THE Use or PIckLEs There il mo-

The USE OF PICKLES There is no
uutrlment in pickles; but they nevertheless
have their use IN dietetics. The acid they
contain aids the digestive process. With
concentrated and fat meats they are es-
pecially grateful to the stomach, and in
Winter and Spring supply the place Of
fruits. We all remember with what avidi.
ty our soldiers in the late war ate the pickl-
ed onions and relishes sent them. These
in fact supplied to some extent the place
of both vegetables and fruit. raa

CIRcUMsTANTIAL EvIDENcE.The
terrible possibilities of circumstantial evil
dence are seen in a story in the Methodist.
The story is long and we condense:
A company are dining; one of the guests
shows a very curious and valuable gold
coin from the far east. 1t is eight squar-
cd, covered with curious devices. The
coin is passed around the table till it gets
to certain officer who remarks carelessly,
yes, have seen one like it before. y
Near the close of the dinner, the owner of
the coin remarked, "will the gentleman
who has the gold piece please return it,
There was a look of surprise, and some agi-
tation no one knew where it was but the
last place wi ere it was seen was at the
officers plate A gentleman, perhaps to
relieve himself and others, suggested, "let
us all be searched" The company agreed,
except the officer, who said, II give you
the word OF soldier that have not the
coin; yet will not be searched" This
increased the suspicion against him; but
while they we're celebrating, waiter came
in saying, IA curious gold coin had been
found in napkin that was carried from
our table" 1t was the missing piece!
The officer now claimed the privilege of
saying word: "The reason | objected to
search was that l had in my pockets coin
precisely like the missing one;' and he
produced it.
Evidetly if the missing piece had not
come to light, as it did, and the officers
piec' had been found Un him, it would
have been estecmed very strong evidence
Of guilt The gold piece was not only ex-
ceedingly rare and curious but the sur
rounding circumstaces we're all a ainst the
officer. Judge nothing before the time,

THE great decline in gold
has had the effect to bring
down coffee and sugar. The
best of coffee can now be
bought for % cents, and the
finest coffee sugar GAY at IA
cents. This is a very material
decline. We suppose tea will
also drop, as have silks and
other imported goods.
If this state OF things con
tinues, we hardly know what
the Democracy will howl about
next Fall. Last year they had
the highprice of sugar and cof'
fee TO snivei over, and the shad,
ow ofthe negro to make mouih hs
at; but now sugar and coffee
are getting "dog cheap and
even the negro no longer casts
a threatening shadow across

Starting Tomatoes.

For family use a small box
filed with earth will answer
every purpose for starting the
plants. Keep it in a warm
room and give it water. Good
plants will be secured with
care. Cover the box with
glass to counteract the dryness
of the atmosphere in the
room. Place the box where
The sun shines. When the
plants are two or three inches
high they may be placed in
small pots to be afterwards
transplanted in larger ones, or
into a hotbed. Two or three,
or even four, transplantings
before putting them into the
open ground will hasten their
ripening. Use water freely at
each transplanting, and re-
move a ball of earth with each
plant.
They want plenty of light,
and all the fresh air they can
stand. For some time previ-
Gus to the first planting, the
plants can stand in a cold
frame that can be covered
with boards every cold night.
