Indian Cruelty.
rFrom the Youths Companion. ]

From the Youths Compan1on.]
The Southern Cheyennes are the bold
est and most dashing thieves of the
plains. -Four companies of United States
infantry were once encamped at night in
Kansas. The mules belonging to the
wagon train were quietly grazing, sur
rounded by herders and guard.
Suddenly the Cheyennes rushed on
their ponies from a ravine. Shaking
buffalo robes and yelling like fends,
they dashed into the herd. In an instant
all were under the full Roadway of a
stampede. The command turned out
and fred hundreds of shot, but the bold
thieves got away with every mule.
But the most remarkable ruse, and
one creditable to Indian ingenuity and
cruelty, was tried on the Sixth Cavalry.
The incident is told by an old army
officer:
Capt. Upper and his men we're re-
turning, after hard scout, wherein they
had scattered a band of Cheyennes.
One night the cavalry encamped in a
sharp bend of Mulberry Greek.
The horses were hobbled and tied to
the picket-rope, at each end of which a
fire was kept burning, so that no one
could approach it without being seen.
The men were bivouacked some little
distance from the horses, and well be-
yond the freight. In advance of these,
the sentinels lay fiat on the ground and
watched.
The camp had settled into repose,
when suddenly a huge ball of flame
came rushing into camp, accompanied
by the most terrific yells.
Through and among the horses it
went, rendering them SO frantic with fear
that some few burst their strong letters
and disappeared in the darkness.
In an instant and without command
the steady and ll-disciplined soldiers
seized their arms, and lying fat on the
ground gave the Indians such fusillade
as to put stop to any desire TO charge.
Almost at the same instant the mystic
rious ball Of fire disappeared. The
horses were soon quoted, and the camp
settled itself to rest.
Next morning the dead body of mis-
cradle pony was found in the mud where
the mysterious fire-ball had disappeared.
The outside skin and flesh were burned
to cinder.
The Indians had bound light grass
and every infamable material at hand
all over the poor creature. Then, lead
ing him In the darkness as near as they
dared to go to the line of sentinels, they
turned his head in the right direction
and set fire to his burden. It shows the
cruelty of the savage nature.

Keep Out the Cold Air.
From the American Agriculturist. ]

From the American AgrlculturlstJ
It is much better to have the ventila-
ton of our dwellings under control than
to have a constant inpouring of air, no
matter how cold it may be. The win
dows, especially in houses built as
cheaply as possible, let in all around
(and particularly where two sashes
meet, an astonishing amount of air, so
much that in severe weather it is almost
impossible to make the room comforta-
bly, warm. By checking this inhood of
cold air from without, the same amount
of fuel that before failed to make the
room warm enough, will be SO much
more effective that considerable less coal
or wood will be burned. Weather
strips" of various kinds have been in
vented to be used around windows and
doors for the purpose to which we have
referred. The essential part of these is
narrow strip of rather stiff India
rubber fabric, attached to a strip of
wood or metal, which may be fastened
to the window in such a manner that
the rubber will cover the cracks be-
tween the sashes and the frames, and
elsewhere. Those strips are very useful,
but not to be had IN all places; besides,
while not very costly, they involve an
outlay which many would gladly avoid.
Before the rubber strips were intro
duced, wooden ones were in common use.
The material known as "list or 6 list
ing" the marginal strips being woven
Oh broadcloth and other goods, is con-
venient and costs little or nothing.
This material is not obtainable every
where, nor is it the best substitute fol
the window strips. By FASTING strips Of
paper around the sashes the currents OF
air can be kept out quite as completely
as by any other method. Brown paper
will answer as well as any, and if the jot
be neatly done, it will not be unsightly.
When no longer needed, the paper may
be pulled of after it has been wette6
with warm water. One sash in each
room should be left for necessary venti
lation, and some movable strip, such az
lath, covered with cloth, provided tC
close its cracks if necessary. A strip o.
board or plank, covered with some
fabric, to be used to close the crack a
the bottom of each door, will be founc
very useful.

A Lost Poet.

Ali Hungary held national festival
October Is, when, in Buda- Pesth, was
unveiled statue of the late poet
Petoef. the patriotic bard of the strug-
giles of 1888. Petoefi's fate is
shrouded III mystery. He joined the
army in Pennsylvania under the Polish
General Benz, and was with it at
Schaesburg. But at that catastrophe he
disappeared, and though heent search
was made for him for years, to this day
no trace of him, nor clue to his fate, has
been discovered. The bronze statue,
modelled by Huszsr, who executed the
great statue of Deak, was got up by
private subscription at the Initiative of
Remenyi, the violin artist

nYdrophobia Cured.

An English doctor named Cullimore
declares that he cured young boy al
ready in the violent stages of hydropho-
bia by a ministering every half hour one
drop of aoonite, six grains of bromide of
potash and six drops of cinchona ia half
an ounce of water. After twelve doses
it was given three times a day. The
patient was kept on low diet of arrow
root and was several weeks in recover
ing. He was only six years old and was
probably free from the evils produced
by the imagination in such cases.

In the old hall of the house of repre-
sentatives in Washington, each state is
allowed space for two statues or busts of
its prominent sons. Hitherto Ohio has
not used either of these inches, but this
defect is now to be most fittingly RENE
died, as at the last session of the Ohio
legislature bill was passed appropri-
atlng $4,000 for statue of Gen. Gar
field, to be placed in one of the spaces
allotted to Ohio. Some of the most
prominent sculptors of the country are
compe ting for the work.

the tire is worn out, and then the tire
can be replaced at small cost. Other
important uses are being found for straw,
and III course of time it may become too
valuable for feeding, and will be more
profitable for sale than the grain which
it bears. Near the large cities and
straw board mills rye straw is worth a
sum equivalent to about $50 an acre;
this is equal to the price of larger
yield than an average crop of grain. =

THE HOME DOCTOR.
THE EYE AND SUNLIGHT.

The food of the eye is light, as is air
for the lungs, bread for the stomach, and
as the Tins of the fish pre-suppose water.
10 shut ourselves up In dark rooms,
with or without weak light, is simply
suicidal. Weak eyes, indeed, are the
accompaniment Of dark rooms, stained
glass and gas.
COUGH REMEDY.
A recent cough will almost always
yield to the following treatment within
two or three days: Mix in a bottle four
ounces OF glycerine, two ounces of alco-
hol, two ounce of water, two grains of
morphine. Shake we'll Dose for an
adult, one or two teaspoonfuls every two
or three hours. Half this quantity to
children from 10 to Is years old. It is
not safe to give it to infants or children
under 10 years of age.
VINEGAR FOR THE SICK ROOM.
There is French legend connected
with the preparation called Vinaigre q
gNajre VolearS. During the plague at
Marseilles band of robbers plundered
the dying and the dead without injury to
themselves. They were imprisoned,
tried and condemned to die, but were
pardoned on condition of disclosing the
secret whereby they could ransack houses
infected with the terrible scourge. They
gave the following recipe, which makes
a delicious and refreshing wash for the
sick room: Take of rosemary, worm
wood, lavender, rue, sage and mint a
large handful of each. Place in stone
jar, and turn over it one gallon of strong
cider vinegar; cover closely, and keep
near the fire for four days; then strain,
and add one ounce of camphor gum.
Bottle and keep tightly corked. It is
very aromatic, cooling and refreshing in
the sick room, and is of great value to
nurses. -NeW York Tribune.
HOT AND COLD DRINKS.
In spite of the universal proverb that
heat is life and death is cold, writer in
knowledge maintains that hot drinks
are unnatural, cold drinks natural to
man. Notwithstanding this dictum few
people will believe it. Very hot drinks
may do harm. but cold ones will do
more. The effect of moderate heat upon
the body is always sanitary; the effect of
cold may sometimes be more comfortable
but never is entirely wholesome. Neu-
ralgla, rheumatism, etc., are alleviated
by hot applications, aggravated By cold
Hot water is found to be one of the best
cures fordyspepsia yet discovered; slim
ulating the blood in the stomach and di-
rccting it toward the digestive nerve cen
tiers. Weakness and disturbances in the
bowels are caused by cold liquids and
moderated by hot ones. If hot drinks,
like tea, coffee and alcoholic stimulants
do harm, it is not because they are hot,
but because of their specific effects upon
the nerves. They do more harm when
they are cold, because the heat practi-
cally neutralizes their evil effects.

CURIOUS, USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC.
UTILIZING LIME MUD,

Lime mud formed as waste product
in caustic manufacture is converted to q
useful substance 10 this way: It is put
into a chamber having stirrer and a
movable tilteriDg bottom. Steam is let
in, and, passing through the mud drives
out the moisture and alkali through the
filter bottom. The bottom is then
lowered and the dry cake of carbonate of
lime is tilted into wagon and used in
plack of limestone in the black ash fur
mace.
