Tbe Ttxu Katuera, It 'was on El Paso street, in EI Paso, Texas, that I remarked to a friend that I desired to know how the state of Texas, that Lone Star state of lone thiacs and wild romance, came to pos sess an armed force of state troops ever In the field- He replied: "I know but little of it. but there Is a man who can tell yoa all," said he pointed to a young fellow standing near the door of the large butcher store of Mundy Bros,, on El Passo strpet. "Who Is he?" 1 In quired. "Why, who is he? Why. he is J. B. Gillett, now our assistant mar shal, but once one of the best rangers in the frontier battalion that ever put spurs to a horse or made a horse thief's heart eo r'uht down in his boots. I'll introduce vou." When, after being introduced, I sla ted the desire I bail to know all about the raneers. in the interest of The (Jlobe Devmcrat, Mr. GUlett said: To tell all about the Texan rangers worth telling would fill a good sized volume, so you will have to be coutent with an outline. Tne history of the state in the southwest, from the days of the Ixme Star republic to the present hour, has been oue of continued Strug' gle with savage and semi-savage foes, aud the tt.tte had from time to time since the war to raise troops to stand off the Indians and help the authorities in upholding the law. It was in IS. 4, however, when Governor Richard Coke was In office, that the present orgnni zation of raneers was effected. The legislature appropriated $3uO,U00 to protect the bonier couuties, aud a suit able police, under the control of the state and Adjuant General Steele, was immediately formed. "it consisted then of six companies of seventy-five men each. Each con piny was commanded by a captain, to lieutenants, three sergeants aud four corporals. It was soon found tbat the appropriation would not be sufficient to support this establishment, and iedu-j-tious bad to be made from time to time, so that at preseut the companies are onlv twentv-dve strong, and have but one captain, one lieutenant, one sergeant and two corporals each. What would be about tbe present strength of the force?" "About loU men, which is ample just now. In 1-, continued the marshal, "Congressman Upson introduced a bill, whuh p.iised both bouses and was ap proved by the president, refunding to the stale fl.ooo.utO expended for frontier defense, but tbe money has not yet been received by the state." " bat is tbe present pay or a ran ger?" "WelL, a captain gets f 100 a month. latious and allowance for two horses; a lieutenant t.o, same rations and allow ance for two horses; asergeai t 1-30, ra tions and allowance for one horse; a cor poral $33, rations and allowance for one horse, aud a private i'M). and allowance the same as corporal. Privates used to receive $iu a mouth when tbe battalion was first organized." W hat des the allowance for a horse amount to "A little over 11 a month. The men provide their owu horses and arms, but ttie state furnishes all the ammuuitior they require." "Are tbe men all Texans?" "No, tbe rule H the reverse. They are from every state in tbe Union, and many of them are young fellows most respectably connected. Very few ot the old bauds except officers are now iu the service Cajt. L. I.

Tuis company killed more Indians and rustlers than any otber in the service," "What are tne usual duties of s ranger ?" "lie is a state police officer aud a soldier at tbe same time. In the ont capacity be performs tne dutusof a deputy sheriff and is in addition em powered to arrest without warrant all fugitives from justice in the state. A list of these motives is furnished front the office f tbe adjutant general from time to time for tbe information of the rangers. Like to see it ?" Tne scribe said he would, and Mr. Gillett produced a ponderous roll of closely-written foolscap containing the names and descriptions of fully o,w0 criminals wbom the slate was desirous to renew acquaintance. "But times aie changed now," said Mr. Gillett in conclusion; "tbe rail roads are cutting tbe country up in all duectious, ibq Indians are dead or rounded up, the scout is a thing or tbe past, and in tbe near future even tbe ranger may follow. There will soon be no trouiier, aud tbe frontiersman will be a reiic of the past. We can't put tbe brtaks on tbe wheels ot progress. Perhaps it is as well that it is so."

Bly. a lawyer furnishes the following: He gives tbe authority or precedent upon which each case depends. Those who travel much will do well to put these hints in their purses, their hats or their memories; It would be worth while. If yon do not intend to exhaust your ticket immediately, to learn something about how long you can use it, for its "life" may be limited by a printed clause upon its face 54 N. Y., 612. And If It reads "Good for this day only," don't take the ticket agent's word for it, that it will be good until used, for be cannot bind the company by an oral promise tbat it will be good at a later date than tne printed conai tions disclose. If you can induce him to alter tbe face of tbe ticket to meet your convenience for using it, well and good. The company will be bound to carry you according to its tenor. But be sure that the alteration is done be fore it is paid for and delivered to you, otherwise there will be no consideration for the change in tbe contract, and it would be void. 61 Barb., N. T., 611. And right here, it is well to bear in mind tbat nervous travelers are always afraid tbat tbe train Is going to leave them. They rush up to tbe ticket win dow, throw down their money and rush away again, without waiting to take the ticket they have paid for, and ticket agents must admit that tbey are not so infallible as to forget to give It out oc casionally. In such a case tbe conduc tor can demand your fare, or put you off it not paid. He is not bound to take your word tbat you paid for a tictcei you did not get. 5 T. & C.. X. Y., 270. or Is he bound to believe any num ber of witnesses who saw you pay it. Your proper course is to pay your fare to tbe conductor, and if the ticket agent or proper official refuses to refund the money, you can maintain an action for it Id. But going back to the subject on which we started, if you find printed on your ticket "To be used wituin three days from date, good for a continuous trip only," you must use it within three days and can have no stop-ovei Dri vileaes. Tbe obligations of the com pany are limited to carrying you in the time and manner expressed. 31 Barb., N. Y., 50(5. And tbe same thing is true if the ticket reads "Good for this day only." You must use It on tbe day it bears date. 61 Barb., N. Y., 611. And a limitation reading "Good this day only," is not waived by the con ductor indorsing upon it that it has only been used to an intermediate sta tion. 63. X. Y., 101. Gjod for this day and train only " compels you to use it on tbe day of its date, and on the train on which you embark. 7 Hun, X. Y., 670. But if your ticket reads "uood for this trip only." you are not limited to any particular day, or any special train of cars. These words, so it has been held, to not relate to time, but to tbe journey ; and If tbe ticket has not been previously used, it entitles tbe bolder to a passage ma subsequent day as wen as on the day it is daied. 24 Barb., X. Y., 514. And an expired ticket is not made good because the baggage man checks upon it, or even though a conductor punches itand allows you to ride upon it before he or another conductor discovers that it is "dead," 3 Hun, X. Y., 241; 1 Pa. St, 432. It goes without saying that a commu tation is not good after the time for which it was issued has expired although the miles of travel allowed by it are not exhausted. 2o Ohio fct, tO. It you buy a ticket reading "Portland to Boston," you are not entitled to ride from Boston to Portland unless there is a special contract tbat it shall be rood going in that direction. b Ale. ,lbd, And if tbe ticket agent tells you it will be good in tbat direction, it will not be a sjecial contract unless you prove that he was authorized to make such an agieement. It will not be presumed tnat a local ticket agent has the au thority to bind the company bv a spe cial contract. 34 Md., o; 61 Barb., 611. If the company should have two routes from Portland to Boston, you must take tbe shortest and most direct one.-69 X. Y., 504. Unless, as in the case of direction. you have a special contract, allowing you to ride on tbe branch or circuitous route. Id. Finally, if by the limitation printed on your ticket, you must use.it on oi before a certain date, it will be suffi cient if you commence to use it before tbe eipiration of tbe limitation, although you do not finish your journey until after tbe limitation bas expired. If you are traveling from Buffalo to Xew York on a ticket reading "to t used on cr before September 1, 1885, ': you are safe if you start on tbe first o) September, although you require part of the second to reach your destination.

A deciduous tree, the buds of which have started, is always a risky thing to ban die. With evergreens it is different They transplant better after vegetation has started and the terminal bnds begin to swell. This is one reason why ever greens furnished by nurserymen with otber stock early in tb season, often fall. They have necessarily been dag too early, exposed perhaps to chilling or drying winds during the packing, and, though fresh and green in appear anae when received by the planter, make no start after setting ont, and gradually turn brown and die. It is much better to order evergreens to be sent separately from other tiees and later in the season, say May, or even June, if the season is backward and new shoots have nut made much growth. They should be fresh dng, quick packed, and soon received. The tender point about an eyergreen is its root. If onoe dried, it seldom recovers. It is very important, therefore, tbat the roots should be carefully protected from snn and wind. If possible, take s cloudy ocehowery day for handling evergreens. If the right conditions do not exist, keep the roots constantly wet and rolled np in matting. If there are a great many to be handled, aa for hedging, keep them trenched in moist soil, re moving only a few at a time. Evkbi farmer who oau in any way af ford it should have a pair of platform scales. Not only should he have a pair but he should also make use of them a great deal more than those who have them usually do. There is no more important lesson that a farmer can learn than the oue to be secured by using the scales properly. If he will weigh the animals which ho intend to fatten be fore be commences feeding them, and carefully measure all the feed used in finishing them on, be will then know just what it has cost him to fatten them. and whether there has been any prottt in the operation or not. This is an im portant and very useful lesson for any feeder to learn, and learn well, if he ex pects to be nniformly successful in his business. Besides this great advant age, tbe scales always on hsnd enables tbe farmer to sell everything by actual weight, which is an important consider ation, as it avoids all guess work and any attempts to fraud by the purchaser. When a cow s teat becomes obstruct ed with thick, stringy matter, and when this is forced ont, thin, watery stuff is drawn out instead of milk, it indicates garget. This trouble may be caused in various ways. Lying in a cold, wet spot out in a field at night, a sadden change from hot weather to cold, squeezing the full udder ss she lies down, chasing about with a full udder, indigestion from any cause all these will cause it, and so will bad milking, such as leaving bad milk in the teats. When it happens the cause should be discovered and the proper remedy ap plied. Usnally a dose of linseed oil or a pound of Epsom salts with a teaspoon ful of ground ginger, and rub the udder with camphorated ointment will re move tbe trouble in twenty-four hours. The udder must be completely cleared of the matter and milk in it. Milk is one of the most absorbent of liquids, and is aflboted by the food con sumed by the cows and even by odors in the sir breathed by them. When the food or water or air is foul or unheal th ful the milk is at once impregnated, and shows it by the taste and odor and rapid decomposition. A dea 1 animal in a neighboring field, water filled with vegetable germs from decomposed mat ter, wild onions, garlic, and other odor ens or ill-flavored herbs, poisonous plants, which would otherwise destroy the cons, as in the well known disease known as " milk sickness," have each and all been known quite frequently to affect the milk so much aa to make it unfit for use and even dangerous or fa tal to persons using it, while the cow, relieved by the absorptive character oi the milk, has escaped injury. These facts should be widely spread abroad and made known to dairymen and oth ers who keep oows or but one oow for family use. The pig is no exception to the rule tbat all domestic animals require salt. The few animals whioh are , fed slops from the house will get some salt in this kind of feed, bnt not enough, and they do better it a mixture of salt aud ashes is left where they can eat as they wish. Many believe that laok of propel salting is one cause of hog oholert where large droves .are kept and given grain and water. When men sr deprived of salt serious diseases result. In some respects the interna structure of human beings resembles that of the Pg. . Gbeat care should be exercised Is keeping the oow pasture entirely free from rag weeds. These weeds impart peculiarly disgusting, bitter taste to the milk of the cows whion eat them, and the bntter made from such milk is alec, impregnated with the same peculiai taste. Thb cotton seed product of the Southern States amounts to 180.000.00t pounds, a large proportion of which ii wasted. Besides being convertible into oil, this product coutains the richest nourishment for fattening cattle, sheep and hogs. It is also one of the finest fertilizers known. A iter a careful study for two years, and a study of the experience of others, Mr. F. R, Carskadon, ot West Virginia, states that the capacity of the laud foi supporting stock is at least doubled by the nse of ensilage. Bees require very little care in pro. portion to the profit derived from them. With an assistant an apiarist could care for 200 colonies, and as much as fifty pounds of honey has been secured from a colony during favorable seasons. Th dairy products of this country exoeed the oats crop 350,000,000 ; the wheat crop. $100,000,000 ; the cotton crop, $220.000,000 ; the product of iron bars and steel, $257,000,000, and the pig iron output, $419 000,000. To give some idea how quickly milk will absorb odors one Las only to place a saucer of milk in a larder in which meat or game is hung. In a few hours the milk becomes so tainted that no animal will touch it. Bonk meal and crushed oyster shelli msy be used generously in feeding fowls. Placed by tb.emWr.Js fowls will devour no more of this mature than they naturally require to assist in di gestion, and to help in forming the shells of eggs. "Mr dear," said a frightened hus band in the middle of the night, shak ing his wife, "where did yon put that bottle of strychnine?" "Oi the shelf next to the pepper mint" "Oh, LordI" he groaned, "I've swal lowed it." "Well, for goodness' sake," whis pered his wife, "keep quiet, or you'll wake the baby." "Now, then," eaid the captain of po lice to the janitor of the station house, "give the prisoner a bath, and when that is done let him be handcuffed and sent off to the goal." "In other words," remarked the jan itor, "yoa desire the prisoner washed and ironed and sent off.". "Precisely."

A nobler task than making evil liven, rivers of harmless merriment no person, king or layman, could take upon him self. The liver among the ancients was considered the source of all a man's evil impulses, and the chances are ten to one to-day that if one's liver is in an ugly condition of discontent, someone's head will be mashed before night I " How's your liver?" is equivalent to the inqairy: Are yoa a bear or an angel to day ? Nine-tenths of the "pure-cussedness" the actions for divorce, tbe curtain lec tures, the family rows, not to speak of murders, crimes aud other calamities are prompted by the irritating effect of the inactivity of the liver upon the brain.

He also knows that to prevent suoh catastrophic nothing equals Warner's safe cure re nowned throughout the world, as a maker of "Back evil Liver A runnina river of hsrnuess merriment. HOUSEHOLD. Thb increasing frequency of neural gic headache among women must have a cause. There is one of simplicity which has been overlooked, ani one to which it is worth while to draw atten tion. The pain experienced is generally located in one or more of the branches of tbe second cervical nerve, very com monly those terminating in the scalp at the oocipnlt or back of the head. Tbe nerves of the scalp are irritated by the hair being drawn tightly back and put on the strain, not as a whole, in which case the strain wonld be spread over a large area of the surface, but by small bundles of hair which are pulled back and held in place by hairpins. Relief is experienced by removing the hair pins, bnt this gives only a temporary and partial effect. The injury clone is lasting, if not permanent, in its conse quences. The present style of dress ing the hair should be discontinued, as it in part accounts for the prevalence of a form of suffering whioh is both in tractable and distressing. If it were the fashion for women to wear their hair short instead of long and tied up, there would be leas headache than there is. Ldxr Tablb Mat. For materials use four shades of green single sepbyr, one skein of dark green and a half skein of each of the otber shades; commence and crochet with the treble stitch a mat with eighty-nine stitches around; then eleven chains; then fill this chain with treble stitches; then ten treble; then the ohain and proceed all around until it is six stitches deep. Finish with the lightest shade; by putting over the thread and djawing it through three stitches tbe mat will be very full. Tack the fullness with the thread which will leave a place tor the lily, which must be crocheted with one ounse white zephyr. Set np three-chain, use tbe treble stitch, nse one in center, and go back and forth until six deep, thBn fin ish the edge same as the met; there most be eight lilies; then have half an ounce of yellow to represent the center, bet np thirty stitches on knitting needles; knit plain ten stitches deep; bind off and sew together; insert a wire! sew lily together and put it in its place in the mat. Gracefcx D&aplno. The finest art of dressing is shown in graceful draping of a black lace scarf from tbe left shoul der to the waist, instead of around the neck. A deft hand makes this effect very charming, but only a woman ijuth a gift for dress need attempt tbe auda cious trick. An easier way of wearing lace is to gather it for the neck, and draw the ends in soft folds down the front of the dress, passing them under the belt or fastening with ribbons. Lace standing collars are worn as high as possible, with lace chemisette pieces for dresses with open throats. Hebs is a pretty wsy to make a toilet set which may be new to some: For the foundation use scrim of some pret ty, open work, striped design. For the bureau scarf line it with any desired color, and then across it lengthwine. a short distance from each edge, stitch a band of ribbon of the same color as the lining, and finish the edge with lace. Yoa can buy the antique lace, or cro chet some pretty patterns of unbleached linen. Make the small mats and cush ion cover the same way. Pat a tasty bow of tbe ribbon in one corner of your cushion. Your set will be more com plete if you make a splasher and table scarf in the same wsy. Pablob Whisk Bboom. A pretty whisk broom holder can easily be made. Take a small round Japanese fan, cover both sides with pretty cretonne, fasten ing at tbe handle; out a narrow strip of pasteboard, say two inches wide aud four or five inches long (according to the size of the fan), cover with cretonne, fasten the edges of the strip in the cen tre of the fan, far enough to admit the broom. Twist ribbon around tbe han dle, leaving a little loop at the b p to hang it up with, put a bow of ribbon at the handle, where the eietonne is fast ened. If desired, one can be put at tne handle.

Bake in tne same sized tin and put together with chocolate icing, the dark cake on top, which also ice with the chocolate icing. We have al ways called it brown- stone front. Xovkl PisoTSHio. A novelty in tbe shape ot a pincuahion cover is to cover a thick cushion of medium sice with satin, then cover one corner with sheer white muslin. This should be cut in the form of a triangle, and where the mus lin ends and tbe satin begins pnt a jabot of lace there. The effect is both pretty and quite new. Lemox Pcopimo. Oue cup of milk, two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, three eggs, one cup of sugar, one tablespoon ful ot butter, juice snd grated rind of two lemons. Mtx these ingredients and bake in a rich crust. Make a me ringue of the whites of two eggs and pnt on top atter the puddings are baked. In cases of congestion, bilious colic, inflammation, there is no remedy more certain to give relief. In cases of ob stinate constipation, also, wonderful cures have been wrought. For sore throat, diphtheria and inflammation of the lungs, a hot compress is one of the most potent remedies. Later.

Garfield was bald and his hair of a semi-blonde color. John Tyler was flne-haired, and he was a fine looking man. Jefferson had red hair and we are told tbat he was freckled. William Henry Harrison combed his hair well to the front of hia ears, and he was gray at the time be was elected. President Lincoln did not pay much attention to his hair, and most of his pictures represent It as rather long. It was dark and straight. John Adams wore a wig, and his son, John Quincy Adams, had the baldest head which ever rested on the pillows of the White House. Some of Jefferson's portraits repre sent him with bis hair banged in front and coming down over his forehead in the styie of the dude of to-day. President Arthur had dark hair, which waa growing gray when he lert the White House. He kept it well combed back from his face and wore it short. , . President Cleveland's hair is brown and thin. He wears it short and combs it np from his forehead. Ills head is bald at the crown, and its baldness is 'said to be daily increasing. Frank Pierce bad thick curly hair which fell down upon his forehead, and James Buchanan kept his gray head well trimmed, combing his hair so as to show to the full his high, open brow. Polk patterned after Jackson in comb ini his hair straight back with hardly a part, and both Fillmore and Taylor parted their hair on the left side of the bead, while Frank Pierce parted his boldly on the right. Every one knows how Jackson's hair stood up all over his head as straight and stiff as the quills or a porcupine, but all are not aware that he was as gray as a badger during his Presidential term, acd his hair was as fine as the thinnest strands of spun silver. SCIENTIFIC. E.

With some old flasks and beakers no appreci ate quantity was dissolved in the short time required for quantitative analysis. A new case ot fraud with preserved xl has been disclosed by P. Carles in the Journal tie Phartitacte et de 'hemte. A san.ple of preserved tomatoes when examined differed from a normal speci men by containing much less dry ex tract, potassium bitartrate and total phosphoric acid. The inference is that the sample in question contained but little tomato, and was chiefly composed of carrots and pumpkins, tbe whole be ing covered with some aniline dry. Ex Commissioner Le Duo gives, in the Husbandman, the formula for cheap paint for outbuildings and fences, to be made of sweet skimmed milk, mixed to tbe thickness of cream with common cistern cement (fresh) and ap plied to wood and brick.

The lime of the cement and the caseine of the milk form an insoluble compound. A mouth piece for pipes has been patented. This invention provides for a removable month piece, covering an inner one in such a way that when one inhales the smoke a current ot fresh air will also be drawn in from the outside, thus oooliug tbe stem of the pipe.
