Perhaps yoiulon't remembfr that [ item in last winter; s newspapers?a half I dozen lines or so?two families frozen in a Texas norther, horses, dogs and all, just I as they stood. I - That night we went into camp ten miles from home. There was a ravine and plenty of brush, and the horses were I ready to 'drop in their tracks, and that last ten miles was one of the things that couldn't he done. So we got our flre3 I made and our horses fed and sheltered as ? f well as we could, and put some heart into ourselves with buffalo steak and hot cof? fee, and the rest of them packed them? selves into the wagon. Some one had to stand guard and keep the fires going, and I took the contract. It wasn't a dark night. There was a goodish bit of a moon behind the clouds, and it made a gray kind of light over every? thing. We were at the bottom of a dry canyon that ran east and west, and the wind did not reach nit. It screeched and screamed over our heads, and through it all there was a kind of moaning roar, as if'we were at the bottom of a tide as deep as the stars are high. I got to thinking I about old times away back, of one Sun I day night just before we were married. I had gone east a little sooner than we ex I pected, and had to wait for her things to be finished. We went to churchy that night. A keen, crisp, still night it was, when the sleigh runners squeaked on the snow and the moonlight traced the shad? ows of the elm on the white ground as if they had been put. In black, drawing. The church was warm and bright and they hadn't taken down the Christmas greens I yet, so' the air was full of the smell of them ?that spicy, haunting smell, that seems as if it 'came somehow from a world before this. It was years since I had smelled it, and I sat and listened to the music and looked I at the people, with their comfortable clothing and faces that were cheerful, not I. worn and wrinkled with care and weather. Molly was an awfully pretty girl in thoso days; all pink and white like an apple - blossom, somehow. And fighting to keep awakebut there in the heart of a TCwnung prairie, I got to thinking about her as she was then and how she had changed. Skin I the color of tanned leather now, and that I wild, hungry look in ? her blue eyes, as if I they were always staring into the dark for something that frightened her. And both I her children dead, and not even a spray I of the pine she loved so, nor a breath of music; nothing; bat a dirt floor and log walls that did* all . that was expected of I them if' they kept the weather out. . Somebody hailed over the top of the bluff. "What camp5* that?" ":' "Kenyon and mates." . "I 'lowed it was"?scrambling down the sides of the gulch on his sure footed I mule?"you, Kenyon? News for you. A kid up to your ranch, ten days oM All hands doing well yesterday morning." The rest roused themselves, sleepily. I Ho had got off the trail, and seeing our |. smoke had Struck for it. We knew and he knew that the chances were that it saved his life; but he swallowed his cof? fee and smoked his pipe and turned in with the rest as if getting lost in a j norther was one of the things that hap? pened, of course, to every man. I Then I sat and thought a while, and finally I roused out Madison. "You take my turn," I said to him; I "I'm going home." "Not a brute that will travel." '.Til do my own traveling?on foot." "You'll .pass in your cht#ks before morning." I; "No, the wind is. at my back; no fords; I'll keep going;" and I went. , Went; half running, with the wind driving me on till I was ready to drop. I. Once I fell and lay there with the wind dragging and tearing at me till I began to grow sleepy, and then I had to get up and ? go ahead again. Perhaps you never tried crossing a I prairie at night without a trail to follow. It's a curious thing, one I cannot account for; one that makes you feel as if your body and all your senses were of no more I account than a spent' cartridge. It hap? pened to me that night, space and time seemed to get all mixed up together all at once racing along; it seemed to me that I had been keeping up that sort of thing for hours. I felt so adrift somehow?so hor [ ribly lost?as if r had slipped out of my-' self and. was out in space without a land I mark to measure anything by. I expect you'll have to try it yourself to know I what I mean. I had no watch; there was no way of knowing how much time had I gone. Of all the devils that can enter into a man uncertainty is the worst Every sort of a fancy came into my head. Perhaps I did not know the route as well .as 1 had thought. Perhaps I had even I passed the cabins and was going away from them with every step. I ought to have reached them In three hours at the utmost. It seemed to me that I had been hurling along for twice three hours. Once I tried, madly to fight back into tha wind. It was hopeless, worse than use* I less. I should drop with exhaustion in ? few minutes, and I must keep going. And then I found, burned grass under my feet. There had been a fire over the prairie. The ground was not cold yet. A new dread got hold of mo. . Who knew where it had gone or what hod stood in its track? I ran along screaming something ?praying or svreari ng?quite mad, I think, for n little, toi I fell again, and the jar brought me to my senses. ! I had gone over the edge of an old buf? falo run scooped deep by the rush of sum? mer rains. I lay still for a little while. I must have gone to sleep, or perhaps I | fainted away. Anyway, when I came to myself again the world was as still as the grave. The wind had gone down, as it will sometimes, suddenly and entirely. The silence was horrible. I got on my feet stiff and'benumbed. In all that gray, still, ghastly space there was nothing to tell east from west or north from south. I was lost on the big range. It was still enough, but the cold was I dangerous. I could not stop. I #mst move somewhere. I must make myself a purpose?a purpose to keep myself alive at least?till daylight came. I began walking; it did not matter in what direction. If only my strength held out till morning?strength to keep off that horrible drowsiness. I know I j stumbled heavily along. I was thinking about Molly and her baby; it all seemed like a dull dream. And then bells began to ring; deep and'] soft and far off. I stopped in my tracks to listen. It was the sound of bells, cer? tain, full and sweet; and I turned and went blindly on, following the sound as a I hound might follow a scent. All at once I saw a light. It wasn't a I star; there were no stars. And nobody lived on the big range, unless some I camper was traveling about, and travelers don't travel in the teeth* of a norther. And this light swung and waved, went out entirely for a second or two and then burned up again. And near or far I could not tell, only it was a light and it moved, and I followed it. And I could hear the bells all the time. Then, all at once, another one of Molly's Bible verses flashed into my head; some? thing about a "star in the east that went before them till it came and stood over the place where the young child lay." Well, I wasn't a wise man, or I shouldn't have got in such a fix. I don't think I am an irreverent kind of a fellow, either; a man could live with Molly many years and be that. Only I was looking for a young child too, and babies?little ones?always did seem to me near enough to heaven to make that story about the star reasonable enough. Anyway, there it wa3, meant for me or not, and I fol? lowed it. More than once I fell, but I always got up and went on. I was talking to myself part of the time, hearing my own voico and thinking it was some one else's. I lost my sense of time again, but kept on doggedly; and then, suddenly, tho light flashed brighter, whirled about in a wild sort of a way, and went out entirely. I gave a shout and ran forward. I thought I should die if I lost it. And there I was standing on a wide trail, with a sort of square dark shape standing up in the dimness before me, with light and voices coming out of the chinks, and somehow, there was the door, and my hand on the latch, and in another second ?oh! it was Molly?Molly with a lamp in her hand, bending over a feeding box mode into a cradle, with a great armful of hay and a white sheepskin for a cover, and Madison's wife kneeling on one side and Clayton's wife on the other, and be? yond, with the lights flashing in their great, wandering, shining eyes, a pair of astonished horses. And then there came a piping cry from the feeding trough, and I knaw I had found the baby. Burned out? Yes, sir. That was tho last thing; but they had had warning be? fore the fire came *' on them. Jim Clayton had taken the women anil struck across for the big road and they took the first Ehelter they came to, a stable that had been built in the days when all the California supplies went overland by mule train. When the wind fell he took the lantern and tried to find a cabin that used to stand somewhere near, and I had been following him for half an hour. Oh yes, I'm well fixed now; three thous? and head of cattle out on the Gunnison. And Molly spends her summers back home, and she and the babies bring back enough croup and catarrh and bronchitis sore throat to last them half the next ?wr>+or ?"Maw York Indeoendent. A Javanese Dreamer. . To transform men Into all sorts of be? ings, both vegetable and anima\, from sweet scented flowers to pigs and preda . tory animals, yeu even into rocks of salt, was a favorite pastime with all the di? vinities and magicians of old. But the transformation of a happy couple into a pair of cannon is something incompara? ble?reserved to the reigning divinity of the island of Java, in the East Indian archipelago. Setama was the wisest of the wise men of Java, and prime minister and governor at the same time, and his wife, Satomi, the most beautiful and most adorable of women and an invaluable helpmate in all her husband's onerous duties of government. Some night King Sari had a dream that the Javanese god had made him a present of a pair of the most beautiful cannons in the world. He called on his prime minis? ter and sent him off to find the cannon. The minister took his faithful wife with him, and they wandered for years without finding the cannon. At lost they went into a temple and prayed fervently to their god to let them find the promised cannon, as they could not return to the king with? out them. That same night Setama's son has a dream that he could find the cannon in the same temple where his parents had taken refage. He goes there, but sees no trace of either his parents or the cannon. At last ho goes to the couch where his parents had been sleeping and?lo and be? hold!?there are the two cannon, wrapped up in counterpanes like sleeping beauties. ' After that the cannon were set up as miracle workers in the temple!?the he cannon for the male population,'the she 1 ?cannon for the females.?De Amsterdam mer Weekblad. The "Machete" of Central America. I was in Nicaragua with Walker, and in other Central American countries, and can explain what the instrument or weapon (for it is both) really is. The machete Is the most prized and the most used of any implement. The native al? ways carries it with him wherever, when? ever and for whatever he goes. It is his weapon for defense against man and beast. It cuts his way through the dense jungles. It cuts the grass and chop of the green corn for his horse or mule. With it he kills and cuts up his hogs and beef, and with it he slices his meat and bread. It is his best and most reliable farming implement. It is a knife varying in length from eighteen to twenty-four Inches, and about two inches wide, taper? ing to a point. He uses a primitive plow sometimes, but the machete always. With it he clears the briers, the brush and the long grass, and with a sharp stick or this some machete he punches holes in the ground at Irregular distances, drops In his corn, covers it with his heel, and retires to the shade for kind nature to do the rest, or rather for nature to do the work and - himself to rest. As a weapon it is most formidable, and was much dreaded by our soldiers during the invasion of Mexico. There is a class of mounted scouts, armed with' machetes and known as Machateros, who are inuch dreaded in war.?Col. Lewis A. Clark in Globe-Democrat. Highland Vehicles. . Every vehicle in Scotland, especially In the highlands, is provided with a brake. No pony chaiso or village cart is without one, and to go down the smallest declivity without using the brake Is regarded as the height. If recklessness as to the dri? ver, and cruelty as to the horses. Its use on a four horse coach is plain enough, but why the pony chaise should have it is not so plain. The horses are trotted up the hill and walked down, and the American fashion of walking them up the hill and trotting them down is esteemed heterodox in the highest degree. The Scotch horses and ponies are strong and wiry, but like the English horses, they lack get up and go. They never teem to be in a hurry to be off, and indeed carry so much more flesh than American horses that it is no wonder they lack spirit. The oats'on which the horses in Scotland are so abundantly fed make them tough. A Scotch pony is probably the toughest thing there is upon the face Df the earth. A pony does not necessarily mean a miniature horse, for ponies are of all sizes, and some are really imposing, they are bo tall. Mules, there are none, . and donkeys aro rare.?Cor. New York Mail and Express. Fats as Tonics. Pats, especially those which are of easy digestion, like cod liver oil and sweet cream, are also essential to the well being of the nervous system. The peculiar substance?neurine?found in all nervous structures contains fat as an essential con? stituent. It is remarkable that most "nervous" individuals have a strong aver riion to fats as articles of diet. This is ex? tremely unfortunate, for the omission of fats and oils from the diet tends to not only continue the nervousness, but to in? crease the irritability and weakness. Cod. liver oil is a most valuable medicine in. such cases, because it is already partly digested by admixture with the bile se? creted by the liver of the fish, and thus rendered still more easy of absorption. The labor of digestion Is thus partly taken away from the tasks to be performed by the invalid. Of course, the fishy odor is objectionable at first, but this Is generally easily overcome by continuing its use for a short time. There are a few prepara? tions on the market in which oil of some kind has been partially digested by admix? ture with pancreatine. Emulsions thus made are palatable, but much more ex? pensive than the crude oil.?Globe-Dem? ocrat. The Dressing' of Storo Windows. I know of nothing that shows a greater diversity of taste than the dressing of store windows on Main street. Some seem possessed with the idea that it is ab? solutely necessary to get a sample of every article in the store and crowd every? thing into the window. Others throw two or three articles into a case, push it into a window and leave it there till it gets hidden from view by accumulations of dust. Others again dress their win? dows skillfully and then pile up and hang goods outside until no person can see what Is Inside. Some place a few things effectively arranged in the window and change them frequently, thereby giving passers by something new to see every time they pass. A well dressed window is the next best thing to a good newspaper advertisement, and its importance is rec? ognized by successful business men.? Buffalo News. . Peculiarities of Pronunciation. An observing Englishman who has been traveling in New England says that a genuine Massachusetts man can always bo detected by the marked way in which he makes two syllables of the word tun? nel. He might have added that you can often detect an Englishman by the marked way in which he makes one syllable out of that word.?New York Tribune Manufacture of Counterfeit Jewels. Artificial precious stones have become an important article of trade. The pro? ducts of some of the shops would almost deceive an expert, but the test of bard ness is still Infallible. The beautiful "French paste," from which imitation diamonds aro made, Is a kind of glass with a mixture of oxide of lead. The more of the latter the brighter the stone, but also the softer, and this is a serious defect. The imitation stones are now so perfectly made, and are so satisfactory to those who are not very particular, that their influence- begins to be felt in the market for reu", stones. By careful selection of the ingredients, and skill and manipulation, the luster, color, fire and water of the choicest stones are to the eyes of the layman fully repro? duced. There aro a few delicacies of color that cannot be perfectly given, for they depend on some undiscoverable pecu? liarities of molecular arrangement and not on chemical composition; but the per? sons who buy the stones know nothing of that. Yet Sldot, a French chemist, has nearly reproduced these peculiarities, in? cluding the dlchrolsm of the sapphire, with a composition of which the base is phosphate of lime. Two other French chemists, Fremy and Fell, have produced rubies and sapphires having the same composition with the genuine stones and nearly equal hardness.?Popular Science Monthly. AS AN ENGLISHMAN. THE EFFORTS YOUNG AMERICA MAKES TO POSE AS A--8R1T0N. A Long and Tedious Process of Prepara* tlon?The "English" Method of Speech. Oddities of Dress?A Distinctive Walk. The Eyeglass. There is a large number of young men in these free Btates whose chief object in life is to be taken for Englishmen. The youth who wants to pass as an Englishman is obliged to put himself through a long and tedious process of preparation. He usually commences with a study of the "English" method of speech. The first task is to learn how to talk "away down in the chest," and the phrase chosen to experiment upon is, in? variably, "By Jove." When he can say this with the proper accent he next ven? tures upon "You don't say so?" He then passes on to suoh sentences as "How awfully jolly. I cawn't believe it, you know," and so on. If you live in the same house with him you can hear him up to a late hour of the night repeating over and over such words as "dawnce," "cawn't," "pawth," "chawnce," "rathaw," "fathaw' and "aw." Sometimes he will allow his voice to slide up while he says "demmit." The word that you will hear him use oftenest is "awfully." He will tell you that the flower is "awfully nice," that the policeman is "awfully kwoss," that his tea is "awfully hot," and that Bolle Jones is "awfully jolly." He would almost die for shame should he make suoh a vulgar blunder as to say "pants." The word he uses is "trousers," "breeches," or "bags." He will teUybu confidentially, "I pwefew to say bags; it's awfully English; the best fellows all say It, you know." In this way does the young citizen proceed to Anglicize him Belf. But you can be English in more ways) than in speech. Dress offener proclaims the American Englishman than anything else. Any afternoon about this time of year you may see dozens of American Englishmen on Fifth avenue or In the neighborhood of the Hoffman house, the Brunswick, or Fifth Avenue hotel. They are pretty sure to be dressed in large pat? tern checks, to carry enormous canes, and to have their trousers turned np at the legs. A pair of trousers turned up at the legs is the most English sight that you can see. WITH TROUSERS TURNED UP. - I know a young American Englishman who runs to the window every morning on rising to see If he will have an oppor? tunity of turning his trousers legs up. II the day looks fine he comes from the window with a disappointed air and says, "Too bad, by Jove. R isn't going to wain afteh all." Once he has become a thorough Englishman, however, he will walk through Broadway the sunniest day hi the year with his trousers turned up. The walk of the American Englishman Is also very distinctive. It is not, strictly speaking, a walk at all, but a stride. The feet are kept well apart and the toes are turned slightly in as if the walker wore spurs. The left arm Is curved and Is permitted to swing but very little. The cane is carried perpendicularly and the point is brought upon the ground almost three feet in front of the walker. It is not good form to throw the chest too prominently forward, but you will notice a graceful droop of the shoulders. The single eye glass Is nearly an abso? lute necessity, and the American English? man uses it in public just as soon as he can get it into his eye without opening his mouth. Several young gentlemen of my acquaintance have seriously injured their eyes by using strong eye glasses when their sight was good. But injury to one's eye is a small penalty to pay for such a fashionable and attractive practice. "By jove, Chawley," said one young gentle? man, "I would wawthaw endangaw the total sight of one eye than suwwendaw the pwlvilege of weawing the glass. O its vewy English." But the pillow of the young swell is not without thorns, for his father is very often a blunt spoken, honest man whose gram? mar and pronunciation are none too good. "If fathaw would only altaw his speech a twifle I would give half my allowance. He would newaw, newaw pass for an Englishman." This is the sad wall of many a young gentleman in the city of New York and through this country.? George Salisbury in The Epoch. Industrial Uses of Oil of Birch. A Belgian inventor has devised a pro? cess for tanning textile fabrics which ren? ders them waterproof and at the same time, it is said, proof against decay, while their suppleness Is not .diminished and their weight not appreciably increased. Arguing from the high state of preserva? tion in which the bands which surround the heads of Egyptian mummies are found to this -day, and which are impregnated with a kind of resin, the Inventor had re? course to the substances extracted from birch bark, and which are now used to perfume Russia leather. When the fine white hark of the birch tree is distilled it yields a light oil, nearly a fourth part of which consists of the special phenol, or carbolic acid, which gives the well known odor to Russia leather. It is now found that the residue, or green tar, of the birch, which Is ob? tained from Kostroma, yields neither acid nor alkaloid, and forms, with alcohol, a solution of great fluidity, which, however, when once dried, is not acted upon by al? cohol. It is this substance which will unite with the most brilliant colors that are used by the inventor for treating text? ile fabrics.?American Register. Methods ot Beading Books. It is easy to read, yet no two men, who have made anytldng of themselves, ever read the same book in a similar way. Neander, the church historian, read a book carefully through, making notes on the margin. Dr. Johnson, on the contrary, used to dip into a book at random. He read enough to seize the leading ideas and then threw it aside. Daniel Webster began with the table of contents and only read such parts of the text as would give him new ideas or odd to his stock of knowledge.?Youth's Companion. An Old Roman Pen. At Acosta a Roman metal pen has been found. It is a bronze pen slit in exactly the same fashion as the present steel pen. The Dutch Invented a metal pen In 1717, but It was not until many years later that the hand-screw press, which made the first cheap steel pen, came into use.?Bos? ton Budget. _ The Meaning of a "Boom." Do not listen to the man who proposes to "boom" your business. An excessive "boom" means working at high pressure. The "margin" or "factor" of safety be? comes too small to withstand the strain and your "boom" becomes a burst bub? ble. * On the other hand, should the boom be carried out, a reaction is" sure to follow. The higher the "boom" the lower the "doom" will bo to which your business descends. "Booming" may well be com? pared with alcoholic stimulating. The latter will make things hum for a time, bnt the reaction tiurely comes, and things are equalized to i. dead level. Then and there are the "boomed" and the stimu? lated found wanting.

The splendid physical development of the Canary Islanders gives special interest to their peculiar food. Five-sixths of the inhabitants, according to Dr. C. F. Taylor, subsist almost exclusively upon a fine flour made by grinding roasted wheat, corn or barley. This is called goflo. Being already cooked, it requires no pre? paration for eating except mixing to any desired consistency with milk, soup or any suitable fluid. Goflo is delicious, whole? some, highly nutritious and very con? venient to use. For these reasons, and the important one that It seems to remove a tendency to acidity of the stomach, Dr. Taylor recommends tho addition of this food to our own already large variety.? Arkansaw Traveler. Kussia's Increasing Population. According to Gen. Strelbltskl, Russia, by the normal increase of her population, will In 1037 have a population of 150,000,000. As at present she has only seventeen persons to the square mile, she can carry the whole of this increase and then only have twenty-seven to the milo. Germany has now 80, Great Britain 119, and Belgium 201. The birth rate of Rus? sia is a far more formidable factor In inter? national politics than all the maneuverings of her generals in central Asia.?Boston Transcript. What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers Found?Incident in the His? tory of a Quiet Community.* The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet corn munity, secluded from the fret and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how? ever, for their strict honor and probity in business, i The Shakers believe that na? ture has a remedy for every dis? ease. A few have been found? the rest are as yet unknown* Many were discovered by acci? dent. Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. . Nervous Dyspepsia is a com? paratively new disease, growing out ol' '.conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervo m system. These two were formerly treated asusepa rate ailments, and it was left for the , clear-sighted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli? cation lies chiefly in the disord? ered and depraved functions of digestion, and nutrition. They reasoned thus:?"If wo can in? duce the stomach to do, its work, and stimulate the excre? tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat? ters which remain after the life giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall . have conquered Nervous Dys? pepsia and Nervous Exhaust? ion. And they were right Knowing the infallible power of Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) in less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in? curable?with perfect success I in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex? haustion is a peculiarly Ameri? can disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it? both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head? ache ; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau? seous eructations; this rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress? ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep; dis? gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris? ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; dull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipation; dry or rough skin; inability to fix the mind on any labor call? ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore? bodings and fears. All this terrible f*roup Shaker Extract (Seigel s Syrup) removes by its pos? itive, powerful, direct yet painless and gentle action irpon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life's fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body tiiron,vh the bowels, kid? neys and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned and feel by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf? ferer who had, perhaps, aband? oned all hope of ever seeing another well day. NOTICE.
