IN THE QUICKSANDS.
It was 1-eforo (lavs of railroads in
New Mif.. "FA Gringo," as the
natives c.illel the American, had not
vi t r!n; in fortv to th-j valley of the
Ileo Cirandc. Ail:ii i ripio, iu those
days, was u sleepy M -xi -an village,
with a few toivs mauaged by Ger
inans and Aiaericuns, aud was princi
pally diting!ii-hed as a rendezvous
joint whore trains were made up to
ro Kouth to FA J'aio, or west to Fort
Whipple and tin; Colorado.
I wiii -i.;nii.ct; 1 with a survey sent
out to ex inline a line along the twenty-fifth
parelh l. We ha I come down
the Ui' (irande from San Louis l'urk
j.'i Colorado, and the inhabitants of
uvery hamlet we stopped at celebrated
1... ; r.t.
These fan lungos, or dances, were held
at the fonda, or hotel, usually a oiip
btori' d adobe structure, with a hnr at
one end, a raised platform at the other
for musicians, and an intervening ex
panse of hard earthern floor, beaten
smooth by the feet of tho bravos and
senoritas of the Rio Grande.
To these fandangoes tho officers,
teamsters and soldiers were all in
vited, or rather they went without in
vitation and were welcome, and the
dark-eyed scnorita, accompanied by
their mothers, attended, and dancing
went on without the formality of an
introduction, a collection being taken
up by sending around tho hat to pay
the musicians, one of whom scraped a
iiddl e and the other picked a guitar.
Th e owner of tho fonda was compen
sated by the drinks which were or
dered by the men for themselves and
partners after each dance.
When we reached Albuquerque, a
fandango so great in its dimensions
and in the number who attended it as
to dwarf all others, was held at the
fonda kept by a man named Murphv.
At this point our escort was chauged,
the company of cavalry that had ac
companied us down the river from
Fort Garland being sent back and a
troop of the Fifth Cavalry coming
down from Fort Union to guard us
against the Apaches from tho Rio
Grande to the Colorado. This troop
had been stationed at Albuquerque a
short time before, and so tho officers
and m. -n were well acquainted with the
inhabitants. At the fandango this
night I was particularly struck by the
appearance of a dark-eyed pretty girl,
with a complexion that looked like
polished ivory, and which might have
indicated ill health but for the redness
of her lips. Her name, as I soon
learned, was Nina Seyana, and she was
regarded as the belle of Albuquerque.
A handsome young sergeant connected
with our new escort was evidently the
favorite of this charming girh They
had often met before, and I was in
formed by a German who ran a bar
ber shop mid a bar in concert, that
the sergeant would have married Nina
Keyana when stationed there before,
but for his f.-nr of . T.. 1 . ..l i
- jocai ues-
perado, known as Miguel Larado.
After this information I aid not
need to be told who Miguel Larado
was. I saw a short stout man of thirtv,
with black hair, a short, Mack" mous
tache, sinister eyes, very white teeth,
a red sash about his waist, and wear
ing a velvet tunic, all of which indi
cated to me that he was a very bad
man and that he thought himself no
cud of a dandy.
It was also evident that the young
sergeant who so selfishly persisted in
dancing with Nina Seyana when other
gallants were eager, to have her for a
partner in the waltz, had already
aroused the jealousy and started up all
the tiger in the heart of Miguel Lar
ado. As I am not a dancing man I
ieu me ioiuia before midnight and
went to my tent, which was pitched on
the brink of a river near by. I was
about to go to bed when I was startled
by hearing a woman's shrill scream,
followed by the shouting of men and
the quick crack of revolvers.
While I was wondering as to the
cause of this commotion, my servant
ran in, and in an excited voice, asked:
"Where is Doctor Parry?"
Doctor Parry was my tent mate, and
as he had not yet put in an appearance
I supposed he was yet at the fonda,
and so told the man.
In reply to my questions as to the
shooting, he said :
"Senor, Miguel Larado has stabbed
Sergeant Forbes! He wi'! :i t;lc
doctor does not colV'::',
I hurriedly .; ut on my coat r.:U rc-
turn.i to tbf hgtel, and entered &9
room which I had. bo recently left
crowded with gar and happy dancers.
On a blanket in the middle of the floor
lav Sergeant Forbes, with the ashy
gray hue on his face that indicated
death, if he had not upeeay renei.
Over him was bending the young girl
kissing him at times, and clasping her
handswhile she cried piteously to the
men to save the life of her lover or to
wreak vengeance on his assassin, Mig
uel Larako. Doctor Farry Boon put
in an appearance and succeeded in
stopping the hemorrhage the blade
of the dagger had passed through the
upper lobe of the young mans left
lun" and he was carried to a Ded
room in the fonda ; but the doctor was
r1,.r..r.mTnittftl as to the wounded
man's chances.
. Miguel Larado had committed many
murders along the Rio Grande, but
this was the- first time he had ever
made an assault on an American, or a
"white man," as the Americans were
then culled to distinguish them from
the native Mexicans.
Sergeant Forbes was very popular
with his troop and also with the peo
,.le of Albuoueroue. and ins comrades
and friends were wild with anger, and
at once be-'an a search of the town for
the assassin who, it is needless to say,
was not found.
Early the next morning a sheep
herder came into Albuquerque witn
the information that he had seen
Miuel Larado' on horseback over on
the Rio Fuereo, about eight miles west
of town.
Getting the consent of Captain Rob
bing Lietenaut Manning and twenty
;u, with as many more Mexican
horsemen, were soon riding at a fast
gallop in tlie direction of the place
where the assassin was reported as
having been seen.
The herder had made no mistake.
After a two hours' ride, the pursuers
surprised Larado while some distance
from his horse, which was grazing
lower down on the bank of the river.
The Puerco is a broad, shallow stream,
noted for its quicksands. Seeing that
he could not reach his horee, and that
the only chance of escape was to cross
the river, the outlaw, who knew its
dangerous character, hesitated for a
moment, then, urged to desparation
by the shouts of the oncoming horse
men, he plunged over the bank. In
, 1 "1 A A I 1 1 1 -
some way ne siruggieu to ine iniuuio
of the river, and his strength failed
him just as the foremost horseman dis
mounted and shouted to him to come
back.
Rut Miguel Larado could neither go
back nor forward. As he stood there,
le sankineh by inch. The men quickly
ook off their hitching halters, and
hrew them to him, but he cast them
aside, for he knew full well that if he
once got into their hands a rescue from
the quicksands would mean death at
one of those same halters.
Lower and lower he sank, till the
water reached his armpits. Then, by
a desperate effort, he succeeded in
reaching down and drawing a revolver
from his belt. Hissimr an oath, ho
eveled the weapon at the men on tho
nink, and lired. Fortunately, the
shot missed, and before he could fire
second time the quicksand had
reached his throat and the water was
dashing over his head.
Within live minutes of the time the
roopers under Lieutenant Manning
reached the bank of the Puerco, Mig
uel Larado had vanished forever in
tho quicksands that wero no more
cruel than himself.
The next day we began our march
westward, and when we reached Fort
Whipple, some two months afterward,
we were delighted to learn that Ser
geant Forbes had not only recovered
ut had wed.led the idol of his heart,
the beautiful Nina Sevana.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic. If
prepared in the following way it is
really a. delicious drink: Put the yolk
of an egg iuto.a dish with a teaspoon
ful of white sugar and a teaspoonful
of orange or lemon juice, and beat
lightly together with a fork. Put the
whites on a plate, and add a pinch of
salt ; then, with a broad-bladed knife,
beat it to a stiff froth. Now, as light

Limits of Electricity.
The principal hindrance to the de
velopment of electrical engineering,
says Alexander Siemens, must be look
ed for in the exaggerated expectation
that were raised, either by ignorance
or by design, when the general publio
first seriously thought of regarding
electricity as a commodity for every
day use. In its first stage the devel
opment of the electrical industry was
closely connected with telegraphy;
the second step might be said to have
been taken when electric lighting was
introduced; and now it seems that
transmission of power is to be tho
problem which electrical engineers
will have to grapple with in the near
future.
The success of electric tram line
has undoubtedly contributed to direct
general attention to the transmission
of power by electricity, but great
care will have to be exercised so as not
to start in a direction that can lead to
no practical results. Many schemes
have been started to introduce electri
city, as the motive power on the main
lines of railway, and to accelerate at
the same time the speed of the trains,
even up to 200 miles an hour. It
would be rash to say that such a speed
would not be attained some day, but
none of these schemes cau bo carried
out on a commercial basis' with the
means at present at disposal. Power.
A Southern Terrapin Farm.
"Upon the coast of the Gulf of Mex
ico, about ten miles south of Mobile,
is situated Dorlane's terrapin farm. It
is one of two in the United States, the
other being located on the coast of
Maryland, and belongs to Senator
Stewart. I was once the guest pt
Dorlane,"6aid L. E. Dougherty, at the
Emery, " and was much interested in
watching the development upon that
place. I found that the terrapins,
which are usually advertised for sale
in the resturants at from 25 cents to 1,
sold at from $i to $G a dozen.
"Perhaps 10,00Q terrapin are turned
into the Dorlanes terrapin farm at one
time. They will average all tho way
from one month to twelve months ; all
terrapin over that are not received at
all, because they can be sold direct at
more than would pay to raise them in
he farm. Tho farm is not unlike a
rice farm ; it is composed of strips of
narrow land and of narrow water, and
the terrapin are fed three times a day,
being called by a peculiar chuckle,
upon which they come and receive
their food. When arrived at the ago
of one year they sell readily in New
York for $4.50 per dozen. There are
lerhaps ten'thousand of them on the
Dorlanes farm below that age. They
are marketed when they are ono year
old." Cincinnatti Enquirer.
Cows Milked While You Hait.
To take a cow from door to door and
milk her in presence of each customer,
is the very newest departure in the
ondoa milk business. It is one that
is not lacking in boldness and origin
ality, and it deeerves more success
than it is likely, we fear, to meet with.
The practice is common enough in
3gypt, where householders appreciate
the advantage of being able to judge
or themselves whether tho animal
from which they draw their supply
ooks healthv or the reverse.
But then the average Egyptian ig
not the slave of the British urban su
perstition which demands that milk
should look thick and yellow in order
to be genuine. It is all in vain to as
sure most people in English towns
tyhat pure milk is not of a rich yellow
hue, and that as a matter of fact it
ought to be white. Thev know better
ban the cow and the milkmaid com-
binedand as they demand yellowness

hearts' content All that has to be
done, and is done, is to mix various
coloring matters with .the fluid, and
these pigments usually are inocuous,
though not always so. London Tele

A Sigu of Mental Activity.
"Talking to one's self is generally
considered a sign of a weak brain,"
said a doctor yesterday, "bat nothing
could be a greater mistake. It is a
sign of an extremely active brain. It
may be a strong or a weak intellect,
but the activity must be there to cause
this peculiarity. If you will observe
you will be astonished how many peo
ple you will meet on the street who are
thinking aloud. The talking is done
unconsciously. Often the people ad
dicted to the habit, if you called their
attention to it, would aver that thev
never were guilty of such a thing.
Some of the brightest men I have ever
do their thinking outloud without
knowing it, and on the other hand.
some of the weakest individuals, men
tally, whom I have met in my practice

with themselves. So it seems that a
man who talks to himself must be one
of two extremes,a wise man or a fool."

BEOWXED TOMATOES.
Now that tomatoes are becoming
Irger and finer, browned tomatoes
will be found very appetizing. Take
large round tomatoes and half them,
place them, the skin side down, in a
.frying pan, in which a very small
quantity of butter and lard have been
pr eviously melted, sprinkle them with
sah and pepper, and dredge well with
flouv. Place the pan on a hot part of
the fl.ro and let them brown thorough
ly; tht-n stir and brown again, and so
on untii they are quite done. They
lose their acidity, and their flavor is
superior to 6tewed tomatoes. New

BAKED CHICKEX.
Baked chicken with a iuce a la
Maryland is delicious for o luncheon
or a. course at a dinner. rljae chicken
should be cleaned, wiped vfcth a damp
cloth cut into portions, rofled in beat
en eggfj, and then in fin ;, dry bread
crumbs. Dake in a deep dish or pan
that has been well butbtrod, until a
rich brown and tender. To prevent
the meat from drying, b aste, occasion
ally with melted butter. If it browns
and cooks too fast, lay a sjaeet of as
bestos iaper over it for tln first half
hour. TSiese sheets of paper, which
come in ten cent packages, are, by the
jvay, also good to lay over cake or
bsead when there is danger of their
browning too quickly od. account of
the heat of the oven. The griddle
covers' of the same paper with metal
rims are very useful when cooking in
tinware or agasto utensils, in which sau
ces and eustardf. are being made. Th
chicken, when oooked, should bo served
with a sauce made from one table
s'poonful of flour, ono tablespoonful
of bittter, and a cup of chicken lie-oth
or -white stock. If you have leithov
stock nor broth use water. Rub the
butter .and flour together, add the
broth, aiod when smooth and free, from
lumps, add a bouquet of herbs made
from rollmg together a sprig of pars
ley, a smail "Gay leaf, one pepper corn,
and a sprig" of thyme. Cook six min
utes. The itauce should not be thicker
than cream. Strain into a double 1
boiler, see it where it will keep hot
but not boil, ao,d add four chopped
mushrooms, a lntlf a cup of the liquor
from the mushrooms, straining it be
fore using. Just before serving, bergt
the jolks of two eggs light, mix wi'h I
them half a cup of cream, and then -jhe

oughly and quickly. Dish the chi dken
on rather a deep platter and pou,r the

Some interesting facts and figures
have been furnished by Richard H.
Edmonds, of the Manufacturers Rec
ord. He says that it has been demon
strated to the world that in iron, cot
ton and lumber manufacture it is no
longer a question as to whether the
south can compete with other sections,
but it is a question as to whether other
sections can hold their own against the
south. Southern cotton mills practi
cally monopolize the coarse goods
trades and are rapidly pushing into
the production of finer goods. Ala
bama is making iron at less than $6.00
a ton, and able experts have recently
reported that the Carolines can pro
duce the best grades of Bessemer iron
for steel making at less than $3 a ton
n ioou tne soutn naa total farm as
sets of $2,314,000,000; by 1890 they
had increased to $3,181,000,000, amn
crease of 37 per cent., while during
the same period the increase in all
other states and territories was only 30
per cent. This, it should be remem
bered, was accomplished by the south
without immigration, while the west
had the benefit of nearly 5,000,000
foreigners who settled there within
fht period.
Ten years ago the south's agricul
tural and manufacturing and mining
products aggregated in ralue about
$1,000,000,000; now they are nearly
5-2, UUU, 000, 000, and are annually in
creasing. The increase in population
during that period was only 15 to 20
per cent, as the south has no heavy
immigration to swell its growth.
So, practically the same people who
ten yearsago were producing SI, 200,-
000,000 a year are now, by reason of
Deing more lully employed, able to
tarn out nearly $8,000,000 a year more

of tho last ten years, worked out in

Our War Potentiality.
The United States has been said to
be a warlike nation without being a
military nation. Its war potentialities
are vast, indeed. It showed that
thirty years ago, when with only a
little more than half its present popu
lation it mustered more than 3,000,
000 men under arms in the Union and
and Confederate forces. There are
now in America the enormous total of
9,900,000 men of military age eligible
for military service. No other civil
ized country in the world could place
such a gigantic host of men in the
field in an emergency.
Of course, the actual number of or
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States is only inade-
quately appreciated by the average
American. The military spirit which
the civil war engendered has not died
out among the American youth. On
the contrary, it has amply held its
own, it it nas not increased. .Never
before was the national guard of the
several states so strong in numbers, so
well armed, so excellently disciplined.
There are 112,190 of these volun
teers in all, representing infantry,
ca.al,ry and artillery. Their efficiency
widely varies, being high as a rule in
the old, rich and populous states, and
less satisfactory in the newer and
sparsely settled communities.
Isew York heads the list in numbers
with a well equipped force of 12,810
officers and men as large as a fighting
army corps of the rebellion. Penn
sylvania has a force of 8.G14, whose
mettle was tried two years aero at
Homestead; Ohio has 6,125, and Mas
sachusetts 5,666. As it happens, the
states in which the recent strike cen
tered are well prepared for such an
emergency. Illinois militia body
musters 4,777 men; Indiana's, 2,633;
Iowa's, 2,351; Missouri's, 2,415, and
luicnigan s, Illinois is particu
larly fortunate in the character of its
fine city regiments.
1 he entire organized militia of tho
United States is subject to the orders
of the president, and can be moved
and concentrated wherever occasion
for its presence arises. When to this
great army of 100,000 men are added
the 25,000 regular and 2,000 or 3,000
blue jackets and marines of the war
ships on the home station, it is obvi
ous that there is something more than
the policeman's club between the
American people and anarchy. Boston

An Old Timer of Twenty-three Years' To

Lake Geneva, Wis., July 21 Special.
The ladies of oar beautiful little town are
making an Interesting and exciting time for
tobacco-using husbands, slnoe the injurious
effects of tobacco and .the ease with which
It can be cured by a preparation called No
To-Bae, have been so plainly demonstrated
by the cure of Mr. F. C. Waite. In a written
statement tie says : "I smoked and chewed

sure that my case was one of the worst in
this part of the country. Even after I went
to bed at night, If I woke up I would want
to chew or smoke. It was not only killinsr
me but my wite was also ailing from the in
jurious effects. Two boxes of No-To-Bao
cured me, and I have no mora desire for to
bacco than I have to jump out of the win
dow. I have gained twenty pounds In thirty
days, my wife Is well, and we are indeed
both happy to say that No-To-Bac is truly
'worth Its weight in gold' to us."
The cure and Improvement In Mr. "Walte'a
case is looked upon as a miracle In fact, it
is the talk of the town afld county, and it Is
estimated that over a thousand tobacco
users will be using No-To-Bac within a few
weeks. The peculiarity about No-To-Bae aa
a patent medicine is that the makers, the
Sterling Remedy Company, No. 45 Randolph
street, Chicago, absolutely guarantee the
use of three boxes to cure or refund the
money, and the cost, $2.50, Is bo trifling as
compared with the expensive and unneces
sary use of tobacco that tobacco-using hus
bands have no good excuse to offer whoa
their wives insist upon taking No-To-Bac
and getting results in the way of pure, sweet
breath, wonderful Improvement in their
mental and physical condition, with a prac
tical revitalization of their nicotized nerves.

That, of all known agents to accomplish
