sonri River and Leavenworth and North

made with the Hannibal and st. Joseph,
North Missouri and FIT. Scott Roads, giving

Brad-AWIs IneffeetuaI.

The buffaloes found in the telegraph
poles of the overland line a new
source of delight on the treeless prairie
the novelty of having something to
scratch against. But it was expen-
sive scratching for the telegraph COM
pany; and there, indeed, was the rub,
for the bisons shook down miles of
wire daily. A bright idea struck some
body to send tC st. Louis and Chicago
for all the brad-avls that could be
purchased, and these were driven in
to the poles with a view to wound the
animals and check their rubbing pro-
pensity. Never was a greater mis-
take. The buffaloes were delighted.
For the first time they came to the
stTateh they were sure of a sensation
in their thick black hides that thrill
ed them from horn to tail. They
would go fifteen miles to find brad
awl. They fought huge battles
around the poles containing them,
and the victor would would proudly
climb the mountainous heap of rump
and hump of the fallen, and scratch
himself into bliss until the brad-awl
broke or pole came down. There has
been no demand for brad-awls from
the Kansas region since the first in
voice

Diseases Cured by Diet.

Chronic diseases in many cases can
be cured by diet. DR.. Bellows gives
instances which are of exceeding in
terest, y gentleman of sixty-four
who wore q truss twenty-five years
for inguinal hernia, was advised to
discontinue extra carbonaceOus food,
and has recovered in two years' time
so as to dispense with the use of the
truss. By taking less carbOnaceOus
or heating or relaxing food, and eat
ing more heterogeneous or muscle and
strengthening food, tone was restor-
ed, the tendons were drawn out, and
the bowels retained. A Boston ply
sician, whose father and brother died
of heart disease few years since, be-
came so affected also that he was un-
able to attend to his practice and went
from city to city consulting physici-
ans, but found no relief. DR.. Bellows
ascertained that he was an excessive
cheese eater, as were his father and
brothers. On reducing the daily
quantity of cheese about one-half, he
began to recover and is now well.
This was, of course, not a ease of or
ganic disease. DR.. Bellows diagnosis
was this: Cheese being heterogeneous,
the excessive quantity eaten daily
produced excessive tone and tension
of the muscular system, and the heart
being muscular organ, the excess of
tone and tension was most clearly
manifested upon it. A gentleman Of
scrofulOus tendency, who had an open
abcess for eight or ten years, abstain
ed from extra carbon and partOok of
food rich in nitrogen and phosphorus,
and the abcess began to heal immedi-
ately, and in q few weeks ceased to
discharge. A gentleman of gouty en-
largement of the great toe joints,
which required boots of extra width
to enable him TO walk, adopted natur-
al food exclusively, and in few
months could wear boots Of natural
size

Who Became Insane z

Reports Of Lunatic Asylums are
some instructive reading. For in
stance, the popular notion that the
life of the farmer is most conducive
to the mental stability is dispelled by
the statistics of lunatic esylums in
general. In the Michigan asylum
the farming class predominates over
all classes, and taking the asylums Of
the country together, it appears that
more than one-fourth of ali the luna
tics of the country are farmers and
merchants. With the farmer the
cause unquestionably is too much
work, too little recreation, and habit
ual violation of the laws OF health
frequently the laws OF cleanliness.
Speaking of the farmers wife, says q
writer: Her seant ablutions are per-
formed in haste; she has little time
to spend on her person, and none in
which to read. Night finds her
weary with much doing. She goes to
her bed tired out, to be kept awake
half the night, perhaps by fretful
babe. From January to December
her only recreation is going to
ehureh-it may be every Sunday, it
may be twice q month. Is there any
wonder she becomes an inmate Of a
lunatie asylum? This is not only the
case with the wives of small farmers,
but those who have added acre to acre,
grudge money spent for household
labor.

petl His faithful sergeant had fol-
lowed him; both, as soon as they had
alighted, plying their sabres upon the
enemy inside!
At that moment sounded the recall
bugle of the orderly accompanying
SeOtt's aid-de-camp, and the Ameri-
can dragons, trained to the signal,
pulled short up outside.
1t was a terrible predicament.
Alone within the intrenehment, sur
rounded by a score of assailants,
Kearuey and his sergeant bad no
other alternative but retreat; and
wheeling right about, both headed
their horses to releap the ditch. The
gallant grays carried them across, the
sergeant safe; but the best cavalry
officer in the American army, receiy-
ed shot in his left arm, that caused
him instantaneously to let go his
bride rein.
1t pained me to see it hanging loose,
as he and his squadron filed past,
going back along the Acapulco road.
But the cheer that saluted his return
was far more sympathetic, and not
less enthusiastic, than that sent after
I bim in his impetuOus charge.

The California papers are full of
notes of travel to White Pine, the
new silver discovery. Here is an
extract: "At one station, the party
halted fcT a square meal. There was
tent, and in it a huge kettle Of
coffee and a camp Oveu. After wait
ing a few minutes, the landlord came
to the door and snapped out, Room
for FOUR Our informant went in
with three other men, and they kEelt
around a fiat box, which the hotel
keeper had turned down on the
ground. On the top were four basins
of strong coffee, and by each dirty
tin was a dirty black biscuit, and an
egg. The coffee and eggs were good,
and the biscuits were good on the
outside, that is, the eater had to
choose between two evils-dirt over
the top crust, dough under it. Each
loaf was like cream cake, perfectly
soft inside. The hungry men tore off
the top crust, and. after blowing,
scraping and rubbing it to remove the
alluvial deposits, put it down with
gUstO and torrents of strong coffee.
The inside masses Of dough were left
by each mans basin. When the men
bad finished their meal, and while
they were yet kneeling, their host
put his SCOT bGgrimed and greasy
hand over the box, and spoke again.
-Four dollars He was paid. Plump
went the silver into his pouchy
pocket, and pop went the four masses
of dough back into the oven. As
soon as q new crust was baked over
them, eggs cooked, and the basins
were refilled with coffee, four more
hungry men knelt down, ate off the
crust, rejected the rest Of the dough
ni, for another T baking, ak and paid /. their heir
calculated that one more stage load Of
customers would finish the biscuit,
and put the landlord TO the trouble Of
kneeding a new batch"
