GOOD LEGAL ADvICE.-Mr. Edward
Clarke, Q. c., NJ. P, when young man
was, it is said, assigned by the Court, to
defend a man charged with assault IN
the second degree, to give the accused
the best advice he could under the cir
cumstances and to bring the case to trial
with all convenient speed. Mr.. Clarke i'm
mediately retired to an adjacent room to
consult with his client and returned shortly
without him. "Where is your client?" de-
manded the astonished judge. "He has left
the place, l Think" replied the barrister,
with the most refreshing GOODNESS. "Left
the place! Why, what do you mean, Mr..
Clarke ?" "Why, Your Lordship directed
me to give the best advice | could under
the circumstances. FIe told me he was
guilty, so advised him to cut and run for
it."-Mo,ning Ne,CS.
Poisonous REPTILEs.-Much of the pop
ular delusiOn concerning snakes is contra
dicted by Rheem, of the Smithsonian insti-
tute. The venomous hOOpsnake, which
takes it's tail in it's mouth and rolls along
like hoop, and the blowsnake, the breath
of which is deadly, exist only in the. imag-
ination. The idea that serpents sting with
their tongue is erroneous. An impression
prevails that the number of poisonous
snakes is great, but in North America, Prof.
Rheem contends, there are but three !spe-
cies-the rattlesnake, the copperhead or
moccasin and the coral. Snakes 90 not

Pull your onions up, and spread them on the
ground in the hotsun let them lay three or
four days, and if they lay week it will not
hurt them. Stir them up occasionally with a
pitchfork, and they will never fail to keep.

GETTING HIS LIFE INsURED.-Old Bob

animation he was asked his age, but he was
unable to give definite answer.

The physician continued:
"How old was your father when he died %
"Bout forty"
"Was he sick very long?"
ooh, no, sab. He drapped off mighty
sudden.'
''Heart disease, may be. What did the
doctors say was the matter with him"
"Da didn' say much o. nuthin'. One O.

ASLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING lady
employed young girl about fifteen years
old, to assist her about her houseWork, and
one day she was making some cake, and
wished to put some kind Of plums in it; so
she set dish down on the table with some
plums, and told the girl to stone them, and
to show her how, she took up plum and
took the stone out, with the remark
"That is the way"
Then, thinking the girl understood what
she meant, she put the plum, she had into
her mouth, instead of the dish, and went
away. What was her surprise short time
after, to have the girl come into the room
where she was and tell her she had eaten all
she could. When the lady went into the room
where she had been at work, she found she
had put all the stones into the dish, and
eaten all she could of the plums; she think
ing that the hard pieces meaning the
stones-would soften up when baked in
the cake.

pag~ Many man has broken his back and
lost his heart on a poor farm which he has
suffered to run down by bad management.
He has spread his labor and capital over
one hundred acres, when by contining him
self to twenty-five or thirty he might have
become happy and rich. The way to repair
such an error is to begin with one field and
get that in good condition and let the rest
lie, and so 90 on through the farm. One
rich field will then make it easy to enrich
another or two; and while the beginning is
slow, it is downhill work and as the end
is nearly reached progress is fast and easy.

Hy~The food animals consume mOdifies
the character of their flesh. Turnips yield
a peculiar flavor to mutton. The flavor of
mutton from sheep that have lived on the
highlands is different from that Of sheep
which have obtained their food chiefly from
the lowlands. The garlic of the meadows
and some fragrant herbs modify the flavor
of the meat. Oily food tends to make the
fat soft. Hens partly fed on scraps Of de-
caying meat, yield eggs that are at once un-
pleasant to the taste and unhealthy. Feed
ing animals for human food is, then, ofgreat
not enough that food makes fat, it should
also impart an agreeable flavor.

A WELL TRIED REMEDY FOR HOG
CHOLERA.-I raise and fatten from 800 to
500 hogs every year, and consequently have
had some experience with hog cholora. I
separate the we'll hogs from the sick ones;
give them clean, healthy quarters, and feed
carbolic acid one teaspoonful to each bucket
Of thin swill, milk or water. Give hogs all
to we'll hogs when they are exposed to the
disease. Carbolic acid is also great pre-
ventive. Where herd is infected they
should be doctored with carbolic acid two or
three weeks. The acid will cure all the
hogs that are able to eat.-Er.

the disease to remarkable extent. Not
only could it be deprived Of its fatal ef-
fects. but ii could be converted into q

lation. This, together with Pasteur's

years ago he (Mr. TyndslD visited Pas
tours laboratory in Paris, and there,
confined in different cages, he saw
guinea-pigs and other animals, some Of
them jumping about and enjoying life,
others evidently approaching death,
and some even in the rigor Of death.
He imagined a tender-hearted bishop
in that laboratory. witnessing Pas
teur distribute deadly contagion among
these unprotected creatures. No doubt
he would have invited the hand Of the
law to stamp out such cruelty, but in
doing so he would assuredly have fixed
the charge Of cruelty upon himself, for,
in lieu of the units which had been sub
iected to the operations of scientific
men, he would have delivered over to
the ravages OF splenic fever tens Of
thousands of those same animals.
They must look beyond the suffering Of
the present moment to the incalcula-
BILE issues that subsequently arose.
Never in the history Of medi-
cine had a brighter day dawn

them not be fettered in their efforts by
legislation Of a mischievous character.
Professor Tyndall proceeded to detail
the results of Pasteur's inquiries into
the nature of hydrophobia. and OBJ

ed in isolating the organism of the dis
ease, he had proved that its seat and
centre was the brain. and not the saliva,

Some Young Engiishmen Who Had Arranged
to Blow In Rossa's Office.
\ Washington special SAYS About
two weeks ago young Englishman who
resides in New York visited this city.
When the news came Of the explosions
i'll London he was greatly excited and
declared mysteriously that the boys "
must act promptly. and frequently ex-
pressed his impatience by wondering
what those same boys" were about.
When questioned i'll regard to his mean
ing he would laugh and say that the
newspapers would within a short time
have news almost as sensational as the
London explosions. The young gentle
man is yet i'll the city. Being again
questioned to-day touching the promised
sensation, he replied that it was spoiled
by the action of the female crank. Mrs.
Dudley.
1t was all arranged" he continued.
THAT at about this time the Office of
O'Donoyan Rosa should be blown up.
but the shooting by Mrs. Dudley has
ruined the plan. and now it will all
have to be gone over again or abandoned
entirely. The plot was arranged in
London among a number OF young Eng
lishmen, members of well-known
benevolent organization. 1t was de-
termined that, as Rosa and his fell
low-conspiratorS appeared to be above
American law. they should be given
dose of their own medicine.
They entered into correspondence with
personal and society friends in America.
Every detail was arranged. The per-
son who was to deposit the bomb was
selected, had accepted the dangerous
task, and had secured draft of the Of |
flee and approaches. The date was
fixed for Monday the I'd day of Febru-
airy. BY an extraordinary coincidence
the woman Dudley shot Rosa on the
very day Of the evening when his office
would, except for the shooting, have |
been blown TO fragments
- Was it the intention to kill Rossa:"
. Not unless it became necessary. |
The plan was TO blow up the office. if |
possible, when no one was in it, for
moral effect. II was arranged, how
ever, that if the person who deposited
the bomb should be discovered and as
saulted or captured assistants were to
be at hand who would shoot, and shoot

A beautiful rendition of Fatinitza
was given at the Theatre last evening
by the Boston Ideal Company. Mr..
Whitney appeared in one of his greatest
roles. that Of Count kantcheOkOif. 9"
He sang the part to perfection, and
exhibited in it an ability for lyric
acting which has not been shown
in his other efforts this week.
Miss Clmar gave a charming i'm
personation Of d" Princess Lydia"
She was very beautiful in the becoming
costumes of the first and third acts, and
in her vocalization gave evidence of the
sweetness and purity Of her high and
well-cultiyated soprano. Miss Phillips
gave an excellent rendering of "Nladi-
mir" The power and richness Of her
cOntralto voice is simply phenomenal.
These three with Mr.. Karl formed a fine
musical quartette, and were rapturOusly
applauded. The quartette in the first
act and the trio in the third
were unusually pleasing. Upon
the rendering of the trio, Miss Ulmar,
Miss Phillips, and Mr.. Karl were
forced to respond to Il double encore.
Mr.. rockingham made a spledid Ser
geant, and Sungwith fine effect. As" IL
zet Pasha, part not oyer-pleasing at
best, Mr.. Barnabee found decided
favor with his auditors, and did excel
lently well. The chorus was, as usual,
most effective, and Mr.. Studley did
wonders with his orchestra.
This afternoon the beautiful opera of
- Girohe-G -Giroha " will be given. and
tonight The Musketeers" will be
rendered with a powerful cast. Anex-
ccllent performance will be enjoyed
both at the matinee and at night.
