Welded on Horseback.

Nearly month ago Mrs. A. f. Wat
son, of California, sister of Mrs.
Wright. arrived at Buena Vista, Colo
rado. Mrs. Watson was found ofhorse-
back riding. and about week after her
arrival at Buena Vista, while on an
equestrian excursion, she met by chance
George Rouak, wealthy stock-grower
of the Arkansas Valley, who was also
on horseback. 1t was a genuine case
of love at first sight, and just three
weeks from the day of their first meet
ing, the lovers, accompanied by Mrs.
Wright as bridemaid and A. j. Scott as
groomsman, started for Granite, intend
ing to sit in their saddles and have said
the words which should unite them for
life. Although the start was made at
seven o'clock, the road was so bad that
they did not reach Granite until about
noon. Just at the edge of the town,
while crossing bridge, Mrs. Wright's
horse slipped. She held him up, but
while regaining her balance he slipped
again and fell, the lady being thrown
down an embankment. She was picked
up and carried TO the nearest house,
where it was found that her right arm
was broken. The stage for Leadville
had arrived, and Mrs. Wright at once
determined to take it and come home
to her husband, S. D. Wright, who was
not with her, as had been reported.
But the ceremony had not been per-
formed, and the plucky woman deter
mined that the mishap should not in
terfere with the programme they had
arranged. She was carried to her horse
and held upon him, and while the eques-
train bridal party gathered around
Judge quickly united Mrs. Watson and
Mr.. Rouak for life. Mrs. Wright in
sisted that they should go back to their
pleasant home in Buena Vista and en-
JOY their honeymoon, leaving her to
CO me alone to Leadville. She carried
her point, and arrived here at late
hour, nearly frozen and almost crazy
with pain. Coming up from Granite
she rode outside all the way. On the
Malta road The driver Of the coach
found house on the way, and endeav-
oring to turn out and pass by the coach
was upset, but a. lady and gentleman
who were sitting with Mrs. Wright
held her in such way that she was
not hurt, although her nerves suffered
another terrible shock.

FARM AND GARDEN.

GRATING CRAZE VINEs.-Those who
wish TO graft their vines over with
other vines should remember that win
ter and not spring is the time for it
and In the season the grape Is different
from most other trees. 1t Is different
in this, that in the spring OF the year
there is such q tremendous pressure
upward by the ascending sap that the
parts of the scion and stock which to
unite must of course touch one another
are forced by the sap apart. When the
CRAFTS are put In at this season there is
little of this. The severed cells gram
ulate and heal, and when the sap l.
ready to dow upwards strongly it goes
up through its regular channels in the
graft without any tendency to break
out through the junction. How to
graft grape vines admits of many vari-
Gus replies. The best is probably that
described years ago by Samuel Miller,
OF Missouri, who was very successful as
CRATER OF the grape. He drew away
the soil from the stock TO be graft
ed, cut IL down about two inches
from the surface, then cut with
stout sharp knife long narrow
wedge shaped notch in the stock, and
shaped the scion rs q wedge to fit in the
notch In the stock. The lips of the
notch are then tied together and the
earth drawn in around the whole,
leaving the upper eye OF the graft above
the ground. We may say that il is very
astonishing that grating Is not more
generally practised, and especially
since the discovery that the great sue
cess of the Concord, Clinton and few
other grapes is not owing TO any extra
hardness, but to the fact that the power
to throw out numerous tibrous roots
Is greater In .hesc kinds. If this be
true, and it seems to be really the case,
we may have the choicest and best OF
grapes by grating them on these Wig
orOus roofing stocks. For once the
French seem TO have taken start
ahead of us in this matter. They sent
an agent TO this county some years ago
a shrewd observing fellow-and he
took in the whole situation at once.
The result has been that millions on
millions of Concord and Clinton cut
tings have been sent to France the past
five or six years, and in future wines
of that country may BE brought to
higher grade of perfection than ever
before,

GENERAL DEBnITY.-In this COM
plant the good effects of the Vegetine
are realized Immediately after COM
mencing to take it; as debility denotes
deficiency of the blood, and Vegetine
acts directly upon the blood. There is
no remedy that will restore the health
from debility like the Vegetine. 1t is
nourishing and strengthening, purifies
the blood, regulates the bowels, quIets
the nervous system, acts directly upon
the secretions, and arouses the whole
system to action. 1t has never failed
in this complaint.

MEAT AND NOT FAT butchers In
America as we'll as in England and
Scotland evidently see signs of the ap-
proach of radical change in public
taste in the matter of the meats wanted
for use, fresh on the table. Time was
when to suit the public taste, meat of
Sny kind must be fat. Now to offend
the public taste one las but 10 show
meat accompanied by thick border of
Uallow. One who was for many years
successful butcher in England says the
disposition is to reject tat in buying
beef or mutton, and we have lately seen
in English papers complaints from
butchers there of this tendency. They
complain that they cannot afford to
cut fat bullocks and sell the lean flesh
only without asking prices which seem
to consumers altogether too high in
comparison with the prices paid for the
living animals. There has been less
complaint about this, perhaps, on this
side of the water, but the effect of our
financial stress was shown in another
way. People stopped buying meat
when they found they could no 10 niger
afford to pay the price OF a prime steak
for tallow, worth five or six cents, per-
haps, TO the butcher, but worth lutte
or nothing to the average household.
They wanted meat and not fat for their
money. No one can be surprised at the
growth Of a disposition to reject fat
when flesh is wanted. People have
learned that i'm fat there is little or no
food suitable to this climate, and to the
wants of the majority of meat-eaters.
There is little muscle forming food in it,
and so it is not an economical fool for
those who have heavy manual labor to
do. For the professional man, and for all
confined to sedentary occupations, no
one supposes it fit food. 1t is to be re-
gretted that our forefathers did rot dis
cover this before they ruined their di-
gestive organs and bequeathed to later
generations dyspepsia and kindred ills.
The stomach of even those who work
in the open air much of the time are
scarcely able 10 digest the quantities of
grease they are often charged with, al d
even the farmers are beginning to sse
that fat meat is not always cheap meat.
1t is true the hired man will eat less tat
pork than lean beef, but he will give in
return for the fat less labor. Ii you
starve his muscleyou cannot reasonably
expect his muscle to give you liberal
and profitable return.

THE FINEST MANURE.-The finest
manure is made by turning the heap
over twice. To do this, begin at each
end of the pile, and throw off the ma
nure to distance of three feet, build
ing rp the new heaps, and placing the
coarsest manure in the centre. Then
proceed until two heaps are made.
These will soon heat, and a month or
so afterwards the process may be re-
versed and the two heaps made into one
again.
