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

AGRICULTURE.
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.

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

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

paper in center forming a half-square,
then told again into a q uarter-square,

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

and draw it tharoughi the hand from
the center to the outer edge. When It

Prom the enquiries conducted by Prof.

it appears that short-sightedness is
rarely or never born with those subject

itrains sustained by the eye during

increases in proportion to the demand

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.
