at the capitol show They typify the general sentiment of the entire slave holding population in regard to the fre- quent and persistent instances of slaves being held in the North. While there was constitutional guarantee for the delivery of these fugitive or Kidnapped slaves 1t was a sore condition for the Southern States that they could not find any way of enforcing their rights. There was refusal, time and again, to get the slaves back. All the papers and evidence were presented In many cases without fault and the refusals were reduced to pointed defiance of slavery at the sacrifice of the spirit Of the Federal constitution.
 . The indignation of the slave-holding States was just us great later and It has often been stated q mystery by historians that the deadly conflict which followed did not come as early as 1850. The compromise of 1850 and other com promises had to do with the claims or the South to fugitive slaves.
 Governor Cobb wrote to Governor JeIks of a particular slave escape From Savannah, Ga, who reached Thomas ton, Me- on board a vessel in 1887. His name was Atticus and he is supposed to have been among the collection Tor whom requisition was issued by the Georgia Legislature through the 99v- ernor There Is no record, according to Governor Cobb, of any action of the Maine Legislature in respnse to the Alabama resolutions. It all seems to have been a piece of real, but detached history of the thirties, at least as far as consequences are concerned.

ON CLEANING SILVER,


 ON CLEANING SILVER. The methods of cleaning silver are as
 many as the roses of June. Silver
 should be cleaned as seldom as possi- ble. the frequency depending upon the daily care. The gradual wear of daily
 use and mere washing ana wiping are considerable. and, when the rubbing with cleaning powders Is added to that, we wonder that there Is any heirloom silver left.
 If the silver is carefully washed and wiped according to the directions and then occasionally polished with a chamois. the cleanings need not be fre- quent. If silver tarnisnes quickly, the housewife should look carefully to her traps and furnace because this rapid discoloration is a pretty good indica- ton of the presence of noxious gases.
 One of the best ways of cleaning large pieces of silver that are covered with a great amount of ornamentation is to place them in kettle of warm so da water and bring them gradually to the boiling point. Line the kettle with pieces of cloth and lay pieces of cloth between the silver. Rinse in clear hot water and wipe with soft towels. Polish with chamois. There should be great caution against using too great pressure when rubbing the silver. for. especially if it is old. it may be bent easily and misshapen.
 A most satisfactory way of cleaning silver Is to rub the article all over with alcohol and polish with dry silver poll ish applied with a piece of soft cloth, old damask, or a silver brush when the pieces are ornamented. Polish with old, clean damask and finally with the chamois.
 Pieces of silver that are seldom used should be wrapped jn cotton flannel 1aaar nayar tn danneIa dr other uronIApe because they cause 1t 70 tarnish The same may be said of steel knife blades WooIens cause them to rust, probably by absorbing moisture.-Washing Star.
 After explaining that apples contain more phosphates in proportion to their weight than any other article of food. fish not excepted, he adds: "Phosphoric acid contains the least amount of earth salts, and for that reason is probably the nearest approach to the elixir of life known to the scientific world If you want to live long and to retain your youth at the same time. eat plenty of apples, drink only distilled water and east as little bread as possible"
 An American dietitian puts his case very mildly in saying: An apple con tains as much nutrlment as a potato, in a pleasanter and more wholesome forn."
 Let 1t be distinctly understood that all this laudation of the king of fruits assumes that ripe. sound apples and none other are to be eaten. Green ap- pies are solid verjuice and justly dreaded by mothers and nurses. The apple, at It's best estate, Is nutritious and nd~medicinAl, a corrective of digestive and valuable in rheumatism, biliary irregularities and insomnia.
