MANAGING a SQUEAK.-The expert
ence here recited is by no means new, as
many a sufferer will testify:
A man who draws the prize of squeak
ing boots from a shoe store always gets
them on Saturday, by the next day the
full power of the squeak is developed
He arrives at church at the opening of
long prayer, and is admitted by the
sexton with admonitory gestures of 81
lence. The first step inside the door is
followed by a sound like that of ripping
a clapboard from the side of the barn,
while all the ladies on the right side of
the aisle, tip their topknots to one side
and squint from their left eyes, those on
the other side reversing the order Bal
ancing painfully on his worst corn, he
makes more gradual effort, and is re-
warded by hearing the same harmonic
reverberance--likel linked sweetness, long
drawn out. Then he tries TO navigate on
the balls of his feet, and waddles along
on his heels. He clutches convulsively
at the side of the pews to tighten his
weight, knocks downa woman's parasol,
and gets all the deacons to raise their
bald heads, and scowling as they do the
rest of the week. So he determines to
mince the matter no more, trots along
fast, and reaches his pew with his under
garments turned to porous plasters, and
his face of color to match the saint
done in red glass in the principal win

by clasping him nightly around tho
body and crushing him frantically down
on himself, and it would then have been
a question of whose lungs could longest
endure the terrific pressure, but for tho
sudden appearance of an ally for the white
man. A yelp and rush sounded In the
bushes, and the Majors dog from camp
leapcd upon the scene and INSTANTLY
fastened his keen teeth in the nearest
shoulder Of his masters enemy. Una
kayaswah lost his grip under tbs new
attack, and was at the mercy of the
hunting knife in the next moment "Kar-

he cried. "Take off the dog. Brave
white man kill not great chief l sur
render" His conqueIor bound him
hand and foot with his buckskin suspend
ers, aud was humanely staunching the
blood from his wounds when the mission
ary's daughter came dashing back from
the station with two armed men for the
rescue. "As they looked at the stalwart
form and bloody visage of the savage"
SAID the victor, in his subsequent account,
"and at my own somewhat bruised and
sanguinary appearance, and lstend to
my narrative of the desperate struggle,
they gave vent to expressions in regard
to my strength and prowess which
| brought the tinge of pride to my cheeks.
As for the lovely girl whom it had been
my enviable fortune to rescue, she hon
ored me with regard for which / would
gladly have dared greater perils, and told
Of my delverance of her with tears of
gratitude streaming down her cheeks.'
In fine keeping with the romantic ele-
ments of this affair was the marriage of
the Major and lady some three months
later. Not for the chivalric sentiment
thus illustrated, however is this story re-
told, but in celebration of type of In
dian character which ia at least above the
cowardice Of treacherous Individual assas-
snation. Unakayaswah Ultimately atoned
with his lite for some of his savagery in
Pauldng Co, but in the encounter just
described he fought as became a great
warrior. 1t is worth while to note, also,
that in this same hand to hand conflict
the white man owed his victory chiefly
to the physical training of civilization,
as at critical points of the struggle,
knowledge of boxing, skill in giving the
wrestler's ''fall," and finally, even his
civilized utilization of canine fidelity for
help in such time of need, gave him SUI
periority without which the battle might
have ended very differently. Barbarous
bravery fights ever at a disadvantage
with educated skill, and degenerates nat
urally, perhaps, into ModOc treachery
and brutality, which is maddened TO reck-
less despair by the inevitable triumph of
its surely eXterminating adversary.

\ Persian Lady,

The Mother of the Shah of Persia is thus
described by a recent writer, who being
a lady herself, may be presumed to have
had quick eye to discern the peculiar
tiles Of the Persian toilette. She says:
"The Shah's mother was dressed with
great magnifcence She wore pair of
trousers made of gold brocade. These
Persian trousers are always very wide,
each leg being wider than the skirt of a
gown, so that they have the effect of an
exceedingly ample petticoat, and, as
crinolines are unknown, the eLega1ates
wear ten and eleven pairs of trousers, one
over the other. (They call European
lady's dress trousers with one leg.0-
The trousers ofthe Shah's mother were
edged with border of pearls embroider-
ed on braid. She had a thin blue chemi-
settle, also trimmed with pearls, nearly
meeting the top Of the trousers, which
are fastened with string. A small jack
ct of velvet was over the cbemisette,
reaching to the waist, and on the head a
small shawl, studded with pearls and
diamonds, and pinned under her chin
Her arms are covered with handsome
bracelets, and her neck with costly neck
laces. Her hair was in bands, and hung
down in a multitude of small plaits.-
She wore no shoes, her feet being cover
ed with fine Cashmere stockings. The
palm of her hands and tips ofhe fingers
were stained with henna, her cheeks
were well rouged, and her eyelids and
eyebrows covered with antimony.

How TO KEEP OFF FLIEs.-In one of
of his lectures the celebrated J. NJ. Me-
chi said: "Where you have plenty of
food, warmth and stock, you will have
abundance of flies. My bullocks could
never lie down in the day time, owing
to their attacks, and, of course, the long
continued lifting of their feet prevented
fattening. BY darkening the feeding
houses l entirely removed this nuisance,
and had the qualification of putting my
animals in most profitable state of re-
pose, for, if you have ten millions of
flies, not one will bite in the dark
Mechi is warm advocate of provi-
ding shelter for stock, first ON the
ground of economy, and second on the
score of humanity.

A FLANNEL SUIT.-Jones says the
whole flannel suit he bought a year ago,
has proved very profitable investment,
and has been of much use to the family.
Jones weighs two hundred and fifty
pounds, and when he bought the suit it
fitted him remarkably we'll. After the
first washing his eldest son, who weighs
one hundred pounds less than Jones sem
Tor, found the garments an excellent fit.
Two washings more made the same gar
ments delightful for a youth Of nine, and
at the end of the season baby was adorn-
ed with the habiliments which had shrunk
just enough to make them fit for child
out Of creeping clothes. This year Jones'
wife uses them as n dishcloth. Where
all that flannel has shrunk to Jones does
MT see, and says he would willingly take
all his family and his mother-in-law to
lecture which would explain it and pay
double price. e.-B0Ston TrdUeLer.

NoXIoUs GASES IN WELLs.-Lives
are frequently lost by noxious gases in
wells. This may be prevented by the
adoption Of the following very simple
means: Take some pieces of carpet, or
Common sacks, and make them up in a
loose bundle nearly as large as the area
OF the well. Throw this bundle down the
well, and haul it up again as quickly as
possible. Repeat this operation rapidly
for ten minutes, and the atmosphere of
the well will become quite nnovious, as
may be proved by letting down a lighted
candle. The bundle, as is easily under
stood, carries before it a quantity of fresh
air from the surface, and this of course,
displaces the foul and dangerous air from
the bottom.
