Science as a Detective.

From petty thievery we are never
exempt, and while as rule it Is only
vexatious it sometimes requires the
ability of Sherlock Holmes for its
detection.
A gentleman in this city doing bust
ness in one of our Office buildings was
annoyed from time to time by the
mysterious disappearance OF choice
fruit which he had laid by on his
desk for his own delectation, and the
situation became grave enough for III
vestigatiou. Was ii Office boys or
ianitors? Then occurred a bright
idea. Doses Of tarter emetic deity
inserted under the rind of several
choice oranges might be the means OF
locating the culprit. No sooner
though of than executed. Result, a
very sick ]anitor the next morning
and vacancy in the ianitorship.
The Berlin newspapers have lately
been telling with great glee OF like
triumph of science over crime.
In one of the great offices OF the
German capital a number OF petty
thefts had been committed, the pockets
of coats hanging in anterooms being
visited and cigars and small change
distracted. The police were for a
time nonplused and invoked the aid
of science. A professor being con-
suited, ne advised the insertion OF a
delicate aniline powder in the mouth
end of sore cigars to be placed at the
mercy of the thief. The next morn
ing a summoning of the clerks and a
general inspection of their mouths:
One unhappy youth was discovered
with aniline tongue and lips! Verdict
guilty. Little scientific traps will
sometimes beat even the police

Manure from Straw.

There is far less superstition than
there used to be among farmers about
the advantage Of keeping the straw on
tine farm 10 be rotted down rs manure.
What is needed as bedding for stock
should be kept, Of course, but the
greater economy with straw used for
this purpose, the better the manure
pile will be, and the greater the far
mer's profit. Farmers who grow large
amounts OF grain cannot use mp one
hall or onc-quarter the straw their
farms produce. This straw should be
sold, and either stable manure or
commercial fertilizer be purchased
with the money. Grain farmers who
live near cities or large villages can
often supply owners of horses with
straw for bedding or for feed, and take
their pay in the manure made from
the animals fed. AS horses or COWS
will eat some hay and grain as we'll as
straw, this is always good bargain
for the farmer who can dispose of his
straw in this way.

his escape from the one of the Safety
Islands called pIle du Diable out of
the question. Nevertheless, about
two years ago a story obtained circula-
ton that Dreyfus had escaped from
the island through the instrumental
ity of his devoted wife, who was
known to have gone to Cayenne.
That this story should have obtained
belief seemed absurd, in view Of the
fact that the poor Jew on Devils ISL
and was more closely guarded than
was Napoleon at ST. Helena. No boat
or vessel was allowed to approach
within fifteen cables of the island,
which is about twenty-seven miles
northeast of the town of Cayenne.
Tie island was formerly q leper settle
ment. Dreyfus has been for over
three years its chief If not its only
prisoner. \ dozen other Frenchmen
are made miserable in order to keep
him there. The climate is probably
the worst in the world, and it is sup
posed Dreyfus's accusers hoped it
would drive him to suicide.
The world, if not France, might
perhaps have forgotten about Dreyfus
if ZoIa had not taken up the cudge!s
for him last December and challenged
the verdict of the court-martial which
had been presided over by Count Es-
terhazy. Zola was too late. By this
time it was not the guilt or the inno-
cence of Dreyfus, the Jew, but the
honor of the French Army which was
at stake. The French Government,
discerned this, hence the scant justice
with which Zola was treated. Even
Dreyfus got more. ''Spit on Zola, !"
represented the attitude Of the Govern
ment, as it did that of the Paris popu-
lace. Frances most popular novelist,
although not in the Academy, is now
in exile-he concluded it would be
useless martyrdom to serve the sem
tence of his second trial.

Currants From Cuttings.

This fruit is very easily grown from
cuttings, ana for that reason it would
seem unnecessary that anyone should
be without currants. To get start
l purchased a few choice bushes of the
most reliable varieties, set them in
rich soil, and by giving extra culture
during the summer, secured several
hundred cuttings that fall.
cut the sprouts, after growth is
completed and leaves have fallen,
about nine inches long, tied them in
punches of fifty, and heeled in for a
few days for the raw cut to callous
over. In taking the cuttings, I took
particular care as to the shape in which
the old bushes were left. One must
exercise considerable judgment in this,
by noting the strongest buds, and
cutting back so as to leave three or
four upon each branch, and taking
out all stray laterals. 1t is possible
to so train bush that it will grow
symmetrically, and will also produce
fine fruit, and must be much longer
lived, if this practice is followed each
year.
1 cut the wood as diagonally as
possible, thus giving a sharpened end
to each cutting, which makes it easier
to insert them in the soil. The
ground, previously we'll manured, is
plowed nine or ten inches deep. I
trench rows three feet apart, and six
or eight inches deep. In the bottom
Jf these trenches l stick the cuttings,
about four inches apart, and at an
angle Of forty-fve degrees along the
row, leaving abont an inch of the tops
protruding above the ground. In fill
ing the trenches 1 take extra care to
firm the soil at the bottom of the
trenches about the cuttings. 1 use a
tamp made from 2x6 inch oak stick,
three feet long, fastened to handle.
1t is well to ridge the rows little, so
that no water may stand and freeze
about the cuttings. Then when the
ground begins to freeze cover lightly
with coarse mulch of manure to pre-
vent heaving out-B. A. Wood, in

Asparagus From the Seed!

Asparagus will grow on most soils,
and will yield large crops upon stiff
soils; but for the grower for market,
light sandy soil OF fair fertility is much
to be preferred, both because of the
earliuess with which it produces
spears and the ease with which it is
cultivated. One pound of seed will
produce about 5000 sprouts. and
should be sown in rows about fifteen
inches apart and II inches deep; so
.thinly should the seed be sown that
the plants will not stand closer than
l! or two inches, and these should
afterward be thinned to about three
inches apart, care being taken to leave
the strongest and most thrifty shoots.
Careful wedding and hoeing are
needed through the growing season
and in dry weather irrigation will
greatly increase their growth. Water
ing between the rows with liquid man
ure is great assistance to the young
plants, which must be in good condi-
ton for setting out in the beds early
in the spring. In selecting the crowns
it has been found better TO take those
with few, but well developed buds
and plenty of roots, rather than those
with numerous buds. One year old
crowns are to be preferred, and at the
end of three years they produce much
more than the older crowns. Bull.
81, U. S. Dept. Agr.l The area
selected should be plowed in the late
fall or early winter to depth OF at
least fifteen inches and then covered
with good compost or manure.
Spring is the best time to plant,
although it can be delayed until the
last of June. Rows should be marked
off four to six feet apart and opened
up with a large plow eight to twelve
inches deep. In these burrows the
crows are set, at distance varying
according to the opinion of the grower,
from eighteen inches to five feet. Rows
should be run north and south, SO
that the full benefit OF the sun may
be secured. Careful wedding and
loosening of the soil are necessary
throughout the entire season. In the
fall, when the tops are mature, they
should be cut, hauled off and burned,
and part of the soil over the crowns
removed, so that not over two or
three inches remain, that the frost and
rains may penetrate the soil. Early
in the spring, when plants are old
enough to cut, there must be ridge

harrow was run lengthways of field
and killed any weeds that may have
escaped the cross narrowing. After
this we used a fourteen-tooth culti-
vator as often as we thought necessary
to keep the weeds down and the
ground loose. For a dry season we
would follow the cultivator with the
weeder to level the soil and hold
moisture, but this year we have had
more moisture than was needed, so
the fourteen-tooth plow was sufficient
to keep the weeds down and the
ground loose. You who plant pota-
toes try and leave ridge over the row
to harrow down and thereby kill the
weeds that want to grow in the row,
and you will have won a battle you
will be proud of, and your potatoes
will be easily kept clean the rest OF
the season. n.-Chas. L. Berry, in

Simple MIX Tests.

A quick test of milk is to mix II well
and then pour it from glass Pure,
unadulterated milk will leave q thick
coating on the inside Of the glass,
while watered or SKINNED milk will
run out cleanly. Good milk should
contain twelve to fifteen per cent. Of
cream, and the percentage of cream
can be estimated in this way: Take
a long, narrow bottle, with capacity
of six or eight ounces. Paste on the
outside strip of paper, half an inch
wide, running from the neck to the
bottom of the bottle; divide this strip
by pencil marks into ten equal parts,
fill the bottle to the five mark with
milk, and then to the top of the paper
with water at heat which will just
allow the hand to be inserted without
causing pain, and to which so much
soda has been added as would cover
the end of penknife. Shake well to
mix thoroughly, and place in an ice
box. In half an hour observe how
much cream has risen, and measure
this off on a piece of paper; double
this distance and then see what part
of the total length of the paper strip
on the bottle this is. Ii it is one
twentieth the milk only contains five
per cent. of cream; if one-tenth, then
it contains ten per cent; if one-ffth,
then it contains twenty per cent, and
so on.-Philadelphia on. Times.

White Bed Coverings.

Out Of date completely in the best
furnished houses of New York and
it's suburbs are white coverings for
beds. With the going out of fashion
of these white coverings pillow shams
have gone, too. To the opposite ex-
treme has the tendency gone. Beds
are this season being covered with
stuffs of a medley of colors, the only
limitation being that these colors
must be soft and subdued and tho
pattern the reverse Of glarinS.
An Indian shawl is the one eZ-
tremely proper covering. One bed,
at least, in modern household,
should have all its white hidden be-
meath O shall of this sort. If only one
of these is obtainable the other beds
sho ,ld be adorned with stuhs some
what like this. Pillows are very
small at present, and these should be
covered with covers of Indian silk of
subdued tints, the general tones har-
monizing with those Of the shawl or
the stufFs.
Yet another bed covering of popu-
larity and of very good form consists
Of a soft dimity that is selected to
match the colors of the room. Widths
of this are sewn together to make the
spread, and over the pillows during
the day there are placed slip covers Of
the same material, decked with either a
single rufie going all around the pill
low, or else a single rufle edged with
lace.-New York Herald.

Good Help.

It is not economy on the part OF the
farmer to hire cheap labor on the farm,
during the busy season at least. In
harvest the work goes on with rush
and push from start to finish, and each
man should be competent to do his
duty without having to be watched or
directed too frequently. 1t is some
times hard to get the best when farm
help IS hired by the year. Good help.
can't be picked up just any day we
need it, and it seems that it is getting
scarcer every year, partly,we suppose,
because the requirements of the farm
are greater than they used to be.
Muscular strength counts for much
less than it formerly did; skill and the
technical knowledge needed to do
things easily count for lauch more
than ever before. 4 man awkward
with tools may do more damage in an
hour than his wages will come to in
week. The most of the help we pick
up that is roaming around is worth
little or nothing when we put it to op-
Grating any sort of complicated ma
chinery on the farm. In fact, man
must possess some degree of intellect
and skill to do good ploughing, es-
pecially at this season, when the
ground is hard and dry. If the help
is to be boarded in the farmers fam
lily its moral character deserves some
care. Tramps and strangers who roam
the country, getting in one or two
days work here and there where a
good soft job presents itself, or when
driven by hunger or poor clothes to
get down to hard labor, cannot be de-
pended upon in any sort of emerg;
ency. Just when you need them most
such fellows will find some excuse to
leave you. We think that, so far as
possible, farms should have help hired
by the year or season ana depend very
little upon extra help. The profits Of
the farm depend greatly upon doing
work we'll and at the proper season,
and without good help the farmer is
apt to drop behind with his work or
neglect something.-Farmer's Guide

smallpox and Cholera in India.

It appears from the vital statistics
of our Indian empire for 1867, just
issued, that the year in question
showed higher rate of mortality from
smallpox than any year in the last de-
cade. Some idea OF what this means
may be gathered from the return OF
1916 deaths from this cause, as
against only 54,979 in the previous
year and 43, 623 IN 1S94-'5. Yet this
only represents less than two-thirds
per cent. of the registered population,
while cholera, which in 1867 was
not more than ordinarily deadly, car
ried off over two per cent. land "fever'
over twenty per cent. of registered
population of some 217 millions.
