Heroism of Montenegrin Women.

Montenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men 70
family and country, and display much
of the same valor. Goptchevitch sup
plies two most remarkable examples.
4 sister and four brothers, the four OF
course all armed, are making a pilgri-
mage or excursion to a church. The
state of war with the Turk being nor
NAL, we need not wonder when we
learn that they are attacked unawares
on their way, in a pass where they pro-
ceed in single file, by seven armed
Turks, who announce themselves by
shooting dead the first of the brothers
and dangerously wounding the second.
The odds are fearful, but the fight
proceeds. The wounded man leans
against the rock, and though he re-
ceives another fatal shot, kills two of
the Turks before he dies. The sister
presses forward, and grasps his rifle
and his dagger. At last all are killed
on both sides, excepting herself and a
single Turk. She asks for mercy; and
he promises it, but names her maidenly
honor as the price. Indignant, and
perceiving that now he is of his guard,
she stabs him with the dagger. He
tears it from her hand, they close, and
she dashes the wretch over the preci-
pice into the yawning depth below. The
second anecdote is not less singular.
Tidings reach MOntenegrin wife tnat
her husband had just been slain by a
party under the command of certain
Aga. knowing the road by which
they are travelling, she seizes a rifle,
chooses her position, and shoots the
Aga dead. The rest of the party take
to flight. The wife of the dead Aga
sends her an epistle. Thou hast
robbed me of both mine eyes. Thou art a
genuine daughter of Tsernagora. Come
tomorrow alone to the border-line, and
we will prove by trial which of US was
the better wife" The Tsernagorine
appeared, equipped with the arms of the
dead Aga, and alone, as she was in
vited. But the Turkish woman had
thought prudence the better part of
valor, and brought an armed champion
with her, who charged her on horse
back. She shot him dead as he ad-
vanced, and, seizing her faithless
antagonist, bound her and took her
home, kept her as a nurse-maid for
fourteen years, and then let her go back
TO her place aud people. Nineteenth

Tie Digestire PrOcess.-A case some
what similar to that of the Canadian
trapper, Alexis st. Martin,-in whom a
permanent opening into the stomach
had been accidentally made by gun

servers most that is known of the di-
gestive process-has occurred in Paris.

operation of gastrotOmy was resorted
to. and food reduced TO pulp was in

IN the abdominal wall. From observa-

published in Complies Rendas, it ap-
pears that the pulp consisting of meat,
starch, and fatty matters, remains in
the stomach for three or four hours.
Milk disappears In from one and half

hours the stomach Is empty, but hunger
is not felt for two hours, and hence

Young Charley Overblower married
about a month ago, and when lie came
back from his wedding tour he and his
pretty little wife, Emma, took posses
sion of charming flat uptown. Early
one evening, after they were fairly set
tied, and the last of Emma's sisters
had been induced to conclude her visit,
Charley proposed TO Emma that they
should go to the theatre. The little
woman assented, and both began to
amend their toilets. In few moments
Charley said; Darling, | am sorry to
trouble you; but really | think | shall
be obliged to have to ask you to sew 4
button on this shirt"
"Of course; why not? said Emma,
delighted at chance TO show her skill.
She took the garment, seated herself,
and said II can't remember for the
life of me where | put those buttons.
Charley, look in that box and see if you
can find one"
Charley looked in the box, which
was case of perfume bottles, and not
finding the desired article, concluded
he would not bother Emma for fur
ther information so he pulled button
from another shirt.
Nov, Charley" said Emma, ''loOk in
the top bureau drawer and get me
paper of needles and a spool of cotton
be sure to get the white cotton"
Charley found in the top bureau
drawer copy of TennysOn-he re-
membered it well, and picked it up and
looked at the marginal marks and COM
ments, dear affectiOnate little girl that
she was :-and more perfume bottles,
and pattern of Flor de Fumar over
skirt and the beginning of a sofa cush-
ion, and various other things, but no
needle or cotton. Then he remembered
he had fancy housewife" that he
had bought from girl at fair, and
he got needles and cotton cut of that.
''Thank you, dear" said Emma, and
she began TO stitch vigorously, hum
ming "a dreamy Italian air. Presently
she said: ''Oh, Charley, won't you
bring me the scissors? / think they
in my writing desk. | had them there
to-day cutting poem out of paper"
The scissors were not in the writing
desk, nor on the mantel, nor in the top
bureau drawer, nor in the case of per-
fume bottles, nor even in the hair re-
ceiver, so CSarley drew out his ''house-
wife" again. Emma took the scissors,

MAKING Old Bones"

People who neglect their minor ailments
rarely live to make old bones. The secret Of

Indigestion, bowel and liver complaints are
fruitful causes of injury to the constitution.
These diseases should be, therefore. checked
without decay. The best medicine Tor the pur-

One Of the great blessing the tele-
phone is destined to confer upon hu-
manity is the equalization of forces.
The delicious sense of personal security
enjoyed by man of diminutive stature
when he stands off a few thousand

only be appreciated by the dog that
barks at the man in the moon.

Tbourht, for Young men,

The true man is the happy man.
There will ever be place Tor virtue
Times chariot wheels make 'heii
road i'm the fairest faces.
In the commerce of speech use only
coin of gold or silver.
Love is the ladder on which we eiimr
to the likeness of God.
The greatest truths are the Simplest
So are the greatest men.
Born, lived, and died, sum up the
great epitone of man. =,
One must do more when one Is OLD
than when one is young.
They who have light in themselves
will not reyolve around satellites.
Some good, loving, self-sacrificins
deed, will transform the homeliest face
into beauty and sanctity.
A little management may often evade
resistance, which vast force might
yainly strive to overcome.
Pleasure like quicksilver is bright
and shy. If we try to grasp il, it still
eludes us and still shines.

LOVES WILL.
BIZ II. H. sroDDaRD.

Love always looks for love again;
If ever single, it is twain,
And till it finds its counterpart
1t bears about an aching heart
Glory is with itself content:
Wisdom, with what the gods have sent
But Love, whom they look down upon.
Fond fool will have all things or none
Who dare deny his high demands.
Let them beware, for he hath hands;
Strong hands hath Love, and swift to slsy
And feet that know themselves the way
To where his parted self may be.
'-Gs, find. and fetch her unto me-"
He cries, and straightway they are twain.
Love always will have love again.

How TO Use GRINDsToNE.-First
Don't waste the stone by running it in
water; but if yOu do, don't allow it IL
stand in water when not in use, as this
will cause soft place.
Second-Wet the stone by dropping
water on it by pot suspended above
the stone, and stop of the water when
not in use.
Third-Don't allow the stone to get
out of order, but keep it perfectly round
by the use OF gas pipe or hacker.
Fourth-Ciean of all greasy tools be-
fore sharpening, as grease or oil de-
stroys the grit.
Fifth-OOserye: When you get a
stone that suits your purpose, send a
sample of the grit TO the dealer TO select
by; haif-ounce sample is enough, and
can be sent in a letter by mail.

AGRICULTURAL.

TREE PLANTING.-In some portions OF
the State there exists desire that our
Legislature should do something to en-
courage the planting and protection OF
timber. This is mainly urged upon
four causes, viz: shade, shelter, profit
and influence on rainfall. The items
| of shade and shelter refer mainly TO
planting along our public roads. That
of profit only means plain and practi-
cal demonstration to reach the pockets
of the land owner. Ii t can be demon
strated that planting trees for timber
only pay them but little, legislation
Will be needed. The question of innu-
ence upon rainfall is as yet by no means
settled. Many accept without argu-
ment the theory that a rapid clearing off
of the forest is followed by a decrease
in the amount of annual rainfall; but
will the facts warrant this conclusion?
After fair examination we tail TO find
that there has been any material de-
crease on the annual rainfall in any
portion of our country, although in
some parts the removal of the timber
has been steady and rapid. On the
other hand we may point TO clear cases
in which the annual rainfall has in
creased nearly fifty per cent. in spite of
the removal of trees. The records OF
the Smithsonian Institute, at Washing
ton, prove that the annual rainfall of
the Salt Lake Valley has increased until
it is now nearly one half greater than it
fifteen years ago. The level of Salt
Lake, which has no outlet but by evapo-
ration, has steadily raised at an average
rate of fourteen inches per year, and
has already flooded thousands OF acres
of land. The Mormons have destroyed
many more trees than they ever
planted and yet, contrary to the usually
accepted theory, we have an increase in
annual rainfall. In many places along
the line of the UniJn and Central Paci-
tic railroads there has been a gradual
increase of rainfall in spite of decrease
of standing tim Der. In Nebraska springs
have shown themselves along the bluffs
which line the Missouri river, where
springs were never known before, and
Professor Aughey, who has travelled
over all parts of the State during the
last ten years, tells Us that the streams
extend further up the valleys than they
did ten years ago and that the streams
are more regular in size and volume,
not being subject to such sudden or yio
lent floods. lE view of these and other
facts which might be urged. we doubt
very much whether the time has yet
come for any legislation in this direc-
ton.

CoNvENIENCEs.-The successful far
mer is he who provides conveniences
for the care of his property and the per-
formance of his work; he counts time
as an important item in the yearly csl-
culatioE, and care of all his various
effects as factor in the annual returns.
When he puts the horse in the stable
there is place for the harness where it
will be safe from the weather or any
other damage; his wagons and tools are
provided with coverings to preserve
them; abaut his premises will be found
little shop or room where he keeps
saws, hammers, vices, augers and the
various tools that are needed TO mend
and put in order the different machines
lie uses. These simple articles prevent
days and weeks of delay. besides adding
to the length of the time implements
will last. 1t pays TO have conveniences.
and also to get what you do buy Ofgood

GAPEs IN CHICKENs.-We have learned
TO jest at gapes by making free Use of
cimphor. We give TO a chicken in a
very bad case a pill the size of small
garden pea. As soon as we see symp-
toms of gapes we give the birds water
to drink, which is strongly impregnated
with camphor, thus giving to the
chickens that which was a favorite
medicine with our great grandmothers,
"camphor julep." The treatment seems
to explain itself. The gapes or
"gaping" is caused by the presence of
small, red worms in the windpipe. No
medicine can reach them unless it does
so by vapor. An hour after the chicken
has swallowed the pill it smells of cam
phOr. Camphor is very strong vermi-
fuge, and the worms die.-LORdOR Cot

following: Put into an open pan l

Oxalic acid, and pounds water. Sus-
pend the vessel containing this mixture
in one of larger size containing water,
and boil until the contents of the inner
vessel are dissolved by the action of the
heat impaired by the boiling water
(this is the water bath process.) 1t
must then be diluted with 3 pounds OF
warm water. The mixture, when ap-
piled TO the surface of the wood, oxy-
dies and becomes insoluble, completely
closing the pores of the wood. 1t is
used for alcohol, and will neither crack
nor peel OFF.
