Of by day made an ex pertinent, with
the following results: He transp planted
ten cherry trees while in bloom, COM
menc'ng at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
These transplanted during daylight shed
tthelr:bl;ossssoms, producing little or no
fruit, while those transplanted in the
dark maintained their condition fully.
He did the same with ten dwarf trees
after the fruit was one-third grown.
Those transplanted during the day shed
their fruit; those transplanted during
the night perfected the crop and show
ed no injury from having been removed.
With each Of these trees he removed
SOME earth with the roots. The Incl
dent is fully vouched for, and if few
similar experiments produce a like re-
suit, it will be a strong argument to hor-

The Richness of Kashmir.

A Teacher of POcketpicking.

Twenty years ago Chester established
a school in Condor dedicated to the de-
voices of St. Nicholas, and he speedily
obtained many pupils. The most we'll
known and skillful pickpockets who
have paid the penalty of being caught
and those who were clever enough to
evade the clutches OF the law, have all
been nodded according tn the Chesterian
method. And when it is stated that in
twenty years that Chester has been able
to amass fortune of $4,000, the great
importance and efficacy of his lessons
will be thoroughly appreciated. His
pupils, on leaving his institution, were
formed into bands of ten under the
guidance of a "schoolmaster," and it
was under the aegis Of this ever-watch-
full guardian that they overran the earth.
Two-thirds Of the "profts were faithful
ly and punctually paid to the iilustrious
professor: Chester demeaned himself
but twice in his career by working"
personally. It was in Paris during the
two last exhibitions, In 1878 he was
arrested and condemned to six months
imprisonment, and he was moreover
prohibited from ever entering France
again. He has since disposed of the
good will of his "business" to two of his
best pupils and retired to Birmingham,
where he has a great deal of property.
Having some very urgent affairs to set
tie in Paris, he applied few dnys ago
for permission 20 pass few days in this
capital which has been Only accorded
him. But as it was deemed unadvisable
to allow a man of his capacity to roam
about the city without let or hindrance,
two police agents have been told off to
act as an escort of surveillance. Chester
is IS years old, and is the father often
children, whom he has educated in
princely manner, and he himself is the
master of several languages.

Pure Milk.

The difficulties to be surmounted to
enable one to furnish city custom ers
with pure, rich, sweet and healthy milk
are much more numerous than is gen
orally supposed. Many have an idea
that if milk fresh from the COW can be
delivered at the door Of the custom er
untampered with, it must be good when
it reaches the table; but unless all of the
conditions are right it may be entirely
unsatisfactory.
To have good milk it is necessary to
have good COWS; not those that give the
largest quantity of milk, but those that
give a fair quantity of milk that is not
much better than skim milk may be
eagerly sought for by the producer, but
her milk. will never give satisfaction to
the consumer, and will always be looked
upon with suspicion. But one may
possess the very best herd of COWS in the
country, and yet SO treat them that
their milk will be poor. Unless COWS
are fed with good, sweet, nutritious food
it would be folly to suppose that their
milk will be good, and the best COWS
will still furnish milk of an undesirable
quality unless great care is taken to
keep them perfectly clean, and also
particular attention paid to the keeping
of the barn clean and free from objec-
tiopable odors, and of vessels sweet and
clean; for there are but few, if any,
liquids that will absorb bad odors
SO readily as milk. This is we'll under
stood by those who make the giltedge
butter, and no pains or expense is
spared by them to keep everything
about the barn and dairy perfectly
sweet and clean.
Having surmounted all the difficulties
in the way of producing good milk,
there are yet other difficulties to be re-
moved before it reaches the table of
the consumer. A considerable portion
of the milk consumed in the cities
passes through the hands of the mid
dle-men, who, whether honest or not,
have somehow got into bad repute, and
are looked upon both by the producer
and consumer with suspicion; so the
farmer, feeling assured that his milk is
to be watered, is not always as careful
to turn all the water out of the cans be-
fore he fills them with milk as he
would be if he felt positive that it
would reach the consumer without be-
ing reduced; and occasionally servant
knowing that her mistress believes the
milk is patered, satisfies her thirst with
the fresh milk and makes up the defic-
iency with water.-jHassachuse Plouqh-

How the Tiger Hides.
Sport and Work .

George was after fine male tiger. He
was followed up fast, but coming to a
broad mullah full Of water he suddenly
lost sight of his game. He looked up
and down the bank, and, and on the OPP
posite bank. but could see no traces of
the tiger. Looking down he saw in the
water what he first took to be large
bullfrog. There was not ripple on the
placid, stagnant surface of the pool. He
marvelled much, and just then his
mahout pointed to the supposed bull
frog, and in an excited whisper implor-
ed George to fire. A keen look con-
vinced George that it really was the
tiger. It was totally immersed, all but
the face, and lying SO still that not the
faintest motion or ripple was per-
ceptible. He fired and inflicted terri
pie wound, The tiger bounded madly
forward, and George gave it its quietus
through the spine. A nearly similar
case occurred to old Mr.. G. A tiger bolt
ed toward a small tank or pond, and
though the the line followed up in hot
pursuit the brute disappeared. Old c.,
keener than the others, was 10th to give
up the pursuit. and presently discover
ed a yellowish reflection in the clear
water. Peering more intently, he could
discover the yellowish tawny outline of
the cunning animal, totally immersed
in the water, save its eyes, ears and
nose. He shot the tiger dead, and it
sank to the bottom like stone. So
perfectly had it concealed itself that the
other sportsmcn could not for the life of
them imagine what old C. had fired at
till the mahout got down and began to
haul the dead animal out of the water.

Unpleasant Experiences of ''Pinafore''
Company in Colorado.

Mr.. Haverly's Chicago 'Pinafore"
troupe has just passed through a most
unpleasant experience after a most
prosperous season. After profitable
engagement at Leadville, which is a
sort of theatrical Ell Dorado, they I'M
dertook to reach Georgetown by way of
the Loveland pass. The snow on either
side Of the coach road was about twen-
ty feet deep, and their wagons were re-
peatedly upset, the result being the
constant and promiscuous imme rsion
of tenors, sopranos, altos and bassos.
On the first day they made fifteen miles
in twelve hours. The men tried their
luck on foot, and the glare of the sun
blistered their faces terribly, although
they wore double wells. On one occa-
sion a free and enlightened but drunken
citizen introduced himself into one of
the wagons with a loaded revolver and
drove the legitimate occupants out at
the mouth of the weapon. Fortunate
ly the driver was a practical man. He
knocked the. intruder into the snow
with the butt-end of his whip and sat on
his head, reducing him to immediate
subsection by; this summary, process.
The party finally reached their destina-
ton after three days trip, too late for
their engagement, half furnished and
utterly worn out. Two of the party lost
their lives, but they were mules.

Pampoor, about eight miles from the
capital, Srinagar, and advantage has
been taken of the fact for ages past to
cultivate there the Crocus Sativus, the
stamens of whose flowers, known as
saffron, is not only chief article of
commerce, but yields {: large revenue
to the government. How ancient is the
cultivation may be inferred from the
current traditions which have been en-
bodied in the native histories Of Kash-
mir, that when the armies of Alexander
invaded the country the soldiers were
lost in admiration at the extensive beds
Of the beautiful and delicately-tinted
purple florple flowers which lay spread
out before them.

then a few years old, in care of her
father, William Hollis, and departed for
the far west in search of a fortune.

Last week Josiah, the deceased's first

appearance in Isabel in search of his
wife and son, whom he supposed were
still living, and was greatly grieved to
find that his wife had been married
again and was dead. His son, who was
attending school at Bloomington, was
summoned, and his surprise can better
be imagined than described on meeting
his long-lost father. Mr.. Bouser has ac-

BARRIERS and Shaving.

The idea that shaving is duty cere~
monlal, as among the Egyptian priests,
or social merely, as among ourselves
IS older than the invention of steel or
even of bronze razors. Nothing is more
remarkable in savage life than the
resolution of the braves who shave with
a shell or with a broken piece of glass.
left by European mariners. A warrior
VII! throw himself on the ground, and
while one friend holds his arms and
prevents him from struggling, another
will scrape his chin with the shell or
the broken bottle glass till he rises
bleeding but beardless. Macaulay. it
seems, must have shaved almost as
badly with the razor of modern life.
When he went to a barber. and. after
an easy shave, asked what he owed. the
fellow replied: Just what you general
ly give the man who shaves YOU. ST." 7
generally give him two cuts on the
cheek" said the historian of England
Shaving requires combination of
qualities which rarely meet in one
amateur.
You should have plenty of razols, un-
like Russian ambassador Of the stingy
Frederick. This ambassador. accord
ing to Voltaire, cut his throat with the
only razor he possessed. The chin Of
that dlplomatist must have been un-
worthy alike of the court to which he
was accredited and of that
from which he came. The ex-
qulslte shaver who would face the
world with a smooth chin REQUIRES
many razors, many strops, many brush
es, old soaps, a light steady hand, and,
perhaps, a certain gayety of temper.
which prevents edged weapons from
offering unholy temptations. Perhaps
the shaver is born, not made. like the
poet; certainly many men are born
with an inability toshave. Here comes
the need for the kindly race of BARRIERS.
a race dear to literature. The energy
OF the British character, our zeal for in
dlvldual enterprise, makes us self.
shaving race; the Latin people are
economical, but they do not grudge paw
ing for an easy shave Americans in
this matter are more continental than
English people are in their taste. Was
1t not IN Marseilles that his friends in
duced Mark Twain to be shaved by a
barber worthy of the bottle-glass or sea-
shell stage of his profession? They
pretended that his performances were
equal to those of the barber on board
the ship that brought them from Amer
lea.
Englishmen as a rule shave them
selves when they do not wear boards.
Razors are like Scotch sheep-dogs:
no one would keep a bad one, or sell or
give away a good one. No razor should
be condemned till it has been "strop-
ped" we'll and carefully. Some say that
soldiers old buff belts make the best
strops. The Scotch peasantrS use a pc
culiar hard smooth fungus which grows
in decaying elm trees.

Seventeen Year LOcusts.

The seventeen-yer locust is filling
the hills and rich bottom-lands of West
ern Pennsylvania and Virginia with its
droning thunder, which is almost deaf
ening at noon on a sunny day. The
farmers have plenty of reasonable
theories to account for its mysterious
appearance and long absence. 1t has,
they say, to make a journey to China
and back, which takes eight years each
way; or, it is a part of the Egyptian host,
lost in the Red sea, which still live in
some neither world, but are allowed
every seventeen years to revisit these
glimpses of the moon, and cry on Phar-
a-oh! Pharaoh! to arouse the remorse of
their buried leader; or, it comes to fore
tell war, as may be seen by the most in
crudulous in the w on it's wing. But
the sole outcome of all these impending
disasters will be a downfall of dead limbs
in August.
This locust eats neither fruit nor vcge-
table, so far as can be discovered; tt sim
ply riddles the green new wood of the
tappering limbs Of trees to deposit its
eggs. If these branches are burned
and the ground plowed up our visitor
will be longer in making his journey
! from China or the Red Sea.
