Ar. of Chinese IsurcIars.

The Chinese burglar takes an ingre-
dent of his own, burns it and blows
the smoke through the keyhole of the
bedroom where the master of the house
is asleep. The fumes dull the senses of
the victim just enough to make him
helpless, while at the same time per-
mitting him to see and hear everything
that goes on in the room. The only
antidote against the charm is pure wa
ter, and most of the wealthy Chinese
sleep with basin of this near their

placed in the following order: l, pea
straw; 2, oat-straw; 3, bean-straw,
with the pods; 4, barley.straw; 3,
what-strawi 6, bean-straw, without
the pods. Pea-straw, if properly har-
vested in dry season, is most valu-
able food. and should never be used
as litter. If, however, it has been
much rain ed upon, and, is consequent-
ly dirty and more or less mouldy, il
will sour stock. For sheep it is most
excellent. Horses, too, are very fond
of, and thrive we'll upon it.
OF the white straws, oat straw is
undoubtedly the most valuable for
feeding. but its value depends much
upon the time of cutting. Oats should
be cut when tolerably green, aud al
though part of the grain may be lost
in this way, it is gained in another,
and the straw is in condition most
valuable for stock feeding. Bean
straw, well harvested, is a very hearty
aud nutritious food for cart horses
and cattle during the winter, and here
again the value of the straw is depend.
ent on the time of cutting, says
writer in Farm and Home. If cut
while yet green and before the leaves
have fallen off, we have fodder of
great value; but il allowed to stand
until quite ripe the leaves fall of, and
the straw, besides containing less nu-
triment, becomes so hard and woody
that it is necessary to chaff and steam
it before stock can make any use of it,
Barley straw, especially when mixed
with good proportion of clover, is of
great importance in the economy of
the farm. Barley straw grown in the
South is considered better than that
grown in the North, it being difficult
in the latter portion of the country
to save it in tolerable order, especial
ly with clover. Wheat straw, cut into
chat, is much used for horses and cat
tie. In consuming straw, the inferior
sorts should be first made use of, and
afterwards those of better kind, and

ties of this coarse and dry article, al

food or have an abundant supply of

HARDY WINTER OATS.

Winter oats are one OF the best pay
ing crops that can be grown, writes a
Delaware farmer. Wherever intro
duced they are superseding spring
oats entirely. Oats are essentially a
cool weather crop, and failures either
partial or total with spring oats, on
account of the hot, dry weather of
June and July, are so common that
many farmers are entirely discouraged
from growing them. This trouble is
entirely obviated by substituting win
ter oats. They are sown at the same
time as winter wOeat, and ripen with
wheat the following season, so that
the harvesting and threshing may all
be done at the same time. The variety
We grow in Delaware is perfectly
hardy-aS much so as Futz wheat
and withstands the severest weather
perfectly. On good soil yield of
fifty to eighty bushels is common.
They grow strong, stiff straw, which
stands up well. They are very heavy
oat, measured bushel weighing from
thirty-eight to iorty-fve pounds. l
have known crops of these oats this
season that gave an average OF eighty
bushels per acre on twenty to thirty
acre fields. One and half bushels
per acre are enough to SOW. Winter
oats are also a good crop to seed
clover with. The same fertilization
and tillage that will produce a good
wheat crop will give big crop of win
ter oats. American Agriculturist

TREATMENT OF AN ORCHARD.

The treatment of an orchard is a
subject of importance and should be
well studied. If the land is so wet
that it needs drainage. it is not fit for
use on this account. The land must
then be drained, or the trees will not
thrive. The roots will run into the
drains and choke them, making double
mischief, for the land will soon be as
wet as before and the labor and money
will be lost. Clay land is not the best
for an orchard llghtish, gravelly
land is better, and still more SO if il
is limestone. 1t would be better to
set the orchard far from the house in
lighter land than in clay because of
its nearness. If the land is clay, but
not wet, it may be improved by sub
soiling it; that is, by plowing in the
furrow of a common plow and i'm
mediately after it with bar plow--
that is, one with a long bar like a
coulter that will break the subsoil and
loosen it. This might be done in a
strip between the rows of trees and
about six feet wide, but near the
trees the land should be plowed no
deeper than n few inches, lest the
small roots be broken and the trees
checked in growth. 1t is good thing
for an orchard to be sown with clover
and pastured by swine or sheep

In describing some Of the scenes which he
saw on recent visit " the Washington
almshouse, a correspondent OF daily pa-
por says that ono OF the first mon he met there
had been Rt one time Acknowledgement OF
Virginia. In his oflico q number Of now dis
tinguished lawyers were students, and they
owe much to his advice. His father had
been Attorney-General of the United States,
and left his son wealth. But he drank, and
sacrificed everything TO his love OF intoxl-
eating liquor.
Another pauper was an ox-Judge Of the
Supreme Court Of California, and had been
esteemed one Of the most eloquent men Of
bis time. He came to Washington TO get an
office, was disappointed, took to drink. and
drank himself out Of pocket, mind, and
friends, and into the poorhouse.
In his company was once wealthy news-
paper editor and proprietor OF New York, a
man OF great politicnl influence. THIS man
has been for threo years in the poorhouse.
Sometimes his friends take him out, but he
drinks so much that he lies about the street
and is returned by the police.
Aman who was Stephen A. Douglass in
timate friend, and who used to speak from
the same platform with him. Is a Washing
ton pauper. When fortune smiled upon
him he used liquor as a relish, and when her
smiles turned TO frowns ho took It rs an anti
tode for sorrow. 1t brought him temporary
relief, but permanent ruin.
Coming into tho almshouse, as the corre-
spondent left II, was an old, white haired
man, who was at one time one of the lead
Ing men of the Michigan bar. He was the
man who backed Zacharlah Chandler, and
made him, politically speaking, what he was
And this man, OF great legal ability and

BRAN AS A FERTILIZER.

Thirty odd years ago the late Solon
Robinson, after making some expert
ments with wheat bran and corn meal
rs fertilizers on his lawn, declared
they were fully as cheap for this pur-
pose as any of the commercial fertil-
izers then on the market. Several ex-
periments have been made with bran
and what are called "middlings" as
fertilizers for grass, and with good
results. All planters at the South
know what change has been wrought
within the last two or three decades in
the use of cotton seed, and cotton seed
meal and waste from the oil mills for
enriching the soil for all kinds of
crops. At recent meeting of mill
owners at Louisville this subject of
using wheat bran as fertilizer was
again brought to the fore and highly
endorsed by those who have tested il
practically. If chemical analysis is
worth anything as test of the fer
tilizing value of wheat bran, then at
the price at which it has been selling
for the last year or two it is worth
more than its cost as e-manure. Most
farmers, however, will prefer to feed
it to their animals and then save the
manure. but it cannot be maintained
that anything is added to the value OF
the bran as fertilizer by this process.

STRAW AS FEEp.

The value OF straw for feeding pur-
poses depends almost entirely on the
method of harvesting. The ripper the
grain is allowed to become, tue drier
and less nutritious Is the straw. 1t is
well known that rye-grass hay out be-
fore the seed is ripe is much more val
liable and fetches a higher price than
it does if the seed is allowed to ripen
before cutting. So it is with every
other species of that kind of food.
Hay and straw are practically the
same crop, though cut at different
stages of growth, which is a fact too
frequently overlooked.
When feeding largely on such sue
culent food as roots OF grains, straw
should be given at least twice day,
as it is found that without straw or
hay cattle do not thrive so well. The
different sorts Of straw have. as re-

THE nEsuLr OF A pnINn.

A crowd of men recently went into saloon
at Shamokin, Penn, with Joseph Swartz, to
SEQ him drink quart Of whisky for u wager,
and they emerged in little while bearing
his corpse. 1t was tradition that Swart2
could drink two quarts Of the reddest liquor
at one time, and the question arose as "a
whether he could swallow the quart. Joe
shrugged his shoulders contemptuously.
Without ceremony he ordered the fiery
liquid. Down his throat coursed the stun
aud his eyes sparkled Finally the last drop
was down and Joe cast triumphant glance
at his companions. Then no sang a song
and danced Jig. His brain had been
turned, and he said his nerves tingled as
though thousand needles were pricking
him. Faster went his feet until he suddenly
threw his arms to the air and grow deathly
pale. He groaned, dropped to the floor, and
the merry shouts OF his comrades died into
EXPLANATIONS of alarm. They rushed to hil
side, and he seemed in awful agony, but un-
able to speak. Ho became senseless in a few
minutes, and then died.-Christian Culver.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
rorNrs ron MARKETING.

tt takes experience to learn how to
select prime fruits and vegetables, aud
the young housekeeper finds herself
tue dupe of tho market people agaiu
and again because she does not know
good from bad or fresh from stale in
reference TO edibles A few points
given by market-man himself may
assist her. To start with, there arc
potatoes. Select only those with we'll
filed jackets and free from sprouts I;
avoid those that have wrinkled skin
and are soft to the touch. Nature in
tended that the edible portion of the
potato should, when, in healthy con.
dition, fill its skin almost TO tho burst.
ing point with good, wholesome nour.
ishment An old potato contains very
little that is ft to eat. While they
are cheaper than new potatoes. they
are really more expensive, because the
waste is enormous.
Tn choosing lemons. seek those with
thin skins and that are firm and
full.
The cucumber should he, when
thoroughly ripe, streaked with yellow.
The dark green variety is the doctors
best suta ner friend. In buying toma.
toes, choose the rich red variety, even
if they cost more. A tomato that Is
strenkol with white aul is hard is u
tlavorless morsel. To tell if the tomato
is perfectly ripe, pull out the stem.
IL il comes ont easily aud clean, the
vegetable is in prime condition; if
the stem brings with il some portions
of the inside the tomato is too ripe for
use.
Watermelons. OF course, are always
green, and to tell as to the ripeness
of them aud the condition of the fruit
two tosts are easily made. Tho first
method is to have your dealer cut out
n small plug for your inspection. This
is the truly safe way. Tho other
methol depends ON the hearing.
Thump the sides of tho melon, and il
it gives forth hollow sound the
chances are that it is ripe for the ice,
box, and after it has been twenty-four
hours in the cold to get it thoroughly
chilled you may cut it aud be satisfied
that your guests will bo pleased.
Muskmelons, to be prime, should be
yellow in color. The green musk
melon, no matter how sweet and
juicy, is not in the full perfection of
its flavor, Apples to be absolutely fit,
should have mellow appearance, be
they of the red, green or russet
varieties, and tinged with yellow. Iu
fact, almost every fruit that grows,
when in the best condition, takes on a
hue of yellow as though to tell that it
has received plenty of sunshine to
ripen it.-Trenton IN. J.) American.

THE QUESTION OF PERSONAL n1ours.

Whenever laws restraining the liquor traf-
he are enacted and enforced, tho cry Is usu-
ally raised in certain circles that all such
legislation is an infringement upon personal
rights and liberty, But drunkenness, says q
writer on this phase OF the question, Il a
great public wrong, involving life, health,
prosperity, peace, property, morals, and the
general welfare. What Is its corrective1 The
police power, recognized by the Supreme
Court OF the United States. Said Justice
Mclean; "1ho acknowledged police power
OF State extends often to the destruction OF
property. A nuisance may be abated, every
thing prejudicial to the health and morals OF
q city may be removed"
Said Chief Justice Taneyi "If State
deems the retail traffic in ardent spirits In
furious to Its citizens and calculated to pro-
duce idleness, vice or debauchery, see moth
ing In the Constitution of the United States
TO prevent it from regulating or restraining
the traffic, or prohibiting IL altogether"
Nor docs the fourteenth amendment OF the
Constitution OF the United States impair the
police power of the state. SO says Justice
Field.
And this power Is incapable OF limitation,
says Justice Miller "Upon IT," he says,
depends the security of social order, the
life and health OF the citizen, the comfort OF
existence in thickly populated community,
the enjoyment OF private social life, and tho
beneficial use OF property"
