Healthy Bank Notes.

The Bank of England never reis-
sues a note. Every bill passed over
it's counter from the inside is crisp
and new, free from bacteria, bacilli,
microbes or any other disease germs.
A London newspaper states that even
if customer should draw a check,
receiving these new bill, and then de-
eide that he preferred coin, the man
in charge of this department would
take the notes, tear corner from
each, and pass over the gold. The
bills are then burned without cere-
mony.
The Bank of Frence also issues only
new notes, but for fourteen years it
has turned the old ones into pulp in
stead of burning them. It takes about
twenty hours to transform them
into black1sh pulp, useful only for
the backs of ledgers or cardboard of
low quality. AS a sanitary measure
this destruction is probably wise, and
in the end may be even economical.
Some of our American bank notes
take on ap alarmingly unhealthy look
before they get into the furnace

Judges of Terrapin Are Scarce.

ST doubt if there ere a hundred
frst-class judges of terrapin in the
United States" remarked a we'll
known dealer in game and fish last
Saturday, as he called attention to a
fresh lot of the aristocratic crusta-
ceans. 81 know this because the
clubs, restaurants and s.hotels use vast
quantities of Texas, Florada and other
common terrapin and serve them as
bonafde diamond backs. The finest
diamond backs range in price from $40
to 800 dozen, and one terrapin,
when properly cooked, will make about
three plates, so that the cost of dish
of stewed terrapin must necessarily
range from 81 to So. so, and whatever
lis charged above these figures repre-
sents the profit. Many a man who
smacks his lips over the terrapin he
gets in a restaurant doesn't know the
difference between that and mud tur
tie, which latter, I dare say, he often
gets. Terrapin is one of the articles
i'll our business which is an all-the
year-round luxury, and has no season. "

time to turn over new leaf. Keep
matches in but few places in the

that combustion cannot go on without

Old stations do well on a diet of one
part oats and three parts of wheat, for
it makes them more vigorous in the
stud, but fat and lazy.
There is a time in a horse life when
wheat can be fed with great success,
and that is as medicine to mare
with foal that is apt to have abortion.
AS soon as the mares begin to get
loose, they should be fed some wheat.
A pint of clean, sound wheat, mixed
with two quarts of clean, sound oats,
should be fed night and morning for
three days By that time the trouble
will stop. Where sucking foal has
the scours a pint Of wheat -four in g.
pail of water will generally remedy
the evil. Sometimes a little wheat
mixed with the feed will answer the
same purpose. Wheat is constipating
and it consequently has its value IN
the feed economy, but it is hardly the
kind of feed we need for our horses as
regular diet.-Germantown Tele-

ECONOMY OF SHELTER,

The time is at hand when the wise
and merciful man will see to it that
his live stock are properly sheltered
and comfort are essential to health
and thrift. If they are not provided
an attempt to supply them will be
made by an increased consumption of
food. This is costly substitute and
an unsatisfactory one, as it cannot
prevent the check which the growth
will receive. Like all substitutes, it
designed, and the animal then grows
sick and weakly.
1t, on the other hand, the animal is
toughened and hardened by exposure,
what is gained? The extra feed he has
consumed is more valuable than the
shelter which would have avoided Its
need, his stunted growth will never be
made up, and the toughening and
hardening of his constitution, on
which SO much stress is often laid, has
resulted in a deterioration in quality.
The natlve steer is harder than the
bhorthorn, but which makes the best
beef? The scrub COW will bear more
exposure than the delicate Jersey, but
which yields the richest milk? It is a
law OF nature that Improvement,
whether IN man or beast, is accom-
panied with certain amount of deli
cacy. If we desire the former we
must be willing to give the necessary
care to counterbalance the latter. -

GOOD WINTER COVERING FOR ROSES.

Lay down your hybrid perpetual
roses, and cover them in some way,
writes E. E. Rexford. I find nothing
better than leaves, but if you cannot
get these use hay, or straw, or ever
green branches. I have often win
tered plants finely by simply covering
them with soil This answers very
well if there is good drainage about
the plants, SO that water is not re-
tanned in the soil long enough to in
jure the wood of the branches. But
the better way is to lay the branches
down in a close mass, all pointing one
way, and set boards six or eight inches
high, on each side. Fill in between
the boards, and over the bushes with
leaves, upon which place evergreen
branches to prevent their blowing
away. Hay and litter will not require
anything to hold them in place, but
it is a good plan to lay boards over
the whole in such manner as to shed
rain. American Agriculturist.
