A man closely resembling a thief caught shortly after by Captain Sowdery, o robbing the house of J. W Deweese, was also seen running from the neighborhood of Noble's residence about 2 o'clock. These facts tend strongly to support Walters' story. The man ar- rested by Captain Sowdery gives his name as James Conners.

Hints and Suggestions. In transplanting or setting out p- berry plants care should always be taken to keep the roots moist. . Blackberries are not always ripe when they are black. Leave themon till they part readily from their stalks. A cow should never be allowed to skip a milking, as the retention of large a volume of milk in the udder will inflame it and injure the quality of the milk, and perhaps the udder also. Select for seceds smooth, large, well- formed potatoes, with shullow eyes, in- stead of the refuse of the potato heap, as is too often the case. Never purchase a hrood-sow the imme- diate progenitors of which have been vrepared tor a show ring. She will lack a strong constitution. For the currant borer cut off and burn the branches upon which they have set- tled. Thisis tLu only sure remedy, and the work must be thorough. There is little doubt that in the near future old storage honsés will be consid- ergd alwios! ndispensable to the fruit- rowers as the ice houses are now to the butchers and dairymen. Foot rot in sheep, distemper in horses and cattle, cough in pigs, and a score of other ailments arise from filthy bar in winter and spring. Prevention i ter than care in thuso cnses. Turning sod under and immediately seeding huwn again by sowing grass seed alone in August, or with grain in spring time, is one of the best and choap- est ways of increasing the hay crop of the farm. ‘Two oilings of harness, except the col- lars, a year is enough; but l‘m collars should b3 oiled every two weeks during the working season, and the sweat and dirt bo removed each morning with a dull knife, Young trees must be mulched as a pro- tection against summer winds and sun, as well as against winter’s frosts; and every mewly set tree should be firml, staked so that it may not be wrcuuhug about by the winds. It is about time that the attention of firmers and all rural people was turned in the direction of decided effort in be- half of prote.tion of insectivorous birds, They should be encouraged in every practicable way. A strawberry grower says some straw- berry plants are naturally barren, and should' be pulled sout and treated s weeds. He goes over the pateh when the plants are in blossom, and pulls up all plants that havamot blossomed. round bone and potash applied to grape vines not enly increase the quan- tity but improvas.the quality of the fruit, adding largely tg thp amount of sugar it contains. ~ For immediate effect in the spring use the djssolyed bone. Trees that are pruned in the center, so as to make them low and spreading, are in far more danger of splitting down when bearing a fall erop of fruit than when trimmed with a strong central stem with good lumbs branching out from it. In getting milk for cream it should be borne in mind that the pans should not be covered, but , remnin open, in order that the air may have free access. Any particlos of milk romaining in tho pans rom previous setting affect the new milk and it is best to allow them to air out-of- doors also. In buying meal do not put it into bar- rels and let'it heat and ‘spoil, as newly ground meal is very apt to do. Ifitis not spread out run” & broom handle into every few inches and let it touch the bot- tom of the barrel. This will leave chim- sor vents through which the heat will escape and leave the feed unhurt.

Experionce of an Omaha Missionary in Pagan Lands—The Apaches of Burmah Revolt and Plunder the People. Ambrose, a missionary written to her brother, G. W.

Of course all was excitement and a lurg company started at once to meet them but came back late in the evening with- out secing them. A night guard was stationed around the vyillage and watch was kept through the day also. The fol- lowing Friday afternoon one was canght just outside the village. He had a large amount of stolen money on his person and numerous charms of little bundles of medicine tied up in his head-dress and around his waist. By threatening him with death he was forced to tell that he had comu: in hiding near and that they had planned to burn us all out the night before but did not succeed.

Why a Train Caunot Travel on a Straight Line Down Grade. w York Mail and Express: ‘“‘Yey may live till the yellow dog fades from history,” said a conductor the Gther night as the train hummed along, “but you'll never see a stryighl railroad down a st hill,”” he ourious passenger with the wart ob his nose rolled up his oyes in aston- 1shment. My dear fellow,” he ex- claimed, staring at the conduector, ‘I do not understand what is to pre a train from running straight down hil! “Just this,”’ continued the conductor; ‘‘euryes are necessary on a very heav, grade. Passengers are sometimes slruc[‘é with the gréat number of curves on the road while it is up among the hills, They imagine the curves are merely nec- essary because tho road winds around the hills, This is only nart:ly true. 1f the railroad were to cross directly at heavy grade it would still be necessary to have the curves. No train can go ata high rate of spoed down u heavy grade on & straight tra c with safety, The ex- planation is sim: The tendency of any heavy body is to move in a straight line, and the attraction of grav- itation is not sufficient to overcome the tendency to shoot off where great speed or momentum 18 obtained, Hence, a train flying down a straight track on the hillside, instead of keeping the track would shoot off on a tangent into space. ““T'he curve,” continued the wise man in the blue uniform, ‘‘is one of the great- est safeguards in mountain engineering, ‘This is particularly noticeable in the case of a freight track. It very frequently ppens that an _engine, drawing u heavy freight train, cannot stick close enough to the track, when gomg down a beayy grade, to control her speed. An en- zine (rning down hill is really more help- oss than the same engine going up hill, That is, she ean pull a greater weight up the hill than she can hold back in gomg down the hill. Itis a very common ex- perience with engineers of freight en- gines to have their ns literally push them down heavy grades ata high rate of speed. 1n such instances every curve is 80 much salvation at the right time. The cur tards the speed and enables the wheels of the flying train to get a firmer ‘purcha on the track.
