4 SOLDIERS THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

81 read in New York paper the
other day old Indian fighter Carroll
Bronson's story of how he was once
'calpcd by Indians" said former resi-
dent of Laramie, "and it reminded me
shat have met two men in my time,
both at Fort Laramie, who were scalpcd
and got well. Tho story of one of
these, soldier named Delos G. Sam

The first actual description, l believe,
that any one has ever heard of how it
feels to be scalrcl. While he was in
the hospital at Laramie I heard him tell
the story many times, and every time it
made me shuddcr, as it docs still when
ever think of it.
"Sanbertson belonged to tho United
States Infantry, which was part of Gen.
Clusters command in his CAMPAIGN
against the Indians, in 1869. He par-
tIcipated i'll many of the engagements of
chat campaign, the most important of
which was the fight with the celebrated
Black Kettles band on the Ouachita.
1t was in this fight that Sanbcrtson was
wounded and scalped by the Indians,
and remember that nearly all of the
old frontiersmen said that he was the
only person they ever knew up TO that
time who had been thoroughly and un-
mistakably scalpcd and lived 10 tell it.
"For some days before the meeting
with Black Kettle, Clusters scouts had
been bringing in reports that the willy
chief was campcd with a large following
somewhere on the Ouachita, and there
no was sending out predatory bands OF
his warriors to plumber settlers and i'm
migrant trains. Custer decided to hunt
him up and punish him. The infantry
was two miles in rdvance of the cavalry,
when one day, just at daylight, it came
in sight of the cnemy's camp.

The Curious Bibles.

The curious Bibles is general name
given certain editions of the Bible which
ARE priced by bibliomaniac,, not for any
intrinsic value, but because they contain
certain odd misprints or mistranslations.
Foremost among them is the Brooches
i bic, so called because in the third
chapter of Genesis it speaks of Adam
and Eve rs having ''madc themselves
brccchcs" Of fig leaves This edition
first appeared in 1860. in quirto form,
and we owe it TO the English rcformcrs
cXi.cd Mt Geneva. During the rain Of
Queen Elizabeth it served as the regular
fnmily Bible, its popularity being large
ly due to the Calvinistic comments that
literally bcsprinkled the margin. The
Bug Bible. which appeared in London
in 1851, and was originally known us
Matthew's Bible, is indebted for its
curious sobriquct to the fact that tho
fifth verse of the ninety first Palm is
translated, $50 thou shalt not need to
be afraid for any buggcs by
night" Tho original idea Of the word
"a goblin or spooll-is still to DO
traced in bogie, bugbear, bugaboo.
The Wicked Bible, printed in Loudon
in 1851, was so called because tho Mega
ton was omitted in the seventh COM
mandmcnt, so placing an awful injunc-
ton upon the faithful. This is much
sought after, because it was promptly
suppressed, the printer being fined $500
by Archbishop Land. The money, it is
said was devoted to the purchase of n
supply OF Greek type for the University
of Oxford The Vinegar Bible was
printed in 1717 at the Clarendon Press,
and is so known because the parable of
the vineyard in tho title to the TWEEN
ticih chapter of st. Luke is printed
"parablc of the Vinegar" The Wing
or Placcmakcr's Bibc obtained its
name from an error occurring in st.
Matthew, ", 0, where "Blcsscd aro the
placcmakers" is substituted for "pcacc
makers" The Trcaclc Bible has the
passage in jeremiah, "Is there no balm
in Gilcadl" rendered, as there no tre-
acle in Glcad}" and tho Douay Romau
Catholic) version has been described rs
the Rosin Bible, because the same pas
sage has the word rosin instead of trea-
Gle. Many years ago there existed in
the Stowe library the Book of Gospels,
on which the English kings down to
Edward vi. took the coronation oath,
with tho huge brazcn crucifix, which
the monarchs kissed on its cover. The
binding was of pondcrous oak boards

huge leather thongs. The Printers

BEEF 4 La MODE,

Three pounds of tho vein or any
coarse part OF beef that is solid meat,
and half pound Of fat pork. Pierce
the meat in several PAGES with knife,
and into each hole thus made put n strip
OF pork. Lay the beef in an carthen
pan with bay leaf, sprig of thyme,
four sprigs of parsley, two onions, me-
dunn size, with Glove stuck in each,
half blade of mace, half n carrot and
turnip, and gallon of water, with half
a saltspoonful of pepper The pan
should not be much larger than the
meat. Cover closely, using comm on
flour and water paste around the edge to
prevent the steam escaping and set in a
good oven three hours. A wincelass
more water should be added, with a
tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce
and half one of vinegar. When done
take up the meat carefully, strain the
gravy, skim and season, and pour it
over the meat. Do not add the salt I'M
iii the gravy is done, as pork varies so
much that you may get it too salt with
very little added; you must go by taste.
The pork can be laid on top of tho beef
instead of being drawn through it.

EiTel Tower for Sightsecrs.

Professor Kimball of the Johns Hop.
kins University, in an interview with q
Baltimore SIN reporter, expressed the
opinion that the Eiffcl tower of Paris
would never prove of any service to
science. The professor destroys at one
blow the claim of the tower to special
advantage on the score of height by
pointing out that there are numerous
hills and mountains of greater altitude
in France which could be made use of.
The chief drawback of tho tower, from
n scientific standpoint, is that it stands
In the midst of an atmosphere necessa-
rily impure, and that it is subject to
such jars and other disturbances as would
render observations with delicate instru-
mcnts impossible If these criticisms
are just, then all that can be said for
the great tower is that it is not re-
mnrkably prcpos;cssing piece of iron
architecture, from which a good view of
Paris and IFS environs may DO obtained.

Robins Nest.

Iknew three robins who lived in nest
Not very long ago,
Whero tho summer winds that blew In the
west
Rocked it to and fro,
Swinging and singing among the leaves
Watching the busy world gathering shoaves,
Noting tho pattern of life that weaves
AS tho shadows come and CO.
First there was ono oil alone-that was
Not very long ago;
Then camc another, so strong and free.
Whstling sweet and low;
Il robin with great, soft melting eyes,
Dnwned into my life like glad surprise,
Singing of love in robin wise,
Little one yes or nor
Oh, how the katydids chorusing in,
Not very long ago
Sang to tho stars with their musical din,
Over my joy, you know,
Called till the moon came over tho hill,
And touched all the nj hit with n silyery
thrill,
Our leve-crowned nest with its beauty to
fill,
While tho katydids sang so low.
We built us nest with loving caro-
Not very long ngo,
Out in the west, I'll tell you where,
BY the beautiful rivers flow,
Tint laughs up North in tho little blue
lakes,
And sings rs its winding path it takes
10 the shore where tho CULTS green billow
breaks
And the salt tides come and 20.
Blue was tho river and blucr tho skies
Not very long ago
When flew to our nest, where the three
hills rise,
By the rivers murmuring flow;
Home lights OH the hill sang "Homsn as I
sped,
And the river sang "IIome" in its pebbly
bed,
And the starlight CLEANED in tho skies over
head
And danced in tho river below.
Ono day while winging our happy flight,
Not very long ago,
My glad day shaded to dusty night
Dear love-" l called, 'must goY'
But like moonbeams that brighton the mid
night tide,
His strong love hcdgcd me on every side,
and my tired wings still in his strength
abide
And tho summer brcozcs blow.
One April morn, through the white soft mist,
Not very long ago,
n golden sunbeam lightly kissed
MY story is OIL l know
a weo "bron birdie that cooed in our nest
Pressed to my heart his fut cring breast
The love in my life was thrccfod blest-
Sweet was his song, and low
My Robin flies md my Robin sings
Flut'cring to and fro,
And my heart is full OF the love he brings
And the songs TINT he sings to show
That love i'll tho soul never grows a-cnld
And the heart is young while the head is old.
And the tale of tho morning is never told.
Though the long years como and 20.
Whistles my Robin: ''Thc sun looks west
Though the clouds drift to ard fro;r
softly answer him, Cod linowc,h best,

SO we swing in our nest when tho Juno skies

And we wing our way by "still watorsn

and say that they should not be peeled,

they will be easily di,cstcd. In the

The Old Fashioned Mill

The Old Fashioned Mill
There's an old-fashioned mill in a
valley near home,
Whose wheel long Is idle and still
as in death;
While over its threshold the rabbit
may roam,
Unstartled by murmur or even a
breath.
But once on a time in my youth was
blessed,
While there in the cleaning we
n stood, she and 4,
And laughed as we asked what the
the mill wheel expressed. -.
For sometimes 'twould sing and
again il would sigh,
Till at last then | said, ut is telling
10 you II
The story which long have
hungered to tell "
One quick. startled glance from those
dear eyes of blue
As they drooped and she murmur-
ed, "Tis well, dear, It's we'll"
Then still stood the mill wheel /;
what more need it say
To us, as we stood IN the twilight's
last gleamY
A calm benediction, the close Of the
day,
And a sound as Of prayer from
the murmuring stream.
