A special from Pine Ridge Agency, 8. D., says: “It is evident from the testimony of officers and men that the 7th cav alry barely escaped the tragic fate of Custer in the battle of White Clay Creek, The troops bad passed the Catholic mission and were dismount ed in a big valley one and a half miles wide just oeyond the school. At the end of this valley is a narrow canon, not over seventy-five feet wide and three hundred yards long, opening into a small circular park. It was the object of the Indians to trap them into this small valley. “The soldiers were getting ready to make a rush on foot for the top of the hill, when the cry arose that they were surrounded. Advancing now in one direction, now in another on eith er side of the valley, they found them selves opposed each time by two to three thousand warriors, and twenty minutes more a tragedy would have gone to the world when the untiring 9th rode in as they rode before at the time of the Meeker massacre, attack ing furiously the rear of the savages and scattering them in every direc tion. “Before the enemy could rally from their fright the boys in blue withdrew slowly and sullenly to Pine Ridge. The enemy drove horses and cattle in every direction. “While the blizzard made the old men. women and children to suffer, it will have little effect on the bucks and warriors. A party of Indian scouts visiting the scene of Monday’s battle found nine Indians who were wounded in the fight still alive. Two of them had been taken to a log hut near by and were being cared for by a squaw who had remained behind. The oth er seven, all of whom were found ly ing in gullies remote from the battle field, had survived the blizzard with out any attention of any kind. Two Tyere bucks and the other five were squaws. There was scarcely enough life left in any of the party to pay the scouts for bringing them in, but they did so and they are now with the oth ers in the Episcopal Church. In addition to the adults found, two tiny Indian babes, neither of them over three months old, were found alive. Each was beside the dead body of its mother. They were well wrap ped up, but how they ever survived the fearful weather of the last forty eight hours seems a miracle. The in fants were brought to the agency and found friends In the wives of the In dian scouts. Of the thirty-five woun ded Indians brought in after battle, nearly all of whom were squaws and children, not one has as yet died, yet many of them ace badly wounded with bullets, The rear guard of the party of eiiari- -doiug scouts that went out in their rch for wplmded Indians were to exchange several shots with^ ostOee. -.After the * ' The Power of Money. What an influence for good or evil is exerted by the proper or improper use of money. It seems to be the first essential of modern life. Sad indeed is the lot of that man or that woman without money and without friends. Especially in case of sickness is the need of money felt most pressingly, and yet even the rich with all their money fall into a state of poor health and die, whereas if their money was richly expended and the proper reme dies applied they might regain health and strength. Z. A. Clark, Atlanta, Ga., says “I spent four hundred and eighty dollars in gold to cure me of terrible blood poison that affected my limbs and nose aud body, with running ulcers. One month’s treatment of B B B healed the ulcers, restored mv appe tite, strengthened my kidneys and ad ded 21 pounds to weight.” Still, in spite of this and much oth er testimony there are many who re fuse to try the remedy, seeming to prefer to pay large fees to physicians, or visit distant springs in vain hopes of recovery. The great truth howev er, ever shines brightly and that is, that no one who ever gave B B B (Bo tanic Blood Balm) a trial ever found disappointment therein. O. H. Rudolph, Talladega, Fla., writes: I had blood disease for six years, but nothing beuefitted me, al though I paid two hundred and fifty dollars tor treatment. At last I tried B B B and found it a quick aud cheap blood purifier. January Eclectic. The January issue of the Eclectic Magazine contains a steel engravingof Alesaudria and a fine table of con tents. Professor Huxley contributes a paper on “Pre-Historic Man,” which students will take pleasure in reading. Mr. H. H. Johnston discus ses the “Development of Tropical Africa under British Auspices,” a subject of timely interest. “Ouida” talks of Modern Florence, and Mrs Lynn Linton has something to say about modern tendencies under the title of “Modern Topsy-Turveydom.” The article on “Customs,” by Sir Herbert Maxwell, is entertaining and suggestive. The anonymous article, “Deep-Sea-Fish,” is really by that most entertaining writer, Grant Al len. Another popular scientific arti cle on Dew” is by J. G. McPherson, F. R. S. E., and a very interesting paper on “The Science of Old Ago,” by Dr. Schofield, tells us how life may be greatly prolonged by simple means within the reach of all. “Dr. Koch’s Consumption cure,” is ably discussed by Dr. Edward Berdoe. There are other articles of superior in terest, long aqd short, including the ending of Tolstoi’s story, “Work while ye have the Light,” Money in the Country.

Thoughts Appropriate to the Season. iTanure made in the winter should, where it ta possible* be spread as it is made on the laud where it is to be used, says the agriculturist, It is a fact that cannot be controverted, and has been abundantly proved both by reason and practice that manure is never worth more than it is the day it is made. Nothing is added to it, but usually much is lost from it by lapse of time. Except on very sloping ground the manure is safe from all danger of loss, and is put where it will do the most good when it is spread on the laud direct from the stable. There is no more handling of it, and if it is rained upon ail that is dissolved from it goes into the soil just when it is wanted^ It is a con venience and an economy to haul out the manure aud spread it as soon as a wagon load accumulates. For a number of years we have urged farmers and gardeners to make their compost right in the furrows, handling the stable manure and lot scrapings but one time. For the gar den and for certain special piants, like celery and cauliflower, it is well enough to make up the finer quality of manure into compost before apply ing to the soil, but for ordinary use'it is much more convenient and eco nomical to haul out the rough manure aud scatter it along in the furrows, and then sprinkle over it the mineral elements that are necessary to make up the compost—some form of potash and phosphate. This can be done any time during the winter, and soon afterward the manure can be listed on. Unless the land is very rolling the loss will be inappreciably small, even if the manure is left uncovered. If the rows are run perfectly horizontal there will be little loss. Most of the manure made on southern farms is of very inferior quality, and uot worth enough to warrant several handlings that many give it in making comp*»st under shelter that can be better made - directly in the furrows. The w*ork can be accomplished at a time when other work is not pressing, and one can take the time to do it just right. If the furrows have been previously laid off the manures can be hauled out and applied even while the soil is fro zen and covered afterward when the soil has thawed and become dry. Many believe that commercial ferti lizers are only stimulants, says Prof. Jordan. Nothing can be more ab surd than such a notion. Such ferti lizers furnish true plant food, just as surely as does the best yard manure ever hauled into the field. There are some obvious reasons why this statement can be confident ly made: 1. Tiie compounds in farm manures that feed plants are the same com pounds that commercial fertilizers furnish to the soil. Does it makeauy difference to the plant whether it gets phosphate of iime or potash from com mercial fertilizer or from stable ma nure? 2. Plants have been grown to per fection in water solutions and in the 1 ft barren quartz sand by the us« of
