take few hasty notes through the
window. We think Rachel Brayfogle
did some of the prettiest hitting that
has been seen on the Ridge this sea-
son. She knocked two of the Mill
party cold with a flatiron and dragged
at least one of them out on the east
porch by the hair of the head.
19rThis little scrimmage resulted,
as have all its predecessors, namely.
in the utter and awful rout of the Mill
crowd, male and female. This is the
third time they have intruded upon
Ridge society within the past six weeks,
and each time one-half of the gang has
helped the other half home. One would
imagine hat by and by they will get it
through their heads that they are not
regarded as moving in the same circle
as Ridge people.
1rOf the ball itself it is superflu-
Gus to speak. Its every feature was
managed in the most happy manner,
and there was absolutely nothing lack
ing to make it an event long to be re-
membered with the keenest pleasure.
AsHln closing, we wish to deny en-
phatlcally the rumor that your corre-
spondent lost an ear. Our antagonist
exhibited something at the Mill which
he claimed was our ear, but we have
absolute proof that he stopped at the
slaughter-house on his way home that
night and faxed an ear for the pur-
pose. Shame on such conduct, say
ven. Y. World.

RULES FOR SWEEPING.
How to Use q Broom without Exhaustinj
All Your Strength.

How to Use Broom without ExhaustinR
All Your Strength.
The first requisite to easy sweeping
Is a good broom. When buying select
one with light, slender handle and
long, plant straws. A thick handle
adds unnecessary weight. is clumsy to
handle and tiresome to the hands.
Coarse, heavy straws are too
brittle, they break off easily, and the
broom soon wears out. To determine
the quality of the straws it is neces-
sary to examine them carefully, push
ing the outer ones aside with the fin
gers. so that the inside may be seen,
for frequently a layer of longer. slen-
der straws on the outside is used to set
off very inferior article.
Having obtained good broom, my
first injunction is do not grasp the
handle too tightly with the upper
hand. Let the hold be light enough to
allow the handle to slide up and down
through the hand with each forward
and backward swing of the broom. This
will prevent your putting too much
weight on the broom, which is an i'm
pOrtant matter. and, what is still more
important, save much unnecessary
twisting of the body and working OF
the arms. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the hold be not too loose, as
that will render the broom unsteady.
Again, always work with the upper
arm, never the lower. towards the d.
rectiOn in which you are sweeping,
changing your hold upon the handle,
the upper hand for the lower and the
lower for the upper, as frequently as
you turn about to go in an opposite d.
rection. This keeps the broom in its
proper position, which is as nearly
perpendicular as possible. and, since
it is the lower arm that supplies the
power that operates the broom, this
change is restful to the arms and
shoulders by dividing the labor be-
tween the right arm and the left,
and frequently changing the po-
sition of the body. If you have
not been accustomed to doing this.
you will find it little awkward
at first, but it will soon become quite
natural to make the change, and you
will be surprised at the ease and thor
oughness with which you can do your
sweeping, as compared with the old
method of retaining the same hold up
on the handle throughout.
Lastly. do not make too long stroke
with the broom. Nothing is gained;
while, on the other hand. much labor
is wasted by throwing the broom so
far back that only the sides of the
straws are at first applied to the floor.
and by extending the stroke so far to
the front that the broom rises into the
air, sending the dust flying in clouds
through the room. Use the broom
tightly and briskly, keeping it close to
the floor, and making stroke of but
from two to two and half feet in
length; and if, while observing all the
foregoing rules, you will in addition
sweep crosswise of the strip of carpet,
you will find the result to be great

SOCIETY At JUG RIDGE.
The Misses BrayfOgle Hold Brilliant an
Charming SOiree.

The Misses BrayfOgle Hold Brilliant and
Charming Soiree.
13-The scribe wishes to return his
best thanks to the Misses Brayfogle
for the courtesy of an invitation to be
present at the delightful dance given
by them Friday evening. 1t is seldom
that more brilliant or congenial COM
pany is assembled for social purposes,
even on the Ridge.
16~The one disagreeable feature
was the fact that RUDE Cypert broke
two fiddle strings, and having, as he
claimed, lost box of new strings on
the way to the dance, he was unable
to furnish music such as the occasion
warranted. The truth is that Rube
was up to his old tricks and made
frequent visits to bottle he had hid
den under the side porch. Look out,
RUDE; you are not the only man in
this neck o. woods that can play ''Dan
Tucker" and crowd the notes of a
waltz together like dried apples on
string.
k6%We must say we were not little
surprised to find several of the Stover's
Mill crowd present as big as life and
twice as natural. To our inquiry Katie
Brayfogle informed us that they were
there without invitation. Communicate
ing these facts to few of the Ridge
boys the festivities were postponed for
the time being and the Stover's Mill
party given three minutes to take their
ladies and abdicate or fight. True to
their low instincts they chose to fight,
and fight it was.

THE CUSTER MASSACRE
What Indian Agent McGillfcuddy ma
Learned About 1t.

What Indian Agent McGillicuddy Has
Learned About 1t.
In his long service as Indian agent
DR.. McGillicuddy learned from the
Sioux many interesting facts about the
Custer massacre For years after that
horrible affair the participants in 1t
were very 10th to talk OF it to white
men, but as the agent gradually gained
their confidence they told him, little
by little, the whole story. Sitting Bull
had 5000 warriors on that occasion.
That is said to have been the largest
force of Indians ever encountered py
American troops in a single engage
ment. Custer had over 800 cavalry
and some Crow scouts. He divided his
forces about equally and sent Major
Reno with one body to attack the lower
end of the Indian village while ne
charged at the upper end. The Sioux
all agreed in their statements to DIR.
McGillicuddy that their surprise was
complete. They were engaged In re-
peling Reno at one end, when the
buglers at the other end gave them
their first warning of Clusters pres
ence. They were disconnected, and
were on the point of giving way for
general retreat when Reno, to their
establishment, drew off. This permit
ted them to turn their whole attention
TO Custer, the white chief with the
yellow hair"
They told how they managed to
make the massacre complete. The
ground was broken and Custer was un-
able to handle his men in cavalry for
nation. He dismounted them, leaving
every fourth man to hold the horses.
The Indians threw themselves first on
the men with the horses. shot them
down and stampeded the horses. They
did this, they said, because they knew
that the bulk of the ammunition which
the soldiers carried was on the horses.
This done, the rest was easy. 1t was
only the question of few minutes till
the cartridges in the belts of the SOL
diers gave out. and then there was no
more ammunition.
81 see." said DR.. McGillicuddy,
''that every now and then some man
announces himself, in the East, as the
sole survivor of the Custor massacre
You can always put him down as an
impostor. There was one man who
might have escaped. He was young
surgeon named Lord. His body was
not found until long afterwards, and
it was at first supposed he was cap
tive. The Indians told me a strange
story about Lords death. They said
that when he saw how things were
going he started off. Several young
bucks followed him, but he had a good
horse and kept ahead of them. Just
as they we're going to give up tho
chase and intending to let Lord es-
cape. he drew a pistol and shot him.
self dead. l suppose he was crazed
at the thought of becoming prisoner.
The only person with Custer who sur
vived was a Crow scout. When he
saw that the fight had gone against
the cavalry he drew his blanket over
his head so that the Sioux might not
recognize him Us a Crow, jumped
about among them and howled and
gradually edged his way out of the
fight and made off. 1 believe he is
still about the Grow agency. Sioux

TRAINING OF GIRLS.
Shameful Lack of Physical Development
Noticeable Everywhere.

Shameful Lack of Physical Development
Noticeable Everywhere.
There is shameful lack of physical
training of women, and it is becoming
more and more apparent. You have
only to notice the girls going to and
from our high schools, Summaries and
boarding schools to see that they are
not as rugged and we'll developed as
were their mothers at the same age.
The deterioration in physical quality
is not so great among the daughters Of
those engaged in manual labor nor in
the girls who do more or less work.
The physical culture of women is
sadly neglected, and this nation is go
ing to suffer from it before long. be-
cause men inherit much from their
Mothers Even now the cities are
drawing largely on the country dis
tricts for healthy, hearty. well-devel-
oped wives; but unfortunately the
country is not taking many of our thin,
poorly-nourished girls in their stead.
They are not worth their keeping in
the country.
This is not saying that they are not
intelligent, educated and we'll man
nered, only that they are not fit for the
wives of farmers and mechanics. They
can only shine in parlors, and the ex-
tent of their labor is to put on their
own clothes. do little fancy needle
work, decorate china, play the piano
and be ornamental.
1t is an actual sin to allow girls to
grow up in this way, and parents will
find it out sooner or later. Maybe not
until the judgment day, but they will
find it out. Amy other form of ill
health is no worse than this, so that
you may as well allow your daughter
to contract, the opium habit or any
thing else that will unfit her for the
position of wife and mother. There
would be no more harm in it.
The rational conclusion, and just
3ne, is, therefore, that the mother who
raises daughter in idleness. and with
out proper physical culture, is COM
hitting grevious sin. Not only is
she bringing sufferir g and misery upon
her daughter, but she is consigning to
posterity burden that is hard to bear.
Il -O~
Some interesting facts and figures
are given by M. Marian in his COM
munication to the London Academy OF
Medicine on alcoholism and Criminal
ity." He says that in examining the
history of 5000. criminals undergoing
sentences of various lengths he found
that of the vagabonds and beggars
there were 70 per cent. who were con-
firmed drunkards; Of assassins and in
cendiaries from so to 81 per cent; of
thieves and swindlers IL per cent;
while OF those convicted of violence to
