ST. PAUL, July g. Lakesville, a small
town twenty miles south Of st. Paul.
was the scene Of o terrible tragedy. Eli
Mullinar, noted de4persdo and horse
thief, whose home is IN PRINCETON, No.,
shot and instantly killed John johnson,
worthy citizen of tile county. Multi
mar, was wounded by o son of johnson,
but not seriously. Peter Brizendine,
companion of Mullin lar, then shot and
instantly lilled young johnson and
wounded Mrs. johnson, who rushed to
the assistance of her husband and son.
Mullinar and Brikeadine are noted
horse thieves, and at the time of the
tragedy-3 o'clock in the morning-were
making away with q pair of horses be-
longing to johnson. They have sue
ceeded in making their escape, and o
posse of armed citizbns is now about
ready to start another trail. II captured
they will surely be lynched. The affair
has caused great excitement. It is
thought that both the robbers passed
through Pennington, as lad of 10 saw
two men answering their description
riding in the direction Of Mortified
about A o'clock and leading two bay
horses.
They are desperate men, and have
been the terror Of this neighborhood
ever since last March. Mullinar is the
man who, several yea ars ago, at Prince
ton, Mo-, attempted the wooliy horse
swindle on an agent of Adam Fore
paugh, alleging that he had genuine
woolly horse, but upon investigation it
was found that Mullinar had very in
geniously fastened nul lnerous sheep pelts
to the animal, and the cheat was thus
exposed.

Raisins From Grapes.

Raisins are merely dried grapes pre-
pared by several processes, but in Europe
only two are generally practised. One
of these consist in partially cutting
through the stalk of the ripening punches
and then allowing them to hang on the
vines until the berries shFivel and dry by
the heat of the sun. These are considered
the best raisins and are known as the
Museatels. Large quantities are raised
and exported from Malaga. In the other
process the grapes when gathered are
hung on lines or spread out on drying
floors to dry in the sun. When dried
they are dipped in hot lye, to which has
been added a little olive oil and salt.
After dipping the fruit is spread out on
wicker work to drain and dry still more,
after which the raisins are stripped from
the stalks and packed in boxes. But all
the grapes from which raisins are made
are different from any of our native
species and varieties, none of which will
answer for ~raisirs, as their pulp is not
firm and hard enough, and when we
undertake to dry them there is little left
but skin and seeds. Agood 1aisin grape
must have a flesh of a firm consistency,
somewhat like that of q good plume or
prune, as the imported article is called.
The raisins of California are made from
the European varieties of the grape ano
not from any of the American species.
Raisin grapes will not thrive in Pennsyi-
yania unless raised under glass, against
walls, or other protected situations

Al Underground River.

a swift-dowing underground river has
been discovered in the southern part OF
Pettis County, Mo. The stream is known
to be twenty-five feet in depth, and the
top of the water is twenty-six feet below
the surface of the earth. The river was
discovered by a farmer, j. 81. Miller,
who has for years resided eighteen miles
southeast of Sedalia. For a long time
past the members of Mr.. Mlller's family
have heard at intervals queer rumbIings
as of an earthquake, or approaching
storm. That afternoon a roaring, crash
ing noise from the orchard, near the
house, brought the members of the fam
lily to the spot in a body, and the mys-
terry was explained. The land in the vi
entity Of Mr.. Miller's place is compare
lively level, and in the orchard q great
hole, over sixteen feet in diameter, was
visible. The earth had cayed in and the
space is constantly growing larger. A
smoke-house that stood near had to be
moved to prevent it falling into the
river. Measurements were taken, and it
was found to be ifty-one feet from the
top Of the ground to the bottom Of the
water. How wide the river is cannot be
told. Several years ago an attempt was
made to drill q we'll close by, and, after
reaching a certain depth, the tools were
lost. It was supposed a pocket had been
struck, and the work was stopped.-a.

Annafite for Breakfast.

Breakfast is rather a failure as a meal
with town men. That ought not to be.
There is something wrong when a man is
not vigorously hungry in the morning.
Where is the faultg It is in the late
dinners? Not in the dinner, probably,
as much as in what is drunk at dinner;
in that and in the nervous strain of the
times. It does not matter whether
we dine in the middle of the day
or in the evening. SO long as we
dine iudieiously. But the man who has
much work to do, and particularly brain
work. cannot dine in the middle of the
dav. 1.-The does, he must make up his
mind to lose at least an hour of his most
valuable time.
A light luncheon at midday, with no
stimulant stronger than a cup OF coffee
or a bottle of ginger ale, is the suitable
thing. But this must on no account be
used as a substitute for dinner. He who
lunches in this wy at midday must dine
ID the evening, and dine well. The bust
ness man should dine at $50 o'clock, or
at least 7.30 o'clock. The lazy man
may dine when he likes. The man who
has earned his dinner should have 8 good
one-not heavy, but nutritious; not too
elaborate, but well selected and well
cooked.
Dinner should be the last meal OF the
day, except for those who cannot sleep
without a little food in their stomachs.
These may take 4 cup Of Cocoa, with a
little thin bread and butter, just at tine
moment of going TO bed. Il attention
be paid to these suggestions very few
people will fail to be hungry at break
fast.-Hosp5tGl.

soft-wocd ashes, and the ashes from
twigs and young wood is stronger than
that from old wood. The amounts will
also vary with the heat to which they
have been subjected in burning, as at a
very high temperature the potash and
sand or ~silicate of the ashes will unite by
melting together into glass, so that the
the plants cannot reach it. Old farmers
know this, and often speak of ashes as
losing their value by being ssburned to
DEATH" Upon some soils the lime is
very valuable and perhaps more SO than
the potash. And on others the phos.
phoric acid is of great importance. This
will in part explain Why leached ashes
seems to show as good results as un-
leached ashes upon some soils, although
the potash is largely leached out of it.
But another good result from ashes is
their mechanical effect upon the soil.
BENG finer than the loan soil, they mix
with it and make it less porous, so that
~ holds water better and draws up mois-
ture from below more readily. But
upon a dry soil they have an opposite
effect, making it more porous and less
liable to bake and harden up. On such
SOILS coal ashes often show a good result
that is not due to the potash, as they
have but little. It will be seen. then.
that 1t is impossible to tell what price a
farmer can afford to pay for ashes, as we
cannot tell how strong the ashes are, or
how badly his soils needs the carbonic
acid or lime or the potash they may con-
tain. Experiment with them upon your
land, and if they show good results buy
more literally, and use upon soils and
crops of similar character. As a general
rule, it may be considered that ashes are
valuable where potash is needed, and
that they do not do as well upon cold
and moist land as upon dryer and warmer
land. They bring in a variety of long
green moss upon such soils, and many
would not use them there if they could
! get them for nothing.-Boston Culi-

The NeW England Homestead proposes
a plan which it claims will cheat the
dogs and increase the profits of sheep
husbandry." This is the turning to-
gether of sheep from several farms and
hiring a shepherd to take care of them.
The flock is to be taken from one pas
ture to another so that each owner will
furnish his proper portion of the feed.
Under certain conditions this method
might be successful, but at the East the
great majority of farmers who keep
sheep, also keep cows, and many of them
pasture the two classes of animals to-
gether. In their case, the plan proposed
would be impracticable. Besides, we
think most sheep owners would prefer
10 keep their " focks on their own
land and under their own management.

ENsILAGE CORN.

In the early days of ensilage thick
seeding and early harvesting was the
rule. Later on a reaction against this
practice set in, and, at present, the gen
eral drift of opinion is III favor OF com
paratively thin seeding and of allowing
the crop to become as mature as posi-
BILE. The argument against the practice
was that, as the amount of dry matter
contained in a crop of corn increases
very rapidly as the crop natures, the
practice involved a loss of dry matter.
Against the present practice is the lack
Of succulence presented by the fully ma
tured corn. To counterfeit this loss two
methods suggested themselves-namely,
THICKER seeding, ETC., the use of large
growing varieties. Experiments CON
Quoted last season at the Pennsylvania
State College Experiment Station, and
recently reported upon, gave results that
strongly favored thicker seeding of ensil-
age corn than is generally recommended
and the use of rather large growing va
%rieties, even when these do not fully ma
ture.-Ne0 York Wcrld.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
cuRRANT

The hollow stems of currant bushes
are caused by a grub which eats the
pith, and SO weakens the plants thatthe
fruit shrivels. This grub will soon
emerge from the bushes and mature into
a beetle, which appears late in May and
proceeds to lay its eggs upon the bushes,
when the young grubs bore into the
wood. Thus it is necessary to cut out
the old stems very soon and burn them,
so as to destroy this pest. Another cur
rant borer is the young of a moth, of a
dark-blue color, which appears in July.
This is the more abundant of these two
insects, and may be destroyed in the
same way.-New York Times.
