We once asked an old Winnebago
squaw, how it was that she cured her
sick family by simply covering them ey-
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 "ac-
cording to her lights" Without know
ing why, she saw that the earth was
friend to her children, and therefore
gave them to its healing embrace. If
the mother be fortunate enough to live
I'D 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 eve to the
comfort of the little thing as you would
if it were to take any other sort of q
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 sun
shine can comfort and invigorate it. If
it is q city child, and circumstances for
bid trip to the country for the sake of
the weak convalescent, have alsand 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
elrth 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

The Next Lest Art.

I am sorry to report, as result of in
vestigations that a 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 a 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 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 the house,
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 die? know that
this cannot last long. Twenty years ago
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
hNbrer could earn a pound of butter by
wl skiing 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 Is cents or 81 a pound, unless it
goes out of use entirely, except ON a 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, buttermilk, and eggs
comes in at the right time as Judgment
on the young folks who are afraid COWS
will hook and kick.-D7. Cross.

Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.

Some noteworthy cases were reported
at 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-
srladed to enter a 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 a servant. Seven cases were found
where the circumstances would have
warranted a prosecution, but, after Civ
ing the accused persons severe warn
ing it was thought better not to use ex-
IRENE measures unless the cruelty was
again perpetrated. The cases are yet in
allegiance, 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

Ice Crea,n---What Dealer Has to Say.

Ice Cream---W What a Dealer Has to Say.
There is one point" said the man,
6 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. I 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 counterfeit 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
I that vanilla ice cream thus became wide
known, and it is one of the best. By
some it is called 'vanil, 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 1lnladylike way. It 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 2" 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 great deal in appearance, and
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
liable 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
| body"

WOman,s Energy.

Says the Pail Mall Gazette. Woman
often complains that hers is comparative
,ly a fixed, a secluded, and meditative
life. Yet it is not always SO /; she occa-
sionally energies from a life of seclusion
and meditation and displays an energy
and a. versatility of talent which throw
man completely into the shade, and
would, but for his moral blindness,
awaken him to a more vivid sense of
his own inferiority. Such career, for
instance, as that of lady, by name
Elizabeth Taylor, who was charged on
Friday last before the magistrates at
Warrington with being drunk and diser-
derry, and fined five .shillings and costs,
is one that may be studied with adyan-
tage by many frivolous man whose life
is spent In Incidence and ease. Mrs.
Taylor, who appeared in the dock In
g male attire, I" was stated by the chief
constable to be the daughter of a. gem
tlennan who formerly lived at Penketh,
near Warrington. She had been mar
ried, but her husband was killed twenty
one years ago, and for the last thirteen
years she had adopted the garments of
man. She was employed as sailor
during the American war. and made
several voyages from South Wales to the
American coast IN vessels sent out to
supply the Alabama and blockade run
