SnMe Holm.

We clip the following from the Tex
rs New Yorker of July.
The New York Tribune recently
said 1.-THE very veXed question of the
authorship of the Sake Holm stories, "
has at last been settled. II IL said that
Sake Holm is lady, accomplished,
unmarried, and on the sunny side OF
"forty years" Her name is quaint and
Quaker-like--Ruth Ellls--and her home
is In small village in Central New
York;
The Tribune IL mistaken. We have
the honor OF knowing "Saxe Holm,u
having made her acquaintance In Tex.
~.
she is lady, and not only accom-
plished and unmarried, but on the sun
ny side OF thirty, rich and hansome.
Her name is not Ruth Ellis, nor does
she live In u small village In Central
New York.
Interest In the vexed question will
soon be increased by the publication oil
another story Oft Is said by the crit
les who have read portions of the Ms
far superior merit to any of It's prede-
cessors.
There is much more literary talent
In the South than the literati Of the
North gives us credit for.
We Texans are proud of our Nettie
p. Houston, Mollie Il. Moore, and
Sake Holm.

! have sent him back his picture,
And his glittering diamond ring,
But the rend ring up of tokens
Can no oblivion bring;
There are memories of glances,
Which onr courage all disarms,
There are whispered words and kisses,
And close claspings Of the arms
There are VOWS we thought were deathless,
There are smiles that cannot fade
There are touches of the finger,
There is tenderness portrayed
By glance from dreamy eyes,
Or ripping sound of laughter,
That we never ceased to treasure
Let what GOODNESS will come after
And these memories Of our passion
From my heart could not cast
Although told him carelessly
My love had long since passed
In future years we two will meet,
When we have both wiser grown,
But no hope will be to him Of me
AS bright as one dream flown.

BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUTTER
YEAR. --Among the many devices for
keeping butter III manner that will
preserve the fresh, rosy flavor of the new,
with all its sweetness, is the following
from the Duchess Farmer, which is said
to be entirely successful: ITO three
gallons of brine strong enough to bear an
egg, add a quarter of pound of nice
white sugar and one tablespoonful Of
saltpcter Boil the brine, and when it
is cold, strain carefully. Make your
butter into rolls, and wrap each sepa-
rately in clean white muslin cloth, ty-
ing up with string. Pack large jar
full, weigh the butter down, and pour
over the brine until all is submerged.
This will keep really good butter per-
fectly sweet and fresh whole year. Be
carefu! to not put upon ice butter that you
wish to keep for any length Of time ia
summer when the heat will not admit Of
butter being made into rolls, pack closo-
~ in small iars, and, using the same
brine, allow it to cover the butter to tho
depth Of at least four inches. This ex-
cludes the air and answers very well, az
the method first suggested"

INJURIES OF THE BRAIN Delicate rs
the organization of the brain must be, it
is surprising to read of the hard knocks
it can bear, not only without injury but
to its advantage. The man who lost
half hi, brain through suppuration of ths
skull, preserved his intellectual faculties
to the day of his death and the brains
of soldiers have been known to carry
bullets without apparent inconvenience,
and to undergo operation for the extrac-
ton of the foreign bodies without loss Of
power. A physician who was afflicted
with an abnormal cerebral growth which
upon the cavities of the brain, so as to
paralyze one side of his body and render
him speechless, retained posesssirf Of
his reasoning and calculating powcrs 1n-
til he died. One of three brothers, all
idiots, after receiving severe injury on
the head gained his senses and lived to
be clever barrister stable boy of
dull capacity, and subject 10 fits, had
his wits sharpened by the kick of u
horse, which neeessitilted the abstraction
Of a portion of his brain; and no less II
parsonage than Pope Clements vi. owed
the improvement of his memory to n
slight conclusion of the brain. On the
other hand, it is fact that the brains of
persons with thoroughly disordered
minds, as rule present no abnormal
appearance after death, which is not to
be wondered at, DR.. Wynter declares.
when it is found that SYMPTOMS Of a
disordered brain are often produced by |.
