In The farmhouse called La
Scail, in the Plaza, the farmer
found hat rats had eaten all the
inside Of bis chseses, leaving only
the lind. He told one OF his
laborers Of this, saying he must
carry Of his cheese to Bronte.
This man, whose clothing had
also been gnawed, replied, Leave
it to me; I will see about it,"
He then sharpened a nail to a
point, like needle, and stuck it
ia the floor where the rats passed
MAY the rat which gnawed my
drawers fall on this and kill
himself" The farmer and he
watched until they saw the rats
come and walk past the nail un-
hurt. At last one ran upon it and
was killed. From that time no
iat came near the place. This
man had the power of charming
away pain when horses, etc !,
were suffering from collie. He was

who lived in Linguoglossa, who
had these supernatural powers.
She was consulted by those who
had been robbed. After listening
10 their story she thought for q
few minutes, and then told them

men went to her when the driving
belts Of the engine were stolen.
An old robber who died in Bronte
four years ago 1t the age of los,
had the Same reputation; and a
poor, sick, scrofulous, boy, bed
ridden for the last twelve years,
10 also one Of the white witch
tribe. He knows the name Of
and cure for all diseases, where
stolen things are hidden. where
money is found buried under
stones. and the like, and he has
predicted his own death, which
/, to take place in two years from
this date. When Peppe Pagano's
cottage was being built, some
human bones we're dug up. These
were put in a basket previous to
being reinterred, and placed for
the night in q corner of the hut
where the workmen slept. They
declared the next morning that
tsey had been kept awake all the
night by the bones rafting and
dancing in the basket. In August
1881, during a terrific storm of
thunder, lightning, wind and hail
as large as pigeons eggs, a priest
died in Bronte. He was an
enormously fat and self-indulgent
man, very rich. and with bad
character. At the moment when
his corpse was carried into the
church, a young married woman,
the mother of three children,
respected and esteemed by all
who knew her, was receiving the
Sacrament. As she opened her
mouth the spirit of T., the priest,
asaed into her. From that time
she has been subject to fits of
madness, in which she speaks
and acts exactly as he did, her
voice sounding like his. She has
confessed many of his crimes;
among others that he had been
in the habit Of cheating the poor
by giving unsigned receipts, or
writing down the wrong amount
when they entrusted corn or
money to him. An attempt was
made by the priests to exercise
the demon which had entered
into her, but he threatened to go
into another young woman if they
did go. Thinking it as we'll to
circumscribe the area of the
DEVILS activities, and wiser to put
up with what they knew than to
attempt unknown charms, they
dssisted and left things as they
were.

Fashionable Women.

Fashion kills more women than toll
and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a
greater transgT essiOn of the laws of
wOman's nature, a greater injury to Der
physical and mental constitution than
poverty and neglect. The slave woman
at her tasks will live and grow old and
see two or three generations of her mis-
treses fade away. The washerwOman,
with scarce ray of hope to cheer her in
her toll. will live to see her fashionable
sisters die all around her. The kitchen
maid is hearty and strong when her
lady has to DO nursed like sick baby.
1t Is sad truth that the fashiOn-pam-
perpd women are almost worthless, for
all the ends of human life; they have
but little force Of character; thsy have
still less power of mental will, and
quite as little physical energy. They
live for no great purpese in life; they
accomplish no worthy ends. They are
only doll forms in the hands of millin-
srs and servants. to be dressed and fed
to order. They write no books; they set
no rich examples of virtues and woman
ly life. If they rear children. servants
and nurses do all save give them birth,
and when reared, what are they? What
do they amount to but weak scions of
the old stock? Who ever heard of a
fashionable wOmans child exhibiting
any virtue or power of mind from which
it became eminent? Read the biOgra-
phies Of our great men and women. Not
one of them had fashionable mother
Taey nearly all sprang from strong
minded woman, who had abont as little
to do with fashion as with the chang
ing clouds. The trite saying, "a man
may say too much, even on the best of
Subjects" will answer here. IF had
not lifted up the stone you would not
have found the Embellishments

Ranges of Nevada.


sFron the San Francisco Call
I rode once with soma cattle buyers
through the stock ranges of Nevada. My
pony-it was called Bob-had drifted into
Nevada, Utah, and was known as q buffalo
hunter. Bob was as mean looking as
sheared sheep and ss bulist-headed IS a
political opponent However, Bob and 7
got along very well the first day of our
acquaintance got along, in fact, about ff-
ty Nevada miles, which I have carefully es-
timated to be equal to sizty-Ave Christian
miles. The next day Bob was tired, or
cross or bored. He had regarded the wastes
OF ssge-brush disdainfully, while I threaded
my whip upon him, and lunched OF the
sage-brush. while wore out my spurs on
his shaggy sides. Then led him few
miles and he regarded me in big-eyed med
itation. Whsn / remounted, which I did
appeared SO broken up that I felt sorry
I determined to go No further that day
than the ranch house We were approach

to my cruelty. just before We reached the
house herd of csEtle reached us. 1 may
say reached for US. A big bull, the big
gest and widest I remember ever to have
seen, selected Bob and me for target.
Considering Bob's condition, I was about
to dismount and take my chances afoot
when Bob started. 1 believe he thought he
was ectered for the Derby. You never sa~
such a remarkable rate of speed atts;aed by
such remarkable gait. Bob would alter
nately roll himself ap IN q ball and stretch
out to three times his normal length, his
head would get out of sight into his ahoul=
ders and then go out Of sight in the dis
tsnce. Suddenly Bob stopped-very sud-
denly-so suddenly that it unsested my dig
nifty and pose. Looking about I discovered
the cause to be that the bull had stopped.

just as suddenly as the bull began charg-
ing the other way. and Bob-that fool of
Bob-began charging the bull. If the
bull had been a peck of oats Bob could
not have displayed more earnestness in the
chase.
Between my anxiety lest Bob should
catch the bull, and not knowing what to
do with it, and my uncertainty as to my
seat, I was very unhappy. Bob, however,
appeared to be having a real good time.
The chase was kept up for miles, and un-
til the bull suddenly stopped short, and
swung his big-horned head around at Bob
and me, as we came along. Both lodged
beautifully and then the bull chased us
awhile. The thing was kept up for hours.
IT the bull wouldn't chase us Bob would
chase the bull; it was all the same to him
just as much fun for one as another.
reckon we chased each other-Bob and the
bull and about fifty miles. when We hap
pened upon g little oasis and Bob and the
bull began browsing the expected grass
together in the most friendly manner. L
excused myself and walked back to the
ranch.
