A Startling Spectaclr.
Not long ago two leading business men
of Philadelphia determined to take a day’s
vacation in'New York. Taking the five
o’clock train at the West Philadelphia sta
tion, they arrived at their destination in
course of time and took a room at one of
the uptown hotels. The evenings were
spent at the theatre, and at midnight the
two Philadelphians took possession of their
room, for although they were still young
men, they were far too sensible to make the
fact of their being away from home on a
vacation an excuse for racing about town
all night. Being in a very contented con
dition of mind, and fully at peace with
themselves, they felt that a quiet smoke
would not be incompatible with the be
havior and dignity of gentlemen. Divest
ing themselves of their coats and vests they
lit cigars, and were carrying on an indolent,
wandering conversation, when the clock in
a neighboring steeple struck one. A few
moments later a quick, nervous knock was
heard at the door, which a moment after
opened to admit a lady, whose face brought
Ixjth men to their feet. She was pale as
death and trembling with fright, and it was
some minutes before she could command
her tongue sufficiently to say that a man in
an adjoining room had committed suicide.
One of the gentlemen ran into the hall and
the other into the open door of the lady’s
chamber. The room was dark, but through
a window looking across to a wing of the
house came a stream of light. Through
this window the gentleman could see direct
ly into a room in the opposite wing, which
was only twenty feet distant. The lace
curtamB'WBTeTimrn -&gid« r _aad_directly lie-
fore the window, seated in a chair witir-his
head hanging backward, was a man with a
great gaping wound cut in his throat from
side to side. Blood covered the front of
his shirt, and every gas jet in the room
seemed to be burning, at its full height, to
make the scene more terrible. Word was
at once sent to a neighboring police station,
after wliich the two Philadelphians, re-in-
furced by a hotel porter, went to the door
af the awful chamber. The porter was
very much excited and began by pounding
on the door. A faint gurgling and unintel
ligible response came, and then heavy, stag
gering steps were heard crossing the floor.
A hand over which the owner seemed to
have no command unlocked the door, and
the suicide stood before them. He was in
the most abject state of intoxication,
entering the room an hour before, he ltad
managed to light his gas, and then dropped
into a chair to wrestle with a large, bright-
red silk necktie, having fringe at the two
euda He wore a high collar, and in his
endeavors to take off the necktie lie had
pulled it over his collar on both sides, from
the ears forward, when his failing strength
gave out altogether, and the scarf, which
was still tied at the neck, fell and spread
over the bosom of the shirt, the fringe add
ing to the illusion. Then his head sank
over the back of the chair and he fell asleep,
the most gory and terribly realistic corpse
in the world. The lady was awakened
from a sound sleep by the bright light
streaming into her room. She didn’t know
where it came from, and arose to find out.
Then the terrified woman rushed to the
room of the Philadelphians, who were her
nearest neighbors, just as she was—in her
night clothes. Hardly was the mystery
solved when a sergeant of police arrived on
the scene, quickly followed by a coroner,
and it was after daylight when the house
was restored to peace and quiet.
At this time of the year almost every
man purchases some new style of Piccadil
ly collar. As the heat has an alarming
tendency to make the average collar wilt
and look mean, he gets some with as
many plys as possible. What he wants
is a collar about as thick ns the wood
which is used for making cigar boxes. He
succeeds after a diligent search in getting
just what he needs, and in the evening, be
fore calling on his fair one, he thinks ho
will put on a new collar and a white neck
tie. He goes to his room and selects a col
lar, and buttons it on behind ; then he fas
tens one of the ends in front, and in doing
so is compelled to look up in the air like a
chicken swallowing water, and to make
facial gyrations which would bring him a
fortune if he could execute them upon a
pantomimic stage. After a sustained effort,
which bring forth tears and perspiration, he
manages to button the first end, and takes
a breathing spell before essaying to fasten
the second. He is in a state of desperation
now, for. unfortunately, he has hut two
hours since cut ids nails so short that he
finds it utterly impossible to pinch the but
tonhole around his collar-button, the inside
portion of winch occasionally grips him
like a vise, and causes him to pucker up his
lips as though he had just eaten a green
persimmon, and to close one eye as though
almut to glance over a gun-barrel at a de
camping cat. It is a terrible ordeal for
him ; he turns around on his heel, and
sways his left arm to give impetus to his
short nails, but it is all in vain ; that collar
seems more perverse and fixed in its inten
tions every moment; and the man feels as
though he would like to grasp the unbut
toned end and with one effort yank himself
off his feet. He now grits his teeth and
takes hold with both hands ; and after a
desperate encounter of three minutes the
collar is on. After a breathing spell, he
bends the ends over, and a sort of psycho
logical rainbow enamels his features. The
next thing on the programme is to get out
a white necktie, which he does, and soon
has it around his neck and fastened in a
bow, which lie thinks will find favor in the
critical eyes of Angelina during the even
ing. By the time he has donned liis coat
and has picked up his walking stick and
silk hat to sally forth, he happens to notice
in the glass that his cravat bow has per
egrinated around to that portion of his col
lar located directly under his left ear. In
an instant his coat and vest are off, and he
puts the bow in place, and takes a pin from
Ids bureau to fasten his necktie to his col
lar in a manner which will make its shift
ing from a fixed position an utter impossi
bility. So he cranes his neck forward for
the operation. The collar is so thick that
the feat of penetrating it with a pin is no
easy matter. This he discovers after he
lias made a few desperate but ineffectual
lunges in vain. Every time he presses his
thumb against the pinhead he imagines it is
about to run up into him and shoot out
somewhere between his wrist and knuckles;
so he put8 the back of his brush handle be
tween his thumb and the pin, and, after
having it slip off and scratch his fingers
several times, the pin is finally forced
through with a velocity that carries it into
his neck. Then he whimpers some, and
grasps the brush again to drive the pin from
the inside to the outside of his collar, and
thus have everything fixed to his satisfac
tion. The pin then bends out of shape,
and he is compelled to throw it on the floor
and jump on it for revenge. Going to the
cushion for another pin, iie discovers there
is not one in it; so he picks the bended one
lip off the floor and straightens it out with
his teeth. In order to fasten that necktie
to his collar without having the trouble he
experienced in his first essay, he removes
it from his neck and soon has the operation
performed. He then has to button it on his
sliirt again. After tugging at the back
button for a few minutes, that valuable
member flies off, and with an expression
more forcible than elegant, he comes to the
conclusion that he will be obliged to put on
a clean shirt. All this time he is boiling
away like a mental Vesuvius, and after he
dons the fresh shirt, he glides around to
her house only to discover that the object
of his affections is laid up with chills and
can’t be seen. At this juncture his feelings

An Unlucky Trip.
Engineer James Wood, of the Hud
son Central railroad, than whom no
more reliable, careful or Experienced
man does handle a throttle valve,
met with an unsought-for experience,
and one in which no possible blame can
attach to him, on his trip from Roches-
ter to this city, recently, not the lot of
many engineers, and one which is suf
ficient for a lifetime. Engineer Wood
left Bochester with the Bpecial Chicago
express, a heavy train, somewhat be
hind time. In order to reach Syracuse
on time he was compelled to run unus
ually fast. On reaching Newark a
man was seen driving a horse and
wagon, and despite the warning of the
track hands at work at the crossing he
whipped up the horse and attempted
to cross the track when the locomotive
was upon the -moving vehicle. The
horse was instantly killed, being
thrown to one side of the track. The
wagon was smashed to atoms. Engi
neer Wood stopped the train as soon as
possible, and, on looking the body of a
man tvas found lying in front of the
boiler, dead. He was an aged man
but his identity had not been establish
ed at the time the train left. The train
was backed, up to the station, and the
body removed to shelter. Nothing
further happened until the train was
near Port Byron, when the engineer
saw another man driving an ageu and
poor horse. £?5eing the the train, the
driver began whipping up his poor old
horse for the purpose of crossing the.
track before the train. Seeing he
would be unable to do so, Engineer
Wood blew his whistle, reversed his
engine, but the man only whipped the
harder and had nearly got across the
track, when the engine caught the
rear wheel of the wagon and in an in
stant the vehicle was reduced to kin
dling wood. The horse escaped serious
injury, but the man, an old one, was
thrown into the air to the height of the
smoke stack. In descending the man
landed, on the ground on his head
and shoulders. The train was stopped
and it was found that the man was in-
-ensible and had sustained severe scalp
wounds. He was taken to Port Byron
and left. He was still unconscious
when the train left, up to which time
his name had not been ascertained.
Hoping his unpleasant and unsought
experience was at an end, Engineer
Wood was soon under rapid headway
for Syracuse But he was not to es
cape without another severe shock to
his feelings, for as he was nearing
WeedsDOrt hediscovered walking ahead
of him on the track a man going in the
same direction as the train. Immedi
ately after he saw a woman with a long
sun-bonnet on her head, approaching
the man, and a freight train was pass
ing along abreast of the man and wo
man, the latter looking down and ap
proaching certain death unless she
should see the flying express. To re
verse his engine was the first move of
Engineer Wood, after which by dint of
successive lootings of the whistle, he
finally succeeded in making the man
look around and see his danger. For
tunately lie had the presence of mind
to yell to the woman, who with the
man, barely had time to get clear of
the track w hen the slowing down train
still at a high rate of speed, dashed by
them. Engineer Wood says the expe
rience of one morning is sufficient to
last him a lifetime.
FABM AND GABDEN.
How to Raise Horseradish.—The
general opinion that horseradish re
quires wet ground is erroneous. Any
surface is suitable, if it is only rich
enough. To meet this necessity, ordin
ary soil requires an application of about
100 loads of manure per acre. Then
thoroughly plough deep, and also sub
soil, making the ground as loose as pos
sible. Some early crop, as beets, cab
bage or potatoes, can be planted, and
the horseradish put in as a second crop.
The sets arc first prepared by taking
roots about as large as one’s finger and
cutting them in pieces six inches in
length, cutting the lower end slanting,
so as to place them right side up. Now
take a light crowbar and in the line of
the row punch holes between every
two potato-sets or cabbage-plants, about
one foot deep, and drop the set in the
bottom, filling the hole with the foot.
The deeper the set can be planted and
come up, the better, smoother and
straighter will be the roots. It is to be
understood that the rows are to be from
2 to 1% feet apart and the plants from
1 to 1>£ feet distant. At the d.'pth
named the plants will be some six weeks
coming up. Should they interfere
with the other crop, chop the tops off
with a sharp hoe. This will not injure
them as the main growth is made in
the Autumn. As soon as the first crop
is off, plough and hoe the horseradish,
and so continue until the large leaves
shade the ground. As late as possible
dig what is needed for Winter and pack
in earth in the cellar, or pit in the open
ground. Digging js the most laborious
part, as the small roots spread all over.
These should be saved for sets. I have
had a splendid crop the second year
from these roots lett in the ground. I
have had specimens weighing two
pounds, but the average is about a half
xrnnd. Of late years the market has
ieen overstocked, and the only way 1
could dispose of mine profitably was
by bottling, Even then the demand is
very limited, as a bottle will go a great
way in a family. A small patch has
paid better for the labor aud land than
any other crop I have ever grown.
Last Spring, having a surplus, I sent to
New York, and received reply that
there was no demand, as the market
was overstocked, At present it is hard-
bringing enough in that market to
pay for digging.
Sunflower Seeds for Fowls.—Sun
flowers and parsnips can, and ought to
, made two of the mo6t profitable of
crops. Six hours spent in planting
sunflower seeds on waste lands, in the
feuce corners and around stumps and
rocks in the cornfields and on the bor
ders of marshes and swales in meadows
will insure a crop equal In value to five
acres of corn. They require no culti
vation whatever; and they will grow
and flourish on any kind ot ground,
though, of course, rich cultivated lands
will produce ihe largest crops. Any
ordiuary farmer can produce a hundred
bushels of sunflower seeds, and gather
them in on his barn floor for less than
$5; and for feeding and fattening fowls,
chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese, a
bushel of those seeds is worth more
than two bushels of corn. It is not
necessary to shell and clean the seeds.
The heads should be cut off and gath
ered into a drv place betore they are
fully ripe; for if left to ripen on the
stalks the birds will gather the harvest.
The sunflower heads may be thrown to
the fowls. They will do the threshing.
Iti= well to plant sunflower seeds early
in the spring, or even in November
preceding; but if planted at any time
before the twentieth of May they will
freely mature belore the autumn freeze.
Ordinary frosts do not alieet them.
Farmers who do not care to raise sun
flower seeds lor profit should plant them
for the wild birds. Every bird from
the wren and the reed-bird to the flick
er, the blue-jay, the quail and the par
tridge will go for them with avidity.
Seeds for planting can be procured at
any country store where other garden
A Wonderful Box.
A l>ox constructed of common flooring is
plnced upon a couple of carpenter’s dogs.
The box is aliout four feet high by three in
length and two and a half in breadth. The
strips of flooring are securely nailed to up
right standards, one in each comer. The
angles are also securely strapped at inter
vals with iron straps screwed firmly to the
timber, both at the sides and at the bottom.
The lid is constructed of the same materials
as Ihe box, has a pair of heavy strap hinges,
and is fastened by a hasp and staple, the
latter receiving a powerful padlock. Two
carpenters were recently called upon the
stage, as a special committee, to examine
the receptable and report whether there
was any false bottom or any mode of open
ing it except by unlocking it and lifting the
lid. After a full inspection, during wliich
the box was turned over, sounded, pulled
aliout, and tested in every possible manner
known to the trade, the committee pro
nounced it a strongly made packing box of
the ordinary pattern. One of them, at re
quest of Macalister, then closed the box, af
fixed the padlock, turned the key, and put
the latter in his pocket. As a further pre
caution he tied up the padlock in such
manner that it was impossible to get at the
keyhole. The piano played slowly, and
screen was moved lietween the audience
and the box, but not so as to conceal it en
tirely from view, or to admit a substitution.
The magician passed behind the screen as
noiselessly as a cat. In somewhat less than
30 seconds the screen was withdrawn,
the committee were requested to examine
the box. Meanwhile the magician had mys
teriously vanished. They reported that the
lock had not been tampered with, unlocked
it, and lifted the lid, when up leaped the
mysterious magician, like Jack in the fa
mous toy, or the goblin in the Arabian le
gend. The question was liow he got in

magician in the box, with tlie'same careful
attention to detail that had been previously
observed. Music trickled from the keys
of an unseen piano, and th^ green screen,

the amateurs who were present.

The Cedars of Lebanon.—I visited the
cedars for the first time in the Bummer
of 1860, and was struck by. the similar
ity of cedars to fir trees. A cedar la in
fact nothing but a big fir tree, of which
there are many species, all closely re
lated to each other. Having been born
In a fir tree country, and knowing that
those trees are not generally among
those which take many years to attain
their full size, I conceived some doubts
as to any of the cedars, even the most
enormous, being as old as Solomon’s
time. But the next year I was able to
set that question at rest, to' my "satis
faction at least, for I must confesi that
I am not in any special sense a botan
ist. I revisited the cedars in 1861,
and found one of the five or six prin
cipal giants, at whose stupendous pro
portions I had wondered the veir be
fore, lying on the ground,havingbee*

the winter. Monks were busy sawing
it into pieces, and had already severed
from the trunk one of the two i*arly
equal stems into which it branched at
about ten, certainly not more than
twentv feet inom-ttreground-; Icomted
the rings at that place, and fir sur
prise they were only't*© hundrid or
thereabouts. 1 confess it was dificult
for me to believe that that enormous
branch was only two hundred years
old; and if it was only that age, the
whole tree could not have been iiuch
older, for fir trees, so far as I am aivare,
never grow new branches below older
ones; and when that branch was first
projected, at twenty-feet or less from
the ground, the tree could not have
been much more than 'twenty fears
old.

hours and is then taken out and the

the cans holding it in a skillet fillet
with water and set upon a range, a
grate being olaced on the bottom of the
skillet, upon which the can rests and
thus prevents burning. The milk is
heated near to the boiling point. When
the first bubble rises on the cream it is
immediately removed from the fire,
The milk is then removed to the dairy,

Formation oe Soils.—The successful
cultivation of the soil depends upon
chemical principles. Our soil is com
posed of organic and inorganic sub
stances. Bed heat will destroy the or
ganic part, which consists of two
groups of matter. The one contains
nitrogen; the other is destitute of this
element. All plants pioducing soils
must contain a supply of these sub
stances. The important inorganic ele
ments in the soil are potash, soda, mag
nesia, oxide of iron, sulphuric acid and
phosphoric acid. A healthy plant con
tains them all. If any ot these elements
are wanting in any soil, they must be
reproduced by the application of fer
tilizers.

pie. Tuesday—Stewed mutton, plenty “Yes,” shyly responded the young
lady.
.“And may I ask,” he continued, in a
voice of emotion, “ what those qualities
are?”
“I can hardly explain,” said the
young lady, bashfully; “but I really
think it is because your bead is so
mellifluent—I can’t express it more
clearly.”
“And you can never know how I ap
preciate your high opinion,” exclaimed
the happy bachelor, as he pressed her
hand.
He didn’t know just what “melli
fluent” meant, but he was sure it was
the synonym for something grand
and ennobling; and, when he bade her
good-night, he rushed eagerly home,
excitedly took down the dictionary,
and feverishly turned to tho 'endeared
word. His blood changed to ice as he
read:
i “Smooth, soft, mellow.”
A Palpable Hit.—Not long ago, in
_ a country town, a barrister was exam-
the pork on Friday, with potatoes, cold- ining a lady witness who would talk,
slaw, &c.; dessert, a boiled bread pud
ding, made of risen bread dough, as
light as possible, with plenty of dried
currants or raisins or both.
Colored Glass Pictures.—The amients
had a most singular art of founlng
pictures with colored glass* It con
sisted in laying together litres of glass
of various colors, Mtted to each jther
with the utmost exactness, so that a
section across the fibre represents the
objects to be painted, and then ceoent-
ing them by fusion into a homogeieous
solid mass. In the specimens of this
art which were discovered aboui the
middle of the last century, the paiiting
has on both sides a granular appear
ance, and seems to have been form*d"in
the manner of mosaic work; but the
pieces are so accurately united tha, not
even by means of a powerful magiiiy-
ing glass could the junctures be dicov-
ered. One plate described by Whkle-
man exhibits a duck of various cdors,
the outlines of which are well decided
and sharp, the colors pure and vvid;
and a brilliant effect has been obtained
by the artist’s having employed in bine
parts an opaque, and iu others, a trans
parent glass. The picture appears to
be continued throughout the 'diole
thickness of the specimen, as tie re
verse corresponds in the minutest
points to the face; so thit were the
glass to be cut transversely, the same
picture of the duck would be foun^ ex
hibited on every section. It is cDLjeet-
ured this curious process was tie first
attempt of the ancients to preseive the
colors, by fusing them into the ir.ternal
part of the glass; which was, hovfcver,
)ut partially done, as the surfaces have
not been preserved from the action of
the atmosphere.

clearly proved the fact that the mmoles

To Boil Apples.—About the nicest
morsel that ever tickled the palate Is a
boiled apple—not boiled like a potato
nor steamed like a pudding, but as fol
lows: Place a layer of fair-Bkinned
Baldwins or any other nice variety, in
the stew-pan, with about a quarter of
an inch of water. Throw on about half
a cup of sugar to six good-sized apples,
and boil until the apples are thoroughly
cooked and the syrup nearly thick
enough for jelly. After one trial, no
one would, under any consideration,
have fair-skinned apples peeled. The
skins contain a very large share of the
pictous {jelly making; substances, and
impart a flavor impossible to obtain
otherwise. A wise housekeeper, in
stead of throwing away the skins and
cores ot sound apples, would use them
lor jelly. A tumblerful of the richest
sort can thus be obtained from a dozen
apples. Boil the.skins,etc.,afew min
utes and strain. Add a little sugar to
the liquid, and boil until reidy to turn
into the tumbler.
and who would not let any of the law
yer’s quibbles get the better of her.
The forensic advocate grew irate at the
old lady’s loquacity, and as she stepped
down after her badgering, remarked:
“You see, your Honor,these old women
will talk. They are verv trmibi«aomo
and will waste the time ot the Court.”
His Honor looked up, relieved himself
with one of his peculiar sighs, and
replied: “Ah, Mr. , there are other
ohl women in thi« court who waste time
besides that respectable old lady who
has just left the witness box.” The
lawyer collapsed. His honor looked
very serious, but everybody else en
joyed the luxury of a broad grin, the.
hit was so direct.
Sweetbreads, if properly cooked,
make one of the most delicate dishes
that can beput upon the table; but care
must "be taken in selecting them, as
there are two kinds, and it is only one
k;nd that is really good. That one is
found in the throat of the calf, and
\vhen fresh and in perfection it is
plump, white and fat. The other,which'
does very well for croquettes or any
dish which may be chopped, lies below
the diaphragm and is really the pan
creas. However the sweetbreads may
be cooked, they should be always first
soaked for three hours in cold water,
which should be two or three times
changed; then they should be put into
boiling water for half an hour or longer
if that docs not make them firm; then
they may be dried in a towel and
pressed flat by putting between two
pans or boards, with a pressing iron or
other weight on top.
To Clean Kid Gloves.—Few persons
know how easily kid gloves can be
cleaned at home. Lavender,baff, rose,
white and such delicate ones, can be
cleaned best. Benzine can be procured
for about fifty cents per gallon, it va
ries in i>i*ice, being sometimes as low as
forty cents, or as high as eighty cents,
according to the market. Pour a tea
cupful of the benzine into a pint bowl
aud put a pair of glove3 into It, soaking
them completely and rubbing them to
gether just as if you were washing cot
ton rags. Then rinse them in lresh
clear benzine, squeeze them as dry as
you can, beat them against each other,
and hang them out in the air. In an
hour or less the odor will be gone,
and they will be found very clean at-d
soft.
“In selecting a bow,” advises a sport
ing coteraporary, “be sure and get one
that will fit you in weight, length,
etc.” How many girls think of this
when selecting a beau? Not one in a
dozen cares a cent whether the beau
fits in weight, length, and so forth,
provided his bank account is of the
right dffciensions, while some are
guided by the quality of his clothes
and the size and color of his mous
tache.
A Parisian Debtor.—For the last
eight days one of X’s creditors has had
a daily appointment with that amiable
spendthrift for 10 A. M., sharp, and X.
always apologizes and asks him to call
next morning at the same hour. Fi
nally the creditor says very politely :
“Perhaps if I were to cirll at a later
hour ” X., with great effusion :
“No, no; come to morrow at 10 o’clock
sharp I wish always to be called at
that hour.”
Bottles of port w r ine from 45 to 100
years old have -been analyzed by
Berthelot with the view of asceriain-
ing the changes which time effects in
that liquid. He found that in thelOO-
year old wine the cane-sugar had en
tirely disappeared, and that there W’as
very little of it iu the 45-year old bot
tle. About a fourth of the acidity had
been lost through etherification, l’he
amount of cream tartar was nueh
under the normal solubility. Ihere
was little or no change in the alechol;
the old wine contained the same pro
portion of it as new pbrt. The cases
contained in the wine corresponded to
the normal saturation of it by the gases
of the air.
“Ah, by Georgfe!” groaned young
Mr. Lethered, sinking wearily into an
office chair, “Ah, by George, my head
aches fearfully.” “Possible?” asked
Mr. Hardfax, his employer, with
look of curious interest and sympathy.
“ Possible? Something must have
got into it.” And then for a long time
nobody said anything, and the room
seemed to grow about fifteen degress
colder.
The Castor Battle Field.
On a bright clear morning, two news
paper men accompanied Lieutenants
Clark and Pbpe, of the Second Cavalry
and Eifth Infantry; Jackson a scout,
and two of Sitting Bull’s former braves
over the divide and down Custer’s trail
beside a little stream to the battle
ground. This part of the trail had
never been traced since the battle. In
going down the creek valley we passed
the spot where Cu9ter first heard the
Indians were located, and saw the
lodge poles of the large village which
had moved two days before he came
down to the oiher side of the Little
Horn river. Here I picked up the
skull of Little Wing, an Unoapapa
Sioux Indian, who had been killed in a
fight with General Crook, a few days
previous to the Custer fight. He was
known to the Indians who guided us,
and his death was described by them.
A little further on we came to the
place where Custer left Reno and made
his long, wild charge that ended in a
glorious but disastrous death to him
and all his command. This trail we
followed for four or. five miles to
Keogh’s, Calhoun’s and Custer’s hills,
where we found the bleaching bones of
the men and horses of the troop. Here
we joined General Miles and the party
who had gone with him on his tele
graph trip two daysf before, and shortly
alter the train and the rest of the com
pany came up from the last camp on
Till loot’s kjr two o’nWk .t.hfl tflnla
were pitched on the spot across the
Little Horn where the largest portion
of the Sioux were encamped the day of
the fight, and the rest of the day was
spent in discussing the massacre, bath
ing in the river and taking a rest. Next
morning the train was started down the
river to Fort Custer, and the party
mounted and rode up to the place
where Reno halted on his charge;
thence to the wood where he retreated;
thence to the high hill east of the river
where he dug the rifle pits, w*as joined
by Benteen and rescued by Terry the
day after the fight. From there all
rode along the ridge of hills that over
looked the camp down to Custer’s Hill,
and thus completed an exact study of
the field, aided by scouts and Indians
who took part on both sides during the
battle, and the skilful disquisitions of
veteran soldiers and Indian fighters.
After having done this we all rode
twelve miles down to Fort Custer, a
large post which has been recently
located at the junction of the Big Horn
and Little Horn rivers.
Fried Bread Cakes.—Take bits of
bread you may have left after meals,
soak them in milk, or milk and water,
until perfectly soft and mash fine; add
two eggs, a pinch of soda, salt to taste,
and enough flour to make them fry
nicelv; drop the spoonfuls into hot
butter or lard. These are inexpen
sive and very good, and it is a much
better way to use dry bread than iu
puddings.
A Nice Broth for a Sick Person.—
Take a few slices of lean dried beef, put
to boil in a quart of water or a little
more; wash two tablespoonfuls of rice,
put it in with the beef and simmer
slowly till the rice has boiled very ten
der; put in more water, if necessary,
while boiling; when done take out the
beef and add one or two teaspoonfuls of
rich sweet cream; boil two or three
minutes, pour Into a bowl, and when
cool it is ready for use.
No Hospital Needed.—No palatial
hospital needed lor Hop Bitter’s patients
nor large-salaried talented puffers to
tell what Hop Bitters will do or cure,
as they tell their own story by their
certain and absolute cures at home.
The Topic of the Hour.—A good
story is told by a teacher of a Sunday
eohovl. A bunJfty o« Swo ago o*»o ask»(J
her class of little girls who went into
the ark with Noah. None of them
seemed to know, but one little girl
thought she must say something, and
not knowing, used her natural born
right of guessing, and to the amusement
of the teacher replied, “His sisters and
his cousins and his aunts.”
Nothing can reach out farther than
a cough at church. It may come from
the remotest corner of the rear, but its
echo tickles the throat of those in front,
and then creeps down the aisle and
touches the ushers, and floats from the
choir to the minister, and never re
leases iu hold until it has wrung a sym
pathetic explosion rom every victim.
Perhaps you’ve noticed if.
A Detroiter cured a long and severe
attack of neuralgia by falling down
stairs. That’s nothing. Some years
ago a Norristown youth was cured of a
bad habit of swearing by falling off a
cherry tree. Not a single oath escaped
his lips since. The fall broke his
neck.
Millions of intelligent women say
that Dobbin’s Electric Soap, (made by
Cragin & Co., Philadelphia.) is in
every respect, the best soap ever made,
and will do three times the work of
any other. Try it.
A Partial Blockade
Of the main avenue for escape of refuse from
the human system is utterly subversive of

imminent danger of inflammation of the
bowels and their total obstruction occurring,

the juices of the stomach, aud other unhappy

Coarse stockings are taking th? place
of bathing shoes, that are always jetting
full of sand however carefully tied.
They are thought to be supeiior in
point of modesty also, but this fastid
iousness -rises possibly from the fact
that so few women, even among the
young and handsome, preserre the
shape and elasticity of the feet. Of
perfect hands and throats, anti bust:
there may be many and various, but
rarely ii^leed, doth the sculptor find a
foot like that of the Princess Pauline
Bonaparte, fit to be modeled in marble
for the delight ot. all the world who
have seen it. If Angelica’s foot were
as perfect in its way as her dimpled
Bboulder, she might be as liberal in her
display of the former as she goes across
the shining sands to her bath in the^
morning as she is of the latter, en
grande tenue, in the ball-ioom at
night. A clever writer says, to the
feet-should be given as nice care as to
the hands, beginning with a bath of
fifteen minutes in hot soap witer, fol
lowed by scraping with an ivory knife,
and rubbing it with a ball of sandstone.
The nails may be left to take care of
themselves, with constant bathing and
well fitting shoes, unless they have be
gun to grow into the flesh, when all to
be done is to scrape a groove length
wise in each corner of the ntil. The
whole foot should be annointed with
purified olive oil, or oil of sweet
almonds, after such a bath. The “oil
will soak off the old skin, and wear
away the scaly tissue about the nails,
while it renders the soles as soft and
pliant as those of a yoqng child. Such
treatment persisted in will make the
foot as supple and elastic as the Arab’s
and help to realize that high bred
ideal figure that so few women even ap
proach.
