THE COWBOY'S OUTFIT. A KE ATI' HE OF KUONTIKH l.tKK FAST II.M'1'K.IIIMI. People all over western Kansas and No Man's Land aro full of stories and rem iniscences of cowboy life. In fact, a plenty of tho citizens of these Western villages sorved ns cowboys at one timo and another beforo they became mer chants, professional men, etc., in senno favorite location for a town silo, duo hears on every hand expressions that wcro technical in tho cowboys' camp. Landlord Osgood calls his guests to bneakfast in tho mornimr with Dm mn,r that tho cowboy niiiL's while ridinir around his cattle at night to keep theiu from getting frightened anil stamped ing, thus: llny-a-a a-a Yo-o o-o Hay a a a Yo o 0-0 llreakfast When anything is tied up it is said to bo ropod, from tho term which tho cow boy applied to the use of tho lasso. A man's household goods itte tormod. an outfit. So is his kit of tools, it a me chanic; his library nnd appliances, if a surgeon or lawyer; his fate, desks, etc., if a banker. So, too, is tho cliipio ho associates with socially. lie belongs to a poker outlit if ho plays cards wit It regularity, or to a pious outlit if he goes to church. People in tho East have often road nf tho cowboy when on a spree "shooting up iu tho town" or lynching a horse thief, but not very many know anything about tho real life of the cowboy, and of what his outlit it composed or what it cutts. The most importaut article in the cow boy's outfit is the chuck wagon, or the wagon over which the cook presides. It is a common prairie schooner, with hoops over it to stretch a cniivns roof on, so that such perishable goods ns salt, sugar and flour can bo protected from tho weather. At the back is a cupboard, whero such thing n baking powder, pepper, co:rco, (lihes, etc.,' aie kcjit. I'her.' nrc pots and frying pans n plenty, and the larder is always well supplied. Ea.on is ge nerally preferred to salt pork, nnd fre.h I ccf is kept constantly on hand by killing n steer from tho herd ns oc casion requires. Tho owners of the herd supply the food, nud s :ch tools ns hovels, axe, etc;. Tho shovel, it is interesting to know, is generally of much more use than the axe. When taking a wagon across the streams it is very often necessary to cut dowu tho bauks on cither side to form an inclined plane, for perpendicular banks three and four fee! high are com mon. Then, too, the stieams very often run under ground. Tho bed of a creek may bo covered with sand nnd gravel burning hot, but by digging two or three feet sometimes as much as six or tit-lit pure, sweet water may be had iu abundance. Timber for fuel may ba had in some parts of a range aud not iu others, but when it is abundant the cowboy's cook generally prefers tho ancient buffalo chips, which ho calls Kansas or prairie coal. Not to tho chuck -wagon iiniong tho 1 co Is ot the cowboy is his pony. The Texas pony is a marvel to an Eastern man. It weighs from oiicj to tiOO pounds only, but it cautirs away for foity or fifty miles with a wcll-growu man, say from 1"0 to i;u pounds weight, on its back, and then rustles for its feed and comes up fresh for another canter of the same length next dav. Tho cowboys tell of much greater feats of strength nnd endurance than this, but tho i reporter saw this much doue. Each cowboy, however is supplied with six pouics by the owner, because whilo a pony can stand several days of hard riding in succession, it is inoro economical to have several on hand and givo each a chance to rest bet wen rides. Tho ponies aro worth only from if jo to !?:I0 each. They aro a vicious lot and buck ecstatically e. ory timo they uro mounted. The cowman supplies the cowboy with four blankets, saddle, bridle, and lasso, as well as ponies, but the cowboy who has any style about him scorns bolh the sadddlo and the lasso furnished ,y tho company. Tho company's saddle is simply a substantial skeleton costing not more than if HI. Tho cowboy buys his own, and it costs $ .0 at least. It is made of stamped nnd embroidered leather, and everything about it is of tho very best quality. One liriu in Wichita, I-ansas, has ma lo a great fortune by lirst making ilm very best saddle that can l unci., I, I... skill, and theu charging theso prices for it. Tho cowboy pays tho price because) he is sure of getting tho best saddle lnado. Tho company lasso is made of raw hide. It cost fill. It does very well in lino weather; in a rainstorm it s stilt nnd awkward to bundle. The cowboy leaves it with the outlit, and takes li s own. This is made of horsehair, uud ij always as llexible as a bit of cotton twiiio and strouir cnoui-h to ln-lil mi olephaut. It has u range iu the hands I a 1111111 ot skill of sixty feet the noose can be dropped over a steer's horns at that distances. lis co.ts the cowboy from to f (o.

I ...i. era nian comes here expeciinr to lind every cowuoy au expert wnu ma re volver, and la somewhat ustoaished to find that not ono in ten can bo so clawed. The reputation of the few clings to tho whole. One of tho best revolver shots in tho Indian Territory is Uftvo (iebor, a half brood living with tho I'corias. Ho tan hit a target the sine of a man's head six times in rapid succession while riding his pony at full speed at a distance of 200 yards. Having learned to shoot whilo riding on horseback, he cannot shoot so well standing on foot and aim ing deliberately, nnd that is ono of tho peculiarities of the cowboy marksman. To roturu to tho pony tiappings, tho spurs ot a cowboy uro worth mentioning. A cheap pi -i ado of maleablo cast iron can bo be for twonty-livo cents. The fancy : ost from $ to if ) n pair. 'I hey are p. , with silver, nnd en graved in fancy designs, sometimes, but tho part lo which tho cowboy directs his attention wlion buying is tho rowel or wheel, and tho bell. Tho wheel must hnvo long nnd substantial spokes. Tho bell is n littlo piece of steel shaped like the clapper of a bell. It is secured to tho fork that holds tho rowel. For business purpo cs it is dropped in be tween two spokes of tho rowel anil thus prevents the rowcll turniug. Having done Ih s, the cowboy can drop down over the side of his pony, catching the rowel in his taddlo to support ono cud of his body, hanging to the pommel with ono baud to support the other, and work ing the trigger of his six-shooter under tho neck of his pony to muko things in teresting for tho enemy. In tho days when Indians wero iu tho habit of stampeding hold at ovcry opportunity the rowel and bell wcro of grout impor tant in a running light. Tho nrticlo of wearing apparel which is tho prido of tho cowboy's heart is his hat. A good bi'oad-b: iniined hat cannot I b-3 bought for less than if--. I ho very best cost i-.'!). That is for the hat. Tho I hat band is bought extra. A leather rbnnd with a clinking brass chain at tached may be had fog. a dollar. A cord I of braided gold laco, such as a cowboy Would wear iu society, costs from $r..jO I to f ID. City Koc uderCeorgeA. Uluke, I o Heaver City, No Man's hand, wears a head outlit that, cost if'JT.oO, of which ' the braided-gold cord cost $7.00. liubo Chileott, who lutis tlio Heaver livery I stable, has another hat and baud of the j same sort. Eoth men wero onco cow boys. I l!ut it is not ah 0.3c., hcj as 0 ninttcr of I fancy that expensive huts are bought.

Tho wind sweeps unimpeded over the lo el prairie, ami drives the rain or snow against tho cowboy almost wilh the force of a charge of blrdshot. Tho best h it tho one ih it is at once warm and waterproof is good enough ou such occasions, but none too good. Next to his hat tho cowboy is proud of his boots. They must bo hand-made, of tho best and softest of leather, nud they must have long legs, and heels that will throw tho Frenc h heel of a lady's boot entirely in the shade. Heels from nn inch to uu inch and a -ju li ter high aro the proper thing for cowboys who' wish to a! tend a danco in this country. Boots 1 of this sort cost from if D to ifl"i. I Singular enough, the cowboy cares as littlo for the quality of his suit of c'othes ns he docs about the cost of his pony. A Ijfl'.' suit of stoic clothes, such as would cost my if!' in New York, are good enough for him, while his suit of flannels will not cost above if I. In some parts of the country, leather trousers that are laced, instead of sewed up, on Iho outer seams, nie in u-o. They cost from ii to T u pair, and nre valued becauso they wear well, and because snakes cannot bite through them. Theu, too, tho cowboy usually hus a pair of slic kers. Hickor nre called oils'sins by seafaring men. They arc made of duck, and aro made, waterproof by a soaking in oil. As might be inferred, from what has been wiittcn, tho bill of f are of the cow boy consists chiefly of bread and bacon and beef and coffee, liutler uud milk nre almost unknown, although there are tin. usa ids of cows on the range. Coorgo Eiuke told tho reportor, however, that on a range whero ho wus in charge ho lilted up 11 milk house over a spring near where the outfit had its headquarters, unci having bought a chum nnd some pans, kept the outlit supplied with but ter and sweet milk. Eveiy outlit m'ght be supplied but for tho dislike of milk ing which every 1 ow boy cviu -cs. The diet of beef and pork is always varied with game, t jo. Thero is gen erally 0110 shot gun with tho uttit lor luuiiio chickens, while deer, auteloiio. aud jack rajduts aro shot in numbers , with rifles and six-shooters. Out of ten 1 men iu the irngiuaw outlit, Have Ceber said at least two wont hunting ovcry t'unday. I The daily experience of the cowboy is monotonous in most respects, but not I iiiil'reiUently he has enough excitement j iu fifteen minutes to hist most men a I lifetime, liy day ho must keep tho cat j tie moving slow ly about so that they , will hive Si-mo eveicise.

Tho ( cowboys stand watches of two hours' : lenglb at night. j Sometime through carelessness, but j often in spite of 1 are, the cuttle will , become ularinod. It is us if they saw a ghost, I ho cowboys say. In an instant , there uro thousands 011 tlu ir feot, and , away they go iu a mud gallop, straight 1 to destruction, if they c.inuot be turned. I This is the moment that tries the ueive of tho cowboy. He must gel them to ! circling -running in a circle aud there j is but one wuy to do it. They will I blindly folhijv a leader, and he m-ust be thai .loader. Spurring his pony 111(0 u i wilder gallop thau thai of the cuttle, he must ride iu uhead of the frightened hcul and continue without u tremor iu his voice bis song of "llay-a a-a yo 0-0-0 0; hay n a a-yo i) o-o-o," even tliouvb i it is h sown dealh knell, for should i s i pony slip on the wet grass, or put g j loot in 1 he hole of a badger or a pru 1 . j dog, ho will go down under the feet id 1 the frightened emtio aud have tho life trampled out of him before he has time to think. A good jaaDj cow- boys have died that wav. they say, but no one has ever thought of ere ting a monument over their graves. Sometimes there nre cattlo in the herd that will not follow the cowboy leader as he strives to make them circle. Theso tangents, as they aro called, must, bo shot down instantly, unci) is for this reason that tho cowboy must learn to handle tlio six shooter as well as tho lariat. The cowboy generally sleeps in tho open air. He may crawl under a chuck wagon in case of rain, but he usually sleeps out. Whero tho cattlo remain in a definito locality for a length of time he tniy build a house or shanty where there is timber. Tents aro used sometimes. Tho kings ol the craft get $50 and even if To a month. Tho tenderfoot starts in at whatever he can got $ 10 or ifl'J or ifl j a month. AVio York Hun. lliiisinir Crows for Profit. A correspondent of tho New Orleans Vie njun stus that an ingenious agricul tural person who lives not very far from I'oston has hit upon a new and decidedly prolitublo industry. Thero has recently arisen a demand for crows' heads, hith erto deemed valueless, nnd it is his pur pose to supply it. Ten cents apiece tho county authorities liavo olferod for tho crania of thoso interesting birds, 5rom whoso destructive propensities the far mers' crops have been sudoring seriously of late years. Under ordinary circuin stan es this bounty would not lcavo a very largo margin of profit for tho re cipient. It costs something, you see, to kill a crow. Thero is tho ammunition, iu tho lirst place, which is expensive, and ono cannot count upon slaying even a single inky-feathered fowl for each charge of shot and powder. Iksides, the sportsman's time must bo reckoned in tho count. Hut tho enterprising speculator above referred to has devised a scheme by which a maximum percent age of f.nin is to bo secured without any risk worth speaking ot. He has set up a chic ken incubator of tho most im proved pattern, in which is placed ns fast as it is laid the product of about one hundred hen-crows that havo been trapped nnd confined, in company with perhaps a dozen cock-crows. Within ! lilteeu days tho littlo creatures nro 1 hatched, and a fortnight Inter they aro ready to bo decapitated. For be it un derstood, tho head of a crow chick is worth just as much as that of an adult of tho species. At the uniform rate of ten for a dollar, dead, they pay tho pro- duccr cxcclleutly. Iu tho way of food, while alive, tho stock reouiics very little, yielding, under the circumstances described, a constant supply of eggs during tight months of tho year. It is this prolilie quality of tho crow that has rendered it objectionable from the agri cultural point of view. Since the county wus so anxious to obtain crows' heads, it must be considered fortunate that the ingenious gentleman in question should have been ublo to till the requisition so satisfactorily. Then, too, tho feathers have been fallible" for mourning lints, and occasionally the carcasses havo found a market w th tho friends of defeated poli ticians. A Celebrated Poem.

REMARKABLE OPERATIONS BY AN UNTUTORED WOMAN. Sho Is Entirely Without rroften slnnnl Training Success With Apparently Incnrablo Cases. Anzonia is a littlo picturcsquo village near Yittona, in Northeastern Italy, not far from tho Austrian Tyrol. It is the home of a noted woman, whoso fnmo has spread throughout all Europe by her skill to relieve human suffering. Hegina dalCin was born in the villugo of Yen denciano, near Conegllano, Yenctia, April 4, 1810. Her parents were Lorenzo Ma relies ini and Mnrianna Sandonella, both of whom belonged to the peasantry of Yenetia. Following the vocation of her mother, Iicginn, lrom early child hood, displayed a taste for setting dis located bones. At first practicing her art on chickens and animals, licgina's first operation, strango to say, was upon her mother. )ne day, as she was going to a neighbor ing villase, the wagon upset and her leg was broken, liegina, who was now nine years old, following her mother's direction, set the limb. Her mother was carried homo and confined to her house for forty days, during which her daughter becatno her nurso. A year later Hegina wont to live with her brother at Yittoria, where she began to see operations in tho hospital and ac quired her celebrated delicacy of touch. At tho age of eighteen sho married Lorenzo dal Cin, a poor peasant, and was shortly left a widow with ono son, who becamo a priest. Among her early operations was ono upon a poor fellow in the villago of Alpngo, who was con fined to his bed by fractured logs. The doctors had ordered ninputation when liegina, appearing nt tho time, declared she could save both les, and in a short time the man was able to walk. Doc tors enraged at being thus outrivaled, had her arrested and token before the Tribune for practicing without a license. Her advocate was tho patient whom she had just cured. Hegina was pardoned, but ordered to practice no more. Yet patients came to her day by day, declar ing they would see no one else. The theory of her skill was the "reduction of the femur." A poltico of marshmallow and bran was applied and continued for a longer or shorter time, accordingly ns the dislocation was new or old. When the bone had attained a certain softness the manipulation Legan and the dis membered parts placed aright, tho force being used at the proper time, aud un consciously to the patiout, all being done without chloroform nnd without caus ing pain. It must be remarked, how ever, that she possessed nu almost su perhuman strength in her lingers, equal to that of two men. Another wonderful cure was in the case of Dr. Bellim, an invalid from hip dislocation, of twenty years' standing. Dr. Hellim was one of tho pbysiciaus whose prejudice, twenty-five years be fore, sho had sought to overcome. From to lSciS sho continued to practice her profession, in which her only desiro was to excel. From patients of ample means sho always expected liberal com pensation, but the poor sho charged nothing. Again summoned before the tribunal at Yittoria for pract'eing with out a license, she was condemned to two months' imprisonment. The case was carried to the higher Court at Yerice whero defending herself with great skill, she said: "Ueutlemen, you know very well how to name the bones, I do not; but I can see them, and you cannot." She was acquitted amid great rejoicing. A lady of Yeniec, whoso daughter was suffering from luxation of the femur, sent for Hegina, and tho young lady in a short time was able to lay aside her crutches. Tho physicians of Yeuice, after an in terview, now each presented ho- with a certificate. Honors still awaited hor. Mr. Caueuida, a rich banker of Trieste, whose daughter had suffered from in fancy with the same disease, and who had consulted all tho best physicians ot the great Capital without finding any benefit, sent for Hegina, who operated on tho daughter, and iu a short time she was cured. Operations began to multi ply. Wonderful cures were effe ted. Hegina was tendered au ovation. Sur rounded on tho streets and everywhere hailed with enthusiasm, she would smile and bid them "Thank Cod, for it is to Him I hold the gift." The municipality invited her to operate in the City Hos pital before a number of physicians, and she secured their warm approval, nnd they rewarded her with a certificate. The Mayor now give her a grand din ner, at which wero present the elite of tlio city aud many physicians. They applauded her everywhere, as if she wero Caribi'.ldi or some other liberator of the country. The day of her departure a deputation of patients, headed by Mr. Yalerio, who had beeu cured of luxatiou of twenty years' standing, presented her with a magnificent album, containing over four thousand signatures, including thoso of eighty physicians, beautifully dedicated iu lines of gold. Tlio muucipality of Trieste presented her with KM .Napoleons in gold, oue haif of which she dis tributed to the poor. The profession of fered her 300 lloritis a year und a villa to remaiu. It was a fete day at Yittoria w hen the Italian Ooverunient sent Hegina a dip loma allowing her to practice. .Music sounded oil the streets, national airs were sung. A young man whom sho had cured of luxation of the femur wrote two poems, which were rendered nt tho theatre during the afternoon uud even ing. Mr. Laac I.'.

The Mexican hammocks, or the ordi nary ones sold in the shops for about a dollar, can be utilized for drapery. They como in good colors; combina tions of black, yellow, reel and blue. Cut the mesh across at each end so as to leave the twisted heads for tassels. Pull the hammock out and stretch it ns much ns possible. Turn the upper end over, like a fringe-work, and pass the curtain rod, in aud out, through tho meshes. When hung, it may be neces sary to tack the meshes nt intervals until the hammock hw lost its stillness. Loop with the pieces of ropo that come with th a hammock, and attach the twisted ends as ta3scls. JJuuseieifc. Itoom Ornamented "With Flutter 1 11 IT Butterflies.

Two colors can bo used, one placed over the other, to form the wings; when slightly crimped and dashed with specks of water-color they aro improved. Tho scpiares should be cut of the requisite sio and fastened with a small clothes pin. These must be painted brown aud zoned with yellow. Feelers of wire may bo added. Tho butterflies should bo strung at intervals on invisible wires placed at uneven distances across tho room. Theso airy nothings flutter liko living things with every passing zephyr. A bent pin can be fastened to the center of tho body to secure them to tho wire. They may bo also pinned on lace curtains or on picture wires ns if just alighting. Picayune. How to Broil. Broiling appears to have been the curliest method of cooking. Whether we broil steaks, chops, fish, or fowl, tho process is the samo. Tho object is to cook without burning or loss of juice. Tough meats are uusuitablo for broiling, nnd tender meats may bo spoiled by wroug cooking. Trim olf part of tho fat where there is much, and wipe tho moisture from the surface. Grease the wires of the broiler to prevent sticking. Lay the meat on evenly, hold close to plenty of bright, red coals, while you count ten, turn the broiler so tho other side of tho meat is next tho fire, count nnd turn, and so on. Steak au inch thick will be cooked rare iu five minutes, well done in eight or ten; chop3 or small birds requiro citrht or ten; fish a longci time. Albumen, the chief substance in meat, hardens under heat, so tho saving of juice depends on quickly scaring the outside. Always servo hot meat on a hot dish. Sturdy Oah Drylnjt reaches. One of the most important things in tho process is to have good fruit, neither too r:pe nor too green and hard. In tho second place, good trays, such as they dry raisins on, are almost indis pensable. You handle them easily; they are more convenient than cloth or plauk, becauso you can carry them from tho room whero tho fruit is prepared and placed on tho trays to tho sulphur bath. Care must bo taken to place the sul phur pan far enough bc'.oxv tho trays to prevent burning. To make a scalTo'd to place your trays on, set stakes in the ground nbout two feet high, nailing fence boards at tho top in rows two feet apart. Tho trays should face to tho southwest, so as to get tho luli benefit of the afternoon sun. Sawed redwood shakes make very good truys. They Bhould bo nailed with wrought nails to a rim of one-inch square lumber. Have a room to handlo and storo your fruit as it is driod. Make it moth proof, with tight walls and screens over tho doors and windows. Tlio doors aud windows should bo closed at night and opened every day to facilitato drying. To mako bright, ( lean, merchantable fruit, havo all your truys of an even size. Piie them up every night to keep out tho dampness and tlio moths; uncover them iu the morning after sunrise. Do not let your fruit got too dry on tho trays, but examine it critically, for when some are perfectly dry other pieces will bo partly dry. Carry tho fruit into tho storeroom and bulk it, turning it over every two days to equalizo the dampness, and whenever it is dry enough to keep, sack it at onco and keep it bright nud clean, VulifornUi liurat Via'.

IN THE DARK. Oh, in the depths of midnight What fancies haunt the brain, When even the sigh of the sleeper Sounds like a sob of pain. A senso of nwo and of wonder I may never well define, For tho thought that come in the shadows Never come in the shine. Iho old clock down in the parlor, Liko a sleepless mourner grieves, And the seconds drip in the silence ' As the rain drips from tho eaves. And I think of the hands that signal Tho hours there in the gloom, And wonder what angel watchers Wait in tho darkened room. And I think of the smiling faces That used to watch and wait. Till tho click of the clock was answered Hy tho click of the open goto. They nro not there now in the evening Morning or noon not thero; Yet I know that they keop their vlrgil And wait for me somewhere. James Whitvoinb lliley. HUMOIt OF THE HAT.
