Choose the Little Ones.

1t is seldom that large, powerful
dog proves a genuine protection
against professional burglars. He
may keep an amateur at bay, but a
professional who is an expert at his
work will be able to guard against
him. Elaborate calculations are gen.
orally made in advance as to the DIM
cultes to be overcome and a big dog
Is not likely 10 be in the way. II the
animal is kept in the yard the first
step taken is to poison or drug it, and
it becomes, in consequence, source
of danger by creating an unwarranted
feeling OF security A little dog that
banks and runs away when APP
preached is a far better protector
and babies and young children are
even better still. 1t is very seldom
that a boarding school is robbed, and
in selecting a house for operations
the burglar is apt to pass those
which his reliable informant tells
him have babies and young children
among the occupants. When there
is a baby in the house, either the
mother or the nurse is sure to be a
light sleeper from habit, and ready TO
wake up at the faintest sound. Then
there is the chance, which is in itself
considerable, Of the baby waking up
and contributing a general cry to the
entertainment, and altogether il 10
good business to avoid a house wherS
there are young children when amid
night visit is contemplated. The
burglar community is well aware Of
this and acts accordingly. st. Louis

SHAPE OF THE GARDEN.

A little common sense in laying out a
garden will save half the labor of tend
ing it. First let US discard the old
notion that garden must be a little
square plot of ground, with few raised
beds, where all work must be done by
hand or hoe. That is a scrub garden.
| have plan of farmers one-quarter
acre fruit garden. 1t is sixty-six feet
wide and 165 feet long, says N. A.
Thaver. would recommend for vege-
table garden another quarter acre in the
same shape, adjoining on a side or end.
The ground should be thoroughly pre-
pared by covering with barnyard manure,
well plowed in, the top dressed with
rotton manure. This should be thor
oughly mixed with the soil. Thorough
preparation will save much labor, IN
caring for the garden, and greatly in
crease the crop. We should aim to do
all labor possible with the horse and
cultivator, and would therefore stake off
the ground in rows running longest way
for fruit seven feet apart, for vegetables
two or three feet, leaving head land to
get the rows straight, as you can then
cultivate closely, and save much hand

His Crime.

The following eXtra-judicial decis-
lon is said to have been delivered
some years ago by Judge in South
srn city. A man had been brought
before him on warrant for vagrancy.
The evidence was unmistakable, and
The young lawyer defending the man
saw that the case was hopeless.
While badgering his wits to know
what to say, however, he noticed that
his client was fairly well-dressed, and
called the attention Of the court ID
that fact, declaring that no man who
wore good clothes" could with pro-
priety be considered a yagrant, as
that word signihed a ragged, dirty
vagabond. Observing that the court
made a memorandum Of good clothes,
he wisely sat down without further
remarks.
When the prosecuting attorney had
finished what he had to offer, the
Judge, who was blessed with a fine,
rich brogue. said: THE cart, having
ittintiyely hard the iyldince and the
remarks az COUNSEL, is ay the opinion
that. inasmuch as the prisoner wears
cool clothes. he cannot properly be
considered a yagrant; but, as he has
not shown to the satisfaction Of the
cart, how he obtained thin clothes,
I shall bind him over for simple lar
ceny."
