A COOL ROBBER.
The Very Alps of Impudence,

Policeman Badger, of the Tenth
Station, had bit of experience the
other night which he is not fond of
talking about. It was past midnight
as he was leisurely pursuing his beat
through Jessop street, and as he came
opposite to Drayton & Fogg's jewelry
store he observed CLEANS of light
through the cracks of the shutters, and
he raped at the door.
Is that you, policeman ?" asked a
voice within.
YES" answered Badger.
Well-it's only me-it's all right !;
kind o chilly out, isn't it"
eyes"
Thought SO. I was just fixing the
tire-good night"
Badger said "Good night" and pur-
sued his way.
An hour afterward Badger passed
through Jessop street again, and again
ne saw the light in the store. It didn' t
look right, and he banged at the door
loudly.
"Hallo!" cried the voice within. els
it you, policeman"
Cali right, Won't you come in and
warm yourself? It won't hurt ANYTHING
Tor you to slip from your beat for few
minutes"
The door opened and the policeman
entered and found the inmate to be a
very gentlemanly-looking man in linen
buster.
Come right up to the stove, police
man. Excuse me for moment"
The man took the ash-pan from the
bottom of the stove and carried it down
into the cellar and emptied it, and when
he returned wiped his hands and said.
with smile ~.
Chilly night, isn't it,"
"Chilly outside, and dull inside
(Another smile.) New goods for the
Spring trade, and have to keep our
eyes open. Lonesome work, this watch
ing all night; but [ smanage to find
bit of comfort in this. Won't you Join
me in tip. You'll find it the pure
thing" a.r
And the man produced black bottle
and q tumbler.
Policeman Badger partook, and hay
ing wiped his lips and given his fingers
a new warming, he left the store and
resumed his beat, satisfied that all was
right at Drayton & Fogg's.
But the morning brought new reve-
lation. Drayton & Fogg's store had
been robbed during the night of $1,000
in watches and jewelry, and although
policeman Badger carries in his mind a
complete daguerreotype of the robber,
the adroit rascal has not yet been found.

Suicide of a Spanish NObIeman.

The France of Sept. 81 says: eve
have to announce the melancholy suicide
of a most distinguished member of the
Spanish colony in Paris-the Duo de
Santiago d'Arcos. He had been for a
long time suffering from terrible mala-
dy-a carries of the jaw, complicated
with a cancer in the cheek. Being in con-
tinued pain and scarcely able to eat, he
resolved to destroy himself, and accord
ingly at about $50 o'clock on Tuesday
evening he quilted his residence in the
Rue Newton, without informing either
his wife or son, and drove in IA cab to
the bridge Of Argentueil. When there
he dimissed the driver, and, climbing
over the parapet, precipitated himself
into the Seine. Before leaving home he
had written letter to one of his friends
to announce his determination. On We'd
nesday morning the river was dragged,
and the corpse found near the place in
dicated by his letter. The cancer had
made such ravages in his cheek that
some persons thought at first that he
must have discharged pistol into his
face before throwing himself into the
water. He was distinguished man of
letters, having written in particular a
very remarkable History of La Plata y

Wonderful Telegraph Inventions.

An official in the Bavarian telegraph
Office has invented wonderful ap-
paratus, by which not alone autographs,
but signs and even portraits, can be
sent along the wires. The inventor is
Herr Hencker, of Munich, and his
electromagnetic copying apparatus, -
as he calls it, has already been secured
by a Frankfort banking firm This APP
paratus, without the aid of telegraph
list, can transmit writing in different
languages, signatures, portraits, plans,
etc., to any distance with perfect re-
semblance to the original in all points.
Among other exploits Of this wonderful
invention it telegraphed the opening
speech Of the singers festival, which
took place lately, as printed surrounded
by garlands of oak and laurel; also
bills of exchange, government dis
patches IN cipher, messages ia Greek
and Hebrew letters, an arrest warrant
with portrait Of the person "wanted, %
and map as used by generals in time
of war, with the intended movements
Of the troops marked out upon it. An
impression of the object, writing,
drawing, ETC., is taken in a prepared
ink on a sort of silver paper, which is
rolled on revolving cylinder and for
warded to its destination without fur
ther visible aid.

A Western Cranberry Marsh.

A Wisconsin correspondent Of the
Boston Globe writes concerning cram
berry plantation west of Green Bay:
To-day has been one of the most in
teresting I ever spent. I was invited
by Hon. 81. w. Remington, the pro-
prietor and master spirit of the Wis
consin Valley Railroad, to visit the
cranberry marsh of Messrs. Bears, on
the line of that road, near Remington.
There [ saw 5000 bushels Of cranber-
ries in bins. What sight! You can
not imagine the bulk of beauty. While
there Mr.. Bears, Jr., gave me some of
the particulars of their enterprise.
Three years since they entered one-half
section OF the marsh, or 800 acres.
They had but little money, and owe
their present fortune to their industry
and economy. They have ditched and
drained SO that they control the water
on 100 acres. The first year they gath
cred about 200 barrels, last year 800
barrels, and this year they have nearly
5000 barrels! These will sell at the
railroad station on their marsh for $50
per barrel, leaving them net profit of
$4,000. They estimate their next
next years crop at 5000 barrels.

A Hint or Two.

It is the penny saved more than the
penny earned that enriches; it is the
sheet turned when the first threads
break that wears the longest, it is the
damper closed when the cooking is done
that stops the dollars dropping into the
coal-bin; it is the lamp or gas turned
low when not in use that gives you pin
money for the mouth; it is the care in
making the coffee that makes three
spoonsful go as far as teacupful or
dlnarily; it is the walking one Or six
blocks instead Of taking car or omni-
bus, that adds strength to your body
and money to your purse; it is the care
ful mending of each weeks wash that
gives ease to your conscience and length
OF days to your garments; and last OF
all 1t is the constant care exercised over
every part of your household, and con-
slant endeavor to improve and apply
your best powers to your work that
alone give peace and prosperity to the
family.

A Valuable Invention.

A car shoe invented by Mr.. Stillson,
OF Minneapolis, has lately been tested
there with great success. It's design is
to prevent the numerous accidents to
which railroad trains are liable from
one car jumping the track. It consists
OF clamn like arrangement which is
affixed between the wheels Of each
truck. This runs about two inches
above the rails, and if anything hap
pens to throw the wheels from the
track, the clamp at once grasps the
rails, holds the car on the track and
brings the train to halt very quickly.
During one of the experiments at a
curve In the road, on down grade, q
rail was removed from the track. The
car having the shoe on was then started
down the grade, it's speed being not
less than than thirty-five miles an hour.
On reaching the gap the wheels jumped
the track; the car settled down upon
the shoe, which at once grasped the rail
which had not been removed, held the
car in an upright position on the track,
and finally brought it to stand-still in
a distance of $50 feet At second
trial, with speed of fifteen miles an
uoo1 luc SAME ISSItlt was dCCOu pIlSueu,
the car being brought to a halt in thirty
feet. Railroad men are especially de-
lighted with the invention on account
of the saving to the rolling stock which
it promises. The shoe, they say, will
add one-third to the strength of the
truck, it being constructed of iron and
weighing about 500 pounds. It is esti-
mated that with this shoe car will last
on an average twice as long as without
it, while to passengers it is perfect in
s1lrance against a class of accidents
which have caused greater losses of life
than perhaps any other.

Medical Properties of Eggs.

According to the Boston Journal of
Chemistry, the white of an egg has
proved of late most efficacious RENE
dy for burns. Seven or eight successive
applications of this substance soothe
the pain and effectually exclude the
burn from the air. This simple remedy
seems preferable to collodion, or even
cotton. Extraordinary stories are told
Of the healing properties of new oil
which can easily be made from the yolks
OF hens eggs. The eggs are first boiled
hard, the yolks are then removed,
crushed, and placed over fire, where
they are carefully stirred until the whole
substance is just on the point of catch
ing fire, when the oil separates and may
be poured off. It is IN general use
among the colonists of Southern Russia
as means of curing cuts, bruises, and
scratches.

A Lesson for Kings.

A King of France had taken a sud-
den liking for writing poems, and one
morning, as he had just finished one,
which he thought very poor, he said to
Marshal Grammat: "Marshal, read
this piece of poetry, and tell me if it
is not the most impairment one you
have ever seen; because people know I
like poetry lately they send me all
kinds" The Marshal, after reading it,
said: "Sire, your majesty always
judges rightly. 1t is true, this is the
most ridiculous one I have ever seem"
The King began to laugh, and said:
&c Is it not true, too, that he who wrote
it must be very stupid ?" s'Sire, is
there no way of giving him any other
name?" "Ah, WE'LL" said the King.
" | am charmed at your frankness. I
wrote it? ?" "Ah, sire, what treason:
let your Majesty return it me; read it
hastily" Ono; first thoughts are al
ways most natural" It is a pity kings
do not judge by this how far they al
ways are from knowing the truth.

mercial purposes. Otherwise, as Con-
sui Hotham points out, it surely would
be worth our while in this country to
turn our attention seriously to the sub
iect, instead of importing hundreds of
millions of eggs yearly from France.
The reason sometimes given of our
climate not being suitable for poultry,
is more fanciful than real, for there are
districts in the south OF England which
without doubt, might compare favor
ably with the north coast of France, and
as to the expense of keeping poultry,
the French egg dealers hardly feed
them at all, but let the fowls run about
and pick up what they please, in
fields and hedgerows. The difference
in the quality of the soil might possibly

fetal means.-P0W Mall Gazette.

fences are at hand. Another way is to

BOILED CA1F's HEAD.-First remove
the brain, wash the head clean land soak
TOR fifteen minutes. Then tie up In a
Toured cloth, and put into hot water;
remove the scum as it rises, throw in a
little salt, and boil gently until perfect
~ tender. In the meantime wash and
soak the brains in warm water, remove
the skin or film, boil in small sauce
pan fifteen or twenty minutes; when
done chop with three orfour sage leaves
that have been boiled tender, or parsley
if preferred, warm them in spoonful or
two of melted butter. Skin the tongue,
trim off the root, and serve in small
dish with the brains around it. Send
the head to table very hot, with melted
butter and parsley poured over. A
cheek of bacon, or very nice salt pork
boiled, is the usual accompaniment to
Calls head. Boil from II to 2 hours.

4 Romantic History.

In one of the Boston Probate Courts,
the other day, there was developed a
highly sensational case. According to
the court reports the father of Robert
Roberts was Captain of an American
vessel, and during the first French Rev
olution, when Robespierre was in power,
called at a French port. While there,
a wealthy Frenchman, who had by
some means gained the hostility of the
Government, secured passage on board
Captain Roberts vessel, and placed the
sum of 100000 in gold in the cabin.
Previous to the sailing of the vessel,
the Government arrested the intended
fugitive and beheaded him. Captain
Roberts, fearing that he would get into
trouble, and perhaps lose his head, i'm
mediately set sail from the port, and
upon arriving at home, invested the
800, 900 in the Massachusetts, Hospital
Life Insurance Company. A number
of heirs laid claim to the money at the
decease of the son, but the court has
acknowledged the present holder as the
rightful heir. The estate of Roberts
lies in Medfeld, and the company
in which Captain Roberts invested the
$1,000 was one at the first life insur-
ance companies organized in New
England. The heirs of the estate in
question have all along back kept very
quiet respecting the manner in which
so large sum Of money came into the
possession of Captain Roberts, whose
friends and acquaintance, at the time
of his return to those ports, could never
account for his sudden wealth, and
consequently all sorts Of stories were
told respecting it.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Preserving labels,


The following method of preserving
wooden labels that are to be used on
trees or in exposed places, is recon-
mended in German paper: Thorough
~ soak the pieces of wood in strong
solution Of copper Cor sulphate of iron),
then lay them, after they are dry, in
lime water. This causes the formation
of sulphate Of lime, a very insoluble
salt GYPSUM in the wood. The rapid
destruction of labels by the weather is
thus prevented. Bast, mats. Irvine and
other substances used in tying up or
covering trees and plants, when treated
in the same manner, are similarly pre-
served. At a recent meeting of the hor-
tieultural society in Berlin, wooden la
bells thus treated were shown which had
been constantly exposed to the weather
during two years. without being affected
thereby.

bers speedily. Better leave such liquos
for the human stomachs which crave it.
and buy alcohol pure. It is Just ar
cheap, for it can be reduced with water
according to its strength. Use gallon
OF alcohol to five or six of soft water.
Pick you cucumbers, wash them care
fully, SO as not to bruise them, and put
them in as fast as they are collected.
Stir them up from the bottom every
day, and stir in the scum that rises as
