THREE PROPOSALS.

three proposals in one week from men
who never saw her before they offered
their hands and hearts.

In the fall of the year 1870 l was
one of the number of guests at a
French country house, situated just
out of the fine old town of Troyes, in
Champagne; 4 magnificent old place
with the caves of the house meeting
above the narrow street; with its fine
inns, where the traditions of the old
school of French cooking are still pre-
served; where you can get a pasty

have hOnOred; where the girls are
rosy-cheeked and malicious looking;
where the priests live with the people,
are not addicted to reforms, and
where simple praise is the largest part
of God S worship.
There are many interesting things
in Troyes-the old walls outside the
city, the ancient college with quite a
reputation even outside the town;
but the crowning glory of all Is the
cathedral, where good King Harry of
England did most peremptorily, but
gallantly, marry Catherine of France.

spend in Troyes is but "A matter for

Of poetry by Ellen Z. Allerton explanatory of
the picture. The poetry is as follows:
Smiling and beautiful, heavens dome,
Bends softly over our prairie home.
But the wide, wide lands that stretched away,
Before my eyes in the day of May.
The rolling prairies pillows swell,
Breezy upland and the timbered dell
Stately mansion and hut forlorn,
All are hidden by walls Of corn.
All wide the world Is narrowed down,
To walls of corn, now sere and brown.
What do they hold-these walls Of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze Of morn?
He who questions may soon be told,
A great states wealth these walls enfOd.
No sentnels guard these walls of corn.
Never is sounded the wardcr's horn.
Yet the pillars are hung with cleaning gold,
Left ali unbaued, though thieves are bold.
Clothes and food for the toilng poor
Wealth TO heap at the rich mans door.
Meat for the hcalthy, and balm for him
Who mOans and tOsscs i'll chamber dim;
Shoes for the barcfootcd, pearls TO twine
In the scented tresses of ladies fine;
Things of use for the low " cot,
Where (bess the CORN want cometh not;
LuXuries rare for the mansion grand,
Gifts of a rich and fertile land;
All these things, and so many more
1t would fill book to name them DER,
Are hid and held in these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn.
Open the Atlas, conned by rule,
In the oldcn days of the district school.

That yields such fruits to the toiler's hand
''Treeless desert" they called it then,
Haunted by beasts and forsook by men.
Little they know what wealth untold,
Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled.
Who would have dared, with brush or pen,
AS this land is now, TO paint ii then.
And how would the wise ones have laughed

THE mUsH AND MILK CURE.
A Sensible Remedy for stomach Conn
pla ints, Debility and Ner-
vONsneBs.

Professor Dan de Guile, OF the Viz.
ginia Enterprise, says a number of per-
sons in Virginia are eating mush and
milk-the diet of childhood days-as a
cure for nervousness, debility and the
like, and find it far superior TO beef tea.
The professor, who is not an advocate of
any particular school of medicine, and
( relies mainly on common sense principles
for effecting cures, states the following as
the result Of extended observations:
Half those troubled with sleeplessness
will find that by making good square
meal of mush and milk before going to
bed they will sleep like top" At
first they may only be able to eat few
spoonsful, but in few days they will be
able and willing to stuff themselves as in
the days of childhood, and will suffer no
inconvenience from so doing. An empty
stomach keeps more people awake than
full one. Children, pigs, Indians and
nearly all animals and human beings
whose digestive organs are unimpared
are ready to 60 to sleep the moment they
have eaten hearty meal. Some may
have such bad stomachs as not to be able
to eat mush and milk on going to bed,
therefore they must first eat it in the
morning. Crushed Indian" is preferred
by many to the common corn meal, as it
is equally good and strengthening. The
main thing is to properly cook the mush.
Not one cook in dozen knows how, or
knowing, will do it. When the meal is
stirred into the water it should be so
sprinkled that the water never stops
boiling, and il should be cooked from
two to three hours. In the start it
should not be much thinner than Cruel,
and should not be thick and stiff when
done. Some who were sick and feeble
have become so fat and hearty that their
friends are astonished, and all in the
course of few weeks. Corn cakes for
breakfast will help out; also fried musb,
and now and then corn bread for dinner.
Hall the people on the Pacific Coast OF
middle age were raised on mush and
corn bread in some of the Western or
Southern States. Here not half as much
corn is used by any one as should be
eaten. Corn is the great native bread
grain of America, and the climate seems
to require that it should be eaten. On
the Pacific Coast are lot of granting
old Hoosiers, Suckers, Hawkeyes, Buck.
eyes and the like, who do not know
what ails them. All they want is corn.
They must turn over dietetic leaf and
go back to the grub" of the days OF
their childhood, when, before climbing
the ladder to their beds, they stuffed
with mush till they were in moderate
pain.

DR.. W.. B. Hartford, OF Beetown, Wis
consin, sends us the history OF a some
what rare case. A young man, aged 80,
was shot in the face, receiving the full
charge OF shotgun at distance OF if
teen yards. His head was struck with
seven No. 1 shot and two bullets. DR..
Hartford writes: lone bullet penetrated
the frontal bone :hree.fourths OF an inch
above the right supraorbital ridge, and /
think it passed nearly if not quite through
the BRAIN it cut clear hole through the
bone. We probed the wound about an
inch and half; it went straight into the
brain, and there was some of the brain
substance on the ground where he fell
when shot. There was another bullet
wound just under the right eye that pen
etrated for about an inch The course of
the bullet was from right to left The
patient was unconscious, and then some-
what delirious for few days. He finally
recovered entirely, except from a feeling

THE DAKOTA TIN MINES. Professor
Bailey, OF Wyoming, says OF these mines:
The stream.tin alone is so abundant
that all the companies that can possibly
work it could go on for twenty years
without exhausting it. Yet this is but
the waste, you might say, OF the main de-
po,it-the mere scraps that water and
frosts have detached. a little bit at a
time, from the great mass and source of
the ore, which is Harvey Peak itself,
more than mile high, and the surround.
ing tin-bearing rock, which, as l have
said, extends for miles. 1t is impossible
ever to imagine this great body of ore be.
ing exhausted. As to profit, the richness
of the ore, compared with that of any
other tin-bearing district OF the world,
settles that question conclusively. l have
seen, ] think, most OF the specimens of
tin ore in prominent American cabinets
OF minerals, but none was as rich as much
OF the rock saw in the Harvey Peak
region"
