lunCn, put up ny Une Waiu-loonA o'o"
ard. We had, as well, wandered con-
siderable distance inland, which fact was
forced most disagreeably and forcibly
upon me when I asceuded slight emf
nence to obtain better view Of the sur
rounding country
"A party of most vicious-looking
scoundrels, swarthy and bearded like
pirates, mounted upon wiry mustangs,
galloping directly toward us, their arms
and accoutrements glancing brightly in
the rays of the morning sun, met my
vision.
There was no mistaking their er.
rand, and, if the slightest doubt had ex-
listed, it was soon dissipated when the
party urged their steeds into round
gallop, at the same time unslinging the
carbines which were strapped to their
backs. With q ferocious yell they came
swooping down upon us, and l, hastily
summoning Harry to follow in my wake,
struck for the old trunk of tho tree
which marked the spot where we had
disembarked
'Clinging to our guns, while game
bags and contents were tossed aside, we
sought the hardest and dryest ground,
until point was reached, as nearly as
we could Judge, that was abreast OF the
tree, which was hidden from us by the
tall serge grass. The dry earth was left
behind, and with a plunge we went
ankle deep into the mud and ooze, three
miles of which intervened between us
and the river. In the rear dozen we'll
armed men were urging their horses
along at furious gait; and, gentlemen,
if ever / felt scared in my life it was
when cast furtive glance over my
shoulder, taking in the whole situation.
There was one point in our favor
we had the advantage Of good start,
and, as the Greasers reined up their
snorting mustangs for moment Oh the
edge of the marsh, we were steadily
plowing our way through the mud
and water, while showers Of vile COM
pound flew high above our heads with
every plunge, We were beyond the
range of their rifles, they having tried
their caliber, the balls expending them
selves far astCrn, harmlessly in the mud.
Then, with u simultaneous yell, they
came on, the animals pIunging flriously
as they sank deeply into the adhesive
mud of the morass.
Their object was murder aDa plum
der. The opportunity was too good to
be thrown away. There was no one to
interfere, no one to witness their deeds
of violence, and in that mass Of tangled
weeds, grass, mud and miro no one
would discover our hacked and disiig-
urcd bodies.
'The rapid crack of the carbines re-
sounded continually IN our ears, ana, as
the horses gained upon u.s. the balls be-
gan to whistle uncomfortable close. But

. Sweeping Is good exercise If you
can avoid raising a dust. But if you
are in need of that kind, get hoe and
betake yourself to a potato patch or
corntield. Sweep carpets gently. Even
rag carpet should be treated with
consideration. A severe digging with
a broom wears the warp and scrapes
out the lint of the rags quite neot less
ly. Not long ago heard woman say
that a very stiff broom was needed for
sweeping a Brussels carpet / thought
to myself "a stiff broom will never
sweep my Brussels carpet" (good reas-
on why'd as | imagined the tearing out
OF the soft tufling of the carpet by the
coarse, sharp broom splints. A carpet
sweeper is the best thing for this pur-
pose. 1t does the work easily and well,
and saves the dust. A brush of hair
and a dustpan are good to use for the
incest carpets, but their use is too la
borious for recommendation to busy
housekeeper. If common broom of
broom-corn must be used for Brussels,
it should be fine, soft, light and clean.
To sweep up threads, rawlings and
other fine litter, many persons wet the
broom in tepid water, shaking out the
water before sweeping with it, just keep
ing the broom moist enough to wipe up
the fine dust and threads, rinsing in
clear water and shaking it frequently
as the work progresses. Brussels car
pets are not suitable for rooms where
sewing and baby culture is going for
ward. In providing carpets for any
room roaSop would dictate TN at thav
should be such as may be easily kept
clean, not SO dark as to show every
dust and thread nor so light as to be
very easily soiled-somethipg which
will either let the dust sift through or
retain it on the surface, rather than in
the carpet itself, when to be used where
dust is made.-Faith Rochester IN Aqri.

Advice to Marrying Men.
Octnn Eanil1nffss / ntfnr -

1t would be extravagant to pretend
that al lyoung manageable girls are an
gels; but there are angels among mar
riageable girls. This is not even excep-
tional, and, odd as it may appear, lees
exceptional in Paris than elsewhere.
The well-bred young girls of Paris
are admirably welLbred, and
they are almost to much So.
The mothers so refine their intellectual
and moral culture that they make up
creature 80 delicate that they cannot
bear the touch of an ordinary mortal
without being wounded and whitening.
This exquisite kind of education natur-
ally attracts the marrying man it seems
to him strong guarantee of coDjugal
prosperity and security. He watches
for his fine game, carries her off in
triumph and sleeps in peace. Far be
it from us to disturb such sweet tram
guilty; we simply observe that the
man who seeks to transplant one of
these choice plants from the maternal
dollhouse to the soil of marriage ought
to be highly distinguished horticultur-
alist. for In coarse soil and unskillful
hands the rarest plants are those which
turn out most badly. Some fade and
die, others degenerate and return wild
ly to savage state. Conse quently the
fool cannot be too strongly urged to
marry fool; that would be the easiest,
the most humane, and the honest way.

Farm Life

A writer in Scribner's Magosiae asserts
that the farmer, having the most sane
and natural occupation, ought to find
life pleasant. He alone, strictly speak
ing, has home. How can man take
root and thrive without land? He
writes his history upon his field. How
many ties. how many resources he has;
his friendship with cattle, his team, his
dog, his trees; the satisfaction in his
growing crops, in his improved fields;
his intimacy with nature, with bird and
beast, and with the quickening element.

clouds, sun, seasons, heat. wind, rain
and frost. Nothing will take the vari-

and artificial life breed outofa man like
farming-like direct and loving contact
with the soil. 1t draws out the poison.
1t humbles him, teaches him patience
and reverence, and restores the proper
tone to his system. Cling to the farm,
make much of it, put yourself into it,
bestow your heart and brain upon it, so
that it shall SAVIOR of you and radiate
your virtue after your days work is
done. -

The Sfunii RnT.

Never set a boy down for stupid be-
cause he does not make figure at
school. Many of the most celebrated
men who ever lived have been set
down by some conventional pedagogue
as donkeys. One of the greatest astron-
omers of the age was restored to his
father by the village schoolmaster, with
these encouraging words: There's
no use paying good money for his edu-
cation. All he wants to do is to lie on the
grass on his back and stare at the sky.
Pm afraid his mind is wrong" Scien-
tifc men have often been logged for
falling into brown studies over their
books, and many an artist of the future
has come to present grief for drawing all
over his copy-hook and surreptitiously
painting the pictures of his geography.
Your genius, unless musical, seldom
proves himself one in his childhood,
and your SNUG and self-sufficient piece
of precocity, who takes all the medals,
and is the show scholar of his school,
often ends by showing no talent for
anything beyond yard stick. Sir Wal
ter Scott was called stupid as child,
and it was not even considered to his
credit that he was fond of "sich trash"
as ballads, and could learn them by
heart at any time.

Extraya gance of American HOusekeep-

Mr.. Delmonico, talking about entrees,
says that Americans ought to copy the
French method of utilizing small bits OF
raw M eats and fowls and of recooking
all kinds of cold joints and pieces OF
cooked meat which remain day after
day from every dinner in almost every
family. The success of such dinners
depends mainly upon broth. The fol-
lowing is hisrecipe for favorite sauce:
Take an ounce of ham or bacon cut up
in small pieces and fry in hot fat. Add
an onion and carrot, cat upa thicken with
-four, then add pint or quart of broth,
according to quantity desired. Season
with pepper and salt and any spice or
herb that's relished (better though with
out the spicel, and let il simmer for an
hour, skim carefully and strain. A wine.
glass OF any wine my be added if liked.
Cold roast or boiled beef or mutton
may be cut into small squares, fried
brown in butter, and then gently stewed
in the sauce above described. Mr.. Del
monico describes croquettes as an at
tractiye French substitute for hash, and
tells how to make it. "Veal, mutton,
lamb, sweetbreads, almost any of the
lighter meats. besides cold chicken and
turkey, can be most deliciously turned
into croquettes. Chop the meat very
fine. Chop up an onion, fry it in an
ounce of butter, add a teaspoonful of
-four; stir it up well, then add the chop
ped meat and little broth, salt, pepper
little nutmeg; stir for two or three min
utes, then add the yolks of two eggs,
and turn the whole into dish to cool.
When cold mix well together again,
divide into parts for the croquettes;
roll into the desired shape in bread
crumbs, dip in beaten egg, then in
bread crumbs again, and fry crisp to a
bright golden color. The croquettes
may be served plain, or with tomato
sauce or garniture of vegetables"

An Ancient Mariner.
For I'm the cook and captain bold.
Andthe mate of the Nancy brig.

ana crew OF tne captain gig
This was the snatch sung by long
haired, weather-beaten sailor, who sat
on a San Francisco wharf, one day last
week, there being around him on every
side a crowd of curious loungers. Moor
ed to the wharf was bis odd-looking little
sloop, the Nancy Belle, well loaded with
abalone shells from San Clemente Is
land The sailor, whose name is S. T..
Larsen, and who is known up and down
tho Pacific Coast as tine crazy poet Of
Los Angeles" has just passed through a
trying experience. Early in January
he had encountered heavy gale off
San Cleinente, and in order to weather
it was obliged to send along the tops
Of the pillows. While thus running, a
thunderclap tore his sails into shreds,
lightning snapped the tiller and water
deluged the cabin. So perfectly help
less did the stroke render the hermit
sailor that the Nancy was swept 800
miles out to sea, where she drifted
about for many days, toy of the waves.
Larsen improyised a sail, but the first
strong puff of wind took it away. There
was plenty of food on board, but Lar
sen could not eat. He had copy of
the Ancient Mariner" on board, and
this he read over and over again, shout
ing some of the verses aloud as q curse
to the elements, much as old King Lear
cursed them. For days the castaway
lay on the deck, part of the time I'M
conscious. Again he composed poems
on his adventure, and corking them in
bottles set them adrift. All this time he
was conscious that the west wind must
be sweeping him back to the coast, and
he was awakened from sleep one night
by the tossing about of the Nancy in n
chopped sea. At dsybreak he saw the
shore, and recognized Pigeon Point.
From that moment he gained renewed
energy, and at last, making Mon!ery,
was safe. He had been thirty=fEe days
at sea.-hlta California.

in what direction he is going. The
cook is watched at bis work by two
special employees, and the kitchen door
