Counting, or sparkling, in those early days
was not a filtration, but an affair of the
heart, and was conducted in the natural
way. The boys and girls who were predis-
posed to matrimony used to sit up together
Sunday nights, dressed in their Sunday
clothes. They occupied usually a corner Of
the only family room OF the cabin, while the
bed Of the old folks occupied tho opposite
corner, with blankets suspended around 1t
for curtains. During tho earlier part OF the
evening the old and young folks engaged in
a common chit~chat.
About y O'Clock the younger children
climbed the ladder in the corner, and went
to bed in their bunks under the CARROT roof:
and in about an hour later father and
mother retired TO bed behind the blanket
curtains, leaving the "sparkersH sitting at a
respectful distance apart, before a capacious
wood fireplace. and looking thoughtfuiiy
into the cheerful flame, or perhaps into the
future. The sparkars, however, soon broke
the silence by stirring up tho fire with a
wooden shovel or poker, first one and then
the other; and every time they resumed
their seats somehow the chairs manifested
unusual attractions for closer contiguity. II
chilly, the sparisrs would sit closer together
TO keep warm; II dark. to keep tho bears of.
Then came some Whispering. with a ahearty
smack" which broke the cabin stiffness and
DISTURBED the gentle breathing behind the
suspended blankets, so as 10 produce a slight
parental hacking cough.

SENATOR CoSKLISG Is great patron
Of the manly ant, and seldom fails 10 be
a conspicuous spectator OF the pugilistic
encounters which take place in New York.
When asked what he thought of such ex-
hibitions, he said be saw no harm in
them 80 long as they were not brutal. 1T
is time enough to stop sparring, he said,
when Il passes the verge Of sparring and
becomes an attempt to iniure a man. But
when two men arc evenly matched. and
each Is striving his best. there is, in my
rieu. nothing harmful in the combat
The grave and conriy senator conde-
seconded to express an opinion upon the
peculiar features Of the Boston boy. He
said: Sullivan Is a wonderful man. He
could not stand the punishment that
Tom Hyer could, he Is not 50 active As
Yankee Sullivan. nor 80 strong as John
Morissey. but 90 combines these three
qualities that he is the best man l ever
saw. and I've seen . great many Of them.
| believe. could a man be found who could
stand the punishment Sullivan can give
him for FIVE rounds, he would have a fair
chance Of vhippine the champion. The
trouble is, such q man cannot be found
or rather has not been. Sullivan is 9
fighter and a deyer fighter. in the eondi'

"~scoTcHEo SALMON"


A Brutal Mode Of Preparing n Fish for

Washington Cor. New York Tribunal
There is here a set Of young men which
even In New York would pass for fast They
spend q great deal Of their time devising now

VIII has recently returned from Europe, had
rhere seen tho srotching Of a salmon, and he
forthwith decided to show some Of his friends

Canada A splendid fellow. weighing about
twenty pounds, was caught for him in the
R~estigouche river. packed in a wnter-tight
tub, and forwarded to Washington. would
not dare to say what II cost TO send the fish
here. It was certainly not less than IS a
pound Tho most elaborate pr epnrations had
been made to do justice TO the process Of
cooking It
A dozen or moro Of the young mans boon
companions were invited to witness the pro-
cess. At the proper time all assembled in
the kitchen, into which the tub containing
the salmon had been carried. On the range
stood q copper boiler imported from England
for the purpose. Its inner sides were lined
at regular intervals with blades Of steel as
sharp as knives. The young man ut oncs as
sumed direction Of matters. Cold water,
WIS put, by his orders. into the boiler on the
range, and the salmon's quarters changed
from the tub to the boiler. 1t took three
men to manage the sslmon. As soon as this
was done fire was built under the range, and
the fish was slowly boiled to death. or
cours as the water got warmer and
warmer, he would plunge about more and
more. With every movement he made his
body would come into contact with tho
knives and be ripped open 1t wns nearly
t-hree-quartars Of an hour before the fish was
dead, and = full hour before it was 1T to DO
served.
Ono Of the young men in relating the story
to me said: ut was a disgusting sight, l toll
you It made mo almost sick, and IL l had
not feared 1t would offend the host ] would
have refused to eat OF the dish 1t was,
though, the best salmon / ever tasted. You
see the scotching takes out all the milk
which IA 30 Objectionable In fish when less
than twenty-four hours old, puffs out the
flesh and makes 1t light, and you get at the
same time all tho good qualities Inherent in
fresh fish. It looks, when done. almost like
popcorn" He added laughingly: There
ought to be some punishment provided for
reopls who delight in such cruelty for the
sake OF gratifying their stomach. Tho line
used TO be drawn at the scaling of live fish
and tho skinning OF live cells; but 'scotching'
salmon. you will admit, Ia worse than

DR.. II. J. Detmers, Of the agricultural
department. devoted the past season to a
thorough personal investigation Of Texas
lever and comes TO some conclusions
which are very unique and plausible il
nothing morn. The cause Of the fever,
he says, is not to b. found in either the
climate or high temperature Of Texas.
The infectious principle is a kind Of
beciIi, which finds It's way into tho Texas
cattle from their feeding on a mixture Of
new grass and tho old grass after the lat
ter has commenced to decay from the in.
nuence Of the warm spring rains. Hav-
ing taken n GOOD meal of this heritage

Dr. Dctmers takes up the peculiar laws
Of this disease. which the Western cattle

cattle may feed IN their ranges and eat
this mixture Of fresh and decaying grasses

But, as already stated. AFTER one good meal

and every water hole at which they drink.
Let the herd be started north before the
old grass has begun to decay and they will
not endangcr the northern pastures. The

that the further south the cattle came

plentiful supply Of irewater, and came to
Mr.. Axes house, about one mile above
North Fork. The Axe family consists at
the present time Of young Axe, aged
about IS years, and his grandmother, n
lady over 20 years old. On entering the
house the Indians asked for a glass with
which to drink their whisky, aud we're
highly indignant when offered a tin cup
They then demanded glasses, which being
furnished. they proceeded to abuse the
old lady somewhat and dispatch their
whisky, doing the latter in very short
order At this stage young Axe came
home and was ordered to procure more
whisky for the thirsty braves; on his re-
fusing they began beating Axe and his
grandmother with their quirts and break
ing things up generally. Axe claims to
have been thrown down and handled in a
pretty rough manner, but he and his
grandmother managed to escape from the
house, the Indians still following and
beating the old lady. Axe, seeing their
