In large gardens It is often g veil a great deal of latitude, but in small ones it has to be restr etod. This is gener ally done by nailing four boards to gether like a frame and planting it inside this. A piece from eight to twelve feet long and four feet wide will furnish mint to n-.eet tho whole of the demand or a large family. Those who complain that mint does not grow frcelv with them should try it in this way. The boards should he from ten inches to one foot in depth, and. if the soil is raised up inside half this height andaquantity of grit or sand, and manure is put in, it will always grow freely, and by cover.ng itover in early spring it will lie ready icry early.

A short time ago William Gable, n yoT.ng iimu, was working near a big rock in the northwestern corner ol Morgan County, Ohio. He acciden tally knocked some moss off it and re vealed two or three letters chiselled in the surface. He began to dig at once, and removing tho remaining moss found a message from Lewis Whet-do, or Wetzel, na he is known to pioneer history. On the face of the rock i tho legend "Enjoy tho peaco which I havo prepfired for you," and to the right of this is the inscription cut into tho sandstone: "Engraved by me, Lewis Whetzle, lioru in Vir., Feb. 29tb, 1752." The discovery of thin rock, long lmried beneath tlie wood's moss ami leaven, brings to mind once more tho wonderful deeds of daring of Whetzle. Close to this rock ran the old Federal trail, which led from Gr.ivo Creek to the Soioto towns. It crossed the Mus kingum River at the present town of Gaysport. The town of the Delaware Indians was Duncan's Falls, five miles up the river. The trail run close to this lettered rock on the high ridge just above it, and it is very likely that Whetzle did the work while on one of his scoutiug expeditions along this trail. It was on one of these that Whetzle, armed only with his knife and tomahawk, attacked a camp of four Indians. Three of them lie killed; the tourth ran for his life and escaped. Whetzle was a wonderful man in j many respects, Not very tall, only | live feet nine inches, he was a man enormous strength. His shouldors I were those of a giant and his chest gave notice to all that he could run a race with any savage and win. Tie was as dark and swarthy as an ludial), and his face was deeply pitted with the smallpox. His hair, and this was hi* special pride, reached, when combed to its full length, to tho ealve.s of his legs, and every Muskingum Indian had sworn to have his scalp. His eyes were black and shone with a fierce fire. He feared nothing. His name will be forever connected with the history of the border uloug the Ohio and through West Virginia.—Toledo Blade. Is Ire Cream Milk I The question, "Is ice cream to he considered AS milk?" came up 111 a Glasgow case of some importance from a sanitary point of view, which was recently settled in the British High Court of Judicary. Its promineiit features were these : During last sum mer and autumn some cases of fever were found to have been caused by the use of ice cream, and at the same tune some very unsavory revelations were made as to the manner ill which the manufacture and storage of ice cream are carried ou in English cities, particularly in the overcrowded and dirty dwellings of foreigners, into whoso hands tho trade has largely fallen. In order to bring theso deal ers under the sanitary regulations ap plicable to purveyors of milk, tho Glagow local authorities brought a test case before tho Sheriff's Court and won it; the Sheriff's decision was reversed on appeal by the higher court. A man who sells ice cream, therefore, which consists almost entirely of milk, with a little Hour and flavoring, is not a purveyor of milk iu tho sense which the English statute requires, and is consequently not amenable to the law. —New York Sun. Idaho's Curious Natural Ias Spring. There is a natural gas spring iu Idaho that is one of the most, remarkable sights ever witnessed. It is about 10 ) miles from Boiso City, and it is nt tins bottom of a canyon. The rock hero seems to bo of a porous nature, and there are innumerable small holes and fissures. Riding along the canyon one day prospecting I dropped a lighted match, and immediately a bright blue flame sprang up. This lighted another and that another, and so on, until a space of about an aero in extent was covered with these flames, each arising about a foot in height. It was >t beautiful sight, and the lights were still burning when I left there. Tho find is of 110 practical value, as the fact that the gas issues from the sur face of the earth is proof positive that the principal position of it lias escaped and it 110 longer exists iu paying quantities, but as a curiosity i have never seen anything that equaled it.— k St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
