gether they took the corpse from its

hcaving of his breast which had alarm-

within the box, and to his hand was
tied cutlas with which he could rip
himself ont of his confinement at once.
On his person were four loaded pistols
and silver whistle
In an hours tiIIe they had the house

when the robbers, who had thought to
establish their confederate within safe
ty arrived about midnight they were
repulsed with unexpected fury, several
of their number being killed or wound
ed, and the bodies carried away in the
retreat of the others. The body of the
robber in the pack was buried, and il
was said that his grave was opened and
the corpse taken secretly away. No
clew to the perpetrator, Of this base
and bold attempt at burglary was ever

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Bridget and Brains.

/
An impossible combination some of
my readers will say, and although such
an assertion is somewhat too sweeping,
yet | must say that it is rather of what
ought to be than of what is | SHALT treat
under the heading of Bridget and
Brains. This is a contamination de-
voutly to be wished. 1t never can be
too deeply impressed upon the minds
of housekeepers that the happiness Of
the household is largely dependent up
on the health of the household, and the
health is in large measure preserved or
impaired by the results Of Bridget S
skill or ignorance, as the case may be.
There are persons who deem it a mat
ter of little or no consequence what one
eats as long as the vacuum is filled.
Nature abhors vacuum they know by
personal experience but study neither
manner nor matter i'll supplying the
need. Since the food we cat makes
the blood that circulates through our
bodies and that feeds our brains, what
can be of such importance III the do
nestle arrangements as proper prepar-
alton of that food? | have been glanc-
ing at the Chemistry Of Cooking,
noticed last week in the Observer. To
put such book into the hands Of an
ordinary Bridget would be absurd. 1t
would be unreasonable to expect her
to understand two lines Of it. But the
intelligent housekeeper would be able
to understand every word, and having
read and carefully assimilated the con-
tents, she should be able to
superintend the cooking of
the kitchen. BY degrees Bridget might
learn how to cook, even if She never
fully understood the treason why Of
the laws laid down for her guidance.
In looking over the work mentioned |
am not surprised to find such a senti-
ment as the following in reference to
ell-prepared dish of fish: "SOmc pcO-
pie may be inclined to smile at what
