ELLIS. \ David Morgan settled updn'the Mo nongahela river-, more than a hundred years ftgO, and erected his cabin in the wilderness, three or four miles from the nearest settlement. He had been a splendid type of the pioneer-stalwart, powerful, active, and an unerring shot with the rifle, but he was now 70 years of agc-. He knew the risk he ran from Indians, but he was brave, and the spot Where he located was so admirable lb every respect that he believed other settlers would speedily follow, thus steadily lessen the danger, until it should cease altogether. Morgan was warranted in his theory^ for common report placed the red men so far to the we^t that lt looked un reasonable to count upon their ventur ing Into this neighborhood; but the aborigines had a disagreeable habit of making their appearance where they were not desired. One morning, Morgan, having sent two of his children to do some work In a neighboring field, became uneasy over their long absence, and started in quest of them. Of course, he carried his rifle, for such was the custom of every pioneer ic venturing the briefest distance from home. Reaching the field, the old gentleman was Inexpressibly relieved to observe his youngsters at work, and he sat up on the feuce a few minutes to watch and give them necessary directions. It was while thus employed that ne made the alarming discovery that two In dians were standing a short distance off, talking and gesticulating in such a fashion that there could be no doubt they were planning the capture or death of the little ones. The father Instantly called to his children to run home as fast as they could, while he would cover their re- ? treat with his rifle. The house was almost a mile distant, but the children, terrified almost out of their wits, Im mediately started on a run for home. They were soon beyond danger, and the Indians turned their whole atten tion to the pioneer himself. A score of years before, "Morgan could not have been overtaken by any red-skin, but be was now too old to ron fast However, as the only re source, he struck a bee-w.. home, and. ran a considerable distance, with a fleetness which astonished himself ; but he couldn't keep it up and he speedily, realizad that he was only post poning a. deadly, hand-to-hand en counter. -Another frightful disadvantage un der which the old man was laboring was the woods through which he was running consisted of thin scattered trees nearly all of which we?e too small In size to afford shelter. Thus he was shut off from crouching behind one of the trunks, placing his hat on the end of his ramrod, and drawing the shots of his enemies, in accordance with the fashion of men, when placed fn similar peril. But in dashing through the woods, the panting fugitive passed a large walnut tree, which he Immediately saw was the very thing he needed. To reach it, it was necessary to wheel about and run back a rod or two. He did so. The Indians failed to understand the meaning of the movement It looked as if the venerable gentleman had sud denly changed his mind, and concluded to assume the aggressive. The result was that the red-skins were so terrified that they turned also, and dodged in among a lot of saplings where they made desperate efforts to shelter them selves. It is not impossible that if Morgan had continued his retrograde movement his enemies would have kept up their fligLi, but he prudently concluded to stick.to the shelter of the walnut tree. At this day, lt Is hard to say whether his.next proc ..ding was a ruse or not; but when he saw the frantic efforts of the Indians to hide behind the "sleek, Bilm saplings," he raised his rifle and blazed away. From that point for ward one of the noble red-men failed to display any interest in tho proceed ings. The survivor, instead of showing enough courage to wait until Morgan could reload his piece, immediately sprang from shelter and advanced up on the pioneer, with the evident pur pose of disposing of him before he could reload. This compelled the old man to take to his heels again, for he did not possess even a knife with which to de fend himself. The shor*"" respite he had gained gave him his wind, and he made good time for a short distance; but his pursuer was a young athlete, who gained rapidly, until within 20 yards, then fired a shot that missed the fugitive. This left the combatants upon some what more equal terms, though the old gentleman was quite exhausted from his severe running: but, nothing daunt ed, he clenched his rifle, and awaited the onslaught of the Indian, who drew a tomahawk and bogan dancing about and brandishing the weapon. The painted warrior looked dreadful in prancing around, . whooping and flourishing the glittering tomahawk, while at the same time, he continued edging closer and closer to his victim. But Morgan muufully stood his ground, with his rifle clubbed, until the dreaded tomahawk was about to descend, liieir-he threw himself slightly for ward and brought down the butt of his gun, the two blows being simul taneous, and took effect. - The stock of the rifle was shattered upoo the bronzed skull, and the edge of the tomahawk Was broken against the barrel of the piece, after cutting two fingers from Morgan's left hand. Without any delay, the r^? man reached down to draw his knife, when I Morgan, with a view of preventing lt, grappled and threw 1dm to the ground, i Here a terrific struggle took place. In which none but nature's weapons were used. Morgan lu his day Was a skill ful pugilist ?nd Wre?tl?t-, and for d brief while he was master of the sit-, untibh; b?t fais waning strength soon gave awajr tfa? advantage, and the Indian rolled him underneath. The red mah had been guilty bf some thievery before reaching this spot, for he wore a woman's apron tied around his waist He had tied lt on with great care, so that it was not torn away, although it got slewed around once or twice during the struggle. The Indian planted one knee on the breast of Morgau, and then let out a series of yells, which were heard at the house, nearly n mile distant Having given vent to his feelings in that fash* ion, he renched for the knife at his" girdle. And in doing so, he received a warn ing against the sirl of' thievery. The knife was sb much confined by the apron-string that he was perplexed. White tli? Indian was tugging awk wardly at it, Morgah got one bf his dusky fingers between his teeth and blt like a vise. The yells of exultation were now changed to roars of pain, and the Ind ian tried desperately to jerk the finger from' its torturing imprisonment, while at the same time he continued vaguely grasping for his knife. Convinced that this weapon must finally decide the contest. Morgan made equally desper ate efforts to obtain it, and It thus happened that -Jjoth clutched lt at the same time, the white man by the handle and the r?d ode by the blade; Morgan* feeling th? knife slowly slip ping frbm his grasp under the pull bf his adversary, shut down harder with his teeth Upon the finger. The Indian gave a spasmodic gasp; the knife was dexterously twitched from his hand, which was severely cut, and both ad versaries sprang tb their feet. Morgan, however, had secured the knife. That now being the only weap on between them, he made the best use of lt. The first blow struck a bone and accomplished nothing, but tho second was a disastrous one, and the Indian sagged heavily downward. The pioneer fell with him, and fol; lowed up the blow, until the Indian was effectually finished. Morgan was so exhausted that when he staggered to his feet he could scarcely stand. As soon as he regained enough strength he started for home, hurrying as fast as possible. His family were Im measurably relieved to see him alive, even though wounded; for the pant ing children had brought the terrible tale with them, and the sound of the rifle-reports apprised them of the fight under way. Although Morgan lived several miles from the settlement, yet he had a few neighbors dwelling nearer by. When his fingers were dressed, he and some members of the family started out in different directions, until all the neighbors were roused and gath ered at his house. It was then found that nearly a dozen were on hand, and they set out at once for thc scene of the struggle. Reaching the saplings where the Indians made their first stand, they discovered the first lying dead, killed by the shot of Morgau, fired from be hind the walnut tree; but the other, much to their astonishment, had vanished. Making their way to the spot where the final struggle took place the set tlers saw evidences of Its frightful character. The ground was stamped and torn, and blood was scattered all around. "Here ls the trail," said one, point ing a little to one side; "and it doesn't look aa if there'll be any trouble In following lt" There could be no difficulty indeed, for the green sward was marked too plainly with crimson, and the men walked along over the trail until lt led them to a fallen tree-top, where the miserable Indian had dragged himself. He was endeavoring to dress the would with the stolen apron about his waist As the men came up, he extended his hand, and said In broken English: "How do, broder-how do, broder!" Eut the settlers were In no senti mental mood, and, conceiving the In dian to be mortally wounded, they did that which they would have done had he been uninjured-put him beyond all possibility of further suffering or harm.-Saturday Night. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Life is more than a living. Righteousness usually cures rags. Comforters do not make reformers. The falling leaves enrich the living plant. What we can is the measure of what we ought. The plea of consistency often means cowardice. A '-ompeteut pilot may he a sad wreck in himself. The love of truth is the only way to the light of truth. There is no harm in the tongue wheu work keeps pace with word. Mix all your grief with gratitude and it will taste of the latter. ? The man who gets on in life ls the one who knows wheu to stand fast. Every man deceives himself more successfully than he deceives others. It is always easier to weep over the wanderer than to keep him at home. The great man han greatness in him before the occasion brings it out -Ram's Horn. After the Battle. Miles away from succor, near the road, lay a British Tommy, with glis tening eyes and burning fever, his head proped up on a deserted sand hill, and the hot sun of noonday pour ing into his upturned face. '"They told me, sir, the wagons 'ud pick me up, but I hain't seeu no wagons, sir." "Yes, I feel bad; I've mortal pains, sir, in my back and head." Poor fel low, he had no water and no food; not that the latter mattered much. for he was too far gone to eat. We left him water, and cheered him up a little with the hope that wagons would pass by. All night long, alone on the empty veldt saturated with the heavy dews and chilled to the marrow with biting winds of dark ness, and now under the scorching sun of day. He did not know if they would find him all alone, so far away, and yet he answered, uncomplain ingly: "Yes, sir! I'm glad of that, sir!" -William Dinwlddie, in Harper's Weekly. The Extent of Hi?

When economy must be combintd with good cooking, beef sweetbreads are used instead of calves and tte most epicurean member of the family will never know the diff?re?. Sweetbreads with tomatoes is perl?s the greatest favorite aud is nJR, thus: Strain a pint of cooked" toma toes (canned answer well) through a course sieve, thicken with a table spoonful and a half each of flour and butter blended together, cook, stirring carefully, until very thick, then add three each of peppercorns and cloves, a bay leaf or chopped parsley, a tea spoonful of good sauce and enough burned sugar caramel) to give a rich, clear color. Parboil two pairs of sweetbreads, and when cold break up into small bits, rejecting skin and gristle, stir Into the cooked tomato, J which has been allowed,to cool, turn into a pint puddiug dish and bake for 40 minutes covered. Remove cover,; spread over with stale breadcrumbs, and dots of butter and brown for a few moments on the top shelf of a hot oven. If the oven ls in use cook in double boiler and use only to brown as above. The first slow cooking is important, as it takes time to blend the sauce properly with the sweetbreads. These sweetbreads are also delicious creamed thus: Prepare as above, add pepper and salt to taste. Put a tea-, spoonful of butter in ? saucepan, melt .ithout browning, stir in a table >onful of sifted flour; now add, stlr . constantly, half a pint of hot milk c tter still, cream; when this boflp st the sweetbreads and cook for flv ??utes In the double boiler stir ring 'casionally. Serve In shells dr to xv../ and make the sweetbreads gb further use cases of puff paste. To vary again, mix with mushrooms, chopped iine, before cooking in double boiler. Household Hints. Lamps are not so detrimental to house plants as gas. Apples supply the highest nerve and muscle food, but do not give stay. Following the English fashion, crisp, tender celery stalks are often nowadays handed around with cream cheese and crackers at dinner just be fore the coffee is served. For custards, five eggs .and as many tablespoonfuls of sugar to a quart of milk is the general rule. Heat the milk and turn upon the beaten eggs and sugar, stirring constantly. To skim a sauce the expert cook will draw the saucepan to the side of the fire to stop the boiling, and add a teaspoonful of cold water, which promptly causes the grease to rise. A simple way to give a timely touch to the service of an ice at a home din-, ner is to use frozen custard, taking out the cream in big rounded spoon; fuis, and putting them in nests of whipped cream. A good polish for furniture is made with half a pint each of vinegar, spirits of wiue, linseed oil and tur pentine. Mix together in a bottle and shake well. Apply it to the furniture with a piece of oM flannel and polish with a soft, dry duster. Gilded picture frames may be cleaned by applying alcohol very light ly with a camel's hair brush. Or still another method makes use of the white of an egg. Beat the egg whites ever so little and apply it with cither a soft cloth or a camel's hair brush.

THE WOMEN OP CHINA. - Remarkable Instances of Their Devotion to Husbands or Relations. Woman's influence in China is great er than is commonly supposed. Rec ords of the Flowery Kingdom are full of examples of women famous for their learning, heroism and high prin ciple. Sometimes women achieve ab solute power over the household, for there is a popular saying, "She eats rice with her husband," which is used to describe the ryle of the female tyrant. The most astonishing instance of feminine power to-day ls, of course, the career of the Empress Dowager. As an instance of the Empress Dow ager's power, it may be recalled that she deposed her strongest vizier, Prince Kung in 1S85 by a mere decree in the Pekin Gazette because "he over rated his importance." In common with all other nations, the women bf China represent the most fervent religious element They are said to support enthusiastically the Boxera' movement and to be light ing with passion to help rid the coun try, of the missionaries. That the wo men of China do not lack courage is proved by the fact that they some times seek suicide as relief from un happy marriages and uncongenial husbands would frequently bc mur dered were lt not for special punish ments, "ignominious and slow," de vised for all women who attempt homicide. The mere existence of this law proves the necessity for lt. Again, not long ago fifteen young girls of Canton threw themselves into thc river to escape from marrying the -husbands chosen for them. Two other recent examples prove the devotion of the Chinese women of high degree. A daughter of the Chinese Minister to London, Kwo-Sung-Taou, was married at the age of 17. When her husband died she tried to commit suicide out of grief, and would eat nothing but gold leaf, seeking there by to induce death. It failed to poi son her, and she then starved to death. Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Kwo, a sister of the Marquis Tseng, tried to follow her husband to the land of spirits, but falling in her attempt at suicide she finally took compassion on her chil dren, agreed to live and managed her father-in-law's property while he was in London. Li Hung Chang penned a memorial to the Dragon Throne, re , questing that these two women should receive a sign of imperial approval. A Prominent Physician, Dr. C. I. S. Cawthon, of Andalussin, Ala., writes: "J ?n* Tetterine to be superior to any remedy known to me for the cure of Eczema and other stub born forms of skin diseases." If there were only many others as honestas Dr. C. how much mankind would be blessed by this truly wonderful anti dote for all itching emptions. 50c. a box at druggists or by mail from J. T.

The new Japanese stamps issued in commemoration of the recent marriage of the Prince Imperial are now reach ing this country. In the oval frame of the stamp is a picture of the Jap anese marriage table, which takes the place of the Christian altar on such occasions. The table ls decorated with bamboo, stalks and plum twigs and blossoms, and at each corner rises a spray of pine. The pine and the bam boo being evergreens, represent that in which there is neither variability nor shadow of turning; the plum, on the other hand, stands for that which buds, blossoms and fruits for the good of man.

Scandinavian literature abounds with these prettr taies. Even our Indians had their say, in like man ner about these things.
