Practical Hints.

Flour should be kept in a tightly
covered barrel or bin, dipped with a
scoop, and always sifted before using.
Put dried fruits in paper bags and
hang up.
Bread and cake will keep fresh
much longer by being put in tin
box with tight cover.
Have a labeled box for every kind
of spice.
Coffee should be purchased by the
quantity as it improves with age.
Tea should be kept in tin cans.
Cream tartar, tartaricacid essences,
soda, and baking powder should be
kept in wide mouthed glass bottles
with ground shoppers.
To choose nutmegs prick them
with pin. If the oil comes out they
are fresh.
To destroy bedbugs, scald thorough
ly every COTHcT anu CIeNlCc VI tue
haunts of the despised an hated pests,
then apply unguentum or mercurial
ointment. 1t can be procured at any
drug store.
A basin of water put into the oven
with cakes or pastry will keep them
from burning.
Lemons can be kept sweet and
for months by putting them in a
clean, tight cask or jar covering with
cold water. The water must be
changed as often as every other day,
and the cask kept in cool place.
Zinc that is used under stoves
should never be dampened. If it be-
comes soiled or dim, rub with n soft
flannel and a little fresh lard. Clean
ed in this way zinc may always be
kept as bright as when first purchas-
ed.
A small quantity ofcarbolic acids
recommended to be used in white
wash and in paste FOR laying paper
hangings. 1t will repel G9ckroaches
and other insects, and also neut."allze
the disagreeable odor consequent up
on the decomposition Of the paste.

Corn for Green Fodder.

The practice Of planting about an
acre of thickly planted corn for every
twenty COWS in the dairy is we are
glad to note, on the increase. 1t is
as yet an open question whether the
short sweet corn is not better for this
purpose than the common yellow or
large growing kinds. Itclaimed that
the small growth Of the former is full
ly compensated BY the increased per-
centagc of saccharine matter which
it contains. In either case we would
advise that it should be planted in
rows three or four feet apart, and the
grains from three to fiveinches apart
in the row, according to the strength
Of the ground, We know many who
prefer to SOW it more thickly in the
row, under the impression that they
thus secure q greater amount of fod-
der. While We are willing to admit
the validity Of the claim so far us the
amount is concerned, we must also
claim that practical experience dur
ing a number ofyoars has thoroughly
convinced us that the thinly sown,
though it may be deficient in bulk,
is superior in nourishmont and but
ter producing power. 1t will always
pay to defer feeding the crop until it
is out in tassel, after which time two
armloads contain more actual nour-
ishment than three at previous
stage of the growth. This brings it
ready for feeding during the dry
weather Of midsummer,

Fire clay is a silicate of alumina which may be usfd for general purposes, when containing about 60 parts of silica to p of alumina, say 10 of water ill combination and not more than , of iron and other substances. Alumina is an oxide of the metal aluminium and does not alloy with lead; with the latter metal sileX forms a silicate of lead unIer high heats: hence for smelting lead ores a clay should be selected contain ing larger proportion of alumina.

THAT some of the Indians are improving very fast in civilization is very evident from a recel | report of the Board of Indian Commissioners, that is quite grat- if, ing to the friends of the red men, for it shows that in 1868 the houses occupied by Indians mum bered but 7i76. while in 1876 they numbered 54,717. There were then on the reservations but III schools and now there are 34. There were then 4,71S pupils attending school; there are TOW no le than 27,215native scholars. Out of about 266,000 Indians the Board estimates that over 100000 wear citizene' dress. The Indians raised then 126, ,117 bushels of wheat and 467,- 3J3 bushels of corn; in 1876 they raised 463, ,054 bushels of wheat and :, ,229, 463 bushels of corn. They owned in 1868 but 26S3 sheep and 20,S90 swine; in 1876 they owned 417,295 sheep and 7,O76 hogs. All this is certainly very encouraging, and proves that under a proper policy. which shall hold out some Inducements to them to follow peaceful pursuits, a large per cent. of the red men may be saved to civilization.

Miscellaneous News.

At the office of Harris d Bennett, stock brokers, at 32415 Montgomery street, we saw some ore from the Stonewan Jackson mine, Globe district, Arizona. The vein tt the surface was about oae inch in width and now, at depth of less than tO1 feet. is from eight to nine inches. BesiIes the rich streak there is over thirty feet of ore in the ledge, assaying from $40 to $500 per ton. They are shipping ore here and workingit, which costs s1OO per ton freight. The first ton worked yielded $19,95O. Lo- cations on the north have found the same vein, and the Robert E. Lee, adjoining on the south, was sold this week to a Sun Francisco company which will immediately proceed to develo their mine- Post.

RUNNING AMUCK.
One Desperate Killed and One Se-
 rieuSly Wounded.

Yesterday afternoon quite ripple of ex-
 citement was created in our usually quiet
 town by the appearance of two genuine border ruffians on our streets. They first
 made themselves troublesome at Jackson & Tomkins' saloon, where they drew their revolvers and fourished them in threaten ing manner. Col. Mccall, who happened to
 be there, was covered with the pistols sev- eral times and told that if he opened his
 mouth they would let daylight through
 him, and he wisely kept still. They then
 commenced firing 1t dog, and afterward
 mounting their horses rode down Monte-
 zuma street at full gallop, yelling like de-
 mons %nl firing right and lelt at everything
 that showed itself, the bullets whistling in
 unpleasant proximity to several persons
 who were on the street. John Raible's dog
 was the only thing Lit by them. Proceed ing on down the street they stopped at the
 outskirts of the town and reloaded their weapons.
 Marshal Standefer and Colonel Mccall armed themselves and got in Duprez'S ba- rouche and started in pursuit. Sheriff Bowers and Frank Murray, city marshal, also armed themselves, and mounting their horses started after them. Standefcr and Mccall passed the rutiians on the fiat near Moves old mill, so as to get on the other side and head them off. Sheriff Bowers and Murray came up on this side, and the sherff ordered them to throw up their hands and surrender, instead of which they opened fire on him. Tullos, one of the deSperadoes. slid off his horse and fired three shots at Bowers, all of them coming pretty close, when charge of buckshot from the Sheriff $ gun brought him down. Marshal Standefer also emptied load into him. Running across the road TullOs got under the bushes and commenced to load his revolver, still refusins to surrender, when shot from the sheritf's revolver stretched him out lifeless. Vaughn, his kept firing away, but was soon brought down by bullet in his head, but Was not killed There was sU much shoot ing going on that it is almost impossible to tell who fired the fatal shots. The horse Sheriff Bowers rode was shot in the hind quarters: this was the only harm that befell the pursuing party.
 The dead and wounded were brought to The sheriff office and from thence Vaughn, the wounded one, was taken to the hospital, where he now lies, still conscious but Dr. Day says he cannot live more than two or three days. He is the same person who was employed by James Patterson to stand guard on the road to the Peck mine. From , letter found on the body of the one killed lis name was ascertained to be Robert rullos, of stephenville, Erath county, Texas md that he did not bear very enviable' reputation there-T Enterprise, Oct.

A Brave Engineer.

A little railroad accident recently occur red at the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Day ton station, which might have been serious but for the prompt action of Engineer Whalen. The theater train was standing in the station nearly full of passengers and the engine, detached, standing some dis tance in front of it, when freight train was, by some blunder, backed down at rapid rate directly toward the passenger train. Fortunately Billy Whalen, the elgi- ncer in charge of the engine, saw the situa- tion and, understanding the.danger, sprang at once into the engine which was yet de- tached from the passenger train, and turning on full steam shot her ahead into the rear of tie coming freight train The shock was a terrible one. The trucks of the rear car of the freight train climb up the front of the engine; the headlight of Whalen's locomotive was smashed and considerable other damage incurred. The bold Billy was badly shocked but the force of the freight train was checked, and though it struck the passenger train, driv- ing it back to the rear of the depot and shaking up the passengers at pretty lively rate, none of them were seriously injured, for which they may thank the quick witted and brave Billy Whalen. Such an action requires more true heroism than is en- bodied in thousand strikes-Cincinnati (O) Enquirer.
