A Noble Lords Little Joke.

Some time ago at Lord Sherbrooke's
town house the butler caught strange
man hiding in store closet between the
hours of nine and ten p. M, evidently
with burglarious intent. Taking him
to Viscount Sherbrooke, who was in his
study, the butler asked whether he
should fetch policeman. Certainly"
said his lordship; 'or rather, you need
not trouble; will ring for onen' and SO
saying, he rang the bell. Buttons ap-
pearing, his lordship said gravely,
William, 60 into the Kitchen and tell a
policeman or two to come up" Getting
no answer to his puzzled and amazed
look, the boy went, only to return in
few moments to say that there was no
constable on the premises. what"
exclaimed his lordship; you mean to
tell that, with plain cook and three
housemaids in my employ, there is nota
single policeman in my Kitchen! 1t is a
miracle, and our prisoner shall reap the
benefit of it. Butler, let the man goin-

The treatment required for the disease

Spinach.

Of all the variety of growths that can
be utilized as greens" there is nothing
which has gained and kept the place of
spinach. Planted in the spring as early
as the snow is off and the ground can be
worked, it natures a crop in from six to
eight weeks; it can be cut Immediately
and give place to other crops. For these
reasons it is desirable crop to raise. 1t
~~n1ulreS SOIL naturally fertile, and one
that has been thoroughly MANFRED for at
least three consecutive years, and should
have heavy coat of manure soaked into
the soil before sowing. The seed should
be planted thickly in rows, one foot
apart; should be hoed and kept clear of
weeds till large enough to gather, which
is best done by cutting the plant off just
below the ground with knife or hoe.
taking care not to cut so high as to cut
the plant in two. The root does not
sprout the second time. The "Savoy
Leaved," is a good kind to plant. having
thick leaf and growing to good size.
The prickly seeded spinach is no longer
planted in this vicinity by gardeners,
as the round seeded varieties have
proved to be equal if not superior
in all respects. Spinach planted in
succession every two weeks will give
crop till the first week in
July, when early cabbages and other
vegetables take its place on the table and
in the market. The hot weather is I'M
favorable to its growth, as it has a ten
dency to run up to seed in the hot months.
Later, the seed can be sown for fall and
winter, beginning the first of August,
the last planting being about September
ID. Seed sown after that time will not
always make sufficiently strong and
vigorous plant to withstand the winter.
Spinach covered lightly when the first
snow comes, with poor hay, cornstalks,
straw, leaves, or better still with hem
lock boughs, will keep green and be
ready to cut at any time when the snow
leaves the ground and the thaw has
lossened the top soil so a knife can be
got under the plant 1t is the most popu-
lar market greens known, and by care
and management can be had continu-
ously through the market season. and
can be even cut and slowed so that a
supply can be had while the snow is upon
the ground, as it will keep from four to
eight weeks in cellar where a tempera-
ture between thirty-two or forty degrees
can be maintained.
The profits of the crop vary, but as it
is salable in large quantities, and in case
OF failure the land can be Immediately
planted to some other crop, the risk is
trifing.--COr. Germant0t0n Telegraph.

Clever Thieves.

Really Partisan thieves are adroit
creatures and full of invention. The
other day the police arrested precious
trio who have been making a comforta-
BILE living for some months past out OF
the large dry goods stores of Paris in the
following fashion: The party included an
elderly, well dressed man, with the red
ribbon of the Legion of Honor at his but
tonhole, a middle-aged lady and young
one, the two last being irreproachable
as to manners and toilet. The maodus
operandi adopted by the trio was as fol-
lows: They would go to one of the large
crowded shops, and, on entering, the
gentleman would take the principal SUI
perintendent aside, and would say to
him confidentially: "Be so good as to
have special watch kept over my wife.
She is kleptomaniac, and if she pur-
loins anything say nothing whatever
about it, but Just charge the articles and
will pay the bill" This arrangement
fixed the eyes of all the watchers on the
elder woman, who would help herself
from time to time to some inexpensive
trife, while the actions of the younger
one passed unnoticed. That cunning
damsel would secrete about her person
remnants of costly lace, handsome fans,
packets of gloves and other objects, get
ting off with her booty unsupported.
Grown careless by success, she was seen
in the act of pocketing piece of valua-
BILE lace the other day. The whole party
was arrested and their neat little plan OF
action was exposed. Lucy II. Hooper.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

An easy method of sailing stock is
to place large lump of rock salt at diff
ferent locations, to which the stock can
resort whenever desired. 1t can also be
placed in the troughs of the stables to
good advantage.
"A good COW has full eye, a small
and short head, dished in the face and
sunken between the eyes, a soft and
loose skin, deep from the loin to the I'D

Renting almost invariably depreci-
ates farm, and must be fatal to profta-
BILE farming. The only successful farm
ing, with our present costly labor, is on
productive land. Poor crops do not pay
for the labor. The best income of the
farm is from the improvement of its pro-
ductive power, and the net profit of it
will increase in greater proportion even
than its product Increases.
"A quit-claim deed is imperfect, as it
does not warrant the title. A person
may give quit-claim to piece of land
he does not own, because he simply con-
veys whatever title he may claim to

with less than a full warantee deed. 1t

Cottage Cheese: Wherever COW
or cows are kept, the cream is regarded
as the important part of the milk, while
the skim milk goes to the pigs or the
poultry. OF course it is thus utilized
and ultimately comes around as food,
but it may be better to make a more di-
rect use of it. The skim milk contains
valuable portion of that most nutritious
food; in taking the cream, only part
of the nutriment is removed. The skim
milk is allowed to become slightly sour
or ''clabbered." The pan is then set
upon cool part of the stove to warm
gently, or upon the top of a kettle of
boiling water. 1t should getno warmer
than the heat of new milk, when the
whey will appear clear and separate
from the curd. When separation takes
place pour the whole into a bag of thin
material, and hang to drain. When it
ceases to drip, turn the curd from the
bag and mix with salt and little sweet
cream.-America'a AgricuturiSt.

The pastor of the Brick church, Of
this city, Dr. Bevan, intends to return to
London, from whence he came five years
ago, for reason which will generally
surprise the American people. He finds
that, in America, orthodox ministers are
expected to confine themselves TO their
churches and congregations, and not to
NEEDLE with politics or public affairs. In
England a clergyman can be justice of
the peace, he can serve on school boards
and there is no improperly in making
known his partiality for or dislike of a
political party or a noted statesman.-M

as to disturb the digestive system and to
render that much abused organ. the
stomach, incapable of performing its
proper functions. This may be especially
noticed at sanitariums and places where
the better class of invalids congre-
gate. When these people appear at
the breakfast table it is to salute each
other with questions as to the miseries
of the night and the woes of the morn-
ing. They discuss their symptoms and
tell their experience about their all
ments until they have effectually taken
away each others appetite. The same
evil is seen, only not to such an exagger-
ated extent, in many boarding houses
and private families.
The breakfast table is not dissecting
room where peoples inte.iors can be
laid out for mutual examination and
comparison. 1t is not field for medical
discussions or lectures on catarrh, con-
sumption or indigestion. Nor is it the
place for conversation on the horrors of
the night or the anticipated miseries Of
the day. Those who want to make the
most of their breakfast and have others
enjoy it with them make no illusion to
the stomach or its functions or to the
processes of indigestion in the human
system, or to bad dreams, or to decayed
teeth. They will talk cheerfully, lightly,
joyfully. And thus every breakfast will
be to them bonanza.
