Sugar Making In Louisiana.
A little girl residing in St. James' Parish,
La., recently wrote the following letter.
to Harper's Young People, in which she
described how sugar is made on the Louisiana
sugar plantations: °
1 live on a sugar plantation which is situa-
ted on the Mississippi river, and I will try to
give you a little account of how sugar is
tnade•on a sugar plantation; The cane is cut
in the field by negros. We employ from
seventy to a hundred negroes during the har-
vesting season of the cane. When the cane
is cut it is carried to the sugar house and put
under a shed. When it is under the shed
there are hands there who put it on a band,
which carries it to the rollers; then it passes
through the rollers to have all the juice
mashed out of it. The refuse that is left
when the juice is mashed out of the cane is
called begass; the begass is carried off by a
band to a large chimney, inhere it is burned.
When the rollers have mashed the juice out
of the cane, it passes through a little box
filled with sulphur fumes; the sulphur is to
purify the juice.. From there the juice goes
through a trough' into big boxes which we
,
call juice boxes, where it . remains until it is
thoroughly settled. Then it *2 put in kettles,
but before it is put in the kettles we use a lit-
tle lime to cleanse the juice, so all of the dirt,
and impurities will come up to the; top so it
can be thrown off by means of a paddles.

--Golden Days.
E bra i of - the' three
Nebraska, school teachers,
Miss Freeman; Miss Royce
and Miss Shattuck, in the
terrible blizzard that passed
thrdngh Minnesota, Dakota, Infra and Ne-
braska in January, hag been the subject of
much newspaper, writing, but a complete
and correct recital of their self-saeri 1 ing
heroism'hreenot yet been told.
Miss Loie bf, Royce was teaching a school
near Plainfield, Neb., on the day of the great
storm.. At noon six of the 'children went
home, and the blizzard coming up, they did
not return.' Miss sRoyce and the three re-
maining pupils stayed. at the school until S
o'clock, and the • fuel giving out the young
lady determined to take her little ones to her
boarding house, situated only fifteen rods
from the school house. They started out,
but in the fury of the storm wandered out of
their way and became lost, Tho storm in-
creased, and after hours of endeavor the
brave teacher sank down in the snow and
gathered her little brood about her. 'Dark-
ness came on. Weary and frightened, the
little ones began to cry. Sinking to the
snow covered ground, they sobbed them -
Selves into a restless sleep. Tho brave
young girl realized that this exposure would
result in death to her little flock, and, stretch-
ing herself at full length upon the snow, and
to the north, she huddled the three little ones
to her breast, covering them with her own
cloak, and thus shielding them from the wind
with her own form. In the night one of the
little boys sank
iuto a silence which at
the teacher knew
was death. The
feelings of the
young guardian,
herself eulfering
with the awful
cold, cannot de de- ;%e%
scribed nor imag- %
ined. At midnight
the other boy died ,
without a word of e'
' ,S _
warning, and, with Y
an effort, the bravo
woman gathered MIss ROYCE.
little Hattie Rosburg, aged 7, in her arms.
The child became delirious, and between her
sobs came the pitiful appeal: "Oh, I'm so
cold, mamma; please cover me up;" an ap-
peal which rent the heart of the faithful
teacher. At daylight the little girl died. At
6 o'clock in the morning Miss Royce reached
shelter, both feet and her left arm and hand
being frozen. Both of her feet have since
been amputated at the ankles. It is believed
her arm will be saved. Though unsuccess-
ful in her efforts to save the lives of her little
charges, Loie Royce did the best she could,
and the angels could do no more.
Anotbeie heeelfie is Miss Minnie Freeman,
who was teaching a school in the Mira Val-
ley district, near Ord, Neb. The pupils were
wrought up to the highest pitch of excite-
ment by the fury of the storm. In the midst
of the teacher's assurance that all would be
well, a terrible gust of wind struck the build-
ing, the windows rattled, the house shook
and the door of the structure was torn from
its hinges. It was then the young teacher
realized the necessity of preparing for emer-
gencies. With an exhibition of rare judg-
ment she gathered her little brood together,
and, securing a coil of strong, heavy twine,
began with the largest ones andtied the chil-
dren together by the arms and bodies, three
abreast. This completed, she huddled her
charges around the
stove. This was
scarcely a c c o m
plished when the
blizzard struck the
building and car-
ried away in the
twinkling of an eye
the entire roof of
the structure, leav-
ing the frightened
little ones exposed
.,a r• ..
,a1:% to the elements.
, The time for
t�,i prompt action had
arrived, but the
MISS FREEMAN. plucky teacher was
equal to the emergency. Taking the young-
est and frailest of her charges in her arms,
she tied the remaining end of the twine
around her own body, and, with all the words
of encouragement she could muster, the
courageous young woman started with the
frightened little ones out into the fury of -the
storm. After a wearisome journey of three-
quarters of a mile, the little band reached a
farm house•and warmth and shelter.
The cut at the bend of this article is from a
photograph taken of Miss Freeman, her
school house and her pupils, since the great
storm.
On the same night Miss Etta Shattuck,
who was a teacher near Emmet, Holt county,
Neb., took refuge in a hay stack, and was
exposed to 'the elements for a period of
seventy-eight hours. From Thursday night
to the following Sunday evening she was
without food or drink. Unlike the Misses
Royce and Freeman, she was not burdened
with the care of little ones, as all of her
pupils. were sent to
their homes in time
to avoid the effects
of the storm. To
the children in her
care she discharged
every obligation.

An Anecdote- About Washington Irving.
Numbered with stories told about Wash-
ington Irving is the following: In his early
youth Washington Irving had a longing to
go to sea and be a pirate. He determined to
make the attempt, but wisely decided to pre-
pare himself for it by prelitninary experi-
ences. He began by eating salt pork. That
made him sick, He then slept for a night or
so on hard hoards. That made him sore. It
was enough. He had no mare desire • to go
away. Other bpys who want to capture
men-of-war, or Who desire to go west and
scalp Indians, would do well to imitate young
Irving's example.
A Pyramid of Alum.
Among simple chemical amusements, is
that of a pyramid of alum. Place a piece of
alum in water, and as it dissolves it will as-
sume a pyramidal form,' This curious phe-
nomenon is .due to the faet-that at first the
alum melts quickly, but as it becomes united
with the water the solvent power of the lat-
ter diminishes. Near. the end of the ex-
periment .yon may notice the alum covered
with geometrical figures in relief,

Medleinal Bathssaand How to Give Them.
6eltger Water for Burns.
An attendant upon an invalid sboui;l bo
able to give easily, quickly and effectually
aoy, kind of bath that the physician may
order. Elizabeth li, Somali tells in {loci
Housekeeping how to give various forms of
the bath its general use, among them the
following:
' To give a foot bath in bed, torn back the
clothes from the foot of the bed, lay a square
of India rubber cloth on the lower sheet, and
on it place a small tub of hot water; let the
invalid lie with the knees drawn up, and,put
the feet in the tub. Cover the knees with a
folded blanket, and let it completely envelbpe

water to replenish that in the tub as soon as
it begins to cool: Three or four tablespoon-
fuls of mustard are usually added to the bath.
Sulphur baths are sometimes ordered tor
persons suffering from rheumatism. A quer-
ter
uay
ter of a pound of, sulphurated potash is added„
to about twenty gallons (or six pails) of hot
water -enough to cgmpietely immerse the
body. The temperature of the water should
not be allowed to fall below 98 degs. The
Patient should be wrappeil.in a sheet and
placed in the ba,tli, retraining, there for some
time. Tho head must be kept cool with
cloths dipped in lee water. A warm blanket
must be ready to receive the bather when
the bath is finished.
A vapor bath cap be given by seating the
person in a cane bottom chair, pinning a
blanket around the neck and letting it fall to
the ground on all sides. Under the blanket
place a large pan, two-thirds full of boiling
water; into this plunge hot bricks, one at a
time (two or three will be enough). In a
short time the patient will be in a perspira-
tion. Dry with warm towels and put.bim to
bed. This is effectual treatment for a bad
cold if the sufferer can be kept warm the
the next day. .
Lord Nelson and the Midshipman.
Lord Nelson was most careful and kind in
his training of the midshipmen under his
his charge. It may well be supposed that
among thirty boys some would be found who
were timid, as well as many who were bold.
He never rebuked the timid, but always
wished to show them that he desired noth-
ing which he would not instantly do himself.

Trained around the casing of windows, Ei g-
lish ivy forms a charming framing; or it may
be carried around picture frames and mirror„
In training the ivy, stretch a small 'copper,'
wire, and tie the stems to that, then should
you at any time wish to remove therm out of
doors it can be done more readily. If you
wish to start cuttings, place them in a jar,
or bottle of water. When roots are formed
put them in a rich soil without stimulating
manure, and water them freely. Put gravel
in the bottom of the pot for drainage.
A Warns Bath for the Baby.
When babies are restless, feverish and
sleepless give them, not soothing syrups or
opiates, but a warm bath. For babies the
warm bath ii a blessed institution, declares a
writer in Babyhood; bettor thau all medi-
cines, it will impart relief and restoration to
the feverish and restless little folks. In ad-
dition to its charming effect upon the general
conditions it is well to add there is scarcely a
local trouble of .a temporary nature, es, for
example, pain in the stomach or bowels,
which will not give way upon immersing the
body in the warm bath. The degree of
temperature may be determined by the
urgency of'tho symptoms. Tho greater the
su fering tine warmer should bo the water,
especially it the patient be one of strong con-
stitution. When the little sufferer becomes
quiet or the skin moist, it should be taken
out, rubbed with soft, warm towels, and
wrapped in a fresh, warm blanket.
No other simple means in the treatment of
sick children can be compared with it. In
teething. the brain irritation and bowel af-
fections aro more relieved, by a judicious use
of the warm bath than by all other means.

A New Remedy for Burns.
An ingenious drug clerk has discovered
something new in the way of a speedy rem-
edy for burns. He allows the contents of a
siphon of seltzer water to flow slowly over
the affected parts. In a moment or two the
pain vanishes. He continues the treatment
a few minutes, thenapplies a healing lotion
and bandages ties parts, and in case of slight
burns no fuather inconvenience is felt. He•
attributes the quick relief afforded by tho
seltzer water to the action of its carbonic
acid gas.
Hints for Nurses.
Hot food and drink/or the sick should be
hot—not lukewarm.
The rooms of fever patients may be well
ventilated with less fear of their taking cold
than in other diseases.
Do not use damp towels about the sick.
Let clean clothing for a patient be thor-
oughly aired and warmed at the fire just be-
fore putting it on. •
SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
3. Never wring the articles, but tanto them
froln the water dripping wet and hang them
up to dry.
4. Iron while still damp, stretching the
articles to the required length and width.
The iron should not be too hot; never hot
enough to crinkle an animal fiber like a hair
or bristle.
5. No soda or lye S110111tIIle used.
Manners and Customs Practiced in. Polite
Society. '
In discussing the question of introduction,
as excellent authority as Mrs. Sherwood says
that it is not usual for a hostess to ascertain
whether a gentleman wishes to be introduced
to a lady or not; but at a ball the poor man
is often consulted, as the introduction is gen-
orally with a view to "getting a partner" for
the lady. As the gentleman may be unwill-
ing or unable to dance, it is necessary to
ascertain beforehand whether the introduc-
tion is desired or not; otherwise the young
lady would be left disappointed and perhaps
mbttifled.
At dinners a hostess uses her own discre-
tion as to whether she shall introduce or not.
It is not customary. to make general intro-
ductions at a dinner party, but in sending
guests down to dinner who aro strangers to
each other the host or hostess should intro-
duce the gentleman to the lady whom he is
to take to dinner. It is quite unnecessary to
ask the lady's permission to do this. Itis
the recognized law of good society that feuds
should not be remembered at a dinner party.
One should converse with his intimate enemy
at a dinner as if they were bosom friends,
A hostess introduced ladies after dinner to
each other if she sees they do not speak, but
a gentleman doee not introduce gentlemen
over their' wine, as the convivial board is
supposed to be a sufficient introduction. It
is a great pity that Americans have not yet
learned that the roof under which they meet
is an introduction. The guests then converge
with each othee. The act of so conversing
does not constitute an acquaintance or the
right to call, although it might, under cer-
tain circumstances, establish a bowing ac-
quaintance, es a lady should bow to a gentle-

Ilow to Cook Salt Salmon.
Take a piece of the salmon as largo as re-
quired for use, place it in a pan of fresh
water until it is thoroughly saturated the
evening before the day you intend to use it;
then allow the water to drip from the faucet
on the salmon in the pan for twelve hours,
say over night, the pan remaining in the
sink so that the overflow can be carried off.
By this time it will be fresh . enough to 'be
palatable. The salmon should then be dried
with a dry towel, and then broiled on a grid-
iron over a quick fire, or fried as in theordin-
ary manner of preparing other varieties of
salt fish, or it can be boiled and served.
Liquid for Sponging Coats, Etc.
For sponging coat collars, and for cleaning
and washing all kinds of woolen goods, soap
bark is excellent. Put an ounce of the pow-
dered bark into a bottle, and pour over it a
pint or more of boiling water. When it ,set -

Breast of Veal with Tornatoes.
After wiping a breast of veal.with a wet
cloth, lay it in a small dripping pan, and
brown it quickly in a hot oven. Meantime
peel and slice a pint of tomatoes, or use those
which have been crewed; when the veal is
brown season it highly with pepper and salt,
pour the tomatoes over it and bake until the
meat is well done. Serve it with the tomatoes
on the same ctish.
Moder:- Clocks of Many Styles.
An indispensable attachment to the modern
high class clock is a set of chime bells.
These are arranged in various ways, the gong
being most used. The latest improvements
consists of a row of silver pipes, producing
a clear, musical tone not unlike a fine silver
bell. This form of chimes is suitable only
for large or hall clocks.
The-large•hall clock is every year corning
into more general use, and familieswho have
ancestral timepieces of this sort are con-
gratulating themselves on the possession of
valuable relies. New cheeks of this descrip-
tion aro copied after various antiques.
Mahogany, cherry, rosewood, oak and wal-
nut aro used; also thin woods• with fine
enamel and veneers.

Dean Stn,—I assure you I feel grateful/or the
radical euro you have effected in my throat treb-

in connection with tho testimonial business, yet,
having regard for those who are similarly affect-
ed as well as having a desire to recognize Cho re-
sults of your treatment, I make A departure is
this case, Prior to my acquaintance with you,
I had suffered for two years from repeated at-
tacks of catarrahal sore throat,and each succeed-
ing attack being more prolonged and violent than
the former. At there times I had violent flti of
coughing, and would discharge iege gaantftiob •
of mucus. Feeling alarmed, I sought the best
medical skill available, including a fnuch-notdd
Specialtist, and toolt almost everything known
to medicine without experiencing a particle df
roilef. Last spring I went to Europe, The
change did mo good, but on my return the old
trouble was renewed, Seeing you `advertised tb
visit this place. I thought 1 would consult
yon, although I eantess with not much hope of
reciiivieg anybenefit, Howe'Yer, I Was ft'aortble
impressed with your -dander, And resolved to give
your treatment a trial, The result, I am happy
to inform you is a cempleto cure and ono so
ndkmy fried la nds. Fmrtia to thefirsttty ursmedic1gle
seemed adapted to my case and gave me roliof,
In two months I was entirely well, a d have se
continued during the tnbat uptSvorabltr s0Asd0'
of Cho year.' You aro at liberty to make what.
use you please of this letter, and I shall be ploa4-
