AVERY nice way of preparing apples
especially for children, is to select
sweet ones, pare, quarter and core
them; if they are large apples cut them
into eight pieces set them in tin
pan free from grease, or yellow bak-
ing dish, placed in steamer over boil
ing water; put on the lid, and let them
remain until fork will pass through;
keep the water boiling underneath all
the time; eat cold, with rich milk OF
cream, and pulverized sugar sprinkled
over them.

To CURE RHEUMATIsM.-Take dry
tobacco leaves, such as are kept driving
in the store house of the grower; spread
over them soft soap and then apply
hem wherever the pain is; as fast as
they dry renew them. As soon as the
patient vomits two or three times, re-
move them, give warm wash, then
rub dry and bind all the parts that
have been covered with tobacco with
fannels wet in whisky, give the patient
a warm whisky toddy and let him OF

An OPmoN.-Mr. Smalley, of the
New York Tribune, has come across a
private letter in London from an
Englishman of distinction who has
lately visited the United States. !"
This Englishman having been a month
in the country wrote, to his friend:
eff you were to ask me what has
struck me most since / came here, /
should say: First. That down to
the present date, we have not in our
travels been asked for aims by man,
or woman, or child. Second. That
w have not yet seen soldier. Third.
The total absence Of book advertise
ments- in many American papers of
large circulation. Fourth. The very
inferior literary character of many
newspapers of good standing and
repute.

A Ranch Bigger than Rhode Island.

The ranch of John S. Chisum, of
Bosque Grande, New Mexico, was sold
to Col. r. d. Hunter, of St. Louis,
the other day, for $4,000, one-half
cash down. The purchase includes the
$4,000 head ofcattle now on the ranch.
During the past summer Mr.. Chisum
has sold to Colorado, Kansas City and
St. Louis buyers about &c, 900 head of
beef cattle. Besides these, he has
supplied some 5000 head to contract
ors in New Mexico and Arizona. The
ranch extends along the Pecos river
from Fort Sumner to Seven Rivers, a
distance of $50 miles. This is its scope
north and south. East and west it
extends as far as a man mounted on a
good horse, can ride during one sum
mer practically, as far on each side of
the stream as stock can range without
water. The range on both sides of
the river is high, rolling prairie, cover
ed with a thick, heavy growth Of black
gramma, a most nutritious grass Du-
ring this past summer the grass over
much of this area has stood knee high
to cattle. The residence buildings are
situated in the center of the ranch.
Stations, or cow-camps, are located on
the river at intervals of 80 and 40
miles. Two hundred herders have
been employed on the ranch the past
summer. At one time this season the
horses numbered 5000 head. A sue
eessfu raid by redskins reduced this
number to about 1000. Col. Hunter,
the purchaser of this vast estate, will
engage more extensively than Mr..
Chismin the breeding business. He
has just bought 200 saddle horses for
use at the February round up.-Den-

A Christmas Legend.

"A 4k0UAA00 ASVSaOA40s
It was Christmas eve. The night
was very dark and the snow was fall.
ing fast, a. Hermann, the charcoal
burner, drew his cloak tighter around
him, and the wind whistled fercely
through the trees of the black forest.
He had been to carry a load to a
castle near, and was now fastening
home, to his little hut. Although he
worked very hard, he was poor, gain
ing barely enough for the wants Of his
wife and four little children. He was
thinking of them, when he heard a
faint wailing. Guided by the sound,
he CROPPED about and found a little
child, scantly clothed, shivering and
sobbing by itself in the snow.
"Why, little one, have they left
you here alone to face the cruel blast?"
The child answered nothing, but
looked piteously up in the charcoal
burners face.
"Well, can not leave thee here.
Thou would'st be dead before the
morning"
So saying, Hermann raised it in his
arms, wrapping it in his cloak and
warming its little cold hands in his
bosom. When he arrived at his hut,
he put down the child and tapped at
the door, which was Immediately
thrown open, and the children rushed
to meet him.
"Here, wife, is guest to our
Christmas eve supper" said he leading
the little one, who held timidly to his
finger with its tiny hand.
"And welcome he is" said the wife.
CHOW let him come and warm himself
by the fire."
The children all pressed around to
welcome and gaze at the little new
conner.
They showed him their pretty fir
tree, decorated with bright, colored
lamps in honor of Christmas eve,
which the good mother had en-
deavored to make a tes for the chill
dren.
Then they sat down to supper, each
child contributing its portion for the
guest, looking with admiration at its
clear blue eyes and golden hair, which
shown SO as to shed a brighter light in
the little room; and as they gazed it
grew into sort Of halo round its head,
and his eyes beamed with heavy lus-
ter. Soon two white wings appeared
at his shoulders, and he seemed to
grow larger and larger, and then the
beautiful vision vanished, spreading
out his hands as in benediction over
them.
Hermann and his wife fell upon
their knees, exclaiming in woe-struck
voices, "the holy Christ-child I" and
then embraced their wonderful chill
dren to joy and thankfulness that they
had entertained the Heavenly Guest.
The next morning, as Hermann
passed by the place where he had
found the fair child, he saw cluster
of white flowers, with dark green
leaves, looking as though the snow
itself had blossomed. Hermann
plucked some and carried them re-
verently home to his wife and children,
who treasured the fair blossoms and
tended them carefully in remembrance
Of that wonderful Christmas eve, call
ing them Chrysanthemums; and every
year, as the time came round, they
put aside portion of their feast and
gave it to some poor little children ac-
cording to the word of the Christ:
1nasmuch as ye have done it unto
one Of the least Of these, my brethren,
ye have done it unto me-"

DIR. sAGE'S CATARRH REMEDY

is, beyond all comparison, the best prepare
ton for Catarrh ever discovered. Under the
influence of its mild, soothing, and healing
properties, the disease soon yields. The
Golden Medical discovery should be taken
to correct the blood, which is always at fault,
and to act specifically upon the diseased
glands and lining membrane of the nose.
The Catarrh Remedy should be applied warm
with DR.. Pierce's Nasal Douche-the only
instrument by which fluids can be perfectly
injected to all the passages and chambers Of
the nose from which discharges proceed.
