A TALK OX THIEVES. Whnt n City Police Inspector Knows about Them. No Bolder than other Men, but Helps! by Timid People's Fears. “Many people have an idea,” said In¬ spector Steers recently, “that burglars, and other lawbreakers, whose line of busi¬ ness is attended with personal danger, are built on a different pattern from the average human being. They are supposed to be without fear and to carry in their natures a large amount of terrifying mate¬ rial, ready to be set off at a moment’s no¬ tice. They are supposed to be rough, gruff and careless of human life. This is true in some instances, but in the great majority of cases thieves differ little in these respects from the ordinary cjtixen. They don’t like to work, arc lazy and their organ of acquisitiveness is not regu¬ lated by a cultivated conscience. It is difficult to understand why a man with a wife and family, who moves in good so¬ ciety, has an income large enough to live in comparative luxury, and is respected by everyone, becomes a thief. He has everything to make his life happy, and yet will give it nil up to have a little more money. It looks a good deal like a disease which comes over a man, and he cannot help giving up to its influence. Prisons are full of just such people. “Thieves when committing crime al¬ ways have in mind a way to escape if de¬ tected. They do not want to be caught or killed. They will take desperate chan¬ ces to get away. If a life stands in their way of escape, they will take it, not as a matter of hatred or pleasure, but as a part of their education and trade. But this in every case is only a last resort, and no thief will add murder to his crime unless certain he can get away. As a rule they are not to be feared. A show of nerve will always unbalance them. This applies particularly to the policc- mun. Even though they know that they have an advantage over a man who wakes up suddenly in the night and finds a stranger prowling around they will re¬ spect and fear him, if he doesn’t show any sign of fright. Scared people help along their business. But a policeman is on an equal footing with a thief in re¬ gard to being awake and armed. If ho¬ is possessed of the real genuine nerve, the case is soon settled, and the thief will us¬ ually surrender without trouble. Bluff will not do. A thief can see a lurking sense of fear in an officer’s heart, und will make things lively if he finds it. A quiet determination on the officer’s part, that indicates a supreme confidence in his owu ability to take his man or men into custody, ns if it was an every day affair, is what takes the starch out of the bold¬ est rascals. “Policemen frequently get into tight places. When they get out of them alive, and think w-hat they have gone through, I have seen the most stout¬ hearted of them shake a little. A good man will never know his danger until it is over. If he should stop to think when there are many chances against him, he would be likely to lose his grit. He must think and act like a flash. Hunt¬ ing for a thief in a dark house is what will try a man. The recollection of places I have been in at times during my long experience as an officer will bring on a chill of fright. I well remember a lively burglar I went after many years ago. An alarm had been given, and I had him located in the second story of a high building. He was calmly picking out the most valuable articles to take away when I surprised him. He was a tall sinewy and slippery fellow, and at the first sound I made he made a leap tvs if shot from a cannon. Up the stairs he flew like a streak, and I went after him. He evidently knew the building; I did not, and hit every obstruction I could find. He gained the roof when I was half-way up the stairs leading to the scuttle, and when I got there I could just see his figure in the darkness going like the wind. I followed him without hesi¬ tation and when he got to the side of the house he stood a second and then jumped, I was going so fast that I went right off the house without knowing where I would land. It seemed in the confusion as if I went down fifty feet, before I struck anything. Then I landed square on my feet with n force that nearly shook my teeth out. I thought for a moment that I had fallen between two houses. I was right on the thief’s heels and before he could take a step, I caught him. I was sore from that fall and I did not put a tender grip on the fellow. He did not struggle and I took him in quietly. The next day I went around to look at the uses ) aQ d found that I had jumped om one roof to another, a distance of little 1 fifteen to twenty feet. I never got its the shock from that jump.

Won l»y an Accident. When we say that something happened from chance wr really mean only that it occurred, without or in spite of previous planning by the men who wished to con- trol events. History knows of empires which have been lost or saved “by acci- dent,” that is, as tlxe result of acts which were not within the control of sovereigns and generals. Ono such case—the story is narrated in the second part of the Greville Me- moirs— was the victory, in 1845, of tho Enelish over tho Sikhs Fcrozeshah. At a critical point in the battle, tho govenor-general of India, Lord Hardingo, who commanded in person, thought tho battle was lost. Believing that his army would be destroyed, and not expecting to survive the defeat, he gave his watch and some other things to one of his officers, asking that they might be con- vcyed to his wife with the assurance that his last thoughts were about her. Just at this time, one of Lord llard- inge’s staff, also in despair, having lost his head, through nervousness or fear, rode up to the commander of the Eng¬ lish Cavalry, and communicated an or¬ der which lie declared he had received, that the cavalry should retreat. The commander asked for a written order; the staff-officer admitted he had none, but spoke so positively as to the instruc¬ tion which he was charged to deliver, that the commander gave the order that his men should retire. The Sikhs, seeing the cavalry drawing off, supposed the movement to be for tho purpose of attacking them on their flank, and cutting off their communications. A , panic seized them and they began to re¬ treat. The English commander-in-chief noticed the disorder in the Sikh ranks, and ordered a charge along his whole line which resulted in the rout of the enemy. Thus a victory which saved India to England was due to a nervous officer who invented an order he had never rc- ceivcd. If the British troops had been defeated, the whole of India would doubtless have risen to throw off the yoke of those whom the Sikhs had beaten in battle.— Youth's Companion. Mississippi Jug Industry. A correspondent of the Atlantic Con- stitution, writes from a Mississippi town as follows: Five perambulating liquor shops have been corralled in Lake county and turned over to the United States Marshal Freeman. The four-mile law flourishes in all its pristine glory at Tip- tonville, and tho amount of “smiling’’ done has been large. The marshal re- ccived complaints from the temperance people of Lake that there was more drunkenness, more hoodlumism and more ruffanism than when saloons were per- mitted; that there were no places where liquor was sold, and yet barrels of it were consumed every month. This pe- culiar statement led to an investigation. It was discovered that whiskey was shipped from Memphis in bottles, jugs and kegs, and in considerable quantity, to Lake county, but the mystery was how jt found its fiery way in to the throat: of the people. The investigation resulted in the discovery that there were saloons in Lake county, about seven in all, and that they were unlicensed, and moved about from place to place. No rent was paid, no shelter being necessary. There was no bar, and yet plenty of bot¬ tles. The proprietors of these gin mills carried their saloons about with them. Their coats were provided with pockets, sewed in the lining, each pocket contain¬ ing a flask. If a Tiptouvillian happen- ed to be dry it was only necessary for him to walk along until he met the most corpulent-appearing man he ever saw, wink his eye and walk behind the near- est house. In a twxnkling a flask and a tin cup would be produced, two or three fingers swallowed, a dime handed over and the saloon moved on in search of other dry men. Useful Hints. When a setting hen is too indisposed to stay on the nest continuously, let her rest alternate days and tie the rooster on the nest while she’s resting. The soot can be thoroughly swept out of a chimney by dropping a goose in it at the top. The goose, in vainly striving to fly upward, thoroughly cleans the chim¬ ney with its wings. By immersing the entire body in soft tar before taking a bee-tree, one can ren¬ der himself invulnerable to the assaults of the bees. You can smoke a rabbit out of a hol¬ low by smoking a cigarette close enough to let the stench enter the hole. The scent of whisky on the breath can be subdued by smearing asafmtida on the moustache. When your bedfellow snores and re¬ fuses to hush, trump up a counterfeit nightmare and straddle his neck, ff this does n’t stop him, kick him out of bed in such a way that his head will strike the floor first. The resulting cere- bral agitation will keep him awake for the rest of the night and give you a chance to doze a little. If you make a habit of keeping live mice in your pockets, your loose change will be comparatively safe from your en¬ terprising wife. If you take a small step-ladder with you into the theatre it will be very ser¬ viceable when the stage is barricaded from view by a big hat. Freckles can be removed from the face j with sand-paper.— Life. i Boycotting j I the Baby. 8he was putting the child to sleep the j other night when her husband exclaimed; “You are the meanest woman I know of. ” “Why, what do you mean?” she re- plied in astonishment. “I mean,” he answered with a mean- : ing glance, “that you have just boy- j cotted the baby .—Boston Budget. j ' TI1E FARM AM) HOUSEHOLD.

Buds will start f rom the potatoes thus treated, but they w j jj be green anti with care in planting will be so much start for the crop. In this way early potatoes may be advanced a or ten days over those planted with seed, planted as taken from the po¬ tato bin. Seeding wltli Clover. There arc many ways of seeding land with grass, including clover. The old method of sowing the seed broadcast upon the land sown with Fall grain, either upon the last snow or the bare ground, and leaving it to take its chance j of succeeding or failing as the character of the soil or the weather might permit, | is one of the vei’y poorest of the methods i in vogue. An improvement upon this plan is to run a sloping tooth harrow j over the grain early in the Spring, and . sow the seed upon the loosened soil, and i then roll the surface to cover the seed, j This is beneficial to the grain, and a bet¬ ter security for a good catch of grass. A still better way is to wait until the grain is removed from the land, and then plow [ and fit it in the best manner for the seed j sown alone, and without any so-called : foster crop. A liberal dressing of ferti- llzpr thcn lnsures a successful catch, un- lcss the weath cr is disastrously hot and | dr perish - v > and under then the circumstances. >' ou,1 « S ra8S wnulrt Some any farmers (the writer included) have found it beneficial to sow a pound of turnip- j seed per acre with the grass or clover or 1 both in August. The turnips may be pulled or not. If pulled, the loosened soil may be given a little fresh seed, but usually the grass is thick enough, the j and the disturbance of the sod only helps the young grass. The smaller turnips arc left to tlie through the Winter, and afford protection bv their leaves to the grass through the Winter, and by their j decay to supply the most useful nutri- j ment in the Spring, when the grass will be greatly benefited by it. | fare of Swine. j E. T. Richards writes as follows to the Cultivator: It should be the aim of farmer8 ia all scctions to remove from pork the quest i 0 nable reputation which it has had in 8ome sect i 0DS . American pork, it is known, is not allowed to enter the markets of some foreign countries. No doubt this prohibition is unjust, to some extent. But we should strive to raise the quality of pork both for domes¬ tic and foreign consumption. Especially in the environs of cities and large towns, swine are frequently confined in close pens on tight floors, literally wading in their own filth and excrements, without a clean spot to eat and sleep. In this condition many of them are compelled to live from their birth to their death. Pork made under j such circumstances cannot be healthy food. Swine need to come to the ground. Contact with the earth has a : health-giving influence. No animal cau i long retnaiu healthy that is wholly de¬ prived of fresh earth, whilc this evil is atcr in cities and villages than elsewhere, yet th?re are some farmers who have plenty of range about their premises, but treat their hogs little better than the city people anil vil¬ lagers described above, producing dis¬ eased pork. The hog is by nature a neat, clean animal. When at large he will seek a clean, dry place in which to make a bed. Nature, reason and common sense dictate that swine, especially if their flesh is to be used by man, should ntti at large through the summer season, eating grass like cattle. Of this latter they arc very fond, thriving upon it. Let them remain more or less in the grass field until driven to the pen for fatten¬ ing. The hogpen should be dry and airy. Let the food be grain, vegetables, fruit and milk, insuring the flesh of such hogs to be healthy and acceptably fat. Many persons who keep one or more hogs can¬ not pasture them, but they cau certainly give them good, airy yards in connection w’ith the sties. Most hogs will keep their dormitories clean when they have yards provided. In the yard the owner should fnrnish the material for his hogs to convert into manure, thus combining health with thrift ! F«nn and Harden (Votes, Wood ashes and plaster make an ex¬ cellent fertilizer for all kinds of grass crops, and should be freely used. Raspberries throw up a great many suckers, and these should be thinned out leaving not over four canes to the hill, so as to afford plenty of room. Wc need to study the habits of insects more. Nearly all the insects which in¬ jure the farmer and fruit grower have their parasites, which would keep the enemy in check if properly encouraged, A good hint for growing cucumbers, squashes or similar plants is to put old sapdust or rotten wood about them, who have never tried cucumbers on strong, bushy stakes like pea sticks will be surprised to note how they enjoy it. Tomatoes do better trained to stout stakes than in any other way. The rasp- hern’, gooseberry and currant, especially the latter, thrive with applications of rotten jwood. The practice of pegging down ever- blooming roses so that they will cover completely the surfare of the bed is known to produce very pleasant results, It is said that pegging down dahlias proves quite satisfactory. Iu breeding stock on the farm do not be tempted to sell tho best, but dispose of the inferior animals first. By carefully selecting and retaining the best every year the value of the stock will be in¬ creased and larger profits secured. The last month or so of a pig’s life has a great influence on the flesh of tho ani- mal. You can put on tho frame all I through the year, but the flavor is laigely , determined by the feeding during the latter period of fattening. The same is true of all animals. An Indiana farmer finds that it is an advantage to mix blue grass seed and other light grass seed with moist sawdust before sowing. He says the grass seed adheres to the sawdust and enables tho sower to spread it evenly. lie uses about three bushels of sawdust to one of grass seed. If farmers who have never tried it will cut their corn fodder and straw finely for their cattle, they will be surprised to \ notice how much better the stock will eat 1 then and how much further the ' same amount of fodder will go than when fed whole. A little sprinkling of meal does not injure it in the least. Man, diseases of swine are contagious, and when an animal is observed to be sick it should be removed from the pen and placed by itself. It would be just as well to keep a watchful eye on the bal¬ ance. Clean out tho pens and troughs, scrape out all decaying matter from un¬ der and around them and use some disin¬ fectant. An experienced beekeeper states that colonies do not suffer from having the hives located near a railway station or machine shops, where there is much noise and smoke. The bees, if brought to the place when quiet prevails, soon become j accustomed to their peculiar surround¬ ings, and “gather honey all the day,” i notwithstanding the noise, jar and smoke. It is a wasteful policy, that of exhaust¬ ing the soil so it will no longer pay the cost of cultivation. The feeding of stock, carting the manure on the land, and proper rotation will keep the soil in¬ tact. Hence it is more profitable every¬ where to feed ail the coarse grains on the farm than to sell. Once the exhaus¬ tive process is begun it becomes every year more difficult to make a change for the better. Iu the reports of several dairy farms of Denmark, in the vicinity of Copenhagen, we note that the yield of each coiv is regularly weighed, and the excellent average of 900 gallons per cow is quite general. When a cow falls below 750 gallons per annum she is led off at once for the butcher. A liberal system of feeding prevails, and the amount of milk required for pound of butter , a vanes from twenty-four to twenty-seven pounds, or about 250 to 300 pounds but- ter per cow. | Ponds arc not good for young ducks. Wet grass, dampness and cold sleeping places will kill young ducks as quickly as such influences will destroy young chicks. Feed the ducks on bulky food. Cooked turnips and pototoes thickened with oat meat make a cheap and good food for them. Give them plenty of water to drink, hut not to bathe in until the down is off and the feathers cover the body. Then you may let them enjoy themselves in the water as much as they desire. Dwarf pears should be planted on r a spot that has a moist, subsoil, either natu» ral or made so by subsoiling or mixing, some material with the soil that will give out moisture in dry weather. Trees al¬ ready planted on a dry, gravelly subsoil should have a circle dug out two feet deep and two or three feet from the tree. This should be filled up with well-en- richcd soil. If the dwarf pear does not grotv freely it is a sign that something is wrong. It should be severely pruned, so as to aid in producing a vigorous growth. To have a fine crop of large, rich cur¬ rants, enrich the ground, make it clean and mellow and thin out the brush. Cut away the old, stunted wood and leave the vigorous young shoots. Let them oc¬ cupy equal distances from each other, and give the bushes in some degree a regular form. No fruit is more neglect¬ ed than the currant, the bushes being al¬ lowed to become enveloped in weeds and grass, and the cnfebled bushes allowed to grow into a mass of brush. The dif¬ ference in the size of the berries raised by the two modes is as one to four. Reclpei.
