Light Fingered Gentry.

The police have made raid on the
light fingered gentry, who have been
dong such lively stealing in petty
way of late. Buggy robes, whips,
overooats, boots, and all kinds of
clothing, and on Saturday night,
from Day & Co.'s store, blankets. are
their stock in trade As stated, two
fellows we're arrested late on Satur-
day night at the Overland House on
charge of stealing the blankets.
their names being l. Mollony and
Wa. DeGnis. On Monday, Mr.
Davis identified them as the persons
with whom be had the scuffls on
Saturday night when he had nsbbed
the thief n ho had stolen his blankets.
They will be tried io-dsy. Five more
OF the same gang have been arrested,
their names being given as w. Ryan,
". jenkins, John Jones, Geo. Thorn
con and Fred. 7. Smith. When they
came to the city, they were al poorly
dressed and they now sport good
clothing. 1t would be good idea
for persons who have lost clothing to
go 10 T. g City Hall and see if they
cannot discover their missing apparel
on these lght-fpgered persons. The
five lsst named are arrested for
vagrancy.

WORDS OF WISDOM.
When there is room in the heart there
IS ALWAYS room in the house.

When there is room in the heart there
is always room in the house.
Give what you have. To some n ii
may be better than you dare to think.
Women do not t~ransgress the bounds
of decorum as often as men, but when
they do they go greater lengths.
No good man is doubted or per-
secuted except by those who are con-
demned by his good spirit and deeds.
When you can say of a nan that his
religion has got hold Of his pocket
book, you may be reasonably sure that
his religion is the right kind.
Pleasure is to women what the sun is
to flowers /; if moderately enjoyed it
beauties, it refreshes, and it improves ;
ifimmoderately, it withers and destroys.
All the good things Of this world are
Of no further good to us than as they
are of use and whatever We may heap
up to give to others, we enjoy only as
we can use, and no more.
Happiness is a roadside flower, grow
ing on the highways of usefulness ;
plucked, it shall wither in thy hand
passed by, it is fragrance to thy spirit.
Trample the thyme beneath thy feet |;
be useful be happy.

SIMON PURE LEMONADR.-Take thin
skinned lemons; roll them on the table
until very soft (; slice very thin with a
sharp knife into a large pitcher, averag-
ing n lemon to a person, thus allow
ing them two glasses apiece. Pat in
the pitcher with the sliced lemon a cup
of white sugar to five lemons Tor more
if you want it sweeter) and pound all
we'll together with a potato masher put
in a lump of ice; let it stand a few
minutes and fill the pitcher with ice
water. This makes lemonade that is
lemonade, and the peel in the pitcher is
delicious.
GossAMER One cup Of
butter, one cup of sugar, well worked,
n cup of milk, three cups of -four,
n tablespoonful of ginger. Have tin
sheets well rubbed with lard. Drop one
tablespoonful of the mixture upon the
tins and spread it as thin as possible on
the sheets with a thin bladed knife.
Bake in a well but not overheated oven.
When the tins are removed from the
oven the cake should at once be cut into
such forms as desired. The cakes should
be removed from the tins before they
get cold.

Precious Metals In a Sewer.

On the Juniper street side of the
Mint is a small three-feet sewer which
carries off the drainage from the roof
and boilers of the coin-making estab-
lishment and empties into a main sewer
on Market street, A heavy fagstone,
securely edged in with brickwork, forms
a trap at the entrance, the trap being
intended to prevent thieves from max
lug their way throughth Market street
sewer. There is a certain percentage
of waste in the coinage of gold and
silver metals, for which the government
allows the coiners and smelters a mar
gin, and there is a general desire on the
part of the officials to keep this margin
as low as possible. A few days ago it
occurred to Chief Engineer John i.
McGinnis hat in the sewer, which had
not been cleaned for nineteen years,
something of value might be found.
Accordingly q force Of men were de-
tailed for this job. At the Juniper
street opening the sewer was so hot that
the masons could stay down but a few
moments at q time. When the heat had
abated men were sent down at the
Juniper and Market street entrances,
furnished with small boxes, which were
drawn up as fast as filed with dirt. Two
days and a night were occupied in this
task. Then the precious metals were
extracted by a process which consisted
in drying the dirt and thoroughly pull
verifying it by placing it under a pair of
chases with a pressure of 2,700 tons,
then putting it through washing ma
chimes, and finally securing the precious
metals by means Of mercury, The re-
suit showed that the find footed up six
ounces and thirty-four one-hundredths
Of standard gold, and twenty-one ounces
and twenty-one one-hundredths Of
standard silver, or q total equal to
$143.85. The last cleaning out yielded
$2I,0 600 worth of gold and silver waste.
It is now proposed to catch the deposits
by digging four wells, one at each cor
ner of the building, and to run a pipe
from the roof half way into the wells
and catch the overflow.

hihih thNtI bittu SEOpNs
The vegetable kingdom is made up
almost entirely Of the four clements
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen.
How does the plant obtain them?
Plant-food, to be available, must be in
a liquid or gaseous form, not solid /;
hence no food can be obtained from the
soil unless through the agency of SOM
other element. Carbon is derived from
the carbonic acid of the atmosphere,
principally throughthe leaves, which de-
compose the carbonic acid, appropria-
ting the carbon to the building up and
nourishment of the plant, and setting
free the oxygen for the respiration of
animals. The carbon, a slight proper
tion of which is carried into the soil by
rains, ETC., and taken up by the roots of
the plant, is valuable chiefly as an alb
sorbent Of nitrogen, the Importance of
which to vegetable life is we'll known.
In the compound of ammonia the nitro
gen is absored and held by the carbon
Of the soil-hence by turning under
green crops we gain not only the plant
food added to the soil-averaging about
nineteen times the amount taken away
but by incorporating carbon in the soil
we provide o way to retain the volatile
ammonia for the future use of the
plant.
The plant does not derive all its
food, or even the greater part of it, from
the soil, which is demonstrated by
propositions so nearly self-evident as
nearly to meet the ~appellation Of
axioms. The soil is mineral, for it is
produced by the disintegration of
rocks. Now, if the plant derived all its
food from the soil it would be mineral
and nothing else. There would be no

mineral Kingdoms. But instead of this,
the vegetable kingdom takes its carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen from

Another advantage of turning under
