HUMAN BEASTS OF PREY.

The extravagant philanthropists who
insist on regarding tramps as poor and
honest workmen who are Idle simply
because they can find nothing to do,
have only to read the account of the
de%predations committed by some of the
thieves and murderers commonly
known as tramps in Kean county,
Pennsylvania, to have their folly star
tied into common sense. Two Of these
fellows, a few days ago, entered a drug
store in Ripley village, and ordered the
clerk to ill a flask with liquor, but
were covered by the clerks revolver
and retreated.
Three others were waiting for them,
and all 1--WE went to a saloon, overpow-
cred the inmates, helped themselves to
all the liquors they wanted, and then
went into the street and amused them
selves firing at people and children with
pistols, until they were hunted down
by the sheriff and citizens, and one
killed, after holding possession of the
town for one hour.
Some other tramps put two freight
cars of a switch on the main track of
the New York and Philadelphia rail-
road north Of Clean, with the brakes
down, and wrecked a passenger train,
evidently with the purpose of plumber.
Others broke into the Office of an OIL
well machinery dealer during the noon
hour, and stole a large quantity of val
uables. Three of the r~ascals, who had
been housed and fed for several days by
a farmer and his wife, took a bureau
out of their bedroom one night, and
carried 1t into a field, and there broke
it open and extracted a large sum Of
money. The people in that part of the
country are naturally alarmed, as it
seems to be overrun with tramps, and
fears are entertained in Bradford that
a plan is on foot to burn and sack the
whole town at once. Can nothing be
done to rid the country of these pauper
banditti?

An INCOME WITHOUT CARE.

BY the combination method of operat-
ing In stocks a handsome income can
be secured without care. Capital in
any amount, from $40 to $50, may
be used with equal proportionate sue
cess. BY this system Messrs. Law
renee & Co., Bankers, N. Y, pool the
orders of thousands of customers, Of
various sums, into one vast amount,
and cooperate them under the most
skillful management, dividing profits
monthly. Each shareholder thus OBJ
tains all the advantages of the largest
capital and experienced skill, and the
percentage OF profits is very great; $50
will pay 300 in 80 days; $3.50 will re-
turn Sl,S25, or Taper cent, on the stock,

GREAT ExerxEEnrxc WORK

From Jersey City to New York, by
rail, will be an accomplished fact by the
end OF two years from this date, says
the New York Mail, If the Hudson
river tunnel company is not interfered
with in its work. The aldermen have
not yet decided at exactly what spot the
tunnel shall terminate, but it will be in
the vicinity of Broadway and Blocker
streets, while the other end will be at
Jersey avenue and Fifteenth street,
Jersey City. The particulars of the
plan of the tunnel have already been
Published, and they are such as
to merit the confidence of the public
in the gentlemen who are carrying out
this great Improvement. The shaft
sunk in Jersey City is nearly completed,
pumps being found necessary to keep
out water. A similar shaft is to be
sunk at the foot of Monroe street, on
the New York side, and when this Is
done work will be going on at four
points at once, night and day. From
its beginning the tunnel is to extend to
the Hudson, about 3,400 feet, thence
under the river, curving FIVE degrees
northward to the New York bulk-head
line, at or near the foot of Morton
street, about 5,400 feet; thence curving
slightly southwark about 5000 feet, to
a point to be selected by the New York
board of aldermen. The entire length
of the tunnel and its approaches will be
about 1900 feet, or about one mile I'M
der the river and about three-fourths
Of a mile on each shore.
The result will be a great convent
ence for passengers, who will not be
obliged to leave the cars until they find
themselves in New York, and the ben
eft to the railroad companies in the
transportation of freight will be almost
i~ncalculable, as all will use the tunnel
ut equable rates, and more than four
hundred trains a day will pass through
it. using signals instead of whistles and
bells, and drawn by pneumatic engines
or those consuming their own smoke.
Every addition to our terminal facili-
ties is of advantage to the railroads and
of great benefit to the city. A single

brought out by the investigation now
in progress, shows under what difficult

How Often to Feed Horses.

A year or so ago we remember to have
read an account of New York truckman
who was experimenting in reducing the num-
ber of times per day that he fed his horses.
The animals were worked hard, but the
owner omitted giving them their noon meal
altogether. The horses left the stable at Z
o'clock in the morning, and were returned at
half past six in the evening, thus going about
twelve hours without feeding. The amount
of oats morning and evening was increased !;
though the aggregate feed per day was on an
average about two quarts less than when the
same horses were fed three times. The
owner found that the horses did more work,
were healthier and more thrifty than before.
The horses had the best care and grooming,
of course.
The result is probably due to the fact that,
according to long known principle in
physiology, violent exercise Immediately
after hearty meal impedes digestion, es-
pecially if the meal be taken after the ex-
haustive labor of the forenoon.
If any of our readers are to try the ex-
pertinent they should begin by gradually re.
ducing the noon meal, and when entirely
withheld, they must still give the horse the
usual rest at noon.-Farmer's Rsvieao.

l~~~SSs~~~~@SSS~
The scorching sun and drying winds in New
England during the summer months render it
necessary to water choice plants, small fruits
and recently transplanted shrubs and trees,
whenever the ground begins to dry for the
want of frequent rains. TO water plants
seems to be such simple process that few
give the subject moments thought after pur-
chasing the water-pots; yet no intelligent
person who has given the subject careful at
tentien, and observed the usual method adopt
ed, can come to any other conclusion than
that much OF the time spent in watering plants
is worse than wasted in fact, that many
plants are dried up by watering.
Two gallons of cold water sprinkled over
twenty or thirty plants when they are hot,
and when the ground IS hot, assists nature in
drying up the plants; it does it in two ways;
first, the sudden dash of cold water on the hot
leaves checks the growth of the plant, and
thus stops the downward progress of the roots
which in dry weather seek for moisture; Sec
ond, because the slight sprinkling of the
ground forms crust out of the finely pulver-
lied soil, and thus not only destroys what
would have acted as a mulch and new con-
ductor to keep the heat from penetrating to
the roots of the plants, but, by its compact
form, the crut acts as good conductor of
heat to the roots of the plants, and conveys to
them heat in such quantities that they are
dried up more than they would have been if
no water had been applied.
To know when to commence to water
plants, how often to water, and the quantity
to be applied, requires good judgment, care
full observation and long experience. Soils
differ so much that it seems to be necessary
for each cultivator to establish rules of his
own, such as his experience teaches him are
best adapted to his particular location, soil
and crops. This subject of watering plants
is an important one, and one that should re-
ceive much more attention than is usually
given il.
