investment for those who are not afraid
to cross the Rubicon between Cheyenne
and Custer. At present the mercantile
houses in the Black Hills consist of five
small general stores, the largest and
best kept by Peter Mckay, of Cheyenne,
and Charles ColweI, of Southern Kan

bakeries, one restaurant in a tent, three
little log cabin hotels, four saw mills,
one clothing store, and an unaccountable
number of log cabins and unsurveyed,

intervenes between these hills and their
base of supply, either at Sioux City,
Yankton or Cheyenne; but this expanse

sent a maid back after some more suit

terribly scared and made the trip to the

though excellent in themselves, did not

sent back. When she returned again
she bore in her trembling hands a boa
Luckily the fire was subdued with but
little trouble, and the young lady Wal

a man over eight feet six inches in
height. The skull measured nearly
twelve inches in the shortest diameter,
and had on the left side an indentation,
evidently made by severe blow.
In the vault at the side of the skele-
ton was found an implement of copper,
four feet three inches in length, that
weighs four pounds, and appears to
have been intended for a weapon of de-
Tense. 1t is roughly made, and was
probably fashioned from the native cop
per of the lake regions. The sword is
slightly bent, tapers to point, and has
somewhat the appearance of a saw upon
its cutting edge. A rude effort at dec
Grafton is made upon the handle by ir-
regular lines running entirely around it.
In close proximity to this interesting
relic was found what was at first taken
to be n rude bowl of the same metal but
it has since been decided that it is he'll
met or head covering. A stone AK of
elegant workmanship, seven flint arrow
points, a stone pipe carved to represent
square and stained red, a pair of san
dals woven from vegetable fibre, and a
water vessel of sun-baked clay were also
found.
AN ABORIGINAL wATER-COOLER.
The latter is now in my own posses
sion, and is a very beautiful specimen.
1t appears to be made from clay tenn
pered with skill, and is very similar in
design to the pottery occasionally found
in Tennessee, Arkansas, and some. of
the other Southern States, and known
among antiquarians as the "Mound
Builders water-cooler." The speci-
men in my possession weighs one pound
and ten ounces, and holds exactly two
and a half pints.
Most'of the specimens described above
were brought out of the cave by the
young men on their return to daylight
and removed to the hotel at Augusta,
where they continue to attract crowds
of the curiously inclined. They will Ill
timately be sent to one of the scientific
institutions of the country, probably to
the Smithsonian.
The country in the neighborhoed Of
this wonderful cavern is full of excite
ment, hundreds of people focking to
the place, though few venture beyond
the entrance. The owner of this land,
Mr.. Veach, is very jubilant, and has de-
clined, am told, large offers for the
place. A further exploration will be
made shortly under scientific auspices,
when a more complete account Of the
win be given.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

"PoP-ovER" PUDDING.-Take cup
of milk, eggs, and cup of corn-starch,
or flour, if the starch happens to be out.
Mix the starch or -four thoroughly with
a little milk first, to avoid Jumps; then
beat the whole together few minutes,
add q pinch of salt, and pour into cups
which have been buttered. Fill the cups
half full. Set them in quick oven,
and they will rise in baking, and they
will "pop over'' in the prettiest way i'm
aginable. When done, turn them out
of the cups, make a sweet sauce, and
each one at the table can have a pud-
ding to himself. The above recipe is
sufficient for four cups.
A VALUABLE O1NTMENr.-A most
excellent ointment for hands, that are
scratched, burned or sore is thus pre-
pared: Take 3 drains of camphor
gum, 3 ofswhite beeswax, 8 of ssperma-
ceti, 2 ounces of olive oil; put them to-
gether in a cup f,rpon the stove where
they will meltlslowly and form a white
ointment in few minutes. If the
hands be affected, anoint them on going
to bed and put on a. pair of gloves. A
day or two will suffice to heal them.
For chapped hands, instead of washing
the hands with soap employ Soat meal,
and after each washing take a little dry
oat meal and rub over the hands, SO as
to absorb any moisture.
CARE OF PLANTs.-What is wanted
for many kinds of plants and flowers, is
moist heat at the roots and fibres,
where growth early starts, and from
which the stimulus is conveyed to every
other part of the plant. A thrifty
growth below the ground is sure to be
followed by fruit and flowers above.
This can be accomplished by filling the
saucers of the flower pots with hot
water. This is, of course, absorbed and
carried up to the roots and fibers, Civ
ing the required bottom heat. I'm
thrifty plants, in addition to this, should
be placed on the mantel- piece over the
kitchen range; keeping them, of course,
well watered. 1t supplies heat, where
it is most wanted-at the roots-and
the benefit is marked. In warm rooms
the higher temperature is at the top,
and the coolest near the floor, where
the pots are. This reverses the proper
order, giving the roots of the plant the
coolest place. Another important mat
ter in house. plants is to give them the
morning sun. Windows where flowers
are kept should, therefore, face the
east. The reasons are not known, per-
haps, but the fact is patent to all whose
business it is to develop healthy growth
in plants and flowers that an hour of
morning sun is worth three hours of
afternoon sun. t5A as 4

/. A SENTENCE of six months imprison-
ment has been passed at Birmingham,
England, on a woman named Hawkins,
for cruelty to her step-son, aged IL.
Since her marriage to the boys father,
eighteen months ago, she had habitually
beaten and starved the boy He had
often been seen picking crusts off of dust
heaps, and eating potato pealings and
cabbage leaves. On Thursday he was
sent to school with little breakfast, had
no dinner, and on returning home at
o'clock he helped himself to some bread
in his step-mother's absence.s Learning
this afterward, she stripped him and
struck him about thirty times on the
back until it was a mass of bruises.

This planet is, for the most part, in

The most favorable time to observe this

A GIANT SKELETON.

In the center of this room there
bomed up out of the darkness an i'm
mense square, moss-covered bunch of
loose stones, carefully laid one upon the
other, after the fashion of the rock
fences common Ia this section of coun-
try. There could be no doubt that this
monument or cairn was the result of
human labor, expended probably thou
sands of years ago. The top of this
ssrcophagus, for such it proved to be,
was covered by slabs of thin rock, evil
IDENTIFY transported from the surface.
They were carefully removed, disclos-
ing q square vault that had been plas-
tered with mud mixed with small pieces
Of straw or twigs of trees or bushes.
In ae center of the vault, in sitting
posture, was found the skeleton of hu-
man figure, entire, and perfectly pre-
served by the dry atmosphere of the
cave: As there was no appearance of
hesh upon the bones, it is probable the
body had been prepared in the open air,
denuded of the flesh, and afterward re-
moved 10 the cave for burial. The
bones were taken carefully out of the
vault, laid upon the floor, and by the
rough measurement the young men
were able to make found to be those of
