have decided that about one fifth of the

mering Here aud there portions Of
the walls call be rehahilitated but other
items OF expense will be encountered to

four fifths of the value of the institu.

"As.I remarked the other day, am
opposed to the erection of anything ex-
cept fire proof buildings for state pur-
poses, or course | am not a member Of
the board of public lands and buildings
and am speaking now as private citi,
zen. It seems useless to erect anything
else in view Of the fact that the legis.
lature for many years have made no
provisions for insuring state buildings.
"What can the state do about rebuild
ing the asylum" was asked
THAT is precisely what is worrying a
great many people" answered Governor
Savage "At present there is not a
dollar on hand that can be legally used
even to pay an architect for looking
over the ruins. do not know what the
board Of public lands and buildings
will do III regard to the matter but it
seems to me that the only way out of
the difficulty is to let some one rebuild
the asylum and wait until the legisla-
ture convenes for reimbursement.
This is big task. The chances are
that the legislature would allow the
claim without question but they
might not do it and there is no law to
compel them to do so. The bids would
have to be advertised III the regular way
and the contracts let in the usual man.
ner But there would be no recourse
for the contractor in case the members
of the legislature proved refractory. He
could not commence suit against the
state nor could he execute mechanic s
lien and gain the possession of the
building.
"At present do not see how the Nor.
folk citizens could aid us in the matter.
They are very anxious to do SO and |
am sure that they would raise the money
to repair the west wing at once and
wait for the legislature to reimburse
them if such course was possible
But believe the board will have to
advertise for bidders and award the
contract in that way"

"Why. it's early yet. It's not late"
Just then the clock sounded one, two,

The wife looked at him with grim
rebuke. He caught her eye and jerked
out this reply:
"Wcll, now, if you want to believe
that darncd S1,5O clock before your
dear husband it's all right"
1t was a similar occasion, only more

quicklime as big as the two fists in a
clean earthen pitcher, cover it six inch

run through double cheesecloth. Put
in small bottles and cork tight. In
using always pour off half an inch
from the top Of bottle that has stood.
