One year mas passed. AGAIN lhe
silent City of Rocks has lost its sharp
outlines in the shimmering heat of a
July afternoon. On the bench outside
of the stage house door Me the
station-keeper, is sitting, reading a
month-o newspaper. On the elge Of
the water-trough opposite him, Frank,
the helper, is mendlng horse-col lar.
Presently Nate threw down the paper
and said, 'WsA,1'll be durnel = Fl ank

Frank nodded his headed. He was

Ye rec lect how many questions he

Il knowed that said Frank, in a
tone that resented haying his interest
excited to no purpose.
OF course You know it, replied Nate
calmly. Didn't he perk up his head
like a grass fed caynse and tell ye so
when he brought her down the line

the way of it was this: She bucked

Remedy for Headache.

When in certain painful affections the
physician advises the use of cold applica-
tons, and if the effect from them is not
pleasing, then that hot should be tried, the
patient is likely to consider it rather an un,
certain sort of treatment, of doubtful value
either way. 1t is, indeed, rather a curious
thing that heat and cold can often be used
INTERCHANGEABLE with like effects. Extreme
heat will destroy the skin, and extreme cold
will do the same. Now, headache is some
times relieved by hot applications, and yet
in some instances it aggravates the trouble.
In case of the lattef, oftentimes ths cold APP
plications will effect a cure. AS general
rule throbbing headache, witt tenderness
and soreness of the scalp, can best be re-
heved by hot applications. Whereas, where
the head feels full and bursting" if cold be
applied to the head and heat to the neck and
spine, the effect is most agreeable. Probably
one Of the best external applications which
is most serviceable in the different forms Of
headache is menthol. A solution Of that
should be made in about the proportion of
one drachm of menthol to ten Of alcohol.
1t can be applied on thin strip of cloth
large enough to cover the forehead That
should be kept wet with the solution. 1t is
very cooling, and the effect in many cases of
headache is very agreeable from the first
Boston Herald.

A particularly rustic and charming effect
can be produced with the stems of the crane
vine and the five leaved ivy or woodbine.
The former should be about as thick as O
slender finger and cut into lengths of ten
inches. These pieces should be soaked in hot
water that they may be easily handled, and
holes can then be made with a penknife about
an inch from each end of the pieces. A piece
of steel hoop is then passed through thee
holes and the ends burned to make them bend
that it may be fastened The distances
should be evenly arranged, and another piece
OF hoop passed through the upper ends in the
same manner, breaking off the steel so as to
make the basket thirteen inches in diameter.
The sticks should be two inches apart, and
three more pieces of hoop should be put at
equal distances from top TO bottom, that the
weight of earth may not split the sticks.
Pieces Of hoop are then fastened across the
bottom, and vines of the five leaved ivy are
woven around the hoops at the top and bot
tom of the basket, and also around the mid
die, not forgetting a long handle or support
er Of the same material The basket should
be hned with moss, and it is then ready for
the earth and plants. -NewYork Star.

Semi-Centennial Honey.

A remarkable discovery has been made at
the Cathays yard Of the Taft Vale Railway
company. A large elm tree, grown in
Worcestershire, was being cut up into tim
Der, when, right in the very heart, a cavity
measuring feet by ~ inches in diameter
was discovered, almost completely filed with
the comb of the honey bee, togethe: with a
squirrels skull
No means of access to the hollow was dis
coverable, neither was decay anywhere APP
parent, and around the cavity itself no less
than fifty rings" each ring denoting years
growth, were counted, the outer bark being,
too, without flaw. Tho hollow was of uni
form size throughout, and presented the APP
pearance of having been bored with an auger,
and, great though its dimensions were, twas
practically filed with the comb, proving that
the bees must have been in possession for
several years. Empty combs of the queen
bee also showed that they had swarmed
How the bees got there can only be guessed,
but it is surmissI that squirrel once occu-
pied decayed hole =, the tree, cleared away
the decay, occupied tbs cavity as it's own,
and there died. Then the bees entered into
possession and filed the whole with confb,
when by some means the entrance, which
HIuSG nave oeeh siuall, oceanic stopped, the
large quantity of grub and fly being taken as
demonstrative that the nest was not volun-
tarily deserted.
Then for fifty years the growth of the tim
Der went on. The entrance being absolutely
obliterated, and the hole being Theoretically
sealed, the comb was preserved from decay
for half q century, to be found at last in the
way described. The find is of the greatest
interest to naturalists. Public Opin-

among other rules from the south Slavs, the
following: Cucumbers must be grown three
nights in moonshine. Trees for house timber

How stupid is ignorance, AMI how
depraving is supertition, can hardly
be estimated.
Ia New Orleans on Tuesday ten
white women, poor but of hitherto
good reputation, were held by the
police court on a charge, that will
bring feeling OF humiliation and a
blush of shame TO white civilization.
They were arrested while engaged in
Foudon dance (whatever that is)
with lot Of negro men. These white
women, first listened to the talk of
negro Doctor, possibly from curl
osity. His reasonings and assertions
had go much effect with them that
they agreed to try the negro faah
cure for their ills, or supposed Ills.
They visited his home from different
parts Of the city, and he finally yaine1

to implicitly obey hiIH. lie then lei
them on, until they were finally
drawn into the Touclou dance. They
were in almost a nude state, and were
jumping ar"ui.d and cutting up furi-
opsly, when the police arrested tho
whole party, doctor and all.
These cold, discourscinr, humil-
iating facts, should forever teach the
whites that it is not difficult for those
with little or no information to be
influenced hy even the darkest and
most offensive superstitions lt.is be

and supe-gtitions Of their own race,
