AN Iowa girl who read Cooper's novels to such an extent that she found it impossible 10 live without marrying an indian, found
 one last week that was not proud, and mar ried him, and went to his camp on the bank of the siy=.a stream where he trapped for muskrats. She only stayed one night and came home with black eye, and had to send out for a bottle of hair restorative. It seemed that the noble red man got drunk and punched her in the eye, while his old squaw went among her hair. This girl don't want any more Indian if she knows her heart.

Directions for Cooking and Keeping the
 Dufleld Ham.

To Rep.
 The hams must be taken out of the cask immediately on reaching their destination, and hung up in cool and airy room. If mould appears on the outside in hot, dump weather, have it brushed off allowed to remain long it injures the faror. With such care these hams, though niild, will keep for years.
 To Cool.
 Preparatory, dltrays eleaase the outside. If cld ond mOuldy on the surface, place the ham in scatdiag water for five minutes, then it is easily scraped and mashed eLeaa.
 To Broa
 Thin slices over quick coals--squeezing the juices out frequently on a dish for grdry while it is broiliug, and to prevent b.rn,a2- when the fat is nicely bTowRed on both sides, season with fresh butter, and season to your taste, and eat RED-HoT.
 To Boil.
 A aep ham put into boiling water, if old into cod water, twenty-four hours before boling-and use only water enough to corer them-and boil treRty minutes for every pound it weighs--adding water as required to keep it covered.
 To ROdst.
 After the ham Is boiled it should be al lowed to cool ntrty minutes in the water boiled in-which increases its juciness-this should be done even when not intended for roasting When skinned and nicely trimmed, basts the ham thickly with yolk of eog, and sprinkle over it ground crackers or fine bread crumb, and little powdered sugar-then place in , hot oven Mirty minutes or until br0tcRe6 nicely-then eat hot or cold you will fnt it. in the language of the papers, "The yer, poetry of pork."-N Y.

A Terrible Bore.

The Mcfarland trial furnished sensational reading matter for all the newspapers in the country for term of more than six months, until, finally, readers became so disgusted at the everlasting clamor that the success Of a few journals was seriously imperiled, and the matter was permitted to rest. But greater bore than the Mcfarland case is that of Laura D. Fair. All that was necessary tn have been said in this case might have been summed up in ten-line item yet we see, at every turn, among certain class of newspapers, long winded editorials, starting out with the mur- deress at the time she left the cradle, follow ing her through life-up to the hour at which she was found guilty of murder, and moral zing on her course at every turn.
 Give Madam Fair a rest, now, and try something which will be matter of news to the reader.
