She ladghed et me as she steeped to the doorway. *Oh, auntie I you looked so funny when your tent blew down f I beard you •eream and I peeped oat of the door and saw you by a flash of light—holding with both* bands to the lodge-poles—but they went over tLd you too!

enough to load a pony.

“Red Bird fat eighteen ytan old that rammer. Her brother, Eagle Feether, wee almost seventeen, and a beautiful youth. They looked much alike, and wsre very dear to one another. She was Slander and small, and her waist was no bigger than a white womaa’s waist. Use hair was vary black, and hung down to her hips after ft was plaited in two thick plaits, and her feat ea were small and pretty. 8h# was for ever laughing, and she usually wore a red dress that was very becoming. She had a passionate temper and so bad Eagle , Feather. Blossoming Rose was twenty-one years old. She was taller and larger than her sifter and men said just as handeome. n ut she was one oi the quiet kind of wosn. She never talked much, and when she

“Od the third day out, Eagle Feather saw the fresh track of a buck deer, and he borrowed his oldest sister’s grey pony and followed li The gray was her favorite and the one she always rode.

village beyond Red Cloud’s,

where Lone Pine's sister lived—the one who killed herself lest summer when ber husband died. Did you hear about it? On the night when be lay dying she said to hsr mother and the relatives who were sitting with ber; 'He has been a kind husband to me. When he is dead there will be no one to pity or care for me. I will die, too, and we will sleep together.* So they bid all the knives and everything sharp that was about the house, and as soon as be was dead they watched her every movement and never left her alone. She did not cry at all, nor cut off her hair at first—for she was going to sleep with him—but about nooa—he died at dawn—she said, ‘I am going to cat my hair now. - I don't want to die!’ So she rnt it very short, and she wept aloud with the others. Then her mother and she were left alone and her mother went out for wood, and when she came back the widow eeemed to be kneeling on the floor, bnt she was dead! She had tied a cord round her neck and fastened it to the roof, and then kneeled down so that she was strangl'd. Then tbev buried her with her husband in

one grave.

“Wen, we all went to visit them there, as I said, and they were very glad to see ns, and tbsy killed two dogs end gave a great dance. It was a woman's dance, and Red Bird pnt on ber heeded dress and her paints and all her ornaments. She bed a necklace of three rows of white beads, mixed with gold ones, that came down to her waist, and long earrings of white shells, and littls gold bells that tinkled as she danced up and down. She was a beautiful daueer! Her sister never would dance—she was a strange girl I But she liked to look oh, and she and I stood together at one of the windows. All the young men in their blankets were hanging about to see and to ran after the young girls as they passed out and in. When Red Bird came out with her grandmother, I saw High Bear—he had covered bis whole face with the blanket, but I knew him by his bight and his walk. I saw him follow and take hold of her, but she snatched herself away from him and ran like a rabbit. He caught her again and threw hi# blanket about her. We followed them and I heard her say, 'I can’t bear you! 1 hate you!' Then suddenly he let go of her end was ont of sight in a minute. When we came up to Red Bird she was laughing, but she looked angry, and she just showed us the knife that gleamed in

her litUa her belt.

High Bear had a sligl next morning, which he said he did himself when catting a niece of meet He would not talk to anybody and wonld not dance the! night, although they had a big grassdanoe and gave away twelve ponies smong their truest#, and we gave them the finest deer-skins aad more than twenty pairs of

moccasins.

“After three nigbta'of visiting we turned to go baek. As we journeyed over the pine ridgee we traveled very slewlv. end the men were out all day looking for deer. We all wished to taste fresh meat again! We bad camped one evening in a deep valley, and I sat in Lone Pine’s seat with my two nieoes. Red Bird was btading a tobacco poach, and Blossoming Rosa was making a pair of moccasins, with one hundred and one rows of pot* cupine work ia red end purple, end the picture of e buffalo’s head on the iustep—both of them for Eagle Feather. The men from the other lodges bad all come in end eaten sapper before Lone Pine returned. It wee new growing dark. He had shot nothing, nor had any of the others. 'I wounded a dee in the shoulder, but the creature got away from raei’ he exclaimed, angrily, aa he threw himself down. Red Bird lecl away the tired mare, and Blossoming Rose gave her father his sapper. A* last Red Bird said: ‘My- brother has not come home.' 'O, he’ll oome by-and-by ’ said the father, and, as he was very tired, they soon lay down, bu#i the women could not sleep. At dawn the men all went onfin search of Eagle Feather, and the old grandmother cried and bemoaned herself, but the sisters worked quietly at the moccasins and the tobacco pouch, though the elder never spoke, and th# younger said often, '1 think he will be baok soon.*

How to Prepare Tee, Coffee and Cocoa—Bints for Bottling Vegetables—Recipes for Seasonable and Palatable Dlshee.

(Dsssorsst.1 I suppose you all think you knew how to make a cup of tea, but I notice very few are sc confident ee regards coffee. However, e few words in regard to tea will not be amiss, for I might give yon some new ideas in regard to tea-making. In the first place, do not bay your tea ia larse quantities, aaless yoa have tims aad knowledge to keep it properly. It should be jealously kept from the air. If you use a caddy, the cover thereof alone is not sufficient, bat the neck should be stuffed with paper. The water for tea must be freshly boiled for that purpose, and used as soon as it boilh, and never before. Any one really fond of tea knows at ones if the water used was not freshly boiled it makes, to them, a great difference in the flavor. In regard to the pot in which you put the tea to draw, let me caution you; on no account use tin. The tanin in tea acts upon the tit in such a manner as to produce a poisonous compound, thus rendering the oeveragt most unwholesome. The common earthenware pot is by far the best, and should be well rinsed and scalded before using, thus running no chance of chilling the boiling water to be used in the tea-mak-ing. Allow one teaspoonful of tea for each person and one for the pot, unless yon are making for quits a number; then the pot may be left out in the count, and the spoonfuls be scanted. Put the tea in the hot teapot, pour the necessary amount of freshly boiled water upon the tea, cover the pot, plaoe it on the back of (he range and let it draw ten minntes, and it will be ready for nse. When put on the table, if possible, use a cozy, which is a wadded cover made to fit closely and entirely over the pot, gad is a'greht help in keeping the tea hot. Never allow tea to boil or draw too long a time. Both tea and coffee are greatly improved by being thoroughly heated before wetting. You must be yet mors particular In the case of coffee; it must be even more jealously guarded from the air. In purchasing coffee the best mixture is two parts Java and one part Mocha. Maracaibo is too coarse and rank to suit most palates, although the three mixed in equal parts is liked by some. A little chicory is a great addition to eoflee. The French, so famed for their excellence in this beverage, always nse it; but the Americans arc apt to be too generous with it. As with garlic, unless yon are sure of the correct proportions, you had better let it alone. Allow a heaping tablespoonfnl of finely ground coffee to each cup, and put it into a bowl. Wash an egg in cold water, then break it, shell and all, into the coffee, and

of boiling water, cover tightly, and if possi bl» stop up the nozzle with dean paper, that none of the aroma may escape. Let this boil for five minutes, then put it on the back of the range where it «. 11 keep hot but not boil, ana 1st it stand ten minutes to settle. Pouring in half a cupful of cold water will expedite the settling. Before using, pour out a little in a oup, to free the nozzle of any grains which mar nave lodged them, then your eofftc will be'ready to serve. It should pour as clear as amber, and be strong. Well made coffee does not need a strainer. There are seasons when eggs are dear, and to nse one each time coffee ia made is found rather expensive. Half an egg will generally do the work. Break the egg in a glass, beat it until white and yolk are wellmixed, fill the glass with water, stir until all are well blended, then nse half of th’e mixture at a time. Hbould you simply divide the egg you would run the risk of finding the remaining half so hard as to be useless when you wish to nse it; adding the water, which keeps out the air, will prevent thie. A still more economical plan ie to save all roar egg-shells; three or four of these will clear a quart of cofiec. Be sure that the eggs are well washed, otherwise the shells are uuflt for use. Always scald your milk for coffee; boiled milk impairs the

flavor.

Iced tea and coffee are very refreshing in summer. Prepare both the same as directed above and serve hot with chipped ice in the cup, either with or without sugar and cream or milk. If economy of ioe be an object, make the tea or coffee In the usual way, allow it to cool, then set in the ice-box until ice-cold, and serve with chipped ice. Iced tea prepared, ia this way is usually preferred clear, and a slice of lemon, without th# rind, placed in each glass, imparts a deiioious flavor. Tbs eream or milk, if liked in the coffee, can be added before it is quite cold, and the sugar when it is served. Serve in glaseea For chocolate to drink, alwavs use tha best quality aud always grate it as you need it. Chocolate sometimes eoniss already grated and sweetened. Always keep your chocolate well wrapped up or it will grow rank; nor will it keep so vary long without

becoming musty.

Coooals much bttter for invalids, or for weak stomachs, as it is very much easier digested, not being so rich in oil as chocolate is. Either is vary nourishing. Allow two heaping tablespoonfnls of grated chocolate to a cup. Use hall milk and half water. Put the milk ou to scald in-one saucepan, the ehoeolate in another, to which add tha boiling watar gradually ;

fre-

boiling watar gradually hree times, stirring fra

let it boil up three

quently; after a third boiling it should be quite thick. Stir in the milk, sweeten and

serve.

In making only one cupful of chocolate

r- -—tv—*. »•«*•—» *- use a little more water, to allow for the they usually did, aud the men made High evaporation. If it is not liked strong and Bear takeiham to the place when they thick, lese chocolate may be need; but in

v. " A * every case it should be well boiled before

adding the milk, which should be only

scalded.

Cocoa is made is very much the same way, except that one teaspoonful is the average rale for a cupful; nor is it ever made as thick as chocolate. Both should be well boiled With the water before add-

, .. ing the milk. Usiag all milk is ©bjectionwaa shot in the able, making it too rich. The milk may be

Do not add the sugar until yon take fee chocolate from the fire, as sugar increases the likelihood of scorching; nor must you ever try to mix the grated chocolate wife cold water; alwaye have it boiling, and add little by httla For Bottling Vegetables. Peas should be as freshly gathered and as much of a size as possible. Have ready some wide-mouthed glass olive bottles, and fill them as full as possible with the peas. Cork these bottles, and pat them in a boiler or fish kettle up to their necks in cold wetcr, nut on the oover, bring the water to the boll, and keep it boiling for two hours; then lift the pan from the fire, let the bottles cool in the wafer, and, when oold, cover fee cork# with sealing wax, and put sway tn g cool place. Clean I asparagus as for boiling, then plunge the stalks first into boiling, and next into cold wafer. Plaoe them head downward in wide-mouthnd jbottlea, cork them up. aad finish exactly like the peas. > A very easy way af ppgryiug string beans u to lay them when gathered (on a dry day) in the sun till quite dry, when they can be stored ia paper bags ia A dry place. They can also be treated like the asparagus after they have been strung and cut as for ordinary cooking. Almost all small fruit ean be bottled like peas, patting two ounces of pounded rock candy in fee moufe of each jar before corkiag. f Rhubarb is also excellent bottled, if carefolly pealed. Only remember, adYthine to be bottled must be gathered ou a dry dav, and be in perfect condition. It ia also advisable to have everything as much of a sine

Gather tbs parslsy when at its greenest, wash it in plenty of cold water to remove the dost, eta* then piek out the stalks and lay fee parsley on a sheet of paper, spread out in front of the fire, till quite crisp and dry. (It is quicker to dry it in the oven, but for some reason it is never so good a color as when dried in front of the fire.) Cram hie it feroagh a wire sieve, and keep in tigbtly-eorked, wide-mouthed betKeeioes. Strawberry Cheesecakes—Mash a pint of berries with the back of a wooden spoon; add four tableapoenfols of sagar ana two well beaten eggs. Line little pate pans with paste; fill two-thirda full of this mixture &nd bakft. Sardines, a Breakfast Dish—Take as manv sardines as are required, drain slightly from the oil, cover with a little made mustard, black pepper aad a salt-spoonful of cayenne, fry in butter or oil, aud lay them oi. strips of buttered toast. Serve very hot. Tea Ioe Cream—Make one pint of very ■trong tea, mix it with half a gallon of new milk, add one pound of sugar and one teaspoonful of extract of cinnamon, set it on the stove and let it simmer slowly until the sugar is all dissolved, then set aside to cool, then freeze. Thickened Cream — Heat one cup of eream and one of milk together. Melt one tablespoonful of batter, and when bubbling add one tablespoonful of cornstarch. When well mixed add the hot milk gradually, stirring as it thiekens. Add salt and then pour it over the short-cakes. Strawberry Fool—Stew a quart of strawberries with four ounces of sugar for ten minutes, stirring to prevent burning; press through a fine hair sieve, and when oold stir into as much sweet cream as will make it of the consistency of custard. Serve in small glasses wife lady fingers and macaroons. Macedoine of Strawberries, etc.—You may make a most exquisite maoedoine of strawberries, bananas, cherries, pineapples and oranges. Let one-half the quantity be of strawberries and the other half about equally composed of the other four fruits. Arrange the fruit in layers wife sugar between each layer. Strawberry Pie—Line a deep dish with good paste, fill with layers of berries and sugar, sprinkling a little flour between the different layers to thicken the juiee which will form under the cooking process. Cover wife a crust, prick with a fork to let out the hot air ana bake in a hot oven. Just before serving raise the .crust aud pour in a gill of thick, sweet cream. Raspberry and Currant Tart—Halt-pint raspberries, one and one-half pints currants, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-half pound butter, one-half pound flour, cold water, the yelk of out egg. Make some puff paste as follows: Rub two ounces of nutter into the flour, then mix with cold water and egg; after it has stood a short time roll out the remainder of the butter ia a sheet and lay it on the paste; give the paste three turns to work in the butter; strip the currants from the stalks, put in a dish with the raspberries, piaoing an inverted oup in the ceuter, add the sugar, cover with paste and bake in a good aven, and when done sift sugar over. Berry Charlotte—Stew one qnart of berries, either strawberries, blueberries or black raspberries, in one pint of water. Squeeze through cheese-cloth, letting all but the seeds go through, then sweeten to taste, and beat again. Fill a bowl or oval mold with soft stale bread, crumbled finely. Pour the boiling fruit over the bread, moistening each layer of crumbs, and using as many.as the liquor will admit. Press each layer down that all the crumbs may be equally moistened. Set in a cold place—ou the ioe, it possible—and when ready to serve turn out on a pretty dish and serve with eream. Anything more simple, easily made and delirious, for allot summer day, can hardly be found. Hint* for HousrKeeper*.

To clean gold jewelry with the stones in, wash in warm ends made of fine soap, with ten or fifteen drops of salvolatile in it. This makes jewelry very brilliant If a little cornstarch is put iu the salt for the table it will keep it from lumping, and the pretty little shakers will not hare so hard a scolding in damp weather. Instead of using a whole egg to clear coffee, save the shells from cake, omelets, etri, and put a little eold water into the cup with the shell and the white that always remains. It elears the coffee just as welL When the ankle has been severely sprained immerse it immediately in hot water, keeping it there for fifteen or twenty minutes. After it has been taken out of the water keep it bandaged with cloths wrung out of hot water. To clean and restore the eUstteity of cane chair-bottoms, couches, etc., turn out if it can be, and wash with hot water and a sponge. Should it be soiled much, add soap.

Ha takes np fee financial Ufa of France, and, ia his characteristic fashion, introduces people who belong to fee French soil and nowhere else, and in a way that is peculiarly Zola-ish. Thera is more of a story here than Zola generally gives us, and it is more involved, too, than he always sailers bis tales to become. Th# ana and downs of speculation, the phases of financial life, all are realistically pictured. Monty is fee theme feroughont, and the influence of money upon men and women. There is in the romance that strength that goes with all of Zola’s fictions. It is aa moral as we are led to believe any French fiction ean be. THB CENTURY Illustrated monthly Magazine.

Indianapolis: Ths BowenMerrill Company. Mr. Stockton is at once ths most original and amusing of story-tellers. His humor is of the most delightful kind and b> s teles are* the quaintest conceits imaginable. This volume contains: “Euphemia Among the Pelicans,” “The Rudder Grangers in England," “Pomona’s Daughter,•‘Derelict," “The Baker of Barnburg,” and “The Water Devil." The doings of tm Rudder Grangers are of daily referenee in the households of the land. Who but Mr. Stockton could make a tale as quaint as '‘Derelict" and “The Water Devil"? His is a mind that revels in reasonable impossibilities, and he tells his stories so honestly and simply that one is inclined to believe they are truthful narratives in spite of one’s self. HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATESThe story of our country in brief Chapters for puplfs of the public schools. By John Clark Ridpath, LL. D. Indianapolis: Indiana School Book Company. Enough stress ia laid upon the events of Indiana history in this work to makeit of special value and interest to Indianians. Dr. Ridpath is so thoroughly equipped for the business of history-writing that his new school history is exactly what we should expect to cqme from him. He is impartial and fair where the political line is to be drawn, and as thorough as one can be in compressing much into little. The nation’s story is told down to the Harrison administration, and takes in Mr. Lodge’s election bill and Major McKinley’s tariff measure. The illustrations arc good, and the typography and binding all that could be desired. DRINKING WATER AND ICE SUPPLIES AND THEIR RELATIONS TO HEALTH AND DISEASE. By T. Mitchell Prudden, M. D.
