The Texan Eden.

Traveling on the old McKenzie trail, on the third day we stopped to lunch and water our horses at the flow-out of the Blanco (or White) River, which flows through Blanco Canyon for forty miles, and which, it should be remembered, is only the fresh water fork of the Brazos. We had halted at the gate of the Texas Eden, where the painter would have stood entranced, pencil and brush being all too tame to put in lines or color the grand landscape where earth and brush, and hill and water, and cloud and sky, mingled into an indescribable picture. The sun was shining brightly adown the valley and upon the mountain bluffs, looming up hundreds of feet above the limpid stream flowing through the center of the canyon. The grass, which was tinged with the autumn brown in the open valley, appeared in great plats and patches in the hollows under the shadows of the canyon bluffs. Myriads of flowers, blooming and witnered, cropped out from the hillock, rockbase, and open prairie. Rare among them was the Texas star, a five-leaved flower, which heads to the north—a veritable flower-magnet. Rare it is, and growing still rarer as the rude hoof of horse and cattle continue to trample it out. The hardy flowering cactus is everywhere. Nature made a big effort in the spreading mouth of Blanco Canyon. This canyon is about forty-five miles long, and widens from its source like a wedge, until at its mouth there is fifteen or sixteen miles of plain and brush and rich grasses. As we cross the crystal stream flowing over limestone and gypsum beds, we follow the trail up over the bluff, where the fossil sea-shells crop out on every bare surface, and there, stretching away to the far distance, we see, and for the first time realize, the extent of the ranges known as the “Staked Plains.” In the wonderfully clear sunlight we see herds of cattle feeding, and, away toward a hill range, some startled antelopes are scampering off in alarm. This trail up the steep bluff over which we have just come has been beaten into a smooth path by the countless feet of buffalo and antelope and Indians for centuries. Here, where the savage in his primitive brutality once hunted the noble game, we now see cattle feeding undisturbed in the great range of the Kentucky Cattle Raising Company. The buffalo have departed, but in their place have come short-horn cattle, showing the peaceful marriage between the wild cattle of the West and the thoroughbreds of the blue-grass of Kentucky.— Louisville Courier-Journal.

Superstition and Agriculture.

A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald, who has visited Foula, Scotland, states that the fishermen are very superstitious. She adds: “Farming is an avocation of at least as much consequence to the inhabitants of Foula as fishing, and in the prosecution of it they, are equally careful to act in obedience, to the ancient, unacknowledged, but living faith. The land must be dug agreeably to the apparent course of the sun. The sowing of seed-corn should be begun before noon on Saturday, with the moon on the increase and the tide flowing. Some put an egg into the kishie among the seed-corn. When grinding meal, turn the quern sunward. If it be turned widergates the meal will act as an aperient. When the moon is on the increase is the proper time to kill a pig. A hen should be set on an odd number of eggs and when the tide is flowing. When a man is killing a sheep it is unlucky for any one (especially a woman) to pass between him and the fire. In dressing the sheep carefully remove the gall, spit three times on it, and cover it with ashes, so that the dog will not see it. Do not mention the name of the pudding when it is put in the pot or it will burst. If any one can lay his hand on a ewe lamb that he covets, it will not thrive. If the liver of a lamb crackles when placed upon the fire, it is a sign that its mother and her descendants will be prolific. A cow should be fastened in the byre with her head to the north. A knife should be stuck into the coupling above her head to keep away trows, or fairies. Should she be sick, take white money, a razor, and a pair of shears, and shake them in a sieve above her back. If a wound

made by a trow’s arrow be discovered in her side, put a finger on it until another person can daub the place with tar. Take gunpower and fire it off between two peats near her head. Should this fail in effecting a cure, take a hecat and draw him by the tail across the back of the cow until he fastens his claws in her hide, and if this does not cure her nothing will. When a cow has lost the power of chewing her cud wrap some gunpowder in a piece qf dough and put it into a dog’s mouth and then make the cow swallow it. Three stones taken from a brook and three stones taken from the ground ought to be placed above the head of a cow that has been given as a dowry or tocher, so that she may have no desire to return to her old quarters.”

The Canny Scot Abroad.

The Macquays are an admirable instance of the -ways in which the “canny Scot” almost invariably contrives to make his way in foreign parts, says the London Life. The father of the present head of the firm went to Florence in the grand ducal days, when the City of Flowers was the capital of the little duchy of Tuscany. Shrewd, patient, red-headed, a typical Scotsman, he quickly pushed his way upward, and, mastering all the devious details of Tuscan finance, made himself extremely useful to the needy ruler of that little kingdom. He was one of the old coterie that used to meet regularly at poor Charles Lever’s house for their rubber of whist, and many a trick did that talented author play upon the Florentine banker, whose ire he would arouse by persistently chattering during the progress of the game, was, probably, the only man who could convulse his hearers with inimitable stories and at the same time play a splendid hand at whist Old Macquay left three sons, strangely dissimilar in appearance, but all possessed of considerable talent and the firm of Macquay & Co. is now as well known in u th* Popo of Borne himself.

CLEVERLY CAUGHT.

The Rich Man's Fear of Burglars—The Story of an Electrician. [Buffalo (N. Y.) News.) At the dead of night Mr. J. B. Anthony, a wholesale grocer of Troy, N. Y., was awakened by his burglar alarm annunciator, which told him that his house had been entered through the roof scuttle. He hastily dresses, rings for a policeman, hurries to the upper story, and hears the burgtar in the servant’s room, threatening her with instant death if she made a loud noise. He was captured, convicted, and sentenced to Bing Bing prison for ten years. So said Mr. C. H. Westfall, the electrician of Westfield, N. Y., to our reporter. “Do city residents generally use burglar alarms?’* “Yes, all first-class houses are provided with them, and I have never had any dissatisfactio'n from my customers, many of whom are the best known and wealthiest people of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other large cities.’’ ‘•Do wealthy men have much fear of burglars?" “As a rule, wealthy men do not keep valuables in their house, and yet they arc not sure that they shall escape burglarious attacks, and they don’t feel secure without a first-class burglar alarm apparatus in their house. Every door, window, and scuttle is connected with the annunciator, and it is quite impossible to effect an entrance without the fact becoming at once known.” “Don't electricians run considerable risk in handling wires?" “Even the most careful of them sometimes get a shock. A few years ago, while I was descending stairs at Elmira, N. Y., with a wire coil in my hand, I felt as if I had received the entire charge from the battery. For over a half hour I suffered the keenest agony. 1 did not know but what I had been fatally injured. After completing my business circuit, 1 returned to Boston, and for eighteen months did not get over the shock. I loet my appetite; all food tasted alike. I could not walk across the common without resting several times.” “My head whirled, and I reeled like a drunken man. I consulted the best physicians in a good many large cities, but none of them seemed to understand my case. About a year ago I was in Albany, and a physician there stated that I would probably not live three months. But to-day," said Mr.-Westfall, and he straightened himself up with conscious pride, “so far as I know, I am in perfect health. I weigh 170 pounds, eat well, sleep well, feel well, and am well. One of my old physicians gave me a thorough examination a few weeks ago, and told me that I was in a perfect condition." “You are a very fortunate man, sir,” remarked the scribe, “to have escaped instant death alter an electrical shock.”

“Oh, it was not electricity that prostrated me. It was a uremic convulsion. For all my physicians told me I was a victim of a very serious kidney disorder. And when they and a dozen widely advertised medicines failed t > benefit me, Warner’s Safe Cure restored me to perfect health. That preparation is invaluable to every grade of society, for it is a priceless blessing.” “There is no need of death from handling electrical wires if the operators will exercise care. In our burglar alarm attachments there is no possible danger from that source.”

A Curious Document.

In the records of the office of the Secretary of State at Columbia, S. 0., is the following petition, bearing date 1733, addressed to the Governor of South Carolina, and signed by sixteen maidens: The humble petition of all the Maids whose Names are underwritten: Whereas, we, the humble petitioners, are at present in a very melancholy condition of mind, considering how all the bachelors are blindly captured by widows and we are thereby neglected; in consequence of this our request is that your Excellency will, for the future, order that no widow presume to marry any young man until the maidens are provided for, or else to pay each of them a fine for satisfaction of invading our liberties, and likewise a fine to be levied on all bachelors as shall be married to widows. The great disadvantage it is to us maids is that the widows, by their forward carriage, do snap up the young men and have the vanity to think their merits beyond ours, which is a great imposition to us, who ought to have the preference. This is humbly recommended to your Excellency’s consideration, and we hope you will permit no further insults. And we poor maids, as in duty bound, will ever pray, etc.

More Useful than the Campaign Breed.

There has occurred a phenomenon in the barn-yard of Mr. J. J. Turner that is inexplicable—a veritable rooster laying eggs. The rooster goes on the nest every day, and after the functions of the hen have been performed he comes off, utters a derisive cackle to the rest of the fowls and goes on about his business as though nothing had happened. This peculiar fowl has been watched closely, and he has been seen to go on the nest daily, come off cackling, and there was the egg. No hen was ever seen about the nest. This fowl has aroused the admiration of our soul, and is an example worthy of the emulation of the husbandman. He has seen the toils and struggles of the overworked and greatly oppressed hens and has come to their rescue and helped them to supply the demand now seriously felt in commercial circles —and at the boarding-houses. He cares nothing for a protective tariff, a tariff for revenue only, or free trade; his only desire is to meet the demands for home consumption and to see that the Christmas nog is not wanting. What the country needs most is a few more laying roosters.— Montezuma (Ga.) Record.-

Brain work, when wisely directed, adds to rather than shortens life. No class of men reach a ripe old age more certainly than the hard-working professors in the various colleges of the land. Among no class can be found more venerable men, or those whose heads can be crowned with more honors. Unlike men in other walks of life, they do not light their candles at both ends. If money making and ambition are the chief aims of life, our college professors and presidents have made Somewhat of failures. But who that looks upon the venerable ex-Presi-dent Woolsey, just retiring from active work at Yale at the age of 83, will say that his life has not been a grand success. The same could be said of a multitude of others in this honored class who have so wisely obeyed nature’s laws that fojir score finds them men of more vigor of body and brain than two-thirds of the men of other occupations and professions ten or twenty years younger.— lnter Ocean.

The Age of Trees.

Many of our exchanges,’ both agricultural and others»often print eroneous statements concerning the longevity of some of cur forest trees. For the benefit of readers who may have been misled by such statements we append the following list, showing the age of trees when their timber is most valuable, both in Europe and in the United States: Black walnut, 250 to 300 years; royal oak, 250; quercus alba, or white oak, 200; European sweet chestnut, 200; American Chestnut, 180; European linden, 125; Dutch, orbroad-leaved, linden, 90 to 100; European beech, 90 to 95; Scotch pine, 90; Norway spruce, 95; white willow, 40; sycamore maple, 50; alder, cherry, and poplar, 50 to 60; It is probable that most of those in the list marked over 100 years are not very valuable in this country after they are at the century score. As a general thing the most valuable stage of development in the timber of a tree is reached earlier in the United States than in Europe, an important fact depending upon the difference in climate.— Er.

Beware

Of violent purgatives. They must inevitably impair the well-being of the system, if much used. Irregularity of the bowels is remediable without their aid, and they enfeeble those organs. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are not only a laxative, but a tonic. No subsequent medication is needed as in the case of powerful cathartics, to repair the violence of their effects. Blue pill and calomel are never safe in the long run. and there are other medicines taken to regulate the liver and bowels, which are hurtful to both. Long experience has proved the Bitters to be safe and salutary as well as potent. They brace up the system when enfeebled, thus guarding it from disease (particularly malarial complaints), remedy the weakness and inactivity of a dyspeptic stomach, improve appetite, and tend to tranquilize overtaxed nerves. They have also won repute as a remedy for rheumatism and kidney troubles.

Antiquity of the Spoon.

The use of the spoon is widespread, and dates from remote antiquity. The form which we use at the present day—a small oval bowl, provided with a shank and flattened handle—is not that which has been universally adopted. If we look into the manners and customs of the people less civilized than we—the Kabyles, for example—we shall find that they use a round wooden spoon. Romans* also used a round spoon, which was made of copper. We might be led from the latter fact to infer that the primitive form of this utensil was round, and that the oval shape is a comparatively modern invention. But such is not the case, for M. Chantree, in making some excavations on the borders of Lake Paladan, the waters of which had been partially drawn off, found, in a good state of preservation, wooden spoons which in shape were nearly like those in use at the present day, the only difference being in the form of the handle, which was no wider than the shank. The neolithic people used oval spoons made of baked clay. If all so-called remedies have failed, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kemedv cures. It seems queer, but it Is true, that th stuff that makes a man tight frequently loosens his tongue.— Philadelphia Chronicler Herald.

Dairymen Prefer It.

Messiis. Wells, Richardson & Co.: Since the introduction of your Improved Butter Color among my customers it has given universal satisfaction. The leading dairymen of this section who have used it give it the preference over all other colors, of whatever name or nature. They are especially pleased with the fact that it does not become rancid, like other oil colors, and their product brings highest prices in market. W. S. Nay, Druggist. Underhill, Vt., April 5, 1882. “How do you measure your profits?” asked a friend of a lapidary. “By quartz,’’ of course.

Horsford’s Acid Phosphate,

ASSISTS MENTAL LABOR. Prof. Adolph Ott. Now York, says of the Acid Phosphate: “I have been enabled to devote myself to hard mental labor from shortly after breakfast till a late hour in the evening, without experiencing the slightest relaxation, and I would not now at any rate dispense with it.” The man who “keeps” his word never speaks. No woman can live without some share of physical suffering; but many accept as inevitable a great amount of pain which can be avoided. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was invented by one who understood its need, and had the rare skill to provid j a simple, yet admirably effective, remedy. “What are clouds?” Well, one kind is when you call to see your girl and find that the other fellow is in the parlor with her.

■ Draft Horses—Forty Years’ Experience. A. S. Chamberlain, for forty years proprietor of tbe Bull’s Head Stables, New York City, in reference to the values of different breeds of draft horses, said: “I keep exchange and sale stables for horses. Don’t deal oh my own account to any extent. All classes of horses, amounting to several thousands annually, come to my stables from all sections of the country. A large number of these are draft horses of the different breeds, the Clydesdales, the French horses called Percherons or Normans, the English, and Belgian. There seems to be a larger demand for the French horses than for any other breed. “ Some years ago we used to get a great many horses from Upper Canada. These were Clydesdales, and would weigh from 1,400 to l,t;00 pounds, but they did not seem to answer the purpose; as a general thing their feet were thin-shelled and flat, and, being heavy horses, their feet would become sore and would not stand the pavements. The French horses have good feet and stand the pavements better than the Clydesdales. That is tbe reason they sell better. “I would advise the farmers and breeders who are breeding horses to sell on the New York market for draft purposes to breed from the French horses in preference to all others.”— Chicago Tribune. The best horses to be found in France are recorded with pedigrees in full in the “ Percheron Stud Book” of that country. At the great importing and breeding establishment of M. W. Dunham, Wayne, Du Page County, 111., hundreds of the finest specimens of this famous race can be found at all times.

Great and good results often spring from small deeds, and so fatal diseases come of a seemingly tricing neglect. Colds neglected otten lead to serious catarrhal troubles. If this is your case lose no time in becoming acquainted with Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. Its healing virtues will surprise you. It is simple, efficacious, speedy, sure. Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of the nasal passages, di-changes fiom the nose into the throat are symptoms of. this horrible complaint. Heaven must be a beautiful place, but if there’s a mud puddle handy a four-year-old boy win take it in preference. “Frozen Facts” is a purely American expression, and one, too, of recent origin. It has the merit of attracting attention, and also seems to bear conviction of truthfulness on its face. We make room in our issue of to day, for a fact of this character. A correspondent, Henry Whiting, Esq., of Boston, Mass., says: “Dr. R. V. Pierce’s ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ has cured my son of a fever sore of two years’ standing. Please accept our gratitude.” We believe it to be a fact, whether “frozen” or otherwise, that America needs more men like Mr. Whiting; men who act, men who investigate truths, and seize opportunities. There is not much difference between spending money on a lottery and a lot o' rye.

Mrs. Ann Laoour, of New Orleans, La., writes: “I have a son who has been sick for two years; he has been attended by our leading physicians, but all to no purpose. This morning he had his usual spell of coughing and was so greatly prostrated in consequence that death seemed imminent. We had in oie house a bottle of Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam for the Lungs, purchased by my husband, who noticed your advertisement. We administered it and he was instantly relieved.”

“For what?” For a medical opinion in your caee, if you are suffering from any chronic disease which your physican has failed to relieve or cure. “From whom?” From Drs. Starkey & Palen, 1109 Girard st., Philadelphia, dispensers of the Vitalizing Treatment by Compound Oxygen which is attracting wide attention, and by which most remarkable cures in desperate chronic cases are being made. Write and ask them to furnish such information in regard to their treatment as will enable you to get an intelligent idea of its nature and action.

Many persons in Pittston are using Ely’s Cream Balm, a Catarrh remedy, with most satisfactory results. A lady is recovering the sense of smell which she had not enjoyed for fifteen years.

HAPPY ENDING. Long Suffering of One of the Bost Men of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., N. Y.—His Final and Complete Recovery from Gravel. Plain words are best Mr. Edward 8. Hicks, of Pleasant Valley, Dutchess Co., N. Y., had suffered long from Stones in the Kidneys. He sought relief, of course. Who would not? What are time and money to health? Mr. Hicks consulted the best physicians of his village and, also, of Poughkeepsie—and none better can be found anywhere —but, unhappily, without a good result. A friend in Rondout advised Mr. Hicks to go to Rondout and see Dr. David Kenned v about his trouble. This Mr. Hicks finally did. Dr. Kennedy saw at once what the suffering man’s difficulty was, and that “Favorite Remedy" was the medicine he needed. The Doctor prescribed it, and Mr. Hicks went home without much confidence in the power of “Favorite Remedy" to do him more good than other medicines had done before. But hope clings to straws, and he thought there might be one chance out of many in his favor. He followed the directions and was both surprised and delighted to find himself presently improving. To-day Mr. Hicks is a well man. While Dr. Kennedy is interested in introducing "Favorite Remedy," he continues to practice his profession and performs all the capital and minor operations In surgery.
