cess for making paper lumber at half the

burning at all, and it is not affected by
water: can be sawed and worked as any
other lumber. and can be handsomely

still seriously in earnest about his saliva

among other things sold little new rum,
but was his own best customer. Mr.. Al

said he could not afford to lose what rum
he had on hand. Finally Allen agreed to
buy it if he would seek the Lord then

himself AS they knelt down the minis

the town Of Geneva, Lander county, Ne.

ted, at the mouth Of Birch Cree6 Canon,
some ten miles distant over the mountains
and about fifteen miles around by way of
Smoky Valley. Not soul lives there /;
a few wood choppers and haulers live a
little up the creek. but the town site is de-
serted. The walls Of three or four stone
buiings still remain TO indicate the spot
whoreon a city stood. The road that is
traversed by the wood teams was once
the main street Of the town of Geneva,
and no trace of any other street remains;
they have fallen back into the desert, and
the cayote roams amid the ruins undis-
turbed tho trout payfully gambol in
the stream, and seldom sees human
form the rabbits burrow meath the walls
ol what once were stately mansions. All
is ruin and decay. All this has transpired

PERHAPS one OF the most appropriate
uses of an old fruit can that can be de-
vised, is to make it contribute to the
growth of new fruit 10 fill new cans. This
is done in the following manner: The
can is pierced with one or more pin-h holes,
and then sunk in the Garth near the roots
Of the strawberry or tomato OF other
plants. The pin,holes are to be of such
size that when the can is filed with water
the fluid can only escape into the ground
very slowly. Thus quart can, proper

the plant through period of several days;
the can is then reflled. Practical trials

THE FATE OF HERD OF BUFFALeEs.
An army officer who recently arrived
in Chicago from the Yellowstone Valley
tells story OF what happened to herd
of buffsloes as they were migating SOUTH
ward. The herd numbered $500 head,
and had been driven out Of the Milk
River country by the Indian hunters be-
longing to Sitting Bulls band. When
they reached the river they ventured up
on the ice with their customary conf
dence, coming upon it with solid front
and beginning the crossing with closed
ranks. The stream at this point was
very deep. When the front file, which
was stretched out quarter ola mile in
length, had nearly gained the opposite
shore, the ice suddenly gave way under
them. Some trappers Who were eye
witnesses of the scene said it seemed a. i!
trench had been opened in the ice the
whole length of the column. Some four
or Ave hundred animals tumbled into the
opening all in heap. Others fell in on
top of them and sunk out Of sight in a
t@inkling. By this time the rotten ice
was breaking under the still-aovancing
herd. The trappers say that in less than
minute the whole body OF bufaoes had
been precipitated into the river. They
were wedged in so thickly that they
could do nothing but struggle for Sec
ond and then disappear beneath the cakes
Office Of the swift current. Not a beast
IN that mighty herd tried to escape, but
in q solid phaianx they marched to their
fatal bath in the " Big Muddy" In a
minute from the time the ice broke not a
buffalo's head or tai was to be seen.
