Some one has lately suggested that II

Mint and Its Culture.

In some gardens mint is regarded
as weed; 1t grows So luXuriantly
and spreads SO much that it en-.
croaches all over the ground. In
large gardens it is often & ven Il great
deal OF latitude, but in small ones it
has to he restr ctcd, This is gencr-
ally done by mailing four boards to-
gcther like frame and planting it
inside this A piece from eight to
twelve feet long and four feet wide
will furnish mint to meet the whole
or the demand OF large family.
Those who complain that mint doe
not grow freely with them should try
IT In this way. The boards should

depth, and. il the soil is raised up
inside half this height and quantity
OF grit or sand, and manure is put in,
it will always grow freely, and by
covering it over in carly spring it will
bc ready very early. Mint may be
raised from seed sown in April, and
it may also lie increased by lifting
the roots and divid ng and replanting
them at once it requires good drain
aye, and, where this exists under it,
a top dress ng of farm-yard manure
may be put over it every spring, or so

Is Ice Cream MIX,

The question, "Is ice cream to be
considered rs milk?' came up III II
Glasgow case of some Importance from
n sanitary point of view, which was
recently settled in the British High
Court of judiciary. Its prominent
features were these; During last sum
mer and autumn some cases of fever
were found to have been caused by
the use of ice cream and at the same
time some very unsavory revelations
were made MS to the manner in which
the manufacture and storage of ice
cream are carried on in English cities,
particularly in the overcrowded and
dirty dwellings of foreigners, into
whose hands the trade has largely
fallen. In order to bring these dea..-
ers under the sanitary regulations np-
plicable to purveyors of milk, the
Glagow local authorities brought n
test case before the Sherifl's Court
and won it; the Sheriff. decision was
reversed on appeal by the higher court.
A man who sells ice cream, therefore,
which consists almost entirely of milk,
with little -four and flavoring, is not
n purveyor of milk i'll the sense which
the English statute requires, and is
consequently not amenable to the law

Idaho's Curious Natural Gas Spring

There isl natural gas spring in Idaho
that is one of the most remarkable
sights ever witnessed. 1t is about 100
miles from Boise City, and it is at the
bottom of canyon. The rock here
seems to be of porous nature, and
there are innumerable small holes and
assures. Riding along the canyon one
day prospecting ] dropped lighted
match, and Immediately bright blue
flame sprang up. This lighted another
and that another and so on, until n
space of about an acre i'll extent was
covered with these flames, each arising
about foot in height. 1t was a
beautiful sight, and the lights were
still burning when / left there. The
find is of no practical value, as the
fact that the gas issues from the sur
face of the earth is proof positive that
