Painting RIackened Eyes.

The other day my attention was at

of a tintypc establishment, which set
forth the fact that black eyes and
bruises were painted and red noses
were made natural color. | asked
the "facial artist" whether there was
much of a demand for his services.
lie said: Eyes; every day men or
bows come here with blackened eyes
and bruised faces. | never ask how
any one is injured, but simply paint
the spot over with carefully mixed
paint. Professional fighters have come
to me after a battle TO fix them up
so as to appear to have received little
damage"

Sitting Bull at the Telephone.

When an Indian can not explain n
thing on natural grounds he attributed
the mystery to the action of the Dicty.
1t is the Great Spirits doing. well
remember Sitting Bulls introduction
to the telephone, writes Captain King
in the Courier-Journal. 1t was his
first visit to the States, and was bid
den to st. Paul TO meet the old schemsr
in hopes of getting something out of
him about his share in the Custer
battle. OF this, however. he would
not talk and | don't blame him. for is
soon transplred that he ran away with
the squaws.
But we had some fun out of him.
Ills nephew, Spotted Horn Bull. was
of the party. We seated him IN = oo;-
tain office at the telephone with an in
terpreter to show how to wock il. and
then marched the old man several
blocks away to the Pioneer Press
building, and then asked him if he
would not like to talk with cSpot."
lie smiled contemptuously when the
telephone wa pointed out to him. but
as the agent assured him it was no
joke hc was persuaded to ask some
question in the Sioux language. IIo
did so with shrug of his blankcted
shoulders and an incredulous grin on
his face.
The next instant he started as
though shocked; the ear trumpet
dropped from his ncrvelcss hand, and
he almost fell out of his chair.
"Waukonl" was his only explanation,
which might be translated "the
devill' Spottc Horn Bull had an
swered him in Sioux and nearly scared
the life out Of him. lie would not
touch it again that night.

Hens as an Aid to Pench Raising.

Level-headed farmers in Connccti-
cut have for several years past been at
work reviving an old industry-the
growing of peaches for market. Fifty
years ago the peach crop Of the Nut
meg State was an important item, but
the trees ran out after time, the
orchards were cut down, and apples
and other small fruits took their place.
After giving the land long rest, the
industry was revived again about ten
or twelve years ago, and each succeed
ing year the peach premiums at the
several agricultural fairs has been in
creased in importance until they have
drawn out some of the finest samples
of the fruit raised north of Mason and
Dixon's Line.
AS to cultivation, there are as many
methods as there are individual grow
crs. The simplest was that practised
w William Platt of Newtown, for
merly very successful grower, but
who is now an inmate of the Middle
town Insane Retreat. Mr.. Platt used
TO spade up circle around each tree
of perhaps three feet in diameter.
Into this he planted or sowed very
sparingly corn, oats, buckwhcat, and
other cereals. Then he turned his
large flock of hens into the orchard
and let them scrat Ii for their living.
lie claimed that by this method he
kept the earth about the roots of the
tree loose end easily permeable by
rain and dew, and the hens, besides
gathering the corn and oats. acted as
insect and worm destroyers, keeping
si.s-a-.-.a--ss emo asaas hoe f,,a,.a4lar,l,-
ers and other pests, which would 9th
erwise have to be looked after with a
sharp eye. Mr.. Platt used to raise
peaches the size end flavor of which
gained him wide fame.-TNew York

around the world IA 1-2 times. There
are l04 900 locomotives; England has
80 locomotives for every 100 miles of
road, while in the United States there
are only 10 to every 100 miles. The
railroad capital of the world is estima-

A PatagOnian Child Doctor.

When a child in Patagonia is sick, a
messenger is despatched for the doctor,
and never leaves him until he comes
with him. AS soon as the doctor ar
rives, he looks at the sick child, and
then with much ceremony rolls it up in
a piece OF skin. He then orders clay
plaster, and by this time the child has
ceased crying, soo.hed by tie warmth
of the skin, and 50 rendering still more
solid his reputation as wise man.
Yellow clay is brought and made into
thick cream with water, and the
child is painted from head to foot,
causing him to cry again. "The devil

and undoes Two mysterious packages he
carries, one contains rhea sinews
(ostrich) and the other rattle made
of stones in a gourd decorated with
feathers.
He then fingers the sinews, mltter-
ing something for few minutes, then
he selzes the rattle and shakes it vio-
lently, staring very hard at the crying
child. Then wraps it in the skin again
and it ceases crying. Again it is
painted, ratified at and stared at, and
again it cries. This is done four
times, and then the cure is considered
complete. The doctor leaves the child
quiet, enfolded in the warm skin, and
goes his way, having received two
pipefuls of tobacco as a fee. Strange
to say, the child generally RECEIVERS,
but it it does not, the doctor gets out
of the difficulty by declaring that the
parents did not keep the medicine
skin tightly around the child, and so
let the devil get back again. This is
the only treatment sicN children in
Patagonia are ever known to receive.

ITse Good FIour for Pastry.

The use of good pastry flour is a
matter more essential to the prepara-
ton OF 'pgffGt,t' Fd'f ~. y y 'e''''5s
cake than anything else. Good cake
or puff paste which is a mass OF deli
cate crisp LAYERS cannot be made from
bread flour Since the introduction
of the 'tpatent roller" process in mill
ing, the best bread is made from spring
wheat grown in favorable sections of
the country. Pastry flour must be
made from winter wheat in order to
possess the requisite qualities. Fer a
long time after the introduction of
he patent roller winter wheat was
ground by the old process, and this
flour went by the name of cold pro-
cess" flour.
All flour now is ground by the pa
tent roller; and by improvements in
the last few years as much gluten, it is
said, is saved by this method as by the
old ,roccss. An excellent pastry flour
is made of pure winter wheat at st.
Louis and at Baltimore. There are
several brands of so-cal ed pastry flour
in market, which are prepared from
spring wheat merely "softcned," as
the dealers term it, witha little winter
wheat. This -four is offered as COM
promise and is recommended as good
for both bread and pastry. In point
Of fact it is inferior for both uses.
Nothing shows the lack of "softness"
in the -four made Of spring wheat 50

tough, dry cake.-[New York Trib-
