    REYENGE FOU A MAKRIAGE.
A Yonivr lrl Kidnapped by her Unde
nts Father's Search for fain tost l.'alld-
Feund through the Efforts of the Masons
From the Detroit Free Preet, July 20.
James II. Baker, a dnputy Bheriff of
ingnam oonnty and a resident ot Lan
sing, passed through Detroit last evening
tn twite for Suspension Bridge, having
in his care a girl ten years old, named
tieien Mclubbee, who win be restored
to her father and mends at that point.
The little girl's adventures during the
past seven months have been curious
and extended, and bug could naraiy be
persuaded by her protector that they
were shortly to terminate in happiness
and rest. As Mr. Baker states her case,
and as little Helen herself relates it, she
has been made the tool whereby a
vindictive relative struck a most cruel
blow at other relatives for the sake of
revenge.
About a year and a half ago, Helen's
father, who was a widower, and residing
at Montrose, Susquehanna county, Pa.,
his present address, was married again,
his choice not at all pleasing his relatives,
particularly a brother of the former wife,
whose name is Daniel Haywood. This
Haywood is a single man, somewhat ad
vanced in age, and was a travelling
agent up to a few days ago, being now
' travelling " to escape
THH VENGEANCE OF TIIE'LAW.
He made his home with McKibbee,
and the two had many hard words in
regard to the marriage. At length
McKibbee turned him out of doors one
day, and forbade him to enter the house
again. Haywood swore to be revenged,
and deolared that no ordinary vengeance
would satisfy the insult which he deem
ed his character had sustained. He re
mained about the neighborhood, but
McKibbee paid very little attention to
bis threats, and instructed his wife and
two daughters to give him no notice.
One evening in September last, while
Helen and her sister, who is about six
teen years old, were returning home
from a neighbor's, the road being lone
some and unfrequented, they were met
by Haywood, who leaped from a buggy
and ordered them both to get in, being
bo violent in his actions that the girls
dared not disobey him. Whipping his
horses into a run, he had taken them
about two miles when the elder girl
leaped out of the vehicle and made her
escape, he being pursued several miles
by some farmers on horseback, to whom
the girl related the matter of kidnapping.
Just how far they rode Helen does not
remember, but it was for many hours,
and then they stopped only for a short
time, and she was taken on board the
cars. Haywood impressed it upon her
mind that it she called him by that
name, made any alarm, or dared to hold
any conversation with strangers her life
should be the forfeit. He also tried to
flatter her, and between his ferocious
threats and his promises of new clothing
and fine jewelry, the little girl rendered
him obedience.
A CHANGE OF NAME.
Helen remembers passing through
Cleveland and her steamboat ride to
Detroit, and then she found herself in
Lansing, and was informed by Haywood
that her home would henceforth be
there. During the evening of her arrival
she was taken to the north end of the
city, and to the house of a resident
whose character for integrity, honesty
and manly worth has never been ques
tioned until now. She was there told
that her name had been changed to
Gage, and that she must never tell any
person a word about her other name,
parents or home. The citizen has sev
eral relatives in Lansing, and this Hay
wood is distantly related to each one,
this fact probably inducing him to put
the stolen girl into the hands he did. In
a few days Helen was provided with
books and sent to the Fourth Word
Union School, her name being upon the
records as Gage.
FRUITLESS SEAKCII FOU THE GIRL.
When the older daughter reached homo
and related her story, there was immed
iate excitement. The officers of the law
started out in every direction, neighbors
turned out on the hunt, and the search
was not discontinued until it became
apparent that the kidnapper had re
moved his victim far beyond the reach
of the ordinary officers. Then the police
superintendents of the principal cities,
and the county sheriffs of all Pennsyl
vania were appealed to, and the father
expended a large sum of money within
the month endeavoring to gain a clue.
The girl had had her photograph taken
a few weeks before, and one of them was
re-copied, and a specimen sent to every
point and to every official where there
was the slightest hope of success ; but
every effort failed to track the villain
further than to the point where he took
the cars.
APPEALING TO THE MASONS.
A firm of lawyers, all of the partners
noted for being equally good detectives,
wag then secured by the father, and they
got handbills, advertisements, circulars,
and sought in every way to discover the
girl's abiding place ; but they got not
even so much as a trace. The victim's
parents were half crazed with grief, the
case gained notoriety throughout the
whole State, and, as a last hope, the
lawyers determined to appeal to the
Masonic fraternity throughout the Uni
ted States for assistance. This was in
May last, after seven months of weary
and fruitless search. A circular contain
ing ft close description of the girl, and
detailing the circumstance of the case,
was mailed to sever! hunlrxl lodges
one of them to that at North Lansing.
George H. Greene, W. M., reading the
circular over, it was potssedto some of the
brethren, and the neighbors of the maa
who had the girl in charge came to the
conclusion that Helen was the one sought
after. If not, she was a stranger whose
history had never been told, and about
whose past life no word was ever drop
ped. Determined to proceed cautiously,
one of the brothers wrote to the firm of
attorneys, stating his suspicions, and as
soon as . steam could bring them the
father and one of the firm arrived at
Lansing. ' The father remained shut np
in bis room at the Lansing House fear
ing that if he was seen oa the streets his
child might be hurried out of the city.
Securing the help of an attorney named
Wiley, the lawyer was granted a writ of
habeas corjms, procured the assistance of
Sheriff Baker, and the three walked
down to North Lansing, firmly believing
that the girl was found at last. Arriving
at the house they found it locked up,
curtains down, and the neighbors stated
that the family bad suddenly gone off
" oa a visit." In spite of all the care
taken, it bad become known that the
child's friends were in town, and she was
SPIRITED AWAY. -J -''-'
This was on the 8th of June. When
the father was informed of the circum
stance he broke down and wept like a
child, having had his mind fully made
up tnat his searcn was at an ena. j ne
matter of working up the caso was then
given' over to Baker; the Pennsylvania
lawyer promising to holp as he could.
Knowing the citizen who had been keep
ing the child, and something of his rela
tives out of town, Baker ond the lawyer
hunted over several counties, and Baker
at length went home and left the lawyer
at Monroe to watch certain parties. The
great fear was that the girl would bo
spirited out of the State, and Baker was
thus forced .to. watch Huy wood's ten or
a Aoxr.n relatives to see that nbtie of
them loft town' on such an errand. He
knew that the fomi'.y were stopping in
Monroe county, and had learned that
they did not take the girl wilh them
when so suddenly shutting up their
bouso at Lansing.
WHAT HAD BECOME OF HER t
One mornincr last week, one of the
relatives, a female, left the city for the
North, and eluded Baker in her getting
away. He followed on the next train,
found that she had stopped nt Corunna,
pioked up the girl, who was there secret
ed by a friond, and then passed on to
Detroit, remained here over night, and
had next morning taken the tram for
Hillsdale. He followed on, being but a
few hours behind her, and sure of his
clue ; but she reached Hillsdale in time
to take Helen four miles into tho coun
try, and to go herself three miles in
another direction before he arrived.
Halting only long enough to procure
a livery team, Baker began his search,
and in four hours had the girl in his
possession, and both were confronting
the Lansingite who had furnished a
home for her at the instance of Hay
wood. He was in Hillsdale county to
help get the girl away when she should
arrive, and had Baker been a few hours
later Helen would have started for
Kansas. She was taken back to Lansing
and her father telegraphed to, and she
passed through here last evening as
stated, her father telegraphing that he
would meet them at tho Falls. Her
happiness at being cn rmitc for home
could not be concealed, and she could
not be still a moment.
HOW THE CONSPIRATORS WORKED.
Haywood's solo object was revenge.
He meant to deal the father a most
cruel blow, and he did. In addition to
his own personal transactions, ho re
ceived assistance from a number of
friends, who watched McKibbee's every
action, two or three times frustrating
his plans in securing a clue. These same
parties are supposed to have telegraphed
to Lansing when they found that Mc
Kibbee and his lawyer had at length hit
the right track. So well did these con
spirators watch the postofiice at Mon
trose, that the lawyers had to have let
ters directed to them under another
name. The search for the c'iild also in
cluded the search for Haywood. He
was at Lansing several times, but this
was before the right clue had been gain
ed, and he is now supposed to be in
Kansas. Ho was discovered in Massa
chusetts last winter, and a requisition
made on the Governor of that State; but
before he could be reached he had fled,
having been warned by his friends at
Montrose.
The method used to securo a trace of
tho child was not original, although tho
Masonio lodges are not a channel for
communication of this kind. When a
whole Stato and its daily and weekly
papers were interested in the fate of a
stolon child, the fraternity were only
too glad to extend all assistance to
further a successful search.
Tho Wonderful Victoria .Falls.
The last number of Petermanri Mitthe-
ilungcn contains an interesting descrip
tion by Herr Mohr of a visit to the Vic
toria Falls, on the Zambesi. " I attained
the object," he says, " for which I had
made so many sacrifices, after innumera
ble difficulties and endless trials of pa
tience, on the morning of the 21st of
June. To proceed any further an un
dertaking which I had often contem
plated was unfortunately impossible ;
the negroes could not be persuaded by
any means to go beyond the waterfall j
my clothes were torn to pieces, my pro
visions greatly reduced, and I had not
powder enough for eight days. The
length of the fall is nearly an English
mile i it is 400 teet deep, and the can
over which the water Hows is from 280
to 3(50 feet wide. The Btream above tho
fall 'flows from north-northwest to
Bouth-southeast. To the south of the
fall, and parallel with it, lies a thick
tropical wood on a peninsula; its soil is
covered all over with the foot-prints of
buffaloes, rhinoceroses, and elephants.
Nearly in the middle of the stream, close
to the fall, lies Garden Island, where its
discover, Dr. Livingston, landed and
planted a small garden with useful
plants, which, however, have been
destroyed long ago by animals and
weeds, ine most imposing view of the
fall is from a point at the extreme east
of the western peninsula. The greatest
mass of water comes from the west, the
least from the east; the two unite under
your feet, and the combined stream flows
on in a channel only 270 feet wide, be
tween dark precipices.
Learn to Cook Well.
Tho health of the family depends npon
it. We know that there are those who
associate luxury, effeminacy, and their
dependent ills, with every attempt of the
kind recommended ; but wo do not be
lieve that health is promoted by eating
raw carrots or doughy bread ; or that,
to secure long life, it is necessary to turn
cannibal. Nor were men made to graze
as cattle do, or eat food like dogs.
Nor is it necessary, in order to shun
the errors of which we speak, to rush in
to the opposite extreme. Good cookery
does not consist in producing the highest
seasoned dishes, nor such as foster a mor
bid appetite, but iu preparing every
dish well, however simple or common it
may be. There are, for instance, fami
lies who never eat any good bread from
one century to another, and have no idea
of what it consists. Nor are meats cooked
any better within their precincts. Those
simple and healthy delicacies which the
good housekeeper knows intuitively bow
to produce, are never seen here. Even a
dish of potatoes cannot get themselves
cooked right. A person might as well
go among the Hottentots, as far as any
proper oooking is concerned.
These things ought not to be, nor is
there any need of their existence, if the
wife has any just notions of her obliga
tions to herself or those about her.
The science of bread-making, meat
broiling, stewing, roasting and boiling ;
of vegetable-cooking, and of preparing
the many small dishes of various sorts,
which go to make pleasant the table and
those about, are hers hers to under
stand and practice.
A FRONTIER TRAGEDY.
Horrible lteault ot on Indian Flftht.
I From the fit, Joeeph Herald, July 25.
On Saturday evening there arrived in
St. Joseph a young man who gives his
name as Win. MacMooro, who relates a
terrible story of his adventures on the
Texas frontier. He says he went from
Eliznbethtown, Ky., in tho summer of
1869, and went to Texas. In June he
engaged with one J. C. D. Blackburn, a
government contractor, to drive a team
to Fort Sill. His train consisted of four
teen wagons, with fourteen persons as
drivers, and started for the fort. On
Sunday evening, June 25, the party had
reached a stream, which was skirted by
a strip of timber, about thirty miles east
of tho fort, when they were suddenly
ATTACKED BY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
CHEYENNE INDIANS. ,
Part of the teams had crossed the
stream ; two (one of them the team dri
ven by Mr. jviacMoorei Had not yet
come up, and one had stuck fast in a
ditch. A number of the drivers had dis
mounted, leaving their arms in the
wagons, to assist in extricating this
wagon. No one for a moment dreamed
that a foo was nenr. Tho Indians wore
posted in the timber on both sides of the
stream, and kept concealed until the
party wero completely in their power.
Then they came dashing out, with hor
rid cries, and in a moment's time the un
fortunate teamsters found themselves
completely surrounded. Resistance
seemed hopeless, and yet to give up was
certain death. A few of those who were
in their wagons fired a dozen or so shots
but without effect.
KILLED, WOUNDED AND 8CALPED.
The contest was soon over. Sevon of
tho party wero shot dead on the spot,
another was wounded, and then scalped
and tomahawked ; and six, with Mac
Moore, taken prisoner. MacMoore can
not say what was done with the train
and stock, as immediately after his cap
ture he and his companions wero bouud
and removed from tho spot. i.he sav
ages moved to tho northwest, and after
goiug some distance 'camped for the
night. The next day offer the capture,
ono of tho party, who attempted to es
cape, was shot dead.
BURNED AT TllE STAKE.
On the next Friday the savages came
to the conclusion to torture two of the
teamntors, Jack Jones and Thomas Hay
ward, and in the evening proceeded to
carry out their purpose. The unfortu
nato men were brought out and bound
hand and foot to a stake. Their tongues
wore then cut out it is supposed to pre
vent them from screaming when burn
ing and their ears cut off. A heap of
fagots was then put around the stake,
and so arranged as to bo slow iu burn
ing. The entire band then formed in a
ring, ond indulged themselves iu the
luxury of tormenting their victims be
fore tho work of torture commenced.
The other prisoners wero brought out
and forced to witness the horrid sight.
The fagots around Jones were dry and
burned quicker than had been intended,
and his sufferings were soon terminated,
tho stomach and lower part of the body
being first consumed. Hayward died in
about thirty minutes, and his agony was
terrible. MacMoore says the remem
brance of that scene can never bo effaced
from his memory.
DETERMINED TO ESCArE.
Satisfied that they would soon share
tho fato of their companions, the re
maining prisoners, MacMoore, Henry
Brown, and Harvey Jackson, determined
to make an effort to escape at any haz
ard. They were closely guarded, how
ever, and for some days no opportunity
wa3 presented. On tho night of the 9th
of July a heavy rain set in, and their
first good chance lor escape came. J. no
Indians had been drinking considerable
fire-water during the afternoon and
evening, and slept very sound. About
midnight JUaciloore discovered tnat tne
buckskin thongs with which he was
tied, dampened by the rain, began to
" givo " considerably. With BOtne exer
tion he succeeded in getting his hands
free, but could not unfasten his feet.
Henry Brown discovered his bonds "giv
ing" too, and ho succeeded in freeing
himself. Ho tuen approaoncd an uncon
scious savage, drew a knife from his belt,
cut the bonds of his comrades, and the
three hastened away. After going Borne
two miles together, tho three separated
for safety, and started for Fort Riloy.
MacMoore reached the fort on Wednes
day, having walked ono hundred and
twenty-five miles in two days and a half.
His feet were terribly lacerated, and he
bad nothing on but two shirts and a pair
of drawers. Brown reached the fort four
hours later in the day, and Jackson came
in next day. Tho parties were nearly
exhausted, and would have perished had
it not been for the assistance of some
friendly Pottawatomie Indians, whom
they met on Tuesday. Jackson remained
at the fort, his feet being so sore that he
oould not travel. Brown started to Den-
r. On Wednesday, the 13th ot July,
MacMoore started ou foot for Leaven
worth, and walked the entire distance,
reaching there on Saturday. The same
evening he took the cars on the Kansas
City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs road,
and came to St. Joseph. That night he
stopped at the residence of C. II. Buck-
man, Jisq., whose wite is a relative or ms.
On Sunday he went to the house of Mrs.
Bush, on Bush street, who is his relative,
where he is now stopping.
WHITE MEN WITH THE INDIANS.
Mac.Mnnrfi aivx that one-fourth of the
. j
party of Cheyennes was composed of
white men, and many ot the Indians
speak English. Among them was a
man named Stanloy,from eastern Texas,
who said that he bad killed thirteen
men, and intended to kill five times as
many more. The whites dressed like the
Indians, were just .as barbarous, and
seemed to enjoy the torture of Jones and
Hayward with as much zest as the In
dians. WHITE WOMEN CAPTIVES.
The Cheyennes bad two white women
with them as prisoners one, a Mrs.
Bowman, aged about 35 years, from
about Guadaloupe Mountains, in Texas.
He was unable to ascertain the circum
stances attending her capture. The other
was a good-looking woman, aged about
18, named Miss Emma Bailoy. She,too,
was from Texas. These captives were
treated well. The Cheyennes were well
mounted and armed.

An Orchestral Experience.
A correspondent of the St. Louis lie
jnhlican tells this droll story :
I was an orchestra once, for ten min
utes, and afforded great satisfaction.
Let me tell you about it. It was in Troy
some years ago. Mrs. Waller, the noted
tragedienne, was playing that child of
the Dismal Swamp, the ." Duchers of
Malfll," and a dark and desperate piece
it is. After a series of awful disasters,
tho unhappy dnohoss very properly goes
out of her head. She is confined in a
madhouso, and one act of the play trans
pires in this madhouse; ond during en
tire scenes the groans and cries of thi
demented are heard outside.
To do this accompaniment in shnpo,
tho manager had the orchestra, all able
bodied Dutchmen, who were uunllj in
the music-room playing peuny-uuto
when not " rung in," at this mad junc
ture gathered iu the green-room under
the stage. A hole woh bored in the ceil
ing above, and a string attached to tho
prompter's desk was depended through
it. In solemn conclave sat the Dutch
men one with the string in his hand
aud as the prompter tugged it above
each one for himself sent up a dismal
howl that lifted the hnirs of the listeners
in front. One night during the Duchess
of Malfil run, I strayed into the green
room and enjoyed the wild-beast show,
as I called the howling musicians. Be
tween ono batch of howls and another
quite an interval occurred. During this
interval one by one the suffer rs dropped
out. I was perched under a gas-light,
deep in some novel of that period, when
the string commenced to wiggle violent
ly. All tho demented were gone, tho
wails of tho damned were expecttd ; I
let one or two awful shrieks, thinking it
might help 'em up stairs, or bring the
stray howlers back on duty.
One pair of lungs wasn't enough ; tho
string kept thrashing up and down, when
my eyes lit on the biggest brass footer I
ever saw, left by ono of the renegadf-s.
No soonerseen than I tackled it. I lost
sight of the string, I lost the power of
hearing with my first blast. Mrs. Wal
ler said, as she knelt on the stage above
me: "Hark I hear ye not, how sighing
on tho wind comes the wail of the lost
spirits '(" Sho paused for the wail ; I
did my level best, and lifted her six
inches off tho boards with my first blast.
That seemed to inspire me. I ignored
the Btops that might have cramped my
great achievement, but bidding farewell
to all my fears of ruptured blood-vessels
or total deafness, or future punishment,
I let out that which was most within mo
and havo never had a stomach-ache
since. But the audience they roared,
and the manager cursed, and Mrs. Wal
ler flew down the green-room stairs.
There I was, absorbed in my tremendous
performance, oblivious of all beside the
success of my musical efforts. The man
ner in which my orchestral essay wus re
ceived, closed my career as a female
wind instrumentalist.
A Remarkable Woman..
Fanny Taylor, who is one of the pris
oners in the Richmond jail, is apparently
about forty-five years of age, has a strong
constitution and extraordinary physical
powers. She stated that sho was born
in Spottsylvania county. When young
she ran away from Goochland Court
house with Kobinson .v Ildred s Uircus,
with which she remained several years,
and established a reputation as a femalo
athlete and gymnast. Sho afterwards
learned the shoemaker's trade, and served
five years in this business, part of the
time possing for a man. She then served
two years at blacksmithing, and claims
to be able to shoe a horse as well as any
body. She was in Richmond during the
war, ond was constantly before the po
lice court for gambling and fighting.
Some ot these fights were very serious.
She at one timo stabbed Mr. James Mc-
Donough on Seventeenth street. She
assaulted Mr. Joseph Mayo, while he
was Mayor of Richmond, and had a reg
ular prize-fght with a soldier, during
the war, and won tho light; but the
hcht she takes most pleusuro in recall
ing was with Mr. Banks, deputy jailor,
in which Mr. Banks camo out second
best. While confined in the city jail
about threo years ago, she effected her
escape by climbing over the wall that
surrounds the building, and letting her
self down on the outsido with a blanket
cut into a rope, and obtaining a suit of
men's clothes, made her wayto Peters
burg, where sho remained for a time em
ployed as a shoemaker, but afterwards
returning to Richmond, she was recog
nized and returned to jail. Strong
drink is Fanny's greatest enemy, and
the cause ot most ot her difficulties,
though she has, naturally, a very high
temper. She is remarkably industrious,
and very cleanly, and in jail, where she
cannot get whiskey, Mr. O'Dwyer as
sures us that he has never known a more

The Follies of American Women in Pari?.
In treating of the politics of women it
would hardly be a possible thing to ig
nore the hegira of American women in
Paris during the last twelve years. To
gain Paris is the end and aim of the am
bitious dreams of many of our infatuat
ed countrywomen. It has been to them
what riding in a cart was to Tilly Slow
boy "the summit of human happiness,
tho highest pinnacle of earthly hopes."
And once there, throwing appearances
to the winds, these husbandless wives
lead a career much more Parisian than
the Parisians themselves, paying little
heed to the covennnces, which' are almost
always regarded by European women.
To be admired by the Emperor was a
matter of boast. To be talked about be
came the only earthly good. Three
American women, whoso names are so
well known that they would be imme
diately called in every club and in every
parlor in New York, have a European
infamy in this way, and unfortunately
their example spread, for they were band
some and gifted. They bought beauti
ful dresses for their friends at home,thcy
were much courted by tho more decent
Americans, very glad to be admitted to
the Tuileries, even by the back stairs.
The curtain has fallen on unhappy Paris
whoso follies were those of the Russians
and Americans, far more than her own ;
and one at least of these poor butterflies
the most brilliant of all, has been crushed
on Fortune's wheel. What has become
of the others 'i What will be their fate,
what their old age, when the poor glory
of being the Emperor's favorite is taken
away, and when beauty goes and only
the memory of folly remains':1 Yet the
story is as old as Messalina, as Theodora?
as Uerodias. Women will dance before
kings, and they will worship false gods.
Tbey will mistake notoriety for tame,
and will linger in the glitter of a ficti
tious brilliancy, till some dreadful spec
tre of a gray hair or a lost charm tells
them that they have eaten of Dead Sea
apples. Lijfincott't Magazine.

Insect Enemies of Fruits. In a
recent address nt Cornoll University, J.
J. Thomas had this to say of insect ne
mins to fruits :
First, as to universal remcdi., tho
most important being to secure hoalth
ful growth by good culture. Iloalthy
plants are best able to withstand the ef
fects of disease and depredations of in
sects. Growth must not bo too feeble
on the one hand.nor too succulent on the
other ; the happy mean of a good.strong
growth, but well ripened and matured,
munt be aimed nt. No general rule of
culture can be given ; it must depend
upon the Boil ond olimato. On the poorer
soils of Now England and New York, it
might be necessary to cultivate constant
ly and to manuro abundantly, while on
the richer soils of tho West, it might be
necessary to keep orchards in grass, so
as to repress a too vigorous growth.
Tho tent caterpillar is one of our most
common insects. By far tho best remedy
is to go in the orchards in tho autumn or
winter, ond destroy tho nests, which ore
readily found encircling tho branches;
if the eggs should hntoh in the spring,
the insects may be destroyed by swab
bing with thick lime wash. Perfect im
munity fAim injury, so far as the tent
caterpillar is concerned, is only o ques
tion of labor and attention, no skill be
ing required.
The canker worm makes comparatively
slow progress, but if, nevertheless, a for
midable enemy. It is now common in
New England ond New York, and is
progressing towards the West. As the
female cannot fly, the remedy consists of
preventing her from climbing up the
trunksjof the trees. The simplest remedy
is a belt of cotton around the trunk,
smeared with tar. This must be renewed
as often as the tar becomes dry. Per
haps the best remedy is to put a square
box around tho base cf the'trunk, and
nearly fill it with cinders, or ashes and
earth, A flange is put around tho top
of tho box, which is failed wilh oil. The
insects, in their efforts to climb the tree,
fall into the oil and ore destroyed.
The codling moth must be tct down
os tho worst enemy of the opplo. It at
tacks the fruit itself. This insect was
introduced from England in the first
part of the present century, and has
spread with great rapidity throughout
the country. Even beyond the Missis
sippi it is only too well known. One of
tho best remedies is to keep swine in the
orchard, which eat tho infested apples
as they drop, ond thus destroy great
numbers of the larvio. Sheep, which are
about as tond as boys of green apples,
perform on equally useful work. These
remedies have proven success! iu m nu
merous cases. If sheep ore used, it may
be necessary to protect the bark, as they
sometimes girdle young trees. Another
remedy is to surround the trunk with a
hoy rope. Many larvio seek this when
about to change to chrysalis, and may
be destroyed.
The borer is sometimes very destruct
ive, and great care and attention are
demanded. Prevention must first be at
tended to. By smearing the trunks with
soft soap, tho beetles are prevented to a
great extent from laying their eggs ; but
the young borers must bo destroyed. A
little care in observing will show where
tho young larvio has. entered the trunk,
and a slight cut with a knife will soon
dispatch him. If well advanced, a wire
must be thrust into the burrow of the
borer. Many fine orchards have been
destroyed by this insect j a little care
and labor would have prevented such a
result.
Aphides sometimes infest leaves to
such an extent as to injure tho orchard.
byringtng with strong soap suds is the
proper remedy. For field mice, clean
culture is an effectual remedy. Grass
nnd weeds must be kept away from the
bases of the trunks ; ond as an addition
al safeguard, mounds of soil may be piled
up around the trunk in the autumn to
be removed in the spring.
Remedy for Scalds and Burns.
A correspondent writes to inform us that
the readiest and most useful remedy for
scalds and aburns is an embrocation of
lime water and linseed oil. These sim
ple agents combined form a thick, cream
like substance, which effectually excludes
the air from tho injured parts and eases
the inflammation almost instantly. He
mentions a case where a child fell back
ward into a tub of boiling water, and
was nearly flayed from her neck to below
her hips. Her agonies wero indescriba
ble; but her clothing being gently re
moved, and the lime and oil preparation
thickly spread over the injured surface,
she wus sound asleep in five minutes.
Subsequently the part wero carefully
washed with warm milk and water three
times a day, the oil dressing renewed,
and the little patient rapidly rcaovered.
Though all the scalded skin came off,
she did not have a scar. This remedy
leaves no hard coat to dry on the sores,
but softens the parts, and aids nature to
repair the injury in the readiest and
most expeditious manner. The mixture
may be procured in the drug stores, but
if not thus accessible, slake a lump of
quicklime in water, and as soon as the
water is clear mix it with the oil and
shake well. If the case i3 urgent, use
boiling water over the lime, aud it will
become clear in five minutes. The pre
paration may be kept bottled in the
house, and it will be as good when six
months old as when first made.
