An African Kings Testimonial.

1t is not often that circus "artistes''
find their way into the realms of South
African native chief, but when they do it
would seem that their reception is likely
to be very enthusiastic, says the 50.

a Cape Town circus recently journeyed
to the far-oiT regions of ANA Swaziland,
and there gave a display of his skill and
power before Chief Umbandni at his
"great place" So pleased was Umban-
dini at the performance that he forth
with dictated a testimonial gratis. Here
it is:
"We gladly certify that you have per-
formed at our Royal Kranal, Swaziland,
on rings, poles, chairs and sticks; that
you also have played with an iron tree,
aud also carried large cannon on your

lie Saved His Leg.

L. Mckay tells how he prevented the
loss of his leg, writes the Milford CORE
spondent of the Boston Globe. He was a
co. poral of the First Massachusetts,
Heavy Artillery, and while taking part
in the battle of Hatcher's Bun, Oct. 27,
1864, he received a compound fracture
in the left knee joint from a piece of
shell. The story is told in John D. Bill.
ings' volume, Hard Tack and Coffee, I"
the author of which is an intimate
friend of the subject of this sketch. Mr..
Mckay was taken to the hospital, which
stood on Capitol Hill, before the bloody
repulse at fredericksburg. One of the
surgeons decided that it would be best
to have the leg cut off. The nurse was
accordingly instructed to prepare the
patient for this surgical operation. In
his absence the corporal consulted a
wounded comrade near by, and the re-
suit was the corporal decided that the
leg must not come off. He induced his
friend to loan him a revolver, which he
put under his pillow until the surgeon
and his assistant appeared. The latter
brought a stretcher and were about to
approach the couch OF the patient, when
asked: "What are going to dop
"My boy, we will have to take your
leg off, )" replied the surgeon.
"Not if l know myself" replied the
wounded man, in language that made
the surgeon understand.
This surprised the medical student.
He stopped as if dumbfounded, but soor
demanded the assistants to 'take the
corporal up carefully.n In an instant
he pulled the revolver from under hi!
pillow, and pointed it at the surgeon
and attendants, exclaiming: "The mar
who puts hand on me dies" The mer
stepped back, and the surgeon tried tC
coax the corporal into submit sion, but to
no purpose. He told him his life could
be saved in no other way, but the
artillcryman insisted otherwise, and
added that if he died sit must be with
both legs on" The surgeon lost hi:
temper, and consulted the sugeon in
general, in whose company he soon re.
turned to Mr.. Mckay. Threats were
made which failed; persuasion was tried,
with no more success. An effort was
made to procure the revolver, but the
corporal would not have it, and in tit
of madness the two NJ. DPS turned away,
one exclaiming: 'Let the fool keep it
and die" At this time there was new
tangled cure introduced into the hospi.
tai, better known as the "water cure, u
by which can filled with water was
arranged over the wounded knee so as to
drip on the rubber cloth which en-
wrapped the knee. This was to be kept
running day and night, which resulted
in cure. Usually in the hospital was
employed a class of men known to the
members of the Grand Army as "army
bummers. They were afraid to go to
the front, and rather than be compelled
to do that service they would almost do
anything else. When a surgeon wanted
anything done right he would threaten
these men with active service, and this
was how the can of water over Mr..
McKay's knee. was kept full all the time.
Strange to say, Mr.. McKay's love
for his limb caused him to be
reduced to the rank of private, and
as such he was mustered out of service.

The announcement of an 'infallible
remedy" for seasickness, observes the New
York Commercial Adeertiser, ought to
prove tidings Of joy to a great many
people who in the pursuit of business or
pleasure, are compelled to experience
this tribulation. The latest cure is an
artificial alkaloid of great power,
which, some four years ago, Doctor
Knorr, of Germany, extracted from coal
tar. Whether the drug is pleasant or
disagreeable to the taste is not men
toned. But as it is scarcely possible for
any medicine to be more nauseous than
the illness it is intended to prevent, this
circumstance. cannot be of great import
ance.

secret of Cooking Tough Meat.

A thoughtful Western lady in letter
to the New York Times writes: 81 have
always disliked to be Obliged to cook
fowls over year old, because they were
not only tough, but l fancied tasted a
little bit strong. But here is a remedy
and you can always call them chickens.
After washing and cutting up put them
into the kettle and put in water enough
to cover and add spoonful of
soda. Let them boil a few moments,
then take out of the soda water and cook
as usual. Do not add the salt when in
the soda water. They are very tender
and the strong taste vanishes entirely,
In cooking beans it is very beneficial to
put soda in the water they are parboiled
in; it makes them tender and they are
more healthiul, as it destroys the ten
dency to produce flatulency, which is
very Objectionable to many who will not
use beans for that reason. There can be
no more healthy article of diet, for occa-
sional use, than this vegetable.
Another use for soda in preparing
meats is to boil tough piece of beef for
a few minutes in water that has a little
soda added. In cooking turnips little
soda will remove the strong taste that is
often observed in them toward spring,
and it is an article that can be used to
advantage in cooking almost any late
vegetable that is inclined to have a
strong, singing taste. People can
gather up many choice recipes and valu.
able hints from the different individuals
they associate with, if they will only
keep their eyes and ears open and notice
the methods employed in doing work
and preparing food.

The British Consul at Baltimore, in a
report to his Government ON the oyster
,fishehes of Maryland, says: "In some of
the lower counties, down the Chesapeake
Bay, oysters pass as current money, and
in one town which boasts of a weekly
newspaper large percentage of its
readers pay their subscriptions to it in
oysters; thus the editor receives from 100
to 200 bushels of oysters yearly, which
he is forced to consume in his own fam
ily, and, as oysters are declared by the
faculty to be most etiicacious in produc-
ing and increasing brain power, it is to
be hoped that the subscribers to that
journal get good value for their oysters. -

THE sIc1L1AN vEsPKRs
Silence DER sea and earth

Silence DER sea and earth
With the veil of evening fell,
As the convent tower sent deeply forth
The chime of the vesper bell
One moment, and that solemn sound
Fell on the willing ear;
But a sterner echo passed around,
Which the boldest shook to hear.
The startled monks thronged up
In the torchlight cold and dim,
And the priest let fall his incense cup,
And the virgin hushed her hymn,
For a boding clash, and changing tramp,
And the summoning voice we're heard,
And frettsd wall and tombstone damp
To the fearful echo stirred
The peasant heard the sound,
As he sat beside his hearth,
And the laugh and dance we're hushed around
And the fireside tale of mirth.
The chieftain shook in his bannered hall
As the sound Of war drew nigh,
And the warder shranll FROM the castle wall
AS the gleam of spears went by.
Woe, woe to the stranger, then,
To the chief and mailed lordl
They were gathered there, those doomed men,
To the harvest of the sword
For the wounded pride of an injured land
Had burst its iron thrall,
And vengeance cried, with blood.red hama.
''Woe, woe to the sons of Gaulr'
Proud beings fell that hour,
The young and passing fair,
And the flame went up from dome to tower
The avengers arm was there.
Then the morning sun, with quiet smiles
Shone forth DER hill and glen,
Der ruined temple and dome and pile
And the CHASTITY forms of men.
Aye, the sunshine sweetly smiled
AS its early glance came forth;
1t had no sympathy with the wild
And terrible things of earth.
And the man of blood that day might read,
In language freely given,
How i'll the dark and midnight deed
Became the light Of heaven

Cement to Mend Rubber Articles.

Get about tive cents worth each of rub
Der dam and red rubber at a dentists.
Cut piece of red rubber--say an inch
and half square-in tiny pieces, put in
small bottle, pour teaspoonful of
chloroform on it, and cork up tight. In
ten minutes it will be melted enough for
use. If the hole is large, take a few
stitches in it, then cut piece of the
dam considerably larger than the hole.
Wet the piece to be mended with chlo-
reform, then as rapidly as possible put on
a thick layer of the melted rubber on as
large a place as you have already cut your
dam. This can be done with a stick.
Now wet your dam with chloroform and
stick it on. If it is bad hole you can
put on little more melted rubber and
another piece of the dam. The rubber
in the bottle is ready for use next time
by adding the chloroform.
