 Not To Re Left Alone with a Safe.
 Norwich correspondent writes of the young burglar Williams, who is now in New London jail:
 Give him twenty minutes alone with safe, says Sheriff Hawkins, and Williams can open the most intricate lock that was ever de- vised, and if you will tell him merely the name of the safe maker he will tell you in- stantly all the parts in the lock and give you a diagram of the mechanism. He never breaks lock, lie simply finds out inside of twenty minutes the combina- tion in which it is set, opens the safe, and takes out what he wants and relocks it, and when the owner returns he finds the safe apparently just as he left it. To accomplish his work William needs, in addition to his quick wit and mechanical knowledge, three ordinary wires, which he forces into the lock about the handle in such way that the num- Der of combinations is reduced to twenty four. He reasons that all persons in locking l a safe make a certain number of | moves and a knowledge of this fact l enables him to further reduce it's l probable combinations to two or three l movements. These two or three moves he l finds out by actual trial, which consumes l the greater part of his twenty minutes. In 1 the case when safe is in an apartment that | is in full view of the street, he drops little | quicklime on the floor, pours water on it and | the steam that arises effectually cloaks the | In three instances Williams un- locked safes, abstracted the contents, relock- ed them and made off in the time that the | men who were in charge of them were at 1 their dinners. He got away with the valua- bles in Stratford safe in this way

Slow Eating.

The idea of rest and recreation and de-
liberation in eating no longer occupies the
thought of the American boy, much less
of the business men. Yet the power of
ones life depends as much upon this as
upon any one conduct Of life. A Thorough
digestion not only leaves the mind clear
and the nervous system placid. but so pro-
vides the physical and mental machinery
with its propelling power as to make
thought as natural as if it were physical
function. 1t is not difficult to see in the
work, as we'll as in the writings OF some
men. the traces of bad physical con-
dition. Emerson overstated the case when
he stated that the sick man is on the road to
rascality; but, nevertheless, did indicate
what is true. that man in a chronic state
of embarrassed digestion is out OF gear
with himself and the rest of mankind. We
believe that the foundation of many an in
capacity is laid in this want OF quiet, de-
liberate eating.-The Independent.

Hints About Winter Pigs.

The farmer who is this year making his
first experiment in raising winter pigs,
would do well to bear in mind, that, in his
zeal to make his brood SOW pens snug and
cosy, he is every whit as likely to overrun
the mark. as the reverse. His anxiety to
have everything as warm and comforta-
BILE as possible, will be very apt to lead
him to close all means of ventilation, to
exclude even proper amount of light.
or to give the little stranger no chance
whatever for exercise. Then he will
probably be astonshed to find that his
pigs, though seemingly healthy and thriv
ing, suddenly begin to die off. 1t is not
from being laid upon evidently; it surely
can not be from starvation; and cold is
out of the question. There is no apparent
cause. to his mind, tor this startling NOR
tality; and yet the explanation is simple
enough, viz: vitiated atmosphere. and
lack of exercise. Farm animals are not
so widely d fferent from human beings in
their physical requirements. as many are
inclined to think Its only for the hog"
is an argument that appeals only to the
unenlightened. Make your pens as warm
and tight as you please, but for pork and
profits sake. give them decent ventla-
ton and plenty of light. Give your young
pigs chance to run about. and stretch
themselves. too. If your pens are in a
piggery, let there be small opening into
another and larger pen. where the pigs
can scamper around, and pick up little
extra feed thrown in from time TO time :;
or if they are in your barn, make an open
ing through which your pigs can get out
to the barn floor and root about AMONG
the grass seeds. In either case it is a
good plan to have small, hinged doors,
opening outward, Ito the south if posi-
ble), which you can open on sunny days.
and let your pigs out for run in the open
air. Keep them in close confinement, and
failure is certain. You can no more ex-
pect to raise winter pigs successfully. in a
small. stuffy pen, than you can hope to
grow Jacqueminot roses in your cellar. -

Destroying Woodchucks.

Woodchucks are very troublesome pests
iu MANY sections. In New Hampshire.
thew have caused the farmers so much an
noyance that the State Legislature passed
q law last year offering bounty OF ten
cents each for all that might be destroyed.
This gives lots of fun. and considerable
pocket money to epterprising boys. We
have never found more practicable meth
cd of catching these animals than BY keep
ing a few good steel traps for setting at
the mouths of the woodchuck holes. 1t Is
we'll to partially cover or hide the trap
from view, as old woodchucks of expert
ence learn after while to dig out at the
rear of their holes rather than to walk in
to or over the trap. Darkening the holes
by covering the mouths with grass or
green brush often works well. as the
woodchnck will blunder into trap set in
the dark, when it would avoid it if exposed
to the light.
New Hampshire affords specially
favorable home for the woodchucks be-
cause of her many stone walls. which make
such excellent harbors for them. Indeed.
one of the chief objections to stone tor
farm fences is. that they are such good
protection to woodchucks and other nox-
ious vermin. Where dogs and boys have
free range of the fields. stone wall soon
gets very badly torn down in the
hunts for woodchucks and rabbits.
Very few boys. or men either. will
lay up stone wall after getting out their
game. as we'll as they found it before they
tumbled the stones down. yet we like
good, smart, farm boys, and enjoy having
them about, but long since concluded that
dogs and stone fences are. at best. neces-
sary evils to be dispensed with as fast as
practicable.
A correspondent of the New York Trib-
une, who has been much troubled by
woodchucks. has a way of smothering
them in their holes by the use of burning
sulphur. He takes old strawberry bas-
kets. fills them with dry wood shavings,
which will burn freely. puts one as far as
convenient into the mouth of each hole.
lays on a paper package of sulphur con-
tanning about two teaspoonfuls, gets fire
we'll started in the shavings and sulphur,
and then closes the mouth of the hole
with a sod previously cut for the purpose.
If the work is carefully done. the wood
chuck will never live to open his hole.
Some have used old cotton rags dipped in
melted sulphur for the same purpose, but
good shavings and dry sulphur are less
troublesome to prepare. The sulphur
cure has the advantage over steel traps of
being less crnel. and requiring less time
in attendance. A trap, too. will some
times catch favorite dog or cat. which
may be Objectionable, especially if it be
your o,On dog or cat.-N. E. Farmer.
