Mistakes of Burglars.

An enterprising burglar went a burglar
ing the other day, got his "swag," bun.
died it up, and then breaking into the
pantry ate hearty meal and went to
sleep, in which condition he was dis
covered and captured. People would
laugh at such thing if put IN comic
opera or play, but it creates little COM
ment when it actually occurs in real life.
Some years ago an accident very like this
occurred. A safe blower broke into a
store and went to work on "the box. Z"
1t was in back room, and he worked
very leisurely. Finally he forgot him
self and began whistiing a right merry
tune in so loud strain that policeman
heard him and, walking in, captured him
at work. There is another story that old
fly cops tell of burglar breaking into a
house, opening book, and getting so in.
terested in story that he was captured,
with his jimmy lying On the table. st.

RECIPES.

Noodles for soup-Beat one egg light;
add pinch of salt, and -four enough to
make stiff dough; roll out in very
thin sheet, dredge with -four to keep
from sticking, then roll up tightly. Be-
gin at one end and shave down fine like
cabbage for slaw.
Roliches-After cleaning and prepar-
ing the tripe for use, cut it in strips;
cut beef in small pieces and season with
salt and pepper, then put the meat in the
strips of tripe and sew them up. Boil
until a straw can be run through. Put
away and press. Slice and fry or warm
in vinegar.
Baked Onions-5elect very large o1os,
boil half an hour, drain, push out the
hearts, chopping them fine with little
bacon; add bread crumbs, pepper and
salt, and moisten with little cream.
Fill the onions, put into dripping pan
with very little water, and bake until
tender in slow oven, basting often with
melted butter.
Lamb Kidneys in Brochette-Cut six
lamb kidneys through without dividingi

CAKES FOR HOME TEAS.

There are many delicious hot cakes
which are eaten with butter that are
especially welcome on the home table on
cold or damp nights. Waffles, old
fashioned rice pancakes and sally-lunns
are regular features of the Southern tea
tables. Any one who has eaten the ex-
cellent German apple and peach cakes
will find them especially delicious and
suitable for the supper table. To make
good rice cake, take cup of boiled
rice, add to it two cups of milk, ,moisten-
ing the rice by degrees. When all the
milk is added stir in half cup of
melted butter. Sift over the
mixture two cups of -four, mixed
with two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder; add two well. beaten eggs,
teaspoonful of salt and beat the batter
thoroughly. Bake these cakes on agrid-
die. If they are too thick thin them
with more milk. They should be quite
thin. Sprinkle them with powdered
sugar, squeeze lemon juice over them,
roll each Of them into close rolls and
serve very hot. A pleasant thin tea cake
is made with half cup of butter, beaten
to cream, one egg well beaten and
added to the butter, and finally cup of
milk, with half teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in it and two cups of flour, IN
which teaspoonful of cream tartar has
been stirred. Beat this cake vigorously
and bake it in sheets in shallow pans.
This cake should be cut out in squares
and served very hot on the tea table,
where it should be split and battered. A
peach kuchen or cake is simple biscuit
dough made with pint Of warm milk
in which half cup of butter has been
melted, and -four enough to make bat
ter as stiff as can be stirred. Add half
teacup of yeast and teaspoonful Of salt.
and one of sugar to the batter before
beating, and beat till it is we'll bfstered:
Let this dough rise for twelve hours, .o or.
till it is very light, and then knead ltfor,
half an hour, using as little flour as pos
sible. Set the dough to rise again. and
in three or four hours roll out pieces IN
sheets the size of your shallow baking
pans and about half an inch thick, and
Slice good preserved, canned, or fresh
peaches in thin regular slices over them.
If fresh peaches are used, sprinkle them
with sugar. Let the cakes rise for half
an hour, we'll covered up, and bake them
in moderately quick over. These cakes
are delicious hot or cold, and are served
like tart or pie by good German house
wives.-Ncu York Tribune.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TIE MANY USES OF TURPENTINE.

After a housekeeper fully realizes the
worth of turpentine in the household,
she is never willing to be without
supply of it. 1t gives quick relief to
burns; it is an excellent application for
corns; it is good for rheumatism and sore
throats. Then it is sure preventive
against moths; by just dropping trihe
in the drawers, chests and cupboards, it
will render the garments secure from in
jury during the summer. 1t will keep
ants and bugs from closets and store
rooms by putting a few drops in the
corners and upon the shelves; it is a sure
destruction to bed bugs, and will
effectually drive them away from their
haunts if thoroughly applied to all the
joints to the bedstead, and Injuries
neither furniture nor clothing. A spoon
full of it added to pail of warm water
is excellent for cleaning paint.

A record indeed the proprietor may justly
be proud of. Certificates from time to time
are sent in grateful acknowledgement Of the
marvellous cures it has accomplished. One OF

RESTING THE LAND.

It is true sometimes, as illustrated by
the fable of the boy who grasped full
handful of nuts in narrow-necked jar
and could not withdraw his hand until
he had let go the greater part of them,
that men fail in their eager efforts to get
too much out of their land. Constant
cropping is now commonly advocated as
the most useful and profitable method of
growing crops. 1t is reasonable out
growth of the present restless spirit Of the
times which cannot wait for the results
with any patience, but tries to gather
fruits before they are ripe. To rest the
land was principle of agriculture en-
forced by Moses, sustained by every
ancient writer upon agriculture, and in
sisted upon by the best farmers until
within score of years ago. It's purpose
is to gain strength and renewed fertility
for the soil, and its effectivenesshas been
proved by practice beyond any question.
It's effects are to clean the land of
parasites gathered during the previous
rotation Of crops and both animal and
vegetable in kind-weeds and insects
are both destroyed by it and some
troublesome quadrupeds are also got rid
of, such as moles, mice, etc. 1t is q
serious question if at this time, when the
great burden of agriculture is the too
small produce raised on too great space
of land, it would not be most profitable
f-t1 al
year and so increase the fertility and pro-
ductiveness of the soil.-Nep York
Times.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Begin to plan for garden.
Care we'll for your live stock.
Unproftable-using green fuel.
Waste no forage that is feedable.
Let no animal go cold or hungry.
Raw meat for sickly, weak fowls.
Cut cornstalks and straw for feed.
Keep store pigs in good condition.
How as to fresh eggs and broilers2
Warm, dry quarters for the poultry.
Only maximum crops are rcmunera-
tive.
Don't crowd the fowls too closely in
their quarters.
Intelligent industry is the ruling force
in successful agriculture.
Permit no smoking about the barn,
haystacks, Or strawstacks.
The best cure for fence-breaking
animal is administered by the butcher.
There is no profit in rearing or keep
ing cattle, except in good feeding in all
seasons of the year.
Good roads mean thrift, liberality and
wealth. They mean good farms and
good real estate values.
Wherever there is wide-awake farm
ers' club there is likely to be prosper
Gus agricultural community.
Return to the soil an amount of fertil-
izing material larger than that taken
from it by the growth of the crop.
Some one who is evidently shrewd
observer declares that poor farming and
poor horses 60 hand il hand-that, like
"birds of feather" taey "hock togeth-
er."
The incest tool to use in a horse
stable, after pitching out most of the
litter with the fork, is common garden
rake. One can work much easier and
faster with this than with hoe.
A milking stool long enough to sit on
and also hold the pail, the end for the
pail Only half as high as the seat, is a
convenience. The pail will not get
soilcd, and is not so likely to be upset.
Too many farmers have got into the
habit of going to the store when they
want anything especially nice for the
table. The well-managed garden should
give the farmer through the summer more
delicacies than are possible with those
who rely upon city markets.
Those who breed poultry on quite a
large scale, whether on a farm or in a
regular poultry yard, will find good in
cubator an almost indispensable adjunct
in rearing large anmbers of extra early
chicks to secure the early sales and the
big prices obtained for the first byoilers.

times day the year through. I am aware
that this statement may seem rather
broad one. but those who have a "little
garden, we'll titled" will bear me out in
the assertion. 1t is surprising to those
who have had no experience in this line
to find out how much can be grown on
very small piece of ground if proper at
tention is given. 1t does not require
such an amount as one often imagincs it
must, because the regular use of it on the
table has tendency to prevent as great
indulgence in it as would naturally be
the case were it used only as dellcacy
brought out on extra occasions. Used
regularly it becomes sort of appetizer,
and really acts as a tonic of the best
kind. Its pleasant acid tones up the sys-
TEN and whets the appetite for keener
appreciation of more solid food. 1t is
direct aid to digestion, and those who
cat of it regularly are seldom troubled
with those ailments which call for pills
and physic. The fruit eater IS seldom
bilious.
By all means set out plenty of small
fruit. Have row of currants, bed of
strawberries, raspberries along the fence
and grapes wherever support can be
arranged for them. If you have never
tried your hand at small fruit culture
make up your mind to experiment with
it. and the chances are if you take care
of the "vcnture" with which you start
out you will be so we'll pleased with your
success that in a year or two you will
"brtnch out" until you have all the fruit
your family requires. 1t is just as easy
to care for garden of this kind as it is
to properly cultivate feld'of corn. But
most farmers have got the idea into their
heads that it is puttering work, and
nothing will get this idea out of their
heads except trial, which will be sure
to convince them that no other part of
the farm pays so we'll, all things consid-
cred, as a good garden.-Vick's Mag
0zine.

COLT EDUCATION.

If ftheir trainers would handle the colts
as kindly and carefully as educators are
supposed to treat their human pupils,
balky, skittish and runaway horses would
be rarity. Begin by fondling the
animal daily for few days and giving
him q handful of grain each time. He
should then be placed in roomy box
stall or on the barn floor, and a girth
buckled around him, and be shown the
headstall and allowed to smell Of it.
This is exercise enough for the first day.
Every subsequent day an additional
piece of harness can be added and put in
position on the colt, and finally the
harness entire, but he should be shown
every piece and allowed to become
acquainted with it. At this stage of in
struction he should be made acquainted
with most things which are liable to
frighten horses.
A newspaper can be folded and un-
folded and kicked about on the floor in
front of him, and his face be rubbed with
it. In like manner a white sheet,
blanket, robe, sticks and stones can be
used, remembering that all articles he be-
comes acquainted with now will not
frighten him afterward. He should now
be driven about with the harness on and
taught to gee, haw, stop, back, turn
around and go on. Long rope traces,
with spreader far in the rear, can now
be added, and day by day additional
weights attached for him to draw. He
can then be hitched to a training cart
and driven. If none is at hand one can
be made of two old wagon wheels and
their axle. The next step is to harness
him in team with some gentle horse,
and after few drives his education will
be complete. York Tribune.

EARLY-BEARING GRAPES.

Grape vines of two, three or more years
old are often bought with the idea that
they will come earlier into bearing than
those younger and of moderate size.
There are so many branches, each with
several buds capable of producing a shoot
for the coming year, that the planter
supposes himself to have sure thing on
grapes if he can make the vine live. But
with top disproportioned in size to the
root, as such a vine is sure to be, the re-
suit is always most unsatisfactory. Each
bud will start, it is true; but the sap
divided among so many shoots gives each
only a feeble growth. If there are bios
som germs hidden in the buds, they will
blast either before or after blossoming,
and produce no fruit In fact, an old,
overgrown vine will not so soon get into
bearing, thus treated, as will the smallest
yearling vine from which only one shoot
is allowed to push the first year, and
which is cut back to one or at most two
buds the second season. Thus concen-
trated, the sap makes strong cane, capa-
BILE of supporting two or three clusters
of grapes, and the year after becoming
the trunk, from which large numbers of
shoots, each with its burden of clusters,
may be borne. A vine thus treated is
much less liable to disease than one ne
elected in pruning. Trying to grow too
many punches is frequent cause of mil
dew, and even if this is not the case, the
punches are small, and weight of fruit
less than it would be with closer prun-
ing and fewer punches "A nerican Cul.

SMALL FRUITS ON TEE FARM.

No one so fully appreciates the value
of small fruits as the wife of farmer,
who has household to supply with food
of sufficient variety to keep monotony at
bay from the daily bill of fare. Still,
with garden well stocked with small
fruits, farmers families ought never to
complain of monotony in the bill of fare.
Nothing is is more healthful than fruit,
and by the easy and cheap process Of
canning we can have it the whole year
through in such delicacy and naturalness
of flavor as to be almost equal to fresh
fruit. I am glad to note that the old
method of preserving is going out of
fashion.
