"A mighty risky trick for these parts. We're on tin stamping ground of the Apaches an 1 they're always on the warpath, ravening for scalps. We'll likely hear somo news, boys. Thst miu't got business on hand. That kind of a fellow don't hurry for nothing." By this time the lone rider hat reached the head of our lin, and singling out the guide, he courteously baluted him. "You had better brin j your wagons close together, and bo ready to form a corral at a moment's notice," he said, including us alL "There's a big band of Apaches, led by that young villain, Geronimo, laying for yon behind Baby Range, about eight miles further on. They intend to stay there until you get into tin pass, but may change their minds and attack in the open." ".Much obliged, stranger," said onr jrnide. "My name is Ham Lount; laig'iit I ask yours and how you got clear of the reds yourself?" I "Well, smilingly responded tho "mv Similar mn in fhria. topher, but I'm generally called Kit1 Kit Carson, at your service." "Ait Carson!

Three days ago I ran on Geronimo's warriors just aft.T they'd wiped out a party of emigrant-. The remains of four wagons wore Ft. 11 smoking, and, as nearly as I could judge, sixteen bodies had been piled up with them. Eight mules lay dead around.

After supper Carson gathered r.t aioun 1 him and said in his peculiarly soft low voice: "Xearthe south enlof this little range there is, as your iguido knows, a deep, ragged ravina winding around to the west and finals- running out on the open plain quitJ Icloso to the trail.

And now," concluded - -, i - . tne lnirepiu ana exjuerienceu iunoa, "we may rest for a few hours in abso lute security." At midnight Carson and his selected party left so stealthily that some of ui who were dozing did not notice theij departure. Precisely at 1, Lount having j previously let us draw lots to determine who should accompany him, diracteJ the mount. Ejth young Alec Frasei and myself were of this number. The whole ten of us, silent as statues, sat motionless for somo time in oui saddles. We were armed with percussion lock muzzle loaders. Each man carried, besides his bolt knife, a heavy Colt's revolver. At last, when nearly a half hour haa gone by, the old guide whispered: "All goes well, boys. If the redskins have no dos along, Carson'll surprise them." He had hardly spoken when out upon the night air rang a volley of rifle shots, and simultaneously from tha Indian camp rose a pandemonium ol ! Tells and shrieks. "Bide, men! ride!" cried Lonnt I The corral keepers whirled one of tha encamping wagons asiue, uu c new into the pass live abreast. As we thundered headlong over its 200 yards of length Lount hurriedly added: "You two, Trescott and Ad ams, seize the prisoner. You others follow me, and, boy, don't tU.ow a bullet away !" The next instant we flashed ot I nPon the Apaches' campiu ' ground and immediately caught sig'ut of taa car.tive. Hho was sittin-j with hvi aPk ? us bound to a rpear sha.'t Unveil JUIU l lit? CJ11U.

In the hope of secur ing at least one scalp, the braves ru-die 1 up with touitihawks and knives.

Then, before the remaining six cor.! 1 turn and run, Carson, giving way to a fit of rage, drove the spurs into his horse's flanks, and, with an appalling fhout, fairly rode two of the miscreant J clown and the others skurried away, but our riiles finished them. The twenty mea wbo "had been le.'t oehind to reload rejoined us hero for' tho pursuit, but Carson put up his re- volvers. "That will do, boys. The rods have got their lesson." All this, which has taken so long to tell, occupied scarce a minute in the doing. v e round boon witn but a scalp wound, and we setoff back to thd Indian camp a jolly party.

Take from the oven an ordinary loaf when it is about half baked, and, with the fingers, while it is still hot, put the half set dough into pieces of irregular shape, about the size of an egg. Do not attempt to smooth or flatten them, as they are better the rougher they are. Set on tins, place in a very alow oven and bake to a rich brown.

RAVAGES OP WARMKB DESI ZEKS OF HEW GUINEA. I'hey Slake Semi-Occasional Visits to the Queensland Islands and Ter rorize the Inhabitants Their Queer Kasal Jewelry. HE Queensland Islands of Sal- bai as well as llanan ana Eoign, are in a state of terror C over the Tugere pirates, wno are reoorted to be making: their semi- occasional visit into that territory. But little is known of these people, aud although investigated by the well known explorer Douglass, scarcely any definite information is obtainable even I at this late day. From meagre reports , which have been received from time to time this much is certain, that they are both warlike and numerous. They come around tha coast from the West in large canoes without outriggers, be fore the northwest wind, and return with the -d vent of the southeast. They are far better warriors than the native tribes in the Queensland possessions, and their arrival has created general consternation. Dozens of coast com munities are reported to have broken up and wandered away in small parties into the forest to wait for the arrival of the south east wind, which generally marks the departure of the Tugeres. These pirates rarely camp on the same ground a second time, last season camping near Kadawa, where a Eu ropean traveler named, juartin was killed by a Tugere. It appears that Martin, who was a trader, was caught near their camp while in search of oddities. The present camp has been located near the mouth of the Kawa Kussa Biver, and the length of their sojourn will depend principally upon their success in pillaging villages. It has been impossible to determine the exact number of fighting men of the Tugeres, bnt according to Captain Strachan, who was attacked by them some years ago, there are not less than 1500. Captain Strachan was at tacked on the Mr.iktiHa Biver. He and his men fired on them with Winches ter rifles at a distance ranging from 150 to 200 yards. In his report the captain states that it was an utter im possibility to intimidate them, and he was compelled to abandon his vessel. It has been about definitely decided that thene pirates come from Dutch New Guinea. In view of their depredations, a brie! review of the Tugeres will prove of in terest. As a body of men they are aj fine as any tribe to be met with in any of the possessions. In one band on the Upper Fly Biver there are men as mus cular and equally capable in appear ance ; but those of the Tugere are far tue nest ot tne tr:l2. Aiiiny are oi a li.ifht brovn color. They are armed: exclusively with bows and arrows. They propel their own canoes, which ' are exceedingly clumsy in build, being from thirty-five to forty feet long and , without outriggers, and propelled by ' means of poles made from the widest of the sago palm-leaf. Paddles are rarely used and are almost unneces sary. In appearance the Tugeres are anything but prepossessing. They wear the tiara, which is frizzled, plaited into a great number of small cords, with a kind of ledge, each cord falling down on the neck, and at the lower extremity the ledge is wound around to form at the end of each plait a little ball. This gives a man an appearance as though he carried on the sides and back of the neck a bunch of grapes so large and heavy as to make it almost difficult to turn the head. The forehead is high and well formed, t ;ie eyes being a hazel color. In the ears are large rings ol the wire feathers from the wings of the cassowary. Their noses are profusely ornamented. A hole is made in each from above downward into the nostril, and into this bone are put bamboo, bone, etc., the lower end coming out of the nostril, so that the bamboo is thus fixed in a perpendicular position. One man wore in this way two-leg bones of a pig, each one fnlly three-fourths of an inoh in diameter and about seven inches long. Some wore bamboos of similar proportions, others bamboos an inch in diameter on each side and about two inches long. Some again had cassowary claws stuck into these holes with the nointa direotarl toward the eyes. In many cases be- j tween the holes for the reception of this nasal jewelry there are on each sideof theridgeof the nose perpendicu lar slits about a half inch long. Many wear braids, while around the neck r.re sometimes suspended a half dozen pitv'1 lrit of V. i ;--sh, probably of those killed by the wearers, dried and tanned, or perhaps several strings of dog's or wallaby's teeth. On the breast are cross-belts of fibre or Job's toars, and around the waist are gener ally two girdles, one fastened with a shell that acts as a button. On the arms and legs are rings of plaited cane or mat work. But the most notable of all is the fact that none of the Tuseres are tattooed. New York Tribune. Henbane as an Adulterant. A correspondent of the London Times relates an experience which shows how dancer may arise from the most unsuspected sources. He rays that ten minutes after be and his wife hud Cuiched their soup at ' dinner the other evening both were attacked by faintness and dizziness, I the symptoms increasing in violence until he deemed It expedient to sum mon his physlGlan. Then he disco v-t ererl that, all his snrvants wore anffor. 1 intr in a similar way. The doctor, as soon as he arrived, perceived that 1 poison was at work, and at once re- ( sorted to heroic measures, which proved effectual. Investigation re vealed the fact that the cook had flavored the soup with what had been ' bought f;ir cslcrj seeds, but which proved to be henbane. A visit to the grocer who had sold the stuff was then made, and in his possession were found two m rc bottles labled 'celery seed," but containing henbane. The grocer, it appears, was wholly inno cent in the matter. Ha had procured tho seeds fiom a wholesale Brtu, which had imported them f.-6ia France. It appears that henbane is 50 per cent cheaper than celery seeds. and that s me French exporter is j using it as an adulterant. Persons , buying rench celery seed would do well to make sure that they are get ting the genuine article. Imitation Peart. Imitation pearls are now made pret tier than the genuine. The salos of a little fish that swims the Mediter ranean are pulverized to dust, and tha most luminous portion of tho powder saved. This sparkling dust is then spread on the innner surface of little glass spheres, and your pearl is male. At first the scale dust was spread otfer the outer surface of the "pearls," bnt it rubbed ofif. The pearls made by this process are really prettier than tha product of the oyster, but then, they j aren't pearls, you knor. 2fvw York New, i 1 I I t If It's a Sprain, Strain, i St. Jacoos Will Cure It BEECHAM'S PILLS (Vegetable) What They Are For Eiiiousness dyspepsia sick headache bilious headache indigestion tad taste in the mouth foul breath loss of appetite when these conditions are caused by constipation ; and con stipation is the most frequent cause of all of them.
