MEprcINAL PROPERTIES OF yEeEr BLEs.

Spinach has direcs effect upon the
kidneys. The common dandclion, used
as greens, is excellent for the same pur-
pose. Asparagus purges the blood. Gel
cry acts admirably upon the nervous sys-
TEN and is cure for rheumatism and
neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beets aud turnips are excellent appetiz
ers. Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling
in their effects upon the system. Onions,
garlic, leeks, olives and shalots possess
medicinal virtues of marked character,
stimulating the circulatory system and
increasing the saliva and the gastric
iuices. Red onions are an excellent
diuretic, and white ones are recon-
mended to be eaten raw as remedy for
sleeplessness. They are tonic and nutri-
tious. A soup made from onions is re-
garded by the French as an excellent re-
storative in debility of the digestive or

A NEW WOMAN'S CLUB.

An Association That Will he Productive
of Much Good in Our Social Life.
The college bred women of New
York and its cluster of surrounding
towns and villages are founding club
of their own where they may meet and
exert their influence toward the promo
ton of literature, art and the hundred
other questions in which they are inter-
ested.
It is new idea, born of desire to
effect higher development in all those
departments of life and industry in
which intelligent and educated women
are peculiarly interested. So far as we
can recall, no city in the union has an
organization of this kind If the pio-
neer one here is what its projectors
hope it will be we may be certain that
the women in all these cities will fol-
low the example of their metropolitan
sisters.
The influence of a club Of this char
acter laid down on broad lines and in
telligently directed would be incalcula-
BILE. II would count for all that is
noble and elevating in our social life.
1t would be an aid to good government
to the highest and best development OF
the American principle irrespective OF
mere partisan parties and methods.
It would set the standard Of good taste,
of the proprieties and amenities The
leaders Of the new organization are un-
doubtedly aiming at an ideal such as
we have outlined. If they are, they
will have set in motion an association
which may become one of the very

Lucky Rusc That Saved Western

Mr.. Carlyle had many encounters
with tho Indians while on the plains ia
the old days Of stage-coaching He
tells of one that has vein of comedy,
as they say of the melodrama. Mr..
Carlyle was out With new driver,
fifty miles east OF Cottonwood, now

redskins had taken possession of one his
posts, and likewise of the whisky.
The whisky had in turn taken posses.
sion OF them.
The coach was too close to the station
for fight, and, besides, there were about
two tons Of mail and baggage matter
around-too much for fast travel. So
Carlyle determined that the only way
to do was to brazen the matter out.
He drove quietly up to within hun
dred yards of the station, and Chamber
ing down from his seat coolly set about
watering his horses.
The Indians were hilarious. They
clustered around Carlyle and greeted
him noisily. "How?" "How7" slapping
him terrifcally on the back. One buck
was particularly hearty in his slap, and
almost stove in Carlyle's shoulder, mad.
dening him with pain. Carlyle was at
the time lifting a bucket of water from
the we'll. With all his giant strength
he swung the heavy iron-bound bucket
at the Indians head The latter ducked
and the bucket slipped downward, com
pletely enveloping his feathered head.
And there the heavy vessel stuck, and
the more Mr.. Indian tried to wiggle out
of it the tighter it stuck.
This struck all the other Indians as
highly humorous, They crowded around
the unfortunate buck, hooting and
screeching. They rolled him along the
plain, they kicked him, they buffeted
him, they cast handfuls of dust upon
him, and had merry little picnic rid
ing around on their wooden-headed com
rade. U.fr. rw ,...
! While this picnic was In progress
Carlyle was busy. He had cut the
straps that held the coach's heavy car
go of baggage, thrown off part of the
mail, and bidding his frightened driver
to whip up, the coach was soon making
good time towards Cottonwood. When
the Indians had tired of playing with
the bucketed buck and prepared to loot
the coach they found it rapidly disap-
pearing. With renewed screeching
they raced back to the stables for their
ponies and, mounting, set out in pur-
suit.
Carlyle, sitting on the top Of the
coach, fought them off with his long
range Henry rifle, and there was a very
pretty running fight all the way to
Cottonwood, the Indians dropping the
pursuit as the town was approached. -

leading to the front steps of house on

house, and she had right to walk any
way she chose. That disgusting Brown

own business and stop watching her.
So she was saying to herself when

the banana peel which had caused her

came from the window of the house
next door.

muttered, scornfully, tossing her head
toward her enemies. "Well, it's game
