A curiosity of the Tichborne case il
that it is now being conducted By the law
yers on both sides without fees. Mr..
Sergeant Ballantyne made the startling
declaration that the funds on the side OF
the plaintiff were exhausted, whereupon
the Attorney General arose and claimed
credit for equal disinterestedness on the
part of the prosecution. This took place
on the fifty. fourth day Of the trial. Such
a professional contest for honor alone
would be touching spectacle were it
not that the eminent counsel stri pped the
trees of its rich fruit very early in the
fight.

How TO KEEP A HORSE QUIET THAT
KICKS IN THE NIGHT.-This most annoy
ing habit, which often produces insight.
" swellings en- the locks, besides more
serious injuries, is frequently the result
of nervousness and ennui, and not of vi,
cious propcnsities. 1t is form of hys-
terra of the limps, to which others beside
horses are subject. Unfortunately the
same simple means of cure so efacious in
the horse are not so applicable to. the hui
man animal. To cure this disagreeable
habit in the horse all that is required is
to,attach a round ball of wood, weighing
about two pounds, to the hind fetlock CT
the limb most commonly employed in
this pastime, by means of strap two
and half or three feet long. Whenever
he lifts his foot to kick, blow from the
ball at once administers correction for
the fault he is about to commit, and in a
short time he gives up his bad habit

FROZEN APPLES.

1t is not an unusual thing for apples tC
be frozen afterthey gathered, especially
when they are for a time kept in an out
building, as is the Cuslom of many before
storing them IN the cellar. But it is not
generally known that apples are not much
lIjuTt IL, III being frozen, provided they
are kept III dark place where they will
tbaw gradually Frozen apples lying in
heaps, ID out buildings should be deeply
covered to confine the air and perfectly
exclude the light, until the frost is out of
them besides this, when it can be done,
the room should be darkened, or, what
would be better, remove them to q dark
cellar in Which the temperature is six or
more degrees below freezing. We say
six degrees because sound apples net yet
mature, will thaW out aG a temperature
less than this But wherever they are
kept The frost should not be extracted too
suddenly, nor must the light be allowed
to strike them while they are thawing,
because frozen apple, from some cause
not yet well understood, if thswed out in
the dark will remain plump and sound.
while II thawed in the light, even though
the sun should not shine on them, they
will atterward be soft and spoiled.
Again, it often occurs that apples get
frozen In barrels on-the way to market );
keep such barrels headed up, and if holes
havG been bored in them, close them up
to c0ntine the air and exclude light. The
best place tor these apples would be "a
cold cellar, because In such place the
frost could be more gradually drawn out;
but it will answer without removing them
from the barrels, to store them in an out.
building or shed, covering deeply with
straw. SO protected, they may be kept
frozen all whit if desired,a nd will when
they come to thaw out be fresh and SOUND
We have even known apples headed up
in barrels and kept deeply covered in
straw, but not SO deep but they were
several times frozen and thawed during
winter, and yet the following spring they
were sound and in quality equal to the
same variety kept ID a cellar,
Frozen apples, however, must always
be handled with great care for when
hard frozen they are unylelding. and il
ratified together they will be covered with
shallow bruises, which on being thawed,
first turn brown, and soon afterwards
decay.

SAGo-You have often eaten sage pud.
ding Do you know what sago is? 1t is
pith OF q Tree which grows on several
of the islands near Malay.
The sago tree is a kind of palm; it
grows in swamps. When it is ten or
dfteeD years old, it flowers, and then
dies. When sage is to be made, full
grown tree is picked out just before it is
grown to flower; then man cuts it
down close to the ground, and clears
away all the leaves and leaf,stocks, and
takes broad strip of the bark off the up
per side of the trunk.
The pith is then cut or broken down
into course powder It is afterwards
washed and strained; and the sage starch
is separated from the fibrous part. What
does " ibrous" mean? Having fibres or
strings.
The ihrous part is not good to eat the
starchy part only is used for food. This
is made into large heavy parcels, and
neatly covered with sago-leaves, and sold
as raw sage. They make sage bread and
cakes in the Islands where this curious
tree grows.
The cakes are very nice mixed with
butter and sugar, and grated cocoanut.
Many IF the people in the island have
neither vegetables nor fruit, but live al
most entirely on sage AND little fish. 1t
is very strange to see q whole tree trunk
thus turned into food with SO little labor

Richmond was here at 4he time, and my
informant, who was then boy working
in printing Office, wished to get pass
over the Central Railroad With this
purpose in view he entered the office
where the magnate was, fearing that he
would be rudely rebufed when he made
his mission known. After a moments
hesitation he said, falteringly:

DARWINIAN RETROGREss ION. - The
New Iceland correspondent of the San

lowing story:
However strange Mr.. Darwin's theory
that man is decendcd from monkey
may seem to be to many, the following
particulars IN the early history of one OF
the present members of Parliament for
New Zealand are related in all sober
earnestness IN Southern papers. Mr.. B. s
early life was spent III the wilds OF
Southern Africa. When a mere infant
he was one day laid peacefully at rest at
the door OF his woodland home. His
worthy parent, near the cabin, shot the
offspring Of large monkey, at which the
feelings of atfectiOnate mamma were OF
course much wounded. She was however
driven away by the approaching hunter
and, IN passing the cabin door, noticed
and stole the future New Zealand leglsla
tor. The loss was not discovered fol
nearly an hour afterward, and then all
efforts to find the robber proved unavail
ing. Three months after this period y
hunting party came across a family OF
monkeys In the wilderness, and there, in
the arms of the careful. although untutor
