MP. NYE WARNS UP.
Mr.. Nye followed, speaking at length
and getting warmed up as he proceed
ed. He began by saying:
II, too, desire to raise my voice
against the amendments proposed here
whereby the more populous counties
are TO be deprived of their just reve-
nues
Il do not object to the state bearing
portion of the expense of criminal
prosecutions nor to the state assisting
the counties in the operation of the
machinery of their respective courts,
but what I do object to is the perpetu-
alton of this most outrageous wrong,
the turning into the state treasury the
fees ITO which the counties are justly
entitled.
1.-The gentlemen claim and use in ar
gument upon this floor the statement
that few criminal prosecutions would
bankrupt some of the counties and
they must therefore have state aid.
We grant that and are ready and will
ing to lend them aid. But why is it
that few criminal prosecutions would
bankrupt any county? Simply because
the revenues of those counties would
not equal the expense of the presecu-
tons and they must need call for state
aid. Now they say as a partial con-
for such state aid we pro-
pose TO turn the revenues of the county
clerk and county sheriff into the state
treasury That, gentlemen, is we'll

THAT REGISTRATION ACT.
Secretary Mccarthy ofths Legislature
ofIs9e Talks AboutIt.

Charles J. Mccarthy was Sec
rotary of the Legislature Of 1892,
when the Registration Act was
passed. Deeming some OF the
statements published about the
disappearance of the document as
rejecting on his official integrity,
Mr.. Mccarthy desired to make a
statement to BULLETIN reporter
and spoke as follows:
"The Registration Act passed
the House all right on its third
reading. 1t was handed to the
Minister of the Interior to be pre-
sented to the Queen for her sig
nature. In the meantime the
Wilcox Cabinet went out. After
their retirement, which was on the
18th of January, 1893, the new
Cabinet came in, on the afternoon
of the 18th, and presented several
bills to the Queen, which she
signed. The Legislature adjourn
ed on the 18th.
"About week or two later Pre-
sident Dole sent me letter by
Horace Wright, asking me to call
at the Foreign Office. / did SO,
and President Dole and Chief
Justice Judd were present. The
President told me that he was in
formed by j, w. Robertson,
chamberlain, that the bill had
been signed by the Queen. 1t

him, and it was brought up in the

know.
president Dole returned me
the copy of the bill, as it was
amended by the Legislature of
1892. From the Advertisers
article this morning Saturday
there was only one person coulC
lose the bill, and that was myself
but l passed the bill through tn,
proper channel to the Queen, snC
it was after her signature the bill
was lost. 1 wish to say this OF
my own account, because although

with the bill.

Captain Magnus johnson, chief
mate of the four-masted schooner
Golden Shore was washed over

for long time was captain of the
Aloha. Latterly there has been
very little doing in the island
trade, and sooner than remain idle

mate on the Golden Shore. He
was born on one of the Shetland
Islands, was about so years of
age and thorough navigator.

Hints to Housekeepers

1t is a sanitary recommendation that in
all basins and tubs, especially those
connecting with or near the sleeping
apartments, the opening into the waist
pipe at night should be stopped, and fresh
water left standing In the basin.
To stone raisins, pour boiling water
over them and let them stand in it FIVE or
ten minutes. Drain, and rub each raisin
between the thumb and finger till the
seeds come out clean, then cut or tear
apart or chop, if wanted very fine. Scald
only few at time.
If the bottom crust of fruit pies is glazed
with the white of egg, 1t will not be soft
and soggy.
The top OF meat and all kinds of raised
pies should be glazed. Beat the yolk Of
an egg for short time, add one spoonful
of milk. When the pie is two-thrds done
remove from the oven, brush over with
the glaze, return to the oven and finish
baking.
If mothers will remember that until the
first teeth are cut there are no secretions
in the month to act upon and begin the
digestion of such starchy foods as bread
foods and gruels. they would often save
the stomachs of very young child en- a
grea, deal of trouble.
Fuler's earth is one of those things
which no family should be without
When grease has been spilled upon the
carpet paste of magnesia and fuller's
earth in equal parts, mixed with boiling
water, should be applied and let dry.
When it is hard brush the powder away,
and the grease spot will have disappeared.
Fuller's earth and benzine will remove
stains from marble,
The most stubborn cases of neuralgia
are apt to yield to a hot-water treatment.
Wherever the pain is located, there a
hot water bag should be applied. The
suffering part should be wrapped in a
blanket, and the unfortunate patient should
be put to bed and with more blankets
and induced to drink at least three cups
of water as hot as the palate can stand
This treatment may seem severe, but it is
sure to bring relief

Feeding Fowls i'm Winter,

The present is critical season in the
poultry house, not only because eggs are
higher priced now than in summer, but
also because the breeding time will soon be
here. A great deal depends upon the feed.
The larger the variety, the better. An
exclusive diet on grain is to be avoided.
Animal food must be supplied in abund-
ance now that Insects are no more.
Good feed in winter is worth much ;
but little profit from the same will be
obtained unless the hens are made to
scratch and keep moving, something as
they are wont to do in summer. Leaves
or litter should cover the floor OF the
poultry house and few oats once Oh
twice day should be thrown upon the
same. The hens will keep healthy ano
vigorous scratching for these kernels
Keep the snow shovelled away; and OF
all pleasant days let the fowls out for
short time. Careful attention to all thes'
matters will tend toincrease profits from
poultry culture

The Brine Test For Potatoes.

When potatoes are placed for u few
minutes in brine, the lightest or those
of poorest quality and most deficient in
starch rise to the top. By this method
it is an easy matter with the aid of Il
hydrometer to determine the amount OF
starch and hence the quality of the po-
tatoes e S. Golf, who planted the
light, the medium and the heavy pota
toes as indicated by the brine test for
two years in succession, reports TO Rural
New Yorker that, unlike European in
yestigators, he noted DO improvement
i'll the quality of the crops as a result of
this selection. He found that tubers
growing nearest the surface were of low
est specific gravity or poorest quality and
that the specific gravity increased with
the depth at which the potato grew.
This he ascribes to the cooler teffpera
ture found at greater depths. He also
found that potatoes grown i'll level cul-
ture, with the consequent lower tenn
perature within the soil, had IA great er
specific gravity than those grown in
hills

Sheep and Cattle.

Last year Maine furnished the Boston
market 7,I68 head or cattle, which was
546more than she sent in 1894. In sheep,
however, there was great falling off in
the number sent, only 5,4o5. the smallest
number sent for several years, and less
than the States of New Hampshire, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts furnished,
which three States show an increase.
Four years ago Maine sent over 80 900
sheep to theBoston market, and since
then the number each year has steadily
decreased.
