Hedges Heirs Estate - The Cumberland News
of Wed, contains a lengthy article in regard to the above fortune, in
which it is stated the amount now lying in the bank of England
belonging to the Hedges heirs in America is $250,000,000 and
constantly increasing. The latest circular in regard to the matter
concludes as follows:
"With such a claim as that of the
Hedges family there can hardly be any difficulty in getting the best
legal advice and it may therefore be expected that they will have the
proceedings OF the Lord Chancellor with regard to their fund looked
into. A discussion of the origin and present extent of his
jurisdiction over the vaults of the Bank of England in light lead to
some curious revelations. If he won't distribute the money, what does
he mean to do with it? If he thinks he can use it to pay the national
debt, and intends to "cover it into the Treasury" for that
purpose, it is the time the fact should be known in this country. If
his proceeding are fair and above board, why is it that all this
wealth continually accumulates and no distribution is ever effected?
Why is it too, that all his decisions about the American claims are
secret, and never get in the reports? the bank must now have
thousands of millions of unclaimed property, which his indecision and
vacillation and secrecy tie up. the bank does not want it, and the
heirs are waiting for it; the old jurist is always at work on the
cases, and still we seem to be as far off from the end as ever."
C E Brant will have a full line of millinery goods early in next month.

RECIPES
CALF'S LIVER AND BACON
Wash a fresh liver well, and when quite ready to cook it, cut in long, narrow slices. Dip each in flour highly seasoned with pepper and salt. Melt a tablespoon of good dripping in a saucepan, lay in the liver, the slices fitting neatly to one another, stew with sliced onion and covered entirely with very thin slices of salt pork or bacon. Fit a close top on the saucepan, cook very slowly, never allowing it to bubble, for one hour. The liver should be steamed, not stewed, much less fried. When very tender take it out and lay upon a dish. Ad a tablespoonful of tomato sauce to the gravy, thicken with browned flour wet with water; boil once and pour over the liver.
MASHED POTATOES
Pare and boil the potatoes, and after every trace of the water has evaporated,mash them with your pestle, still in the kettle over the fire; they are naught if not kept hot. Get out every suggestion of a lump, and as you mash put in a generous quantity of fresh butter, and, if you have it, some cream - if not cream, enough milk to make the potato rich and moist. Salt it to taste, and serve fresh and hot piled up and smoothed over in a hot dish with a little black pepper sifted on top. Mashed potato which has stood on the stove for a while before serving is poor stuff. If you want the top brown hold over it a salamander or a very hot stove lid - don't put the dish into the oven, that only makes the contents watery.
THE HOME DOCTOR
In congestive and inflammatory
diseases, the use of hot water thrown by the hand against the eye is
recommended by Dr Leartus Connor as the best remedy.
Two good hearty meals in the day are
sufficient for health - one before going to work and the other after
work is over; that its, breakfast and supper, or what is the same,
late dinner. Some lunch is needed between these meals, but this
should be light.
Hot, heavy suppers taken shortly
before going to bed prevent refreshing sleep, and are among the most
frequent causes of attacks of indigestion. At the same time, an empty
stomach is to be avoided; a few biscuits or something equally light,
is all that is required.
Never use anything but light blankets
as a covering for the sick. The heavy, impervious cotton counterpane
is bad, for the reason that it keeps the exhalations from the pores
of the sick person, while the blanket allows them to pass through.
Weak persons are invariably distressed by a great weight of
bed-cloths, which often prevents their getting any sound sleep whatever.
COLD IN THE HEAD
This disease can be cured at once, if taken care of at the beginning. dissolve a teaspoonful of borax in a pint of hot water; let it stand until it becomes tepid, snuff some up the nostrils two or three times during the day, or use the dry powdered borax like snuff, taking a pinch as often as required. At night, have a handkerchief saturated with spirits of camphor; place it near the nostrils, so as to inhale the fumes while sleeping.
