Hoes INlORCHARDs.-The utility OF
keeping hogs in orchards for the pur-
pose of devouring the fallen fruit, and
thus destroying the grubs of the codling-
moth, ETC.. is admitted by every fruit
grower; but it sometimes happens that
this cannot be, done, for in many places
the orchards are kept under cultivation,
crops of vegetables or cereals being raised
in. them. When an orchard is in grass,
hogs can be kept in it. II the damaged
fruit is not picked up Immediately, it
may as well be left on the ground until
it decays, for the jar which it receives in
falling warn the grub to quit its tempOr-
ary habitation and conceal itself in the
ground.

Cooking Hams.

| have learned much in the half dozen
years since nave assumed the respoIIsi-
biiity of being my own housekeeper, as
the best mode OF boiling ham. / knew
very we'll that it was spOi.ina a good
ham ever to fry il wlie, il can he broileti.
But found there were ways oi boiling
ham so as to ruin it; Ii it be Mary
land or Virginia ham, or any other
rather old or hard, it should be soaked
over night in plenty of water then put
in suitable cooking pot of cold water
which should be raised to gentle boil,
or rather simmer, anu this should be
done for fifteen minutes for every pound
weight of the ham. Then take out and
remove the skin. and dust over plenti-
fully of bread crumbs and set in the oven
to bake frsm fif cen to thirty minutes.
A ham cooked in this way should be
very tender, juicy and of fine flavor, pro-
vided it was originally good.
If this, will assist any one in her
knowledge how to improve upon the
"old way" of preparing whole ham for
the table. i shall be satisfied. | know
very well that if once tried it will be
salways tried.-[Germantown Telegraph.

Something TO Do.

My young friend, you have been fold
ing your hands and sighing for some
thing to do for the last six months, and
have done nothing else n7ls1 --i'' " 81.
While you have been waiting for

something, and by so doing have got a

You want to be book-keeper or a
clerk? If you can get position as such,
do so by all means; but remember there
are two book-keepers to every set of
books to keep, and several clerks to
every vacancy; therefore you stand Il
poor chance Of getting employment in
either caracity. y % Ltifts7j 4''r'- t-
'Then," you sesLl ifI can not be'a
bOok-keeper or clerk, what shall do
to secure for myself respectable liv-
ing?" l.Iis. ae'.,1i "a .as-..- .s.sl--
Obey the injunction: "Whatsoever
thy hand tindeth to do, do it with all
thy might"
If you cannot find employment in the
crowded city or town, go to the country,
ask the farmers for work, and they will
give it to you, and pay you well for your
labor. ~ - No. r. 7saa'.' ..'.- ~
What if such work does not exactly
suit your taste?

To DESTROY RATS AND MICE. One of
the surest and most available poisons
for this purpose is carbonate bsryta-a
a dry, white, tasteless powder, not adap-
ted to mingle with any liquid. In
using it, mix it up with good dripping
and meal, or beat it up with the raw
flesh of fish, so as to make a relishing
paste for them to eat. If it is to be
used for the destruction of troublesome
rats, take piece of raw fish and rub
the powder we'll into it with stick.
Care must be taken to so place the bait
that only the vermin intended to be de-
stroyed by it shall have access to it, as
it is deadly poison, alike destructive
to dogs and any other animals that will
eat the preparation of which it forms q
component part. Always burn the
bats that have been set over night, rs
the surviving vermin will seldom touch
that which has been mauled about by
those who have feasted upon and been
destroyed by it.

ssA- James Crowley, single man,
who had been drinking freely during
the evening, visited the residence of his
brother-in-law, Mr. William Stead, in
Chestnut street, about one o'clock last
night, and after gaining an entrance,
proceeded to the work of demolishing
all the furniture, in the house. The in
mates cried MURDER" which brought
officer McCloud to the spot. The Off
Ger entered the house and found Craw-
ly in the attic searching for a gun. He
was taken into custody, but resisted the
officer, and avowed his determination of
remaining where he was. Officer Sulh-
van was summoned, and Crowley was
finally taken to the lookup. This
morning he was taken before Justice
Furman, but no one appearing to pre-
fer a complaint, he was fined for disor-
derby conduct, and discharged.

YOUNG MEN.-Most young men con-
slider it great misfortune to be poor. or
not to have capital enough to establish
themselves at their outset in life in bust
ness. So far from poverty being mis-
fortune to him, if we may Judge from
what we every day behold, it is really
o blessing the chance is more than
ten to one in favor of success a young
man, over one with plenty of money.
Let one look back twenty years and see
who commenced business at that time
with abundant means and days /; how
many can now boast of wealth and
standing =? On the contrary how many
have become poor, lost their place in
society, and are passed by their own
boon companions with look that pain

Coon ADVICE. The New York Jour
nal OF Commerce thus talks to tn able
bodied young men who delight to make
fools of themselves by lounging around
that city, waiting for something to turn
up:
Now is the time for sturdy young
men who cannot find situations here
as clerks, porters, statesmen watchmen,
bookkeepers, etc, to go into the coun-
try. Stand not on the order of your
going, but go at once! An advertise
ment for help in our paper, if in taking
language and promising a good situa
ton, will attract more answers than can
be read in one day by the advertiser.
The city is overcrowded. This appeal
should be needed especially by Office
seekers. They are over ten thousand
expectants in this city, who are apply
ing at the Custom House, Surveyors
Office, Naval office. Postofice, Revenue
offices and Navy Yard for a situation,
Not one in ten of you can obtain what
you seek, and Eot one in hundred
ought to have what you desire. You
can obtain from twenty to thirty dol
lars month and your board for six
months honest labor, and within the
distance to which you can walk without
too great fatigue. Put out, all of you
that are not absolutely tied here by in
dissoluble bonds. Let us have no more
of you.

RsB~ The brick building, owned by
Councilman Jacob Schultheis, at Union
Square, recently enlarged and other
wise greatly improved, now has an adj
ditional frontage on First avenue. The
entrance to the office of the Chief, Cap
tain and Lieutenant, is still from Eli
zabeth avenue, but the patrol men en-
ter their quarters from the First aven-
ue-having yesterday taken possession
of portion of the first floor, which af-
fords them q more comfortable place
than the dingy cellar which has here
tofore been used as the rendezvous. A
very neat Office in the centre of the
first floor, directly adjoining the ma
gistrate's department, has been fitted
up for Chief Keron. A black walnut
table, camp stools, lounge, and other
very necessary articles of furniture
have been also provided, by the police
committee, who seem to believe, with
other go-a-headative people, that our
city can well afford to support tidy
establishment, especially when the po-
lice, by their great efficiency, so justly
merit the accommodations allowed the
police of other cities. Two frames, con-
tanning likenesses' of all strangers arres-
ted here, forming the "Rogues Gal
lery," ornament the walls.
The Police Department is now
thoroughly organized-Judge Tenney,
the Chairman of the Police Committee,
having at the last meeting of the City
Council reported stringent rules for the
governance of the force, which has be-
come terror to ali the scamps in New
York.
We have every reason to congratu-
late ourselves on the protection afford
ed u.s. 1t is seldom that robbery is
committed in our city, while there is
less disorder than in any other place of
its size that we ever knew of. Occa-
sionally drunken man is arrested, and
confined over night, and once or twice
in three months we hear of some poor
miserable fellowwh steals two or three
dollars worth ofgoods, but this is about
the extent of the crime committed in
our city. All around us, we daily read
of robberies, knock-downs, free fights,
&C., but in Elizabeth we hear Of no
such things. The Trenton Gazette, a
day or two since, complained of the
loafers who continually, from morning
until late at night, lounge around the
streets and corners of that city.
In Elizabeth, no idle man can be
found-no not one--all are employed,
all bent on providing themselves with
home. Our sister cities might well
take pattern of Us, or engage our Chief
to give them that protection only'se-
cured by the appointment of brave
and skillful officer. We challenge any
place in the State, with half the num-
Der of inhabitants, to present as clean
record from vice and crime as our own
city has during the past year.

NATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL CON
VENTION.
The National Sunday School Conven-
ton, constituted of delegates from all
Sunday Schools throughout the United
States, is now holding its third meeting
in Newark The first national conven-
ton was held in the old Chatham street
chapel, in New York, in 1912, and was
largely attended tor that early period
ia the cause of Sunday Schools. The
second convention was an outgrowth Of
the great religious awakening through
out the country in 1878, and was
held in Philadelphia in 1859. The pre-
sent convention had its most immediate
cause in the National Christian Conven-
ton, which met in New York last win
ter. By noon of yesterday, more than
six hundred delegates from all parts OF
the country, and few from Canada,
had registered their names on the roll
of the Convention, and been assigned
places of temporary residence by the
hospitality of Christian people of New
ark With such a beginning, it is pro-
bable the whole attendance will be even
larger than anticipated. The sessions
are holding in the First Baptist Church

holding about two thousand persons.

effected. upon report from the COM
mittee, and as follows:
