John Broderick charged with theft of
a gold watch and $75 in money from
Dominic Mitchell of Danbury, had his
case continued until to-mrrrow morning
under bonds of $500. Detective Egan
was detailed to hunt up Mitchell, who
was not present this morning. The case
is as follows: Mitchell came from Dam
bury Wednesday evening to visit James
Mcdonald on Charles street. Meeting
Broderick he inquired the way and the
latter offered to show him where his
friend lived, and together they started
for Brooklyn. AT 1890 Officer Claffey
met him alone at the corner of West
Porter street and Mitchell said that his
companion had robbed him of a gold
watch and $75 in money. The police
man had passed the two when they were
going over to Brooklyn and had recog-
nized the man with Mitchell as John
Broderick. Detective Egan arrested
Broderick yesterday afternoon. He ad-
mitted having been with Mitchell but
denied the theft.

SKUNKS EAT GRUBS.
A Fact That Many Otherwise Sensibl
Men Seem to Forget.

A Fact That Many Otherwise Sensible
Men Seem to Forget.
Recently wandering in the famous
Forest Hill Cemetery near Boston, es-
sayed to view the ''grotto," a mass OF
artificial rock work constructed in the
side of conglomerate ledge and suit
ably planted with ferns and under
brush. l was prevented from critical
examination by an overpowering odor
of skunk. An employee explained that
some of the water pools in the grotto
leak, and, becoming dry, form traps
into which skunks fall and can not get
out, and when thus imprisoned they
are killed, sometimes two or three q
week. "Why do you kill them9" "Be-
cause they root and dig little holes
in the grassland he showed me
slope full of the places where the
sharp noses had prodded for grubs
The grass was dead for several square
yards and could easily have been rolled
up like blanket, the roots having all
been severed by white grubs, and it
was these enemies of the lawn that the
skunks were after was surprised
that in intelligent Boston such ig-
norance of the value of the skunk
should prevail, and advised the man to
destroy his .slSunk-traps and thus get
rid of the grubs as well as the job OF
killing the skunks, with the attending
drawback of unwelcome perfumery.-

PAPER HORSESHOE.
1t Is to Take the Place of the Iron Shoe
in Germany.

~
In Germany.
1t is stated that the German Govern,
ment is to substitute for the iron horse
shoe a compressed paper shoe, for which
it is claimed that, in addition to elias
ITCHY, it has the valuable property of
being insensible to the action of water
and stable liquids. The following are
some details of the new system of shoe
ing: The new shoe consists of leaves
of parchmented paper, rendered inn
permeable by means of oil of turpen-
tine, strongly stuck together by a
special mixture mixture of Venice
turpentine, whiting, lacquer and
Enlarged linseed OILY. These leaves of
paper are then shaped by means of a
stamp. The shoe is afterwards sub.
jected to strong hydraulic pressure, and,
when dry, is finished with the file. Use
is also made of a paper paste, mixed
with sand, turpentine, lacquer, insced
oil and litharge, which is pressed into
molds, so as to obtain, after drying, a
perfectly homogeneous and impermea-
BILE mass. But experience has proved
that the horseshoe thus prepared is less
tenacious and less elastic than that
made with superimposed leaves of pa
per. Both, however, may be put on
either with nails or by means of a paste
made of mineral tar or India rubber

SERvlCEABlE DRESSES
Good Material Preferable to Profuse
Trimming.

Good Material Preferable to Profuss
Trimming.
When selecting dress for real serv-
ice, it is best to avoid any special
novelty. Some novelties are pretty,
but in spite of this they are novelties,
and will not retain lasting favor. Tall
women should avoid stripes, for they
only increase the apparent height of the
wearer, while short women should
taboo plaids, because such weaves &C.
centuate their shortness. and seem to
increase their width. Unless one can
afford to replace old with new.
whenever one tires of gown, large
plaids are not desirable, for one soon
tires of them. Indeed, it hardly seems
as though the woman Of good tasts
choose them at all. If plaids are used,
it is generally in combination with
plain goods of harmonizing color. A
dress of good material, neatly and
plainly made, is in far better taste than
one of poorer material and ample trim
ming. The fit of bodice, the hang Of
a skirt, give an air to the plainest cos
tune. 1t is far better to spend what
little extra cash you have in having 9
dress fitted by a good modiste, than t.
use it for tawdry trimmings, or ever
good ones, that can never make up fol
or cover the defects of poorly fitted
and hung gown.-The Housekeeper.

GOOD PIGEON LOFT.

-
The Plan for Its Construction Presented
In Detail.
A comfortable and inexpensive pigeon
loft can be constructed on the following
plan: Procure six locust or cedar blocks,
two feet high, and having inverted tin
pans upon them to exclude rats, place
them in two rows, three on side, max
ing the rows sixteen feet long and six
feet apart, and upon this foundation
place the building. The stills are SKI
inch scantling; the side stills sixteen feet
long; the end stills six feet long. Place
one end Of the frame towards the north,
and erect upon the stills fourteen studs
of 2x3-inch scantling. Five Of these
studs stand upon each of the side stills,
ono in the center of the north end sill,
and two on the south end sill for door
postR On these studs, fasten 2x4-inch
plates, and with 2xS-inch rafters, five
feet long, to allow twelve-inch pro-
lection Of roof, we have the frame COM
plete. The roof can be made Of boards
cut five feet long, and nailed perpen-
dicularly, or it can be covered hori-
zontally by planks sixteen feet long.
The floor is laid the entire length Of
the loft, and the south end and the sides
are inclosed with galvanized wire net
ting, except next to the north end,
which is boarded up solidly from the
floor to the ridge of the roof. Next to
this end the sides are also boarded up
six feet on the east and west sides to
shelter the nesting places. These

Almost . Necsssity 10 ~ Economical

A good pasture Is almost q necessity
TO IN economical growth Of the hogs
during the spring and summer. In
some cases 1t may pay 70 cut of grass,
clover, oats or some other given feed
and give 1t in feeding lots, but in ma
jority Of cases the better plan is to pro-
vide good pasture, well supplied with
grass or clover, with good water and .
comfortable shelter. These being sup
piled very little grain will be needed to
keep the hogs growing steadily all
through the growing season.
Clover, all things considered, makes
the very best pasture for hogs Blue
grass is good, but they will make .
better growth on clover than on any
thing else. Rye and oats are also good.
Where they will thrive oats and field
pease make splendid green feed 70,

in many cases it will pay to sow one

is very essential to maintain steady

With pigs that have been wintered

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.
National StOckman. |


Try to have the cows calve in sue
cession; if you have large herd then
have two or three or more calve about
the same date.
DoN'T let the milk freeze until after
the cream is SKINNED off. And be sure
To keep the cream from freezing. 1t in
lures butter if it gets frozen. Good but
ter will stand up" in a higher tempera-
ture than poor butter.
On cold, sunny days the cows like to
be out in the yard eating ''roughness,"
second quality corn-fodder, weedy hay,
wheat or oat straw. 1t doesn't count
much as feed, but it helps and the
COWS will eat their nights ration just
% usual.
Ina cold stable much more feed is
required than in warm one. 1t is
cheaper to warm the cows with tight
stable than with extra feed. And a
comfortable stable will be comfortable
for the mixer, He will take more pains
to get all the milk, and will not be cross
to the COWS.
CHANGE the feed often-if you can
give better feed each time. But if the
feed is good, no change is needed. Don't
forget the salt, and let the cows judge
as to the quantity they want That is,
give them access to salt every day in
stead of putting q fixed amount in their
feed.
If you have no wooden paddles to
handle the butter with make some, and
don't touch the butter with your hands
agsin. 1t makes no difference even
though you are q woman. Women
mako better butter than men because
they can see or smell any thing that il
wrong quicker. And they will take
more palms to right it. Men say they
s.guess that will do" women say: "Tha'
won't do" But a woman always in
sists that her hands are clean.

back of the loft, and divided into two
compartments, each three feet long;
the shelves themselves extending the
whole width of the loft, or six feet.
The shelves are six in number, and one
foot deep, thus forming twelve nesting
pens, and such loft will accommodate
twelve pairs of birds, although d small
er number would be preferable. In the
accompanying cut, one side of the
boarding is partly left off to show more
plainly the appearance of the shelves in
the sheltered recess Of the loft. The
front of the pens are not nailed, but Sc
cured by buttons to admit Of their re-
moval for the purpose of cleaning.
In the foregoing plan for the con-
struction of loft, with necessary dimen-
sions given, we need only add that in
the southern gable hinged shelf, S6xlS
inches, may form an exit for the birds,
If full liberty is desired, and we will
proceed to the consideration of the loft
furniture This shelf is hinged at the
bottom, and is closed by rope running
over pulley at the top of the aperture
which is just the size Of the shelf.
Thus, when the rope is drawn, the shelf
closes upward, and when the rope is re-
Taxed, the shelf opens downward, and
resting upon its supports, forms an
sighting board for the birds.
For feed a hopper may be used, but
it is preferable to feed by scattering
the grain upon the floor Of the cage
twice daily, and never more than the
pigeons will eat entirely at a meal
An earthenware dish covered with a
wooden board nailed to an inch strip
which rests upon the edges of the bowl
forms a convenient drinking vessel
The birds can insert their heads under
the edge of the board and drink with
out fouling the water. The bottom Of
the cage, or the aviary part of the loft
should be strewed with sand and fine
gravel, and it will be very conducive t.
the health of the birds to supply then
in one corner of the aviary with box
of salt cat. This compound may b.
manufactured by mixing clay and oil
mortar together and wetting tn
mixture with brine until it is about thu
consistency of mortar prepared TO
plastering. 1t can then be put into
box perforated with holes large enough
for the insertion of birds beak, an,
here it will soon become hard and dry

Fur an Embroidery.

Fine ladies' cloth in the most heauti-
full evening colors is Partisan craze OF
the hour that has not reached thiscoun-
try, though few such dresses have
been ordered. Such cloths are made up
in Muscovite fashions, deliberately en-
broidered in metals, trimmed with fur
and combined with light satins or sheet
muslins or even laces. Thus a deep
rose-colored cloth embroidered in silver
is made with bodice of black nel
pointed low in the neck and finished
with very full demi-sleeves of lace. A
band of black fox fur trims the dress
around the edge and surrounds the
tyain.-Chicags Times.
