The Next Lost Art,

I am sorry to report, as a result of in
vestigations that large proportion of
the girls of the country, and even of
those brought up on farms, are growing
to womanhood without learning to milk;
indeed, with these it is becoming lost
art. Even young men who have no
prospect of success, except such as shall
come by their own labor, cannot milk.
To milk COW seems to be q dreadful
thing, for she has horns and can hook,
and certainly she can kick, and kicking
hurts, SO the work is performed by the
old folks, who learned thousands of
years ago when the world was barbaric,
and they, theyoung folks, sitin thehouse,
possibly at work, but more likely read
ing novels, or playing on the piano. The
question arises, what is going to be done
when the old folks die2 I know that
this cannot last long. Twenty years ago
a pound of butter barely bought yard
of calico ; now it will buy three Or four
yards, and it will buy three pounds of
sugar, half gallon of molasses, and
cloth enough for a shirt. Formerly a
laborer could earn pound of butter by
working a single hour; now he must
work good three hours. 1t seems to me
clear enough that if things go on in this
way ten or fifteen years, butter will
bring rs cents or 81 pound, unless it
goes out of use entirely, except on few
farms where the young folks shall be SO
abused as to be made to milk and cream
to put on strawberries will be out of the
question. That new-fashioned butter
made of beef suet, butterHilk, and eggs
comes in at the right time as Judgment
on the young folks who are afraid COWS
will hook and hck.-Dr. Cross.

LahOrerS, Diet in Scotland.

The details of a case between master
and servant, recently tried at Forres,
Scotland, afford a good idea of the
change for the better made by Scotch
emigrants to the United States. Some
farm servants contended against the con-
slant infictiop of "kailbrose" which they
had to undergo because their employer,
named Paul, had SON e time before added
five calves to his stock, and consequently
could not allow the help as much milk
as would serve them each night to take
their porridge with. The servants agreed
to be satisfied with porridge and milk,
but even this concession the Judge would
not insist upon, claiming that the food
supplied them was as good as that
usually provided in the country. The
"kailbrose" is very Inexpensive dish,
made of the sprouts of certain vegetables
boiled, and oatmeal added. Where the
laborers of that section board themselves,
nothing but "brose" and milk three
times day from years end to years end
is used, and butchers meat once in two
days is the luxury of fortunate servants.
The character of the laborer's diet in this
country shows the poor mans SOW
ereignty in his food as well as his vote.
The laborer here lives as well as the
wealthy farmer in Great Britain, as a
rule. Meat at least twice, and sometimes
thrice day, is but small portion of his
table comforts, and kailbrose," even
with milk, he would use to fatten his
pork instead of himself. And yet there
are poor people across the water that are
made to believe they cannot better their
condition by coming to our shores.

Onions for Sleeplessness.

I now venture to suggest new but
simple remedy for want of sleep, says
Frank Buckland, the naturalist. Opt
ates in any form, even the liquor opii
sedat and chlorodyne, will leave traces
of their influence the next morning. I
therefore prescribe for myself, and have
frequently done SO for others-onions,
simply common onions raw, but Spanish
onions stewed will do. Everybody knows
the taste of onions; this is due to pc
crlliar essential oil contained in this most
valuable and healthy root. This oil has,
am sure, soporific powers. In my own
case they never fail. If I am pressed
with work, and feel I shall not sleep, 1
eat two or three small onions, and the
effect is magical. Onions are also e1-
cellent things to eat when exposed to
intense cold. Mr.. Parnaby, Troutdale
Fishery, Keswick, informs me that when
collecting salmon and trout eggs in the
winter, he finds that common raw onions
enable him and his men to bear the ice
and cold of the semi-frozen water much
better than beer, etc. The Arctic expe-
dition, just now about to start, should
terefore take good stock of. onions.
Finally, if person cannot sleep, it is
because the blood is in the brain, not in
his stomach. This is to be done by eat
ing biscuit, hard boiled egg, a bit
of bread and cheese or something. Fol
low this up with glass of wine or milk,
or even water, and you will fall asleep,
and will, we trust, bless the name of
Frank Buckland.

Let the Babies Dig. in the Dirt.

We, once asked an old Winnebago
squaw, how it vas that she cured her
sick family by simply covering them ev-
cry day with fresh earth, leaving only a
breathing spot for their noses, and she
said: Earth our mother. Earth make
she, and Earth take good care to make
she papooses strong; squaw-mother
make she papooses sick. Earth-mother
make she papooses well again. She
can't tell white squaw any more" Now
this poor Indian woman was wise sac
cording to her lights" Without know
ing why, she saw that the earth was q
friend to her children, and therefore
gave them to its healing embrace. If
the mother be fortunate enough to live
in the country, she has the cure for many
of her children's ills quite at hand. En-
courage baby to play in the fresh earth,
preparing it properly for its enjoyment
and cure, with as careful an eye to the
comfort of the little thing as you would
if it were to take any other sort of a
bath. If it has no old dresses, make it
suit of cheap print, tie upon its head
light hat that will protect its eyes from
discomfort, and give it freedom to delve
in the warm, soft earth, where the SUM-
shine can comfort and invigorate it. If
it is city child, and circumstances for
bid trip to the country for the sake of
the weak convalescent, have sand heap
made on the warm side of your yard.
Instinct will teach it to dig, and digging
hardens the muscles and brings strength
to the bones, while from the heart of the
erth rises subtle and strong power of
healing that we can neither explain nor
understand for ourselves, though we
have both seen and felt its potency

Prevention of Cruelty to Children.

Some noteworthy cases were reported
at a recent meeting in New York of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children. One of the worst was that of
a young orphan girl, IA years old, who
was badly choked and beaten by her
uncle, and locked up in room. She
made her escape, and was being per-
suaded to enter disorderly house in
Wooster street, when the matter was
brought to the notice of the society.
Steps were at once taken by which she
secured home in respectable family
as servant. Seven cases were found
where the circumstances would have
warranted prosecution, but, after CIV
ing the accused persons a severe warn
ing it was thought better not to use ex-
treme measures unless the cruelty was
again perpetrated. The cases are yet in
abeyance, two of the offenders being
under bail to stand trial. The Secretary
further represented that, during the past
month, he had visited the neighborhood
of the different theaters and other places
of amusement at night, and found many
young children begging. Upon being
questioned, invariably the same answer
was given: "Sent out by mother" or
"by father" to beg. Since then some
of them have disappeared, while others
have changed their begging grounds
and again others have become peddlers
of flowers.

The Devil at the Treasury Department.

A few days ago, small party of ladies
and gentlemen visited the Treasury De-
partment for the purpose of seeing the
sights and wonders there, and "Satan
came also." This time he was distin-
guished as a neatly dressed young man.
His air and manner were dignifed,
modest, and somewhat retiring. He was
noticeable for his thick, black hair, mus
tache and imperial, and piercing black
eyes, which seemed to look into and
comprehend all things around him.
With that peculiar and graceful style
which the Prince of Darkness has when
IN the presence of women and those hav-
ing authority, he was Immediately in the
good graces of all with whom he came in
contact. He stopped moment before a
clerk who was handling stamped bills.
By some quick and potent influence the
stamped were changed in the twinkling
of an eye" into unstimped ones. The
bewildered clerk looked first from one to
another, and then, as if he would implore
the mercy of heaven in proof that he was
honest but while he prayed, 10 the
bills were stamped again and he was
happy. The. devil then glided noise
lessly up to beautiful young lady, all
the ladies i'll the Treasury are beautifully,
and as she looked up. consciously inno-
cent that her count would be all right,
he drew large roll of bills from the
folds of her dress. Her cheeks were
blanched with fear and she trembled like
an aspen leaf. Her expression seemed
to say: Great Heaven, what have I
done Who will take care of mother
now?" Her companions looked on in
astonishment, and the officials were
thunderstrdck. The devil "smole
ghastly smile," and, taking the roll of
bills, placed them where they belonged,
and the young lady came to herself, say
ing, "Zamiel, is this to be the record of
the dying year, and is my soul free?"
The devil continued his inspection tour,
and in another department he found
pile of old bills which had never been
missed, causing the gravest apprehension
and astonishment, and while explaining
how it was to the chief clerk the devil
abstracted his watch from his breast
pocket. In the long gray boards of the
most honest men the world ever saw,
number of gold coins were found secret
ed, and in the pockets of others pack
ages of bills ready for delivery were
found. The situation was becoming en-
barrassing, when one cool head, wiser
than the rest, suggested that the famous
magician, Herman, was of the party,
and so it proved.-NationaI Repub-

Which.

An old story regarding Ethan Allen is
opportunely revived by the Washington
Chronicle. Allen had the reputation of
being an open unbeliever in Christianity.
He published the first formal attack on
the Christian religion ever written in
America. He enclined to the doctrine
of Pythagoras, and believed in the trans
of souls. His wife was a
woman of exemplary piety, and his chill
dren, with the exception of one daugh-
ter, shared with the mother in her relig-
ious belief. This daughter inclined to
the strange opinions of the father.
When, about to die she sent for him.
The rough-spoken man, whose heart was
as tender as child's, came to the bedside
of the dying girl. Father, I am about
to die, said she )" shall believe in the
principles you have taught me, or shall I
believe in what my mother has taught
me9" The father became agitated, his
lips quivered, tears ran down his cheeks,
and bending over his dying child, he
said, with voice choked with emotion,
"Beleve what your mother has taught
YOU"

ONLY Wanted tO Know.

The night clerk of Louisville drug
store was aroused some evenings ago by
the furious tinkling of his bell. Peep
ing out of front window he looked be-
low and saw two men standing in the
doorway of the shop, moving about in
manner indicative of extreme uneasi-
ness. With a shout, "Be down in a
minute" he donned his pantaloons by
fastening single flying button, and pull
ing on his stockings hastened below.
He opened the front door to admit the
two fellows, who, singularly, preferred
to stand outside and allow the clerk to
cool off in the night air. One of the
strangers, big fat fellow, asked of the
clerk, "Have you any Croton ons" to
which he answered, eyes, sir, plenty"
whereupon the first speaker turned to
his companion, slim little fellow, and
said, in an exultant tone, 81 told you
So" The little fellow seemed greatly
disappointed, but muttered: "Well, con-
found it, 1 know you did" Both then
walked of, apd the clerk rubbed his eyes
and went hack to bed.

Subterranean ROutes.

Underground railroads OF tunnels as
the means of transit through populous
cities are becoming more and more re-
cognized as necessity as the railroad
system of the country is extended and
traffic increased. The streets of our
cities are necessary to the uses and con-
venience of their inhabitants, for which
they were originally intended, and the
safety of human life also has to be secured
by shutting the steam railroads out of
them as rapidly as possible. The day is
not far distant when no such railroad
will be allowed the use of much
frequented streets of cities for the pass
age of their trains. Hence we see and
hear of the opening of tunnels from
time to time in different of our chief
cities, by which the annoyance and dan
ger of iutruding railroad cars is no
longer felt. Among the latest achieve
ments of this sort is the completion of
the tunnel under Fourth avenue, New
York city, which was opened recently,
and now all the railroads leaving that
city will have an underground outlet.
The work has been two years in execu-
ton and has cost several millions of dol,
lars. .-BaItinOr6 Sun.

Men Who Lived Without Speaking.

Charles Warren Stoddard, writing to
the San Francisco Chronicle, says:
"Away up on the hill that overlooks
Naples stands the Carthusian monastery
of San Martino. The monks who once
inhabited the glorious palace-for it is
nothing less-were men Of noble birth
and vast fortune. The church is now
one of the most magnificent in Italy.
Agate, jasper, lapis-lazuh, amethyst,
Egyptian granite and fossil wood, to
gether with marbles of every tint, are SO
blended in mosaics that line the whole
edifce, and the carvings are so rich and
graceful that the interior of some of the
chapels seem like Eden bowers trans
fixed by miracle and frozen into stone.
And in this spot lived a brotherhood
who came from the first circles of society
and buried themselves in this gorgeous
tomb, for it was little else. The monks
took vow of perpetual silence, lived
apart, ate apart, and met only for the
unsocial hours of prayer, when each was
wrapped in his own meditation, and no
one uttered syllable.
each of the little cells where they
slept had small window or closet COM
municating with one of the corridors,
and in this closet was placed the frugal
meal which was then taken into the cell
and eaten in solitude. Every quarter of
an hour bell struck, to remind the lis
teners that they were SO much nearer
their death. In the garden the ratings
are ornamented with marble skulls, and
the only sounds that used to disturb this
splendid solitude were the tread of san
daled feet, the rustic of long white robes,
or the clang of the bell that tolled off their
solemn lives in brief moments, that yet
might have seemed long to them. These
monks, like most others in Italy, have
been driven from their retreat, and all
their treasures coniscated by Victo
Emmanuel"

Ice Cream...What Dealer Has to Say.

"There is one point" said the mau,
that whenever any person comes into
my saloon and looks stranger-ike, and
particularly if they give any evidence of
being unused to city life, they invariably
ask for vanilla cream. don't know
why it is, other than the fact that vanilla
was about the first flavor used in ice
cream. In olden times it was supposed
that ice cream might produce hysteria,
and as vanilla was administered medi-
cinally for that, they used it as suitable
flavor to counteract any evil effects that
cream might have. Those were the days
when doctors were just beginning to al
low their fever patients to have ice and
drink cold water. The consequence was
that vanilla ice cream thus became wide
known, and it is one of the best. By
some it is called svanil, by others
miller and there are those also who
ask for 'banilla.' Of course these mis-
takes are laughable, but then we never
treat unknowing people in any ungen-
tlemanly or unladylike way. 1t is not
our business to make fun of others,
who, in all probability, know infinitely
more than we do in their business at
home"
"What sort of ice cream do ladies' ask
for" continued the reporter.
Elderly ladies take lemon, middle
aged like chocolate, young ladies take
strawberry, and the quite pert misses
ask for orange, peach, and mixed flavor.
It has become quite fashionable to call
for mixed creams. During the straw
berry season we sell berries and ice
cream, or berries and ordinary cream
with sugar. Ice cream and berries
form the principal demand nowadays.
There is a great deal in appearance, -and
a plate heaped high with berries and
cream looks aristocratic and still
doesn't cost much. Then again, it is
very palatable, and is much more cred
table than spending that money for
something that does not do any person
any good, but rather harm. Ice cream
is refreshing and nourishing, and can
be eaten in perfect safety by every
