A Squaw's Su1etae. About the lt of November ladt 014 kaneache, the Ute chief, accompanio by a number of Apache squaws anc Ohildren, encamped on the ranch o Thomas U. Boggs, on the Trampere Creek, in New Mexico. As the smiall pox has been killing hundreds oj Indians and .Mexicans in that region, 31r. Boggs felt suspicious that there might be some cases among this band, but on being questioned the Indlana denied the pr esence of the disease among them. In about a week after the arival of the party, a squaw, the mother of two ehildron, was taken with the disease. This caused the Indians to leave suddenly for the hills, leaving the squaws to take care of themselves. About nine days afterwards the sick woman died, and her mother (grand mother to the remaining child) took the little one with her and dled to the hills, leaving the dead squaw, tepee, robes and blankets and taking up her abode about hall a mile from Mr. Boggs' house. That gentleman had *the dead Equaw buried, and the tepee and other property remain where they wore left. 'he old squaw and the child were provided with food ly Airl. Boggs, and seemed perfectly happy. On the Wednesday following persons at 3lr. Iloggs' houso heard, as they supposed, the child making a nolse. Mr. Charles Boggs went to search for the squaw and child, and atter a long hunt succeeded In fluding a hut In the timber where they had been living. A horrible sight met his view on his arrival; the ofd woman lay dead and cold, covered witi blood. Sie had takeni half a pair of sheep-shears and driven it into her heart. The little child was sitting be side the dead squaw, crying and strlk lIg her with a stick, talking to her in the Indian language, and vainly en deavoring to make her get up. 'The old woman, however, was pa stawakening, and the little one's griefaemted luicon solable. All of the persoiis at. the house hastened to the scene itid sev eral of ttia enadeivored to coax the 0hid a1WILy 11roi the dead body of its granditiother, but without. success. T he little one could not understand that its naturl protector was beyond reidtering it atiy aid, and with brute instinct was loath to leave. AIr. Boggs kindly took the child and it then walked to his hioise. 'I lie little unifortuatte's eloulihig was covered with blood, and on stripping it, its new protectors found a deep gash directly over the lieart,whiere the old squaw had evident ly phinged the blade of the shears,with the Intention of taki Ing the little one's life as well its her ow n. The murderess had failed to etriko the child's heart, but it was thought, to be bleeding in terilly and it, Is probably dead by t hiis tine. There 'was no appeara.ee of inall-pt x about the dead woman or child, iai1d it is nIore tha111 probible tiat the squaw, heart-broken at thus belig deevrted, and ftarinig death by 11d1111-pox or starvation, put( an end to ber ticubles iii this world as above related.

To GAT A LAnOE YIELD OF RI0n MxIr.-If a large yield of rich milk is desired, give your cows, every day, water slightly salted, in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find if you have not tried this daily prac tice, that your cows will give 25 per cent more milk immediately under the effects of it, and will become so accus tomed to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water, unless very thirsty. Prof. J. W. Sanborn, Superintendent of the college farm, Hanover, N. H., reports ex perments in feeding cows, giving full details of weights of each kind of feed, of milk and butter yield, and the weightu.of the animals at the begin ning and end of each period. In sum ming up he says: "deal will make more milk than bran, I no longer lies itate to say. The change in the butter product Is remarkable; in changing from meal to bran there was a loss of 17-7 per cent in the butter-producing capacity of nilk ; in changing from bran to meal there was a gain in the butter-producing capacity of milk of 21-8 per cent.'' "The results in weigh Ing (he cows form an exception to pro vlous experiments, bran and iniddngs keeping weight better than meal in this experiment. Is it a chance restilts asks the professor, or is it due to well defined causes? I will not discuss it, he answers, but observe that it was not at the season of the year when a cow needs a carbonaceous food to maintain animal heat ; also the grass of our pas ture was brow ned ,and.iin differeit con dition from Juie grass or properly cit hay." How 'ro Ki Gimit SwEET.-An experienced elder muaker says; I haye been engaged in the manufac tire of cider and eider vinegar for many years, and have kept eider for two years Zo that whenl drawn at that, tinme it was bright, sparkling, sweet, and delici ons. The proeess is very simple. All the early f ruit should be made intovi negar. When the weather Is suileli eiiiy cool, say the middle of October, imake i) the niellow apples; put the cider in sweet liquor barrels, with a three gitarter inie tail) hole in the head of ie Darrel, about an inch and a half Ironii the chiie in a straight line froni the bung hole. Then place the cider inl a cool dry collar. After it is worked suillcien tly, w hich will probably, be in it week or less, draw It olf care fully, so as to not, disturb the sediient m.t the bottom, in perfectly clean bar reis and place back upon the skids as before. If the teinpelatAre of t(he eel liar is sutlliciently cool, it may require drawing agaiti liit nionth or so. then repeat, the process, and in a few days bung up the barrels. Then about the latter part of March draw again ,when, if properly ianaged before, there will be but, a very little sedlineit. Fill the barreis full, bung tight, and eidter can be kept sweet andi good for two years if thus treated. Ill-.DDINO FOR ZoexC.-It IS ecoilomny to give tie horse, cow and other stock housed through tlie winter,a good bed. it has nuih to do towiids saviig feed ani1d kteping stock in a thriving condi tion, to say nothitig of the obligations nan is under to provide well fur thu diuinb aninials for him given to have "'doiininion over'" Better to give stock coniortable beds through the usuial season of iiecessry shelter and stat ulig, as they can be provided with very little tiilluiluy or expense. There is usually refiie lodder, straw or other Ilatter, wi icl can thus be utilized and matie into n.an ie by this prcless. A large atlinuint of the excrenments, by this practice, which would otherwise be lost, can be saved. Fine sand nmakts a good bedding material and a good dre'ssing. for aniy heavy soil, Saw dust is anotherc article that enit be used advantageously for the sante pun. Po0s0.

Nowv Ptsin humr:Tx-Cows-t palysto Ieed cows giving nui lk liberally, But ter is high, and new Is thie timne to feed profitably, E~very cow should be m'ide to produlce as muntch butter as8 possible. Whfenever butter is twenty cents per pounld or more, there is muoney in the dairy businiess, and the mant who feieds muost liberally and judiciously will make the greatest prolit. Meal, bothi cotton Seed and corn, roots, pumnpkins and fodder corn, shouild all comne in for a share of attention ats profitable food for dairy cows. W hatever kinds of food are used, the cows should have all they can profikably. turn into niilk. Many iinen feel that they cannot afford to buy gratin for leeding to cows at this season of the year, Let thieni take a diifeent view, and ask thieuselves if they can aillord not to buy grain to feed cows ii hemi btutter is as hgah its it is at present.

V_ DOMESTIO. How TO COOK llOMINY.-Every cook will promise you'she can do this, but It is quite safe to say that riot one In fifty will. Instead, people live to old age in this our famous- -corn-growing region withoUt having ever tasted well cooked hointny. It is usually st4rted well enough, but stirred so often and vigorously tbat-the grains, instead of standing out snowy and well done,yet round a d separate, are mingled in one gluey mass. Having once seen and tasted the former you will never be reconciled to the latter. Try to pre p are It in this way: A quart of ground iominyIs a sulilcient quantity to pre pare well in any ordiuary cooking utensil; it Is letter to soak Iq.a while before cookifg; put over the fire and cover well with water; do not allow it to boil rapidly, and if the fire is a suill cicnt one for baking It Is better to keep a lid beneath it. It cannot be hurried, and here is where many tall in Its pre paration. After the grains swell and begin to soften on no accotnt stir it. The wator put in at first should be. suflicient to finish it, but if there has been too little add more, carefully,that it may be Just enough anid not too much, thus making your almost per feet dish sloppy. Do not salt it until just before taking from the stove. Early salting will make It dark. It It could be cooked in a double vessel, the outer one containing boiling water, so much the better for both the honiny and cook. Such vessels save the care of constant watching. Care and ex perience must always go together to ward the making of a perfectly cooked dish, and nothing gives better satis faction. FMCNcn WAY OF WAsHiNo CLoTrns. -A system of washing clothes has lately been lutroluved in some French towns which Is worthy of special nen tion, its economy is so great as to re duce the cost. This is the process: Two pounds of soap are reduced with a lit tIe water to a pulp, which having been slightly heated. is cooled in ten gallons of water, to which Is added one spoon ful of turpentine oil and two of 11111 non Ia ; then the mixture is agitated. The water is kept at a temperature which may be borne by the hand. In this solution the white clcthes are left for two hours before washing them with soap, taking care in the meantime to cover the tuib. The solution may be warmed again and used once more, but it will be iaecessary to add halft a spoonful of turpentine oil and another spoonful of anmmonia. Once washed with soap, the clothes are put in hot. water, and the blue Is applied. This proceos, it is ohiyoub, 3aves much time and fuel, while It gives to the clothes a whiteness much superior to that ob tained by any other process, and the destructive use of the washboard is not n ecessary to clean the clothes from im purities. Tni BUST TO MAxx 'BUTTEIED TOAST. -is to have a sniall bowl of boiling water on the range, in which put a good bit of butter. As you draw each plieee of toast from the fork dip It in the hot water urntil it is thoroughly moist, then place it. in a plate, keeping it warm until you have linished toast ing all the slices. Dip each onie as it comes smoking hot from the toaster. When all are done, if you have any of the hot water and melted butter re maining In the bowl pour it over the pile of toast. Toast that is allowed to get colt) before being buttered is tough and indigestibre. When newly but tecred and kept hot in the oven, it is' too oily, bitt the bowl of just enough: hot water and butter keeps it fresh and tender. Fauian (.iaexN IN CUiliRY.-Clit uip a chicken into small pieces, melt some butter in a saucepan, and put into It an onion slhred very fine, fry unltil quite crisp,sprinkle the fowl well with curry3 powder, adld some salt, and fry until thoroughly cooked, tuirning the pieces frequently. Serve very hot, with the tri-ed omions on the top. Veal can be cut into cutlets and used in the same waly, except that after the pieces of v'eal are p~artIally fried, when they. begin to ba owni, put them into a stewpain with oiie paint of stock, sim mier very slowly, as veal requires mauchi cooking; garnish wih boiled i-icc in a separate dish. 'Tux uniiique paper lamp-shades so fashionable Just now can be made very easily. Fold a sheet of scarlet tissue paper in center forming a half-square, then told again into a q uarter-square, then into an eighth ; continue folding in this way as long as possible, always folding fromn the center. hlding the thick part iirmifly in one hand draw it through the other till the paper Is tho roughly creased ; then partly ianfold and draw it tharoughi the hand from the center to the outer edge. When It has beome well creased cut etough ftrom the center to allow of its slipping oveir the lamp shade. EvFRnroN TAFNY-Put one pound of powdered loaf sugar and one teacupful of water into a brass pan ; beat one quarter of a pound of butter to a cream, when the sugar is dissolved add the butterc, anad keep stirring the nmixture over the tIre until It sets when a little is pure ona buttered dish.

HUMOROUS. Soms faietious loafer in Baltimore perpetratei a curious sell on the public during the recent sesqui-centennial celebration. He attached to a demol ished window in a ship-chandlery es. tablishmemn on Thames street,a placard bearing th iriscription: "This win dow was 0 broken during the bom bardment cf frort Mcllenry In 1814." Tihe 0 on tiNo placard was a knot taken from a board, but was not particularly noticed by anybody, though hundreds nly gared upon the supposed bom bardnlient rollo, and one manl even broke off a little pi0e of glass to carry away. A GICNTLIMAN met h'.s little boy on the street and asked him how they were all-coming on at home. "First rate, Mamina has made a whole new shirt," "Tell mamma when I come I'll give her a nickel."

The New Miner's Lamp.-According ;o the London Telegraph, one of the Createst boons to miners, on the score )r safety, is the new miner's lamp, i n rhich the light of phosphoresoence is substituted for that of positive ignition. in this apparatus the interior of the screen is covered with a brightly lu nnous paint, and there is therefore, iothing In its construction or character iat can by any means become a source )f danger. Such a contrivance, if an iwering the capacity claimed for It, nust be of peculiar value, pecuniarily .onsidered, in preventing the destruc ioi of property by explosion. But the treat advantage of such a lamp over ;hose now In common use is its lusur ng against a peril from which the Davy lamp cannot protect the work nan. If that lamp be carried agal-nita 3urrent of air mixed with fire-damp, 'he explosive gas penetrates through 'he gauze and comes in actual contact with the flame, a catastrophe being the natural result of such contact; obvious ly, however, no risk of this sort could be involved in the use of a phospheres ient light by miners.

Prom the enquiries conducted by Prof. Lierinann Cohn, of Breslau, since 1865, it appears that short-sightedness is rarely or never born with those subject ,o It, and is almost always the result of itrains sustained by the eye during itudy in early youth. Myopia, as it is ailed, is seldom fou..d among pupils )f village schools, and its frequency increases in proportion to the demand i1ade upon the eye in higher schools id in colleges.

TARsonlO, N. 0., 1878. DR. H. R. STrBNs: Dear Bir .-I feel very grateful for what your valuable medicine, Vegotine, has done in my family. I wish to express my thanks by inform ing you of the wonderful cure of my son; also, to let you know that Vegetine is the best mcdl oine I ever saw for CInLLa, SHAKRs, FEVEn and Aous. My son was sick with measles in 1878, which left him with HiD-Joint disease. My son suffered a great deal of pain all of the time;-the ain was so great he did nothing Dut cry. The octors did not help him a particle, he could not lift his foot from the floor; he could not move without crutches. I read your advertisement in the "Louisville Courier-Journal," that Vege tine was a great Blood Purifier and Blood Food. I tried one bottle, which was a great benefit. lie kept on with the medicine. gradially gain Ing. He has tasken eighteen bottles in all, and he is comletely restored to health; walks with out crutches or cane. He is twenty years of age. I have a younger son, fifteen years of ago, whto is subject to CBILLS. Whenever he feels one coming on, he comes in, tAkes a dose of Vegetine, and that is the last of the Chill. Veg otine leaves no bad effect upon the system like most of the med eines recommended for Chills. I cheorfully recommend Vegetine for such com plaints. I think It is the greatest medicine In the world. Respectfully. MRS. J. W. LLOYD.
