in which Consumption is prevented by the

A Phonixville maid, quite old,
becoming anxious about her matrimo-
NAL chance, recently concocted plan
to deceive u young fellow rs to her age.
This was the way she tried it: The old
family Bible contained u faithful record
of ali birth, marriages and deaths. This
volumethe maiden took to her chamber
and selecting the birth page, she man
aged by dint of scratching and writing
to change the date Of her birth to period
eleven years later than what it had L.
ultimately been recorded. Then the
Bible was placed on the sitting-room
table in a conspicuous manner. That
evening came along the lover. Hesoon
begun to finger with the Bible pages, and
finally reached the birth record where
and when he discovered, to hissurprise,
that his Angelina was just one year
younger than he. He thought 1t
strange, as she appeared Older. He kept
his mouth shut and continued to
tumble over the pages. Next he began
reading the death list, and made the
very astonishing discovery that the
radiant maiden, according to the Bible,
had actually been born ten years after
the decease of her father. The young
man quietly arose and bid Angelina
goodbye, land now swears that "etcrnal
vigilance is indeed the price of
liberty"

The Modocs, whoes fame was brief,
but worldwide while it lasted, are now
miles away from the lava beds, and
have their home on n reservation in
Southern Kansas. There are altogeth-
er l4s of the tribe, less than fifty OF
them being men. Bogus Charley is
now the chief, his superiors in rank
having either been hanged or imprison-
ed for their murderous treachery to
the Peace Commissioners. Our old
lava oed acquaintances, Shack-Nasty
Jim, Scar-Faced Charley. and Hooker
Jim are with the remnants of their tribe
in Kansas. They are described as "re-
signed to their fate''-that is, they are
probably willing, under compuision, to
desist from bIood-letting. They dwell
in tents, on an open plain, and whilst
1, number of them speak the English
language, the others are endeavoring to
learn 1t. They are being gradually
taught the ways of civilized life, but
they still show the truly Indian distlste
for honest hard work. Capt. jack S
widow is the t'dowager queen" OF the
tribe, receives visitors in state, seated
upon throne of skins and sticks.
Such of the Mouocs rs have been ques-
toned upon the subject, say they DO
not want to go back to the lava beds.

The Best Tobacco.

The State Chemist of Connecticut. in
his report, presents some interesting in
formation m reference 10 the tobacco crop.
with the results of tests upon the tobacco
leaves. The general summary OF the re-
port is as follows: The most highly val
ued tobacco in New England is the thin,
tough, elastic leaf. which barns readily to
ashes. Those leaves containing the most
carbonate of potash IN their ashes, burn
the most freely and suitably. In some
combinations potash does not favor the
burning, and some tobacco manufacturers
improve the flavor and burning quality by
artificially impregnating the leaf with acct.
ate. citrate, or tartrate of potash, applying
the latter In solution and then drying,
Chlorine Injuries the tobacco. as does also
nitric acid. Sulphuric acid. united with
potash, soda or lime. favors the burning OF
tobacco. The best tobacco is produced on
well-drained, warm. sandy lands. Ii is be
lieved heavy manuring increases the guam
tity OF the crop generally at the expens,
OF quality as regards texture.
