TWO LAWTERS And Very Common Cinnamon Bear Meet. i )m f.a.flnll nf Sonoma county, not tnany miles from the town of l'etaluma, there is a neat cosy country house, built Mi a knoll. It is covered with climbing roees, white, pink antl yellow, carefully trained, and the foliage and blossom is here and there intertwined with jessa mine and English honeysuckle. From a broad portico in front of the building one obtains a view that is enchanting. At the foot of the grassy slope that leads to the dwelling runs a silvery stream, in the pools of which disport the beautiful rjid speckled trout This place, one of the most pleasant in that section of the ?ountv, is the home of the Lawlers, the parents ol Judge Lawlers, of the police ?ourt of San Francisco. Whenever the Judge seeks relaxation from official rares, he takes a run up to that home to inhale pure country air and expunge from his lungs the foul dust-laden at mosphere of his court. One .Saturday j few weeks since he started Sonouia ward, and on the train fell in with one of the legal lights who practice in the criminal courts a gentleman noted for the eloquence which time and again h:is entranced the occupants of the back seats of the police courts. "Judge," said Judge Lawler, extend ing the hand of friendship to him, -on the way into the country for a little out ing?" "Yes, Your Honor," resinded the partv addressed, who. at one time, hung over the door of a primitive shanty in Carson, in the early days of the Corn stock excitement, shingle, on whuh was traced in rude characters, the awe-iuspiring words: "Oflice of the Jus tice of the l'eace. M. Hums, Justice." "If you have no particular objective point, and would like to stay over Sun dav," said Judge Lawler, "come with me. and if vou are fond of hunting, we'll go up ill the hills to-morrow and seek the jack rabbit, the cotton-tail, and if we d..n"t liapien to sight a deer, we mav run across a bear." "Judge, vou honor me; I was about to offer an excuse, but when you spoke of the possibilities of meeting a lear, then vou touch me in a tender sjHit, and I will" avail myself of your kindness," said Judge Hums, his rubicand face shininz with smiles. "1K you know, Judne' continued he, "that if there is anvthing u,oii which I pride myjself it is 'bear hunting. I have spent hours following the trail of some monster bruiu in the canyons of the Sierra, and Indian like liave sneaked up to him and plunged the deadly bowie into him or sent a bullet from a Minnie rifle or six shooter crashing through his brain. Oh, it's glorious sKrt. Just show me, Judge, where there is a bear trail and I'll show you some rare sport." The journey was finished, and bright and early on Sunday the two jurists started on their morning preregriuations through the shady wildwoods iu the rear of the Lawler home, each carrying arms of the most improved pattern." "There, vour honor," said Judge Burns, suddenly striking an attitude and bringing a rifle en jeu, "rtuit's the Iosition to strike when you see a Ix-ar." "And as vou seak," said Judge Lawler, "if I am not mistaken, there is a bear trail on the road in front of us." "Them's bear prints," said Judge Burns, who got down on his knees to examine them. While speaking he chanced to raise his head, and fifty vards from him, moving leisurely aloi.g, he saw a bear of the cinnamon species, and, without changing his position, ut tered in an undertone, "Judge, run to cover, the bear's coming." Judge Lawler crossed the road at a jump, and never stopped till he reached the top of the most convenient pine On his way up, finding that a fowling piece was "an incumbrance in lively climbing, he allowed it to drop to the ground. When he Lad reached a place of safety and was resting from the exer tion of ascending without a ladder cr steps, he looked around for Lis valiant companion, the great bear hunter of the Sierra, and failed to see the Judge, but observed on the ground at the joii)t, where he had last seen the irresisRible nirnrod, the rifle which the Judge had carried. Close to the discarded weapon was the cinnamon monster with the sliaggy coat, pacing the road from one side to the other. Judge J-awlcr's first thought was tliat the bear had swallow ed his companion, but almost simulta neously his fear3 were relieved by the voice of his vanished companionexclaim Ing, in frighteued tones. "For f Jod's sake, J udge, don't move, or he'll be up the tree alter us." Turning iu the direction of the voice, Judge Lawler saw the ninirod of the Sierras astride of a branch of an adja cent oak, which was quivering like au aspen. "Why don't you shoot him?" queried the police Judge. "I can't," came the tremulous au- ca-cir- 'kmc rifl ill litP roilil mid lllV pistol dropied out of my pocket as I v. ;is makinz for this branch. I wonder if he can climb?" Iiwt tl.f-n tin- l-:ir nut Ins naws against the tree and reared up as if about to answer me question, anu uie nimrod of the Sierra fled ui with a yell to the topmost twig of the oak, where he hung like a woodjiecker. Several hours were sjient in this delightful fash inn wh itirist wild'.v huDririnir his tree. while the bear passed from one to the other, ever and anon making a ieini to climb, and once m a while amusing himself by pawing the firearms that lay on the ground. At length, just as the brute took a notion to move out of sight in tlie brush, a farmer was seen coming down the road, and he was hailed with "Ah, there," to wlucii came me wen tnnun mnlv. "stav there." "Tliat's just what we don't want to do," remarked Judge Uurns. 4,Mavl some of vou fellers haven't seen a cinnamon bear around here, have you.'" asKeu me xarmer. "ifavlie we have." mournf ullv reiilied Judge Burns, "and maylie we haven't been kept up here for three hours by flint fpriyinns ltrnf '' 7'he farmer chuckled and then called out: "Here. Jim: here. Jim." whereuixm the bear started in his direction the same as a pet dog would have done, and me ianner mnieu ionoweu ny ins uear, but before going he remarked: "Gentle men, that's a pet liear 1 raised since a cub, and he wouldn't hurt a baby. I'm much obliged to you tor not having shot at him. Good day." The two jurists descended from their places of safety, and registered a solemn vow to preserve the story a grim secret all the days of their liven; but somehow it got out!

I W associate the name of stockings and of hosiery in general with the fabri cations of knitted underwear, but stock ings were worn long before meartoi knitting was used as an aid in the manu facture of textiles. The ancient Greek and Koman ladies wore no stockings of any kind, sandals and buskins being the onlv covering worn on the feet There were no manufactured stockings in the days of Oieen Clotilde and of Bertha, the first Christian (meen of England. A strip of cloth or woolen siuu was wrapped around the feet and up to the and held in tlace by strings or straps, laced like our shoe-strings. Such stockings were often worn by actors of a generation ago when iersonauug 4 h-ieinallv the covering for the lower half of the body was all made in one piece, thereafter divided in two at the knee, but still of the same coarse mate rial, and called "trunk hose." The first manufactured stockings were cuiuisj m fabrication and of the coarsest material. Luxurv had its influence upon stock ings, however, as upon other articles of clothing, and the richest, cioms ere sulisequently used in their manufacture, and often thev were ornamented w ith gay embroidery. Henry me m, oi England, upon the marriage of his sis ter Isabella to the Emperor Frederick II, presented her with a pair of cloth stockings embroidered in gold. PearU were sometimes fastened upon them, and as much taste and art were extend ed upju their ornamentation as ladies apply to the same articles nowadays. Cloth stocking went out of fashion after awhile, and knitted stockings graduallv came into use. The art of knitting" is the youngest of all the im portant textile manufactures, and, coni lored with the others, its origin is quite modem. Xo certain allusion to the art occurs before thc.beginning of tlie Fif teenth Century. In an act of Farlhi mcnt of Henry VII, 11, "knitted woolen capites" are mentioned. It is supposed that the art was first practiced in Scotland, and thence carried into England, and that caps were made bv knitting some years be fore the more dillicult feat of stocking making was attempted. In an act of Edward VI, 15o3, "knitted hose, knit ted ietticoats, knitted gloves and knit ted sleeves" are enumerated, and the trade of hosier is among others, inclu ded in an act dated l.V3. "King Henry VIII." says the Chron icler Stowe, "you shall understand, did only wear cloth hose, or hose cut out of ell-broad taffetta, unless by great chance there came a pair of silk stockings from Spain." "King Edward VI," had a pair of Spanish silk stockings sent him as a great present" The first silk stockings made in Eng land were knitted by Queen Elizabeth's silk-woman, Mistress Montague, who presented her Majesty with a pair of black silk ones, w hic h she liked so well that she kept the donor knitting silk stockings as long as she lived. Before the end of her reign stockings were made of silk, iarusev. worsted, crewel, or the finest varn and thread that could be had, and Stubls remarks that the ladies were "not ashamed to wear hose of all kinuJ of changeable colours, as green, red, white, russet, tawney and else w hat not, cunnmgly knit and curi ously indented in every point with quirks, clocks, open seams, and every thing else accordingly." Tlie fashion thus introduced by royal t v was soon adopted by the under ranks. The first ier who indulged in silk stockings was that William Herbert, called the "proud Earl of Pembroke." Prouder than ever, we can fancy mm in the davs of trunk hose, long-waisted doublets and huge ruffs, appearing at court in his new aud fashionable knit hose and perhais dancing a measure with the "virgin Queen," her head cov ered with feathers, her feet glittering in gold and silver embroidered slippers, weal ing her black silk stockings as she coquettishly raised her brocaded skirt and shook her ieet in me uance. In l.'iS'j William Lee, Master of Arts and fellow of St John's College, Cam bridge, invt nted a stocking frame. Lee was born at AVoodlKrough, iu Notting liamshire. and is said to have been heir to a good estate. Tradition attributes the origin of his invention to a pique he had taken against a townswoman w ith whom he was iu love and who it seems neglected his passi .n. She earned her livelihood by knitting stockings, and, with the ungenerous object of deprecLi tmg her employment, he constructed this frame, first" working at it himself, then teaching his brother and other re lations. He practiced his new Invention some time at Calverton, a village alxmt five miles from Nottingham, and either he or his brother is said to have worked for Queen Elizabeth. The other stock ing manufacturers used every art to bring Lis invention into disrepute, and it seems they effected their ptiriose for that time, as he subsequently removed from Calverton ami settled at IJouen, in France, where he met with great pa tronage. The murder of Henry IV, of France, however, and the internal trou bles that followed that event frustrated his success, and he died at Paris of a broken heart Stowe says that Iee not only manufactured stockings on his frame, but "waist-vats and divers other things." King J;uiies I, it is said, not only wore silk stockings, but was so fond of mem that he lowered his kingly dignity so far as to ask one of his courtiers to lend him a )air. That was royalty going a-bcgging with a vengeance when we n-ad n a letter still extant of how the King asked for the loan of the "scarlet hose with the gold clocks" on one occasion when he desired to give the French Ambassa dor an ''extraordinary idea of magnifi cence." It was a fancy with stjne lovers of the olden time to have stockings made from their ladies' hair, they desiring, I sup pose, to liave their feet as well sa their hearts to be entangled in the meshes of their mistresses' tresses. It may not 1 out of the way in clo sing to state that the term "blue stock ings" was applied to the habitues of Mrs. Elizabeth Montague's evening par ties, who flourished about 1700. Those iar tics were made up of actors, wits. ' authors, divines, painters and beautiful j and gifted women. Johnson, Garrick, lleyiiolds, Horace Walpole, Hannah More and Mrs. Burney were often among the guests. By the side of the learned Elizabeth Carter was seen the brilliant Mrs. Boscawen, whose hus Iwiid, Admiral Boscawen, glancing at Dr. Stillinglleet's blue stockings that learned divine being an oddity and a sloven gave those meetings the name J of the "Blue Stocking Society," merely meaning th.it the full dress then de rujucur was to be disiensed with in the evening. "Oh," cried a French visitor, catch ing up the expression, ''Lea has Ileus," and the sobriquet is still applied to all who assume a literary character. AriificUil ivory exhib.teJ at the Am aterdamExliibitionis stated to have been produced from the bones of sheep and waste pieces of deer and kid skins. The bones are macerated and bleached for two weeks in chloride of lime, then heated by steam along with the skiu so as to form a fluid mass, to which a small quantity of alum is added. The mass is then filtered, dried in the air, and al lowed to harden In a bath of alum, the result being white, tough plates, which are more easily worked than natural ivory. taru wots; 3. Newly planted trees usually have a struggle for existence this month. It will bo wise to mulch these ueiore ary weather begins. The object of a mulch is to prevent evaporation of moisture from the soli, hence litter of any kind, chip-dirt, or even stones, will answer. If the surface of the soil ot the orchard can be frequently stirred and kept light, this will answer the same purpose as mulching. Early varieties of apples and pears keep but a short time after they are gathered, and are readily bruised. If assorted and properly pack ed in crates they are often more profit able than later kinds. The greater the distance from market, the harder should peaches be when gathered. The fruit should still be firm when It reaches the market If strawberries are In rows, remove the mulch cut off the runners, and give a dressing of fine manure or some good fertilizer; pull up any weeds that are in the rows, and return the mulch to keep down weeds. If the soil can be kept cultivated the mulch need not be returned until cold weather. As soon as pot-layered plants are well estauusuea set mem out, coutuiao w laer thein. Thinning the fruit to the extent of one-third or one-half will pay with choice apples and pears. Blight attacks without warning; cut away the nranch, or tree, as me case may oe, au bum. One of the most troublesome In sects in hot weather is the ao-called red raider of the ereenhouses. It is es pecially bad upon pear trees, causing the foliage to turn brown.

Cut out old raspberry canes as soon as the frnlt is off; allow only as many shoots to grow as are neeueu iui fruiting.

J i ne grape msecm at season are mostly large and may be hand-picked. Stock should be fed a variety of fool. Many flocks and herds have to subsist almost entirely upon grain food the entire year, which is an injudicious mode of feeding. Vegetables, either raw or cooked, or mixed with ground grain, are excellent, but there is noth ing equaling a liberal supply of grain morning and night, with plenty of grass during the day, and if the pasture Is supplied with a mixed herbage so much the better. Variety conduces to health and promotes thrift Weeds are only plants out of their proper place, and therefore the most useful forms of vegetation may be so situated as to be pests. Several of the showy flower garden plants, when they escape from cultivation, become trou blesome weeds. A rose-bush may be so much out of its place in a cornfield as to deserve to be treated as a weed. There are, however, some kinds of plants that should never be found grow ing in the soil of any farm or garden. Such plants are tlie weeds, strictly so called, and ones that usually need the most attention during the season of crop-growing. It has been found that trees are long est lived when kept in sod. When the soil is cultivated the trees, especially in a rich soil, will often make a rank growth of three or four feet The wood will be soft, and, as it generally fails to ripen, the growth will be killed during the winter. In clean, open soil, too, the freezing and thawing of win ter is more injurious than if the ground is covered with a good sod. The best rule is to consult the appearance of the tree, and if the growth is too rank throw the land into grass, and keep it In sod so long as it makes a good growth. London purple Is recommended as being better than Paris green for spray ing apple trees, because it Is cheaper, mixes better with water, and does not require to be constantly stirred to keep it mingled with the water as does Paris green. A pound of the purple to 100 gallons of water is sufficient, and the purple should first be mixed with a little water to a paste, and then well stirred into the tank. The application should be made about the time the blossoms fall. For growing cucumbers, squashes oruoiilar plants put old saw-dust or rotten wood about them. Those who have never tried cucumbers on strong, bushy stakes like pea-sticks will be sur prised to note bow they enjoy it To matoes do better trained to stout slakes than any other way. The raspberry, gooseberry and curract, especially the latter, thrive with applications of rotten wood. TnEUK is no doubt that much first class honey does not bring first-class prices because of the manner of putting it up. Its delicate flavor 13 lost and it soon becomes tiinted by being put into wlmky or molasses barrels, or even fresh wooden barrels may give a taste. Tin cans are perhaps safer for storing or shipping honey in than any sort of woodea receptacle. Public water troughs, it Is claimed. are places at which infectious diseases are spread; hence the water should al ways be flowing in them instead of turn ing it on only when wanted. It is raid that calves begin to form cuds and ruminate as soon as they are allowed on the pasture, but three months is soon enough to allow them to do so, or the result will be scours. It is said that the best mode of using sulphur about plants, in order to de stroy insects, is to sprinkle it on the ground during a warm day, when it will prove beneficial without injuring the plants. A little oxalic acid put in the wa ter in which hands are washed will re move the stains caused by cutting po tatoes. Lemon juice will take away berry stains. Grass Is a cheap food for pics, and t most healthy and profitable diet Much of the profit on pigs must come from a proper use of grass as a summer food. A obeat many fields, especially those long and narrow, are always plowed the same way. Simply changing the direc tion of working will often make a great Increase in productiveness. The greasy look of butter may arise from any of the following causes: Churning too long or too rapidly, hav ing the cream too warm, or from feed ing too much cottonseed meal or oil meat The Tribune prints from a New , York chemist Do yon know bow this popular fallacy about nsh being a brain 1 food aroser xsor It was In this way, I All kinds of fish decay quickly after ' death, and like all animal and vegeta- ble matter in this stage, throw off phos- . phorns.

P. writes: 1 have len U3ed to the old ways of cau nlnir, and am almost always successful wit'i them, so am chary of change. It is very easy to stone cherries with tlie stoning machines now to be bad almost everywhere at a small cost, and while doing a part, have others cooking. 1 use a half pound of sugar to each pound of frnlt, and make a syrup of a pint or less of water to each pound of sugar. Let the syrup boll well and aklm it be fore adding the fruit Merely scald the latter a very short time, not put ting very much into the kettle at once, so that by gently stirring it every part can soon come in contact with the boiling syrup. Then with the fruit ladle nil the bottles, being careful not to dip in too much juice. Add more fruit to the syrup left, and continue thus until all are cooked. With good 1 kittles I have no trouble in keepmg fruit, but it is well to occasionally buy new rubbers as the old ones lose their elasticity, and become hard. Many a bottle of fruit is lost from neglect in this particular. These rubber rings only cost a cent a piece, or 10 cents a dozen. It is necessary to add more sugar to the syruD as more fruit is added, as the lugar will become exhausted in time. Canned Peaches. Be sure to se cure fine ripe fruit Pare and cut in halves, removing the stoaes or pits. Place them-in water as iney are pareu or they will at once become discolored from the action of the air. t m me jars with the peaches, closely packed and hot syrup till within two inches of the top. Put the jars in a boiler of hot water, the latter coming nearly to me neck of the jars. Cook for ten mm utes. Take from the boiler, uncover, and leave them for Ave minutes. Then add hot syrup to fill the jars full, and seal up. They can also be preservea whole, when they should not be cut at nil, but cooked twice as long ai when halved. Lemon Kick. Boil half a teacupful of rice in a pint of milk, with sugar U taste, until it is soft, then put it in a basin or earthenware blanc-mange mold and leave it till cold; peel a lemon very thickly, cut the peel into shredi about half an inch, put into a little wa ter, boll them uo aud throw the water away; then pour about one teacupful of fresh water upon them, squeeze anu strain the juice of the lemon, add to it two ounces of white sugar and then pour on the water and shreds of peel; let it stew gently on the fire for half an hour. WLen cold it will be a syrup. Having turned the jellied rice into a glass dish, pour the syrup gradually over the rice, taking care the little shreds of peel are equally distributed over the whole. Kolraiii may now be had young and tender. Cooked by this recipe it is ex cellent: Peel and slice four kohlrabi Leads aud drop them in water while slicing. When ready put them in boil ing water and cook for twenty min utes. Should the kohlrabi be stringy they will require thirty-five minutes. Drain them and put them in a pan, adding a gill of boiled milk, one ounce of butter and pepper and salt to taste. Grate over the top Parmesan cheese to form a thin layer, and bake In a quick oven for ten minutes. Tky these waflles for breakfast or lunch: Pass one pint of warm soft boiled rice through a sieve and add to it a small teaspoonful of salt, one table spoonful of flour sifted with two tea spoonfuls of baking-powder. Beat the whiles of three eggs to a stiff froth. Beat the yelks of the three eggs as light as pjssible and mix with three gills of mi'.k; stir the mixture into the rice and flour and add an ounce of melted bat ter. Add the frothed whites; mix all thoroughly together and pour into the waffle-iron, baking a delicate brown. The waffle-iron should be heated, well greased and tilled two-thirds full with the mixture. Jklly Roll. Three eggs, one cup of prepared flour and one of powdered ! sugar, one tablespoonful ot butter, jelly or jam; rub the butter into the sugar, add the beaten eggs and flour, and pour into a broad baking pan, well greased. Bake rapidly, and while still warm spread with jelly jam or mar malade. Roll it up, pin a band of soft cloth about it to keep it in shape, and do not make this until the cake is cold and firm. Svmmeb Scjcasii may be cooked in this manner: Cut the squash in quar ters, remove the seeds and skin, cover with salted boiling water, ai.d toil un til done. When cooked, ' mash the squash and add one ounce of butter for each small one. Moisten with gravy or broth, and put In little pans or dish es; cover with bread crumbs, place tiny bits of butter on the top and bake a delicate brown in a brisk oven. Aftle Fcddino. Take one quart of flour; mix with a pint of' sour milk in which a teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved and a little salt Fill a dish two-thirds full of quartered apples, pour a cupful of molasses over them, put the dough on top and steam one hour and a half. Serve with cream and sugar seasoned with nutmeg. Mead is easily made by this recipe: Pour two quarts of boiling water upon four pounds and a half of sugar; add one pint of molasses and four ounces of tartaric acid. Boil all together for a few minutes, and, when cold, add one ounce of essence of sassafras. Bottle, cork tightly and keep in a cool place. Take one third of a glass of the mead, fill the glass nearly full with water; add a quarter of a teaspoonful of carbonate of soda; stir and drink while it effer vesces. To make buttermilk biscuits, to three cup3 of buttermilk add one of butter, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half a teaspoonful of soda, a dessert r-poonful of salt, and flour enough to make the dough just stiff enough to admit of beiDg rolled out into biscuits. L'oil five eggs for twenty minutes. While they cool, melt two table-spoonfuls of butter in a sauce-pan, add the same quantity of flour and one pint of boiling milk. Season well, slice the eggs Into this sauce and serve hot with parsley, and you have a good luncheon dish. Cut out old raspberry canes as soon as the fruit is off; allow only as many new shoots to grow as are needed for fruiting. Finch blackberry canes when six feet high and their branches when eighteen inches long. It is ascertained that the heating power of gas may be increased 77 pet cent, by carburization, but the gasoline employed becomes rapidly volatile, and when reduced to one-fourth its volume its enriching power is only 34 per cent. One volume of gas with six volumes of air produces complete combustion , leav ing no appreciable trace of carbonic oxide In tlie products of combustion, but with excessive dilution the combus tion is manifestly imperfect. is said that s'eam and air-tight rubber packing may be made by brush ing it over with a solution of powdered resin in about ten times Us weight ol water.
