siderable broom corn raised south and
southwest of this place this year, and
the raisers have obtained very satis-

hoon, has an orchard on his farm north
of town that is loaded with apples,
many of the trees being so heavy laden
with the fruit that they have broken to
the ground. His large orchard with SO
many apples in it is worth driving miles
to see.
Humboldt Union: G. A. Laude, liy-
ing near Center Bridge, during the
season planted ten acres of Kaffir corn.
Ee is highly pleased with the yield OF
this new grain. Kaffir corn is said to
be excellent food for hogs, cattle and

BANK of England notes are made
from new white linen cuttings-never
from anything that has been worn. So
carefully is the paper prepared that
even the number of dips into the pulp
made by each workman is registered
on a dial by machinery, and the
sheets are counted and booked to each
person through whose hands they pass.
They are made at Laverstoke, on the
River Whit, in Hampshire, by family
named Portal, descending from a
French Huguenot refugee, and have
been made by the same family for more
than one hundred and fifty years.
About 1860 a large quantity of the
paper was stolen by one of the
employees, which caused the bank a
great deal of trouble, as the printing
is comparative easy matter, the great
difficulty with forgers being to get the
paper. They are printed within the
bank building. there being an elaborate
arrangement for making them so that
each note of the same denomination
shall differ in some particular from
the others.

SNA1Ls are largely consumed by
consumptives in England who can af-
ford them. OF course they are i'm
ported. The best come from the
vineyards of France, and for this rea-
son they are considered especially fine.
They are certainly luxury, for tin
of snails cost As. Cd. Frogs hind legs
are eaten in larger quantities than is
generally supposed. You can't tell
them from a bit of chicken; and no
doubt good many people who are not
carful about consulting the menu at
swell dinners eat them as such. An
other novelty for epicures is crayfish
tails. They are little things like
shrimps, and are used for favoring all
sorts of dishes, soups, sauces and vege-
tables. Boned larks in aspic jelly
sound well. The young bachelors who
lounge through life in chambers off Pic
adilly go in for these potted things.
They are handy.
