Advice to Old Men.

Don't presume on your age.
Don't be vain of your handsome gray
hair and whiskers
Don't set yourself up as models OF
propriety in public and get full of booze
in private.
Don't think because young men are
young they are fools. They probably
are. but you were young once yourself.
Don't say vulgar things before ladies,
and excuse yourself on the ground that
you are old enough to be their fathers.
Don't forget that age must respect
itself before it can command it from
others.
Don't sour the world on you by sour
ing yourselves on the world.
Don't fool with temptation.
Don't be too wise.
Don't try to make love. The old
fools are the biggest fools.
Don't let your love of the world make

sons will attend to that part of the bust

Professional Strangers.

Thugs are known to have existed
during the seventeenth century, when
they used female decoys for the I'M
wary traveller, as they did within the
present century, though they are of a
much older date than that period. The
fraternity is not composed of men OF
one caste, but of people of di lerent
castles and religions, and vim in differ
ent districts, having secret signs and a
peculiar dialect known to all those who
are initiated into the fraternity. Strange
| to say, however, the ma iDrity of them
are nominally not Hindoos, but Moham-
medans, and their tradition is that they
originally sprang from seven tribes, all
of that religion. living in the neighbor-
hood of Delhi, from which they were
dislodged in the seventeenth Century.
The Hindoos, however, say that the
caste was in existence long before
MOhammed's time. But they all agree

pecially after any murder, present to

Those who are initiated into the body
are taught the secret signs, but only
tJs,ss who apply the moose receive the
sacred wafer of 1huggee, which is be-
lieved to change mans whole nature.
From boyhood to manhood they are
taught to look upon the strangu-
lation of unoflending victims as their
calling in life. into which they are
gradually initiated. First, the neophyte
is employed as a scout, or sotah, only,
his duty being to give warning of the
approach of traveller. Sometimes
women and children, as less apt to be
suspe ted, are employed in this work;
then he is allowed to see the corpse
after it has been strangled, and to as
sist at the interment; lastly, after a
solemn initiation by means of the ST.
cred sugar, he is elevated to the rank
of bhuttote or strangler. aud allowed
to use the Moose or rOomal. by which
the victims are dispatched. The whole
gang Is governed by iamadar, sirdar
or hief, and Las attached to it a gurn
or teacher. Nothing about theirunL oily
calling is, however, in the Thugs eyes
unhOly; on the contrary, eversthing is
sacred. III. lughaees or g ave dggers
constitute one OF the highest grades in
the order. The pickaxe with which the
grave is dug is solemnly forged and
coBsecrated. 1t is considered as a gift
from Kali and looked upon accordingly
with great veneration. Every seventh
day it is brought out and worshipi ed.
AMI no matter how pressing the neces-
sity, the grave can be dug BY no other
instrument. All the Thugs follow souie

place to place under sarious DISCUSSES.

One of the seeming obstacles to rails
ing root crops on large scale is the
lack Of proper place for keeping them
in winter. A general impression pre-
walls that they must be kept in cellars
or in root house specially built for the
purpose. There is really no necessity
for special root house, as the simple
and cheap method for preserving them
in pits in the open ground is far better.
will briefly describe my plan, which 1
have practiced with all kinds of market
garden roots for twenty-five years.
Mangels, in this section of the country,
are dug up towards the end of October,
or just after our first slight frost. They
are then temporarily secured from
severe frosts by placing them in con-
venient oblong heaps, say three feet
high by six feet wide. and are covered
with three or four inches of soil, which
will be sufficient protection for three or
four weeks after lifting; by that time,
say the end of November, they may be
slowed away in their permanent winter
quarters. For turnips and carrots,
there is less necessity for the temporary
pjtting. as they are much harder roots.
and may be left in the ground until the
time is necessary for permanent pitting.
if time will not permit of securing them
temporarily.
The advantage of this temporary
pitting is, that it enables them to be
quickly secured at a season when work
is usually pressing, and allows the pc
riod of their permanent pitting to be
extended into comparatively cold sea-
son. This.is found to be of utmost i'm
portance in preserving all kinds of
roots; the same rules regulating the
preservation in winter, apply as in
spring sowing. While in this section of
the country it must be done no later
than the end of November, in some of
the Southern States the time may be ex-
tended month later, while in places
where the thermometer does not fall
lower than twenty-five degrees above
zero, there is no need to dig up any of
these roots at all, as that degree of cold
would not injure them.
The permanent pit is made as fol-
lows: A piece of ground is chosen
where no water will stand in winter
If not naturally drained, provision must
be made to carry off the water. The
pit is then dug four feet deep and six
feet wide, and of any length required.
The roots are then evenly packed in sec
tions of about four feet wide, across the
pit, and only to the height of the ground
level. Between the sections space of
half foot is left, which is filled up with
soil level to the top. This gives a Sec
A r L.
and four feet long, each section divided
from the next by six inches of soil, form
ing series of small pits, holding from
six to twelve barrels of roots, one of
which can be taken out without disturb
ing the next. which is separated from it
by six inches of soil.-Peter Henderson.
