BURGLARSATWORK. How the Merry "Cracksmen" 0p8n Safes. No Safe Strong Enough to Re sist Nltro-Glycerlne. iTow to burgle a bnnk snfe is dis cussed in an apparently practical mnn nor in n recent issuo of Hint usually well-behnviug journal, the American Machinist. The professor who fur nishes the advice classes (ill bnnk safes according to tho kind of door with which they aro provided. The siinnre door is prcncrnlly held in portion when closed by eight round bolts of about one ninl one-hnlf ineheii in din meter. Thexo nro Hhot from behind the door nonius tho joint to the renr of the jamb of tho door, nnd tho strength of these eight boltH or tho strength of tho door jam') to resist being torn out is the mnxiinum strength of the Bife to resist tha quiet but forcible eloquence of the burglarious visitor. The second or round cIhhs of doors are built up of phitcK niniilnr to those of the safe, nnd generally hnvc a eonrsc thrond cut on their periphery, the door being screwed into the safe. The Hipinro doorK nro geiiernlly more open to perxmiHion tluin tho other kind. Formerly tho brglnr used very fine gunpowder ns tho finnl ar gument. His plnn wns to putty up tho entire joint between tho door nnd tho safe, except n hiibII npnoo on tho top and tho bottom joints. Ho then applied the nir pump nt the upper nn puttied crack or joint nnd fed tho powder into tho lower one, the in-go-iug air enrrying it into the ante. This wns nil possible nnd in mnny cases is yet, owing to a luck of contnet be tween tho door nnd tho jiimb. This method wns finally bended off by the introduction of felt, evmont or rubber between tho door nnd tho jninb. But nitro-glycerino will penetrnto a crnck l-100flth of nn inch, an opening ho much finer than it is possiblo to mnke between tho sipmro door and tho jamb that the operntion of opening Hiieh a wife is a abort ono. In opening a mo.lern bunk Hiifu the burglnr putties up the entire joint of crnck except for about an inch at the top nnd bottom. A well of putty is then formed about tho top crack whoro it is uncovered and two nnd a half or three ounces of mtro-plycerino poured into it. If the eafo is not protected by felt or rubber , it will roipiiro but throe or four min utes for tho glycerine to distribute it self over tho entire joint of the door and drip out at the lower crnck. An ordinary detonating cup, such as is used in exploding dynamite, is insert ed in the upper well and tho fuse lit. When the explosion occurs tho door comes off. When the operntion takes plneo in a vault there is rarely any noiso nioro thun fifty feet away owing to tho aitfu inside which tho explosion occurs being itsolf within a solidly built ineloHnro. Tho burglnr docs not carry nitro glycerine with him. He goes to n hardware store and buys a few pounds of dynamite, which he breaks up in a convenient vessel, as a wash-basin, covers with ulcohnl, and allows to stand until the glycerine has all com bined with it. The alcohol and gly cerine are then poured off and an equul amount of water added ; the water and the alcohol combine, and the nitro glycerine sinks to the bottom, whoro it is ready for use. Tha chrome steel, of which the sales ana vaults of hanks are now largely built, in easily drilled by first heating the steel. A basket of wire netting is mado to cover a apace of .about six or eight inches square, and this is wired to the side of the safe or door. It is filled with charcoal, which is ignited and a fierce heat gouerated by a pair of bellows. In four or five minutes the basket is removed and tho heated spot allowed to oool. It may thou be drilled or out like ordinary boiler iron. Tho author of the arti clo states that he hag seen a hole suffi ciently lurge to admit a ui tin's arm out clear through a chrome-steel bank safe four isches thick in two hours, so that a mau's arm was passed through and the locking bolts disconnected with a wrench. In little less than two hours a similar hole was out through the back of tho sufo into the money vault, aud its contents taken out through thin Jiole. The large vault door, behind which the safe is pluoed, is rarely blown with glyoerine. It is generally (Opeuod by drilling a two or throe' inch hole between the handle and the combination look. This outs off tho .looking bolt, and the door opens when tho huudle is turned. Bufcs with round doors, which are screwed iu, are ofUn opened experimentally . by building a well of putty at tho up per part of tho joint, nnd exploding about a teaspoonful of glycerine on the outside, tho remit being to cup out tho top of tho outer plate of metal. A largo well embracing the cupped portion in then rhade, anil two ounces of glycerine placed therein, which feeds around tne threads in about ten niinntea, tenring the door and pnrt of tho frame out when ex ploded. Mifilt Air. Before we enn hope to fight con sumption with any chnnce of success we hnve to get rid of the night nir su perstition. Like tho dread of cold wnter, rnw fruit, etc., it is founded on mistrust of our instincts. It is prob ably tho most prolific single cnuso of inipnired health, even among the civil ized nations of our enlightened age, though its absurdity rivals the gross est delusions of tho witchcraft era. The subjection of holy reason to hear say could hardly go further. "Be ware of the night w ind ; bo sure nnd close your windows after dark !" In other words, "Beware of Clod's free nir, bo sure nnd infect your lungs w ith the stagnant, azotized and offensive atmosphere of your bedroom." In other words: "Beware of tho rock spring; htick to sewage." Is nightnir injurious? Since tho day of creation that nir hns been breathed with im putiny by millions of different animals tender, delicate creatures, some of them fawns, lambs nnd young birds. The moist night nir of tho tropical forests is breathed with impunity by our next relatives, the anthropoid ape tho same apes that soon perish with consumption in the close, though gen erally well-warmed, atmosphere of our uothern menageries. Thousands of soldiers, hunters and lumbermen sleep every night in tents and open sheds without the least injurious consequen ces. Men in tho last stages of con sumption have recovered by adopting a semi-savage mode of life, nnd camp ing outdoors in all but the stormiest nights. Is it the draught you fear, or the contrast of temperature? Black smiths and railroad conductors seem to thrive under such influences. Good Health. Inscriptions o Coins. Among the change for a dollar which tho conductor of a North Side car teudered mo the other day was a piarter with an odd inscription. Nicely engraved ucross the young lady who impersonates the Republic on the coin in a singularly strained atti tude wore these words: "Given to Anna Polk, Indianapolis, 177." It wns not merely scratched on, but neatly cut in an easy English script. The conduc tor noticod tho legend, too, nnd of fered to exchango the quarter for another. But tho coifc seemed good enough, and I declined. This, per haps encouraged the conductor to re mark that bo handled more queer coins, foreign aud domestic, ancient and modern, during and since the World's Fair than in all his six years of street railroading previously. "There was a half dollar I took in. ono day last August," he said, "which had a piece of poetry cut in its face. I forget tho other three lines, but the last one was something about 'You are all my own,' and there were some letters at the end, the writer's initials, I guess. The words were very small, but so well engraved that you could road them easily enough. "We had to keep a sharp lookout for foreign coins, Canadian and Eng lish, mostly. I never saw so many old silver dollars, quarters, and halves as the strangers who came to see the Fair turned out." Chicago Times. Tea-Rred Oil. It appears that some of the Ceylon tea planters, are making an1 organized attempt to obtain a sale for their tea seed in the London market. A parcel of seven bags of that article was offered at the drug sales recently, but no one seemed to know what to do with it, and although the broker declared his belief that the drug was "a favorite medicine in China," the audience remained unmoved. Never theless, the tea seed might have been worth purchasing for the sake of tho blaud oil which it contains, to the extent of about 85 per cent, by weight, and which resembles olive oil in color und somewhat iu tiists. Tho seeds are about the size of a cherry stone, sub globulur iu shape, and of a deep brown color. The oil would be useful for burning or lubricating. London Chemist and Druggist.

If yott want eggs in winter you must provide a comfortable poultry-house with windows which will admit sun light, .and the place must bo kept suf- flcently warm to keep the combs of the layers from freezing. A wooden floor to the poultry-house is better than an earthen one, which is apt to become damp, and dampness ' is to be avoided, if you would k jpp your (Jock free from disease and death. Cleanliness, too, is essential, as are good warm roosts and open air exercise on all days which are not damp or ex cessively cold. Chickens, if properly fed and cared for, can bo made to lay nearly ns well luring the winter months as in the summer. The chief secret lies in pro viding a variety of egg-producing food an 1 in keeping the hens in propor condition. FEXCISu) IX WINTER. Th n'9 is often plenty of time, after tho so-called fall work is completed, to do a good deal that is usually left till spring. The fence can bo looked over and repaired. Tosts can bo set to much better advantage tlrin in the spring, ns tha soil is in better condi tion for such work. It pays to see o the fences. If neglected, they will soon fall into a dilapidated condition which it will require a good deal of time to bring them out of. And a broken-down fence is a disgraoo to any farm, and a standing reflection against the owner of it. One reason why bo many shabby fences aro seen is that the work of repairing them is left till spring, and then there seems to be no time for such work. Do it while there is leisure, nnd you w ill bo more likely to do good work. Amer ican Agriculturist. how to KKKPrt sirKixs. A writer iu the Ohio Farmer thinks that to keep pumpkins iu a fresh Btate for ten months or a year is a very simple matter. A person has only to select those that aro sound aud well ripened. Handle them carefully bo as not to bruise the flesh ; wash and wipe dry ; then store them in a dry, warm room. Let each pumpkin have a separate rest that is, do not pile ono on top of another. Keep tho temper ature of tho room as even as possible at all times, and sound, plump pump kins can be had in June just as well as in the fall or early part of winter. For tho last two years he has kept his in nn upper hallway leading from the dining room. A portiere hangs at the opening of tho stnirwny, so tho hent rises and keeps tho upper hall nt tho same tompcraturo ns the dining room. If a person has a roomy pantry, well secured from frost or dampness, tho upper shelf would answer nicely for a storing place, or a clothes closet, se cured from cold or dampness, would answer tho purposo as well. Winter squashes can also be preserved in liko manner.. Dampness aud frosted air will soon put this lino of vegetables ou the road to dooay if loft long un der its influence. PROFITABLE PIOS. An Eastern paper has a letter from W. F. Brown, a swine grower, in w hich he gives his own experience with pigs nt five months and three days old. It would without doubt have paid to feed them another month, but the drought had nearly ruined my corn and I could not buy corn without paying from five to ten cents above city price, so I concluded to let them go. My pigs averaged 130 pounds and were iu a condition to gj on them ar ket as fat pigs at a good price. They wero fed entirely on bran and oil meal, except for the lust three weeks, during which they 'were on feed of half new com. The fourteen pigs te half a ton of oil meal at 823 a ton. ' The bran was not weighed, but I estimate that they ate a ton aud a hulf, costing 818.75, and during the last three weeks ten bushels of corn worth $4.50 This makes the cost of their feed from the time they were weaned $31.75 and they sold for $80, which repre sents a fair profit. I did much better with the full litters, as I sold them wheu the price of pork was at its high' est point. I have now raised three litters of pigs in succession from these sows. My idea has been to see if I could rear pigs aud sell them young at a profit without milk to give them a start aud I have demonstuted that it can be duue." GHEEN FOOI) FOB FOWLS. Gruen food is .tho natural food of fowls iu the summer season. It i cooling, possessos all of the elements required, and is more readily obtained than any other kind of food. Being bulky, it contains water, sud promotes digestion by disti'OtsJK V01?- Though not as nutritions' ot rain, yet more of it is consiiujea, and If of a variety, it supplies a!! Juo wants of the flock. If tho farmer will economize with the food at this season, using no grain, he will find that his hens will keep in better health and condition than if they aro fed on grain or other concen trated food. The greatest drawback to the keeping of poultry is hot that the fowls are insufficiently supplied. nit that they are fed too much, nnd the cost of their maintenance is more than it should be. Surfeiting of a . fowl with all the grain that it will eat is not conducive to thrift or egg pro duction. There is an pnormons wasto of food in the summer by the lack of judg ment in feeding. Grain is given lav ishly, when in fnct it is the most un suitable food that can be allowed dur- ng warm weather. Grass is superior to any other food now, and if hens are o n lined and cannot have tho run of a grass-plot, the green food may bo cut up fine aud fed to them, and it may be given three times a day, in w hich case a small quantity of ground oats or comment may be sprinkled over tho cut food, to each quart of tho ground grain so lined a teaspoonful of salt being first intimately mixed with it. If it is found necessary to give something else than green food, let it e lean meat, or meat and crushed (or ground) bone, given once a day, a lonnd to twenty hens bein; ample. Tho hens w ill lay more eggs w hen sup- died with plenty of green food than when allowed grain freely. Farm and Fireside. FARM AND GARPEIf NOTES. All manures are not equally valu able. Ground oats is ' a good feed for calves. All stock requires good caro to pro duce good results. Cornstalks will make good feed for hogs if cut when green. Don't rear indifferent stock if yon are trying to make money. Turnips mnke nn excellent addition to the feed of a milch cow. In Euglish gardens toads nro highly esteemed as insect destroyers. Keep only those cows which will give a profit all tho year round. This is an excellent time for ex perimenting with feeding whoiit to stock. It is said that ensilage which is not covered will only mould to a depth of teu inches. The sides of tbe silo should be care fully packed, so that they aro ns solid us tho center. If you expect to keep your sheep up to the standard you must not be con tent with grade sires. Quarantine all newly purchased pigs for thirty days before letting them run with their fellows. Those persons who n: o sVd to hnvc good luck in firming tie tu uu.'i who employ common sense uuu good judg ment. By removing alUfnllen fruit ninny insects will be destroyed aud others will be prevented from obtaining a footing. A good warm barn with silo and water iuside and good cows, make winter dairying cosier thun summer dairying. Oood breeds cannot stand tho neg lect which the scrubs can, but if you give them proper care they will surely repay you. Whenever signs of defective consti tution appeur among your hogs, it is time to chnngo to another strum of the sume family. By thorough culture the farmer can get much better crops, but will ex haust his soil much sooner than by less thorough cultivation. Pigs that have been driven any distuuee, or even carted to the place of killing, should be given a couple of days' rest before killing. The remedy in use for the codlin moth in Australia is a bun dago ubout the trunk of the tree and the destruc tion of all infected fruit. A writer says that he succeeded in driving away squash and cucumber beetles by scattering on each hill a lit tle laud gypsum which had been moistened with coal tur. If turnips are fed to cows just be fore milking they aro apt to give a taint to the milk, but it is said that if given directly after milking the next milk produced will bo untainted. Wheu green crops are plowed under for the purpose of enriching the soil, an application of lime will often be of the greatest benefit. It helps to cor rect the acidity of the soil that often results from the too rapid fermenta tion of tbe green stuff. , PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS Meet at Bsrrisburi and Nominate Qaluiha A.
