How They Train Sheep Dogs in
rf California.

The Rev. c. A. Babb,in one of his let
ters from California, tells of what an old
shepherd told him about the way they
train the famous shepherd dogs in
Southern California. He says you may
go over the plains and hills there for
miles, and see thousands of sheep but
not man to wa.ch them. Around each
flock or band, say, thousand sheep, are
half a dozen dogs, ofa peculiar breed of
dogs, whose progenitors were imported
from the sheep pastures of the old world
These dogs have inherited talent tor
keeping sheep;but the shepherds do not
depend wholly on that. They cultivate
it in this way: "When lamb is born,
it is taken away from the mother sheep
before she has seen it, and puppy put
In its place. The sheep suckles the pup
py and learns to love it. When the pup
py grows old enough to eat meat it is
fed in the morning and sent out with
the sheep. 1t stays with them because
it is accustomed to be with its neither,
but it cannot feed with them. As they
get full the dog gets hungry. AT length
impatient to return where it hopes to
get another peice of meat, it begins to
worry and tease its mother and finally
starts her toward home ;the other sheep
follow, and thus the whole flock is
brought in. If the dog brings the sheep
home too soon, or comes without them,
he gets no supper. or is punished in
some way. Hence he soon learns to
come at the right time, and to see to it
that none Of his charge are left behind.
These animals are trained by taking ad-
vantage of their instincts and appe-
tites. Tf.r-e 5anEl -lE--s.a

Old Shoes.
MARY KYLE DALLAS.

You probably think if you look very
sharply at an old shoe when you throw
it away, you will know it again if it
ever comes back to ysu. But that does
not at all follow. One of these days you
may button your dress with an old pair
Of slippers, comb your hair with boot
or grasp cast off gaiter while at your
dinner. You don't see how this can be.
Well, we'll tell you. Old shoes are turn
ed to account by manufacturers in the
following manner: They are cut into
very small pieces, and kept for coup
lie of days in chloride of sulphur. The
effect OF this is to make the leather hard
and brittle. Next the material is with
draw from the action of the chloride of
sulphur, washed with water and dried.
When thoroughly dry it is ground to
powder, and mixed with some sub
stance like glue or gum, that causes
it to adhere together. 1t is then pressed
into molds and shaped into buttons,
combs, knife-handles, etc. So you see
how it may come to pass that you will
comb your hair with boot, and fasten
your clothes with a slipper.

The Baby.
From the New York Ledger.l

From the New York Ledger1
When baby comes into household, !,
it is only little shapeless thing, with
tiny doubled fists that move themselves
about at nothing, and an appetite dis
proportionately large in comparison
with its other qualities.
Yes, it comes as sort of a monarch
that helpless little handful, land it begins
to reign forthwith
Its voice-not exactly the voice of the
turtle, either-being heard in the land,
all other sounds are forgotten.
t 1t matters not who has no dinner SO
that he has his, nor who is tired so that
he enjoys himself. Ordinary occupa-
tions cease, and group gathers about
the cradle to see him put his fist in his
mouth. A small fringe of hair on his
head is more beautiful in the eyes of
the household than the floating locks
Of any golden blonde on earth; and
while some adult is quietly advised to
have his aching wisdom-tooth pulled
out, and not bother any more about it,
the family push pell-mell to the cradle
side,to see that wonderful thing -baby's
first tooth, peeping through it's little
gums.
King baby do you know anything
about all this? If you did, you might
look forward very SADLY. In after life
there will be no such alteration for you.
Words of wisdom will fall unnoticed
from your lips then, though when you
have learned to say "blai blai" the
household now goes into ecstacies.
Your little natural kicks and wrig-
giles, that are so charming, are nothing
to the hard work that you will do with
out "thank you'' from anyone. Your
sleeping, eating, and smiling will in
terest no one but yourself when you are
a man. 1t is well that you do not know
it. But now you are a king, and, in
truth, a home is made happy by such a
little monarch. Reign on. am one of
your subjects,and 1 pity anyone so stern
and cold that he does not bow a little
before that Grand Llama, the Baby of
the House. s ...

Food Medicine.

Dr.Hall relates the case of man who
was cured of his biliousness by going to
bed without his supper and drinkin' free
ly of lemonade. Every morning says the
the Doctor this patient arose with a
wonderful sence ofrest and refreshment
and feeling as though the blood had
been literally washed .cleansed and cool
by the lemonade and fast. His theory
is that food can be used as a remedy for
many diseases successfully. As an ex-
ample, he cures splitting of the blood by
the use Of salt t;epilepsy by watermelons
kidney affections by celery ;posion, ,olive
or sweet oil; erysipelas, pounded cram
berries applied to the part affected; hy-
drophobia, onions, ETC., So the way to
keep in good health is really to know
what to eat-net to know what medi-
cines to take.

How Indians Escape their Pur-
surers.

During the early part of the flight
every precaution is adopted to prevent
leaving heavy trail, or one easily to
be followed to this end, instead of NOV
ing as is customary, in single file, there
by leaving a clearly defined path, each
warrior moves independently of his fell
lows, until all danger from pursuit is
safely passed, when the party falls into
single file, and, with the chief at the
head, moves along in almost unbroken
silence. If during an attack upon the
frontier settlements the Indians should
encounter unexpected and successful
resistance, necessitating a premature
withdrawal and flight on their part, they
still resort to stratagem in order to Sc
cure their safety. In accordance with a
plan previously formed and understood
by the party, and specially provided
for an emergency, the war party finding
themselves about to encounter success
full resistance on the part Of the from
tiersmen beat hasty retreat; but in
stead of taking their flight in q SINGLE
direction and in one party, thereby leav-
ing an unmistakable clue for their pur-
suers, the entire party breaks up into
numerous smaller bands,each apparent
ly fleeing in an Independent direction, a
few of the best mounted usually falling
behind to attract the attention Of the
pursuers and give time to those of the
party who are burdened with prisoners
and captured stock to make good their
escape. In such an emergency as this,
a rendezvous for the entire party has
been previously fixed upon. Its loca-
ton is usually upon or near some water
course or prominent landmark, distant
perhaps thirty or forty miles; thither
all smaller parties direct their course,
each by separate and usually cireui-
tous., Should either of these smaller
parties find themselves closely pursued,
Or trail being followed and all efforts
to throw the pursuers off prove unavail-
ing, they relinquish the plan of uniting
with the others at the established rem
devious, as that would imperil the salty
of their comrades, and select new route
leading neither in the direction of the |
rendezvous or Of the village, in order
not only to elude but to mislead their |
pursuers. Then ensues long and tire
some flight, until, having worn out or
outwitted their pursuers, of whose move
ments they keep themselves informed
and they make their way in safety to
the village. At the latter, lookouts are
constantly kept on some prominent hill
to watch the coming of the absent war;
riors and give notice of their approach.
A war party returning from success
full raid into the ssttlements,and bring
ing with them prisoners and captured
stock, is an event of the greatest impor-
lance to every occupant of the village.
Having arrived within few miles ofthe
village, and feeling safe from pursuit, 1.-The
chief in command of the war party
causes signal smoke to be sent up from
high point along the line of march, well
knowing that watchful eyes near the
village are on the alert and will not fail
to observe the signal and understand its
meaning.-General Custer, in GALAXY for
December.

Advantages of Being a Wo-

She can say what she pleases without
being knocked down for it. She can
take nap after dinner, while her hus-
band goes to worEn She can go into the
street without being asked to stand
"treat" at every saloon. She can stay
at home in time of war and get married
again if her husband is killed. Sheeau
wear corsets if too thick, and other fix
ing if too thin. She can get divorced
from her husband whenever she sees a
man she likes better. She can get her
husband in debt all over,until he warns
the public not to trust her on his ac-
count. But all these advantages are
balanced by the fact that she can't sing
bass, go sparkling, ride straddle,o or climb
a tree with any dsgree Of propriety.

Plants as Doctors.

In addition to the pleasure that may
be derived from horticulture, the sani-
tary value of flowers and plants is a
feature of the subject so important as
to call for special mention. 1t was
known many years ago that ozone is
one of the forms in which oxygen ex-
lists in the air, and that it possesses ex-
traordinary powers as an oxident, dis
infectant and deodorizer.
Now, one of the most important OF
late discoveries in chemistry is that
made by Professor Mauegazza, of Paris,
to the effect that ozone is generated in
immense quantities by all plants and
flowers possessing green leaves and ar
omatic odors. Hyaeinth, mignonette,
heliotrope, lemon, mint, lavender, mar
cissus, cherry, laurel, and the like, all
throw off ozone largely on exposure to
the suns rays; and so powerful is this
great atmospheric purifier, that it is the
belief of chemists that whole districts
can be redeemed from the deadly ma
laria which now infests them by SIM
ply covering them with aromatic vege-
tation. The bearing of this upon flow
er culture in our large cities is also i'm
portant.
Experiments have proved that the air
of cities contains less ozone than that of
the surrounding country, and the thick
ly inhabited parts of cities less than the
more sparsely built, or than the parks
and open squares. Plants and flowers
and green trees can alone restore the
balance; so that every little flower-pot
is not merely thing of beauty, while
it lasts, but has a direct and beneficial
influence upon the health of the neigh
borhood in which it is found. Surely,
it is a beautiful provision of nature that
which is at once the most
dainty of occupation and most delight
full of amusements should be intimate
ly bound up with the solution of prob
lens so important as the health of our
cities and the redemption Of fever-in-
fected districts in the country.-Apple-
toms Journal.

THE FoURTH.-The Odd Fellows celebra-
ton at Frenchtown, on the 4th, drew out very
large crowd Some four or five lodges from
surrounding towns participated, and they, to-
gether with Company G, of this city, made a
very good display in the street parade. Capt.
Wm II. Slater, of Washington, ID. c., acted
as Marshal assisted by Messrs G. II. Slater
and w. II. Stahlor. After passing through
the principal streets, the procession proceeded
to the grove, where after prayer, an excellent
address was delivered by Hugh Z. Warford,
Esq, on the principles of Odd Fellowship
The exercises were then adjourned for din
ner, of which a large number of persons par
took. In the afternoon addresses were deliv-
cred by John II. Horn, Esq. of this city, and
F. s. Mills, Esq, of Trenton. Mr.. Horns
address was well written but too hurriedly
read to be effective, he being desirous of get
ting through in time for the train. Mr. Mills
oration we did not hear, but are told that il
was one of his best efforts. 1t is calculated
that there were from five to six thousand peo-
to large numbers who remained in the town.
Magnolia Lodge, o. 0 F., of Frenchtown,
deserves credit for getting up so pleasant a
celebration.
We are under obligations to Mr.. c. S. Join
er, and DR.. /. Cooper of the reception CON-
mittee, for attentions at their hands.
