Scatter oyster shell lime about the

most effective in destroying lice.

being fed off bv sheep wll be made close

which have been imparted to them by
divine aspiration. A delegation of
twelve of their members, as chosen
apostles, have been selected to prepare
a proper Bible for their use, and which
will not be given to any outside of the
families of the chosen. It will contain
the articles of faith, and is supposed to
be mainly composed of extracts from
the Old Testament as they discard the
new version. In some respects they
are communists, as all members who are
worth over $3,000 put their property
together and divide the profits pro
the rata. They take many customs from
Jews, and Lave a large number of
holy days, which they keep very strictly,
besides Saturday and Sunday of each
week, which are observed as days of
rest.. They do not have anything to do
with outsiders any more than is strictly
nece aud Fury. the They never marry but once,
in event of the death of husband
or wife, remain single the remainder of
their life. Divorce and separation are
not allowed, and any difficulty which
may come up in the family or church
are brought before the twelve elders,
from whose decision there is no appeal.
In their dress and mode of living they

Never a rich man, and often a very poor
one, he line not been ashamed to prac¬
tice the most rigid economy. He has

occasion. To the friend who relates
'this story, however, ho presented a

the step.
Iticciotti, whom some foolish people
have called the gentleman of the fam¬
ily, would is a son of whom many fathers
be proud; handsome, generous,
of pleasing address and notably coura¬
geous.
It was ho who captured the only Ger¬
man staudard which fell into the hands
of tho French during the Franco-Prus
siau war, and who alterward wrote a
graceful letter to the Prussian com
m*nder, making light of the exploit.
But he is fond of pleasure and society,
careless in regard to money matters,
and lacks his father's solid republican
virtues of frugality and simplicity.
For this lack nothing can wholly
atone in the eyea of the wise old gen¬
eral; and fond as ho is of the brilliant
and popular Iticciotti, he bestows his
deepest oopfidenee and affection upon
his quieter but more trustworthy son,

A Scared Indian.
The New York Herald correspondent
who journeyed in a canoe down the Mis¬
souri with Captain Boyton gives thia
humorous incident of the trip: Just
beforb we reached the White river we
came seated upon a lonely-looking Indian
on a sand bar iishi lg. He had
fallen asleep and his scarlet robe lay
upon the ground lieside him. The cap¬
tain, bent upon mischief, paddled rap¬
idly toward the drowsy angler, who
awoke as the splashing sound struck his
ears. The savage cangot eight of the
captain in his bleck rubber suit, and
rubbed his eyes, evidently to make sure
that he was not dreaming. Then, with
a shrill yell, he sprang into the shallow
water and tried to wade over to the
mainland. The sands were too soft,
however, and the frightened man be¬
gan to sink. Boy ton advanced to help
him ont of his dangerous position, but
the nearer he approached the more the
Indian screamed and tossed his hands
into the air. Finally I had to pry the
unfortunate buck out of the quicksand
with an oar. As soon as the fellow
reached the shore he scampered off
with loud cries of terror and disap¬
peared among the Lullberry bushes, for¬
getting rod, line and fishes.
This country is never without its
evil. Just about the time the fly diaap
| pears politics begin to get active.
