PIcKLING TIM E.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves well stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much of the work has been given
up; but we all have a few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are a few which are old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Without Cook
ing.-Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob, have the corn Just picked,
one cup of sugar, half a cup of salt
and a cup of cold water; mix all to,
gether and place in sterilized cans,
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet Relish.-A quart of boiled
beets chopped, two cups of sugar, ia
blespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of
white pepper, half a teaspoon of red
pepper and a cup of grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.-These deli
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often, may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers, and
when ready to can. wash and cut in
strips with the scissors, cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes; drain and plunge into ice wa
ter to cover, in which there is a large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To one quart of vine
gar add two cups of sugar. Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until OVERCOMING seal
and store in a cold place.
Ripe Tomato PickIe.-Mix the fol-
lowing ingredients in a stone jar:
Three pints of peeled and chopped
tomatoes, a cup of celery chopped,
four tablespoonfuls of chopped red
pepper, the "bity" kind, and four ia
~blespoonfuls of chopped onion, the
same of salt, six Tablespoonful of
same Of salt, six tablespoonful of
teaspoonful of cloves, the same of
cinnamon, a teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg, and two cups of vinegar. This
will keep a year, and is good to use
in a week. Fine for meats.

New Acts, 900 Pages.
SOME CURB is NECESSARY
Failure of Voters to Nominate and
Elect Representatives Competent
for the Work of Statute-Mak-
ino-Good Year for Reform.

Especial Trenton Correspondence
Trenton.-The completion of the
1912 volume of session laws, with us
240 new acts, covering more than 900
pages shows hat 1.-The exhibit is ap-
palling," and something must be done
TO curb the great statute-making in
dustry in this State. To the thought
full citizen, who compares the constltu-
ton of ~present-day Legislatures with
those of the past, the cause OF the
flood of new laws would seem to be In
the failure of the voters to nominate
and elect representatives who are
competent for the work. When a
manufacturer or merchant desires to
employ help, he looks about for men
who are likely to render the best SER
vices. Many may apply, only to be
told that their records will be investl-
gated and their qualifications inquir-
ed into. But when the voters are call
ed upon to select public servants to
take up the important and serious
work of passing laws to govern more
than two and a half million of people,
they pay little attention to the work
of selection. Choice is made from the
good, bad and Indifferent candidates
who thrust themselves to the front;
and not frequently the good and COM
petent are set aside in favor of the
bad, who may be regarded as a better
vote-getter on election day.
No ~Law-Making Experience.
The Legislature has been made a
stepping-stone to future political ad-
vancement and professional advertis-
ing. Young men who have had no
preparation for the serious work, and
frequently no experience in w a
municipal body, seek the responsible
Offices of Senator and Assemblyman.
Some of them have not the slightest
conception of the duties, and the peo-
pie would probably be surprised to
know how few have eve read the
State Constitution. The result Is that
not only are most of the enactments
verbose, RECONSTRUCTED and of dubious
meaning" but half of the time of the
higher courts is occupied in declaring
invalid unconstitutional acts, and in
Strengthening out the affairs of coun-
ties, cities, towns and townships that
have been confused by the i~ll-consider-
ed and unnecessary legislation. This
is a good year to adopt the reform.
Indications are that there is to be
great competition for nominations,
with five or six sets of candidates in
the field. Let the voters, on primary
day, give less heed to party and fac
tional affiliations, and more to the
qualifications of the legislative candi-
dates.

Complains of Muffier Nuisance.

State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Job H. Lippincott is receiving many
complaints from citizens all over the
State who are annoyed late at night
by the nuisance of the muffier on auto
mobiles. The people seem to realize
more than the autoists that devices
known is 'muffler %cut-outs' shall not
be used within the limits of any city,
town OF borough, or within two hun
bred feet of any horse-drawn vehicle
on the public highway" and they in
tend that this amendment to the auto
effect now and has been since April 2
last, and the penalties for disregard
ing it are similar to those for violation
of other provisions of the automobile
law. The complaints coming in to the
State Commissioner are largely be-
cause of the autoists plainly disre-
garding this important amendment to
the law. One man writes that his
sleep is disturbed by "some road
devil" driving by at night, letting the
whole world know he is coming" 9th
ers write saying that their horses
have been frightened by these muffler
cut-outs being used while passing
them, and still others write that ever
in the day time the noise wakes the
baby or annoys the sick or the rest
less or the nervous, and frightens wo-
men and children on the streets. The
policy of the State department is not
to order arrest On first complaint, but
on the second me-. These letters re-
ceive prompt attention. The offender,
if he is described, gets warning not to
repeat the o~ffense, and the second
time he is dealt with. Mr.. Lippincott
sends to each man this quotation from
the law andtells him he must so equip
his car: Every motor vehicle shall
have and every motor vehicle shall
use devices to prevent excessive noise,
annoying smoke and the escape of gas
and steam, as we'll as the falling out
of embers or residue from the fuel;
and all exhaust pipes carrying exhaust
gases from the engine shall be direct
ed parallel to the ground or slightly
upward" He then follows it up with
the paragraph quoted above about the
use of the muffler and it's abuse. Mr..
Lippincott has prepared a little pam
phlet, which it is well for autoists to
have for ready reference, as it speaks
the latest words on automobile legis-
lation in New Jersey.

JURY SOLE JUDGE OF FRAUD
Decision by Justice Minturn Reverses
District Courts Action In
Replevin Suit,

An interesting opinion dealing with
the automobile trade vas handed
down by Justice Minturn in the case
of Lindsey e. Wooley, of Jersey City,
against the Crescent Automobile Com
pany. The decision holds that where
a vendor, having executed a bill OF
sale for an automobile, retained pos
session of it and operated and con-
trolled it as his own, and the vendee
failed to assert his title until levy on
the car under an execution at the suit
of a creditor of the vendor, the in
quiry whether the transaction was
fraudulent or not, arising out of the
absence of a change of possession aft
er the sale, presented a question of
fact for the jury to determine" This
case came upon an appeal from the
First District Court of Jersey City,
and is important to the automobile
trade as settling a vexed question.
The suit was in replevin to recover
possession of an automobile, and the
court directed the jury to render a
verdict for the plaintiff. The plain.
tiff claimed title to the car by virtue
of a bill of sale executed to him by
Alfred R. Howe, who was indebted to
him for 1895 for sundry advances.
This sum represented the considera-
ton named in the bill of sale. Howe
being unable to settle, turned the ma
chine over to Wooley, who, being I'M
able to use the machine at the time
and going on a business trip, arranged
with Howe to retain possession of it,
use it until his return, upon considera-
ton that Howe would the eX-
penses incident to it's maintenance
and operation. While Howe had the
machine in the garage the Plaintiff,
Wooley, got judgment against Howe
and the machine was r~eplevined, and
Wooley refused to surrender it. The
court says: THE plaintiff maintains
his title to the car upon the ground
that the bill of sale was executed to
him in good faith for available con-
s%ideration. The defendant attacks
this claim thus made upon the ground
that the sale by Howe was void under
the twelfth section of the statute of
frauds, and upon the ground that
plaintiff was not a purchaser in good
faith" The court concludes hat the
jury, not the court, had the right to
settle title, and reverses the case

The Measure of Man.

In the kingdom of Christ greatness
is not measured b. size, but by use
f~ulness. The greatest man in the
kingdom of God is the man who does
the greatest amount of good in the
world. The first man to whom the
arms Of Christ are o~utstretched is the
man who gives a cup of cold water
to his neighbor and not the man who
possesses talents, but keeps his hands
off the world and never stoops to lift
his fallen brother. This is the Chris
tan sentiment 1t is also a universal
sentiment-Rev. E. T. Baroody, Pres
byterian, Savanna, III.

ThornIess Blackberries.

l have heard of thornless blackber-
ries having been discovered in North
Carolina and along the eastern coast.
but unfortunately the berries were not
of any use for food. have also grown
so-called, but not by any means thorn
less, ones 40 years ago. Electricity was
also known for thousands of years, but
it was worthless until developed
Steam was also useless as an aid in
performing the labor Of mankind until
some one made 1t useful. 1t Is the
same with the thornless blackberry. It
Is now productive; delicious to eat.t
large and in every way valuable for
food, and absolutely smooth like the
twig of an apple tree. There are seed
less apples in existence today. but
none of them are of any commercial
value. There was once so-called
stoneless plum, but it was not larger
than a large bean, and was not fit for
human food. The bush was an i'll
shaped thorny one and the fruit abso-
lutely useless. Now there are, growing
on my farms, splendid prunes and
plums which are stoneless. Nature,
gives us a hint and it is mans bust
ness to carry out the work to produce
results.-Luther Burbank in the Chris
