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.

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.

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

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

A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN.
[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.

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
