whole vi it in the barrel. Stir with a
long pole and call the children up im~
mediately. AS fast as they drink, fill the
barrel with cold water. The beverage
thus made is cheap IF the lemon is
bought at wholcssle). and is quite
healthy. 1t contains no pain. and is
much sought after by indulgent mothers
and young lovers. Picnic lemonade
differs from the church fair article by
having the water little fresher.

q Marrow Escape

a writer in the Boston Jouradl
tells the story Of the fight at
Turner's Falls between the early
settlers of Massachusetts, and
the Indians. The whites attack
ed an Indian village and routed
the savages. who, however, ral-
lied and forced their antagonists
te retreat. One Jonathan " ellis
encountered many obstacles in
making his escape.
He was severely wounded in
his hip and got widely separated
from his companions. He finally
left his horse, and using his gun
for a crutch, dragged his useless
LEG along, suffering actually all
the while.
At last having crossed the
river not tar from where the
Connecticut river railroad now
crosses that stream atthe place
now known as Cheapside, he saw
an Indian padding Il canoe for
him. He aimed his gun at him
though it was unloaded, wet and
full Of sand, when the red man
leaving his own gun, jumped
into the water and escaped.
Wells knew that he should
now have the whole pack laying
on him, and as 4 last desperate
eXpedient 70 escape, went into
the swamp, which then lay
whcro theprescntrailroad bridge
stands and the aforementioned
wooded hill, or island in the
midst Of the meadows. There
he found Il pile Of drift-wood,
bushes, leaves and sticks; under
this he crawled, and although
the Indians passed and repassed
the spot many times, and actual
ly stood on the pile, they failed
to discover him, and ut last
Withdrew, and he escaped.
After the greatest exertions.
and all most dying with hunger,
he finally reached Hatfield, to
the astonishmant Of all his
friends, who supposed him dead.

Shoe leather has desecrated tho foo,

Shoe leather has .desecrated tho floor
of the Mikado's palace in Toxic. As
the Echo tells tie story, DR.. Miller.
the chief physician Of the Prrssian
general staff. recently went to Japan to
help to organize military academy.
When the hour came for his presenta-
ton to the Mikado he naturally clothed
himself in full uniform. The court Off
cials informed him that he could not
be permitted to enter the awful pres
ence unless he complied with the Japa-
nese usage and pulled of his boots. Dr.
Miller refused to comply, but hit upon
the ingenious notion of casting all the
responsibility upon the Emperor Will
helm. "My master, the German Kais-
er," said he, commanded me to presen
myself before the august En peror of
Japan in full Prussian uniform. Now,
the boots csnsfitute an important part
of the uniform, and I dare not appear
as his representative without these nc
cessories." The chamberlain went to
the Makido with this explanation, aud
the result was that Dr.. Miller marched
into the audience chamber in his boots.

A OhvSician writes the follow

A physician writes the follow
ing sensible advice: My pro-
.ession has thrown me among
women Of all classes, and my eX-
perience teaches me that God
never gave man greater proof
Of His love than to place women
here with him. My advice is
Go, propose to the most sensible
girl you know. If she says yes,
tell her how much your income
is, from what source derived,
and tell her yen will divide the
last shilling with her, and love
her with all your heart in the
bargain. And then keep your
promise. My word for it, she
will live within your income,
and to your last hour you will
regret you did not marry sooner.
Don't worry about feminine cx-
traya gance and feminine untruth.
Just you be true. to her, love
her sincerely, and throw it up
to her frequently, and q more
fond, faithful, foolish slave you
will never meet anywhere. You
won't deserve her, | know, but
she will never see it. Now throw
aside pride and selhshness, and
see what will come Of it.

an abode wall eight feet high
and TWO feet thick. In the corral
the herd was nightly secured.
He had a contract to feed and
guard four hundred beef cattle
belonging to the United States
fort, some thirty miles away.
More than one attempt had been
made by the Apaches to capture
the herd, while feeding two or
three miles from the block
house. But the vlgilant herds
man had driven the cattle at a
gallop into the corral, before the
Indians could stampede them.
One night there came a fear
ful storm, A solitary Apache,
unarmed, and with nothing but
a blanket to protect him from
the cold rain, climbed over the
corral's wall; crouching in the
corner, he waited for day.
Early IN the morning the
storm having passed away, eight
herdsmen, mounted and armed,
waited at the corral's gate for
the herd to be turned out.
The gate was opened. The
stock poured out and filled the
gateway. Suddenly up sprung
the Apache; vaultlng on the
nearest horse, he clutched its
mane with one hand, while with
the other he waved his red
blanket, and yelled like demon.
In an instant every hoof made
a rush; and the stampede began.
The horse, frightened, darted in
the midst of the flying cattle.
Asin frenzy they went through
The gateway, the Apache clasped
his arms around the horses
neck, and, throwing his body on
one side Of the maddened ami
NAL, disappeared from view.
A thousand men ranged in
column could not have stopped
that rush of the crazed herd
down the valley. The herdsmen
fire a voiley which wounds and
killed some OF the cattle.
Two bands OF Apaches, darting
out from opposite sides Of the
valley, closed up from behind
the herd. Four hundred head Of
cattle were thus captured and
run off by the daring and cum
ning Of one Apache.

l Iam not over-stating the case
when | declare that a little girl,
simple, sweet, innocent, uncon-
sclous of herself and willing to
be guided by her parents, is just
now a very lovable, but, alas! a
very rare treasure. More than
one mother is puzzled by the
problem, "How am | to bring up
my daughter so that she shall
preserve until her dawning
womanhood the sweet charm Of
childish delicacy untouched and
unthreatened?" Little maids Of
ten and twelve going to school
with their primary grammars
and arithmetics in their dimpled
hands, blush and simper if a boy
happens to pass. Little girls
sitting by windows, sewing up
seams under their mothers di-
rection, have their attention di-
verted by the apparition of
neighbor's son on his way to
the post-office. The commonist
courtesy cannot be extended by
!; little gentleman to a little lady
without some other child, and
perhaps some silly grown per-
son, Icing prompted to talk Of
"Susie's beau" Children who
should play together like child
rem, and not firt and coquette
like premature men and women,
have gone quite beyond the stage
or being juvenile.

Tho Daring Apache.

An instance of what an Apache
Indian will do in the way of cool
daring, when the prize is worth
the risk, once occurred on a
ranch in Arizona.
The owner Of the ranch was
an American. To guard against
the Apaches he had built a block
house, and, adjoining it, a court
yard, and corral, surrounded by

There is a story that Il man
went into a New buryport liquor
store and called for two quarts
OF rum, protesting that it was
for the purpose OF soaking some
roots. After the delivery Of the
liquor the dealer inquired, What
roots?' The roots OF my tongue
said the man, but it was too late.
The pangs of death from prus

shoot those who tried to force an

vt Nice q curious question has
arisen between the Jesuits and
the municipal authorities, in
which a considerable sum OF
money is involved. An Ameri-
can lady, a convert to Roman
Catholicism, left SG0.000 to the
church of Father Lavigne on
condition that she should be
buried within the precincts of
the edifce. The municipal au-
thorities opposed such q step as
beng against their health regula-
tions, but the ecclesiastical lega-
tees thought to get over the
difficulty TO barry the heart only
in the church. The family, how
ever, will not permit the body to
be cut. This is the present state
Of the problem, which is causing
great perturbation in the minds
OF the Jeouits.
