The Judges Sentence.

A few years since, on cold win
ter's night, the thermometer ranging
below zero, Judge Ashman, at the
Sault, heard loud knocking at his
door. The portly and good natured
Judge aroused from his slumbers
went to the door, and inquired the OBJ
tect of his untimely visitor.
"Why, Judge, said the knocker
Il am one of the prisoners-confined
in your Jail, and the other fellow has
broken out and escaped, and / have
come to let you know it.
'Has he broken out?' said the
Judge.
"Yes, and gone off," said the pris-
oner.
The Judge, knowing that escape
from the Sault in winter was impossi.
BILE, asked the visitor if he had any
wood at the jail. He said that there
was very little.
"Well,'' said Judge Ashman, ''take
some from my pile and make your
self comfortable.
He started on with the load, but
suddenly turned round and called
out:
II say, judge, what shall do if the
other fellow comes back to warm
HIMSELF"
''Take a club,"- said the Judge,
'stand at the hole and beat him off;
don't let him in. I'll learn him the
penalty of escaping from our Jail
After wandering about till nearly
frozen, the prisoner did come back to
the jail, and earnestly begged to be
let in to warm himself; but his fel-
low-prisoner said that it was contra
ry to Judge Ashman's orders, and
that he could not be accommodated
there, and the fellow had to wander
about till morning. Prisoners after
that never tried to escape in the win
ter at the Sault.
The prisoners in the Jail at Pontiac
escaped about the same time. The
sheriff called the jailor to account
for it. The jailor said he couldn't
see how it was done, for the day be-
fore he had examined it, and the
largest holes were stuffed full of
Wing newspapers, but the prisoners
were desperate fellows.

Geo. H. Pendleton are at it again

A COUNTRY clerk in rural town
had pet calf, which he was training
up in the ways Of an OK. The calf
walked around very peaceably under
one end of the yoke while Mr.. Clark
held up the other end. But in an
unfortunate moment the man con-
ceived the idea of putting his own
neck in the yoke to let the calf see
how it would seem to work with a
partner. This frightened the calf,
and elevating his tail and his voice,
he struck a ''dead rum for the vii

his head down and his plug hat in

The popular superstition regarding
the days Oh which it is lucky or unlucky
to trim the finger nails, is expressed in
an old rhyme thus:
Cut them on Monday, cut them for
wealth;
Cut them on Tuesday, cut them for
health;
Cut them on Wednesday, cut them for
news;
Cut them on Thursday, new pair of
shoes;
Cut them on Friday, you'll cut them for
Woe;
Cut them on Saturday, a journey to go;
Cut them on Sunday, you'll cut them
for evil,
For all the next week you'll be ruled by
the devil.

Haste to Grow Rich.o

In this Republic, where every man has

pccuniary prosperity is almost too small

| albeit, not ennobling nor intellectual-is
one of the rarest. 1t is peculiar talent
l-dlflicult to cultivate, next to impossible
to inspire. They who possess it mani
fest it early. They who possess it moi
are not slow to discover their lack, what
ever their pretcnsc to the contrary. 1t
would seem to be secular obligation for
man to make money, whether his con-
stitutiOn and taste so incline him or not.
A certain amount he must make-enOugh
to provide for himself and those naturally
dependent upon him-or forfeit some
thing of his seltrespect. The very best
that most of us can do is to keep even
with the world. Not one man in fifty, it
is said, dies out of debt. The estimate
may be excessive, but it is fair to put it
at one in twenty. Think over your ac-
quaintancesl How many of them are not
in arrears? And, of those in arrears,
how many will be left SO with advancing
time?
1t appears strange that he who goes not

should be an exception; and yet such is
undeniably the fact. What idlcness. then,
to talk, in a general way, of the hurry
for wealth! Children cry for the moon,
but not long. They soon learn that they

Manners ut CrOquet.

THERE is no spot where wcll-brcd pcO
pie are apt to approach so near TO ill
breeding as on the croquet- ground. The
cause of the trouble must inhcrc in the
game-which yet appears to be of the
most simple and refined order-for other
| out door sports fail to irritate the feelings
or irritate the feelings or ruffie the tenn
per as this does. 1t is as if some tiny imp
of discord pervaded the field, devoting
himself to the task of drawing to the
surface whatever is contrary in the dis
position of the players. We have seen
girls 90 almost into Mysteries and young
men become sullen or disputatious over
party " croquct" or wicket doubtful
ly run. The game intended solely for
amusement becomes the source of disa-
greement and wrangling, spelling all
pleasure for the peacc-loving as well as
for the contentious.
The origin of most croquet disputes
lies in the diverse understanding of the
rules. Nearly as many manuals arc pub
lished as there are games played, and
rarely is Il match arranged where the
players have all learned of the same au.
thority; hence the difference of opinion
The sole way to avoid dissensions is to
select the best book on the subject and
make its decisions final on mooted points
1t does not matter if a different authority
be used on every ground Though for
those playing much together it is more
satisfactory to have the same), provided
it is regarded as an authority before Il
match be begun. But it does matter very
much that persons meeting for pleasure
should so conduct themselves as not only
to Danish pleasure, but to lose their
friends and their own rcspcct.@ScriJ

Sour Milk Unfit for Cows.

THE Ru,nl Ne1 Yorker, in answer to a
question, advises against the feeding of
sour milk to COWS. 1t says:
We have in the germ theory an explana-
ton of the manner in which milk is
changed from IFS normal condition and
rendered Unfit for human food. 1t has
been proved that stagnant water-the
wafer from filthy pools-is alive with or
ganisms, either animal or vegetable, that
make it unfit for use or to allow COWS to
drink. 1t has been shown by the investi-
cations of Prof Law that living organ
isms can be carried in water through the
body of the COW into her milk and retain
their vitality. 1t has been proved by OK
perrin ent that by feeding cows distillers'
Stops the yeast-plant peculiar to brewers
yeast has thus been conveyed to the milk
and has been found growing therein.
| The aciditying germs in sour whey. when
| fed to milk cows, retain their vitality in
the milk of such cows, causing it to sour
prematurely. Numerous well -authent-
Gated cases are recorded where milk has
been injured by the COWS breathing the
foul odors of decomposing animal mat
ter-the emanations from purifying car
| casses of calves and horses left exposed
in the pasture. Hence it must be evident
that sour milk when fed to mich cows
must have more or less influence on the
milk yielded by the cows, affecting its
flavor and rendering it more susceptible
to decomposition than it would be if this
character of food was not given to the
cows.
But if milk is liable to be injured and
tainted from the causes we have named,
as well as from a great many other causes,
such as ordinarily cause the various dis
eases incident to the animals, neglect in
the case of dairy utensils, uncleanliness
in milking, etc. etc, we increase the diff
ficu1ty by putting such milk back into the
bodies of the cows to be again used over
in the process of secretion, and sowing
again the seeds of decomposition for a
crop of bad milk.
Again, as a matter of profit, we are of
the opinion that sour milk can be used
with more advantage as food for hogs
than for cows. Sour milk makes a good
diet for swine, and in connection with
grain is said to give a most excellent
flavor to the meat Indeed, it is asserted
that no food, in connection with grain or
meal, is better suited for fattening hogs
than milk, both for the increase of weight
and quality of meat which it makes 1t
is undoubtedly good, healthy food for
swine, and is better adapted to the making
OF meat in this class OF animals than the
production of milk in cows The best
food Tor mich cows is good, sweet grass
from upland pastures 1t can be produced
more cheaply than sour milk, and with
the light of our experience and observa-
ton we should say that more profit can
be realized by feeding such milk to swine
than to cows.

enough When washed clean the head is
boiled for an hour in water with a hand
full of salt, the head being kept covered
with water to prevent unequal discolora-
ton. The brains are boiled in little
water by themselves, and when cooked
are broken up with the water and mixed
with butter and flour for thickening, and
chopped hard boiled egg, and some
chopped parsley. This is served as
sauce. The sauce may be poured over
the head in the dish or served in sauce
turecn separately. The head is cut up in
thin slices above the cheek, so as to give
to each slice an equal portion of all the
delicate parts of the meat The lower
jaw-bone may be removed easily when
the head is sufficiently boiled, and the
