Bat CanOn.---InaccessibI Cliff Houses
and Deserted PueblOs.

WE were Oft at noon, after a light
lunch, and soon came in sight of the first
cliff house. 1t was a mere stone hut,
some fifteen hundred feet below the sum
nit but one glance served to disprove
many of the theories advanced about
rope ladders and the like. 1t could not
have been reached thus, for the cliff over
hung considerably both above and below
it. Indeed, rope dropped from the
brow of the cliff above would have swung
over the cliff IA hundred feet further out
than the ledge on which the house stood.
As near as | could Judge at the distance
the ledge was fifty feet wide, and the
house some twenty feet square. Evidently
the Aztec who boarded there did not
go to bed by means of a rope ladder
NV guide was now all life and ANNA
everything of note on the cliffs as we
walked our horses slowly down
the sandy stream. He seemed to
take as much interest in the
ette-h0gans C'cliff-houses') as I did. An
hour more brought us to a regular ham
let; the ruins of considerab BILE village
were on the bottom of the canon by the
foot of the cliff, and about IA hundred feet
straight above them ten or dozen houses
in perfect preservation, standing all to-
gether on "A ledge "a hundred feet wide and
completely inaccessible. Above the vii
lage the cliff was perpendicular for hun
drcd feet or more, then gradually swclled
outwardly till it extended considerably
over the houses, leaving them thus actu-
ally in great crevice in the rock.
Here was a wonder. Ny Navaioe ran
about with the activity of cat, and in
several places managed to climb up TWEEN
ty feet so, then the smooth wall cut off
further progress. Hunting along the
rock he found and called my attention to

the thought that Goldie still remained.
When he and Dick, now friends, went to
see him, he also was on the top of the
water, on his side, still and lustreless.
The boys were inconsolable all day
There was nothing left now but Snaks,
and he was SO thoroughly frightened, that

coral.

THE BOY THAT La UGH.S.

BY GEORGE COOPER.
know funny little boy,
The happiest ever born,
His face il like beam of joy,
Although his clothes are torn.
/ saw him tumble on his nose,
And waited for groan;
But how he laughed! do You suppose
He struck his funny bone?
There's sunshine in each word he speaks,
His laugh is something grand,
Its nipples overrun his cheeks,
Like waves on snowy sand.
He laughs the moment he awakes,
And till the ta,2av is done;
The school-room for Joke he takes,
His lessons are but fun.
No matter how the day may go,
You cannot make him cry;
Ec's worth a dozen boys | know,
Who pout and NOPE and sigh.

The First Carpet.

Twas once very much amused at an
anecdote an old preacher told of himself.
1t occurred some sixty or seventy years
ago. He had been raised in the back
woods and knew but little of the ways of
the world. Having been admitted into
Conference he was sent to a circuit, and
upon certain occasion was invited to
dine with a wealthy man.
Carpets were not near so common then
as they are now. Most people had their
floors secured very clean, and nice, white
sand sprinkled over them. Sometimes
an extra touch was given the floor by
sprinKling black sand about in streaks
and figures over the white
This wealthy man with whom the
young preacher was to dine, however,
had a carpet, but it was not large enough
to cover the floor, SO there was naked
place all round the room about the width
of a chair.
1t was the first carpet the preacher
had ever seen, and he thought it would
not do to step on it, so he took n seat
near the wall and drew his feet around on
each side of his chair so us not to touch
it.
After while a servant came in, and
spreading down a piece of linen in the
middle of the room, placed the dining
table ON it and began to set it.
The preacher was greatly troubled he
did not know how he was to get from
the naked place where he sat to the piece
of linen on which the table stood. III
knew he could easily jump it if he had a
fair chance; but how was he to manage
with the chair between his feet he did
not know But then the thing must be
done some way SO when dinner was an
nounced he arose from his chair, and
summoning all his energies he made Il
desperate leap, and to his great JOY made
the trip in safety.-Pdcffc -HeHt0ttst

SYMPATHY.


BY n. Z. WARNER
MY little daughter on my knee,
Looks up and crows delightfully."-;
Her only language to express
Her perfect joy and happiness,
But well know the look and tone
Love has an ut'rance of its own.
NY little daughter on my knee,
With wee, sad face looks up to me,
She has no word to speak her woe,
But never words could move me so;
/ read the trouble in her eyes,
And with her griefs sympathize.
Thus, though her often changing mood,
By me be little understood,
SO trivial the thing appears,
That moves her easy smiles or tears
In all her gladness am glad,
In all her sadness l am sad.
And 80 despite my halting speech,
My meanings have not failed to reach
The all-wise heart of Him who knows
All human joys. all human woes,
And evermore % tenderly
My Father watches over me.

THE Auburn On. W Idcertiser gives an
account of "A big lift made for liberty by
n convict at the State Prison. He was
confined in an upper cell, next to the roof,
which is composed of slabs of heavy stone,
covered by solid grouting and masonry
two feet thick Having resolved to raise
this roof, he extemporized two jack screws
of great power. Being employed in the
axle shop he procured such tools as Woula
answer his purpose. The large nuts used
on the ends of the aNles of express wagons
served his purpose admirably. All things
being ready on a recent Sunday morning
he commenced the work of raising the
roof He had raised a slab of stone and
the superintendent mass of grouting
about six inhes, when he was discovered
and an end put to further operations.

Corn Fodder.

Mr.. Alexander Reed, of Lock Haven,
Clinton county, reports that his practice is
to cut up his corn as late as he can, and
avoid frost. After husking, the stacks are
bound and carefully shocked till cured
then slowed in the barn. They are pre-
pared for feed as follows Each morning
and evening the quantity needed for one
feeding is cut with power cutter" put
in tight box with mixture of meal bran
sprinkled in boiling water is then poured
on. and the box closed with tight lid so
rs TO shut out both heat and steam. That
steamed at night is warm when fed in the
morning, and that in the morning when
fed in the afternoon. Mr.. Reed states that,
prepared in this way the cows eat all the
butts, ton will produce more and much
better milk for butter than a ton of the
best hay prepared in the same way.

Shall We Grind Grain for Cows !?

A correspondent says: eff cow, in
chewing her cud, throws up all she eats
and chews it over again, L do not see where
the advantage is in getting corn ground at
all to feed Illuminating animals The
proof of that hasty-pudding is in the eat
ing of the corn by the COW. Feed her on
whole corn, and you will find that even in
twice chewing she does but Indifferent
work, and much of the grain in her food
is passed in whole kernels. Grind her
corn for her and smaller quantity will
nourish her as well. More hogs can be
fattened after the same number fed on
meal. Lastly, try the comparative exper-
iment (under exactly the same circum-
stances) and you will satisfy yourself.

Digging Irish Potatoes.

1t has been suggested that in order to
prevent sprouting Irish potatoes should be
dug as early in September as possible; that
the dry weather will make them come out
clean and that they will keep as well dug
then as later. 1t is very desirable to have
potatoes dug in dry weather, but whoever
digs them early in September, before the
advent of cool weather, will run great risk
of losing them. They viii not keep in
warm weather They may be spread out,
or they may be put in cellar or in banks ;
still nothing so far as we know will be able
to arrest the inevitable rot that seizes upon
them like a plague and utterly destroys
them. This rot will attack the skin, pene-
trate rapidly to the core and soon convert
the entire potato into mushy mass which
spreading over those in contact, will hasten
the destruction of the whole mass. This
rot when it once sets in can with difficulty
be stoppek.
A few years ago we raised a large guam
tity of.the Michigan white sprout, and as
the weather was very hot they were in
jured greatly by the heat of the sun. Wish
ing to arrest this damage we had a large
proportion of the field dug and the potatoes
spread out i'm an airy, cool room. In a
very few days they began to rot, when We
had them transferred TO cool, well ven
tillated cellar. But the rot continued, and
out of several hundred bushels we succeed
ed in keeping about ten. A portion of the
field was not dug until October, and the
potatoes, except in rocky spots, came out
sound and sweet
Cool weather is positively necessary to
keep Irish potatoes. The farmers in the
Southern States are unable to keep them,
owing to the warm spells which occur du-
ring the winter months. They can be
kept neither in the cellar nor in banks.
They might be kept by putting them up
with dirt SO that the potatoes would not
touch, hut contact with each other almost
invariably produces rot during warm
weather. Don't dig Irish potatoes until
frost You may Keep them, but the
chances are greatly against their preserva.
ton. Better by far to have sprouted pota
toes than none at all. They will at worst
do for planting. The very best place fol
them IS in the ridge where they have
grown.

M VINO CATALINA.

n
The announcement that has been so gladly re-
ceived throughout the country that Importatons
have again commenced of the Ell Vino Catalina
or Browns Wine Tonic, by an American Com
pany, with every facility for supplying the trade
is matter of no small importance, and will be
hailed with Joy by thousands that are seeking q
Pure and lnvigorating Tonic: and also those
who need pure, pleasant and refreshing stmu-
liant. will find in the FL Vino Catalina what they
want. # will be remembered that importations
were made in 1866 OF these noted Bitters, long
celebrated for their medical qualities but in con-
sequence of the high duty then demanded by
this Government importations ceased to the re-
greet Of thousands that had learned its value. 1t
is tie oldest Tonic in the World. Natures ton
ir drawn from the Catalina Grape Of the Tropics.
1t is the purest, best and most invigorating of
all tonics, and If importationS continue at the
rate now started it will soon take its place in
every family in this as well as the Old Countries.
Its merits alone will make it a household article.
And we would advise everybody that needs a
pure tonic and safe stimulant TO try at least one
bottle of Ell Vino Catalina. and then decide
whether in the future they will use the tonic pre-
pared from the delicious Catalina Grape of sun
ny Spain with Caisaya and the Spies of Ceylo
or Bitters made of common whskey and bitter
field herbs. Ell Vino Catalina is invaluable in
weakness and debility. 1t relieves morning lam
guor and gives freshness to both mind and body
1t sharpens the appetite and is not fol lowed by
any unpleasant reaction so common to whiskey
bitters.
1t cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion Costiveness
Bilious Derangement, Collie, Cramps, Flatulcnce
Diarrhea, Dysentery, Nausea, Morning Sickness
Anemia, Heart Disease, Nervous Irritability
Liver Complaints, for which it is used through
out all hot climates with great success. Diseas-
es of the Kidney and bladder, Skin Diseases, all
Eruptions, either caused by other diseases or by
impurity of the blood. Dependency, Rheuma-
tism, Govt, Gravel and Whooping Cough, for
which it is famous, as Tonic in Consumption
it has no superior, as thousands believe them
selves cured by it, yet we do net claim that it
will cure Consumption, but if used freely in time
we are sure it will prevent it. 1t is so agreeable
to the stomach of the weak and delicate. Ele-
