There are number Of niddle-aged

ability, visited Sunday schools to dis-
play their experimenting qualities
One Of these gentry had round of
four or five schools which be visited

up fine with a spoon. For a quart OF
the bread and milk add beaten egg,
half a teaspoonfuI of salt. and a tea
spoonful of saleratus; a little cream

Boiled Potatoes.

But few cooks put upon q table a

followed. makes d potato not only
palatable, but digestible: Peal and
put into cold water say one dozen
peachblowlpotatoes. and let them stand
an hour longer will not hurt them Il
wash them out of the water and put
them into boiling water enough to
cover them in saucepan with a close
fitting cover throw in tablespoon
full Of salt, and let them boil half an
hour : turn of the water, and stand the
saucepan on the back Of the range or
stove for FIVE or ten minutes, keeping
the cover tightly closed, as herein
lies the secret of having potato look
like u SNOWFALL. Serve in a covered
dish. and keep them covered until
wanted for the plate. Most cooks lift
the cover off the saucepan to let
the steam escape. This makes the
potato heavy and indigcstible.

THE following extract from sketch by the
late cen. Custer in the July Golaryis Of especial
interest at this time.-ED.l
For myself, so oblivious was to the
pros pect Of immediate danger, that af-

and bnckskin coat in the form Of n COM

united my crayat, and opened my col

tent The delights of an outdoor siesta.
did not omit, however, 10 place my
trusty Remington riflewithin easy grasp
more from habit, il must be confessed,
than from anticipation of danger. Near
me, and stretched on the ground shell
tered by the shade of the same tree,
was my brother, the Colonel, Invested
of his hat, coat, and boots while close
at hand, wrapped in deep slumber, lay
the other three officers, Moylan, CAL
houn, and Narnum. Sleep had taken
possession of Us all-ofiicers and men
excepting of course the watchful pick
cts into whose keeping the safety, the
lives, OF our little detachment was fol
the time entrusted. Many of the horses
even, having lunched most beautifully
from the rich repast which nature had
spread around and beneath them,
seemed to share in the languor and
druw siness of their riders, and were to
be seen here and there reposing upon
the soft green carpet which to them
was both food and couch. How long we
slept scarcely know-perhaps an hour
when the cry Of "Indians Indians!n
quickly followed by the sharp ringing
crack Of the pickets' carbines, aroused
and brought us-ofiicers, men, and
horses-to our feet. There was neither
time nor occasion for questions to be
asked or answered. Catching up my
rife, and without waiting TO don hat or
boots, glanced through the grove of
trees TO the open plain or valley be-
You'd, and saw a small party of Indians
bearing down toward us as fast as their
ponies could carry them.
"Run TO your horses, men! Run TO
your horses!" / fairly yelled as saw
that the first move of the Indians was
intended to stampede our animals and
leave us to be attended to afterward.
At tn same time the pickets opened
fire upon our disturbers, who had al
ready cmptied-thcir rifles at us as they
advanced as If boldly intending to ride
us down. As vet we could see but half
dozen warriors, but those who were
familiar with Indian stratagems knew
full well that so small party of saw
ages unsupported would not venture to
disturb in open day force the size of
ours Quicker than could pen the
deseription- each trooper, with rifle in
hand, rushed TO secure his horse, and
men and horses were soon withdrawn
from the open plain and concealed be-
hind the clump of trees beneath whose
shade we were but few moments before
quietly sleeping The firing OF the
pickets, the la,ter having been rein
