II indignant at the manner in which pubic
funds have been wasted in commissions, ana
NJ rho unreasonable and improper burdens
lovied upon litigants In refereeships and re-
coivorships. LeSions Of politicians and hosts OF
layrrers have been enriched to an inOrdlnate
oxtent while the citizens have been wronged by
tboso nractices which have been common for
q long time
T., is 10 be feared that so many politicians
md so many members Of the bar have ac-
crmulated fortunes out Of the fat plckngs or
commissions refereeshps and receiverships that
any extensive and thoroughgoing movement or
reform would encounter tremendous opposition
from the Legislature. Nevertheless. it is high
time that the people Of New-York realize fully
how much they have been plundered by some
If these small commissions, whose work should
have been wound up in few days. nut whose
onerations have been stretched ont by poll
tIcans and lawyers to years OF lucrative pro-
Ixlty. And 1t Is time that the people shoulu
call to account all rapacOus commissioners ana
all greedy lawyers who have been filling their
,,octots unfairly No honest and Intelligent
norson can deny that New-York contains TOO
many politicians who make living out OF poll
tics, and do not earn anything by any 'raue OF
business or industry except politics. IL con-
iains too great a number OF unscrupuious law
yers who act in collision with Sraspihs poll

No careful reader Of this paper can lali 10
understand that The Tribune is not CONCERNING
lawyers as class, and it certainly is not Ill
cned to crticse faithful citizens VINO accept
places with the purpose OF serving the people
faithfully. There are thousands Of worthy ana
excellent lawyers In New-York. There are other
thousands Of consciencelnss pettifoggcrs ana
grabbers. Many philosophical citlzens nave
served on commissions, but, on the other hanh'
commissions, and referecships, and receiverShipS
in hundreds OF cases have been handed over 10
men who were sure to make wrong use OF
their opportunities. 1t Is clear enough mat Ne"

Mrs. Isabel G. Barrows, in an article
in the New York Independent on Plain
Life and High Thought as exemplified
at Leipsic university, says:
Leipsic is one of the great flower
marts of Europe. It is a joysome sight
to go through the early morning market
and see the flowers of all kinds in masses
beyond conception There is no student
SO poor that he cannot add to the beauty
Of his room the charm of flower when
for 2 cents he can have big bunch of
mignonette. This very morning the
expenditure of "a cents gave one literal
ly an armful of mignonette, large and
fragrant; forgetmenots, bluer than the
sky Of rather gray Leipsic; great golden
buttercups like those that grow on the up
land meadows of the Rigi; kornblumen,
the old enperor's favorite flower, and
lilies of the valley in profusion Plain
living, amid flowers, with music, ma
ture and friendship at command, may
easily lead to high thinking, and the
student who is here to strive for ac-
quirement of truth may well scorn the
trappings of wealth. since wealth is not
needed to command the highest and

American Agriculturist reports that
"prices are now close to the importing
point, and it will be remembered that
in years of short domestic crops not
alone are a good many tubers brought
in from the lower Canadian provinces,
but also from Scotland and occasionally
from the north of Europe It's far from
certain that those countries will have
any to spare the present season. During
the seven months ended July 81, which
included the period for importing Ber-
muda stock, a total of 1877 900 bushels
of foreign potatoes came into this coun-
try against l05, 900 year ago. Exports
for this period were respectively 4o2, :
900 and 800, 600 bushels. ?

CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINES.
They Have Done Much to Reduce the Loss
From Water at Firea


They Have Done Much to Reduce the Loss
From Water at Fires.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill writes of "The
Fire Patrol" in ST. Nicholas, the final
paper in his series on the New York fire
department Mr.. Hill says:
The chemical engine" used consid-
erably in the fire departments of several
cities, has aided materially in lowering
the loss by water at small fires. The
preparation carried in the tanks of these
engines has double acknowledgement
only does it extinguish large body of
fire with the use of a small amount of
water, but the liquid itself evaporates
quickly, leaving very little drip in
the apartments or floors underneath the
fire.
The tanks of these engines are charg-
ed with solution of bicarbonate of So
da baking soda) and water, with a
small cylinder of sulphuric acid sus-
pended at the top. When the tank is in
verified, this acid is emptied into the
soda and water, and the mixture at
once generates carbonic acid gas at q
great pressure. Charging the liquid
with this gas gives it the necessary pres
sure to drive it considerable distance.
The hose is coiled around a reel on top
Of the engine, and always connected
with the tanks SO when the tiremen ar
rive at a fire all they have to do is to
run off as much hose as they need, dash
up stairs with the line, give the order
to dump" one of the tanks (there are
two, carrying so gallons each), and they
are all ready to go to work. The chem
ical engine has extinguished more than
% fires of considerable size since it has
been in service in the New York depart
ment, little over year 1t is station
ed on the upper west side of the city,
where there are great number of
dwellings and flats, and it has aided
materially in keeping down the fire

Things Told by Others.

to store sweet potatoes affected with
soil rot or black rot. In spite of every
precaution the disease, which is fun.
gus, will spread. /"
New Jersey capon growers supply
their birds freely with milk
It is said that very few agricultural
fairs in New England have more than
paid their expenses this season, and
some have lost money.
The Long Island peat boys are scat.
tered in various districts, and some con.
tanning peat of fine quality have been
found in the city of Brooklyn itself.
The San Jose scale is proving very in
furious to fruit trees and nursery stock
in many parts of the middle and eastern
states heretofore free from it,
In many villages on Long Island
small quantities of tobacco of fairly
good quality is grown annually.
Root cellars need to be as cool and
dry as they can be made at this season.
It is therefore best to keep the windows
wide open on cool, dry days and at
night and closed on warm and murky
days. Exclude as much Of the sunlight
as possible.

ed who will give first rate price for
fancy butter it will pay farm people to
take extra pains with the butter. They
have control of the quality of the milk
and cream, and every facility is in their
own hands
Mr.. Jared Van Wagenen, Jr., furnish
es to The Rural New Yorker the de-
scription and illustrations of such
model family butter making dairy. We
make some extracts from the pleasant
story
Mr.. Van Wagenen says:
Generally think the preferable loca-
ton for the farm dairy room will be
within or attached to the rear of the
dwelling house.
1t was after good deal of thought
that our own dairy room was located In
the house instead of the barn, and on
the whole we have never regretted the
decision But wherever located it is of
prime necessity that it be constructed
SO as to be affected as little as may be
by outside temperature. e., it should
be cool in summer and easily warmed
in winter, and the same methods in
building will secure both results This
means that it should have at least one
or, better, two dead air spaces in the
walls, separated by boards and building
paper. 1t should have no more windows
or doors than needed, and the windows
should be protected by shutters or heavy
curtains. The inside would better be of
ceiling stuff, either Georgia pine or any
soft wood painted some light cream color.
The floor should be of cement or well
oiled matched pine or oak. The cement
floor is the most expensive, but if sat
isfactory job is done will be best Ce-
ment floors, however, are often poor Oh
account of. cracks and depressions due
to lack of skill in making.
Unless economy compels, even small
dairy room should be supplied with a
steam engine It's advantages are SO
many, especially that of having steam
for heating water and disinfecting all
utensils. OF course the engine should
be partitioned off to avoid dirt and
noise and, above all, the heat from the
boiler in summer
The churn and butter worker should
be near each other and placed as seems
most convenient. Near the churn should
be washing sink, supplied if possible
with running spring water. 1t should
be near the churn, so that the water
can easily be taken to wash the butter.
As near as possible to the butter worker
should be the table on which to wrap
print butter. A marble slab is the or
thodox thing for fancy dairy, but a
clean wooden table serves the purpose
perhaps quite as WELL Over the wash
ing sink pure water and live steam
should be on tap. Water can be heated
simply by turning a jet of steam into
it, or the disagreeable noise thus pro-
duced can be avoided by having "suc-
ton tie, " enabling one to draw stream
Of water nearly to the boiling tempera-
ture without much noise.
The first illustration shows the in
terror of the dairy room. This room is
fitted up in the rear of the house with
