The Limerick Burglary.

There are no additional developments at
present in regard to the robbery of the
Staples brothers at Limerick. There
has been great excitement in all the
neighb orhood, and general concourse
of sympathetic neighbors at the..shouse
for the last few days. AS might be ex-
pected there are many wild rumors and
few real clews. The Staples brothers
have hardly yet recovered sufficiently
form the shock to know how much they
have really lost. They think, however,
that it will be about six thousand
dollars. Deputy Sheriff Samuel S. d.
Plummer has been to Limerick and
looked the ground over at the request OF
the authorities; but so far nothing has
been developed.

The Times in Portland.

Secretary Baker of the Board of Over
seers of the Poor, says that so far as the
work of the board of oversers is concerned
there is little evidence of the hard times
in Portland. The number of people ap-
plying for help is very little in excess this
year of the average of years past. The
truth seems to be that the business of
Portland is of steady and secure kind,
which does not exhibit boom growth,
and yet increases steadily and surely.
Mostsof the Portland industries are going
along well, in spite of the complaints
from other places. Those who have been
to Boston from here looking for work
have brought back the report that times
are rather hard with many out of work.

The Payment of City Taxes.

At the city treasurer's Office yesterday
afternoon the representative of the
PRESS was told that the tax money was
coming in as freely as on other years.
The tax money for this year has been due
since the eighth of this month, and
already forty-fve thousand dollars have
come in. To all who pay by the thirty
first of October discount of one per cent
is allowed, while after that date six per
cent interest is charged on all unpaid
taxes. OF the whole assessment of S742,-
600 last year about $50, 600 was paid SO as
to take advantage of this discount.
There is no reason to doubt that as large
a proportion of this years. assessment OF
SIT, 900 will be in by the last of October.

English Funeral Etiquette.


There is one division of English eti-
quette which strikes an American as
worthy of note, and that is in connec-
ton with the dead. On the day of a
funeral every house in the immediate vi
cinity has the blinds lowered until the
last carriage has passed. Every boy is
taught to lift his hat as the hearse goes
by. whether it be the funeral car Of the
noble or the pauper's hearse.
During the interval between the death
and the time that the body is removed,
often a week, no shouting must be in
dulged in by the children Of the neigh
borhood, and no games must be played
near the desolated home. The merest
acquaintance sends card by a servant
bearing message.of sympathy, but there
ia no intrusion upon the Ihourners ex-
cept by the most intimate friends. Those
who attend the funeral services always
wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves,
and all letters of coincidence must be
written upon black edged paper and in
closed in an envelope to match.
English ladies do not 60 to the grave,
though there have been some notable ex-
captions during the last few years in the
cases Of wives of prominent men. Their
departure from the old custom is one Of
many indications that English women
are preparing to take their rigktful place
in the world-that they are no longer
content to be regarded as helpless crea-
tures-but may the day be far distant
when they shall lose the gentle courtesy
which is the charm of the English home.

An Issue of Bonds by Cumberla nd County.
In another column will be found the
advertisement of the treasurer of Cum
berland county, who has for sale forty
thousand dollars worth of four per cent
Cumberland county bonds. The last

issue it's bonds for this amount to meet
the construction expenses of the new

AS the credit of the county of Cumber-
land is undoubted, the legislature stipu-
lated that these four per cent bonds
should not be sold at less than par.

Much complaint has been made by
hand line fishermen who frequent Back
Bay waters that the pesons who are
using nets are spelling the fishing. 1t is
understood that the law on smelt fish
ing is being looked up, and il
this dragging for smells in the Back Bay
is Illegal, the parties who practice this
method will be prosecuted. The snelt
fishing in Back Bay is q great pleasure to
many people, both old and young. and it

iLL-FLAVORED MILK.

A simple hut Effective Way of Removing
the faint.
When cows are fed on sour or moldy
ensilage, it gives an unpleasant flavor
to the milk. cream or butter, but ii the
milk is heated before setting to 1876 de-
grees this tainted flavor is all removed;
or, if the milk is set without leating
then the favor may be corrected by
heating the cream, when perfectly
sweet to the same temperature, and
the butter will be perfectly free from
the tainted flavor The writer at one
time fed clover that was put in the
silo, whole. and had become moldy at
the outside, the cows eating it eagerly,
but the milk was so badly tainted that
good butter could not be made from it
until the milk was heated as above
stated, when the butter had not
trace of the bad flavor. Tur-
nip flavor may also be removed
by heating the milk before setting.
But the flavor from onions and leeks is
too pungent to be removed by such
heating. When cows have been suf-
fered to drink from stagnant pools in
dry seasons, the milk is not only in.
jured in flavor but in healthfulness.
If such milk is heated to 14O degrees
the ill-havor is dissipated, and the but
ter made from it healthful. 1t also
frequently happens that cows eat more
or less ill-favored weeds in pasture,
giving disagreeable flavor to milk
and butter, but heating is an effoctual
remedy for this.-Farmer's Voice.

IRRIGATION keeps plant food in solu-

would otherwise be the case. When

Land Plaster for Stables.

Prol. Dean, of the Ontario Agricul-

land plaster in stables: 1--WE use
constantly on our floors a liberal guam
tity of land plaster or gypsum, which
has three effects: ~ 1t fixes the am
nor ia and makes the manure more ral-
liable. (2) 1t sweetens the stable, alb
soroing bad odors (S) 1t gives the
stable a better appearance and looks
neat and tidy. In fact, an hour after
our cows are turned out you would
scarcely know that COW had been in.
This is accomplished by a liberal use of
plaster and wbitSwash. Both are
