Extinction of the Noblest of All the
American Game Animals.
1t is believed there are now only
few hundred representatives of the
millions of bison which, when, Fre-
mont crossed the continent roamed
over our great Western plains. A few
small herds have very likely escaped
the notice of hunters and settlers
Nearly two years ago residents along
the upper Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers reported that the bison was
probably extinct in that region. but
later the hunting party organized by
the taxidermist of the Smithsonian
Institution found herd of about fifty
animals in one of the valleys of East
ern Montana. where. in the midst Of
wild and uninhabited tract south Of
the Missouri, they had entirely escaped
notice. This region has since been oe-
cupied by ranchmen. and it is now
thought that the bison in his wild
state has entirely disappeared from
Montana except in the Yellowstone
Park and its environs, where, secure
from hunters, a few specimens still
exist. 1t is reported also that along
the foothills of the Rocky Mountains &
few small herds still range. almost a:
far south as Texas.
About two years ago the directors o.
the Smithsonian Institute awoke to the
fact that if they wished to replenisl
their inadequate and unsatisfactory
collections of this great game animal
it was high time to set about the task
1t was to the hunters employed by thii
institution that the best specimens o
the last herd in Eastern Montana fell ;
prey. Thus the few remaining Ameri

Bright Sundays.

Fanny Fern.
Let it rain every other day in the
week, SO that it be pleasant on Sun
day. Then let the sky be blue. Then
let the sunlight into your houses, place
flowers on your tables have an ex-
ira sweet morsel for little mouths,
and a pleasant word for everybody.
1 had almost said do anything but
make the day oneof gloom. Do any
thing that a man or woman may do,
and look the pure stars in the face,
but don't groan; don't set back the
chairs against the wall don't bring
out dry theological books for young
folks to read, written by library-men,
who never so much aspeeped into the
windows of a warm human heart.
Don't fold your hands over your
Sunday suit, and look the ceiling out
of countenance. Don't bride your
children to read six chapters in the
Bible; don't frown if they smile
don't let your young people long for
the going down of the Sabbath sun,
counting the tardy minutes like a
restless prisoner waiting his release.
Oh, anything but that las you love
truth above hypocrisy; as you love
honor and obedience beyond secret
licenses; as you dread the shadow Of
moral death on those bright, young
faces which 1 am sure you love.

Lady.

There is something ludicrous and
irresistibly comic in the way and
manner in which the word lady has
come to be used. "Woman," has
almost disappeared, and to call any
one of the female sex a woman, is to
insult her.
"Lady" is from an old Saxon word,
which meant q "loaf giver," or one
who went about giving bread to the
hungry. AS only the rich women
were able to do this, the term lady
was gradually applied to one rich
enough to give aims. Still later it
was applied to all females who were
able to live without labor. 1t was a
mark of distinction. But when it
was broadened in its use and applied
to every female it lost all its signifi-
canoe. An advertisement not long
ago appeared in New York paper
asking for position as sales-woman.
1t was refreshing to read it, for the
want columns are full of such words
as "fore-lady," "sales-lady," wash
lady," etc. u..lu
In the old days a girl was not
ashamed to be called a sales-woman,
needle-woman, and so on. No one
talks of a sales-gentleman No; man
is used for the male sex. Is not wo-
man as honorable a distinction as
man? Let us get rid of these snob-
bish and silly words, and let wo-
man be proud of the cognomen.
There is something old-fashioned but
grand in the simple word "Woman.,
Be woman On to duty
Raise the world from all that's low;
Place high in the social heaven
Virtues fair and radiant brow.
Lend thy influences to each effort
That shall raise our nature human
Be not fashions gilded lady
Be brave, whole-souled, true woman!

INFECTED FOODS.
HOW Many Dangerous Diseases Are Com

HOW Many Dangerous Diseases Are Com
municated to Children.
Milk, an important food, is known
to be singularly favorable vehicle
for the reception and communication
Of infection, and some of the circum-
stances under which it so acts are
known to be associated with lack of
cleanliness. To begin with infant life
We all know that the extent to which
children are deprived of the naturrl
secretion of their mothers breasts is
steadily on the increase, and that ar
tifcial feeding is more resorted to.
Among the poor, the methods under
which milk is stored and administered
in feeding bottles have been found to
contribute to that terrible mortality
from infantile diarrhea which we ex-
perience every summer The milk is
commonly slowed away in an unven-
tilated cupboard constructed in q
corner of the room, the air of which
is heated and rendered impure by
constant occupation; or perhaps 1t is
placed in pantry, often ventilated,
as have seen it, by means of VIM
dow overlooking The narrow space al
lotted to privy and ash-pit. The result
ing uncleanly eman ations arc rapidly
absorbed by the surface of the milk,
in which the growth of noxious organ
isms soon sets in. Such food admin
istered to infants has again and again
been a cause of suffering and death.
Or, again, the milk is put in feed
ing bottles, which, with their modern
appendices, it is most difficult to keep
strictly clean. Deposits of stale milk
occur at one place and another. de-
composition sets in and the formation
of poisonous .ptomaine, such as lacto-
toxide, tends to result. Some of these
substances have been sufficiently pow
erful to cause the gravest symptoms,
even in adults, who have experimental
with milk in which the changes indi-
Gated have taken place.
During recent years there have been
some striking instances of serious and
even fatal poisoning owing to the use
of articles of food which had been kept
in unwholesome places. communica-
ton with drain or being otherwise
so situated as to favor the growth OF
low forms of organic life. One recent
case was that in which seventeen out
of nineteen of the guests at a wedding
party in Carlisle were seized with
serious symptoms, including vomit.
ing, gripping, diarrhea and pYrexia;
one attack, that of the bride, terminat-
ing fatally. The cause was traced to
morbid changes in the food, which had
led to the production of poisonous
| prin ciples and to the development Of
specific organisms. Among the con-
ditions tending to induce such
changes, want of ventilation and move
ment of pure air, together with excess
i've dampness, may be noted. =

WORKING THREE HORSES.

How to Arrange the Draft So That Each

1t is frequently desirable TO work

horse team. There are any number Of
contrivances for equalizing the draft
on three horses hitched abreast.
There seems to be considerable diff.
Guilty, however in arranging the draft
SO that each shall have an equal share
of the work to do. The simplest way,
perhaps, is to have an evener made,
with clip or clever at each end, and
another exactly one third of the
length To the latter the plow or 9TH
er object to be hauled is attached. To
the clip at the end of the short arm
should be attached an ordinary two
horse double-tree for two of the three
horses, and at the end of the long arm
should be attached the single-tree for
one horse. In this manner the three
horses will be found to have an equal
load, and their work will be performed
easily.
There is another method which is
sometimes adopted, based upon the
same principle-that the two horses
are attached to the short arm of a
lever and the single horse to the long
arm, the point Of application of the
combined power being at exactly one
third the length of the lever. The
second method is this: A short iron
bar, not over eighteen inches long, or
even less. has three holes drilled
through it--one at each end and the
other at one-third the distance. This
is fastened vertically to the pillow beam
with the long arm uppermost. To the
hole at the lower end of the short arm
is attached long double-tree, so long
that between the single-tree there shall
be room for the third horse to work.
This horse has his single-tree attached
to hole in the long arm of the lever,
and in this manner the three-horse
team does good work. San Fran cisco

Speaking the Truth.

There is no better way to strengthen
the memory than by the habit of
speaking the exact truth. In some
minds there is a strong tendency to
exaggerate or diminish. To magnify
or minify. Various motives operate
to encourage this tendency. Aside
from its moral bearings, the habit Of
eXaggeration is injurious affecting
the memory. 1t is not enough that
one is able to recall facts in a general
way? Too much minuteness, indeed,
may not be desirable, but whenever
it is important that details should be
given, exactness is absolutely es-
sential (; not the least coloring of a
fact is justifiable. You may draw
upon your imagination to any
reasonable extent to illustrate a
principle or a sentiment, for the cases
are not supposed to have necessary
existence, save in the Imagination;
and if the principle or sentiment is
thus brought more distinctly to view,
the precise object sought is gained,
the principal and not the imaginary
or illustrative facts being the
central point of observation. But it
is otherwise with the relation of
events that have transpired or objects
seen; the imagination has nothing to
do with the relation and should be
utterly excluded, and the naked facts
only presented.

Your Best Friend.

Marietta Journal
There is one safe friend for every
maiden; it is her mother. Who
should you trust, in whom place con-
fidence, if not her? No one,else loves
you so unselfishly, and no one else
ever loved you so long. 1t is a pity
when girls are not confidential with
their mother. There are times when
every woman needs an older woman
to guide and help her, and her moth
err is at these times her natural coun-
selor and guardian. If she has no
mother, let her show her trouble and
unfold her perplexities to some moth
erly woman, aunt, sister, friend, in
whom she can believe. Many a
heartache would be smoothed, many
a vexation rolled away, and many
modification saved, if girls would
remember that they have not the
wisdom of Solomon nor the dignity
of Deborah as yet on their unwrink-
led brows. Situations that battle
them would be palmer to more eX-
perienced eyes, and they would be
guided over hard places.

Angels.

The existence of angels, as being
distinct from and superior to the hui
man race, is as clearly taught in the
Bible as the existence of God, or any
other fact or doctrine of that Rock.
The Savior tell us that "there is joy
in Heaven among the angels of God
over one sinner that repenteth." Re-
ferring to those whom He designates
as the "little Ones" He says that Sin
Heaven their angels do always be-
hold the face of my Father who is in
heaven" He declares that when He
shall come a second time in His
glory to judge the world, "all the
holy angels" will come with Him.
He spoke ofLazarus as "being carried
by the CANCELS into Abraham's bosom"
at the time of his death.

Angels were present at the giving
of the law on Mount Sinai. An angel
was deputed from Heaven to visit
and instruct the prophet Daniel. An
angel announced to the Virgin Mary
that she was to be the mother of
Jesus according to the flesh"
Angels came to earth and sang the
praise of God when Jesus was born.
Angels ministered to Him at the
time of His temptation, and also at
that of His agony in Gethsemane.
Angels were present at the sepulcher
in which He was buried, and an
nounced the fact that He had risen
from the dead. Two angels appeared
to the apostles and spoke to them
when Jesus assembled into Heaven.
Anangel delivered Peter from prison
in which he had been confined by
the order of Herod. Angels, alike in
the Old Testament and the New, are
repeatedly spoken of as messengers
sent to this world to execute the will

of God whether in the form Of wrath

of God whether in the form of wrath
or mercy. The doctrine of angels, as
a race of beings not resident upon
earth, different from men, yet cog
infant of them, and in the past
having had much to do with human
affairs, runs all through the Bible,
and attaches itself alike to the law
and the Gospel. There is, moreover,
not single passage in the Bible
that limits these angelic relations
and ministrations to past ages, or ex-
cludes theta continuance down to
this age, and onward to the end of
time.
