FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Blue ointment and kerosene, mixed
in equal proportions, and applied to
bedsteads, is an unfailing bedbug tem-
edy, and that coat of whitewash is
ditto for the walls of n log house.
Velvet Cakes. Make a batter of
one quart of flour, three eggs, one
quart of milk, one gill of yeast; when
well risen, stir in a large spoonful of
melted butter; bake in muffin rings.
Old Maid Bread. One quart of
-four, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of
lard, one teaspoonful of salt, one tea
cup of yeast, one cup of milk; make up
in soft dough; reserve one-third of
the -four for second rising.
Lemon Cheese Cakes.-Beat up
equal parts (say a quarter of a pound)
of sugar and butler, the yelks of two
and the white of one egg, with a finely
grated rind and the strained juice of
two lemons; line some patty pans with
puff paste, fill them with the mixture
and bake in a moderate oven.
Utilize the Carcass. When farm
er looses a horse, or OK, or any other
animal, instead of leaving the carcass
to be devoured by dogs or crows, he
should cover it with six or eight times
its bulk of earth, and thus arrest the
fertillzing gases which would otherwise
be thrown off. BY doing so he would
secure a quantity of manure worth five
times the trouble it would cost him.
Bubble and Squeak. from a
piece of boiled beef slices the thickness
of a penny piece, trim and cut them into
any shape, parts underdone being the
best; boil one large cabbage, one carrot,
one onion in salted water; when cooked
drain and mince them together very
fine, removing any hard parts of the
cabbage. Put into a sauce pan piece
of butter the size of an egg; when
melted put in the beef to warm, taking
care it does not dry; this done, remove
the meat and put in the vegetables; stir
on the fire until they are very hot,
moisten with little good stock, add
salt and pepper and little grated nut
meg; place them in the center Of the
dish, put the slices of beef all round,
pour over little stock and serve.
The Potato Bug. There is no rea-
son to doubt that this enterprising in
sect will be ready to begin his work on
the first potato vine that shows itself
above ground. The following expert
ment has been made by two Eddington
farmers, E. G. Morse and G. b. McMa-
hon, who last spring planted beans be-
tween their hills of potatoes. Their
only object in doing this was if the .po-
tatoes were ruined by the bugs they
would still have some crop from the
land. AS summer came and the potato
bug commenced his ravages, these two
farmers found, to their surprise, that
their potatoes were not troubled in the
least while the bugs were making sad
l11 havoc S with m the crops OF their neigheors,

They all missed it widely, spelling it in

Moses, The Medicine Man.

For some weeks past Captain Bob,
the Piute chief, has been lying very low
at his wickiup, in the vicinity of the
Sisters Hospital. He is reduced to
minimum quantity of skin and bones,
and his life is despaired of. He has
been attended in his sickness by an
Indian physician named Moses, who
has long been recognized as a medical
authority among the Piutes. His treat
ment consists in the administering of
herb decoctions and incantations. A
teaspeOnful of herb extract and an hour
of dancing and smoking out the wigwam
every two hours is considered about the
right thing This course of treatment
has been pursued by the Piute medicine
man for some time, Notwithstanding
which Bob is rapidly nearing his earth
ly end. The Piutes have been thrown
into a state of excitement over the pros
poets of Bob's early demise, and there is
weeping and lamentation from Walker
Rivor to Pyramid Lake. On Sunday
night last the excitement eliminated in
a number of Indians assembling at Sill
yer City and trying Moses, the medicine
man, for malpractice. About two hun
dred Indians were present and Moses
was charged with attempting to poison
Captain Bob. If this had been proven
he would have been stoned to death on
the spot. His defense was that during
the course of his professional career in
Nevada he had only killed three men,
and if Bob should die he would only be
the fourth man to succumb to his medic
inal treatment. Under the Piute law
he had a right to lay five patients under
the daisies before following them him
self. This seemed to have a decided
effect on the tribe, and the older men,
bers grunted approval. Some one then
suggested that Moses be killed imme-
diately, as it might have beneficial
effect upon the patient. After consider
able parleying it was decided to give
the doctor another chance, and if Bob
died Moses should be executed in due
form. When an Indian was informed
by Chronicle reporter that there were
some doctors in Virginia who had been
killing one man IL month regularly for
some years, he expressed his an
bounded astonishment and passed some
very profane and uncomplimentary re-
marks on the stupidity of a race which
would submit to such imposition. At
last accounts Bob had not long to live.

Italian Slavery.

Six weeks ago the Italian Consul at
New York City received plaintive let
ter, dated at Syracuse, from four young
Italian musicians, praying to be taken
away from brutal padrone named Gil
ovanni Romagnano. The Consul laid
the case before the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children. The
padrone, hearing that officers were on
his track, fled to Canada with the boys,
where he remained one month. Re-
Gently the padrone and his four little
slaves came to Utica. The boys had
been instructed by the padrone to give
fictitious names, in hopes of throwing
the officers off the scent The Utica
police finally succeeded in establishing
the identity of the padrone, and he was
to-day arraigned before the Recorder of
this city.
The testimony developed was pitifu
to the degree of tragedy. The musi
clans told of the brutality of the pa
drone, and of their starvation and suf-
fering from cold. The boys are all be-
low thirteen years, but with violins and
harps have made an average of S12 per
day for the padrone. Returning with

starved and beaten. The padrone.
when arrested, had nearly 81, 200 on his
person, $1,000 of which was in 800
gold pieces, sewed in the lining of his
coat. The Superintendent of the New
York Society appeared as prosecutor,
aided by eminent counsel. The pa
drone was ably defended. After hear
ing the evidence the Recorder fined
the padrone, and compelled him to pay
each musician $50.
The evidence shows that the padrone
system prevails throughout the United
States and Canada. The padrones are
banded to carry on this traffic in musi-
clans. They have large funds at their
command. Letters found on the per-
son of the padrone convicted here to-
day show that in the past eighteen
months he has sent to Italy over $4,000
leased. The Superintendent of the
New York Society says Romagnano
will now be prosecuted in the United
States Courts, and that conviction is
assured. The boys left for New York
tonight, and will be sent back to Italy
The padrone has q handsome estate in
Italy, and the Italian Consul gives as
surances that the authorities will pro-
ceed against Romagnano for violation
of Italian law in taking children from
parents under false representation. The
padrone is brother-in-law of Antonio
Briglios, arrested in New York for a
dastardly assault on the persons of lit
tie girls whom he held in slavery as mu-
sicians. The New York society is de-
termined to break up the padrone sys-

A Duty On Human Oorpses.

Red-tapeism is not plant special to
these realms, and it thrives on Italian
soil as well, if am to believe the ghast-
ly story which is just reported from
Naples. A family of well-to-do mer-
chants of Toledo street had made, in
their own carriage, the pilgrimage of
Monte Vergine, when, on coming back
to town, they were hurled down over
precipice. No less than seven persons
father, mother, daughters and sons
lost their lives by the dreadful occur
renee, and it was only after three days
that their remains could be hauled up
from the fatal spot and brought down
to the city. Now what do you think
the gentry at the Octrol did under the
circumstances? They alleged that
whereas there was no exception for
"human meat on the list of duties,
the seven corpses could not be allowed
to enter the town gates except on pay
ment of the general duty on fresh meat!
The relatives of the dead family OBJ
jected, and disputed the case; but it
was of no use. They had to submit,
and to pay down $50 lire for gaining
admittance. London Truth.

each patient and the smile of gratitude with
which he is welcomed In every room is evil
