of the prostrate Delaware. He shouted in exultation. But he was answered byt a cry of vengeance. Before him yaWned a huge crevice. He sprang into the air. striving to leap across the abyss. The scout forebore to shoot, watching the fearful leap.
 The Huron almost reached the other side. His hands convulsively grasped the long grass on the edge; So great was his strength that he drew himself up until his knees rested on the rim~ of safety. He uttered shout of defi-9. ance. The rife of the scout spoke and Magua's dead form went whirIing down down. into the depths beneath.
 Next morning found the Delawares a nation of mourners. They had avenged an ancient grudge by the extinction of an entire community. But in the strug-, gle many of the best and bravest of tho Turtle clan had fallen. greatest among whom was the young chief so lately restored to them. With all the pomp and the wild ritual of the Indian race Uncas and Cora were laid to rest sur-a rounded by a mourning tribe, and the Indian girls sang songs of their spirits reunited in heaven.
 Bowed with his tragic grief. Colonel Munro. accompanied by Bumppo and Howard. took Alice back to civiliza- ton. On the borders of the wilderness the scout bade them farewell. His life had been too long amid the scenes of nature to permit of his content amid cities. and he had sworn to remains with the old Sagamore forever. Thes Colonel did not long survive his mise fortunes; but when he died he left his daughter safe with the man who guard ed her and loved her.

INDIVIDUAL HOG HOUSES.

The folly of keeping large num-
Der of hogs in small Enclosure is
shown by the unusual fatality this
season. The old notion that hogs
could take most any sort of treat
ment has been responsible for heavy
losses this season Hogs are subject
to colds and lung troubles. When
ever we permit them to crowd into
tight sheds, in large numbers, we are
inviting sure calamity. The sensi-
BILE way to house either stock hogs or
the breeding sows, is to build small
houses and scatter them about the
fields. With narrowing sows, each one
should be provided with an individual
house, but with the other hogs six or
eight can bunk in one of these houses
very nicely. Bald half-dozen or
more and try them.-Indiana Farmer.

Last week mother had the hardwood
floors in our house reinished. In or
der to escape the confusion, which is
very wearing to person whose nerves
are as sensitive as mine, l decided to
make the HoMister girls visit. They
live in such quiet little suburb that
knew it would be just as much of a
change and rest as would be getting
into the real country and great deal
cheaper.
While 1 was expecting the simple
life / certainly was not prepared for
the frugality l found at Rosehollow.
/ knew that the HOLSTERS had moved
from town for reasons of economy, but
I had no idea that they had reduced
their housekeeping to the lowest
terms. If had l would have chosen
a more comfortable spot in which to
rest, for am not very fond of being
in a house where no maids are kept.
But as long as had come l decided
to make the best OF it and stay few
days, as l had planned, particularly
as | had asked Arthur Knight to come
out to see me.
Julie HOLSTER teaches in the school
at Rosehollow and Ada works in an
office in the city, so had most of the
time to myself, for Mrs. HOLSTER is
not the kind of person ito visit with
much, as there is scarcely anything
that one can talk to her about. She
doesn't pretend to know a thing in
regard to the styles or dress and she
hasn't been to the theater this CEN
tury. She does read a good deal in
her leisure moments, but our tastes in
literature are so different that we do
not find ourselves congenial even ON
the subjects of books.
1t certainly was pretty dull. When
I think of 1t, now that am home
again, il seems to me that the Hol-
listers should have been glad to have
me there to brighten them up bit,
but they didn't show much enthus-
iasm.
After two days of desperate quiet
and seclusion I was delighted to re-

DAIRY BARNS.

AS it is impossible to secure pure
milk in dirty dark barn reeking with
doors of manure, it's construction must
be taken into account. Plenty of air
space must be provided in order to
insure pure air, from 900 to 1000 cubic
feet being needed for each animal.
An abundance of window space must
be provided. Enough light should
enter to enable one to read a news
paper in the darkest places. Inc
ventilation should be such that the
air is changed every few minutes. Any
one contemplating new barn or
reconstruction of an old barn to con-
form with the ideas here mentioned
should secure some good treatise on
barn construction and ventilation. 1t
is evident to any observer that one OF
the difficulties in securing good milk
is the dark, poorly ventilated ana
constructed barns, containing rotten
wooden floors that can not be cleaned.
Concrete is the best material for
floors. 1t is economical and can be
easily kept clean. If wood is used
in floor construction, it should pc
closely laid in pitch and kept in per-
feet repair. The interior of the barn
should be kept covered with white
wash, which acts as a purifier ana
makes the rooms much lighter. Stalls
and feed boxes should be simple IN
construction and easily cleaned.
AS a usual thing bank barns are
not good dairy barns unless the stalls
are placed on the floor entirely above
ground and the basement Is used for
storage of implements of purposes o.
similar nature. A basement as ordl-
narily constructed is dark and damp
and has low ceilings. 1t is difficult
to ventilate and is entirely unfit for
housing animals. The drainage OF
the yards around the barn is very i'm
portant Yards must be dry and firm.
An accumulation of manure in the
wards is very Objectionable. The
dairyman who compels his cows to
wade deep in manure before they get
into the barn can never expect to
secure good milk. If all dairy barns
were so built as to be light and airy,
admitting lots of sunshine when need
ed, and were kept in good sanitary
condition, there would be less tuber-
culosis and other diseases among the
dairy stock.-Bulletin Department OF
Agriculture.

Underground Ventilation.

The natural ventilation of under
ground railways is impracticable. be-
cause the air current may be reversed.
owing to atmospheric conditions, be-
coming nil in spring and autumn, so
that mechanical ventilation imposes
itself. observed Prof. Couriot to the
French engineers. The only solution
of the problem compatible with safety
is, in his opinion, to exhaust the vitiat-
ed air by fans erected midway be-
tween the stations, these latter serving
as inlets.-Eng.neer.

A Remittance.

in Arkansas who had several "tiffs"
with a lawyer retained by woman
who had instituted a breach of prom
Use suit in the court presided over
by the judge in question.
After each exchange of repartee be-
tween his Honor and the imprudent
counsel, the judge would say:
CLERK, just enter another fine of
SO against Mr.. Mitchell for contempt
of court"
When this sort of thing had pro-
ceaded further than counsel wished,
he addressed his Honor in this wise:
IF your Honor please, am good
citizen, and, as such, intend to obey
the orders OF the honorable Court in
this, as in all other instances. Now,

ton in approaching your Honor for
loan to square the fines assessed
against me-"
With just the faintest smile about
his lips, his Honor looked first at
counsel and then at the clerk.

CARE OF TABLECLoTHs.

When not in use, tablecloth should
be kept in folded creases, and when
brought out to be spread should be
laid ON the table and unfolded it's en-

with the centre crease along the cen
tire of the table Then the half breadth
that is folded should be turned back
and the cloth will hang even. Care
less servants often gather UP cloth
anyhow" without taking the trouble
to fold it up again in its own creases,
and thus fresh ones are made. A
tablecloth will keep fresh looking as
long again if it is always folded up
in its own folds and put away until
the next meal, says Woman's Life.

even an inferior quality of table linen
look well without the aid of starch.
When the napkins are washed and
ready to be ironed, they are dipped

possible without burning them.

having their shoulders in good, sound
condition. With this to start with
and soft, weil-ftting collars, there
need be but little fear of any difficulty
in keeping them all right, no matter
haw hard the labor the horses have
to endure. By keeping the collars
well cleaned of any dirt which may
have accumulated upon them, from
the sweating of the horse and by bath
ing them daily with cold water, there
need be but little fear of had shoul.

SENDING LINEN TO LAUNDRY.
Here are few good rules for send

should be legibly marked with fall
name in either cotton or ink. Mark,
plainly where the letters will show
when the piece is folded, or freshly
ironed clothes will be tumbled in the
search for the distinguishing sign.
Look in pockets carefully before send
ing clothes off. Turn socks and stock
ings inside out. For the sake of COM
mon humanity, be sure that NO pins
remain anywhere. Use rust proof

Two mistakes are often made In
selecting location for the orchard.
Very moist land will give a good
growth for a few years, but the fruit
does not set we'll and the trees decay
and die young. Trees set in a shell
tered sunny spot will also fail to give
satisfaction. Give the orchard plenty
of air and good frost drainage and
do not give it too much water.-Amer.

MOTHS AND RUGS.

Dyed rugs, such as dog and goat
skins, are not attacked by moths, be-
cause in curing and dye:ng them pois-
ons are put in that make them prac-
tically immune from attacks by these
insects; but the contrary is true of
the natural skins, such as polar bear,
tiger, leopard, ETC., for, though the
curing process they go through con-
tains more preservatives than are put
into that used On muffs, boas, etc.,
they are much more likely ITO attract
these destructive insects than those
that are dyed.-Boston Post.
