out in the town and never saved a thing but the clothes we stood in and my team Then we started again out on the edge of everything where land was cheap and it looked as if hard work might count for something That time the Indians ran us off they killed one of the children girl five years shot her in full sight of the cabin and Molly hasnt got over it to i this day I picked up a few head of i ght

three hours at the utmost It seemed to me I had been hurling along for twice Once I tried madly to fight back into the wind It was than useless I should drop with exhaustion in a few minutes I must keep going I had gone over the edge of an old buffalo run scooped deep by the rush of summer ruins I lay still for a little while I must have gone to sleep or perhaps fainted away Anyway when I came to myself again the world was as still as the grave The wind j down as it will sometimes suddenly and entirety The silence was I got on my feet stiff and benumbed In all that gray still ghastly space there was nothing to tell cast from west of north from south I was lost on the big range The cold was dangerous I could not stop I must move somewhere I must make myself a purpose to keep alive at daylight came I began walking it did not matter in what direction If only my strength held out till to keep off that horrible drowsiness I know I stumbled heavily along I was thinking about Molly and her baby it all seemed like a dull dream And then bells began to ring deep soft far off I stopped in my tracks to listen It was the sound of full and sweet I turned and went blindly on following the sound as a hound might follow a scent All at once I saw a light It wasnt a star there were no stars And nobody lived on the big range unless some Brief Snake Stories William Widick and Sam Smith of

thing in all those parts We held a council of war The end of it was that we drove our stock into thc town next day JO miles and sold it It didnt make us rich but at least we got thc price of thc hides Then three of us went to work in ihc coal shippings The coal company petered out just as the cold weather set in We took back a big load of coal it was thc only pay we ever got for our last fortnights work Along in November lute we started out on a buffalo hunt There was enough to cat such as it was fora month in the cabins and fuel enough to keep them warm and by that we thought work might begin

by day and did not starve nor quite freeze to death and we got back again on to the plains along in December I wanted to push through and get home but thc horses were played out and all next day after we struck the level we just crawled along That night we went into camp ten miles from home There was n and plenty of brush and the horses were ready to drop in their tracks and that last ten miles was one of the things that couldnt be done So we got our fires made and our horses fed and sheltered as well as we could nnd put some heirt into ourselves with buf falo steak and hot coffee nnd the rest

weaker sex iu nearly all parts of the continent Here and there however is a native queen who has absolute influence over her people and who surrounds herself with as much pomp and circumstance as her position permits Mr Coillard the French Protestant missionary who saved the life of Serpa Pinto during that trav elers trip across the continent has sent home a few facts about a picturesque fe male who holds sway over the savage barotse oa the Upper Zambesi One day recently Queen went on an excursion to the tombs of her fathers She was expected to return to her chief town two or three days later and oa the appointed day everybody was alert to hear thc first sound announcing the approach of the royal party Sud denly the measured beat of drums was faintly heard She is coming The Queen is coming The cry went through the town and several thousand men women and children lined the banks of the broad Zambesi and gazed down the watery expanse The sound of drums grew louder and soon tho royal barge and the attending fleet came into view Under a pavilion made of a gaudily colored native mat sat the Queen in full view of her subjects Forty paddles swiftly propelled her great canoe up the stream As she came opposite the town thc women and girls who were ranged in line on shore began to intone a chant which struck Mr Coillard as full of weird beauty It recited thc praise of Queen At lost the prow of thc Queens barge struck the shore and the men who the way from myself part of thc time hearing tnv own voice and thinking it was someone 1 lost my sense of time again but I kept on doggedly Suddenly the light flashed brighter whirled about in a wild sort of way and went out entirely I gave a shout and ran forward I thought I should die if I lost it And there f was standing on n wido

instantly dropped on their knees and bc gau to clasp their hands keeping time to thc beat of thc drum Thc Queen stepped out of her barge She was in gala dress for the occasion she woro a bright robe and several strings of beads and ornaments of ivory cled her neck and large white pearls were arranged with care in her hair She saluted thc white man with a wave of her hand but appeared to pay no to her subjects A proces sion was instantly formed with tho na tive band at its head Thc musicians wore suspended from their necks the in known as which arc long gourds on which arc strung chords of different lengths which gave a vari ety of sounds when struck with drum j sticks As thc procession started the I musicians struck up and did not cease playing until thc Queen withdrew into j her apartments j Behind thc band walked the Queen j and a considerable distance behind her i thc royal suite and thc oarsmen of her fleet As they passed along thc populace fell into line and to the long procession marched until they reached the Queens abode Then thc master of ceremonies spread on tho ground a lions skin on which thc Queen took her stand Thc royal suite approached within about a hundred feet ranged themselves In line before thc Queen lifted their hands to wards the sky crying Lochel and then prostrated themselves in tho dust Next tho boatmen went through the same ceremony and then thc populace in detachments paid their respects Co their ruler in thc same manner after them the National Floral Emblems Many nations and sovereigns have had plants nnd flowers ns their emblems The rose of England became especially famous during thc War of the Hoses after which thc red white were uni ted and the rose of both colors is called thc York and Lancaster but when these flowers first became baSges of thc two houses I cannot discover The thistle is honored as thc emblem of Scotland from thc circumstance that once upon a tune a party of Danes having approached the Scottish camp by night were on the point of attacking it when one of the soldiers trod on a thistle which caused him to cry out and so aroused the enemy Thc shamrock of Ireland was held by St Patrick to teach

variably and it generally when we had cold meat minced I gave the children a dinner which was hailed with delight and looked forward to this was a dish of boiled onions The little things knew not that they were taking the best medicines for what most chil dren suffer Mine were kept free by this remedy alone Not only boiled onions for dinner but also were they encouraged to cat with their bread and butter and for this pur pose they had tufts of chives in their lit tle gardens It was a medical man who taught me to eat boiled onions as a specific for a cold in the chest He did not know at the time till I told him that they were good for anything The above appeared in thc Lancaster New Era and having fallen under the eye of an experienced physi cian of that county he writes as fol lows The above ought to bo published in letters of gold and hung up beside the table so that the children could read it and remind their parents that no family ought to be without onions the whole year round Plant old onions in the fall and they will come up at least three weeks earlier in thc spring than by spring planting Give children of all ages a few of them raw as soon as they are fit to be eaten do not miss treating them with a mess of raw onions three or four times a week When they get too large or too strong to bo eaten raw then boil or roast During unhealthy seasons when diphtheria and like contagious diseases prevail onions ought to be eaten in thc spring of thc year at least once a week Onions arc invigor ating and prophylactic beyond tion Further I challenge thc medical fraternity or any mother to point out a place where children have died from diphtheria or scarlatina anginosa where onions were freely The Elephant Plant At first this was thought to be a palm but iu some important

soft pulp which tho cat in that state This hardens as the nuts ripen and when quite mature becomes as hard as ivory Thc nuts require no other preparation than to knock away the outer shells and to
