We are about ready to believe that
no school exists but that has in 1t a
half dozen or more pupils who attend
from five to ten days each month, and
those days are so well distributed
through the entire month, that when
those pupils are present they spend
most of their time in "inding where
the lesson begins" Such pupils will
never make any advancement, though
they should have Pestalozzi for 9
! teacher.

FED THE TWINS.

Burglars Were Men of Family and Ready
For Emergencies.
Emil Kohn, whose house at Newark, N.
j., was robbed Of goods valued ~ 500
recently, Is sure that the thief is I. mar
ried man and knows considerable about
the care Of babies.
When tho Kohns went to- bed. they
placed two nursing bottles filed with milk
at the foot of the crib in which slept their
twin infants. 1t was 20 be given them
when they awakened in the night.
They didn't arouse their parents for the
usual repast, however, and when the
Kohns finally did awake they found the
twins contentedly taking the milk from
the bottles They were startled at such u
discovery, but when they became aware
that their home had been entered in tho
night and robbed they reasoned that the
babies must have whimpered, and the
burglar or burglars were bright enough to
grasp the situation and the milk bottles
and thus stop the crying. They had filled
the nursery bottle from tho pitcher just as
some murderous thieves throw poisoned
meat to watchdogs. The twins had bliss
fully attacked tho fresh supply of milk.
They had gone to sleep again, and the
burglars had departed with their booty
without arousing Mr.. and Mrs. Kohn.
They were evidently experienced men Of
family and knew what they were about.

A young man went into !. Brunner' s
Sons jewelry store in New York recently
and said he wanted to have q diamond set

the end of the showcase for moment to
select some stones. AS he turned around
he thought he saw the stranger reach over

He hunted up Central Office Detectives
Cain and Nugent, who are ON duty around
Maiden lane.
The salesman found that two women q
gold watches had been taken out of the
showcase. The young man denied that he
had them, and the detectives searched him.
But the watches we're not in his clothes.

ANDY JOHNSON TO BE SOLD.
The Old Government Vessel viii BE Takcu
From the, I.akAa.

The Old Government Vessel VIII he Takcu
From the Lakes.
The old United Stntcs revenue cutter
Andrew johnson, which has done duty for
nearly 40 years on Lakes Michigan and
Superior, ia to be sold. The vessel Is now
lying ut Milwaukee. Its value has boon
appraised by board of revenue cutter OF!
Cers.
AS soon rs the report IF tho board Of
survey has been turned In to the treasury
department the vessel will be ordered auc-
toned off to the highest bidder. Tho value
set by the board of appraisement will dc.
termino tho lowest figure at which the au-
thor!ties will permit the weasel to be taken.
The johnson commenced its career as a
revenue cuttor ON the lakes In 1859. 1t Ia
almost 9s old es the old warship Michigan.
Like the latter vessel, it is side wheeler,
and has an old fashioned walking bean,
engine. Its speed is about ten knots an
hour. OF late years the johnson has made
It's headquarters at Milwaukee during the
close of navigation. In the summer months
1t has been familiar figure lying of the
lake front at Chicago:
Yhe johnson has rendered service to
commerce on the lakes which in value
would buy, it is estimated, 100 vessels,
and more, of its class. Its worth was felt
more during the sixties, when the lake ma
rine was made up for tho most part Of
sailing vessels. Many is the craft, it is
said, which the old johnson has pulled of
the shore when tugs or other helr were
miles a"ay.-Chicago Tribune.

ing in of manure may depend somewhat
on the crop also. 1t is plain in the case
of shallow rooted crops, like lettuce,
radishes, onions Strawberries, etc., that
the manure is not wanted at the same
level as with parsnips cauliflower and
other deeper rooters. Then, again, sur.
face manuring may, as in the case Of
straw berries, serve an excellent purpose
as mulch in keeping the soil cool and
in preserving moisture.
Another thing, all crops do not need
the same amount Of manure. It is a
poor plan, for instance, to be lavish in
the use Of manure on potatoes and
then slight it on onions and celery.
Among crops that do the better for high
feeding I would place strawberries, cell
cry, onions, lettuce, spinach, beets,
radishes, cabbage, caulilower, squashes
and cucumbers. OF such, the extent Of
the crop is almost measured by the
amount of manure, and 80 to 40 tons
per acre each year is none too much.
The bush small fruits need less manure
than do strawberries, while vegeta.
bles, potatoes, peas, parsnips, carrots,
beans, tomatoes and melons get along
very we'll with one-half the manure
called for by the others named.
