LEFT UNDONE.
It isn't the thing you do, dear;
It's the thing you've left undone
Which gives you a bit of u heartache
At the sotting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too muoh to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The geutle and Twosome tone
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
For life Is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
ind it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you a bit of a heartache
At the setting of the sun.
i The Brakeman and 112
4 the Squaw. 112
112 BY OT. WABMAN.
Here's the story of the building of
a branch line on a mountain railroad.
Conductor McGuire, being a new man,
was in charge of the construction
train, with Engineer Westeott in
charge of the engine.
N. C. Creede, afterwards famous as
the founder of C jde camp, had
located the Madonna mine at Monarch
camp, and created a necessity for the
bran-.h road. They had rushed the
■work, but the first snow caught them
still three miles from the booming
silver camp. A wandering band of
Indians, hearing of the excitement,
and not understanding it, had strayed
into the Monarch county, and down
the gulch as far as Maysville, then a
wild and thriving village at the edge
of the Arkansas valley. One day,
when it was storming, an old squaw
came to McGuire, and wanted a ride
Up the hill. It was a cruel day, and
the kind-hearted conductor carried the
Indian to the end of the track.
It was a month later when one of
McGuire's brakemeu, named Bowen,
who hud been hunting in the bills,
rushed into the caboose with tlie start
ling announcement that his partner, the
head brakeman, had been captured by
the Indians,
"Look here, Jack,'' said McGuire,
"are you lying?"
"Honest Injun," said Jack, "if
there's one there's a million; and
they've got Mickey tied to a stake.
We had become separated. I was
standing on a precipice, looking for
Mickey, when 1 saw the Indians sur
round him."
Now, Jack Bowen had lied so frequent
ly and luminously to the conductor
that the latter'was slow lo believe this
■wild tale; but finally he was persuaded
that it was true. Keturning to Mays
ville with the engine, he gave the
alarm, and the sheriff of Chaffee
county made up a posse and set out
in search of the brakeman.
The sun was going down behind the
range when the engine and the
caboose full of amateur Indian lighters
returned to the end of the track. Tak
ing Bowen as guide, the sheriff
scoured the hills, but found no trace
of the missing man. The storm in
creased with the darkness, and the
sheriff's posse was forced to return to
camj). It were useless to put out again
in the face of such a storm, and the
sheriff was about to return to Mays
ville, when the old squaw, whom Mc-
Guire had helped up the hill, put her
head in at the door of the way car and
signaled McGuire to come out. She
could scarcely speak a word of Eng
lish, but, pulling at the conductor's
sleeve,she started as though she would
lead h m into the hills. As often as
McGuire would stop the squaw would
stop. He tried to persuade her into
the car, but she would not. Now the
sheriff came out, and when he saw the
signals of the squaw he guessed that
ehe would lead them to the captive,
and when McGuire had told how he
had helped this Indian on her way up
the bill in a storm, he knew that the
Indian was trying to repay the con
ductor fi"/ Lis kindness. The unfor
tunate brakeman, McGuire explained,
had given the Indian tobacco and
whiskey; therefore, she would not see
him die without making an effort to
save him.
The sheriff called his deputies, and
taking a half-dozen volunteers from
Garfield camp, made sign to the In
dian and followed her away into the
wilderness of snow-hung pine and
cedar. Now aud then the squaw would
pause to get her bearings. The snow
had ceased falling aud the stars were
out. After tramping for an hour or
more, the Indian signed to the sheriff
to stay, and then disappeared into a
cedar grove. Presently she returned
and led them to the edge of a preci
pice. Just below them, in a little
basin, they could see a pine fire burn
ing aud Indians dancing in the light
of it. Sitting upon the snow hard by,
they saw the brakeman with his fet
tered hands over his knees and his
head bent forward like a man nodding
in a pew. The sheriff' asked the In
dian to lead them on and she made
sign tliut they must go far around for
the bluff was steep, and they followed
her. They had been a half hour out
of sight of the Indian camp, but
always going down and down, so they
knew now they must be near. When
they had gone within 100 yards of the
ludiaus,who had not heard them walk
ing upon the muffled earth, they
■topped to discuss the work that was
before them. The Indian, putting her
hand on the sheriff's rifle pushed it to
the ground and shook her head, mean
ing that she would not have them kill
the Indians, whom they outnumbered
two to one. The sheriff' was at a loss
to understand how he was to capture
this baud without firing, for he had uo
doubt the Indians would fire upon him
the moment they caught sight of him.
Jut the squaw was equal t'' tlie euier
gency. She began to form the m«n
la two lines. Taking hold of their
coats she would place a man on the
right flank and anotber on the left,
until she had divided the sheriff's
posse. She then placed the sheriff at
the head «112 one column and the con
ductor, whom she regarded as a sort
of captain, at the other, and then
made sign to them togo forward, one
h.alf ic/ the right and the other to the
left. Then she made it plain to them
that she would have them surround
the Indians. She brought her two
bony hands together slowly, with the
lingers spread out, and when they
were quite together she closed her
fists. So the sheriff made out she
would have them steal upon the In
dians and disarm them or awe them
into surrendering at the muzzles of
their guns, and he gave instructions
to the men accordingly. Of course
each individual must now use his
judgment, and so the little baud sur
rounded the Indians.
In the meantime the squaw stole
into the camp and squatted near the
fire. As the sheriff's men closed in
upon the Indians the squaw leaped to
her feet and put out a hand as a signal
for the band to be still. The Indians
listened, but the sheriffs men seeing
it all, stood still in the snow. Now
the squaw spoke to the Indians, say
ing that she had seen a great mauv
soldiers coming down the hill that
evening and giving it as her opinion
that the camp would be surrounded
and that if the Indians resisted they
would all be killed. When she had
succeeded in persuading them that it
would be best to surrender in case the
soldiers should come, she sat down
again. This, the sheriff concluded,
was a signal for the men to advance,
and the posse moved forward. When
they were quite near,the Indians were
made aware of their presence by the
snapping of a dry cedar bough, and
the sheriff, knowing that delay would
be dangerous, shouted to his posse to
advance. At the sound of his voice
the Indians sprang for their rifles, but
when they had got them and got to
their feet again, the sheriff's posse,
coming out of the woods from every
direction, held the glittering steel
barrels of their rifles in the glare of
the campfire and the Indians laid down
their arms.
The brakeman, who had concluded
that he was to be butchered or roasted,
was almost wild wjth joy. When
asked by the sheriff why they held the
brakeman, the leader said the white
man was lost, they found him and
were ouly waiting for daylight, when
they would take him back to his peo
ple and get "heap rum." The sheriff
pointed to the white man's fettered
hands and asked the Indian to explain,
and the Indian said that the man was
"heap mad," and they were afraid
that if they left his hands loose ho
would take their guns and kill them
while they slept, and if they left his
feet \iufettered he would wander away
in the storm and be lost.
After consulting the conductor and
the more important members of the
posse, the sheriff concluded, as it was
manifest that the Indians were ouly
holding the brakeman for ransom,that
he would allow them togo their way,
after exacting a promise that they
would return at once to their reserva
tion on the other side of the range.
WHAT RUBIES ARE WORTH.
liitvreHtiug Facta About tlie Vuluc o.
Tliein (icini,
"To the question, 'Which is the
most valuable precious stone?' nine
people out of ten, at least, will, with
out the slightest hesitation, reply,
'The diamond,'" said a dealer, in
gems. "But the value of a good-sized
diamond cannot approach that of a
ruby of the correct color and similar
dimensions.
"The worth of small rubies—stones
that are of less than a carat—is, if
anything, rather less than that of dia
monds of a like description ; but the
rare occurrence of large specimens ot
that dark carmine tint, which is looked
upon as the sine qua non of a perfect
ruby, causes these gems to increase in
far greater proportion than in the case
of diamonds. Kubies weighing more
than four carats are so exceptional
that when a perfect one of five carats
is brought to the market, it will com
mand ten times as high a sum as a dia
mond of the same weight, while ru
bies of six carats, without crack or
flaw and of the proper color, would,
in all probability, bring as high a price
as SSOOO per carat, or fifteen times as
much as a diamond of like size and
faultlessness.
"All over the East rubies are re
garded with the greatest possible favor,
and so it has been from the earliest
times of which we have any record.
The finest specimens are found in Bur
mail, and from time immemorial it has
been a law of that country that all
rubies above a certain size are the
property of tlie king, whoever maj
have been fortunate enough to find
them. It is thought to this day there
are concealed in Burmah, among the
treasures which the British invasion
caused lo be bidden away, rubies oi
far greater value and size than any
in Europe or this country."—Phila

r.ongeftt Fence in the World.
The longest fence in the world is
probably that which has just been fin
ished by the Erie Cattle company
along the Mexican border. It is 75
miles in length and separates exactly,
for its entire distance, the two repub
lics of North America. The fence was
built to keep the cattle from running
across the border and falling easy
prey to the Mexican cow punchers. Al
though it cost a great deal of money,
it is estimated that cattle enough will
be saved in one year to pay for it. It
is a barbed wire fence, with mesquite
and cottonwood poles, and for the en
tire length of it runs as straight as a
crow flies
OLDEST AMERICAN CITY.
REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES RECENT
LY MADE AT COPAN.
The Mysterious City of Honduras* the
Cradle of Maya Civilization Remains
of Great Temples and Palaces-A Huge
Structure 800 Feet High.
The Central American explorer,
George Byron Gordon, contributes an
article entitled "The Mysterious City
of Honduras," to the Century. This
gives an account of the recent remark
able discoveries made at Copan. Mr.
Qordou says:
Hidden away among the mountains
of Honduras, in a beautiful valley
which, even in that little-traveled
country, where remoteness is a char
acteristic attribute of places, is unusu
ally secluded, Copan is one of the
greatest mysteries of the ages. After
the publication, iu 1810, of Stephens'
account of his visit to the rums, which
made them known for the first time to
the world, the interest awakened by
his graphic description, and the draw
ings that accompanied it from the
skillful pencil of Catherwood, re
lapsed, and until withiu the last de
cade writers on the subject of Ameri
can archaeology were dependent en
tirely for information concerning
Copan upon the writings of Stephens,
which were regarded by many with
skepticism and mistrust. Not only do
the recent explorations confirm the ac
count given by Stephens as regards
the magnitude and importance of the
ruins, but the collection of relics now
in the Peabody museum is sufficient
to convince the most skeptical that
here are the remains of a city, un
known to history, as remarkable and
as worthy of our careful consideration
as any of the ancient centres of civili
zation in the Old World. Whatever
the origin of its people, this old city
is distinctly American—the growth of
American soil and environment. Tho
gloomy forest, the abode of monkeys
And jaguars, which clothed the valley
at the time of Stephens' visit, was in
great part destroyed about thirty
years ago by acolony from Guatemala,
who came to plant in the fertile soil
of the valley the tobacco for which,
much more than for the ruins, that
valley is famous throughout Central
America today. They left the trees
that grew upon the higher structures,
forming a picturesque grove, a rem
nant of which still remains—a few
cettars and eeibas of gigantic propor
tions, clustered nbout the ruins of the
temples shrouding them in a sombre
shade, and sending their huge roots
into the crevices and unexplored
chambers and vaults and galleries of
the vast edifices.
The area comprised within the limits
of the oiil city consists of a level plain
seven or eight miles long and two
miles wide at the greatest. This plain
is covered with the remains of stone
houses, doubtless the habitations of
the wealthy. The streets, squares aud
courtyards were paved with stone or
with white cement made from lime
and powdered rock, and the drainage
was accomplished by means of covered
canals and underground sewers built
of stone and cement. On the slopes
of the mountains, too, are found nu
merous ruins, and even ou the high
est peaks fallen columns and ruined
structures may be seen.
On the right bank of the Copan
river, in the midst of the city, stands
the principal group of structures—the
temples, palaces and buildings of a
public character. These form part of
what has been called, for want of a
better name, tho Main Structure—a
vast, irregular pile, rising from the
plain in Bteps and terraces of masonry
and terminating in several great pyra
midal elevations, each topped by the
remains of a temple which, before our
excavations begun, looked like a huge
pile of fragments bound together by
the roots of trees, while the slopes of
the pyramids and the terraces aud
pavements below are strewn with the
ruins of these superb edifices. This
huge structure, unlike the great pyra
mids of Egypt and other works of a
similar character, is not the embodi
ment of a definite idea, built in accor
dance with a preconceived plan and
for a specific purpose, but is rather the
complex result of a long process of de
velopment, corresponding to the
growth of culture aW keeping pace
with the expanding i.-ites of the peo
ple or the demauds ol their national
life. Its sides face the four cardinal
points; its greatest length from north
to south is about eight hundred feet,
and from east to west it measured
originally nearly as much, but a part
of the eastern side has been carried
away by the swift current of the river
which flows directly against it. The
interior of the structure is thus ex
posed in tho form of a clifl' one hun
dred and twenty feet high, presenting
a complicated system of buried walls
aud floors down to the water's edge—
doubtless the remains of older build
ings, occupied for a time, and aban
doned to serve as foundations for more
elaborate structures, but sculptured
monuments as well. The theory
of de\elopment, though it cannot be
set aside, seems inadequate to explain
this curious circumstance; and yet
there is just enough difference between
these art relics and those of later
date to indicate a change in style and
treatment. Whetheror not this change
continues in regular sequence lowen
down has not yet been determined.
If, as lam inclined to believe, we
Bhall And, away down in the lower
levels, t he rude beginnings from which'
the culture of the later period devel
oped, we shall have pretty conclusive
evidence not only that Copan is the)
oldest of the Maya cities, but that the
Copan valley itself, with the immedi- 1
ate vicinity, was the cradle of the
Ma.va civilization.

FARM
Secret of Good Butter.
To have good butter the maker
must be given good milk, must keep
it clean, then use common sense. The
buttermaker should have authority to
choose his own assistant, as a cheap
thick-headed man at the weigh can is
uot the one to judge of the fitness of
milk.—H. N. Miller in New England
Homestead.
Cream Temperature.
Strange as it may seem, some house
wives have not yet learned the use of
the thermometer in
but still rely u]ton the old "finger
test," which, in reality, is no test at
all. Meanwhile, the hot days ap
proach wherein the "butter spoon"
will be in demand on some farmers'
tables. Get a thermometer and know
"where you are at." If you have no
ice use plenty of cold water around
(uot in) the milk and cream. Churn
in early morn at as near 58 degrees as
you can get it.
About Farming Machinery.
This is the season for storing farm
machinery, and why do not manufac
turers make them so they can be stored
more easily? If horse rake thills
could be unfastened or a mowing ma
chine pole be removed without taking
the machine all to pieces, it would be
much better. The old-fashioned
mowing machines were made with a
wooden platform for the feet so the
driver could shift his position and
balance himself better on changes of
surface, but now improvement has
made two little foot rests or stirrups,
with a seat that keeps the driver's
body at an angle of 45 degrees aud
every motion of the spring tends to
throw him further out of balance.
This is all wrong. The machine
should be so made that the feet can
be moved to support the body and the
spring of the seat fixed so that instead
of throwing the driver's body back
ward and downward, it will give it a
vertical motion, which is more natural
and less injurious.—American Agri
culturist.
Itutmet Apple*.
The russet or rusty coat apple, as it
used to be called, is an old standard
variety, but so far as the English rus
set is concerned, is valuable chiefly
for its late-keeping qualities. It is
tough, and deficient iu flavor. But
what is known as the golden russet of
western Now York is a larger apple,
much better flavor, and having a
lighter-colored but still russety coat.
It is very nearly as good a keeper as
the English russet, and as good a
bearer. It should always be preferred
when setting out orchards where late
keeping apples are desired. One of
the peculiarities of the russet is that
if its skin is bruised it will dry up
without rotting. All kinds of russets
have this peculiarity. It is due to the
tannin iu their skins, which prevents
fermentation anil decay. There is
one variety of russet which is sweet.
It grows much larger than other rus
rets, probably because the sweet rus
set is a shy bearer. It has no com
mercial value because the yield is not
so great as that of better-known sweet
apples.
Thawing: Frozen Soil.
It is very difficult to make an exca
vation in frozen soil as is often needed
when the building of a house or base
ment barn is begun in winter. The
work may bo greatly helped by cov
ering the surface it is desired to thaw
with unslaked lime, applying just
enough water to start it to slaking,
and then covering the lime so that as
much as possible of the heat shall be
kept in. Heat does not readily pass
downward, and it will take from five
to ten hours to thaw down, depending
for time on the depth to which the
soil ia frozen. Where very deeply
frozen, as it is apt to be in dry, sandy
soil, it may be necessary to dig out
after the first freezing what soil has
been thawed, aud then make a second
trial of lime. When once the lime is
below the surface it is much easier to
confine the heat it gives off than it is
in the first application. Work on city
streets is often done in winter by first
thawing the frozen surface with coal
fires made in coal furnaces that reach
very close to the ground and give out
very powerful heat. But the lime
method is cheaper, and with the fur
ther advantage that the lime after
slaking may be used in making mor
tar. It is also valuable for applying
to all soil that has much vegetable
matter, as the lime hastens fermenta
tion, which is necessary to make veg
etable matter into food for crops.—

Millc From Thin Cow*.
It is a great mistake to allow a
milch cow to become very thin while
she is giving milk. If she be a deep
milker, she will never become very
fat, however highly fed. All that the
cow receives in feed in such case,
above what is needed to keep her i n
thrifty condition, goes into milk MI d
butter, and is worth more in thi t
form far mpre than what it costs s
feed. It Will be time enough t* r -
strict feed when the cow begins to
fatten and the milk to dry off. Prob
ably, even then, some succulent feed,
in place of part of the grain the cow
receives, will check the tendency to
fatten and hold the cow to her milk
longer than she otherwise would. The
trouble with cows thin in flesh is that
their milk will have always less of
butter fats than that from cows which
are in good condition, but not fat at
farrowing time. An old farmer once
said that a year when hay was plenty
and cheap, and corn or other grains
were scarce, was always followed by
high prices for butter the nest season.
Too many farmers rely wholly on
coarse feed for their cows during tho
winter months. Some grain in addi
tion would be much better. So that
the cow is not made too fat to have
her calf come safely and without
caked udder, for herself the more fat
is put into her, the more she will put
into the milk pail next summer.—
American Cultivator.
Clover nay for Horses.
There seems to be a great prejudice
in the minds of the public against
clover hay for road or driving horses.
That this is common, especially so in
cities, is fully proven by the greater
demand for timothy hay, and its very
much higher price over clover.
Chemical aualysis shows, writes J.
S. Woodward, in the Prairie Farmer,
that clover has by far the greater
feeding value, especially in those ele
ments necessary for the fast-driving
road horse, and the experience of
every one who has sensibly experi
mented in the matter fully substan
tiates the claims of chemistry.
The facts are that clover hay is much
better for all hay-eating animals, and
that they can do more work and drive
farther 011 the same weight. The trouble
is it is too good; it is so much more
palatable to the horse that if his rack
be stuffed, so he can eat his fill, he
will gorge himself so as to be rendered
unfit for fast driving. It is like fill
ing a boy with some dainty of which
he is very fond and then putting him
to hard work or close thinking,or like
turning a lot of hungry cows into a
fresh clover pasture, from which they
are sure to be troubled with hoven,
not because the food is unwholesome,
but so good that they eat so rapidly
as to retard digestion.
With mangers tilled ever so full of
timothy, especially as usually cut,
much over-ripe, the horse will not eat
too much. There is nothing to tempt
his appetite.
To feed clover hay to a road or
driving horse the feeder should use
his judgment and give just what the
horse needs and no more. Let it
be eaten ever so quickly, the horse
should have 110 more until the next
feeding time.
The feeder's brains and not the
horse's belly, should be the judge as
to what he should receive.
There is as much digestible,muscle
supporting food in one pound of
clover hay as in two and oue-lialf
times as much timothy, and as much
carbohydrates, weight for weight, and
fifty per cent, more fat or food of
energy.
Early cut, bright, well-cured clover
hay and oats make an ideal food for a
driving horse, fed u proper quantity.
Then, if the owner wants to amuse
his horse between meals, till his man
ger with uuv kind of straw; but if the
straw is bright and has been well
housed he will eat too much for his
own good in fast driving.
For a growing colt there is 110 food
so good as clover hay and wheat bran.
Poultry Notes.
Vermin may be expected in filthj
henhouses.
It is folly to expect eggs from poor
ly fed hens.
Nicely fattened poultry sells readily
and brings good prices.
As a means of recreation for over
worked business men the poultry yard
offers many attractions.
Have a lot of dry leaves or chopped
straw ready for the winter scratching
pen, as it is u thing almost indispen
sable for fowls; and then in this year
of cabbages there should be 110 lack of
green stuff to throw to them now and
then.
Fifty or more turkeys can be raised
on most farms every year without ever
missing what it takes to keep them.
They will bring enough ready cash to
buy the winter clothing for an ordin
ary family,or pay a year's taxes on the
farm.
There is no better floor than one of
cement in the poultry house. Keej) it
covered with fine sand or loam, which
will become mixed with the droppings
as they are made, and so increase the
amount of fertilizer and make it easy
to handle.
If you do not want the chickens in
the garden, take some of the garden
to them. Refuse cabbages are a de
light to them, and so are other vege
tables, Bince green stuff is becoming
scarce. For the little trouble you
take yon will be well repaid.
To fifty pounds of wheat bran mix
five pounds cotton seed meal, five
pounds corn meal and eight ounces of
salt and yon have a most excellent
feed for laying hens, or any other
fowls. This should be wet to a crum
bly mass before feeding. In winter
wet with hot water and feed quite
warm for breakfast

Has it Perfect Ear of Corn.
An ear of corn which Patrick Cullen
believes to be worth a small fortune is
being carefully preserved by that in
dividual, who recently found his prize
on Farmer Upright's place at Merion
Square, Montgomery County. To the
ordinary city man there is really noth
ing remarkable about the ear of corn.
Its kernels are not solid gold, nor are
there any diamonds concealed about
the cob. Its value lies in the fact that
somewhere at some time or other some
agricultural society offered a reward
of 81000 to any one who could find a
perfect eartyf ccftn with the kernels
growing in "an uneven number of
rows.
It has always been found that the
rows .-.re even, say ten, twelve, or
fourteen to a cob. This ear which
Patrick Cullen found, however, shows
thirteen rows around the butt and
eleven around the middle of the cob.
Many farmers to whom Cullen showed
his prize assured him that the ear was
as perfect as it could be, and that it
was renllv a [curiosity. Cullen is now
looking for the agricultural society
which offered the §IOOO reward.—
