The best Of these dogs were worth $500,
or even more. One herder, whom we met
at Cold Spring ranch, showed us a very
pretty n that lie said he would not sell
for $500. She had at that time four young
puppies. The night we arrived we visit
ed his camp and were greatly interested in
the little mother and her nursing babies.
Amid those wild, vast mountains, this lit
tie nest of motherly devotion and baby
trust was very beautiful. While we were
exclaiming, the assistant herder came to
say that there were more thar twenty
sheep missing. Two male dogs, both
larger than the little mother, were stand
ing about, with their hands in their
b~reeehes, doing nothing. But the herder
said neither Tom nor Dick would find
them; Flora must GO.
1t was urged by the assistant that her
foot was sore, that she had been hard at
work all day, was nearly worn out, and
must feed her puppies. The boss insisted
that she must go. The sun was setting.
There was no time to lose. Flora was
called, and told to hunt for lost sheep,
while her master pointed to a great forest
through the edges of which they had
passed on their way up. She raised her
head, but seemed very loath to leave her
babies. The boss called sharply to her.
She rose, looking tired and low spirited,
with head and tail down, and trotted
YEARLY OFF toward the forest. 1 said:

Tie next morning l went over to learn
whether Flora found the strays. While

When Edison, genius and inventor as he
is, had given two weeks of his valuable time
to going up and down on the New York
elevated railroad, trying to discover what
caused its noise and a cure for it, he gave
up the job. Then a little woman took it.
She rode on the cars three days, was deni-
ed a place to stand on the rear platform,
laughed at for her curiosity and politely
snubbed by the conductors and passengers.
She discovered what caused the noise,
invented a remedy, which was patented,
and she was paid a sum of $40, 600 and a
royalty forever. Her name is Mrs. Mary
Walton and she lives in New York city

III II CENT.
why the Cent of 1893 is said to be so
Rare.

Du.
The first American cent was struck Oft
and circulated in 1893. Previous to this
date several patterns had been struck off,
but these were experiments, and were not
circulated. The so-called washington
pennies which existed previous to
this date, were not issued By the
The cent of 1898 was very similar in APP
pearanee TO those of later dates. Instead
of the wreath, however, it bore around the
words 'one cent? a chain composed of
thirteen links, but this type was changed
in the first year of issue. Gents were is
sued annually until the year 1857, except
that during the year 1915 none were coined.
The small nickel cents made their appear
ance in 1857, and the coinage of the copper
cents heretofore in use was stopped. Some
of the old cents are quite rare, and con-
sequently are now valuable. The rarest
cent is that of the series of 1899, and it is
said that the scarcity of cents of this date
is owing to the fact than a firm in Salem,
Mass, which was then engaged in the slave
trade, obtained a large quantity of these
cents from the mint, drilled holes in them,
and slipped them to Africa TO exchange
them for slaves. The African chiefs would
string them and wear them round their
necks. If this story be true eager coin col
lectors are more likely to find specimens
of the cent IN Africa than in this country.

log CABEs -GRANDMoTHERs.

An Indian doctor has recently discover
ed in a common weed whose medicinal
qualities have never before been suspected,
a valuable remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this facs.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it
one has only to pour hot water over the
leaves of the plant. In its preparation 10
vast chemical works and appliances are
required.
Is it to be wondered at since such plain
iy prepared remedies are acco united as of
such great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grandmoth-
ers, whose teas and i~nfusions of roots and
herbs and balsams, have exerted so great
an influence in the maintenance of health
and life ?
Certainly not.
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
us most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success of grandmoth-
er's remedies was their freshness and SIM
plicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. Dreading to call a doctor
because of the expensiveness of his far
made trips, they Immediately gave attention
to the disease an d routed it before it had
gained a foothold,
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown. and perehance be-
specialized in rough silver, her weary feet
enacased in ''hum made slips, is
the dear sweet nurse who rises to the view
of many a man and woman to-day as the
early years of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmothers's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cab
in healing has been for years the desire of
a well-known philanthropist in whose an
cestral line were eight ''goodly physicians
of the old style, men who never saw a med
ical college save in the woods, nor a
medical diploma except that ms cribed
on the faces of healthy and long lived pa
tients. Much time and money was expend-
ed in securing the old formula, which to-
day are put forth as LOG Cabin remedies"
-sarsaparilla, hops and buchu, cough
and consumption, and several others, by
Warner, who name is famous and a stand
ard of medical excellence all over the
globe. These Oldest, newest and best pre-
parations have been recognized as of such
superexceilence that to-day tEey can be
found with aIlleading dealers.
When Col. Ethan Allen was making his
tory along our northern frontier during
the revolution, Col. Seth Warner, the fight
ing Sheridan oftnat army. who was a skill
full natural doctor, used many such remed-
lies. notably like the Log Cabin extract,
s~arsaparilla and cough and consumption
remedy, among the soldiers with famous
success.
They are a noble inheritance which we

J forefathers, and using, reap, as did they,

GOOD COFFEE.

For good coffee, Soyer's recipe is: "Put
one ounce Of ground roasted coffee into a
saucepan. place it over a fire, keep it stir
ring until it is quite hot, taking care that
it does not burn; then pour over it quickly
one quart of boiling water, cover it imme-
diately, keep it near the fire TO draw, , and
fill your cups without shaking the grounds.
You must have a saucepan with a lip for
this, and a cover that fits tightly over all"
The secret is in heating the coffee grounds
first, so that they yield their oily particles.
You can heat them in a tin pie plate,
put the hot coffee into either the cheese
cloth or the metal strainer of a coffee-big-
gin, pour over the boiling water and serve
at once. Either of these are much more
economical ways of making coffee than the
old plan of boiling half the aroma away.

TO MAKE SOAP.

For hard soap, take six pounds of sal
soda, three pounds of Stacked lime, six
pounds Of clean grease, four gallons of
soft water, or rain water, ard half a pound
of resin. Put the soda, lime and water on
the fire, let them first come TO the boiling
point, then set the liquid aside over night
to settle. Pour off next morning the liquid
only, put it over the fire, add the grease
and resin and boil slowly until fit for mould
ing, which will be in about two hours.
Pour it out into a tub or tight box, and
when cool cut it INTO bars. The above
quantity should make twenty-three
pounds of the best hard soap at a cost of
four or five cents per pound. The Stacked
lime is not drawn from the whitewash pail.
but is quick-lime that has been exposed
to the air long enough to become a powder,
when it has less strength than in its origin
al state when it is known as ''quick-lime."
Here is another, you can take your choice.
Five pounds of grease, twelve quarts of
soft water, one box of %saponiher. Put
the grease and water in a kettle. and, when
they are melted, knock off the top Of the
box of %saponifer, and throw box and all,
except the top, into the kettle. Boil over
a slow fire for three or four hours until it
becomes ropy, then throw in ten cents
worth of borax. Let it all boil half an
hour, then put in a handful of salt, stir
well and pour it in a tub to harden. Cut
it in pieces and lay them separately to
dry. If any of the soap sticks to the side
of the pot pour in a little warm water, stir
it we'll and let it boil again; it will make

One of the great evils of American life : the
attempt to believe that we are getting "sone-

lieying that money is saved by the purchase
of low-priced article of inferior quality, pc
cause il will. to a certain extent, answer the
purpose, while a better one that VIII DO better
Service and is really worth double the money
expended, costs a few dollars more.

DR.. +. c. Goodrich, prominent physician
Of Augusta, ia, writes the result of his in
yestigstion of the baking powder question.
Il regard Prof. liorsforls powder as health
full and nutritious, it being composed of
phosphate acid and bi-carbonate of soda.
The excellence of this combination is so uni
versslly commended by ply sician. and chem
ists. that my Endorsement is simply superb l.
Gus. Bread made from unboted or Graham
-four, is more healthful than that made from
refined -four, simply be 'ause the latter has
been deprived OF the nutritious phosphates.
Horsfords powder restores to the flour the
phOspbates removed in the boiling process
and increases the food properties of the bread
by that amount The phesphates aid the di-
gestion. and nouri.h and invigorate the brain
and nervous system. and Prof. Horsford's
method of supplying them with our daily
bread is certainly wonderful triumph of
scientific genius. d&wlm
