HOW the American AbOrigines dis.
posed of Their Dead,

The modes of disposing of the bodies
OF the dead In use among the aboripines
OF America are clsssed by Mr.. Edwin a
Barber, in the Naturalist, under four
heads, viz: inhumation, crem alton, EN-.
balmment, and aerial sepulture. or
these, the first was most usually em.
ployed, the bodies being inferred either
in ordinary graves, in mounds, or in
caves. Several tribes, among them the
Lenni-L -Lenape, or Delawares, were accus.
toned to incase their dead in stone boxes,
or tombs. In tumulus-burial, the dead
were generally laid near the original level,
OF the surface, and the mound heaped
over them. Only isolated instances of
cave-burial have been sigualized in the
United States, as in Breckenridge county,
Kentucky, and in the canyons of Utah
Arizona, and New Mexico, Crem alton
was of two kinds-in graves and in urns.
Among the Pueblos of Arizona and
Utah the body was sometimes burned.
and the ashes deposited in shallow tombs.
Several tribes on the Gila river, in South
ern Arizona, burned the bones of the
dead in urns. But few cases of embalm-
ing are known to have occurred in the
limits of the United States. As exam
pies of this mode of preparing the corpse
may be mentioned the Mammoth Cave
and Salt Cave mummies of Kentucky.
These bodies have been preserved by
rude species of embalmment and by ex-
siccation. Aerial sepulture was of two
kinds-the first by suspension on scaf-
folds or in trees, the second by sepulture
in canoes. Several tribes still employ
the former mode Of burial. The Sioux
elevate the bodies of their dead into
trees, OF stretch them out on raised plat
forms, wrapping them in blankets and
leaving them to the mercies of the ele-
ments and carnivorous birds.-PopuEar

An Incident Of the Night After the

When, on myreturn tn Mary's Heights,

there appeared to be thin line of SOL
diers sleeping on the ground to be occu-
pied. They seemed to make a sort Of
row or rank. It.was as if line of skir-
mishers had halted and lain down. They
were perfectly motionless; their sleep was
profound. Not one Of them awoke and
got up. They were not relieved, either,
when the others came. They seemed to
have no commandment least none awake.
Had the fatigues of the day completely

Yates alike2 They were nearest the ene-

did not waken. If you looked closely at
the face of any one of them, in the mist
and dimness, it was paid, the eyes closen,
the mouth open, the hair was disheveled ;
besides, the attitude was often painful.
There were blood marks, also. These
men were all dead. Nevertheless, the
new comers lay down among them and
rested. The pail of night concealed the
foe now. The somber uncertainty Of fate
cnveloped the morrow. One was saved
from the peril of the charge, but he found

Cider and Vinegar.

We are asked, says the Des Moines
Register, if cider can be kept sweet. 1t
certainly can, but it is far more useful
sour, in which state it is good substi.
tute for the unhealthy and cut-throat
vinegar made of muriatic acid and corn.
But cider can be kept sweet by heating
mot bOiling) and hermetically sealing in
the same manner as canning fruits. The
best method is TO fill bottles with per-
fectly sweet cider, and set them on a
board, in flat-bottomed boiler "a COM
mon clothes boiler will do) with cold
water. Then heat until the cider begins
to run over, but not boil. Then cork
tightly and seal as you would fruits.
Then set away in cool cellar until it is
needed for use. We have heard several
other ways, none of which can we in
dorse. One is to put in the cider a large
quantity of ground mustard seed; and
another is to put in three-quarters of a
pound OF sugar to each gallon in the
barrel, and then add the sixth of an
ounce of sulphite (not sulphate) of lime
to each gallon. But for use this is a
hard drink. Hard cider is one of the
worst and meanest of intoxicating bev.
erages, and no man who has any respect
for himself, or proposes to set good ex.
ample for his sons, should tolerate its
use. But boiled cider SO persistently
furnishes its psrtakers with headache,
there is no need of additional warning.
But apples have been, and are yet, in
many places, plenty, and every family
should have their vinegar barrel replen.
ished with the choicest vinegar. If no
cider is made on the farm, the vinegar
barrel can be filled by the proper use of
the apple peelings. Almost every fami-
ly in the State use apples enough, if they
would save the peelings and cores, to
constantly keep pure and healthy vim
egar. Have jar, and throw all the
peelings in, with soft water; and so soon
as they thoroughly ferment, squeeze out
the juice, and put it in the vinegar bar
rel. Then as apples are used, fill up the
jar again. 1t is hard times, yet families
who are hard pressed waste slops Of tea,
apple peelings, and the juice where fruits
are cooked, ETC., and then purchase vim
egar strong and poisonous enough 10 take
the lining off of stove-pipe. This in,
famous chemical vinegar is good enough
for such families as are too careless of the
raw materials which go to waste about
their houses, to make an abundance of
good vinegar. Let such alone. But
there may be many good housewives who
do not know how easily they can always
have an abundance of the best of vim
egar.

A FRENCH NOVEL IN ONE CHAPTER.--
Here is the story OF an unfortunate young
lawyer. This unlucky wight was head
over heels in love with beautiful young
girl, and was about to be married to her.
On the eve of the wedding day he was
called on to defend an awful miscreant--
man of thirty, who had poisoned his
mother and father. The case seemed
lost one, and when the prosecution had
closed, the young lawyer was just about
giving up the struggle without an effort.
Suddenly he perceived in the far ex-
tremity of the court room his beloved
and her parents, who had come to see
what kind Of stuff he was made Of. The
presence of the one he worships changes
his train of thoughts. He feels that be

Mrs. Sherman to be HonOred.

1t is rumored that the Pope intends
testifying his appreciation of Mrs. Sher-
mans zeal, in raising up the largest sub
scription sent by the Romanists of any
one nation in honor of his Jubilee, by
presenting her with the Golden Rose,
with which only sovereigns, churches or
cities have been honored heretofore. In
deed, it is said that only three times has
Plus TX. given this honorable symbol to
any one. One Of the three he had SO
honored are Maria Teresa, formerly
Queen of Naples, to whom he gave it as,
a testimony of his appreciation of the
kindness and affection with which she
aud her royal consort, Ferdinand, re-
ceived him at Gaeta, when he fled from
Rome in 1S48. The Empress Eugenie
received the second, and Elizabeth, En-
press Of Austria, the third. The rose is
made of gold of the purest quality and
fashioned by skillful artist. The fourth
Sunday IN Lent is set apart for the bless
ing of the Golden Rose by the Sovereign
Pontitf, who sends it to a prince, princess,
church or city, as pledge of his pater-
nal affection. 1t seems as far back as
the eleventh and twelfth centuries the
Popes used to carry golden rose when
walking In procession on Laetare Sun
day, but antiquarians do not agree as to
its origin. Alexander III. sent one to-
wards the end of the twelfth century, to
Louis VII, of France, in acknowledge
ment Of the services the king had rem
dered to the Church. Pope Julius H..
sent one in 1910 to Henry VIII. By this
record, which have found in Catholic
work entitled "The Sacraments," it will
be seen that if the rumor is correct as TO
the Pope's intentions to bestow the rose
on Mrs. Sherman, she will be the first
individual in private life who has received
so distinguished an honor.-Graphic's
Warrington Correspondence.

On this fair valleys verdaRt breast
The calm, sweet rays Of summer rest
And doye.like peace benignly broods
On its smooth lawns and solemn woods.
A century since, in fame and smoke,
The storm Of battle DER 1t broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed
These pleasant fields were strewn with dead
Stark, quick to act and bold to dare,
And Warren's mountain band were there,
And Allen, who had flung the pen
Aside 10 lead the Berkshire men.
With fiery onset, blow on blow,
They rushed upon the embattled foe,
And swept his squadrons from the vale
Like leaves before the autumn gale.
Oh, never may the purple stain
or combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fair valley ever cease
To wear the placid smile Of peace!
Yet here, beside that battle-fi field,
We plight the vew that, ere we yield
The rights for which our fathers bled,
Our blood shall steep the ground we tread.
