TESTED WITH SALT.
How an Apache Chief Selected Warriors
for n Hard Campaign.

In the early days of Union Pacific
railroading, Victoria, Mana and the
present Geronimo, the thres chiefs Of
the Arizona Apaches. with 100 of the
best bucks, came through to Green
River, Wyo. They had heard of the
heap wagon and no boss" and had
come to stop the train. They made a
lasso of rawhide and fifty men on each
side held on to the rope as the freight
came down the Wasatch divide. The
engine driver saw, when several
miles away, what the Indians were up
TO, so he whistled of brakes" and
opening his throttle let her loose. The
cowcatcher struck the rope and hurled
the Indians in all directions, literally
tearing them to pieces, headless, arm
less and legless. The three chiefs went
south to their cactus plants much
crestfallen. Before they selected these
men the old Chief Victoria had the2
all eat a piece of rock salt about as big
as pecan, run swiftly about 100
yards, sit down on a rock or log and
cross their legs. Then he watched the
vibration of the feet which were cross
ed. The feet which vibrated the
longest strokes he declined to accept
for a severe duty or dangerous trip,
or for one that was at all hazardous.
But he accepted the feet which vibrat-
ed short, distinct and regular strokes.
Now, what did that old chief know
about pulsation of the arterial system
or Of heart action, and, indeed, about
salt In the system? l have lived near
to Indian reservations and have had
occasion often to survey over their
lands for railroads and other objects,
and since this salt controversy have
wondered where old Victoria got his
idea. Is not the child of the sage
brush plains better posted than his
paleface brother?-New York Herald,

Helped q Poor Artist.

The million left by Sam Lewis, the
notorious London usurer, and the
benefactions that have come to light
since his death continue to be a nine
days wonder among his acquaint-
ances in London. Beginning his ca
reer as money lender comparatively
late and very humbly, he made money
with marvellous rapidity. One reason
for this was that he never lost any. or
hardly ever even at the gaming
tables, where he was delighted to take
his turn. To the poor people who
constantly applied to him for loans
he always replied that a poor person
could not afford to borrow. An artist
not long ago paid visit to the finan-
cier and told his story over the cigar
and glass of wine which Sam Lewis
had always at hand. The artists re-
quest was a modest one-he wanted
only $50. 81 could not afford to lend
it to you," said the prince of usurers,
but l don't mind asking your ac-
ceptance of it"--and he handed the
astonished applicant ESQ note.
This story, which the narrator
vouches for, seems to belle the asser-
ton lately made that in Sam Lewis
case only the dead hand" has parted
with possessions on which the living
hand opened never.

Size of Carriage Horses

A New York horse buyer recently
said: A horse that is 1872 hands high
and put up right, with plenty Of bone,
substance and quality, is big enough
to do any kind of work that a car
riage horse is called on to do. In nine
cases out of ten a horse of this size
will outwork and outwear a horse OF
sixteen hands or higher. You see he
isn't SO likely to pound himself to
pieces on the hard pavements for one
thing. Then again he has better COM
mand Of his legs than a tall horse has,
and therefore doesn't tire so quickly.
or course large horses are required for
large carriages on account OF appear
ance. A horse no higher than 1872
hands would look like a pony in front
oil some broughams and a pair of this
size hooked to an opera bus seating
six or eight persons would spoil the
appearance of the whole equipage, no
matter how handsome the horses might
be. But aside from the looks of the
thing, a short-legged, ig-bodied, four
cornered horse of the size | have
named could do the work and do II
fully as well as one full hand taller.

RussIa's Many WATERWAYS.

No other country is so prodigally
endowed with navigable rivers as
Russia. The rivers of Russia have
their sources within a comparatively
few miles of each other. all of the
great streams rising within the area
of the broad plateau of the north, so
that it was no difficult feat to con-
meet the headwaters of the numerous
rivers. The construction Of less than
400 miles of actual canals. made it
possible to travel by barge from Arch
angel on the Arctic, to Astrakan on
the Caspian, a distance of more than
5000 miles, from st. Petersburg to the
foot of the Urals, and from the Baltic
to the Black Sea by three distinct
routes, to say nothing Of Moscow and
numerous other inland cities which
were brought into direct water COM

CHAPTER XI.

While the girls were at the Manor,
and Harold was out on the farm. Mrs.
Dyneyor had a visitor. That was
nothing remarkable, for the gentle
mistress OF the Uplands was popular
both with rich and poor. The "coun-
ty" visited her as frequently as II she
had been a peeress, and her humber
neighbors liked to come and tell her
their joys and sorrows, sure that II she
could give little help in money her
sympathy was never missing. But this
particular visitor was utterly unex-
pected. seeing 1t was eight years since
Mrs. Dynevor had seen her, and nearly
seven since she had heard of her.

The years had evidently passed
prosperously to Mrs. Ransom. She
looked as though life had gone easily
with her. She was a pleasant. kind

quietly dressed in black. She had al
ways been a little above her position.
and, as Kitty said, Mrs. Lindon had
treated her more as an humble COM

she had always disliked Eustace Lin.

RAPPORT Was Not Explicit.

An embarrassing moment occurred
at one of the annual meetings of the

three inches long and pack in boxes
in a cold cellar regulated with ice so
the thermometer will stand at 50 de-
grees. An ord nary cellar will not do,
for If allowed to get too warm the
cuttings will commence to grow and all
be spoiled If allowed to freeze they
will not callus and thus fail to emit
sufficient roots.
What is Callus?-lt is law OF ma
ture that when root is cut or injured
the plant will repair the damage by
sending out new roots, but no new
roots will start until callus is formed.
Certain wood cells and a gristle-like
substance must form, and out of tnis
callus the roots start. The process re-
quires time and goes on at low tenn
perature and the longer the root Is
kept in this dormant condition the
more calluses there will be.
Roots prepared in October form cal
luses in great numbers before plant
ing time the following May. when the
cuttings are placed in nursery rows In
rich. moist, sandy soil about three
inches apart and one and half deep.
1t Is quite difficult to make them grow
properly without irrigation. II the
roots get dry they will fail. II buried
too deep they damp off and die. Low,
springy or cold ground will not do.
They must have frequent cultivation
and not weed allowed to grow among
them. AS soon as dormant in the fall,
the plants are carefully taken up and
roots trimmed to the proper length
and again packed in coarse, sharp sand
SO 1t Is solid around every root and
kept as in the first winter, when cal
luses form all along the sides and ends
OF roots so that when planted out
where they are to fruit in the spring
myriads of roots will start at one time
and at the end of the season the ground
will be full of fine feeding roots as
above described. In keeping them in
the callusing cellar 1t should be sup
piled with ice, for IL perchance the Gel
lar gets too warm the plants will grow
and be lost.
Inc common way Is, as IN the case
of raspberries, to let patch fruit as
long as 1t will and then NOW off the
tops and let suckers come up from be-
tween the rows and the next season
to dig them up to start new patch.
OF course the weakness and exhaustion
of the old patch is carried into the
new. The roots on the plant are few
and commence growing always from
the end. and l have seen them extend
several rods away, while near the
canes the ground would not be occu-
pied at all. The sap having to come
through these long roots to the leaves
for assimilation they are continuously
sending up suckers which become a
nuisance

What the result will be in beef cat
tie prices, when the short-fed steers
now in the feed lots go to market, is
a question that feeders and dealers
are slow in answering, says the Omaha
World-Herald. 1t is generally be-
lieved that prices must go higher
Feeders are not disposed to put steers
into the feed lots on high-priced corn
and hay in the face of an advancing
feed market and not see where the de-
mand for the beef cattle will justify
this venture. The ordinary risks In
cattle feeding, under the usual con-
ditions, are sufficiently hazardous
where the feed supply is in favor OF
the feeder, without taking any chances
of manipulated markets. The scarcity
Of winter feed on large areas Of the
western range has caused thousands
OF cattle and sheep to be put onto the
market as feeders and stockers, and
as the cattle feeder is very cautious
just now, In his investments, this class
of stock is selling low. Even the
farmer who usually has large crops
OF fodder and straw to dispose OF in
wintering stock cattle, is not now dis
posed to buy cattle, but prefers to sell
the roughness to the cattle feeder and
dealer. The present condition cannot
last long. The fat cattle supply will
be short, and the demand will be no
less among the consumers. This must
result in higher prices for beef and
higher prices for beef cattle. The
cheap stock cattle that are now forced
upon the market on account OF the
scare Of feed shortage will be sell
ing high next spring. There Is every
prospect of an increased number OF
sheep to be fed this winter, and sheep
feeders being able to get this stock
at lower prices than prevailed a year
ago fgure that sheep feeding offers
good interest for profit. The influ-
ence OF shortage in the grazing and
hay conditions Of the range districts
west and the shipping demand for
corn throughout the corn-growlng
country has presented an illustration
OF how the markets can be affected by
providential influences. A big crop
OF grass and hay places the stock
raiser in position to defend his pro-
ducing interest by holding his stock.

horticultural Observations.

Onions are easily grown where the
proper methods are used. The ground
must be very rich. as growth to ma
turity should be rapid. The land must
be thoroughly pulverized and after
ward kept free from seeds. Sow the
seed in rows eighteen inches apart and
cover to depth Of one-half an inch II
the soil Is fine and compact. When
the plants are well up, thin to three to
five inches apart. Some advanced cul-
turists follow the plan Of replantins
all their onions. selecting for that pur-
pose only those that show great vigor.
For watermelons the land should be
thoroughly pulverized and well ma
nured. Plant the seeds as soon as the
danger Of frosts Is over. One of the
common ways Of planting Is to check
on the ground eight feet each way,
dropping three or four seeds in the
center OF each check. When the plants
have made a good growth and passed
the critical periods of early growth
they should be thinned to two vines to
hill. Keep the ground clear Of weeds
till the vines spread too much to per-
init OF cultivation. For muskmelons
prepare the ground the same as for
watermelons, but make the squares in
which they are planted four feet each
way.
