Looking Into a Muzzle.

About eighteen miles west of Tucson
there is slightly rugged elevation known
as the Point of Rocks. 1t was about 30
p m. as we neared this point. The road
there is very sandy, and Joe allowed his
faithful steeds TO proceed In a slow walk
under the heavy draught. Some storm
clouds were mastering in the northwest,
and this gave hope, even promise, of a
grateful shower for our special delight and
refreshment, when suddenly, and without
any preliminaries, the stage coach stopped,
and the muzzle of an old shooter 80
caliber Spencer carbine was thrust in at
the south door of the coach, next to which
my friend, the doctor. was seated.
THE carbine was seconded by a handy six
shooter, which rested in the fingers of the
hand supporting the rife barrel and be-
hind these two weapons lowered the burly
form of a daring highwayman. He was
over six feet tall, and was erect and ath-
letic in build. His coat was worn wrong
side out, and such portions of his panta-
looms as were tucked inside his boot tops
were roughly covered with pieces of sack
ing. His features were hidden behind a
much-soiled mask, and a black SLOUGH hat
with very broad brrm covered his head
About his waist were two belts of cart
ridges, one filled with ammunition for the
carbine, and the other for the sx-shooter
Understanding bowie knife swinging to
his side, and an extra pistol in his belt
completed his costume and equipments. AS
the carbine appeared at the stage door the
hammer was drawn back the lock clicked.

and thus the robber was suffered to live
without so much as even a hostile demon

out The mail pouches and the Wells-Farso

Taken by Surprise.

THE appearance Of the robber had been so
unexpected that he was prepared to send
a ffty-caliber bullet through either of us
before we were aware that we had been at
tackled. The robber guns were at full cock
and within five feet of my breast and un-
der these circumstances my own pistol,
lying upon the floor, was of as little service
to me as If it had been in New York. The
doctors pistols were equally useless. as

We hear a good deal about lice or
poultry and ticks on sheep, but there is
rarely any mention of the parasites on
hogs, though these animals are tor.
mented equally with the others by lit.
tie insects which feed on them freely.
These parasites, which are doing their
best to render our f%attening ration of
no avail, are easily destroyed by the
ever useful kerosene emulsion. When
a dip in the mixture is not practicable,
a spraying machine can BE- used with
good effect.
The kerosene emulsion is made by
boiling a pound of soap, hard or soft,
In a gallon of boiling water. Then
add to this two quartso of kerosene. and
the lather of the soap will cause the
oil to mix so that it will not again sep
arate. Kerosene emulsion may be made
with milk instead of with soapsuds,
but the best place to apply milk to hogs
Is on the inside. For destroying YER
min the soap lather emulsion with kerr
osene is quite as good, and perhaps bet
ter. as the soap helps to clean away
any scurf from the skin.
But it is of little use to clean the
hogs or other stock OF lice. whilst leav-
ing their pens. beds and places of re-
sort untouched. Old beds must be
cleaned out and burned with every ves-
tige of stuff that remains in any place
to which the hogs resort. These places
are the breeding, terminating nests of
the merciless lice and must not only be
tho roughly cleansed. but as thorough
ly saturated with emulsion as the hogs,
and every nook and crac k, every cram
ny and corner be thoroughly drenched
