A GOOd-Tempered Lion.

In the menagerie at Brussels there is lion called Danco, whose cage was late ly in want of some repairs. The keeper desired carpenter to set about it, but when the workman came and saw the lion he started back with terror. The keeper entered the annals cage, and led him to the upper part of it, while the lower was reftting. He there amused himself for some time playing with the lion, and being wearied, he soon fell asleep. The carpenter, fully relying upon the vigilance of the keeper. pur- sued his work with rapidity, and when he had finished he called him to see what he had done. The keeper made no answer. Having repeatedly called in vain, he began to feel alarmed at his slt- uation, and he determined to go to the upper part of the cage, where, looking through the railing, he saw the lion and the keeper sleeping side by side. He immediately uttered 8 loud cry the lion, awakened by the noise, started up and stared at the carpenter, with an eye of fury, and then placing his paw on the breast of his keeper, lay down to sleep again. At length the keeper was awakened by some of the attendants, and he did not appear in the least apprehen- sive on account of the situation in which he found himself, but shook the lion by the paw, and then gently conducted him to his former residence.

A Sad Sight.

A pathetic scene was witnessed in front of the Police Court in St. Louis. The workhouse van was before the door. The usual crowd of lookers-on were present. In their midst stood young lad with baby. When the prisoners came filing down the steps the child recognized, bringing up the rear of the dreary pro- cession, one of three painted women, and holding up it's little hands raised it's weak voice and called out joyously, Mammal mamma p But it's laughter was soon turned into tears when, after the mother "a young woman-kissed and shook the the tiny hand of her baby, she was pushed into the already crowded bus and the door locked behind her. The little one began crying, and the boy took her around to the side, where she kept on crying, "Mamma mamma P and poking her chubby fingers in through the grating of the window until the vehi- cal rolled away.

He Knew All About 1t.

About ten years ago, man of New York, of very good character, hired a horse from livery stable to ride out to @ little town about twenty miles distant. Unfortunately. about half way out the horse was taken i'll and died. The livery man sued him for the value of the horse, representing that the horse had been killed by fast riding. One of the young mans witnesses (rather green or SUD- posed to be, and who had a peculiar way of talking very low) was called to the box and questioned thus by the prosecutor : "Are you acquainted with the prisoner at the bar?' "Y-a-a-s" Every slowly drawled out). "How long have you been acquainted with him ?" "About three years" Well, sir, please state to the Court what kind of reputation he bears as regards fast or slow riding on horseback" "W-a-a-l, I suppose if he was riding with company of persons who rode very fast, and he did not want to be left behind, he would ride fast, too. And if he was riding with a con- pany that rode very slow, and he did not want to go ahead, alone, suppose he would ride slow, too." Judge (much enraged): You seem very much in- clined to evade answering questions prop erly. Now, sir, you have stated how the gentleman rides in slow company.

Fifty Years Ago.

No crimes committed in the United Kingdom have ever excited aldeeper hor- TOT than those of the resurrectionists, Burke and Hare, fifty years ago. Burke was an Irish shoemaker who settled in Edinburgh, when the reputation of the medical school there stood exceedingly high. and attracted 8 crowd of students from all parts of the kingdom. Their number thus became largely in excess of the subjects demanded, and gave a stimu!ous to body snatching. This was found by Burke more lucrative and at- tractive than the bench and awl, and having associated himself with one Hare. these two set to work to supply want,
 with much success. Soon, however, the public grew alarmed, furious threats of vengeance were leveled against the snatchers, and it became evident that the business could no longer be carried on safely. Indeed, public feeling ran so high that even the students incurred odium, and it has been said that the late great surgeon, Sir James Ferguson, left Scotland for England to escape annoy ance. Messrs. Burke and Hare there fore turned about for fresh fields and ress,lved to go to work in different manner. They inveigled weak persons or children to their abodes and quietly smothered them. Two or three years ago detective in the north of England cleverly discovered murder by putting his sagacious terrier on the track, and Burke and Hare were brought to justice by means of @ yet smaller animal. It was suspected that one of their victims was little Italian vagrant, who earned pen nies by exhibiting white mice. The de- tective set trap in the murderers' den and sure enough @ white mouse was caught and served to complete the chain of evidence. Burke's body accordingly went, like those of his victims, in aid of anatomical science, but Hare, having turned Kings evidence, escaped and in connection with him may be mentioned 8 curious circumstance. About ten years ago an old man was brought before a London police magistrate on some m1nor charge, when the jailor said, s'I have reason to believe, your Worship, that this man IS Hare, Burke's confederate"

Curing Beef Without Salt.

A San Francisco correspondent says |: Our system of salting meat makes it un- healthy and distasteful. Why do we salt bones Were they extracted one- third the salt would suffice, and meat so cured would lose little of it's nutriment, besides gaining in value. Two-thirds of the smoking might be dispensed with, and one cause of indigestibility greatly lessened. Modern mechanical skill can surely contrive tool to disbone ham, and let the salt have equal access inside and outside. The thick skin might be removed with equal benefit. Custom may claim the shape of the ham as im- portant, but this objection would give way before the great superor1ty of the meat. Farmers would find profit in it for their own household. A boned tur- key is always attractive. When raised far from market, turkey boned and slightly salted and smoked would find ready sale at remunerative price,. The Mexicans cure beef without salt. The first operation is to unbone it. Then it is cut into narrow strips and exposed to the sun until superficial crust is form. ed to exclude the air. A slight smoking keeps insects away. It is usually kept in sacks in dry place, and time does not injure it. It is now suggested that great improvement can be made in cur ing all meats without salt by some adap- tation of the Alden fruit drier. We have seen beef and mutton shredded in- to broad ribbands, two inches thick, and passed through an Alden drier and slightly smoked till strong outer crust was formed. The cured meat was served to sailors on voyage to the Sandwich Islands and back, and was esteemed 8 great luxury compared with the best salted mess beef. Some that was brought back to San Francisco satisfied the ex- perimenters that this mode of curing meat was destined to come into general use

Onions require frequent wedding. Our most successful cultivators find dressing of salt, at the rate of three or four bushels to the acre, applied when the plants are four or five inches high, of benefit. For near market, half grown onions, in punches of twelve to six, according to size, are more profitable than ripe ones.
 Rhu6or6.-Keep the flowers stalks cut off.
 Tomatoes in garden culture should always have some kind of support. Sin. gle plants may be neatly trained by a trellis made with three barrel hoops and three stakes. Whatever support is used, it should be in place early, as when the plants become large enough to fall over they are very manageable.
 SsOeet Herbs should be transplanted from the seed beds, from time to time, to fill vacant places.
 Iurnips of the Ruta-baga sorts may be sown at the last of the month or early next. The "Long French is best for family use, though not large.
 Odds and Eaads.-Insects must always be attended to. The large green "worm" will make quick work with tomato vine hand pick it, for it neither bites nor stings; ditto squash bugs. slaked lime or ashes, or both, should be freely dusted on all young plants of the squash and turnip families. If watering is to be done, do it thoroughly. A mere sprinkling is of little use. Sashes no longer needed for hot-beds or frames should be carefully put away under cover. Straw mats are to be put away, when dry, in dry place.-Agricultur- est for June.

Allied Enemies to Health.

In many of the fairest and most fertile dis tricts of North and Tropical America, air and water are allied enemies to health, both being impregnated with the poisonous maaisnaatd which produce chills and fever, bilious remit tents, and febrile disorders of still more ma ignant type. Fortunately, sure preventive and curative of such destructive maladies is to be found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a vegetable preparation which is infinitely to be preferred, both on account of it's efficacy and freedom from all hurtful properties, to the the pharmacopea. It is moreover, the reigning specific for dyspepsia, debility. constipation, urinary troubles, rheumatism and nervousness, promotes appetite and sleep, and is a capital antidote to depression of spirits.

A SERIOUS CRnE.-At 8 meeting of fire insurance men in Syracuse gentle man made the startling assertion that one-half the fires in this country are the work of incendiaries, and his hearers, all of them experts, concurred in that opin- ion. If this be true-and the fire in- surance men ought to be excellent au- thority on the subject-district attorneys and criminal judges should show no mercy to culprits convicted of arson. Arson is horrible crime, for, aside from the destruction of property to which it leads, it endangers, in many instances, the lives of numerous persons.

Over one hundred houses were totally destroyed and the loss of property. is $25O, 900. Whole blocks were completely swept away, and the debris was scattered for miles. The storm came from the south west, passed to the northeast and was preceded by heavy fall of rain. Trees were uprooted and carried through the air like feathers, as were the fragments of houses and, in fact, everything the storm struck. The Shaw House, a large brick hotel, was demolished and it's in- mates buried in the ruins. Ten persons were instantly killed and several were mortally injured. A score of persons in addition received serious injuries. Among them were many women and chil- dren. ....@'-.-*

Serious Naval Disasters.

The disaster to the German iron-clad fleet in the English Channel, with its at tendant loss of life, recalls other incl dents of like nature. Wooden vessels sink less easily and more. time is given for those on board the wrecks to save their lives. .| ....&
 The two most memorable accidents to iron-clad naval vessels are those of the sinking of the frigate Captain in gale of wind and heavy sea in the Bay of Bis cay, and of the frigate Vanguard by being run into by the frigate Iron Duke. All but eighteen of the 500 officers and seamen on board the Captain were lost. The Vanguard crew was more fortunate, as they were all saved.
 The loss of life on the Grosser Kur- furst compares in. horror with that by other similar disasters heretofore re- ported. By the sinking of the British frigate Royal George, off Spithead, in 1872, Admiral Kempenfeldt and 600 men were drowned. The British frigates St. George and Defense were wrecked off the coast of Jutland, in 1911, involving together loss of 2,0OO lives. The Brit ish troop-ship Birkenhead struck upon pointed pinnacle rock off Simon's Bay, near Cape Town, Africa, on Feb. 26, 1852, and 454 of the crew and soldiers perished. The British troop ship Lady Nugent foundered in hurricane ill May, 1854, and 400 lives were lost. The boiler of the Austrian man-of-war Radetzky exploded on Feb. 20, 1869, in the Adri- atic Sea, and 342 lives were lost. The United States steamer Oneida was run down by the British steamer Bombay, in the Japan Sea, in January, 1870, and 115 officers and men were lost. The British turret-ship Captain foundered near Cape Finistere, France, on Sept 7, 1870, and 800 lives were lost, includ- ing Capt. Cowles, the designer of the vessel. On Nov. 25, 1877, the United States steamer Huron was wrecked on the coast of North Carolina, and 104 lives were lost. The last disaster of the kind was the laundering of the British troop-ship Eurydice, off the Isle of Wight, on March "A of this year, and the loss of over 300 ives.. ....

 But the incantations and practices of the fetich women, of whom there were several, had the most attraction for the curious. Fetichism disappeared with the scattering of the colony, and I doubt if one of the present generation knows anything about it.
