The American Tiger,
The oougar, or American tiger, which
is not unfrequently killed in the South
west and in Texas, seldom measures more
than sis feet in length j and fortunately
for they are very destructive they
are but seldom seen in any inhabited
part of our continent; but. wo notice
that one was recently slain in California
which measured nine feet, including the
tail, which is about one-third of the
whole. Their habits are exceedingly
solitary, and they never approach the
residences of human beings except when
impelled by hunger preferring the most
retired pusses in the mountains and the
deeper gloom of the swamps. Hunting
only for game in the night, and possess
ing, as wo have already stated, an extra
ordinary power of concealment, tfiey
are strangers everywhere, and their" ap
pearance throws neighborhoods into ex
citement, for the mystery attending
their movements ever exaggerates the
idea of their power to injure and destroy.
The cougar reaches the top of a tree
with almost the ease of a bird depend
ing upon his claws to retain the momen
tum in his favor gained by his first
spring. Selecting a lower limb of some
gigantic tree that overhangs a watering
place, or a " salt-lick," if one be in the
neighborhood, he lies extended along his
perch, looking upon the most critical
examination of a spectator more like a
line of dried moss, or an excrescence on
the bark, than a blood-thirsty beast of
prey. Here ne keeps his vigil his eyes
alone' are moving ; but even their fires
are partially quenched from, observation
by silken lushes, which, like the lantern
of the thief, darken the light that it may
not betray. Most animals of the forest
drink at night, and at particular places ;
thus finally the deer, the elk, or even the
lordly buffalo appears, and ere it has
slaked its thirst, the cougar has dropped
from his nestling-place and descended as
quiotly as a dried leaf upon the neck of
his victim. But now all is changed the
' cougar instantly becomes the active fiend
his claws and teeth sink into the quiv
ering flesh, and away flics the fated vic
tim with the speed of an arrow. In vain
it rushes against the trunks of trees, or
scours through the hospitable cane-brake
to brush off the destroyer the cougar
has fastened himself with the tenacity of
death, and even as the wild race contin
ues, drinks up the warm and throbbing
blood. Life, tenacious as it is among
the ruminants of the forest, is soon sap
ped by the remorseless appetite of the
destroyer ; and as the victim falls and
expires, the cougar stealthily extends
himself along the body, suspiciously
glances around, as if challenging a dis
pute for the prize, and then satisfies for
the moment his insatiable appetite.
Excited now, rather than appeased, he
rushes back to his eyrie, resumes his
watching, and darts down again upon
some helpless animal, accompanying his
acts with ten-fold ferocity blood rather
increasing than appeasing his lust. Thus
passes the night, until the butcher is lit
erally covered with gore. The first streak
of the morning sun that illumes the
horizon sends him to his hiding-place.
With the stealthy, cowardly step of the
midnight assassin and murderer, he seeks
obscurity, and calms his passions by
cleansing his soiled coat of every stain,
and at the olose of the labor sinks into
disturbed sleep, to resume his work again
when the darkness of night rests upon
the earth.
There are times, however, when a de
stroyer more terrible than the cougar
himself is on his path. Tho hunter has
brought the well-trainee,, .dogs to assist
him on the scent, ana already the deep
bay of the excited hound is yelping
forth the desire for blood. The wild
beast a short time before so relentless, so
fiowerf ill, and in his domain so apparent
y omnipotent feels that his doom is
sealed. Strange as it may be, he has an
instinctive dread ; the lord of the crea
tion is upon him ; the breath of powder
unnerves his muscles of iron ; and the
cougar flies flies with even more terror
than the helpless deer that has suffered in
his grasp. As a last resort, he mounts a
tree ; the unerring scent of the dogs
shames the sight in its knowledge, and
betrays the presence of the now immola
ted destroyer. The sharp ringing of the
rifle is tollowed by the. body ot the hto
less couarar coming: helpless to the
ground ; for, with all his power, he yields
to the fiat which gave man dominion
over every living thing that moveth upon
the tace or the earth.
Tho Education of Daughters.
We lately, says an exchange, gave a
very nice letter from a " Boarding School
Friend." In that letter .occurred this
question, supposed to be asked by
mother : " Where shall I put my daugh
ter ( Uur correspondent gave her an
swer, and we beg to give ours.
In this day of easy parting of American
mother and daughter, tor purposes or ed
ucation, or travel, or mere pleasure, just
in the tender years ot the daughter, the
question is one of very deep interest, and
one American mothers should take to
heart with all the weight of that respon
sibility that attaches to the delicate duty
ot molding the American leniale mind,
manners and morals. Our answer will
not suit the fashion of the day, but there
are scores of mothers who will yield a
hearty " Amen to it.
Keep the daughter during her tender
years when her character is forming jutt
.as near the mother as possible. Fart not
the mother and daughter unless there
exists a necessity that is perfectly over
ruling. There is no boarding school this
Bide ot heaven that can supply the moth
er's place. The knowledge between the
two lids of all the books extant is of far
less value to the girl than the care, the
counsel, the example of a yearning moth
er. There must be boarding schools, but
those girls who by force of circumstances
are obliged to go away from home to
school are to be commiserated, for they
are taken away from the mother just
when they should have the niotheri
care, and the best boarding school on
earth cannot supply the place ot " home
teachings.
Foreign travel, under the lead of i
hired governess, is no such training as a
young girl can have under the lead ot a
mother's apron string. There is nothing
that can supply the place, t the charac
ter just forming, of the judicious, edu
cated mother, end the fearful evil of to
day is the fashionable cruelty that dic
tates separation of daughter and mother
jutt at the teuderest time of the young
girl s lite.
The cholera has broken out with great
virulence in amerent parts of India. Up
to August 21 the deaths of 227 Europeans
all in the army had been reported. Tho
disease lias severely attacked her Majes
ty's Sixty-fifth regiment, and at last ac
counts the troops were to be sent into
camp at llawul l'indo. The natives are
also suffering terribly,
Diagnosis of the Horse Disease.
Df. A. Liantard, of New York, in a
lottor to Dr. E. II. Janus, the Sanitary
Inspector, writes as follows :
The Canada, Rochester, or new horse
disease, as it is called, is not a now dis
ease it is nothing else but influenza,
catarrhal fever, epidemiquo laryngite,
typhoide laryngite of the French, an af
fection which we have had and most
likely will have again at different periods.
At first characterized by catarrhal in
flammation of the air passages, it mani
fests iteelf at present by the symptoms of
mild, laryngitis, and this will, if properly
treated, soom yield to treatment. If, on
the contrary, affected animals are kept at
work and exposed to atmosphcrio influ
ences, the disease will progress and seri
ous if not fatal complications of tho
lungs will take place. Tho etiology of
the disease is far from being to-day
thoroughly understood j we, however,
know it to bo more frequent in the spring
or fall of tho year, and it is said to be
most dangerous during the prevalence of
easterly winds. The symptoms will vary
according to the different stages of tho
affection, from a Blight catarrhal affec
tion of the larynx to positive congestion
of the lungs all, however, being prin
cipally characterized by fjeimral debility,
loss of appetite, cough, discharge at the
nose, at the eyes, weuk pulse, increased
temperature, weakness of the circutytory
apparatus exhibited by the condition of
the pulse, which is soft and compressible,
sometimes so weak that it is hardly per
ceptible, and in many cases by the yel
low appearance ot the visible mucous
membranes, especially that of the eye.
The diagnosis of the disease can be easily
made, and no well-educated veterinarians
will have difficulty in recognizing, treat
ing, and, in many instances, mastering it.
The prognosis is not generally serious,
especially if the diseoso is taken at the
onset and the animal placed at once under
proper treatment. But as the disease is
in many cases insiduous in its course, it
requires close watching. As to the treat
ment, It is certain that the conditions of
the patients do not indicate blood letting,
purgatives, arterial sedatives, setons, etc.
Especially debilitating in its nature, tho
veterinarian will, while attending to the
local symptoms of laryngitis by anodine,
cough mixtures, or pastes, mild counter
irritants of tho throat, such as liniment,
mustard applications, and in tome cases
blister, fumigations of boiling water, of
decoctions of poppy-heads, or others of
the kind, watch the general condition of
his patient, its loss ot appetite, ot gen
eral strength ; and soon he will be obliged
to combine this treatment with the ad
ministration of stimulutits, and none
will prove more beneficial than the car
bonate of ammonia mixed with camphor.
These are diffusive stimulants, which in
connection with vegetable tonics will
produce the most magnificent result, if
administered in the shape of pills four
or six times a day as the case may re
quire. '. In many cases small doses ot
diuretics of nitrate of potash in the
drinks or in rectal injections have as
sisted in allaying the febrile symptoms.
bbould the complications ot the trachea,
bronchial tubes, or of tho lungs take
place, more active treatment will suggest
itself, as by the use of more powerlui
counter-irritants upon the sides of the
chest or along the trachea. There is in
the treatment of the present epidemic a
very essential point to take into con
sideration, and which relates to the hy-
gienio attendance ot the affected animals.
Kest as soon as affected is essential, as, if
the animal is kept at work, the disease
will progress, and may prove latal m a
few hours.'' This is a part of the treat
ment I think veterinarians ought to in
sist upon very firmly : Good hygiene by
proper and comfortable temperature of
the stables ; blanketing according to the
condition of the ambient atmosphere :
bandaging ot the extremities after a good
hand-rubbing. Wiping of the nostrils
with vinegar and water is also recom
mended. Feeding, of course, requires
much attention and careful handling
warm gruels, scalded mashes, and oats
mixed with flax-seed. In a few cases
roots, carrots, turnips, or fruits, apples ;
these to be given according to the condi
tion of the bowels. I would also highly
recommend proper ventilation, cleaning
of the stables of manure-pits, white
washing of the stables, and the free use
of disinfectants.
Immense Depth of English Coal Mines.
Science seems' helpless to prevent dis
asters or explosions in the bituminous
mines of England and Wales. In Amer
ica, nearly all the accidents are the re
sult of gross negligence and defiance of
statute laws on the part of the compa
nies. Nearly all ot thorn occur, too,
among the anthracito coal mines of
Pennsylvania. Our bituminous coal is
mostly taken, from near the surface of
the ground, the " shaft " being often
merely a horizontal passage cut in the
side of the mountain, with ramifications
on the right and left. Even our anthra
cite mines have in few cases extended
deeper than six hundred feet. In Eng
land and Wales, however, the shafts
sometimes extend a distance of threo
thousand feet more than half a inile
under ground. The miner's life is like
that of the pearl diver ; he constantly
faces well-understood danger for the sake,
of gaining a livelihood. In entering the
mouth of a pit, he leaves behiud him not
only the light and beauty of the world,
but that sense of security on which the
comfort of most men depends. He passes
even beyond the protection of science, as
it is now. Science, however, has done
much for him. It has provided him
with a safety lamp, and its efforts to ven
tilate the mines have been partially suc
cessful, llow many more lives must be
lost before the success is completed r1 The
record of the last year has not been en
couraging. Home Reading. One of the most
pleasant and noblest duties of the head
of the family is to furnish its members
with good reading. Let good reading
go into a home, and the very atmosphere
of that home gradually but surely
changes. The boys begin to grow am
bitious, to talk about men, places, books,
the past and the future. The girls begin
to feel a new life opening before them in
knowledge, duty and love. They see
new fields ff usefulness and pleasure;
and so the family changes, and out from
its number will grow intelligent men
and wamen, to till honorable places, and
bo useful members of society. Let the
torch of intelligence be lit in- every
household. Let the old and young vie
with each other in introducing new and
useful topics of investigation, and in
cherishing a love of reading, study and
improvement.

The Canons of the West.
Two great rivers the Colorado and
the Rio Grande find their sources in
Colorado Territory, draining the oppo
site sides of the same ran go of moun
tains. One running south-westward,
finds an outlet in the Gulf of California j
tho othor, taking . a southerly course,
goes to swell the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico. Thoso rivers are remarkable
for the deep and extensive coffins or
gullies through which they run.
For many, miles the llio Grande runs
through a deep and precipitous ravine,
over a narrow, rocky bed, its course con
stantly broken by rapids and whirlpools.
On the right hand of this chasm lies
Mexico, on the left the United States.
Far away in the distance, extending to
tho very mountain-top, are seen the in
dications of a canon which marks the
channel of some tributary stream.
The surrounding country is leafless
and barren an arid rocky desert.
The Grand Canon of the Colorado is
more remarkable even than that of the
Rio Grande for the height of its preci
pices and tho desolation of the neighbor
ing country. Not only is the main
stream deep cut in the earth, as thoilgh
a fissure had been formed by an earth
quake, but the country is intersected by
its tributaries, which are buried in a
like manner. The traveller, pursuing
his way over an apparently level sandy
desert, suddenly ond frequently finds
himself on tho brink of an abyss, de
scending almost perpendicularly many
hundreds of feet, in the depth of which
rolls a rapid, narrow and muddy stream.
The appearance of these precipices give
a semblance of truth to the stories about
that region, of travellers who have "walk
ed along the brink of the canon walls in
search of a passage down to the waters,
but vainly travelled for days, and then
perished for thirst in sight of the river
below, which roared its mockery into
dying ears."
Sometimes the surface of the canon
wall is dull and gray in appearance, and
the deep shallow in which it is frequent
ly buried, produces an effect of indes
cribable gloom. Again, the wall is cut
through layers of red and orange sand
stone, which " glitter in resplendent
beauty under the midday sun."
A recent traveller through the Yel
lowstone country speaks of the gorgeous
colors to be seen in the Canon of the
Yellowstone, a canon which, in the wiltl
ness and magnificence of its scenery
probably far supercedes the others.
In the country of these canons the
soil is of such a nature that water easily
works upon it. Even the rocks wear
away readily. The present appearance
of the country shows that it has been
subject to no convulsions of nature for a
long period of time. For ages the peb
bles and sand have been gradually
worn and washed away by the action of
the Btreams, and the rock has been cut
slowly, but suiely, by the same agency.
The channels of the streams have sunk
deeper and deeper into the heart of the
earth, until the abysses are hundreds,
and sometimes, thousands of feet in
depth, with sides, in most cases, so verti
cal that either descent or ascent is im
possible. The streams flowing so far be
low the surface of the land, are useless
lor irrigating purposes. As there is no
moisture there is no evaporation, and
consequently little or no rain. Tho sur
face ot the country presents the appear
ance of a barren desert, incaj able of cul
tivation. .
Whether these regions, with their
labyrinths of gorges filled with narrow,
turbulent streams, and with their dry,
unproductive sui faces, will ever be
utilized by civilizatien, remains to be
seen. It is a wonderful country, but a
country that seems destined, by its very
nature, to remain forever uninhabited.
rrejiidice Against Potatoes.
In Germany there exists a decided
prejudice against potatoes, because they
are composed ot three-tourths water,
with but ten to fifteen per cent, starch
contained in indigestible cells. Ihe
French, who make a perfect science of
the wholo business ot nourishment and
cookery, rarely eut potatoes except occa
sionally tried tor the second breakfast.
They consume beans more than any other
vegetables, and with reason, tor dried
beans contain twenty-two per cent, al
bumen and htty ot starch, and the com
mon lentils twenty-six per cent, of albn
men and filty-six of starch. In the
monasteries of France and Italy great
quantities ot beans are used, especially
during the Lenten season. German nat
uralists are now searching all over the
world for a substitute for potatoes, and
this is believed to have been found in
China in tho dio&eorea 'lavnnica. which en
dures the greatest cold, and is more nour
ishing and better flavored than the po
tato. In the Museum of Natural History
at Paris a specimen three feet long and
weighing tluee pounds was exhibited.
Several German writers upon races
predict that nations, far from improving,
will deteriorate, both in physical and
mental characteristics, if potatoes become
a principal article ot diet.
The celebrated Carl Voightsays "that
the unnourishing potato does not restore
the wasting tissues, but makes our prole'
tariats physically and mentally weak."
The Holland physiologist Mulder gives
the same judgment, when he declares
" that the excessive use of potatoes
anion 2 the Poorer classes, and coffee and
tea by the higher ranks, is the cause of
the indolence ot nations. Leidentrost
maintains that the revolutions of the
last three centuries have been caused by
the changed nourishment. In former
days the lowest workmen ate more flesh
than now, when the cheap potato forms
his principal subsistence, but gives to
him no muscular or nervous strength
A Suit for Malpractice. The cele.
brated suit for $10,000 damages against
Dr. Cross, ot Kochester, Minn., for mat
practice, in setting a boy s arm, has re
suited in favor of the doctor, and the
plaintiff has to pay the costs. The facts
of the case briefly are that the boy was
turning on a horizontal bar, fell and
broke his wrist. Dr. cross was called,
and set the arm ; called the next day
and dressed it again, doing it up in per
manent splints. When he called on the
third or fourth day there is a slight
dispute af to the time he found ruorti
flcation Betting in, and accordingly had
to amputate the hand. The plaintiff
claimed that the rnortihcation bad been
occasioned by the bandage being too
tight on the arm, thus stopping the cir
culation of the blood. Ihe doctors de
fense was that the injury to the wrist
had obstructed the arteries, and was the
cause of the mortification. The uniform
testimony of the surgeonB in attendance
was that the operation bad been per
formed in a skillful manner, and even
the old physician of the family, who had
been summoned front Wisconsin, gave
the same opinion,
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Indiait Muffins. Sift and mix to
gether one pint and a half of j ellow In
dian meal, and one handful f wheat
flour j melt a quarter of a pound of fresh
butter in one pint of milk j beat four
eggs very light, and stir into them, al
ternately (a little of each), the milk when
it is quite cold, and the meal, adding one
small teaspoonful of salt; the whole
must be beaten vigorously ; then butter
some " muffin-rings j" set them on a hot
griddle, and pour some of the batter into
each. Send the muffins to table hot, and
split them by pulling them open with
your fingers, as ft knife will make them
heavy. Eat with butter, molasses, or
honey,
Afixe Jelly. Take sour apples, cut
them without paring into an earthern
dish, and cover them with water; let
them cook slowly until the apple is
cooked through and looks red, then
strain through a cloth, squeezing them
so as to get all the juice ; boil the juice
half an hour, then to a pint of this liquid
add half a pound of sugar (don't use
dark sugar), and boil quickly fifteen
minutes ; then cool, and you will have
nice jelly if your apples are good, and
you have been careful, and made no mis
take. Keeping Onions. The New Fngland
Homestead says : " Onions will withstand
far more cold than is usually supposed.
If packed dry in tight barrels, and all
interstices filled with chaff, they may be
kept in a barn, or where they will freeze
quite hard, and not be injured, provided
the barrels are closed tight and not
opened until the onions are again
thawed. Onions stored in a warm cellar
are very likely to sprout in Winter, and
then decay, emitting anything but an
greeable odor.
Fillet of Veal. Brown a'little flour
in some butter, add some stock to it, a
laurel-leaf, pepper, salt, a little cayenne,
glass ot Maderia, a tew button mush
rooms, and a couple ot trunles cut in
pieces ; lay the fillet which must be
previously half-roasted in this gravy,
stew it for half an hour, and serve, re
moving the laurel-leaf. Forcemeat balls
and stewed sweetbreads may be used as
garnish.
Deviled Turkey. Take a cooked leg
of turkey or large fowl, cut it all over to
the bone, pepper and salt it well, using
black peper and cayenne, then get some
mixed mustard, mix it with about a
third its quantity of flour, and plaster
the leg over with this mixture as tincK
as it will stick, also stuffing the gashes
with it j when this is done, put it on a
gridiron on a clear fire. Serve hot.
