men in faded and ragged blue uni
l'orme, every face sunburned and
bronzed, every sabre and carbine
showing long use, every horse lifting
its head from the grass at short in
tervals for a g wilt glance up and
dow n the valley., .' ,
Here, at the foot of the mountain,
the Apache trail, which has been
fallowed for three days, has grown
cold. Ave, it has been lost It is as
if the white man had followed a path
which suddenly ended at a precipice.
From this point the red demons took
win??, and the oldest trailer is at
fault.
The men on picket looked up and
down the narrow yalley with anxious
faces. Down the valley, a mile away,
a solitary wild horse paws and pran
ces and utters shrill neighs of won
(Waicut iind alarm. Up the valley
i a Ions-stretch of green grass, the
earth as level as a tl :or and no visi
ble sign of life. The pines and
shrubs and rocks on the mountain
side might hide ten thousand Indi
ans, but there is not the slightest
movement to arouse suspicion. It
is a still, hot day. Not a bird chirps,
not a branch waves. The eye of a
lynx couid detect nothing beyond
the erratic movements of the lone
wild horse down the valley and the
circular night ol an eagle so high in
:iir that the proud bird seemed no
larger than a sparrow.
For an hour every man and horse
has looked for signs, but nothing has
been discovered beyond what has
been "described. It "is a lost trail.
There is something in it to arouse
su.-iiicion as weiFas annoyance. Ten
miles away the trail was as p.ain as ;
a country high way, and the Indians I
had no suspicion tl oursuii- rive

Look, now! A sergeant with griz

They are to scout for the lost

Apaches, eager, excited and mount

base of the mountiia and wait.
The little band gallop straight
dowa upon the lone horse. Now
they are only half a mile away, and
his breath comes quick and his nos
trils quiver as he stands and stares
at the strange spectacle. A little
nearer and his muscles twitch and
quiver and his sharp pointed ears
work faster. Only eighty rods now,
and with a fierce snort of alarm and
defiance he rears up, whirls about
like a top, and is oil" down the valley
like an arrow sent by a strong hand.
The sight may thrill, but it does not
increase the pace of those who fol
low. The men see the wild horse
fleeing before them, but the sight
does not hold their eyes more than
a second. To the right to the left

signals up the mountain side were
visible only for seconds.
After the first wild burst of speed
the lone horse looks back. He sees
that he is not beinz pushed, and he
recovers courage. He no longer runs
in a straight line, but he sweeps
awav to the left swerves away to

Woodman, Spare that Tree."
In the August number of Forestry
appears an important article on the
destruction of American forests by
Mr. William Little, -oT : Montreal.
The constant -drain ' made upon
American lorests for white pine a
wood that furnished three-fourths of
the building timber in the United
States and Canada has at last, he
says, occasioned a scarcity which
compels economists to point to a
time in the very near future when
its total exhaustion may; be predict
ed. The entire 6upply of white pine
now growing in the United States
does not exceed S'.,XiO,OUO,(JllO feet.
The annual production of this lum
ber jg nol far from 10,UO0,O(0,JO0

creasing. -
Fatal inroads have already been
made into the great pine forests cf
the North Atlantic region. Its wealth
has been lavished with an unsparing
hand ; it has been wontonly and
stupidly cut, as if its resources were
endless"; what has not been sacrific
ed to the ax has been allowed to per
ish bv fire. The pine of New Eng
lanj - and jsew .York has already

mterest has saved from needless de-
struction. Canada is almost
in the
same deplorable condition as
the
United States as regards its stock of
valuable pine timber.
Notwithstanding the fences of wire,
the use of iron in ouilding, the terra
cotta and straw lumber, the con
sumption of wooden lumber in

Ell Perkins on Cncle Hank.
Uncle Ilank Allen was perhaps
the smoothest and most accomplish
ed liar in Central New York. There
were other ordinary postoffice liars
in the beautiful village of Eaton, N.
Y where I was born, but Uncle
Hank could lie like a gifted metro
politan. Every night Uncle Hank's grocery
was lined with listening citizens, all
paying the strictest attention when
ever the good old man spoke. When
Charlie Campbf 11 or John Whitney
lied, nobody paid any attention to
them, because they were clumsy
workmen. Their lies would not hold
water like Uncle Hank's. Why, the
old man's lies were so 6mooth,so ar
tistic, that while listening to them
you imagined you were listening to
Elder Cleveland's Bible stories. f
One day they were all talking
about potatoe bugs in Uncle Hank's
grocery, which was a sort of village
farmer's club. Finally Charlie Miles
remarked casually that he thought it
was going to be a potato bug year.
'Talk about it's going to be a po
tato bug vear !' exclaimed Mr. Purdy.
'Going to be ? Why, they were eo
thick in my garden this morning
that I could not see the stalks. I
counted 902 strong, healthy bugs on
one hill. Twenty-eight bugs on one
stalk !' and the doctor Etruck the air
with hid fist . ,
'Twenty-eight buzs on one stalk,
only twenty-eight?' said Charley
Campbell, contemptuously. 'Why,
they ate up my first crop of potatoes
two weeks ago, and they are now sit
ting around the garden on trees and
fences waiting for me to plant them
over ngaiD.'
Old Uncle Hank now scratched
his head thoughtfully and then re
marked :
'Gentlemen, you don't any of you
appear to know anything about the
ravenous nature of them potater
bugs. You may call me a liar, but
I've had potater bugs to walk right
into my kitchen and ynk red hot
potatoes right out of the oven. Wait
ing around the potater patch for the
second crop !' exclaimed old Hank,
with a sneer. 'Waiting! why, con
found your eyes, 1 was up to the
Townsend's store the other day, and
I saw potater bugs up there looking
over Townsend's books to see who
had bought seed potatoes for next
year. 1 did, by gosh 1'
The whole grocery was still when
Uncle Hank finished. You could
have heard a pin drop. Finally a
long, lean man from Woodman's
Pond raised himself up near the
door. He was evidently a new
comer, and was not acquainted with
Mr. Allen. Pointing his long finger
at Uncle Hank he said :
'You are a liar!'
Uncle Hank looked over his glass
es at the stranger long and earnestly.
Then, holding out his hand, he in
quired with a puzzled look :
'When did you get acquainted
with me?'
Hoots lor Sheep.
It is possible for us to learu very
much from the farmers of Europe.
They are under the necessity of mak
ing the utmost profit that any branch
of agriculture will yield. Conse
quently their farming ojerations are
reduced to a science. Ours oughtto
be, but while we have so much land
that is practically exhaustless in
fertility we shall not bend our ener
gies to make every foot of land and
every animal produce to the extent
of its ability. There will also be ex
ceptions, however. There will al
ways be fanners who will try to do
the" best they can, upon the very
common-sense principle that when
two dollars can be made just as well
as one it is better to taxe the two.
Such men, if they happen to be en
gaged in sheep husbandry, will
make a study ol European systems
of breeding, feeding and manage
ment The Englishman has made
sheep raisiDg profitable to a very
high degree. He has shown us how
to improve our sheep by careful
breeding, and he can ihow us how
to manage them ' with profit Of
course', it is not practical . for. us to
follow Eniopean systems of feeding
literally, but in these systems we
can find the principle of success.
In England roots are largely fed, and
there is a question if I hey " are not
fed to too large au extent especially
those that contain such a large
amount of water as turnips. But in
this country, as a rule, we do not
feed enough. In the work on
"Feeding Animals" bv Professor
Stewart, itis stated, as the result of
careful exieriment, that ten pounds
of turnips with one and a half
jounds of corn will fatten a young
sheep or lamb faster than three
pounds of com alone. The feeding
uf roots in England, although we
believe it is too extensive, ia the se
cret of successfull sheep-feeding in
winter there. It will be more mild
ly adopted here. Prafessor Stewart
savs that this will be the case unless
the silo shall preserve better green
food at a less price. Well, we do
not believe the silo will ever do it
It could preserve better food if the
crop to be ensilaged was carefully
selected, but we cannot get,ridofour
doubts that the cost will more than
outweigh its superiority. Boots are
good enough for sheep and they are
cheap.
Hard to Beat.

A farmer came into a grocery store
the other day and exhibited to the
eyes of an admiring crowd an enormous-
egg, about six inches long,
which he avowed to have been laid
by .' one of bis own henB.- He had
it packed in cotton, add wouldn't
allow anyone to handle it for fear of
breaking the phenomenon. The
groeeryman examined it with the
rest, and.intending to chaff thecouu
trymau, said i
"Pshaw! 'I've' got" something in
the egg line that will beat that."
"I'll bet you $5 joxi haven't,"
said the countryman, getting excit

"Take it up," replied the grocry

j An tentorial Box. 1 I -
The office of the Milwaukee Jour
nal is next door to an undertaker's
establishment, and there is usualy
a cofiin or two on the sidewalk wait
ing to be used. It in related that a
man came to the Journal office to
have a luss with the editor over
something that had been said in the
Eaper, and he was pretty mad when
e accosted the general business
manager, Mike Kraus. He spoke of
desiring blood, aud expressed a de
sire to gallop all over the manly
frame of the editor, and offered to
chew a few reporters. Mr. Kraus
stood in the door, and pointing to the
box on the mdewalk fc said : " Ilovt
would that fit you ? it may be"a llt
little small butwe have larger ones,"
and calling the undertaker, who was
on the sidewalk, Kraus said:
"Measure this man,' please." The
undertaker took out a tape-line and
came forward, and the man with the
hot box, who was being measured
for a cold box, began to feel small.
Just then the editor, Neiman, came
down stairs, and Mike said : " See
here, Neiman, here is a man in a
hurry to whip somebody, and I don't
know but you will let me have that
cofiin that was made for the South
Side man who was going to come in
this afternoon to whip us. . He can
wait." Neiman looked at the man
who wanted to fight and said to
Mike: " You must make one for this
man. The South Side man will be
here at 4 o'clock and I make it a
point never to disappoint a man."
" Say." said Neiman, turning to the
man who had come for a fight,
"couldn't vou get along without a
fight till Saturday ? We are a little
crowded now," and Neiman rested
his cane on the cofiin box. The man
said, come to think of it, he didn't
want to fight, anyhow, but he did
think that article in the paper was
mean. " Of course," says Kraus,
and the mad man walked down
street, the undertaker went in his
store and the editor and manager
winked at each other and went to
work as though nothing had hap
pened. PcrVa Sun.
Summer Treatments of Grass Lands.
i We have not a just conception of
tha value of our grasses, nor ot. the
posibility of procuring the full value
from them. Our system is not a
dapted to this. We seed to grass for
the purpose of destroy ing it very eoon
whiles meadow should improve in
value-yearly for a century? if it is
properly managed. Some think our
climate is not suitable for grass.
The magnificent blue trass pasture!
of Kentucky, Indiana,' Ohio and
West Virginnia, and the great wesi
tern prairies which have borne their
perennial verdure for ages, contra
dict this belief. If we grow the right
kind of grass we may have perma
nent meadows and pastures ; and if
we treat them in a juditious manner
these may be kept in good condition
always. " There are a great vari
ety of grasses. The former, of course
liye but one year, and the roots die.
Of this kind are those late summer
grasses which we - are apt to call
weeds ; the second are longer lived,
but soon fail and gradually die from
exhauston of the root Of this kind
is timothy, the best grass to grow
with a bennial plant like clover in
tation, but a very poor one for a
meadow or pasture. The long per
ennial grasses are orchard ' grass,
meadow fence, tall fescue, foul mead
ow grass, red top, Kentucky blue
grass, meadow oat grass, yellow oat
grass, perennial rye grass and 6ome
others which lire not less noteworthy
and useful. All these grasses have
fibrous roots, or running roots, stocks
which spread and cover the ground
with a dense mat or sod. Our ob
ject should be to procure and preser ve
a sod ot this kind, and encourage iu
growth, both in pasture and mead
ows, by careful, skillful treatment
This should consist of occasional
top dressing with fine manure, or
such fertilizers as plaster su per-phos-phate
of lime, bone dust, Peruvian
guano, wood ashes, or potash salts,
with a mixture of soda. Three or
four dollars per acre thus spent every
second or thirdyear will be liberal
ly repaid by the more productive
condition af the meadow. Frosh
seed will be required occasionally in
spots where the adverse season may
have caused injury, and with such
nursing and feeding as this, grass
may be kept in permanently good
condition, lor no one as yet has lear
ned how long, but it has been so
kept for hundred of y ears.. '. !

The superstitious Sakhalavas of
Madagascar, doom every child born
on a r nda v to death. I hey ure car
ried to the nearest wood, laid in a
shallow hole and left to die from ex
posure. Twins, too, are killed, and
every infant whose, birth has caused
the death of its mother is destroyed,
because, according to the law of the
Sakhalavas, it is a murderer. And
when a child is bom at midnight it
is cstuomery to place it. next day
upon a path by which oxen go to
water., If the beasts lo not touch
it on their way, the infant's life is
saved ; but if a hoof or a hair br ush
es it, no matter how lightly, the
child is slain.

for it.
W Wash-day has no terrors for the household where DAY'S SOAP is used, no
unpleasant and sickening odors to fill your hauses, no laborious rubbing on the wash-board,
Awhile the washing can be done in one-half the time necessary by following the old worn-out method.

son in this matter; you it is that suffers the ills arising from the wash-tub and its heavy cares; you it is
to whom the perplexities and responsibilities of the. household rightfully belong, and you is that should
interest yourself in a trial of the qualities of this soap, that ha always proven itself to be a boon of salvation
TO SUFFERING HUlYIAWITYk
We do not come to you with a plausible story calculated to have you try it, simply for the amount
.of money such a sale would bring us; we do not come to you as irresponsible patties, who have no rcputa

recommendation of a well-known industrial establishment in Philadelphia, of sixteen years' existence.
Do you suppose for a moment it Would compensate us to make false statements to you and ruin our

ftained by the evidences of thousands of housewives from all over the country; besides which we stand
iready to endorse it all with ready Cash. 8VDA y'S SOAP is ihe Original and nly JPaUiUed.-

How Watch Cases are Made.
Ia buying s silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
gilvercaaes in niadeof a composition known
as albata, which ia a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short tin;e.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metaL Another important point
in a silver case is the joints or hinges, which
Ehould be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief rx-riod it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loe
upon the case and admitting the dut and
dirt that accommulate in the pocket. The
Keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
