APPLEs FOR HOGs.-There is, perhaps, no veg
etable grown that is more nutritious and health
full for hogs than apples. The pulp of the apple
contains n large amount of saccharine matter,
one of the fat producing elements. While at the
same time, the acids of the fruit destroy and aid
in expelling intestinal parasites and worms that
infest the intestines of the young growing hogs,
especially at this season of the year. 1t is good
plan to turn into the orchard, once or twice per
week, all of the hogs, old and young, that they
may consume all of the inferior fruit which
otherwise would go TO waste. If is not convc-
nient to do this, gather daily all of the surplus
and inferior apples and dispose of them to your
hogs, and you will be amply repaid for your
trOuble.-K., in Spirit Of Kansas.

IT is not generally known that milk is not
only good solvent Of quinine, but that it also
disguises its bitterness. writer in a medical
Journal states that if one grain of the sulphate
be dissolved in an ounce of milk the solution is
scarcely percePtibly bitter. dose of five grains
may be taken in two onnees of milk without
rendering it unpleasant, and if taken in tum-
blerfnl of milk the bitterness disappears. An
mother surgeon recommends the use of n solution
of quiuine in glycerine, in the proportion of one
grain to one drachm, the dose to be taken in n
wine glassful of milk.

luxurious WALL PArER.-Professor Bernbech,
writing to the Medical Press, calls attention to
the probable danger arising from the Use of ultra
marine wall papers. He states that a room hung
with an nltra-marine cOlOred paper gave most
disagreeable smell of sulphuretted hydrogen,
the source of which for some time escaped detec-
ton. Eventually, however, n close examination
was made of the paper, which led to the concln-
sion that the deep blue wall paper was slowly
undergoing a process of decomposition under
the influence of the alum in the paste used in the
hanging. This appeared to be confirmed, for on
sleeping piece of paper in very dilute solution
of alum it gave off sufficient sulphuretted hydro
gen to be quite perceptible to the nose, and to
blacken lead paper.

consequence. Such an evil is usually indicated
by dry lichens which feed on the decaying bark.
In these cases, says the Gardener Monthly, Il
washing of weak Iye OF of lime water, is very
useful; indeed, where the bark is healthy, it is
beneficial thus to wash trees, many eggs Of
insects are thereby destroyed We would, how
ever again refer to linseed oil a wash, far
more effective for insects and it would, perhaps,
do as well for moss and lichenS. After all, these
seldom come when trees are well cultivated IL
is neglect that makes poor growth, and it is poor
growth that makes lichens.

To HAVE LARGE CURRANTs.-The HOrticHitar-
lists directs that currants he pruned in winter,
MANFRED in autumn, every alternate year, and
soil be kept clean and mellow till after bearing.
To which we may add that if all old wood is
kept cut away, and young shoots constantly
springing in its place, something like the re-
newal system of pruning grapes, but not so close,
good cultivation will give heavy crops of fine,
large currants from the same bushes for life

Last week Mrs. Emma +. Morgan, of lGl Adel-
phi street, while visiting BnnnelPs Museum on
Washington street, was surprised TO see her own
net eat on exhibition. The feline in question
was n very large yellow and white cat, and an
swered to the name Of "Pete." Mrs. Morgan
notified the police, and Officer Shaughnessey, of
the Fourth Precinct, recovered the eat and ar
rested John Hanna, of pa Gold Street, the boy
who, il was alleged, brought the eat TO the Mu-
senm.
This morning the case was tried by Justice
Courtney Mrs. Morgan, with number of lady
friends were present, as was also "Pete." Mrs.
Morgan positively identified the cat as hers, and
said it had been around the globe several times.
On behalf Of the defense Mrs. Schroeder, who
lives in the same house with Hanna, the prisoner,
testified that the cat was hers. She pointed out
several marks about the cat by which she identi-
fed it. A cut ON the left side of the upper lip
marks named, and they correspondent exactly
with similar marks on ''Pete."
The Justice then asked the witness, "What
was the of your cat"
Witness-"Mine was female cat; has had
kittens, and is soon TO have some more
Justice COurtney-'Well, madame, the Court
has made careful investigation of this matter,
and has come to the conclusion that this is not
that kind Of cat"
The witness was dHmbfounded at the eruditiOn
of the Court, and although she was inclined to
differ with the learned Judge she at last yielded,
and concluded that she had no more testimony
to offer.
TheJudge found the prisoner guilty of stealing
the cat and suspended ENTHUSIASTICALLY Times.
