HOW CUSTER FELL
Vivid Account of the Dashing
General’s Final Charge.
Last Desperate Rally Against
Sitting Bull’s Cohorts.
Capt. Charles King's article in
Harper on “Custer’s Last Battle” has
this thrilling account of tho general's
death:
Never realizing, as I believe, the
fearful odds against lull, believing
that he would find the village “on the.
run,” and that between himself and
Beno ho could “double them up” in
short order, Custer 1 ad jauntily trot¬
ted down to his death. It was a long
five-mile ride from where ho sighted
the northern end of the village to
where he struck its centre around that
hold point of bluff, and from the start
to the moment his guidons whirled in¬
to view, and his troopers came gal'op-
ing “front into line” down near the
ford, ho never fairly saw tho great
village—never dreamed of its depth
and extent.
Hounding the bluff, lie suddenly
found himself face to face with thou¬
sands of the boldest and most skilful
warriors of the prairies, lie had
hoped to charge at once into the heart
of the village, to hear the cheers of
lteno's men from the south. Instead
he was greeted with a perfect fury of
flame and basing lead from the dense
thicket of willow and cottonwood, a ;
fire that had to be answered at once.
Quickly he dismounted his men and |
threw them forward on the run, eaeh 1
fourth man holding, cavalry fashion,
the horses of the other three. The line
seems to have swept in parallel very
nearly with the general course of the
stream, but to no purpose.
The foe was ten to one in their
front. Boys and squaws were shooting
from the willows (“Oh, we had plen¬
ty guns!” said our story-tellers) ; and
worse than that, hundreds of young
warriors had mounted their ponies
and swarmed across the stream below
him, hundreds more were following
and circling all about him. And then
it was that Custer, thc hero of a hun¬
dred daring charges, seems to have
realized that he must cut his way out.
“Mount!” rang thj trumpets, and
leaving many a poor fellow on the
ground, the troopers ran for their
lmrses. Instantly from lodge and wil¬
low Ogalallas and Brules sprang to
horse and rushed to the ford in mad
pursuit. “Hush for the Heights!”
must have been the order for tho first
rush was eastward; then more to the
left, as they found their progress
barred.
Then, as they reached higher ground,
all they could sec, far as they could
see, circling, swooping, veiling like
demons, and all the time keeping up
their furious lire, were thousands of
thc mounted Sioux. Hemmed in, cut
off, dropping fast from their saddles^
Custer's men saw that retreat was im¬
possible. They sprang to the ground,
“turned their horses loose,” said the
Indians, and by that time half their
number had fallen. A skirmish lino
was thrown out down the slope, and
there they dropped at five yards inter¬
val; there their comrades found them
two days after.
Every instant the foe rode closer and
gained in numbers; every instant
some poor fellow bit the dust. At
last, on a mound that stands at tho
northern end of a little ridge, Custer,
with Cook, Yates, and gallant “Broth¬
er Tom,” and some dozen soldiers, all
that were left by this time, gathered
in the last rally. They sold their lives
dearly, bravo fellows that they were;
but they were u» a dozen to the leaves
of the forest at the end of twenty
minutes, and in less than twenty-live
—all was over.
Artificial ice a Success.
The manufacture of artificial ice lias
been begun in Heading, Pa., and the
enterprise is already pronounced a
decided success. The ice is made into
oakes of one hundred pounds cach,
and is declared to be of the finest
quality. The retail price is the same
as that of natural ice. Several of the
big brewing companies of Reading
have decided to manufacture artificial
ice. The Reading Brewing Company
is now manufacturing artificial ice by
the ammonia process.
Decay of Stone Buildings in Europe.
A thousand years hence nearly all
stone buildings now standing in Eu-
rope will have crumbled to dust. So
perishablo is tbe material of which
they are constructed that the process
of decay is already evident in many
conspicuous edifices. Thc same thing
is going on in this country. Neither
marble nor brown stone can withstand
the action of the elements. Even the
capitol at Washington is undergoing
disintegration.
Good Society.
The extremes of individuals serve
to balance society, and out of their
manifold differences is produced licr
harmonibus progress. Just as the
perfection of a curve demands that its
successive portions sha' l have constant-
ly differing directions, so the best good
of society requires that each individual
shall think his own thoughts, live his
own life in Read of copying or being
merged inly those of his neighbors,.
'UR FARM AND HARDEN.
RAISE MOKK MUTTON.
This is what wc have urged for
years—that farmers should raise and
also cat more mutton, and so we
agree with Colonel F. P. Curtis when
lie says, In bis sermonette style, that
every farmer should have a flock of
sheep. “Tim Merino is better adapt¬
ed to the rigors of our climate than any
other breed. But they are not valuable
ns mutton sheep; wc must cross them
with thc mutton breeds, ami the pro¬
duct will lay on fat and please and pay
their owners. Again, if we make
sheep pay we must raise crops to feed
them on. Haiso turnips and feed
your mutton to your family, selling
any surplus.” Yes, supply your fam¬
ilies more mutton and fruit and less
“hog and nominy,” if you would ren¬
der them healthier aud happier.

THE riK-pl.Avr.
The rhubarb , , , or pie-plant . is , the best ,
cooking substitute for the apple ... the
spring and early summer when the
latter is out of season. As the seeds
cannot always be relied upon
produce exactly the same variety, it 1 s
best to buy a few plants from seeds-
men for onlv a few stands will be
•
required . , to furnish , supply ... of stalks
* a
for . a family. The roots of . a , large f
piaut , mav . be divided so as to make
1 ‘
one or more additional stands. The
plants may be transplanted in the fall
or spring. The soil should be rich and
highly fertilized and the deeper and
more thoroughly the manure is worked
in thc better. The stalks should not
be plucked until tbe plant has gained
strength and a large growth, nor so
many at a timo as to enfeeble it.
About three feet apart each way is the
rivbt distance. It should have a good
dressing of manure every fall.—[New

now to Test a horse.
If you find your horse’s disposition
will do, you must next try his powers.
Get to ascertain the capacity of the j
lungs. Unless these are sound ami ;
capacious the best legs will '
not carry
him fast. On a good level road or |
on an uphill slope and without much
load either on him or behind him, get
him to trot a mile iu five minutes, j
Then get down and watch him breath- j
ing. See if the nostrils easily open :
quite wide enough for their work. |
Listen at the windpipe and take care
there is no sign of wheezing there,
Look at the flanks and see if they are
working hard or if they quiet down
as they do directly after the horse 1
stops. Especially notice if their work- j I
ing is regular, and with no double
spasmodic effort to expel the wind. !
Any sign of such uncomfortable action |
should be a fatal objection to any j
horse, and your trial need proceed no
further.—[New York Journal.

keep cows clean.
Sometimes milk lias a “cowy” odor
and the cause is little understood.
Cows drink large quantities of water
and not half of it passes through the
kidneys. When iu health and the skin
cieau, by far the largest part finds an
outlet through tho pores of the skin and
takes along with it effete matter and
offensive odors which are thrown off
Lhrough the tine capillaries with the
perspiration. Proper action of the
sku. is as necessary for the purifica-
tion of the blood as is tiie healthy ac¬
tion of the lungs. When milk has a !
cowy odor, it is certain that thc skin j
is not working right, allowing tho im-
purities to be thrown back into the i
blood, whence somo of them find their j
way into the milk, making it smell of
the cow.
This suggests that to have pure milk
clean and sweet and free butter, from the scurf skin wiiich must fills be j ;
up the pores; frequent grooming Is
the easiest way. Clean cows do not
give “cowy” milk. For the same rea¬
son most people afflicted with diabetes
are those who neglect personal clcanli-
ness. Incipient cases of this malady
can sometimes be remedied by ju¬
dicious bathing, and so can offensive
odors of tho person. — [G. W., in

SOME TROUBLES INCIDENT TO MILKING.
Spattering of milk is very annoying
to a good milker, but it is easily reme¬
died. It is caused by tho exfoliation
of the skin at the end of thc teat, ami
around the orifice of tho duct a very
small scale will do the mischief. Gen¬
erally this may bo remedied by rub¬
bing the end of the teat with the lin¬
ger or scraping it with the finger-nail,
but if not a small piece of pumice-
stone rubbed on thc end of the teat will
remove the obstruction.
Hard milking is worse than an an¬
noyance, it is a positive trouble, a
“disease,” in fact, to the milker. It
is natural to some cows, being caused
by an excessively stringent coutrac ile
muscle at tbe end of the teat, whicli
closes the orifice and prevents the pas¬
sage of the milk without wearisome
force of the hand. This evil may be
removed very soon by the follow¬
ing device: A small piece of
tough wood, about an inch long, swell¬
ing in the middle, so that it will stay
in the teat, and having a round head
0 „ to prevent k passing into the teat,
ls we i| oiled, and after the milking
s H P ,md in tbc opening of thc teal/
It should be about a sixteenth of an
inch thick. This will stretch the
cle at the end of the teat, which
like a rubber band under the skin, and
enlarge the orifice, but it must not
used too long n time, or it will
the muscle too much. It is better
use it for two or threo days at
vals of a week, and so gradually
a cure.—[Practical Farmer.
FATTENIN'!! POULTRY FOR MARKET.

It ... imperative . that , , food . , , be given
is
three times and water once each day
during the fattening period. The best
food for rapid fattening as well as the
production of well-flavored flesh is
buckwheat meal, mixed with swee 1
skim milk, into a thick mush. It is to
thc use of this grain that thc French
owe in a large measure the splendid
fowls they send to market. An excel¬
lent substitute where buckwheat
meal is not avilable is an equal mix¬
ture of Indian and barley meal, mixed
when convenient, with skim milk. It
is a wise plan to give minced green
food daily in addition to the ration al-
ready suggested,
Poultry Is most readily fattened bc-
fore severe weather comes ou. As
prices usually go up a little before and
after Thanksgiving the poultry is often
held back for that season. Chickens
that were hatched in the early spring,
if they have been properly fed, bring
extra prices at Thanksgiving and
Christinas times. Another good innr-
ket season is the later one of Lent. A
very general plan is to fatten for mar-
ket during the Autumn ordinary hens
and cocks that have nttained to thc
second year. These fowls of course
do not command as high prices as
younger ones, but there is a large class
of purchasers for them. Provident
housewives, keen to save, will often
select these older birds for “fricassee”
rather than pay a few cents more per
pound for those tender enough to
roast.— [New Y r ork World.

erate tire; meanwhile mix smoothly
tho yolks of two eggs, a wineglassful
of milk and a little salt and pepper,put
them into a small pan rubbed with a
little salad oil, set the pan within a
larger pan containing hot water, and
stand both upon the stove until the
custard hardens, Avhen it may be cut
into thin inch strips with a sharp knife
point, ready to add it to the soup when
it is cold. When the soup bolls mix a

Hints for Housewives-
Cabbage a id greens are nn agreeable simple
addition to auirnal food. The
boiling of cabbage, greens, broccoli, tur¬
nip tops, arc all done exactly alike, except
as to time. Young summer eabages take
about a quarter of an hour, old ones half
an hour. Broccoli from ten to fifteen
minutes. Turnip tops a quarter of an
hour or twenty minutes; it is best to try
them with a fork; directly they are ten¬
der they should be tuken up before they
lose their color.
Always be careful that greens are nicely
picked and washed before cooking, not
only to remove dirt, but also to dislodge
insects. The surest way of doing this is
to lmvc ready a pan of warm water alid a
pan of cold; wash the greens first in the
warm water, a handful at a time, then
throw them directly into the pan of cold;
when ull arc in the cold water, w»sh well
untl change to another cold Water. They
should never soak for a moment in the
hot water. The warm water loosens the
insects, and they will drop out into the
cold, and sink to the bottom of the pan.
Some people | ut salt into the washing
water, this kills the insects, but makes
them stick to the vegetable. After
this process they should be well
drained from the cold water so
that the boiling water iu the
saucepan may not be checked more
than possible. Have ready a saucepan
with plenty of water quite boiliug, add a
iittlc salt—about two tnblespooufuls to a
gallon of water—and a small bit of soda
about the size of aeommon nut; this will
keep them a nice green color, but if too
much is used the greens will be spoiled
both in appearance and flavor. Throw
the greens into boiling water and make
the saucepan boil up again at once, and
keep it boiling fast with the cover off, or
partly off, not to shut iu the steam. Care
must be taken that smoke from the fire
does not get in. Smoky push vegetables down the are
extemely disagreeable;
greens occasionally with a fork and or cooked spoon,
so as to keep them covered,
equally; when the stalks are tender they
are done.
Lettuce forms the chief part of the
salads throughout the spring and summer.
The two chief kinds are the cabbage into and
