Some thirty years ago there lived in Mont

afflicted with ScrOfula. After being treated
for long time by the medical profession OF
this town with no benefit he commenced
taking s. S. s. Atter persistently taking 1t
two months he was cured. Being acquainted
with him for 20 years thereafter, can testify
that the disease never returned.

A ThOUsaRd Years Ago.

ltfOm LDe PCpular science monthly
In the year 800 year after Christ,
what was the state of Europe? The
Goths, the Vaudals, the Franks, the
Huns, the Normans, the Turks, and
other barbarOus hordes, had invaded
and overthrOwn the Roman empire,
and had established various Kingdoms
upon it's ruins. These hordes Of savages
had destroyed, not only the works of
civilization, bat civilization itself.
Ignorant as they were of every thing
that distinguishes and elevates human
Dature, they broke up the schools, and
manufactures, prevented commerce,
and reduced the conquered nations to
their own condition, inaugurating in
the compIetest manner the reign of
brutef Orce and mental darkness. If
afterward espOused Christianity, they
nodded it to their own savage supersti
tion, till at last naught was left of the
divine dispensation but its name, to
cover the most degrading idolatry snd
demonism.
At the time we begin our specific ex-
animation we find that, in the then So
called Christian nations there existed
no science worthy of the name, no
schools whatever. Reading, writing,
ciphering, were separate trades. The
masses, the nobility, the poor and the
rich. were wholly unacquainted with
the mysteries of the alphabet and the
pen. A few men, known as clerks,
who generally belonged to the priest
hood, monopolized them as a special
Class of artists.
They taught their business only to
their seminarists, apprentices; and be-
yond themselves and their few pupils
no one knew how to read and write, nor
was it expected of the generality, any
more than it would be nowadays that
every body should be shoemaker or a
lawyer. Kings did not even know how
to sign their names, so that when they
wanted to subscribe to written con.
tract, law, or treaty, which some clerk
had drawn up for them, they would
smear their right hand with ink, and
slap it down upon the parchment say
ing, "Witness my hand" At later
date, SONS genius devised the substi-
tute of the SEAL which was impressed
instead of the hand. Every gentleman |
had a seal with peculiar device there.

In use: "Witneas my hand and seal,

the purpose of reminding US of the ig-
norance of the middle ages.

The Color of Horses.

This is a subject to which we may
perhaps attach more importance than is
generally accorded it. 1t has passed
into a proverb that tsa good horse can
not be bad color" We shall, however,
merely give what, in our experience, are
good colors, and what bad not looking
on the color as Influencing the strength
or good qualities of the animal, but as
an index to the constitution. Now, a
light chestnut or sorrel, with white legs
and feet, naturally suggests the idea
that he Is a weak, washy brute; while,
on the other hand. a dark chestnut,
with, say, still darker points, gives i'm.
mediately the imp ression of strength
and good constitution. We believe these
opinions (however conveyedD are proved
TO hes perfectly right. There are, Of
course, exceptions, butswe take the rule
Again, q bay horse with black points, or
even with q white leg or two, is very
good color; 50 is dark and notified
brown; in fact there issnon better, but
no color is acertain guarantee of quality,
although, as we before said, we look
upon itsas not unreliable index. For
many purposes gray color is looked
upon as drawback and SO is that of
ssy1Hers' We never heard of anyauob-
jections to the black color, nor do we
knowof any. Some horses are said to
show character" in their colorings, as,
for INSTANCES, bull terrier does with a
patch over his eye. Thus, a dark brown
or black horse, with three white legs
and a blaze, although not the perfection
of marking, gives such a quaint appear
ance that the animal is instinctively,
and rightly, put down as haying
'''eharactern about him, and is often q
very good horse. As rule, it will be
seen that We look upon dark. browns,
dark chestnuts, and light" bays, as the
best scolors, indexing blood and good
constitutions, and the less white they
have about them the better White
feet are particularly. Objectionable, as
they are generally inclined 10 be flat
and weak; and horse which shows
much white about the eye is oftens
tricky, sometimes bad feeder, and
sometimes vicious.-Prairie Former.

cases of special interest They are their own
commentary. Mr.. Samuel G. Nyce, resides at
3oS Marshall street, and holds the responsible
position of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr.. Nyce
and family were in the country recently, his
boy, aged three years, fell and broke his leg.
He recovered, but very troublesome stiffness
set in and he could scarcely use. the leg. The
injured limb was rubbed several times with
st. Jacobs Oil. and the stiffness was SO much
reduced that the boy was able to use his leg
freely. DR.. knipe said it was the use of St.
Jacobs OIL that cured the stiffness. Mr.. Nyce
himself used the Great German Remedy for
toothache with good effect, and also for :
spraiR and pains Of rheumatic nature, and al
ways with good effect Mrs. Nyce also says
she thinks the Oh is splendid thing, and she

Death OF an Aged Indian.

A correspondent of the Kern Counth
Californian, writing from TETON Ranch,
tells of the death of a notable Indian,
which recently took place there. He
was one of the original neophites that
the first San Franciscan friars, who
landed at San Diego in 1869, under the
leadership of the great missionary, j uni.
pero Sera, collected around them. His
reputed age was 115 years, but he was
probably older. He was well-grown
youth, or probably a young man, at the
time the Mission San Fernando was
founded, in the erection of which he as
sisted. His baptisma1 name was Fran.
cisco, and his Indian patronymic To-no-
Goa, and he was usually called Tenoco.
He was appointed Alcalde by the first
franciscan friar in charge of that Mis-.
sion, over the TETON or Ten Neof and
other surrounding tribes of Indians, and
deriving his authority from that ancient
source, and his personal qualities, he
has ever since been Chief of the TETON
INDIANS. 1874 1871 &c ~ FFg ...s

"A Methodist minister travelling in
Michigan was entertained by family
whose hospitality was greater than their
means, and who were short of meat. In
order to spread a good dinner for the
parson, it was decided to STAY the pet
hen which belonged to the little boy OF
the family. This was sacrifice, but
the interests of religion and hospitality
seemed to demand it, and so the bird s
neck was wrung. After dinner the min
lister was asked to lead in family devo-
tions, which with true clerical courtesy
he consented to do. The family being
called together, all sknelt down on the
floor, which was OF boards, literally
adorned with knot holes. While prayer
was going on, lonely little chicken,
one of the children of the deceased hen,
came running under the house, lament
ing the losssof its mother. The afflicted
little lad put his mouth to knot hole,
and sympathetically said to the chicken:
"Peepy, peepy, didn't kill your moth

preachers dinner That sfbig old
preacher was startled out of all sense
of prayerfulness, and suddenly brought
his devotional exercises to close.

-Merino sheep will yield from ten to

Secretary Chamberlain forcibly
says, in the Ohio Farmer, that poor soil
cannot be brought up to fertility in a
season simply by an immense amount
of manure, any more than lean horse
can be fattened in week by an inn
mense amount of feed. The soil needs
time to assimilate the manure and i'm
prove in texture. 1t takes time to ''fat
it up" Just as it does to fatten a lean
horse. And time requires patience on
the part of the farmer.
-Beefsteak Stewed.-Take a piece of
rump steak an inch thick, fry it in but
ter on both sides, add enough hot stock
just to cover the steak, a faggot of sweet
herbs, pepper and salt to taste, two car
rots sliced, and a dozen very small on
ions. Cover the saucepan and let the
contents simmer very gently for about
two hours. Mix a piece of butter and
some flour in a saucepan on the fire,
add the best part of the liquor in which
the steak has been stewing, put in a lit
tie Worcester sauce and mushroom
ketchup. Lay the steak on a dish, the
carrots and onions round it, and pour
the sauce over. sHs..iE r.rFE I.!s

A lad named Six, in Oliver Town.
ship, Kalkaska County, Mich.,. had an
exciting encounter with deer a few
days since. He fred at the, deer, large
buck, and was in the act of reloading
when he noticed the deer coming toward
him. His rifle was muzzle- loader, and
his patches were not cut any faster than
he used them, SO that before he could
reload the deer was close to him. He
made lively time around large tree,
with the deer pressing him too closely
for comfort, and, seeing two trees at a
short distance that stood quite close to-
gether, he struck out for them, which
he barely reached when the buck went
rushing by. Here he could dodge be-
tween the trees, while the buck had to
go around on account of his horns.
Finally the baff1ed beast stopped to study
the situation, when the lad, hastily ram
ming the ball home, fixed the cap with
nervous fingers, and, placing the gun
between the trees and close to the deer's
head, pulled the trigger, and-kerdop
