Pepper. Pure and Adulterated.

Pepper, when freshly ground. has an
appetizing, fragrant smell and taste, that
the best store article rarely approaches.
Black and white pepper are from the
same berry, the difference being simply
in the preparation. The outer husk Of
the berry is black, the inner seed being
much lighter, or nearly white. The
best pepper is made from the whole
berry ground up, husks and all. Those
who are now coming home from Europe,
often bring back a pretty little pepper
mill for the table, to be used instead of
a pepper box. 1t is filled with whole
pepper, and holding it in one hand you
turn a little handle with the other, and
grind a few grains of fresh, fragrant
pepper into your soup or stew. Black
pepper is largely adulterated. The pep
per husks from the London made white
pepper manufacturers, are for sale on
this side of the Atlantic for only a few
cents a pound. The whole pepper costs
at the importers say Is cents per pound.
Pepper of pepper husks, mustard husks,
and ground rice or flour, can be sod for
IS many cents the ounce, as the pepper
husks cost per pound, and seem quite
like pepper, too. 1t smells peppery,
but it is not tempting, and it is no won
der that we often hear people say, II
very seldom take pepper"

A Snake Charmer's Narrow Es-
cape From q Python.

A thrilling incident haopenedin Fore
paugh's circus yesterday afternoon,
while Nala Damajante, the Hindoo
snake charmer, was gong through her
performance of handling half-a-dozen
squirming pythons. 1t was all in the
twinkllng of an eye, and scarcely a doz-
en- persons in the great audience were
aware that ~Damajante had for moment
been in deadly peril. She had finished
the wonderful act of walking about the
raised platform with six snakes coiled
like a living herd-dress over her fore
head, and had taken the huge python,
whose weight is ninety pounds and
length twelve feet, from its box, and
threw it across her shoulder. AS she
had done with the other snakes, DANA
JAMIE grasped the powerful creature a
few inches back of the head, Although
the air was damp and chilly, the python
appeared possessed of more than usual
activity. 1t unwound its sinuous length
from Damajante's body and quickly coil
ed about the upperp part other chest aid
throat. To those nearest the performer,
the muscles ofthe. snake could be distinct
lyseen working beneath the spotted skin.
Suddenly the reptile gave an angry hiss
and darted forth its quivering tongue,
and almost at the same moment the
coil about the wo,nan's throat was tight
ened: Damajante's agent, who was
standing nea the entrance to the ele-
rhant house, appeared to know that
there was a possibility of something of
the kind taking place, and was keeping
a keen eye on the performance. He
started forward quickly but quietly, SO
as not to alarm the audience, and had
got half way down the race track, when
Damajante, who had already realized
her great danger, succeeded in untwist-
ing the tale end of the snake from her
body. The middle and most powerful
part of the python was still about her
throat, and the pressure was increasing.
She was very pale but thoroughly calm.
The head Of the python, kissing horri-
bly,, was still grasped in her right hand.
Damajante, with remarkable nerve,
managed to free her left arm, and in
another instant had, with all the strength
she possessed in both hands, unwrapped
the writing necklace from her throat.
She placed her dangerous pet back in its
box, bowed, and retired.-Philadelphia

Law Versus Gospel.

Law versus gospel: At the Chester.
Eng, police court, a laborer named
Thomas Moran was summoned for neg
lecting to contribute to the support Of
his children in the @orkhouse. The re-
lieving officer said the defendants six
children we're admitted to the poorhouse
in September. Moran agreeing to pay
ten shillings weekly to their support.
Up to the present timo he had only paid
fourteen shiilings. His wife was in an
asylum. Moran said that a fortnight
after the children entered thu house he
was laid up ten weeks from an accident.
When he got better, frost set in, and he
got no work for thirteen weeks. After
that, he got five days work weekly, and
when in full..work his wages were but a
pound a week. The long illness made q
debt that had to be paid, and he had
paid the guardians all he could. An en-
try in the police book showed that
Moran was carried to the intirmary on
a stretcher, in September. NotWith.
standing this, the magistrates sentenced
the prisoner" to a months hard labor.
The defendant burst out crying, exclaim-
ing: "For Gods sake, gentleman, give
me a chance. I was never in prison. If
you send me I'll lose my work. If you
give ME time, I'll pay all" He was re-
moved, still appealing for mercy.

Pansies and verbenas.

Pansies, in this country are universal
ly grown from seed, which is sown or
t~ransplanted at various periods-in au-
tumn for the next spring, and late.inthe
winter for summer; some persons keep
up continuous cultivation, sowing and
transplanting% frequently. To guard young
plants against damping or decaying at
the root, transplant into shallow boxes,
about an inch apart, and keep them
rather cool, warm enough, however, to
assure good growth. All plants raised
in the house, or in a hotbed, should be
hardened by partial exposure before
planting in the ground. When we dc
not produce large, fine pansies it may be
owing to the want of a sheltered nook
for them-a cool moist place--or the
understand how much food they require.
imagine is not more imperious in his
demands than are these modest looking
flowers: hence you cannot get the soil
too deep or too rich. They delight in
moisture, while liquid is an
elixir. Our grandmothers used to have
leaeh-tubs set up in the spring for the
purpose of making soap; we need leach
tubs set up in a similar way for distilling
fertilizers. 1t is astonishing how q lit
tie dressing tells, especially in liquid
form. 1t should always be used weak,
just in a dormant state. I have obtained
as good blooms generally from mixed
German eeeds as from any other,
though I often buy the French oder
and English extra choice.
Verbenas are easily raised from seed,
although a little slow in starting. Soak
ing the seed, also the use of a hotbed,
will facilitate the process. but they can
be raised in a warm place in the house,
and duly prepared in time for the bed
or border. Plants thus grown are strong
and healthy; much more so than those
from cuttings but the trouble is they can
not be depended on for color. When
you send to a florist you know what you
have, and you can dispose your scarlet,
white and purple %colors, and their vari-
atoms, SO as to form q beautiful bed.
Not SC with seedlings. Still. they seem
to be satisfactory to many amateurs, and
our florists strongly recommend them,

FARM AND HOUSE,
Agricultural Notes.

An Iowa Journal, The Traer Clipper,

Mr.. s. w. Delano, st. Clair, Mich, had

A bill has been passed by the prov

that any. municipality may pay out of

A writer on the subject of laying hens
says, he began with a flock, the average
laying OF each hen being only IS to So
per annum. By selecting for Matching,
from year to year, the eggs ofthose hens
that laid the greatest number, he brought
them up in process of time to lay from
100 to 2lO each. We have we'll anthem
ticated instances of hens laying $50 eggs
in a single year, and even more than
this number is guessed at. 1t is highly
profitable, under ordinary circum-
stances, to keep hens which lay $50 to 200
eggs per annum, but quite the contrary
if they produce only 60 to 80. The non.
sitters are such as give the former; but
the %sitters, when a good breed, will gem

A Garden in a Cornt1eld.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The old-fashioned kitchen garden,
fenced in, surrounded with currant
bushes and berry plants often spread
far out toward the centre, with a few
punches of peonies and here and there
a rose. bush and a clump of hollyhocks,
where possibly the plough might be used
with a good deal of turning and Juggling,
but more likely the spade with still
harder work, belongs to a by-gone age,
and SAVIOR more of penance than Of
profit. Nowadays, with the perfect i'm
plements for planting and cultivating,
gardening may be made easy. If there
is no better spot, II corner Of the corn
field may be taken, and all OF the seede
be planted in rows, thickly %orthiniy, ac-
the rows extend across tho field, and il
too long make part Of them corn or po-
tatoes The ground need orly be well pre-.
pared, as for corn, and rIade fine with
the harrow and marked with a corn.
marker. For the fine Sc eds like lettuce,
onions, ETC., the garden rake may be
used to smooth the surface along the
rows.
When these seeds come up, scrape the
earth and weeds away an each side
from the young plants witha light touch
of the hoe, and leave the row clean.
The plants will then be seen distinctly,
although small, and the cultivator will
mellow the ground between the rows
and destroy the weeds, and its OCCASION
al use will do most of the garden work.
A little hand wedding may be required
in the row, if the ground is weedy,
otherwise the gardening may be done
with a horse and cultivator. Cucumbere
melons, beets and everything may be
planted after the marker and be owe
ed with the hoe or the garden rake.
One man in a day can plant seeds
enough for a bountiful supply fora large
family. Vegetables and plants raised in
this way will grow faster than in a gar
may be left. for the later planting of ra-
dishes anu winter cabbage, and mean
while the cultivator will keep the ground
clean and mellow.
When July comes the open spaces
between the rows of onions and lettuce,
and where vacant spots have been made
may be strewn with turnip seed and
raked over, and so all of the ground will
be utilized. The pea-rows, later in the
season, and where the early potatoes
grew, may also be converted into a tur-
nip patch. A few extra loads O fmanure
tile best rotted-ploughed under
where the garden is to go. will make
stronger growth; and the quicker most
vegetables grow the better the quality.
The first of June the radishes ma be
put in and they will be crisp and tender.
A little wood ashes and hen manure
mixed together and worked into the
soil, will give vegetables a rapid start.
Hen manure and plaster is also a supe-
rior fertilizer, but not quite 50 active as
the other. Plenty of vegetables are a
blessing to a housewife, and help won
deriully to surround the farmers table
with good cheer.-F. d. Curtis, Kirby
