let him sleep, stole away from the vii
lage, which was wrapped in drunken
slumber, and repaired to a favorite
lookout Of his upon the hillside, over
looking the sea. His mind, which had
lain dormant during the four years Of
his life in that spot, had been suddenly
awakened by the scenes Of the day, and
for the first time in years no began to
think. The joys Of a savage life had
suddenly grown distasteful to him, and,
as he reflected upon what the future
might bring, he made a sudden deter
mination to escapeto civilized life again.
Stealing down to the beach, he secured
a light canoe, embarked in it without
food or water and padded away into
the sea and darkness. He had no idea
in what direction the town lay, but de-
termined on following the coast till he
reached 1t, and on the third day, having
subsisted by running ashore OCCASION
ally and procuring supplies of fruit, he
saw the town before him and an Amer
lean man.of-war in the harbor. lie
was kindly received on board the vessel,
where he was decently clothed and re-
stored to all the outward semblance of
his former self, and in her he made the
voyage to New York. Since then he
has constantly followed the sea, and,
though sometimes pining a little for his
former wild and free life, he always en-
tiers an emphatic protest against ever
renewing the experience.

Hospitality I'm Texas.

In 10 city in the United States Is the
travel-stained, weary traveller taken as
good care of as he is in a San Antonio
hotel. The and customs OF the
guests are carefully studied. A young
man from the frontier, stopping in one
OF u hotels, told the clerk, the other
evening, that he was going to be out
late. "Just wait a minute" replied
the accommodating clerk, and he rush
ed of, but soon appeared with a large
envelope (which he placed in the guests
breast-pocket, with the remark: "That
is a bond for your appearance before
the Recorder, properly signed. As soon
as you are arrested for being drunk and
d~isorderly, just give the bond to the
policeman, mention my name to him,
and he will bring you home in a hack.
Good night! God bless you!"--San
Antonto Herald.

A SMALL piece of paper or linen,
moistened with the spirits Of t%urpentine
and put into a bureau or wardrobe for
a single day, two or three times, Is said
to be a sufficient preservative against
moths.
THE best way to admit Of pure air In
the night (where windows are the only
mode of v%entilation) is to open the
sleeping.room into a hall where there
is an open window in order to avoid
the draught. A window with a small
opening Mt top and bottom ventilates
more than one with one opening only.
POTATOES, like the fat of meat, are
the heat producers for the body, and
they are especially good to eat along
with lean meat, which supplies the flesh.
Meat and potatoes give about the same
nourishment as bread, but the potatoes
must be nicely cooked to render them
1t for food.
A SMALL, clean potato, with the end
cut off, is a very convenient method Of
applying brick-dust to knives, keeping
it about the right moisture, while the
juice OF the potato assists in removing
stains from the surface. We can get a
better polish by this method than by
any other tried, and with less labor.
A GOOD w~ashing-blue is made as fol-
lows: Make a solution of prussiate of
potash, 2 ounces, and another of pro-
tosulphate OF iron, l ounce; add the
second gradually to the first, until the
precipitate almost ceases to fall, then
strain through linen, add water, and
continue the washing until the blue
color begins to dissolve in it, when it
may be at once dissolved in distilled
water and dried.
A CHINESE doctor says that Ameri-
cans boil tea, and thereby lose the
flavor, while the Chinese make it by
infusion. They place n small quantity
of tea leaves in a bowl, pour boiling
water upon it, and then cover the bowl.
The strength of the tea depends on the
time the tea is allowed to draw.
"And," said the speaker, when max
ing an infusion, do not boil the water
hastily at first. Milk or sugar should
never be used with tea"
THE art of cooking Indian meal has
not received that attention which its
merits deserve. A baked Indian pud.
ding, with a little suet to soften and
lubricate the meal, makes q dessert fit
for a Governor, and almost too good
for common folks. With milk, butter,
eggs, and sugar, and lots of fruit, In.
dian meal can be made to keep a family
in the most thrifty condition. These
are all produced, sugar excepted, on
the farm, and on many farms we need
not make an exception. When sugar
is made from beets in this country as
it ought to be, and soon will be-the
farmer will be almost independent OF
the grocer.
