TEN DAYS IN A TREE.
A Chinese Miner Sustains Life on Old
Boots and Medicine.

A Chinese Miner Sustains Life on Old
Boots and Medicine.
A Chinese miner, who, with q COM
panion was lost in the snow amid the
rugged mountains of Plumas County,
Cal, was lately found, nearer dead
than alive. For ten days he lived in
q hollow tree with nothing to eat but
Chinese medicines and scraps of leath-
er cut from his boots. When rescued
by party of white miners his feet,
from which he had cut the boots for
food, were terribly frozen and he was
SO weak he could hardly move. The
searchers could find no trace of his
companion, who is certain to have
perished.
Some time ago two Chinese miners
started out from place called
Browns Hill to go to village some
sixteen miles distant, called La Porte,
with the intention of buying medi-
cines for their fellow countrymen in
the camp. The weather was good, and
the two Chinese proceeded safely over
the snow to La Porte, procured the
medicines, stayed over night and
started back the next morning. Dur
ing their trip back a snow storm came
up and the Chinese became bewilder-
ed and hopelessly lost in the rough,
mountainous country. They each had
different ideas as to which direction
to take, and finally quareled and sep
nrated. One of them had not gone far
before he found hollow tree, wherein
he was somewhat sheltered from the
storm. He had matches with him and
built small fire, and crouching over
that, he lived for ten days.
When their companions did not re-
turn to Browns Hill, the Chinese be-
came alarmed and went to La Porte,
where they ascertained that they had
been there and started back. Then
white men We're notified and search
parties went out.
The other day one Of these searchers
named John Kitrick, while searching
with a companion for the lost man,
noticed smoke down in canyon. He
went down there and in tree found
the poor Chinese nearly dead. Leav-
ing him there, Mr.. Kitrick went for
help, and the unfortunate man was
taken to the settlement on sled.
His experience during those ten days
had been fearful. AS the pangs Of
hunger came upon him he took off his
boots, parched them over the fire,
and ate them and drank the medicine.
When he found his boots We're all
gone and his feet frozen, and he was
so weak he could not stand, he had
given up all hope. So grateful was he
that when camp was reached he gave
his rescuers $50 in gold dust, all that
he had.

Mrs. p, G.. Adams,

Thousands Of women, especially in tho
spring of the year, nervous, tired. have
headache, sick stomach, fainting spells, diz-
illness, scanty or prOfuse mcnses, weak back,
constipation, their sides, shoulders and limbs
ache constantly-in fact, they suffer from
general debility Of the whole system. The
superior tonic qualities of McElrees Wine of
Cardu make it the leading remedy for this
class of troubles.
Mrs. u. G. Adams, ChattoogaYillc, Ga,
writes; Two years ago was taken sick with
indigestion, fainting spells, constipation, fall
ing of the womb. and various other symptoms,
and kept getting worse and worse. After
taking four bottles of Nc cElree's Wine of ar
dui in connection with 1hedford's Black

that a woman can do"

GOOD PREPARATION FOR CORN.

Some growers will not accept the
statement that half the culture of n
corn crop should be given before the
corn is planted, but thousands attest
its truth, remarks an exchange. The
food of the plant must be prepared be-
forehand, and that is accomplished by
tearing the sod IN a most thorough
manner. If the land has been properly
plowed with the use of q jointer, five
or six inches under the surface, it will
decay rapidly. We are after the mil
lions of roots that form the sod. With
disk or spring tooth harrow they
should be torn to pieces and every
clod of earth pufverized. There should
be four inches of soil on the surface,
ready to surrender up its plant food
to the young corn plant. The tramp
ing of the horses and the preparation
of the seed beds firms the earth and
grass at the bottom OF the furrow, SO
that soil water from beneath can rise.
The grass readily ferments and gives
up its plant food. The coin plart has
n chance to do its best, has the heat
fermentation gives, has food, has the
needed air that passes in when or
ganic matter is present in the soil, and
has moisture from beneath. OF course,
it takes q little more time to prepare
seed bed in this way, but with i'm
proved implements the work is done
rapidly, and after tillage is saved

A HORSE THAT CANNOT BE LED.

1t is the fault of the training that q
horse cannot be led by a halter. This
should be the first lesson taught to the
colt. 1t is difficult to teach an old
horse, but it may be done by an ex-
perienced person by using strong
halter, and taking short hold of it, so
as to control the head, and thus lead
ing the horse in small yard. Posi-
bly, the horse has been whipped for
this fault, and the association OF ideas
causes his refusal. Try little sugar.
Poultry should not be kept in horse
stable, as they are usually infested by
lice, which then go on to the horses.
Horses have been worried to death in
this way without the cause being sus-
pected. Mix pint of kerosene with
as much strong solution of common
soap, in hot water, and beat up to
cream. Add quart of water, and
beat it up some more, and sponge the
horses with the emulsion, brushing 1t
well into the hair. 1t will kill the lice.

crLrIyAr1oN no PRoMorE FERTILITY.

The first purpose in cultivation is
to make the soil fine, SO that seeds
may germinate freely in it, and the
roots of plants may run freely through
it. But an object scarcely less i'm
portant is to increase soil fertility
by mixing surface and under soil to-
gether, and thus promoting their fer
mentation. 1t is for this that corn
potato ground is narrowed after the
seed is planted. On moderately rich
soil two such Civilizations are equal to
the addition of several loads of man
ure per acre. An incidental advan-
tage is that such narrowing of the
surface destroys all weeds as quickly
as their seeds germinate. - Boston

The secretary OF war has issued
instructions requiring all officers OF
the army on June 30th OF each year
to make individual reports, except
general officers and chiefs Of each
staff, corps or department..
The Kansas City Times says
"The Eleventh infantry appears to
have a difficulty in securing the
proper timber in its own regiment
for a sergeant major, if the number
of destinations reported by those
out OF the regiment tells the true
story" 1t Is not possible that there
is a regiment in the army lacking
men in its ranks with qualifications
for sergeant major in these days Of
"college and university graduate"
enlistments.
Leave Of absence for fifteen days
has been granted Col. Oversham,
Third infantry.
Lieutenant Depay has returned
from Omaha to his station at Fort
Clark, where he is regimental adju-
tant of the Twenty-third infantry.
1t is not known if he will receive
the appointment as aide on the
staff OF General Coppinger.
Company c, Eighth infantry, has
established a new worlds record for
company shooting. 1t scored re-
cord Of 1892 points out of possible
$500. The record was formerly
1851, and was held by company B,
First infantry. The new magazine
rife was used.
The Army and Navy Register
says that the troops of theThird cav
airy, still at Forts Reno and Sill,
will move to Jefferson barracks
July lst, as the new stables at that
post have been at last completed.
Lieutenant General Schofield,
commanding the army, arrived at
the post this morning, and was re-
ceived with the usual military
honors. The General makes an in

partment headquarters today, and
will leave tomorrow morning for
Ell Paso. The General arrived on a
special car OF the c. B. & Q. line
and was taken to the post over the
switch at 9 o'clock, where he was
received by the department COM
mander and staff.
The London papers are bestowing
high compliments upon a number
OF army officers. Lieutenant II. II.
Sargent, Second cavalry, is another
author who is receiving due praise
for his book entitled Napoleon
Bonaparte's First Campaign. The
Times gives it unusual praise and
says he should follow it up with
the subsequent campaign.
