WHEN old Squire Crane was first el-
evated TO the dignity of Justice of the
Peace, down in Southwestern Mis-
souri,, he knew less of law and legal
forms than he did about killing "bars ="
1t was my fortune to be a witness Of
the first marriage ceremony the old
fellow ever undertook. The young
couple stood up in the Squire's Office,
and the happy bridegroom desired
the functionary to "propel"-to which
impatient request the Justice acceded,
by inquiring.
Miss Susan Roots, do you love
that ar man? :"
"Nothin' shorter!' responded Miss
Roots, with a subducd laugh.
"And you, John kennon. do you
allow TO take Sue for better and
worser?"
"Sartin as shootin', Squire" earn
estly responded the enamored John,
"chuckinn Sue under the chin.
"Then you both, individually and
collectively, do promise to love, hon.
or, and obey each other, world with
out end p
A satisfactory reply was given.
'If that ar be the case" continued
the magistrate, "know all men by
these presents, that this ere twain
aforesaid is hereby made bone of one
bone, and flesh of one flesh; and, fu-.
ther1nore, may tie Lord hare mercy
on their souls! Ament'
left the Office with the conviction
strongly impressed upon my mind
that the Squire, although not particu,
larly posted up in the marriage ritual
had very good general idea of legal
forms and ceremonies.

The following is said to be q sure
test of u horses age; After horse
is nine years old a wrinkle comes
over the eyelid, at the upper corner
of the lower lid, and every year there
after he has one well-defined wrinkle
for each, year of his age over nine.
If, for instance, horse has three
wrinkles, he is twelve years old.
Add the number of wrinkles to nine,

An Early Rising Fallacy.

In olden times children were early
taught that the instant they woke in the
morning they must bounce out of bed,
not waiting for a moments considera-
ton until they were safely landed on
the floor. Some wide-awake children,
whose eyes naturally opened with the
coming dawn, could easily accomplish
this feat but alas for the poor little
creatures who found it nearly impossible
to shake off the drowsiness that per-
vaded their entire systems In a pitt
full state of semi-sleep they dragged
themselves from bed and tried to dress.
Those who retain vivid remembrances
of such experiences of childhood will
be gratified to know that DIR. Hall says
that up to eighteen years every child
should be allowed to rest in bed, after
sleep is over, until they feel as if they
had rather get up than not that it is a
very great mistake for persons, old or
young especially children and feeble
or sedentary persons-to bounce out of
bed the moment they wake up that
fifteen OF twenty minutes spent in grad
ually waking up, after the eyes are
opened, and in turning over and stretch
ing the limbs, do as much good as sound
sleep, because the operations set the
blood in motion by degrees, tending to
equalize the circulation; for during
sleep the blood tends to stagnatiOn, the
heart beats feebly and slowly, and any
shock to the system sending the blood
in overwhelming quantities to the heart
is the greatest absurdity.

But little is known in this country of
terra Gotta, which abroad enters so
largely into ornamental architecture.
In its manufacture, clay, flint, glass,
and fossils containing phosphate of lime
arc powdered and mixed with water into
paste, which is then ground and
beaten until all the air bubbles are ex-
PEELED. It is then modelled directly by
the artist and burned, having first been
glazed and colored to suit the taste.
The material TINS formed is both cheap
and durable. Neither heat, cold, nor
moisture affects it. And there is this
further advantage in its use, that it can
be nodded by the artist as if it were SO
much clay whereas stone must be cut
by the hand of an intervening workman.
There seems to be no good reason why
terra Gotta should not come into general
use in this country for building mate
rial, and it enters largely into parts OF
the elegant Albert memorial hall, as
! also Of the South Kensington museum.
American architects have SO far had a
prejudice against it, which it is hoped
will soon yield before enlightenment as
| to its many admirable qualities.

How Indians Escape their Pursuers.

During the early part of the fight
every precaution is adopted to prevent
leaving a heavy trail, or one easily to
be followed; to this end, instead of
moving, as is customary, in single file,
thereby leaving a clearly defined path,
each warrior moves independently of
his fellows, until all danger from pur-
falls into single file, and, with the chief
at their head, moves along in almost
unbroken silence. If during an attack
upon the frontier settlements the In
dians should encounter unexpected and
successful resistance, necessltGt1ng a
premature withdrawal and flight op
their part, they still resort to stratagem
in order to secure THEN safety. In ac-
cordance with plan previously formed
and understood by each member of the
party, and specially provided for an
emergency, the war party finding them
selves about to encounter successful re-
sistance of the part of the frontiersmen
beat a hasty retreat but instead of
taking their fight in a single direction
and in one party, thereby leaving an
unmistakable clue for their pursuers,
the entire party breaks up into smaller
bands, each apparently fleeing in an
independent direction, few of the best
mounted usually falling behind to at
tract 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 rendezvous
for the entire party has been previously
fixed upon. Its location 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 a circuitous route.
Should either of these smaller parties
find themselves closely pursued, or
their trail being followed and all efforts
to throw the pursuers off prove un-
availing, they relinquish their plan of
uniting with the others at the estab-
Hshed rendezvous, as that would i'm
peril the safety of their comrades, and
select a 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 en-
sues long and tiresome flight, until,
having worn out or outwitted their pur-
suers, of whose movements they keep
themselves thoroughly informed, they
make their way in safety to the vii
lage. At the latter outlooks are con-
stantly kept on some prominent hill to
watch the coming of the absent warriors
and give notice of their approach. A
war party returning from a successful
raid into the settlements, and bringing
with them prisoners and captured
stock, is an event of the greatest i'm
portance to every occupant of the vii
1age. Having arrived within a few
miles of the village, and feeling safe
from all danger from pursuit, the chief
in command of the war party causes a
signal smoke to be sent up from some
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
it's meaning.-Ge1a. Custer, in GALAXY

PEOPLE who are at loss as to how
many to invite when they want to give

Three for an argument; for walking, four;
For social pleasure, five for fun, a score"

Silk in America.

Proof of the healthful growth of silk
culture and manufacture in the United
States is given in the following brief
citation from an elaborate article in the
New York Times {: Since the home
manufacture of silk got firm footing,
the importation of the article has fallen
off, and in the nine months completed
of 1873 the importations of silk have
been much less than In the correspond
ing nine months of 1871 and 1872. For
instance, in 1871 the quantity of inn
ported silk entered for consumption
amounted in value to $23, 1884, 153, and
for warehousing Sc, 760, 233. giving a
total of $50, ga, 1856. In 1872 the total
was s31. .O12, COS, and forthe correspond
ing months of this year it is reduced to
800, 761, ,919, or 1882, ,568 less than
1871, and So, $50, 100 less than in 1872.
The total dry goods imports for 1873 of
wool, cotton, flax, silk and those COM
ing under the denomination miscellane-
GUS, are $40, ,977, 1896 less than in 1871
and $19, ,558, 210 less than in 1872. 1t
will be thus seen that the decrease
of silk importation represents one
third of the decrease in the
dry goods importations. Now, with
this falling off in imports of silk, the
looms of the country are at work and
the demands of consumers are steadily
met, while there is no increased cost to
the consumer. The silk trade o1
America is, in truth, at present an es-
tablished fact. Within the past ten
years it has quadrupled itself. 1t now
gives employment to more hands thar
the silk trade of France, and has shown
a progress which passes beyond that Of
England or any of the other European

A CURE.-To the unfortunate victim
of drunkenness we recommend the fols
lowing cure: A mixture made up as fol-
lows, and taken in quantities equal to
an ordinary dram, and as often as the
desire for strong drink returns, will
cure the worst case of drunkenness:
Sulphate of iron, five grains; pepper
mint water, eleven drachms; spirits of
nutmeg, one drachm. This preparation
acts as tonic and stimulant, and parti-
ally supplies the place of the accus-
toned liquor, and prevents the absolute
physical and moral prostration that fol
lows from a sudden breaking off from
the use of stimulating drinks. 1t is to
be taken in quantities equal to an ordi-
nary dram, and as often as the desire of
q dram returns.

SOUTH CARo1NA.-A correspondent
draws melancholy picture of the de-
cadence of South Carolina. He esti-
mates that over 80 per cent. of the
farmers have lost money since the war,
and mentions one 3,O0O-acre tract of
land that has been sold four times under
the Sheriff's hammer since 1865. Be-
fore the war, he says, the taxable prop
erty of South Carolina was valued at
about $48S, 100000 in 1870 it had
fallen to $84, 900, 900, and the decrease
has been steadily progressing up to the
present time but the taxation before
the war was only little over $4OO, 600
annually, while the taxation in 1870 was
about 50, 100, 900, yet the State taxation
debt has increased from $4,000, 900 to
something between $16,OO0,O00 and
! $40, 900, 900.

THE DOCTORS LAST SHOT.

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Brown were
having very comfortable afternoon to-
gether. Mrs. Smith, WHO was an in
valid, or thought herself one, which is
just as bad, was reclining in an easy

Yes, Mrs. Brown, I consider it very

mine was left an orphan on the cold
charity of the world, and as I was the

attention, and / couldn't expect my own
girls, poor dears, to be fussing around
their sick mother all the time. I want
them to enjoy themselves while they
can. This poor thing needed a home,
and give it to her at once. l said
'Of course, child, come right here and
live with us. You can make yourself
useful, no doubt, and it'll all be right.

about it one day as if she expected t.
be paid for her work, but I told her w
couldn't think of hiring our own BLOOD
relations to work for us. I told her t,
