The trfuii-:iditu liunir iiieof snow-and Avind Avhi'-h swept over our ureal, level Nor'.'nw est in .binuary, 1SSS, was aecoiii piiiiii d by iticideiits tragic, thrillimr and heroic, that will no doubt heconie n part of he history of the vast region over A hieli t le siorin swep! . It was ia connection with hi) -hauling in one i.( the marsiiy, unsettled town sliips of Iowa that lli"ic occurred nil in eident of extreme peril, of fortitude ainl intelli'i Dt exercise of the faculties amid 'icat d-nc'cr, which, at the time it eanii to I iirlif , was almost lost silil of in our iniitiNt to the widespread ciiamit ies Aviii' h fell up ,u oui uuprepiired neii;h-bor- on t'ue more newly s'-t'led prairie of the North and West. The little railway station of Dupoiit, in one the thinly settled districts, was built entirely in the interests of the hay pli'iiiliir bil-iness, for which the unin habited flats of l.iiwlrmd and (iilll Lake townships furnished thousands of tons of !.rta-s. Over this tract, a do.en mile-, in vx b a:, ms far hack Iroui the riihvay us hav can be haule I with proiil, are scattered every summer 'he camps of the h-iymak-es-, and the low ticks or ".stacks" "row ami accumulate until they dot I he pntiri" so thii kly as to hero. in- for the time th" ili.tinuisliin; feature of th- landsc tpe. Tlit le are at the station larire hay iiarns, rout ii n im.' steam presses, In which, Irom September until April, the hav is hauled, stowed and baled, leiuly for .shipment. Anion:; those who were hauling hav at till- time of the urcit storm wire Kick .Inrdan an I his small brother Orr, a little fellow, too mmiii In attend school rcLfii larly, w ho went, iiloii on pleasant days to tramp i'.owii the h.iy in the frame of the bii: rih k. It had been pleasant enough for On to o on every trip thai week up to the lii'ht of the bli.ard. and the day was so warm ami line thai llii k's sisters, .b-anie and i "arrie, yoiineer than himself hut ohler than Orr, olitaim-d the permission of their teacher to -.'o hiiini- at. recess, in order that they miudit o with their brothers for a ride to the hay Meld. Their mother hail promised that they should o upon the !irst warm day after sleihinj; rami'. They arrived at the hoiiso just iim Dick mid Orr drove up for a lunch, before ;o int( after their last load fur the day, and, as it would be dark before they eould 'el back, tlm tfirls, too, jot each a slice of bread a id cold meat to munch on the load. Dick spread two heavy horse-blankets, which were always i .irrted in winter to throw- over his horses when standim;, upon one i' the boUom boards of the lack, and e.-itd .leuiie and Carrie unoii them. Then, little ill-earning whit, was befoie lli. in. the brothers and sisters drove sw!ily cut upon t new sleigh road, which . 1 them loi-seeral miles over a piairie almost as level as a him llo i. 'flu- h ivsiaeks were reached, and while the boys workeil at. their loadim:, the little uitls raeed about, tumhleil in the hav, or rolled .-.now lulls as they pleased". The load of hay was taken from lie boUom of a sink aioiiiul which the snow had drifted, thawed and tro.en until mm '.i of the outside hay had to In cut loose with an ac or freed with a shovel, bo.h ot which implements Dick carried for that purpose. It took much longer than usual to load upon this occasion, rind evenim; Was already draw iliir on w hen finally the little yirls were heipeil up hi the load ami the team wits turned toward home. ll had Is en mild and thaw-in;; all day, so milil, indeed, thai Dick had feared this would be their last trip with a sh ich until snow should come aain; but as he climhrd npon the load to stait for home, he notii' -d that a heivy fjray bank had lorine I ai loss the western sky, and that it seemed to be iirowin thick overhead. The air had suddenly become rather ( hilly. lie told ids brothers and sisters that it would snow befora I hey ;:ot home, and that they had heller "cuddle down" in the hay and throw the horse blankets over their laps. He drove foi ward for a lew ii. mules, iirin the horses to a ha!f-;ro, and uneasily lancini; t , , wit rl the dens- ray bank, winch rapidly overcast ihe west and north, and threw a irlooni nml cold iu advance, as it ap proached. The il irkncss came on rapidly, and soon the roar of a hih wind broke upon 1 Hek's ears. 'It's a bli.ard I" he thought, with alarm, for he had been born upon the Northwest prairies and knew the dinner of IniiiLT caught out upon that mowed llat, so t..r from any house, for the near est dwelling was that of a farmer across (lull Lake, two miles ami u half to the houlheas'. He ha i not much time to think or to exercise his fears liefuro tin) great storm was upon them. It was nothing less than a hurricane fi i the ln'ciiminKi andntthu tlrst tleri'e jjust the bit; unwieldy nifk. careeue l with its load so that the littlo girls screemed with friirht, and the horses stopped and stood turning their heads away from tlio pelting sleet which drove down ut the iirst burst of the siorin. The air whs tilled instantly with thin drivini; ice. Dick shouted at the animals nnd slapped ut them with thu lines, bat the- aototd not l induced in torn their headi against tha storm. Thry atood aa if jiaralyzcd by the flrrra blaat of wind and sleet. Another and more furious awrep of thp hurricane came almost immediately, and this time the rack waa lifted com pletely olT the sled and overturned with hay nnd riders. Fortunately, there wan a considerable drift of snow beside tlio road, and neither Dick nor the yountrer children were hurt by the full. They had all, with a common impulse, jumped fiom the top of the load as it careened over, nml o fell, or rather tumbled, outside the sweep of the rack. A they scrambled to their feet the stiff wind was so filled with hay and snow that they could scarcely distinguish each other. The rack turned bottom side up, and. .is it was built Iu the shape of a "figure four" (piail-trnp, held most of the hay securely beneath its frame. Dick ''till held to one of the linns, and the horses stood shivering with fear and cold, for t'uy temperaturij had suddenly dropped far below tiie frer.iuir point. 'let behind the rack out of the wind!-' he screamed to tho younger ones, who were elinttinsr to each other in the endeavor to stand up before the racing wind. They obeyed him, and, hugging close against the framework, found them selves protected from the cutting blast, but snow nnd sleet whirled over the top and about the ends in blinding scurries. Dick knew instinctively that to nt- tempt to vet those children nn the bare I sled and to drive them to n place of safe ty only inc ut certain death to them all. In the first place, it would require all their strenirth to dim on. .Moreover, they could not endure a half-hour even of such exposure to the storm. With darkness coming on nnd tho air tilled with driving snow, tiiero was tho barest possibility of his being able to find a house it could only be found by run nin j- nniiist it or into a vard even if he should be able to drive and keep the children alive all niirht. His plans were ijuickly made, and a! m in of twice his age could not have made them with greater good sense, or j have shown a braver spirit iu their cxe-' cutioii. j He stripped the hnrnes from his J horses and turned them loose. Then, I without Availing even to see which diree- ' tiou the animals took, ho ran to his brother and sist-rs. I Althoil :'n it had been so warm when they started from home, their mother had insisted that Jennie and Carrie should ! drcv warmly, an 1 take cloaks and com- I forters with them. These they had put on before the storm came, mid Dick, I after diguing in the hay for a few inin- ' ute between the boards of tho rack, dis covered the horsc-blankcts upon which the children had fortunately been sitting when the load overturned. i While digging for them he had pre- i pared a "nest, as he termed it, for the three small ones, and ho now ordered them to get iu there while he tucked the blankets around them. Frightened and hushed by the terrific storm, they obeyed without ii murmur, and the bravo young fellow told them that they must "cuddlo close togothcr ami never peep outside" till they heard him call them.. lie said that he would go nnd bring them something to cat as soon us he ;ould get back from Mr. Wuldimmn's across t til 1 Lake, and then uftcr tho hliva'-d was over they would u'.l go home. lie knew the snow avouII drift over then-, m a very few minutes, and be lieved that if they kept ipiiet their lu-eaih would warm the "nest," ami no doubt keep them alive for many hours. I!at he knew also that such blizzards have been known to lust with iiflabated fury for t wo or three days, mid that there was little likelihood of their being able to outlast such a storm. Therefore, his only hope was to reach help if possible, and get it to them the moment it should be possible to breast the bli.zard. (iuli Lake lay user a mile distant, di rectly to the southeast. It was one mile and a half across it, and on the other side lay W.ildcman's ranch, a large group of buildings, dwellings, burns and shedding for stork, enclosed by a large yard which stretched along the lake shore for forty rods or more. Dick hoped that he might be ublo to reach this ranch and to find it. , Hut toning his overcoat tightly about him and pulling a "Norwegian cap" w hich he wore tightly down over his ears, he set out, goingdirectly with the storm, which came from the northwest. He started ut n stiff run. Tho wind j nearly lifted him olT his feet at every , step, and cut the backs of his legs ami the sides of his cheeks icily. j 11" soon loiind it impossible to tell whether hi was going directly with the j w ind or not, as it blow iu changeful gusts and whirled violently about him. Hut there was a mile of lake shore in front, and he reached it at length and found himself upon the ice. It had now grown dark, and amidst the pitchy blackness of night nnd the thick drift of miow he could no louger make use of his eyes. In fact, ho was obliged to shut them and allow himself t be carried over the ice by the wind. A part of the time he was able to keep his feet, but often ho was thrown forward aud actually blown over thu rough ice for rods. The skirt of his overcoat oc casionally blew over his head, and the bitter wind pierced every part of his body. It was a rough and terrible experience getting across tho luke, uud ho wus glad he lad not attempted to take his broth ers and sisters w ilh him. When ho at length reached the south ern bank, he was so chilled and ex hausted that he could scarcely koep his feet at nil. Tho bank was high at the point where he reuched it, uud ho knew it could not be opposite tho ranch fence, as tho high bank was west of that. So iie turned, and alternately walked aud crawled eastward, guided in that direc tion by the wind. For a long time ho forced - ' way ulnng tho edge of the ice, w (eh was swept bare, guided by tho sense of feol iug uud tho direction of tho wind, but at eugth ho stumbled against something and joyfully discovered it to be a feliee. ' As it afterward proved, it was an ex tension of the cattle-yard, a corner of which was built down into the edgo of tiie lake to afford water for tho stock, and had he missed it by even a few feet he would undoubtedly have perished. The discovery of It gave him new life nt once and aroused all his faculties, He climbed o-er the fence so ns to get insido tho yard, and then, by feeling, followed it until he came to a connection with tho cattle-shed. Once in the shelter of these, he whiped his numbed arms and stamped his chilled feet until circulation pnrtly restored, then felt his way along to tho barn, and at length managed to reach the ranch dwelling guided by tho glimmer of a light which he could see through the storm. Ho was welcomed nnd warmed and fed, and promised that by every )Hssihe effort that could be made the men should help him to rescue his brother and sis ters when daylight came. Dick found that ho had escaped with only a slight frosting of his faco and fin gers, but his anguish on account of the little ones he had left buried in the hay was intense. lie did not sleep at all. but walked tho floor of tho ranch kitchen, where he vas allowed to keep a roaring lire all night. Kvery few moments ho would go to tho windows, scratch tho frost, nnd endeavor to peer out into the storm. He could gather no encouragement un til daylignt, whea he discovered that tho snow was no longer falling, and that tlio sky would soon be clear. He roused the ranch hands at once, as two of them had agreed to go with him. In a short time the men were up. Some hot coffee was drunk, a jug of it was tilled from the pot, and a sharp-shod team was harnessed. Tha horses were blindfolded, their heads wr ipped in blan kets to protect them from the blinding urift which Avas still driving hard from the northwest. This team xvas hitched to a double sleigh filled with rubes and wraps. Then, mutlling themselves in the bottom of the box, the party set out ncrosa tho lako in the very teeth of the wind. The horses were old and steady, and, after some snorting and tossing of the heads, as a protest against the novelty of complete "blinds," took a steudy hard trot, ever the corrugated ico. On reaching thu farther shore of the lake aud ascending to the prairie, Dick, w ith his head completely mulllod to tho eyes, took a standing position nnd, bracing himself, directed the move ments of the driver. The short distance of a mile and the steady direction of tho wind enabled him to hit tho hay-road at a point so close to the overturned rack that he caught sight of the top of it us they were passing some rods distatit. A moment later they had halted ami tied thu team, and Dick had pointed out tho spot w here his companions were, to dig. Then, utterly overcome, ho threw himself upon the drift aud buried his face in his arms. His grief and sus pense nt that moment were almost beyond endurance. Ho had no idea that tho children could have survived such a fear ful night. Hut five minutes of silent digging occupied his companions, and ut tho end of that time both of them gave a triumphant shout. They had uncovered the nest, and a cloud of steam rose up from the blankets. Dick avus on his feet instantly. A moment later tho three young Jordans wera dragged forth, alive, but stupid with cold ami a drowsimss which would not have left them alive many hours longer. Yet they had escaped any serious frostbite, and n dexterous rubbing, slinking and jouncing restored their cir culation uud their senses. They were bundled into tho sleigh amid robes and conifoitcrs, and, despite the severity of the weather mid tho drifting snow, were taken immediately toward homo, where their welcome must be imagined. One of Dick's horses perished in the storm, but the other turned up nlivo and well the next day at n farmer's stables twelve miles south of Gull Lake. Youtli' Coiiijiaiiitin. Four Sleepless Years. Four years without sleeping a wink. That sounds preposterous, but it is ex actly the case of an old negro now living in Athens, tla. Charley Harden is his name, and the snows of age have settled down upon him. In slavery times ho belonged to John White, who lived at that time iu the same place. Charley was seen on tho streets recently talking to several of his friends nnd telling them of his curious condition. "For four years," said he, "I have not slept a wink. I hear continually a buz.iug sound, and it seems as if several persons were talking to me all tho time. At night. I lie in my bed with my eyes wldo open, and if I do sleep never close them, and always hear the talking. It is an awful thing to bo talked to for years, uud through the long nights to havo tj listen to this nonsense." Charley has tried doctors for his sleep lessness, and has found uo remedy, und has given up ull hope ol ever sleeping ugaiu.

With care, furniture may be kept look ing nice for years, but without this care it soon become dingy and shabby. A thorough cleansing, once a month, at least, should lie given to upholstered fur niture that Is in every-day use. Articles covered with plush or any goods with a pile may be brushed with a bristle brush, but for hair-cloth a light switch works best, wiping off tho surface afterward with a damp cloth. Wipe tho wood with a damp cloth, and if there are any dents in it, it is said tho application ol several thicknesses of wet blotting paer held in place Mil dry by a warn fiat iron will remove the dent, unless a very deep one, when several applications may bo necessary. When the wood-work is dry, rub with warm linseed oil and polish with chamois skin. White spots may be removed by alcohol simply pressed on the spot by a cloth that is not linty, and not rubbed, as rubbing will take off the varnish. A flannel cloth moistened with kerosene is good to rub the furniture with, and tho disagreeable odor of tho oil soon disappears. Courier Journal. IRONtNO SHIRT WAISTS. First, be sure that the waist Is properly starched in boiled starch and thoroughly dried; then mako a weak, cold starch and dip the collars and cuffs into it, being careful not to wet into tho other parts of the garment as it takes longer to dry, and the starch in those parts is not needed. Lay tho waist (wrong side out) with the back to tho table, told nuo sleeve upon it, then the other, lay over those tho front!, sprinkling cacn part ac cording to the thickness of the cloth, roll tightly ami let lie the desired length of time, then proceed ns follows: With the sleeves still wrong sido out, rub (piickly the wristbands; now turn, and wo uro really commencing (what seems to many) an arduous tusk. Wo will irou first the outside of one Avristband, then the inside, shaping it ns we dry it. Next fold tho sleeve (at the opening) from wrist to shoulder, and iron; the upper half of the sleeve can be ironed better with it folded that way. Now fold by the under-arui seam nnd finish, und the sleeve will have the same appearance as a nicely laundered shirt. Follow with tho second sleeve, and Ave nre ready for tho other part. Uul over the part below tho wristband, then press thu tucks in the front into shapo with a moderately warm iron ; now uso a hot one, and thoroughly dry on the wrong side; in this wuy the shoulder seams can be easily dried. Next iron the back in the sumo way, pressing the plaits into shape on the right side, but doing tho greater part of the ironing on the wrong side. At lust the collar is reached, requiring but a few moments' time, and the gar ment which has been so much dreaded is finished, and the result is satisfactory. Sometimes it is dcsirablo to press a littlo on tho right sido ut the last; in that case do not iron as dry on tho wrong side Good UuuukcqiitKj. RECIPES.
