He can form no conception of medicine, for example, which even remotely re sembles ours. To his mind all dis eases and disorders are the work of evil spirits, and the remedy is to exorcise those spirits and, if possible, induce them to pass into some sub stance, such as a magic stone, where they will be under the control of the medicine man, who is, in fact, the priest, for he merely sings over his patient and never thinks of giving him anything but prayers. Eveu in the case of a person bitten by a rattle snake the pi.lpable cause of injury is entirely overlooked, and resort is had to songs and prayers until the patient dies.

"All the other girls are dressing for Katie Stanbury's charade party, aud I am here, all alone, like a wretched little mouse, with no pleas ure, aud uo prospect of any." Miss Nairn was rather an exceptional youug person. Her boudoir was a little square room of hewn stone, with a bull's-eye window of glass, so high up that she had to clime on a stool to look out of it. ■ Her prospect, once safely mounted on the stool, was of rolling green waves, with here and there a silver-breasted gull darting athwart the heaving surface; and her sole companion iu the circular tower of Loue lighthouse was an old man of sixty-odd, who read "Blair's Sermons," and amused his leisure moments by working out an unlimited series of chess problems, which were contained in a dogs-oared "Chess Manual." There ho sat by the window, where tho stormy rod of tho sunset streamed iu like splashes of blood against the wall, musing intently over the black and white squares of the board he himself had painted on tho deep win dow-seat, with tho ocean dashing in sheets of foam at tho foot of the light house, and the wind shrieking around its iron-railed top. "Uncle!" said Nanuie, timidly. "Well?" Ho spoke without looking up from the board. "May I goon shore tonight?" "Ou shore? What do you wnnt to go 011 shore for?" he demanded petu lantly. "I haven't stirred out of this dis mal place for a week!" pouted Nannie; "and Kate Stanbnry is to have a charade party tonight, and she has in vited me." "Pshaw!" said old Moses Nairn, with one crooked linger hovering over an ivory castle, like "Fate" personi fied. "But can't I, uncle?" pleaded Nannie. "No, yon can't. Michael has gone to see l'.is mother tonight," shortly answered the old man,"and he'll not be back before morning." "I could row myself easily enough," pleaded Nauuie. "I've douo it before now, many and many a time." "I don't choose to be left alone," said Moses. Nannie oponed wide her bright blue eyes. "Why, uncle,you've been left alone here often," she said. "That don't siguify," snarled Moses. "I'm getting older uow, and I tell you I dou't choose to be left alone." "I shouldn't be gone long, uncle." "Will you leave off teasing me?" suddenly demanded the old man. And Nannie retreated, only to fling herself on one of the circular stone steps without, where she burst into tears. "And Charlie Coteswortli is to be there," she sobbed, "aud that young officer from Leesborough; and I did think so much of Katie Stanbury's charade party." And the shriek of sea-winds, and the thunder of breaking billows against the solid stone foundations of Loue lighthouse was all the answer that returned itself to her piteous plaint. Nannie leaned out of the narrow, slit-like casement, her dimpled face and red-brown curls framed quaintly iu by the jagged stone edges, and looked down to where the newly painted boat, secured by an iron chain, rocked to and fro in the surf. "Half an hour to laud." she said to herself, "and half an hour back agaiu, and an hour to stay. 1 could enjoy all the best of it, and be back before uncle could possibly miss mo. He thinks, because ho likes chess problems and stuffy old books, that every one else must. And he's eiglit aud-sixtv, and I'm only eighteen; and I've mended all his stockings and ironed all his shirts, and there's noth ing ou earth to do but to sit and twirl my thumbs. I will go." Softly the little rebel crept up the stone stairs almost like a moving sha dow, in the gathering dusk of the dim old tower —softly sho brushed out the glistening spirals of the red-brown hair, and put on her prettiest dress and freshest ribbons, shrouding them all with a gray serge cloak. And before old Moses Nairn had studied out the "Problem sixty two —white to mate, in four moves," to his satisfaction, the little boat was rocking far toward land, a moving speck upon the surface of the deep, with his niece, Nannie, resolutely leaning to the oars. As she drew the .jrating keel upon the shingly b.-ach, and flung the chain over a liugo wooden bulkhead to | secure it, she turned aud looked back word, where Lone lighthouse reared its slender shaft against the deep crimson of the dying sunset. "Uncle will be lighting the lantern soon," she said to herself. And away she fled, up the shelving shore, to the little settlement of houses which was by courtesy denominated a village. Katie Stanbury's house was all ablaze with cheerful lights. They welcomed her with a unanimous cry of delight, and gathered around her declaring that she had come just in time to help them out with "Othello and Desdemona" The lieutenant from Leesborough wrote her name down for the first waltz, aud Charles Cotes worth whispered to her to keep at least three dances for him. "We've boirowod Mrs. Leslie's white satiu wedding dress for Des demona," whispered Katie Stanbury. "Come up stairs quickly and dress." The room which they had assigned to Desdemona, as a tiring chamber, was intolerably warm. Nannie threw open the window, and looked out to ward the sea. There, still outlined darkly against the sullen red of the stormy western sky, Lone lighthouse seemed to lift a warning linger to her, its crystal eye dim and dark as that of a blind man. She looked once again, more intently than before, and began to tremble violently. There was no light iu the lantern at Lone lighthouse. And when Katie Stansbury came up to tell Desdemona that the audi ence was waiting and wondering, she found the white satiu dress lying in a crumpled heap on the floor, the candles guttering iu their sockets,and the door wide open. "Goodness me!" she ejaculated, tragically, "what has become of Nannie?" Nannie, with a strange foreboding of evil at her heart, had flown swiftly down to the beach, heedless of the lieutenant's waltzes and Charlie's dis appointment, unfastened ths boat,and was shooting out to sea with long, regular strokes. A storm was coming up. The red scowl of the suns6t had been no false prophet, as it seemed, for the wind muttered low, and the distant seuline was edged with trembling white-caps, while the nearer waves breaking against the shore, made a muffled roar, and there was a curious, lurid light iu the piled-up clouds against the western horizon. But of those things Nannie took little heed, as she rowed steadily to ward the lighthouse—the lighthouse which looked so strango without its usual eye of tire. "It is not dark yet —not quite dark," she kept repeating to herself. "Uncle may light the lantern at any minute. He has most likely foi gotten himself over those chess problouis." And, springing out of the boat at the foot of the lighthouse steps, she ruu through the shower of salt spray that made them so slippery at high tide, and, opening the heavily-nailed door, hurried up the winding staircase to the lanternroom. It was but the work of a moment to light'the huge lamp. The crystal re flectors grew radiant at once, and the long white banner of light streamed out, like magic fires, athwart the sul len surgo of darkening waters below; and then, with a long sigh of relief, Nannie turned to her uncle's apart ment. The low fire was burning in the little coal stove; there was no light in the room,but by the glimmer of the red embers she could see her uncle's figure, still bent over the black and white squares in the window-seat. He did not turn at the click of the door latch. "He is asleep," thought Nannie. "He often falls into such brief, heavy sleep of late, I'm afraid he is not as well as ho used to be." She advanced to his side,laying her hand lightly on his, with a smile. "Uncle!" she said, slightly raising hor voice. But the shriek which she uttered, as she snatched it back, rent the air like a dagger. For old Mcses Nairn's hand was cold as marble, and he himself sat there, with his head sunk down upon his breast, quite dead. All night loug she sat there, tend ing the light in the lighthouse, shud dering at the wail of the storm, and the war of the waves, and still more at the ghostly stillness in the room below. And when the moruiug broke, wet uud windy, and she saw herself reflected iu an opposite glass, she perceived that the one tress of hair which drooped over her right temple had turned as white as snow. By the next day's sunshine,a richly freighted ship rode gallantly into port, with a half hundred passengers, who would have been food for fishes if Nannie Nairn had not stood valiantly to her post. But 110 earthly consideration could ever induce her afterwards to enter the dreary stone walls of Lone light house; and the silver lock, shining out from among the golden curls of lier hair, bears an everlasting testi mony to the night of terror which she passed among the winds aud the waves, with Dea'h for her only companion.

When it is desired to use the head of a cabbtrge as a receptacle from which to serve salad, the core should be cut out by marking a circle around the" centre of the cabbage aud cutting down with a sharp knife. If some of the cabbage is needed to use with the salad, as much as will be required may be shaved out from the centre. This leaves the shell intact to boil at another time, or use it any way. Fried Chicken. This is a delicious dish, especially for lunches. Cut up four fowls (the old ones are the best) and place in cold water. Then boil slowly uutil the bones are ready to come out. Then season with pepper aud salt aud dried celery leaves (pulverize 1), if you have them. When the bones will come out easily, pick tlieni out and chop the pieces of meat, theu add the rich juices in which it has been boiled, mix well together aud pour into an earthen dish to become cold. Then slice and serve. Apricot Fritters. Drain the syrup from a can of apri cots, bring it to the boiling point, add one-half of a cupful of sugar and one tablespoonful of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water.

Peat together the yolk of one egg aud one-quarter of a cupful of cold water; add one-half of a cupful of flour,one quarter of a teaspoonl'ul of salt, one teaspoonful of powdered sugar and one-half of a teaspoonful of olive oil and beat until smooth. Whip the white of the egg to a stiff dry, froth, stir lightly into the batter and set away in a cool place for at least two hours. Have ready a kettle of smok ing hot fat. Dip each piece of drained fruit into the batter, drop into the hot fat and cook golden brown. Drain for a moment 011 unglazed paper and serve with the sauce. The Use of Nuts. As a diet, nuts ore very wholesome. In cookery, all of our native nuts have their particular uses. Even our despised peanuts are now employed in a variety of ways. Crushed and rolled to a flue powder, they can be used al most the same as flour. In parts of Europe where the chestnuts are com mon nuts, the natives grind them to a powder, aud bake bread and cakes out of it. These cakes could bo imitated in this country with good results. Both peanuts aud chestnuts are used for sandwiches in afternoon teas and luncheons. The nuts are ground to a powder, and then mixed with mayon naise dressing. The paste thus pro duced is spread over the thin slices of bread. A lettuce leaf is sometimes added to make the effect more tempt ing. Nut souj) is made by roasting them to bring out the aroma, aud then after they are pulverized with the rolling pin they are boiled to a mush. Then strain through tine cheese-cloth, and use the li juid as soup stock. The soup can be flavored with a little lem on, onion, leek, or other articles, but the flavoring should never be so strong thai, the nut taste aud aroma are dis guised. Value of Buttermilk. Tlio housewives who always use sweet milk aud baking-powder iu ar ticles where such ingredients or their equivalents are called for little guess the superior results which may be ob tained from the use of sour milk or buttermilk and soda. If sour milk is used it must be freely soured, not stale; hence, the best time to use it is in the summer time. Buttermilk is preferable all the year round. Bis cuits, griddle cakes, waffles, corn breads, mil ffins, gems, gingerbreads, cookies, etc., are all of them more tender, delicate and probably more wholesome if they are made of butter milk and soda. A general rule is one level teaspoonful of soda to 0110 pint of buttermilk or freshly soured milk. The soda must be first pulverized by rubbing with a knife ou the table or bread-board, then added to the flour, to be sifted with it. It is even well to sift tho flour, soda and salt togeth er two or three times to insure an even blending. Iu a very short time one learns to guoge the soda exactly to the acidity of the milk to be used.—Wom an's Home Companion. Household Hints. Invalids should eat lightly, and rest immediately after meals. A coffee-pot should be thoroughly washed, seal led and dried every day. Soft newspaper or filling is one of the nioest things to clean lamp chim neys with. A saltepoonful of salt, added to a quart of coft'ee, when made greatly improves the flavor. To give a flue flavor to corned-beef hash use good soup stock for moisten ing, with a pinch of salt, sugar and cayenne. Hemstitching for table linon is not now considered so desirable as a nar row, hand sewn hem, one as nearly like selvedge as prudent. To brighten furniture aud remove spots, take two tablespoonfuls of sweet od, one tablespoonful of turpentine. Use with a bit of flannel. The pillow craze still rages nnabated, putting forth new fads and fancies with each passing moon. The latest wrinkle is to collect pillow covers from as many different cities as possible, so that the cozy corners shall become a bit of cosmopolis.
