day.
I have a dear old friend—a genuine “lady
of the old school,” who has a hobby, It
is the precocity of the present age.
“Pray, madanie, how old were you when
you were marred?” 1 asked her one day.
She hesitated, and the blood rose a little
in her delicate old face.
“Just sixteen,” she responded.
After a while it all leaked out. Most of
the girls of her day were married at six
teen and seventeen, often at fifteen. All
of her sisters were married before they
were twenty. Then, after a little diplom
acy, she gave some particulars of the way
they did fifty years ago. Hygiene was not
invented then; even the name was not
known. The wonder is how any of the
children survived to he women, and how
any of the women survived at all. Nobody
but men wore flannel; my old friend told
me that the young ladies couldn’t, posi
tively couldn’t.
“Why not?”
“Because they wore low-necked frocks
all the year round. In winter they wore
capeB to cover their bare shoulders. Of
course, they were not strictly decollete,

j trocks were generally made out. and were
the simplest part of our wardrobes, instead
I ol the artistically moulded creations they
are now. They were nothing usually but
six or seven or eight breadths of material
stitched up and hemmed, and a waist
with no particular fit. There was no such
thing as fitting a sleeve in, and the modiste
or muntuu-maKer, ns we called her, used
the same sleeve patterns for all of her
customers. If it was too long a plait was
taken at the inner seam of the sleeve to
shorten it. Our best dresses were made
with open flowing sleeves, and with these
undersleeves were worn. If a girl had a
pretty arm, though, she generally left off
undersleeves altogether.”
“Gay doings thore wore in those good
old days,” I said. “Now tell me frankly,
would you let your granddaughter go low

no flannel, sleep on a feather bed In an

and get married at sixteen as they did in
the good old times?”
“N—o—o,” reluctantly answered this
truthful, dear old soul.

Huron, D. T., August 31.—I left Colum

hunt in the territory of Dakota. Our party,
composed of one member each from the
church, the army aud the bur, arrived in
the territory at a point near this place on
the 17th inst., armed and equipped for the

“Poor things,” I said, “how they must
have shook and shivered—in the good old
days. Fancy one of the little girls of to
day, clothed in warm flannel from her
neck to her heels, with stout woolen
stockings coming quite over the knees,
compelled to adopt the costume of the
good old days!”
“Then, the babies! Bare-armed and bare
necked, too, except in the coldest weather,
when they had a thin merino sacque put
on them.”
“Poor babies,” said I. “The general idea
seemed to be to expose the neck and arms
as much as possible, under the most ad
verse circumstances. Wasn’t there a good
deal of rheumatism in the good old
time?”
“I am afraid I must say yes,” replied my
old friend, doubtfully. “All middle-aged
people, it seems to me, had the rheuma
tism then. And they don’t seem to me
now,” continued the dear old lady, “to
have made any change in their clothing
according to variations in the weather.
No dress waists for summer were lined.
The line between summer and winter
clothes was rigidly drawn. In May, ladles
put away all their thick dresses, and wore
nothing but the thinnest muslins and cam
brics until autumn. Of course, we had
cold snaps, but we managed to shiver
through them in our airy garments. If I
had gone and put on a thick frock, as niy
daughter does when the thermometer gets
down to 60, I would have been thought
crazy. Besides, they were all packed

our common guinea, or perhaps as large as j
a brown leghorn hen. The territorial law ,
here does not allow them to be shot be
fore the loth of August, hence our desire '
to be on the ground as soon after the loth,
as possible. In appearance they much re- '
semble our common quail, except that the j
mottling is lighter in color, and the necks
arc longer in proportion to the size of the
body; iu fact, while flying across you, they
much resemble a mallard duck iu the

flying straight to the front they fly and re

arity we noticed the very first day was that
the old cocks would go off to themselves,
sometimes being found alone, and some
times in company with one or two other
disconsolate heads of families. We could
not account for this unless it was that
these selfish old fellows had gone off to
take a summer vacation' and could not af
ford to take the old hen and the chicks.
We found the birds in covies of from five
up to thirty. We found very few with as
many as the latter number, and most of
them had about
TEN TO TWELVE.
Although we were in latitude about 45”,
aud with Canada as our next door neigh
bor, still it was so hot for the first few days
after our arrival that we could not hunt,
and neither could our dogs, in the middle
of the day. But early in the morning, late
in the afternoon and at night it was
delightful, and so at first we confined our
hunting to a few hours early and late each
day; but as the twilight lasts so much
longer than with us we got some of our
best shooting after sun-down;
to illustrate. I killed a prairie chicken fly
ing, single bird, at 8:90 o’clock p. m. on
the night of August 19. We left the train
nine miles from this place, at Cavoor, and
were met by Mr. Gee. Kelsey, a genial,
estimable gentleman, who owns the best
Dakota farm we saw and the most com
fortable house. He took us and our traps
In a two-horse wagon and started for
home, six miles out in the prairie. On
the way out we put out our dogs and soon
found a covey or birds, and your corres
pondent killed his first shot, it being also
the first live prairie chicken he had evpr
seen.
OUR OUTFIT
for each day’s hunt was as follows: One
two-horse wagon, with bottom covered
with straw, and fitted with spring
seats, jug of cold tea for the hunters
and a jug of water and pan for the dogs,
for it is absolutely impossible to hunt in
this almost waterless region without hav
ing water ou hand for the dogs, and even
then they seem to suffer a great deal, so
much so that one fresh dog is kept in the
wagon, while the other is being hunted.
Equally impossible is it for one not accus
tomed to the water to drink the solution
of alkali which they have here aud call
water; and unless a hunter provides him
self with beer or cold tea. he too will suffer,
and even then there is an imperceptible
alkali dust which settles on the lips and
keeps them parched and dry all the time.
WE HUNTED THE PRAIRIE
around our first stopping place for about
a week and killed enough game to keep a
family of a dozen or more in fresh game;
besides having some to send to our host’s
neighbors. Then we moved to a point
south, in another county, to a friend of
our armv friend. Before reaching this
place the weather turned cool, so we could
hunt all day. and here we found birds in
plenty and had much fine shooting, and
when you remember that one bird will nl-
most riiake a meal for two, you can readily
understand that we killed more than we
could destroy.
But in conclusion will simply say that
our party killed one hundred chickens al
together. The army and the church tied;
and for the honor'of the Columbus Gun
Club, I will add that their representative
killed twenty more than either of them.

WONDERFUL ULCERS.
Atlanta, Ga., June 5,1386.
In 1878 there came on my hand what was
thought to be a carbuncle, which ran its course
several months, broke and finally healed. The
next spring knots, or knodes, came on my arms,
which were thought to be rheumatic, and I took
gallons of medicine from the best physicians in
Cuthbert, Ga., where I then resided.
About this time my left limb below the knee
commenced swelling at a fearful rate, and finally
came to a head and broke. Both arms were sore,
and I could hardly bear my weight standing, and
hardly know how I uiauuged to live’through it
all. About this time we moved from Cuthbert
to Atlanta I began to despair of ever getting
well; the sore on my limb was a regular eating
ulcer, now about three inches in length, two
inches in width, seeming to be down to the bone
and discharging about a cupful of pus <mutter’
per day, my arms still running, my sleep dis
turbed. and I sometimes thought I would lose my
reason.
A friend recommended B. B. B. .1 commenced
its use. und I saw an improvement from the very

limb has healed. I now feel like a new person,

tion, usually renders it a matter of economy, as well as necessity, with him, to buy some kind of
Press that requires but little mechanical skill to put it in operation. N«rcw," is a.
sort of compromise bet ween the old style of wooden screw and the nuxlcrn Cotton Press, combining
the principal advantages of the farmer with the convenience and economy of the latter. It can bo
operated with greater facility than the wooden screw, and the rapidity of its performance, like that,
of the wooden screw, or any other press, depends upon its management—as on the old style screws
some planters would pack ten bales, and others thirty or thirty-five bales per day. Any ordinary
mechanic who can make a good plantation gate, or common plow stock, can do the wood work.
Within the last eleven years we have made und sold n great many of these screws, and have yet
to hear of the first one that has not given entire satisfaction.
We furnish all the Iron Work for these Screws, of which we make two sizes, and fully warranted.
