PRACTICAL

In this country, where SO much money,

girls fancy educations, and artificial wants
and tastes, to fit them for companions of
rich and sporting men, to the neglect Of fit.
ting them for armers' and workingmen's"
wives and mothers, it is gratifying to know
that at the Iowa Agricultural college every
girl in the junior class has learned how to-
make good bread, weighing and measuring
their ingredients, mixing, kneeding and
baking, and regulating her fire. Each has
also been taught to make yeast and bake
biscuit, buildings, pies and cake of various
kinds how to cook a roast, broil a steak
and make a fragrant cup Of coffee; how to
stuff and roast a turkey, make oyster soup,
prepare stock for other soups, steam and
mash potatoes so that they will melt in the
mouth, and, in short, to get up a first-class
meal, combining both substantial and fancy
dishes, in good style. Theory and manual
skill have gone hand-in-hand. Vast stores
of learning have been accumulated in the
arts OF canning, preserving and packing
fruits, and they have taken practical lessons
in all the details of household management,
such as house furnishing, care of beds and
bedding, washing and ironing, care OF the
sick, care of children, etc. The girls, we
are informed, are also thoroughly grounded
in science, mathematics and English litera-
ture; but this is of slight moment compared.

there is anything that challenges the unllm-
tied respect and devotion of the masculine

BABYLON.

The traveller who is fortunate enough to
see Babylon in April cannot call it desolate.
The date groves and gardens along the
banks Of the Euphrates are then things of
beauty in their fresh spring verdure, anu
the plain itself is laid down with crops. Irri-
cation bitches cross it here and there, and
give trouble to the horsemen. No grass
grows upon the mounds, and there are
patches Of the level white with the nitre
which is to be found here as in other parts
of Mespotamia but the surface Of the soil
is on the whole green and pleasant to the
Eeye. The glad waters of the river flow iii
the bright morning sunshine, with palm and
mulberry hanging over Its banks, drinking
in sap and life. The great city which count
ed its population by millions, and filled the
world with a renoWn not yet forgotten, and
disappeared under the dust OF twenty cen
turtles; but nature is as fresh and jocund as
when Babylon was still unbuilt. Birds sing
overhead in the pleasant spring air butter
flies flutter about in search of flowers, and
balnly odors regale the sense.

TEMPLES.

An the great temples of Egypt which
havewithstood the destructive tendencies of
time and the ,assaultso of man for tour thou
sane years are Of hewA stone. But the only
wood in or about them Is in the form of ties,
holding the end of one stone to another on
its upper surface. When two blocks are
laid i'll place, then it appears that an exca-
vatlon about an inch deep is made in each
block, into which an hour-glass-shaped tie
was driven. 1t is therefore very difficult to-
force any stone from its position. The ties
appear to have been the tamarisk, or chit
tim wood, a sacred tree in ancient Egypt,
and now very rarely found in the valley Of
the Nile. Those dovetail ties are just as
sound now as on the day OF their insection.

Great truths are dearly bought. The sommont truth
Such as men give and take from dayto day,

Blown by the careless wind across our way.

If you would pass for more than your

"WHY IS IT." asks a correspondent, "that
if Leadville is as bad a place us you describe
it, we never see any of the people who go
there, come backY' Oh, well. that is easily
enough explained. When a young man sets
out for Leadville, he arrays himself con-
spicuously for a day or two prior to his de-
parture, then he has the fact of his going,
and the train he will take announced in the
village paper, and at the appointed time
goes rafting down to the depot in an open
carriage two hours before train time. and
swaggers up and down the platform while
he waits, aild as the train starts he leans out
of the window and yells personal good-byes
to all on the platform. But when he comes
back he times his return so as to strike lls
native town by a back road, after dark,
then he sneaks home through the alleys,
climbs over the back fence, taps at the back
kitchen window and begs, under his breath,
to be let in !; when he gets in he stays in
bed three Or four days, while his new clothes
are being made and the doctor is trying to
count the blisters on his feet. Oh, it's easy
to explain why he never sees them come
back but they do-come back, allthe same.

BY EUGENE j. A L

You may envy the joy o. the farmer,
And talk o. his free, easy life
You may sit ut his bountiful table,
AN praise his industrious wife;
Ef YOU worked in the woods in the winter,
Or followed the tuTrow all day,
With a team o. unTuly young oxen,
AM feet heavy-loaded with clay
Ef you held the old plow, Pm a thinkin'
You'd sing in a different way.
You may dream o. the white-crested daisies,
An ltllieS that wear sech a charm;
Bat it gives me d heap o. hard labor
To keep 'eln from spoilin' my farm.
You may pictcr the skies in their splendor,
The landscapes so full o. repose;
An | never get time to look at 'em,
Except when it rains or it SHOWS.
You may sing o'ssthe song birds o. summer;
IN tend to the hawks and the crows.
You may write O. the beauties o. Natur'
AM dwell on the pleasures o. toll;
But the good things VIC hev on the table
All hcv to be dug from the soil.
An our beautiful, bright golden butter,
Perhaps you may never hev learned,
Makes 81 pile o. hard work for the wimmin'-
1t has to be keerfully churned.
An the cheese so plump in the pantry,
All hev to be lifted and turned.
When home from the bayfield,, in summer,
With stars cleaning over my head
When l milk by the light o. my lantern,
AM YEARLY crawl into bed
When l think o. the work o. the morrow,
An worry for fear 1t might rain.
While l list to the roll o. the thunder,
An hear my companion complain
Then it seems as if life was a burden,
With little to hope fur or gain.
But the corn must be planted in spring-time,
The weeds must be kept from the ground,
An the hay must be cut in the meader,
The wheat must be Graded an bound
Fur we never are out of employment,
Except when we lie in bed.
All the wood must he chopped in the winter,
An patiently piled in the shed;
An the grain must be snaked to the market,
The stock must be watered and fed
But the farmer depends only

BY turnin' and tillin' the sod.
When his wearisome work is all over,
With conscience all spotless and clear,

To we'll in a holier spheres:

SIOUX lett thirteen of their number on the
field. They also say tina all of the Grow
scouts have abandoned Crook, as he does
not tight to suit them. That engaged in the
fight with Crook, were two hundred IndS
an alles-Crows, Pawnees and Snakes-and
five companies of soldiers, (about 40 men).
1t looks as though Crook will have to call
for reinforcements. We are not feeling very
jubilant.
Sandy returned on July sth, having lost
his rifle, and thoroughly cured of any de-
sire he may have had for carrying dispatches.
He says that he went up to the Little Big
Horn, and at it's mouth he made a raft on
which to cross. The current swept him out
into the Big Horn where his horse pulled
away from him. The rapidly running water
carried his raft under an overhanging tree
and scraped him off into the river. His
rifle went to the bottom, and lie reached the
shore hatless and barefooted, in a country
covered with cactus. Pulling off his clothes
he Wrung them out, and sat drying himself
On the river bank when he was discovered
by a party Of Sioux. The country is so
broken, SO cut up by deep ravines near the
river, that they could not reach him on their
horses, and he was fortunately enabled to
get away. Following down the stream,
picking his way among the thlckly strewn
cactus, he concealed himself as night APP
preached in q cluster OF smsl1, pines. The
party OF Sioux, to his dismay, camped with
in two hundred yards Of him, luckily una
ware Of his presence. He finally made his
way to the mouth of the Big Horn and call
ed for assistance. His story is doubted
somewhat.
The same day that Sandy returned o.
notice was posted or a tree calling for vol
unteers to carry dispatches to Crook. Bell,
Evans and Stewart, Co. g., eth infantry,
offered themselves. and are to start tonight.
Stewart and Evans went down the river
early in June from the mouth of the Rose
bud without any hope of reward. This is a
much more dangerous undertaking, and it
will be a "scratch" if they get through.
They are all three cool, determined men,
and good shots.
On the 9th a courier came in from Powder
river with a dispatch from Gen. Sheridan tc
the effect that Crook, though claiming !
victory, had in reality been defeated. Col
Guy Y. Heny had been shot in the head, the
ball entering near the ear on one side and
passing out near the ear on the other.
So the matter stands just this way: Gus
ter, with five companies of the 7th cavalry,
blotte6 out of existence Crook has met
with a defeat, been forced back to his train,
and is calling for help, and we can thank
our good fortune that we had, in the person
of Gen. Gibbon, a leader too wise to be
caught in the trap set for us in May by our
willy enemies. Our little army of 393 men
would have been destroyed or penned up
as were Custer and Reno, and, if failing to
finish us at once, they had surrounded lis
on the 10Th of May, there could have been
no rescue for us, and the griet that now
darkens Fort Lincoln would lave hung like
a cerement over Forts Shaw, Ellis and
Camp Baker.
