from tho Eastern Shore were funking n
horseback journey through the moun

Lnto one iiiituinn (lav, they were fol
lowing a (deep bridle path to 11 place

Bpieil a light among tho trees, ntnl
reaching it with difficulty over HtumpH
and stones, they found a log onbin,
whoso only inmate was a bruwny
Bootohmun of about fifty.
In niiKwer to their request for ao
oommodution for tho night, he replied
rather gruffly that thoy were welcome
to his rough quarters, hut nn his wife
bad died Bomo week before, ho and
tho three boys were obliged to do
thoir own cooking, with indifferent
TOHtilt. There whs no Htnblo, but
only u rudo shed for tlio enw nnd her

abuuduut shuro, us, tying them under
convenient trees, ho led thn way back
to tho house for their owners.
Moroly remarking that "tho boys
would return later," their hunt wasted
no more words on tho unexpected vis
itors, ns ho proceeded to fry Home
bacon and make fresh corn pone. On
uch mountain faro the young men
lipped heartily, assisted by copious
drafts of good tea, which seemed to be
the 0110 luxury that had followed the
pionoer Boot iuto lint Now World
home.
Thore were two beds, into ono of
which tho travelers gladly crept, as
thoir host said that he uud tho boyu
would take turns sleeping in the other.
Tho tired horsemen wore just touching
tho plcusuiit borders of dreamland,
whou they were roused by tho out ranee,
of a tall, strapping follow, who ciiino

Somehow left the impressiou that his

revolvers under their pillows, and
with tense yet suppressed excitement
waited lor what might happen next,
exchanging nn occasional whisper tin
der the friendly shelter of the bed
clothes. An hour passed, and as tho
two mountaineers were now dosing in
their chairs the travellers began to
breathe more freely.
Suddenly a peculiar whistle, cutting
shrilly through the quiet night start
led them to fresh wakefulness, and
tho old man, rousing tip, stirred the
fire and moved about cautiously,
glancing now and then toward tho bed
to see if the sleepers wero disturbed by
his preparations for supper. A few
minutes Inter two more young giants
stalked into the cabin, stacking their
guns in n corner, and placing their
long bowic knives by the side of others
on the stone jamb of the fireplace, where
they made a fearful glittering row to
the watching eyes.
Again thern were significant glances
at tho bed in the furthest, darkest cor

epiictly nto their late meal. Matters
begun to look very serious to the
young men, now fully convinced that
the Scotchman's tale of his recently de
ceased wife was nil pure invention, and
that they wero really caught in a den
of horse-thieves. There was no use
in shouting for help in these unfre
quented woods, so, determined to sell
life dearly, the travellers lay quietly ill
their bed, but with every nerve
strung, nnd with revolvers grasped
ready t fire nt th: slightest iilnrm.
Iu the Hemi-diitknoss of tho cabin
they could wnteh every movement of
the men, whoso forms wero plainly
outlined ngainst tho tire. Soon tho
old man rose, uud taking a book from
a rude clipboard, began reading in un
dertones ; but unaccustomed to the
Scotch invent, the Virgininns caught
but a confused murmur of sounds.
Ono whispered to the other: "I
have no doubt they nro rending sour.)

directions how to kill us." Then as
the men huddled together to hear
something thnt aeonicd especially in

there ; it's our only chance in this
trap."
"No," .mid his moro cautious com
panion, "wait till they make n move
toward their guns."
"Pooh! it's thoso big bowios they
will use for us."
"Well, let us wait any bow till we
see them start for their knives."
So they waited with feverish anxiety
until 11 simultaneous movement nmong
tlio group nt the fireplaco convinced
the unfortunate travellers that their
time h id come. Sitting bolt upright
in bed, with pistols cocked, they pre
pared to fire, and then spring upon
the surprised gang.
Under his breath, oncsaid : "Ready !
Cue, two" but ere tho lust fatal word
whs pronounced, . both pistols fell
harmlessly on tho bed, nnd the two
young men stared blnnkly before them.
With 0110 accord tho four big, grim
Scotchmen had dropped 011 their
knees, while through tho quiet cabin
came iu low, yet distinct tones from tho

Arctic and Antarctic ("ilmnto.
It is a remnrkablo fact that the cli
mate of the Southern Polar region is
much more severe thnn that of corres
ponding regions to tho north. It is
well known that -a race of human
beings live within the Arctic Circle
with some degree of comfort, but at n
corresponding degree of latitude nt
the south nil is ono dreary waste,
wholly uninhabitable. At tho north
reindeer and musk ox are found iu
grent numbers, but tintnrnlists sny
that not a single laud quadruped is
known to exist beyond tho fiftieth de
gree of Southern latitude. Arctic ex
plorers report flowers in abundance as
high ns 78 degrees north in summer,
but no plant of any description, not
even a moss or lick.-n, has ever been
observed beyond Coekburu Island,
which lies (it degrees 12 minutes south.
In Spitsbergen, whieh is 7S) degrees
north, tho vegetation ascends tho

but 011 every land within or near tho
Antarctic Circle the snow line is ut tho

The reason assigned for this remnk

At the Berlin Anthropological Soc

curious particulars about thn Kendeh
people in tho German district on Lake
Xyussu. Their country is bordered ou
the north by the Livingstone moun
tains and on the south by tho lake,
and this favorable geographical posi

in a peculiar manner and nttnin n rel

"Their affections arc largely developed.
Friendship is especially valued among
them, and love between tho sexes

tic affections. Suicide caused by grief
for the loss of a wife, a child or even
a favorite animal is not infrequent.
Tlio favorite form of suicide is to en
ter the water and allow one's self to be
devoured by a crocodile. In war timo
all unnecessary cruelty is avoided, and

made prisoners nro set froe again.

TUB RIPKNINO OP CIIKESF.
The making of a curd from milk In
only tho first stage of tho notion of the
rennet. Green cheese thus mndo is
somen hat more digestible thnn is the
cheese inudo by natural curdling of
milk without rennet. Tho digestive
principle goes with tho cheese into the
stomach. But if the cheese is put
away to ripen, tho rennet still works
through it, changing the enseinc, difll
cnlt to digest, into a compound con
taining the sumo protein or nitrogen
ous food in soluble form. It is thus
thut w ell-cured cheese becomes so easy
to digest, contrary to tho usual opin
ion based on the indigestibility of
fresh curd. A piece of cheese with
bread is moro healthful, moro nutri
tious and more digestible than is bread
and butter. The hitter, indeed, is
only digestible when it is liked
nnd thus stimulates tho glands that
furnish saliva. Broad and butter are
each a different form of carbon. One
is starch, tha other is fat. In cheese
the digestive organs find tho kind of
nutriment that gives strength, while
tuo bread and butter mainly contribute
to milking fat and maintaining animal
heat. American Cultivator.
AS IMPROVKU HORSE NTALW
The following is a description of nn
improved horse stall, the merit of
which consists in its simplicity, says
tho Live Stock Record :
Iu tho center of tho stall a box
stall a pit is dug 18 inches in diame
ter, and three feet deep. Into this is
put cobblestones 3"to 5 inches in dia
meter, until they reach tho top. Throe
largo flat stones are placed over thorn,
which just fill tho top of tho pit. A
load of ground limestone is then
spreud around tho outer edge of the
Htull and raked towards tho centre,
giving it a gentle slope in this direc
tion. Over this is spread two iiu-lus
of yellow clay which is well tamped.
The stall, when thus completed, it
like an oval dish, and carries all the
urine to the centre and into the pit,
where it gradually soaks away. Thore
boiug no opening in tho bottom of the
pit, no bad odor comes back into tho
stable, as so often is done when a
drain pipe is used to carry off the
nrine. Another advantage of Hub
stall is the shape, which moro nearly
fits tho horse while lying down, and
requires less struw for bedding.
COST OP COW MILKING.
Your correspondent asks what he
can ufl'ord to pay for having women do
the milking. We have several times
had an arrangement with tho wives of
our tenants for milking morning and
evening, and have puid ten cents for
each service that is, twenty cents per
day. This is based upon an hour's ser
vice at each milking, at tho rate of $1
for a day's work. In an hour's timo a
good milker ought to milk ten cows.
There are several reasons why wo
men are to be preferred for milkers
when tuey can ue nan, or w hen a por
tiou of the force cau be women. Thoir
I natural manual dexterity is greater
than that of men, and thoy will milk
with more rapidity und with greater
I ease to the cows, whieh means
that they will got more milk,
and the udders of tho cows will be
' kept in better condition. The pres
ence of women at milking time checks
rude conversation and boisterous con
I duct, and the quieter the stable can be
kept tho betto, especially if you have
any nervous cows. The men are not
pt to neglect the thorough denning of
the stalls or brushing of the cows iu
occasional absence of the proprietor if
they know that women are to aid in
the milking. Tho average man, born
or long resident iu the country, looks
npon every woman as a lady, and en
tertains for her a respectful courtesy
w hich keeps him upon his good behav
ior in her presence. H. will be mak
ing a good move to introduce as ninny
women as he can among his milkers.

Tim sheep's poot.
The sheep's foot is constructed in
quite a different manner from thnt of
the horse, which is known ns nnolipcd
or single hoofed aniinnl. The spivm
between the claws of tho double hoof
of ruminants is a place, of danger, nnd
quito often tho sent of disease. And
this is moro imminent in the sheep
than in the ox. This spniv is protect
ed on the inside by a thick skin, cov
ered with hair, to relieve the friction,
but is frequently ground down to tho
tissue underneath it, by tho grit of
sandy or gravelly pastures. The horn
of tke front part of the hoof, too, grow s
in such a manner ns to invite disnso
ns it extends beneath the sole, when in
a soft condition produ-ed by wet ground,
ntnl then turns- under nnd gathers
filth, which soon corrodes tho soften
ed sole, nnd lays bare the vascular tis
sue of the interior of the foot, which
then becomes diseased by exposure to
the ground, nnd by the poisonous in
fluence of tho decomposing mutter of
the horn. The lameness then begiti'i,
thnt in time increases nnd nprends to
the inner pnrts of the foot, which sup
purate nnd discharge mntlcr, that nets
ns 1111 inflammatory poison, nnd quick
ly causes gangrene of tho whole foot.
This then produces a poisonous virus,
which nffeets tho soil, and Communi
cates the disenso to other sheep whose
feet may bo in tho least injured by
overwearing, or softening of the horn,
nnd nre neglected by the shepherd. Thus
it is imperative that the flock should nut
only be watched for the first appear
ance of disease, but examined fro
queiily, to detect nppronching danger.
The common nnd effective remedy is
to keep nil excess of horn pared down,
to shorten the toes when they arc too
long, und to npply nn ointment of
pure vaseline, slightly carbolatcd, to
any rnw or soro parts. The diseaso
known as foot rot, w h. -tiier simple or
malignant nnd contagious, is easily
managed nt the outset by this treat
ment. But when the whole flock be
comes diseased, through neglect, nnd
tho piistures nro permanently poisoned
by the virus, th-i en.-to become serious,
and thorough measures must be taken
to save the flock. American Agricul
