dams are about as sharp on trade as
their white brothers:
With their whisky the Cheyennes
proceeded to the KiOWa village, exhibi-
ted their bottles, and dispensed smells
from uncorked bottles OF corn juice
giving judicious shake or two to the
bottles, that the aroma should be more
entirely appreciated by their friends the
HiO1OGS. The smells were freely taken,
and produced an uncommon desire to
know more of the Cheyennes; pipes
were produced and duly smoked; after
which the visitors announced their
Willingness TO trade. They had not
brought much whisky, as they did not
know that their brothers the Kiowas
would like to see it. The little which
they had with them was good, and
very strong; when the Kiowas
had tasted OF il they would see.' The
Cheyenne was liberal; he would give
so much for robe (holding up the bot
tie and marking with the thumb some
thing like half AMI Inch of the whisky.
But seeing that the KiOwaS were not
III hasIc to trade, the Cheyeunes would
smoke with tLeIn.' Meanwhile kind
ly-disposed bottle~holder was dispens-
ing smells of the whisky to a few
kiOwas who were loud in their an
uouncementS of the number or fine
robes which they possessed. This sec.
ond smoke was quickly finished, and
the Cheyenne exhibited the Quantum Of
fire. water, marking it as before by the
location OF the thumb on the bottle. A
general exclamation followed-the pc.
sltiOn of the thumb was to the KloWa's
eyes so very much higher on the bottle.
But Cheyenne had no more considera-
ton than New York landlord, if the
accommodation offered looked small
for the price. The trouble was with the
eyes of the Kiowa, which could not be
expected to see big like those of a Chey-
eune. Another smelling-time took
place. which produced an instantane'
Gus exhibition OF tin cups and robes on
the part OF the kiOwas. During the
pouring out of the promised grog the
position OF the thumb was regarded
with too close a scrutiny on the part of
the robe sellers to permit of any SHOW
ing up of the guage, and 1t is only JUS
tice to the bottle-handlers to say that
when they held up the bottle for exhi.
bition after each pour, no Indian could
detect any variation OF the line of the
whisky and the point indicated by the
position OF the gauging thnmb.

popular historian J. 8. G. Abbott. Its
Erection is in the best style of tho au-

Overthrow with pleasure. sThe Du-

article on tho preparation of
animal food for the table. The style of
flesh as it should be selected from the
market is first treated:
OK beef should be of fine grain or
ibre, the flesh or lean of bright red
color and firm; the fat white, and dis.
throughout tho lean; it should
not be yellow or semiffuid. If the meat
ia entirely lean 1t will be tough and lis
nutritive power low. Heifer beef is
close grained, but paler than the pre-
ceding; the fat is very white and the
bones are small; It's flavor and nutritive
power are inferior, and its value there
fore less. Bull beef is of a very dark
color. It does not contain much fat. is
tough, and has Il strong meat

Veal is 0ry If fresh. 1t should be
close grained. If the meat is most and
tabby, it is stale. Mutton should be of
= clear deep pink tint; finn and with a
liberal supply of fat. Fine wether
mutton may be recognized by the pres
ence of a small mass OF fat on the upper
part OF the leg. It is more nutEictous
han ordinary mutton, and the darker

Pork should be of a pale pink tint,
and the fat very firm. II it is soft or

It is semifluid the animal has probably.

II these signs are absent they are either
or stale.

Eugene Beusau chooses from tho
Ne" York journalists as the subject OF
this months review, Mr.. e. L. God

The article is an interesting one. Gen.

graphical sketch OF one of the greatest
military writers and soldiers of the

incidents OF Bonaparte's campaigns, in
