The Stepmsther.
The day died out In dreariness and dread,
Grim shadows crept through hall and corridor,
While fading freight lurld fiickering shed
Athwart the paneled walls and oaken floor.
Around the cherries hearth the children crossed,
Pale, patient, brooding DER the dreaded morrow
AXE hali-nedged birds forsaken In the nest,
TOO cowed TO weep too dulled with gloom and
sorrow
upon the wall the treasured portrait hung,
That well remembered smile forever gone,
ihat pure white neck round which their arms
had chung,
Those lips once warm with kiss and benson.
Al every fancied football, white with fear,
Tne children started, trembled, glanced around,
eazed In each others eyes and seemed to hear
me strangers voice in every passing sound.
How Will she conner with frown or baleful smile
Yet fearfuler, to greet the shrinking throng7
HOW look, how speak7 Why tarries she mean
while,
Thus wantonly their torture to prolong?
AT last she comes Hush, hush, unwelcome
guest,
Usurper OF dead rites and dearest TEST
All, not false fears; it is a vision blest-
An angel stands before their glistening eyes,
With such smile as mild Madonna wears
ohl such look--s0 gracious and so meek
fhe twilight gllmmering round her golden hair
And tears OF tender pity on her cheek.

Bottiing Milk

They are closed air-tight, and either plung.

boxes and covered with broken ice. The
result is TINT this milk, after being sent to
the city and delivered to customers, will
keep perfectly sweet week or even ten
days We have no doubt, that family
going to Europe with young children, might
use one or two bottles q day during the ten
days voyage, and notice no difference be-
tween that used on the first and on the last
day. TO put up milk in this way TO keep
thus long, requires healthy, well-fed cows,
clean stable free from odors, quick milk
ing, quick handling, air-tight jars and
prompt icing, and besides it is probably
necessary that the milk should be kept cool
II not cold, all tho time. II would be next
to impossible TO get common farm hands or
even common farmers to do this work uni

A Ranch In Dakotnh.

+" The vast plains of the West always eff
ford new sources of delight to the ndyen-
turous spirits who reside there" said the
young politician and ranchman, Theodore
Roosevelt, to reporter.
" In what way is the delight experience
II" qneried the reporter.
:" In many ways. When time grows
heavy, mount my horse and ride for miles,
see new lands that perhaps few eyes have
gazed upon, and maybe no human foot has
sver trod upon. The plains are somewhat
similar to the Russian stecpes, rolling, ,in,
even, inhabited by hardy race and given
up to pastoral pursuits entirely. Much OF
the land is even unoccupied by herdsmen,
and the coyote and fierce grizzly hive taken
possession. My ranch is on Little Missouri
River, sixty miles from the town of Medic
ra, the nearest postoffice. The population
of Medora is about 200, and the principal
business there is saloon. keeping. Dead-
wood City is $50 miles south. The Grow
and Sioux reservations are not very far dis
TINT. My ranch is built of cottonw God logs
and chimney built of stone md brick.
The fireplace is very large and vide, and
cold days when the mercury freezes, which
makes it about fifty degrees below zero. n
big blazing fire of logs is built The rooms
are large and comfortable. Attached as
part of tho ranch proper are the stable
sheds and smithy, and 100 yards distant is
the horse corral, some fifty feet in dieme
ter. In the centre Of the horse corral Is I

A NOVELTY IN SURGERY.
Putting an Electric Light Inside of
Bone.

An electric light inside the hip bone

witnessed recently at the Postgraduate
Medical School, in East Twentieth

old, in the college of Burlington, Vt, slip.
ped on the pavement about two months ago
and strained his thigh. He soon lost the
use Of his left leg and suffered excruciating
pain. He came to New York, was placed
ON a cot in the Postgraduate Hospital, and
yesterday DIR. J. Milton Roberts, Profess
sor in the institution, performed on him
remarkable operation.
The young man was put under the in
auence of ether and DIR. Roberts, with
scalpel, laid bare portion of the hip bone
about three inches wide. Then he called
into play bone-cutting machine, invented
by himself and called the electro-osteotome,
1t is worked by an electric battery and can
reyolve surgical instruments IL, 900 revoIu-
tons, if necessary, in a minute.
The doctor attached small drill to the
instrument and cut ont portions of the hip
boneup to its head, distance OF four inch
es. These pieces of bone under the
microscope showed disease The doctor
then used still larger drills until there was
space large enough to admit the entrance
of mans finger. He now wanted to SEQ
the exact condition of affars inside of the
bone. TO do so he used novelty for this
class of work tiny incandcscent electric
light about as large MS a pea. This Dr.
Roberts introduced inside of tho passage in
the bone, md the several flashes of light
enabled him to see just where the diseased
bone was. Then he took up his drill again
and cut out the diseased bono wherever it
was necessary rs easily as II the bone were
open before him on nh operating table. DR..
Roberts put in drainage tube to take off
diseased matter that might form, sewed up
the wound, and applied antiseptic b.nlages.
A hypodermc injection of morphine was
given to tho patient anl when he recovered
from the effects of the ether he was in a
satisfactory condition, and it is conjectured
that he will in comparatively short time
be able to use his disabled limb. -Neto York
