A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.

One of the most remarkable instances
Of the escape of n white man from the
Indians was that of John Golfer. a ia.
nous hunter and trapper. On the day
III question he and his companion were
surrounded by Goo savage warriors.
The companion was instantly killed,
and Golfer was captured. His foes had
no intention Of saving his life, how
ever. They wanted the sport of put
ting him to the torture or at least of
playing with him rs a cat plays with Il
monse. The chief asked him If he
could run. lie said, "Not much"
He was released and told to save his
life if he could.
Golfer darted away at high speed,
atld most OF the GOO savasCs set of aft
er him. There was plain before him
six miles wide, bounded on tie far side

had always been famous as Il runner,
and his practice now stood him in good
stead. He made straight across the
plain for the stream, and the wells OF
his pursuors lent him wings. His foes
had removed every shred uf clothinS
from his body, ana the plain Was Gov
cred with prickly pears. 50 that his TN,

Useful Suggestions.

An easily made cement is formed OIL
rice flour. It should be mixed with
cold water and allowed to boil slowly
till quite thick.
Linen must be thoroughly dry and
well aired before it is put away. When
it shows signs of turning yellow, wiring
out in lukewarm soap and water, dry
and store again.
After thoroughly brushing out the
dust from black hat 90 over it with
a thin solution OF gum arabic or muci
lage, using a nail brush for the pur.
pose. When the hot is dry, it will be
found to look almost new.
An easy way to clean lamp glasses
is to hold them for q moment in the
steam from a boiling kettle, rub dry
with clean cloth and polish with soft
newspaper. Remember that no lamp
can be expected to burn well unless
the burner is kept clean. Duplex
burners can be taken apart if the little
belt which is on the side opposite the
handle ior turning the wick is re.
moved. Then they can be brushed
clean. Boiling them in soda water is
sometimes recommended.

coughs. III wish this cough didn't
bother me So" they say. III wish my
cough didn't keep me awake so much"
and so on. It never seems to occur to
them that it takes active measures to get
rid of a cough; that a cough is like a
weed, growing right along, and the
longer It grows the deeper it strikes its
roots.
If man heard the alarm of rattle
snake near by he'd jump aside at once
to avoid the attack and then seek to
find and destroy the dangerous reptile.
The cough is a danger alarm as much
more significant than the rattle of the
snake as the disease it heralds is more
dangerous than the snake bite.
FEW PEOPLE ARE KILLED
by snake bites each year. Consumption
slays its Thousands and tens of thousands
annually and it is the fatality of con-
sumption which makes the cough that
her.lds it danger signal to be promptly
needed. Don't wish the cough would
stop. Stop it!
