Pawnee Rock. For fifty years, T-om 1823 to 1573, all trade between the Missouri river and the far Southwest was earned on by wagon trains running from Fort Independence, near Kansas City, Mo., down the Santa Fe trail, which the Atcliiton, Topeka aui Santa Fe Railroad approximately follows, through Kansas to Santa Fe, N, M. Paw nee rock was a favorite camping ground for the wagon trams, because its height— then considerable —insured a place of re treat in case of attack, and there w r as a spring of water at its base. It was one summer night, nearly half a century ago, that a train drew up at the base of the rock, which had among its guard of scouts the famous Kit Carson, then a young man uu used to Indian wart are. Signs of Pawnees had been seen during the day, and there was reason to expect an attack. No camp fires were lit, and, after darkness fell, a strong guard was put out around the camp It was nearly midnight when it came Kit Carson's turn to watch, and, as he stole out into the grass just beyond the camp, the novelty and sense of danger in his situ • ation stretched every fibre to the keenest tension. Suddenly the sleepers were roused by the report of a gun. Every man was instantly on his feet, rifie in hand, ex pecting a volley of arrows. "The Paw nees," gasped Kit. "i 311 st shot one in the grass." The women were hastily con cealed m the wagons, and the men waited the Indian yell and volley of arrows that were each moment expected. But the time wore on, and nothing came. At last the strain relaxed, and oae man stole out to look after some horses that were in danger of being stampeded, lie disap peared in the darkness, and then a burst of laughter rang out on the silent night air. "Come and see Kit's Pawnee," he called, scouts followed him, and there lay Kit's muie shot through the Lead. The The Innocent beast had been peacefully grazing, and Kit had taken the tips of its long ears ior the plumes of a Pawnee warrior. So this bluff from that time to this, has borne the name of Pawnee Rock. Of the many Indian battles and attack* on trains that this crumbling mass has witnessed, no tale of more desperate courage has been handed down than that of two scouts, who were besieged on the summit of thir rock some time in the 'Bo's for three days by a band of Kiowas. A hey fought until their unerring aim made the Indiana fear to ap proach the rock. Then the crafty savages fired the prairie, but the scouts, throwing themselves on liieir faces on the summit of tLe rock, were enabled by a change in the wind, to escape. At last their ammu nition gave out. The Kiowas sent a mes senger to offer them their livisifone would safely run the gauntlet. The scouts accepted this desperate ctiance, and the Kiowas chose Bill Gibson, a famous fron tiersman, to undergo the ordeal. They formed m double line, armed with knives, hatchets and clubs. A little distance beyond stood the chief, who coldly warned the scout that, unless he could reach the cniet's side unscathed and without losing a drop ot blood, the lives of both would lie offered up at the stake before sunset, Gib son stnpped to the waist. The chief gave the word, and scout leaped through the lines as though endowed with the vig or of a demoD. He tossed the Kiowas right and left, dodged between their legs, under their outstretched arms, leaped over them as they stooped to strike him, and finally reached the frowning chief breath less, but saved, for the Kiowas kept tbeir word, and he and his companion xeut free. A Lncky Pocket Handkerchief. In the last year of the seventeenth cen tury a nan appeared in Glasgow in whom the city found a benefactor, who has been rsther urgratefully forgotten. His name was W iison, he was born in Flakefield, and in as far as be is remembered at all, it is by the name of his birthplace. He had been a weaver before he served as a toidier in the Continental wars; and while so serving in Germany his eye was one day attracted by a woven blue-and-white checkered handkerchief. It was a lucky moment for Glasgow when Fiaktlield bought this article. He stowed it away among bis treasures, and he resolved "some day" to weave one like it. In the year above named he and the prized hand kerchief, with Flakefield's father and brother, settled in Glasgow, and there the ex-soldier returning to his old calling, at tempted to produce a woven blue-and white checkered handkerchief. After some unsuccessful essays Flakefield suc ceeded, and the blue-and-white checkers were soon familiar all over the country. There was a rage for the novel handker chief. French set-up looms could hardly produce these articles fast enough, and on them the extensive linen manufacture of Glasgow was founded. Some years after the town drummer of the city was a man who excited much sympathy. This humble official, in fact, was none other than Wilson, of Flakefield, the old soldier and weaver, whose loom had started into life the above named man ufacture. But rival looms, whose owners bad greater capital, beat out of the field the "wabeter body" who had done so much for Glasgow. He fell into poverty, and all that generous Glasgow could or would do for hira was to make him useful (on small pay) in his old days—as town drummer! So runs the story, bnt it is to be suspected that there is a dash of romance in the de t ails. About the time that Flakefield and his kinsmen settled in Glasgow the city was making rapid strides in manufacturing importance. From its 12 000 inhabitants, in 1695, a monthly cess was obtained for the expenses of the war, which amounted to £I,BOO. It seems incredible, but it can be [ roved. The amount of this tribute made Glasgow second only to Edinburgh, which contributed £3,880; ana thus, in the course of a century, Glasgow had advanced from the fifth to the second city in the kiDgdcm of Scotland. A Parisienne's Bath-Room. The bath-room is round, and the walls and ceiling are qnilted everywhere witn black satin, relieved by yellow buttons, there is no window either in the walls or ceiling. The light comes Irom pink lus tres borne by nymphs in white marble. The soia, low and broad, is in quilted sat in. The pier glass is framed with flying cupids. The bath, in black marble, shaped like a Roman car, is half buried in flowers. The gilt linen basket hangs over a brazier, burning perfumes. The carpet is a black bear skin. The lath mixture is compounded after the receipt of a learn ed chemist, of almond juice, benzoin, Con stantinople rose water, cocoanut milk and palm leaves. It should be as hot as pos sible, warm water having, like cold, the effect of closing the pcres of the skin. The bath may last an hour, though most people would be glad to get out of the mixture as soon as possible, and after that another hour may probably be employed in polishing the feet and hands. But the whole time is not necessarily lost to the mind, for ladies may ''meditate on combi nations in toilets" while they are on the simmer. —The highest military rank in the Swiss army is that of colonel. AOMOCTLTURB. VALUE OK FRUIT. —It is a fact that fruit is a great regulator of the human system. It will keep the blood in order, the bowels regular, lone up the stomach, and is posit ively a specific in many diseases. It is said ot a doctor who became largely inter ested in peach growing, that he reeomnieu ded peaches to his patients on all occasious. The story was told to illustrate the man's meanness; but if he was mean it was a meanness that benefitted his patients. If men were wise they would spend two days in a vineyard or orchard to every five min utes in a drug store when anything is the matter with them. If you have dyspepsia, eat fruit. Did you ever tbiuk what a doc tor gives for dyspepsia? He gives an acid. Fruit will furnish a better acid than the drug store will. Do you know what the doctors dose you with when your liver is out of order? With acids. Then why not supply the remedy yourself from your own garden? Why coutinue to have your medicine done up in such a tepuisive mix ture when nature furnishes it in so palata ble a shape. Every home should have at least one grapevine. Once in possession it would be almost above price. W, C. BEKKY stated, at the winter meet ing of the Western New York Horticultu ral Society, that tn clematis is taking the place of the wistana, holding its bloom much longer,and that it needed protection in winter. Mr. Hooker said no climbing dlant has so many recommendations, and different varieties will keep up a succession of flowers through most of she season. Mr Woodward said a wooly aphis sometimes attacks it, but this could be easily removed with whale-oil soap. ii. B. Ellwanger re marked that a small white worm attacks Its roots. Mr. Salter remarked that bisul phide of carbon would kill or drive away this insect. Mr. Willard had raised sever al varieties without winter protection, but Mr. Barry said they would do much bet ter if laid down and covered with ever green boughs or leaves. AFTER discussing the feasibility or a butter standard,the Fanners' Home Jour nal recommends the tollowiug: Flavor 25 points, which should be agreeable, nutty, aromatic, sweet, pure, distinct, and full. Keopimr, 20 points, which are inclined to slow changing, and indicative of stability in retaining good qualities. Solidity. 10 points, such as stiffness of body, firmness, not easily melting or becoming soft. Tex ture 15 points, which are compactness, closeness of grain, breaking with a distinct fracture (like cast iron), fat glclniles un broken and perfect, sticking but little to trier. Color, 15 points, pleasing, Batural, brigh',eveu. Make, 15 points, including all not embraced under the other poiuts.as cleanliness, perfect separation from the buttermilk and proper handling of milk and butter, as churning, working, salting, skilful packing. Total, 100 points. OLD ANIMALS. —It is seldom profitable to keep old animals. This is especial)}' true of sheep. For, more than with most clashes of animals, sheep become weakened by age, and are rendered more liable to contract diseases which will prove fatal, while with increasing age the quautity and value of their products will lapidly dimin ish. Experience has proved that in order to secure healthy and vigorous lambs it is absolutely necessary to breed from sheep which are comparatively young. The heaviest fleeces and the be?t quality of wool are also obtained from young sheep the quautity of wool decreasing as the age of the sheep advances, and the quality of the fibre steadily becoming impaired. Const quently the old sheep should be dis posed of, and only those which are young and vigorous should be kept upoa the farm. MAGNESIA FOR WHEAT. —The author ranks magnesia aleng with nitrogen, phos phoric acid, lime and potash. The propor tion of nitrogen and of phosphoric acid increases in wheat from the time of blos soming to.maturity. Ltme, on the contra ry, decreases, and does not seem to play a very important part in the production of the grain, but along with potash serves chiefly in the development of the straw. Magnesia is more important thau Jime in ihe formation of grain. The mean require ments of wheat in order to produce 40 hectoliters per hectare are: NitrogeD, U2 6 kilos; phoepborlc acid, 37; lime, 25.2: magnesia, 12.2; and potash, 115 2. The "laj ing'' of wheat and other corn is Dot due to a deficiency of silica in the stalks, but to a diseased condition, <x n6equent on excessive moisture and deficient sunlight. THE best soil for whoat is rich clay loam. Wheat likes a good, deep bed. Clo ver turned under makes just such a bed. The best seed is oily, heavy, plump and clean. About two inches is the best depth for sowing the seed, The drill puts in the seed better and cheaper tnan broadcasting. From the middld of September to the last of October is the best time for sowing. Drilled, one bushel of seed per acre; if sown broadcast, two bushels per acre. I'or flour, cut when th£ grain begins to harden; for seed, not until it has hardened. SPEAKING of the heredity of diseases and the importance of sound breeding stock. Manly Miles gives the following case in illustration: A mare affeted with nngb jne that unfitted her for faim work was kept as a breeder for several years. Her colts were quite uniform in form and color, and as they showed no Indications of the dis ease when 2 or 3 years old, they found ready buyers at good prices, At the age of 5 or 6 years, however, they all had ring bone to a greater or less extent, and sever al were entirely disabled. IN the sheep, as in the ox, all the tempo rary incisors, are up at a month old, as well as the first, second aDd third molars. At one year old the two central incisors are changed and replaced by permanent teeth and the fourth and fifth molars are up. Six months later the two lateral cen tral and the sixth molar apperr. At two years and three months the lateral perma ndnt incisors are out, and the first, tecoud aßd third molars are permanent. At three years old the corner incisors are shed, and shortly afterward all the permanent teeth are in the mouth. THE pig acquires a full mouth of incisor teeth at about 3 months old, some time previous to which three molars have ap peared in each jaw, viz., the first, second and third. At 6 months the primolars aud the fourth permanent molar;iu nine months the tusks and fifth permanent molar arc changed. Three months later the first, second and third temporary molars are shed and replaced by permanent ones At 18 months the sixth or last molar arid the lateral incisor are cast, and the changes at this time are complete. FODDER crops do not sensibly diminish in digestibility by being made into hay, if hay-making is carefully carried out in good weather. But the loss of the finer I arts of the plant by rough treatment, or the washing cut soluble matter by rain, may considerably diminish the digestibili ty. Hay appears to lose some ot its diges tibility by lODg keeping. IT is said a dip of water one gallon, ben zine eight ounces, and cayeDne pepper two ounces, will kiil vermin on sheep. DOMESTIC. INGROWING TOK NAILS.— Tliia most painful of the diseases of the nails is caused by the improper maimer of cut ting tlio nail generally of the great too, and then wearing a short, badly made shoe, The uail beginning to grow too loug and rather wide at the corners, is trimmed around the oorner, which giyes temporary relief. But it then begins to grow wider in the aide where it wits out off, and as the shoe presses the flesh against the corner the nail cuts more aud more into the raw flesh, which ho comes exceedingly tender and irrita ble. To treat ingrowing nails, prooeed as follows: Begin the effort at cure by simply application to the ten der part of a small quantity of chloride of iron. It is found in the drug stores in a liquid form, thouuh sometime s in powder. There is immediately a mod erate sensation of pain or burning. In a few minutes the tender surface is felt to be dried up, tanned or muuiinifled, aud it ceases to be painful. The patiout who could not before put his foot to the floor now fluds that he can walk without pain. By permitting the hardened, woodiike flesh to remuin two or three weeks, it can easily be removed by soaking the foot in warm water. By wearing shoes of reasonably good Bize and shape, all future trouble will be avoided. PLAIN PLUM OAKK.— Four pounds of flour, one pound of dripping, the same of good moist sugar, three pounds of sultana raisins, quarter of a pound of candied peel, one teaspoonful of mixed spice, two small teaspoonfuls of bicar bonate of soda, one quart of sour milk or buttermilk, and a small pinch of salt. Rub the dripping well but lightly iuto the flour, then throw in the sugar, rai sins, peel and spice, and mix all wsll together; dissolve the soda in a table spoonful of water and add it to the buttermilk just before wetting the cake with it, which must not beuutil you are quite ready to put it into the oven. Have your tins well greased with good butter and half-till them with your cake mixture; bake as usual. Cake made after this recipe will be found very light and wholesome. Caraway seeds or cur rants may be subsituted for the raisins. Bom.u BEEF.— Prepare your vegeta bles, two carrots, two turnips, one head of celery, two onions, four cloves, herbs sown in muslin, a few peppercorns, a little salt; put all those iu your pot, with about a quart of water, and let them gently boil an hour before you put your beef in; then fill up your pot with water, and put yonr beef in. Seven pounds take about three and a half hours to boil. After it boils, be sure to skim your pot well as it boils up. Allow your cabbage three-quarters of an hour to boil; your little suet dump lings twenty minutes. For gravy, melt a little butter in a saucepan with a little flour; add the liquid in which the beef has been boiled; add a little soy. This gravy must be ready to pour over the cabbage and carrots when dished up. Put the cabbage and carrots 111 a vege table dish when you pour the gravy over them. Glaze the beef over. SwEHTUEEADS WITH TOMATOES.— Take sweetbreads aud parboil them, put them in a stewpan and season with salt aud cayenne pepper to taste; place over a slow fire; mix one large tablespoonful of browned flour with a small piece of butter, add a leaf of mace; stir butter and gravy well together and let all stew for half au hour; then set the stewpan in the oven, and when the sweetbreads are nicely browned place them on a dishpan, Pour the gravy into a half pint of stewed tomatoe ♦hickeued with a teaspootifid of flour 1 nt a small piece of butter, and season, birtin it through a wire sieve iuto the stewpau, let it come to a boil and stir until done; then pour over the sweetbreads, and send to the table very hot. GREEN TOMATO SAUCH.— SIice toma toes; put them in a weak solution of salt and water for two days; then scald them well, as the salt is not to season but to toughen them a little. Put them in a kettle with water enough to just prevent them from burning, and let them slowly cook for an hour; then add a quart of viDegar, one full tablespoou ful of powdered mace, allspice and cloves, one half-spoonful of mustard seed, one teacup of brown sugar, and a few slices of onion. A little celery seed or other flavoring of celery is an improve ment. Ponr this on and cook a half hour longer. This is an excel'eut relish. FOK a chair or sofa back take a square or oblong piece of cream-colored linen momie cloth; on this work in outline stitch a bouquet of flowers or a picture of any kind; at each side of the cloth pull out threads for about two inches, leaving a little space outside, and enough also to make a narrow hem. Catch the threads together at intervals and run in a bright ribbon of the exact width of the space left; fringe out the ends of the ribbon and of the momie cloth. EVERT cook knows how disagreeable it is to have the nutmeg or cinnamon whioh is added to cream and sug;ir for pudding sanee rise to the top of the sauce, aud when it is served to have the first spoonful taken out too highly fla vored and the rest without taste. To remedy this mix the nutmeg or cinna mon with sugar before pouring on the cream; it will then be gradually distrib uted through the sauce. Pour the cream on a little at a time and the sp'.ce will tend to dissolve. Mensman's Peptonized beef tonic, the only preparation of beef containing its en tire nutritious properties.

HUMOROUS. THE man who agrees: "Of course," paid the old gentlemen, the life of the boarding house all summer, ''yon re member that Washington had command of the famous cuirassiers at Waterloo?" "Certainly," replied young Dobbs. "And that if MoClellan had brought up his reserves in time the Greeks would have been driven from the Held before Hannibal could have made his impetu ous charge?" "Yes," replied Dobbs, with ttie air of a man who knows all about it; "yes I have heard it so stated," "If Arabi had not defeated Nebuchad nezzar at Malvern Hill it is my opinion that Ceesar would have routed Grouchy'a guerillas and then beaten Cicero's sharp shooters in detail." "That's the way I look at it,' replied Dobbs. "Oh, it is, is it?" asked the old gentlemen, winking at the ladies. "Well, I'm glad I've found a gentleman who can agree with me on that point." The old gen tleman walked away, leaving Dobbs happy as a lord, he had made such a good impression, you know. But Dobbs would give something handsome to know what the women folks were gig gling about, confound them ! The Popular Demand.

Shust pefore he go dot Yasser down mine uncle dakes off his hat and say to de udder Peebles who vas splashing dot vassor iu, Ladies and schentlemens, I haf de honor to pid yeu good-bye,' and he sunk out of sight dot vassor in." Everybody present said Fritz's uncle was very courteous and polite except Gilliooly, who remarked in his usual cynical man ner, "I don't think your uncle was polite at all, Fritz. He evidently had no man ners, for he should have waited until the other passeugers went down, instead <if crowding down ahead of them, par ticularly as there were ladies in the crowd.

[From the Boston OtoN.] Meatrt, Editor*.— Thy above Is a ffeod likeness of Mrs. Lydla E. Plnlb ham, of Lynn, Mans., who above all other human beings may be truthfully called the "Dear Friend of Woman," as some of her correspondents love to call her. She is zealously devoted to her work, which is the outoomt of a life-study, and is obliged to keep six lady assiidants, to help her answer the large correspondence wluch daily pours in upon her, each bearing Its special burden of suffering, or Joy at release from it. Her Vegetable Compound is a medicine for good and not evil purposes. I have personally investigated it and am satisfied of the truth of thia On account of Its proven merits. It Is recommended and prescribed by the beat physicians in the oonntry. One says s " It works Ilk# a charm and saves much paia. It will cure entirely the worst form of falling of the uterus, Leucorrhcea, irregular and painful Menstruation, all Ovarian Troubles, Inflammation and Ulceration, Flooding*, all Displacements and the con* sequent spinal weakness, and is especially adapted to the Change of Life." It permeates every portion of the system, and give* new life and vigor. It removes faintuess, flatulency, destroys all craving for stimulants, and relieves weak ness of the stomach. It cures Bloating, Headaches, Nervous Prostration, General Debility, Sleeplessness, Depression and Indigestion. That feeling of bearing down, causing pain, wetgnt and backache, is always permanently cured by its use. It will at all times, and under all circumstances, act in harmony with the law that governs the female system. It costs only sl. per lot tie or six for $5., and Is sold by drugg.sts. Any advice required as to special cases, and the names of many who have been restored to perfect health by the use of the Vegetable Compound, can be obtained by addressing Mrs. p., with stamp for reply, st hor home in Lynn, Mass. For Kidney Complaint of either sex this compound is tinsuriiasscd as abundant testimonials show. "Mm Pink ham's Liver Pills," says one writer, "ars the beat in the trorld for the cure of Constipation, Biliousness and Torpidity of the liver. Her Blood Purifier orks f-onder* in its special line and bids fair to equal the Compound In Its popularity. All must respect her sa an Angel of Mercy whose sola ambition 1 to do good to others.
