REMARKABLE RECOVERY.

Ihe Proceeds of q Bank Robbery Re-

In June, 1874, took place one of the
most remarkable bank robberies ever
perpetrated i'll London, and, although
the notes We're recovered, the mystery
surrounding the affair remains unex.

amounting to 100000 were stolen from

extensively published, and Il reward of
$4,000 was offered for them,
All these efforts proved unsuccessful.
and even an offer of Il free pardon to tho
offender did not have the desired result,
Inc reward was afterward reduced t.
Sl2,5U. and the affair had almost been
forgotten by the public when the news
was received that the notes had been
returned. Shortly after the bank OF
england commenced business on Satur
day, September 20. 1S47, a parcel was
received through the post, and on being
opened was found to contain the whole
OF the stolen notes. A letter accom-,
panied the parcel requesting that the
notes should be placed to the account of

The Caro- of Seed Potatoes.

: :, Every potato grower should have the
seed potatoes for his next crop saved
while digging the present one In this
way he can choose tubers from the hills
that have strong, vigorous growth and
can be depended OH to transmit this
tendency. Much depends on keeping the
seed from premature sprouting. One
of the best prcventives of this is to ex-
pose the potatoes to light and air as
much as possible. This may turn the
skin green: and spoil the potatoes for
eating, but makes them better for seed.
Until really cold weather comes the po-
tatoes need not be put in pits but they
should be just about the time the ground
freezes. They will keep much better in
a pit than in cellars which are always
kept at too high and uneven Il tempera-
ture. If the potatoes are exposed to
sunlight until nearly green in the fall.
and then buried in pits they will be
free from sprouts in April, when
they should be again got out and ex.
posed to sunlight before being planted.
Potatoes treated thus make much more
vigorous growth and produce an earlier
crop than those managed i'll the usual
Way.

InsOIeS for Horses.

We saw a lot of old used up leather
belts in scrap leather store the other
day, and on inquiring as to their dispo-
sition were informed that good por-
ton of them would go to the farrier's
for insertion between the horses hoof
and the shoe. Any pieces of sufficient
thickness were used for making flexible
insoles, but the ordinary run of old belt
ing will not answer for the purpose.
One would not suppose, when he sees a
blacksmith put Il piece Of leather be-
tween the shoe and hoof, that the sup
plying of the leather material was a
regular branch of business. It. is only
another illustration of how dependent we
are upon little things, the existence of
which we hardly think of.-Boston Com

Selecting Seed Corn.

While husking corn keep lookout for
the finest and largest ears well filed to
the point, and all the better if grown on
a stalk bearing two ears. These should
be left with part Of the husk attached
and strung up in dry, warm place. The
old plan Of hanging the seed corn from a
rafter by the chimney in the garnet is u
good one. The heat from the stove or
furnace will dry out these ears before
the weather turns cold enough to freeze
them. Seed corn that has never been
frozen is well worth SIS II bushel when
planting time comes. Even if the seed
from the corn crib will grow its gerIninat-
ing power has been weakened, and it will
not make SO strong early growth as that
which has been carefully saved. The crop
this year is generally we'll ripened. If
the seed is duly cared for it will do much
to insure a large corn crop and increasing
prosperity to the country next year y.

Keeping Potatoes Two Years.

1t is possible, by keeping potatoes in Il
place too cool to terminate, and by cover
ing them with something to exclude air,
to keep potatoes into the second year. We
have seen it done. though the potatoes
with the best of care were not equal in
quality to those freshly dug. OF course
it will never pay to keep potatoes in this
used within the year, except that in years
of great abundance the substance of the
potato in the form of starch may be ex-
tracted. In that state the surplus of one
year may help to supply the deficiency of
several Years to come

Dirty Eggs will Not Keen.

In laying down eggs for winter use
care should be. taken to see that they are
perfectly clean. The shell is porous and
the doors of any filth attached to it quick
ly penetrate to the interior and begin the
process Of decomposition. It is impossible
to keep eggs many months and have them
exactly like fresh eggs. The evaporation
from the egg robs it of moisture, though
this is largely prevented by immersing the
egg i'll lime water. But all water except
that which has been just boiled contains
some air. Packing eggs in salt will keep
them for short time, and it is the east
est and cheapest way for keeping them
