TUB STRA T CA MELAN ARABIAN TALE. BT JOHN O. SIZE. A camel driver who had loet Ilia camel, chancing to accost A wandering Arab in the way. Said: 44 Sir, my beast has pone astray ; And went, I think, the rosa you came." Fray," fcaid the stranger, " was he lame f ' He was Indeed," was thereplj; " And, tell me, had he lost an eye T1 "Tis even bo!" ' And one front tooth?" "In faith! you speak the simple truth!" M And for his load there was a sack Of honey on the caml's back V There waa indeed ! now tell me, pray, 5 Of course he can't be far away) ust when and where the brute you passed; And was he going slow or fast?" "Faith," said the stranger, "on my word, I know no more than I nave heard From your own lips! Nor in my way Have I observed for many a day A camel like the one you claim ; I swetr it in the prophet's name!" The camel-driver all in vain Besought the Arab to explain ; He Kill insisted as before That of the beast he knew no more Than from the owner he had heard! Whereat the camel-driver, stirred "With wrath, expressed his firm belief TliU knowing Arab waa a thief; Then to the Cadi off he went, And told his tale. Ilia honor sent And brought the stranger into court. " You hear this worthy man's report," The Cadi said, "of what occurred ; And still you answer not a word. Save that his beast you never saw. Allah is great! and law is law! How know you then that he is lame?" " By this that where the camel came, Ujxm the sand one footprint lagged, "W hich showed one foot the camel dragged." "Tis well explained; now tell me why You said the camel lost an eye, And from his Jaw one tooth was lost?" " By thiB thrtt nowhere had he crossed The road to browse the other side; And, furthermore, I plainly spied, "Where'er his teeth had chanced to pass, A narrow line of standing grass, Which showed, as clear as truth is truth, The camel had one missing tooth !" "And how about the honey 3" "Well, It surely wmn': hard to tell The nature of the camel's load. When gathered all along the road A thousand bees " 44 There! that will do " The Cadi said. "The case is through Aiid you're discharged! But let me Lint, (A leshon plain as any print) A deal of trouble may arise, At times, from being over wise!" COLUXEL DERRINGER'S LUCK. You -were talkin' of strokes o' luck, stranger and how they often come jest when you don't look lor 'em. I'll tell you another fact to add to that air they most alius come from where you don't look for 'em, neither! Seems to me. mister, us luck is some way like gold diggin' jou put inter a spot whar thar oughter be seven ounces to the pan, and you find nary grain; and then, again, you think the hull gulch is kinder played out, and all you kin do is to leave when, all to once, kerchunk! out roll the nug gets into vour hands, jest like peas from a pod. Them's my ideas, and I know what I'm savin, you bet! for the biggest streak of luck as ever I struck kirn jest that air way. And this was how i kim out, if you keer to hear it: Mayhap you've heern tell of a location called "Jeflcot's Pan," 'way down in Nevada, whar one o them little rivers that come down from the Sierra spreads itself out inter a broad, shallow reach, with a sort o jungle on each side. It got its name fust from a chum o' mine, Sam Jetlcot, of Denver, who was down thar prospectin' for a likely spot for he was a regular Gambusino (gold -finder). Wal, he rode on ahead of his party, and hap pened upon this hyar spot, and the min ute he clapped eyes on it he knew it for a band as 'iwar safe to bet on, and con cluded to fix thar. But jest then some thievin Dog-Injuns, who war loafin' around, kim along and went for him straight; so he put for a cave in the rocks, whar only one could pass at a time, and thar he kep' the doorway with his six-shooter all through till sundown, when his party kim up and stampeded jem. Rather gritty of old Sam, warn't "Wal, when the news of that find fust potabouMhe boyg all kim around like flies Knew mat veras, whom I knowed right out for a bad 'un; and as he kim stridin' along as if he'd tread us all down like grass Sam steps out into the middle of the clearin to meet him, and says: uen l men, air you a-comin to visit anyone here? for I calc'late you don't know as this is our location and your names am t down in our census, nohow you kin fix it!' vvai, says Joe Harris, "1 guess we're a-going to clear out them Chinee skunks tbet's come sneakin' round ou? camp; and we mean clearia' 'em out, you bet!" " Wal," says Sam, quite cool, 4 I guess mem uninces are my workmen; ana whoever touches 'em's got to talk to me fust." I'd got my Derringer ready cocked in my jacket pocket (I m pretty smart with it, you bet ! And thet's why they call me " Cunnle Derringer"); and the minnit I heerd that I knowed 'twar time to begin, Joe swore an oath as big as a pumkin and went for Sam with his bowie : but afore he could strike I fired through the linin' o' my pocket and th rowed him plum in his tracks. Sam plugged an other the next minnit and then the skrimmage began in earnest. A mad business it war as ever I seen no order or sense but jest every man puttin' his knife into the fust thing as kim nigh him. We fired off our revolvers in too great a hurry, considerin' thar warn't time to load agin; and so it kim hand to hand, and the odds bein agin' us we war fast goin inter the back settle ments when, all at once, crash! smash! down kim a shower o' great lumps o' quartz jist as if they fell from heaven, knockin' over the Skunk's Misery boys right and left. While we war busy rub- bin' each other out the Chinese gang had fotched a compass behind the bushes and attacked the enemv in the rear. Thar war at least fifty on 'cm, all peHin' away like a 'lection down South: and with them behind and us in front Harris' lot began to find theirselves in rather a close place. So then Sam Jeffcot stepsJ iorraa ana sings out : Throw down yer knives, or you're every man a gone coon!" Down went the toothpicks and the Chi nese picked 'em up. Then Sam goes on : xsow just make tracks out of this and don't come back no more, or you'll get your sarce hotter'n you like! Me and my pardner's took this hyar locatron and ii nave nity more men on't in a week s time; so you'd best leave!'.' Ihis wan rather tall talk. I swar: for to save his life Sam couldn't ha' put a man on the ground, barnn' them that war thar already; and one o' them war dead and another putty nigh it. JJut the boys swallered every word on't and war onlv too glad to git away, carryin' their dead ana wounaea long with em. And when the fun war all over an old wizened hea then, with a pigtail like a tow-rope, who seemed to be the boss of the gang, got up and thanked Sam and me in the very tall est kind o' speech and vowed that we were the greatest fighters in the world. swift as the wind and terrible as the light ning just like a Fourth o' Julyo-ration; and he said if ever he or his people could do anything for us done it should be and no mistake. I only larfed at all his par-ley-vooin', thinking that all he could do for us wouldn't nil the bag much ; but I warn't quite right thar, neither, as vou'll see presently. And now, for a bit. evervthinrr went fust-chop. We parceled out the yaller skins into gangs and put one of our boys over each as overseer; and, I tell ye, we did get a right smart chance o' work out er 'em, you bet! They warn't our match for strength, o' course, as how should they be, fed on scraps and shavings as most all on 'em air? but I can tell ve they keep it up for a good long spell when they are at it, and it cost next to nothin' for their keep. Why, that 'Frisco railway track of ourn war 'most all dene by Chi nee, gangs' and that war how we done it so cheap. Many a time did Sam Jeffcot ana 1, arter we'd got through with our own work (for we worked like wood choppers our own selves, let alone over lookin' the rest), come along and stand over the yaller-faces as they worked and we'd come out with a bit of a song that C? 1 I 1.

Wash yer mouth out with nip o the old rye, and tell us whar you got them cards and what you'll take for the hull pack! ' The old fellow ginned again, like fox-trap,mdthen began to tell us in his queer jargon all about it. He said he d gone town agin to Jeffcot's Pan jest to look around and see if thar war any sign of more gold to be got out on t when, as Ire was a loafin along a little stream that fell inter the main river jest atthet p'int, his knife slips outer his belt and tumbles inter the water.

Wal, he didn't think no more 'bout findin' his knife, you bet! He jest put for our camp, hot foot, to tell us the news ; and he said if we'd go back with him and turn that stream outer its course (which war no great shakes of a lob). we'd find gold that any placer (gold field) in the Sierra warn t a circumstance to; and that we war heartily welcome to all on i, in thanks tor stanuin' by mm agin the Skunk's Misery lot. liytime!

Come along, then, and we 11 jest put the job through, right away; and you shall have a lumpin share, whether we hnd much or whether we find little!" So off we went, stranger, and not to make a ten-fathom yarn outer nothin' wc made sitch a pile that all our last diggin' warn't a natch on't. I won't tell ver what my share war, for 'fraid ye wouldn't believe me; 'twar big enough to 6ave me the trouble of ever puttin' hand to pick agin; and if you'll come and see me when we get to 'Frisco you'll see I kin pay my way and somethin over. Now it seems to me as thet war somethin' of an adventur'. How does it strike you? thet's a-runnin all over the StaysV -" "T I IIP V Combat With a Leopard.

So heavy were the losses of the inhabitants of the district owing to the ravages cf this animal that they agreed to have a battue for him, but in the meantime Caramouchi determined to attack the Jeopard alone. Sallying forth one morning about three weeks ago, ac companied bytwo friends, he found the track of the animal m the snow, and fol lowed it up to a cavern in the rock. The three men fired their guns simultaneous ly into the entrance of the cavern, and were rewarded by the sudden appear ance of the leopard, who, bounding for ward, seized Caramouchi, lacerating him severely in the arms and legs.' After a desperate struggle the leopard, who had been wounded by the discharge of guns into the cavern, . quitted its prey and witndrew to the brink of a ravine a few yards off. Caramouchi's friends at this uncture prudently proposed to retreat. but Caramouchi signified his intention of pursuing the sport, and, reloading his gun, fired another shot at the object of his pursuit. Theleopard was now thor oughly out of temper, and, bounding again on its assailant, the fight com menced in earnest. Caramouchi was horribly mangled, but just as his strength was giving way he drew out a knife, and, stabbing the leopard in the stomach, by a vigorous effort shook it off and chucked it down the ravine. The leopard was killed by the fall. Caramouchi fainted, but, partially reviving, was carried with the dead in triumnh to the village. IWI nut to bed. where he is likef-i- I founts to remain w. . "M.i.jubscrip r ln hv his r 1 rm-tp Wal AGRICULTURAL AJiD DOMESTIC No woman should marry a farmer if she has not learned or is unwilling to learn to be a good cook not an adept in cake-making and concocting highly seasoned and expensive dishes, but one who can vary the manner of preparing plain materials so as to make them ac ceptable to her family. There is scarce ly an article raised on the farm that ad mits of more palatable ways of cooking than Indian corn. To prepare many of the nice dishes from this, the butter, milk and eggs that are supposed to abound on the farm are very important ingredients; yet there is one dish that can be prepared from corn-meal which most people enjoy, in which no addition is required but salt and water; I mean hasty-pudding, or mush, which every body ought to know how to make niie ii is not, pour the mush into a suitable dish, .and let it stand till next morning; cut in slices about half an inch in thickness, roll in flour; have a spider with a tablespoonful of good lard and one of butter heated a little short of burning; put in the slices, and brown nicely on both sides. This constitutes a breakfast-dish, simple, easily cooked and much enjoyed. Lansing Republican. Few people know how to prepare uncooked tomatoes in the way adopted in my family and incomparably better than any mode I have ever tasted. By this mode they are very desirable for supper or breakfast. For a family of half a dozen persons take six eggs, boil four of them. .hard, dissolve the yolks with vinegar sufficient, add about three teaspoons of mustard and mash as soon as possible; then add the two remaining eggs (raw), yolk and white, stir well ; then add salad oil to make altogether sauce sufficient to cover the tomatoes well, and plenty of salt and cayenne pepper, and beat thoroughly till it frosts. Skin and cut the tomatoes a full fourth of an inch thich and pour the sauce over, and vou have a dish fit for a. nresident. Though a little troublesome to prepare, yet if once eaten by people who are blessed with palates to enjoy good things they will be pronounced to be far supe riorjo any other mode of preparation. For dinner they are best stewed, but they should always be strained before sending to the table. Car. Germantown Telegraph. A lady wanted to know how to make butter gather, and another one says scald the cream. That will do, I sup pose, but here is a much bet ter way. It always brings the but ter, hard and yelllow. in half an hour; besides that, it has the merit of sweetening andremoving the flavor which turnips and cabbage impart to butter if fed to cows. It is to add a lump of saltpeter, about the size of a small mar ble, to every gallon of cream. Put it in the jar when vou commence skimming. and stir gently each time after skim ming, lhe cream should always be skimmed just as the milk begins to turn a little sour. I find it benehcial in pack ing butter; its preserving qualities are quite satisfactory. Knowing how effi cient it is in obviating all difficulties, I say try it to be convinced. Car. Cin cinnati Times. Ilorses and cattle are liable to sprains in cold weather from slipping on ice, and horses often get " calked."

Sometimes it will happen there are nice large pieces of steak left from din ner; if you broil it over it is tough, and so I put it piH in a spider with water and let it simmtjr'gently through the morn ing. At dianer-time I lay it on a platter, nut a little butter on it and pour around it the gravy it was boiled in, or if the pieces are small and rather fat I chop it fine, return it to the 6pider, season with pepper and salt and dip out upon pieces of stale bread which have been nicely toasted.

Like most of the shnws face,' clipped to improve the looks. This treatment of the horse may be cruel or not, according to cir cumstances. There -can be no doubt but the clipped horse requires greater care than the one with a full coat of hair. He must be carefully housed and blanketed. With such attention he does not suffer from the cold, and if driven hard is more easily dried and cools off with less danger to health than where covered with a heavy coat of wet hair. With everything favorable the clipping may be an advantage to the horse, in creasing its comfort and insuring good health. WJiere a horse is exposed to win ter weather, destitute of warm housing and generous blanketings, of course" it is cruel to rob him of the protection afforded by nature; but where the re ver: is the case the appearance of the ani mal may be improved by clipping with out detracting from its comfort or injur ing its health. Whether clipping is cruel or not, therefore, depends entirely upon the treatment of the animal after the clipping takes place. Toledo Blade. A motherly woman, writing in the Christian 3onitar, declares that she fully agrees with any thoughtful woman who spares her boys the humiliation of wear ing great round or triangular patches when her own skill and a generous supply oi pieces make the reseated pants look al most as well as new ones. May they hold her in grateful remembrance long after they shall have outlived the era of torn trousers. She suggests that when pants need repairing over the knee it is a good way to rip the seams each side of the worn part, cut it out and insert a new piece, pressing it nicely before closing the side seams again. Neither boy nor man need be ashamed to wear garments neatly patched, if it be necessary, and every girl should be taught that mending wen a an essential part of domestic economy A Woman's ret. There Is nothing very extraordinarv in folks fond of animal pets desiring to in sure their favorites being well treated after their death, but there is something extraordinary in bequeathing a parrot an annuity oi more man i'-JW. That is what a wealthy London widow did do for 44 her faithful companion for twentv- four years." Poll was pretty sure of being well looked after, since the 200 guineas a year were to be paid to whom soever took charge of her and proved her identity twice every year, all payments to cease from the non-production of the bird. Eccentric as the bequest appears Mrs. Hunter was passing shrewd and business-like in her arrangement for her pet's comfort. She named a widow of her acquaintance as the recipient of her bird and its legacy, giving her power to bequeath both to whomsoever she pleased, provided the person was neither a servant nor a man and did not live out of England. She furthermore left twen ty guineas to buy a verv larce caere. and directed her executors, in the event of her friend declining to take the charge, to see the parrot placed in resnectable hands; then, with an eye perhaps to some relative raising difficulties, the old lady put this clause in her last testament: 1 will and desire that whoever attemnts to dispute this, my last will and testa ment, or by any means neglects or tries to avoid paying mv narrct s annuitv. shall forfeit whatever I have left them: and if anyone that I have left legacies to attempts bringing in any bills or charges against me, it is mv will and de sire that they shall forfeit whatever legacy I may have left them for so doine1. as I owe nothing to anyone ; many owe me gratitude and money, but none have paid me either."

I have a neighbor, and he is no green hand at the bellows, but a farmer of many years standing one of those experienced fellows who should know all about it, and who doubtless thinks he does that for the past eight or ten years has fed his hogs in a little pen three or four rods square without anything in the way of floor or shelter oeyono what nature has provided mother earth below and the skies above. I was looking over his hosr tr,.HavnT passed, for the pen is immediately along side lhe road. The hogs have noplace to go into out of the mud, which is five or six inches deep, perhaps deeper they must hunt out the corn from the quagmire into which it is thrown, and make their beds in the same precious mortar. His hogs are from sixteen to eighteen months old, and do not weigh over 250 pounds on the average. An other neighbor who was with me re marked that he did rot. bplippo hc hogs had gained a pound in a month. The practice of turning the hogs into the cornfield is nerhana a lit.tln utt than, this, but still not much better. It's about Hobson's choice between them. Now, such ways of feeding hogs do not pay at any time, and especially when corn is fifty cents to sixty cents per bush el. It behooves us farmers to look into this matter of feeding and see if we can- " "fou more improved anji eco nomic methods. It behooves U3 to giw the matter our most serious thought and to discover how we can make the last ounce of pork from a bushel of corn If wc uo not qo tnis we certainlv dPHeT units sympatny when we complain hard times and high taxes. juc practice 1 pursue is to grind '"" wuaiever grain i am goi feed, and rook it ivitl, : . .
