v-«o .-, YOUNG FOLK Lost 0115; Plains. Wee Gretchen‘s father and mother were Germans, onl a few years over from the Fatherland w en they purchased a farm on the rollin prairie, and began to make the most of their roomy surroundin . It is a well-known fact that ‘ermans are good neighbors, first, because usually they 1 will work faithfully, and not only increase the value of their own property, but by so doing enchance that of the farms adjoining; and, second, because they will economize and kee ahead of expenses in the most sur- prising ashion. Gretchen’s parents were no exception to the common rule. The father was up betimes, and the good mother, with sleeves rolled above her dimp~ led elbavs, made things buzz about the little shanty. Gretchen was onl three years old, and ran about the yar , which, having only a fire-brake for a fence, was a yard on rather a stupendous sale, it is true. But the baby did not care, she trotted hither and thither, no 2' after speckled Biddy, and now after la7y old Bowzer, who slept all day on the sunniest side of the house. ' Sometimes she could hear her mother singing quaint old German songs, and some- times the cheery whistle of her father, lowâ€" ing, over in the north part of the c aim, reached her ears. If she was hungry, she ran to the door and made her wants known, departly. from thence to divide half of her bread and utter with the dog. But one do ' a neighbor called upon Gretchcn’s mother, a German woman, also, who had known them in the dear Father- land, and for quite a while the baby was for- gotten. When they went to call her, no sweet little voicc answered,and no little blue frock and rosy face was visible. ' “\Vhy, where can the child be '2” exclaim- ed her mother, and there was a vague alarm, even then, in her question. “ She cannot have gone far, I have been here such a short time.” “ Two hours," said her mother, “just two hours since I last saw the shine of her dance- ing yellow curlsâ€"for she won’t wear her bonnet. \Ve can see so far. You look slowly in every direction, and I will do the same. Even the dog has disappeared; he is no doubt with her.” But look as they would, long and steadily not a glimpse of the little one could be seer. “ She is lost !” gasped the mother. “Oh! what will her father say? She is lost on the plains ! Iâ€"oh ! how could I forget her !” And then saying tearfully to her caller that she would soon be back, she flew in the direction of her husband. It was a long run, and panting, almost ready to faint, she paused at last at his side. “ Gretchen 1" she wailed. "What of my Gretchen ?” he asked, stern- ly, for the baby was the apple of his eye, and he had more than once chided his wife for her apparent carelessness. . “Gone! \Vandcred away! Lost !” “Lost on the prairie, and the sun not two hours high! Run on down to Smith’s ; get help. “'0 must scour the plains before night- fall. My poor little darling 2” He had detached the horscs from the plow as he spoke, and mounting one motioned his wife to mount. the other, and he was offin the direction of another neighbor, always keeping a sharp eye on the outlook for his baby. “l‘lowzer is with her,” he thought, “ he willbe some protection, and may lead us to her.” It was perhaps a good hour before any- thing like a party was formed, and started in different directions, and the sun was, by this time, creeping for down toward the western horizon. “Gretchen! Gretchen!” they but no baby voice answered. “We must find her before dark,” cried the half-frantic father. But the sun hid its glowing face, and the stars came slowly out one by one, and nothing had, been discovered. “ She will perish before morning,” sobbcd her mother; “the nights are cool, almost cold, and she had on only a little slip; and some wild animal may find her. 0 baby ! baby lq - The long night passed, no one had slept. 'l'hcrchud been a flash of lanterns far and near for many miles; for the searching party become larger and larger as the news spread. Mothers hugged their own little ones and said to husbands and sons, “ Go 3" and with their own hands cleaned and filled lanterns and fire-urmsâ€"for three shots were to be fired when the little one was found, living or dead; though they whis red the last word for fear it might reac i the ears of father or mother. Mornin ' dawned bright and clear, and with a ( oggcd perseverluice all kept on with the search, tired and hungry though they were. ‘ “ “'0 must find her," said her whitefaccd father, “ where could her little feet have carried her that we cannot overtake them '1" The noon hour passed, a few kind neigh- bors sent out a cold lunch for the wearied party, night came again, and as yet no little Gretchen. The mother was lost in despair. “She is dead,” she said, “my prett ' little one; born near the home of my gir - hood. She will never be found alive now, in all the chill ni'ht, without water or food. 0h ! if I could ut- die. too!” "Nay." expostulated a friend, “thou art wicked so to speak, thou hast thy husband, live to comfort himâ€"and the baby may yet be found.” But when the third day of the search came, and found them still with no word or tidin , even the bravest were disheartened. “ ‘Iise has reached the distant river," they said: "in trying to get to the water. perhaps she fell over the steep, shelving bank, and was drowned. “But the dog?" “He will doubtless remain near where she has disappeared. orâ€"what can have be. come of her otherwise. ':" No one could answer. "You have been kind. friendS." said, the father, in his broken English, which was now most pathetic, “but I will not ask you to spend longer time in the Search. As for me, I shall kee on until I find her or some tidings of her. ake my wife back with you, she is ill and worn out." Women wept over the story, men felt their eyes grow dim, and a few kept on with the search in an unobtrusive Way, saying, as had the father: called, "V‘Ve must find her.’I And the days came and went until two weeks had , and only two persons now were still looking for the poor httle baby. Those two were her father and neighbor lad, a stupid German boy who had particularly loved little Gretchen. They were following the course of the river, perha five miles from home, when very suddenly: the boy gave a about that caused his companion to pause quickly. “\Vhat is it ‘3” he cried, huskily, “her I dress, orâ€"” For answer the lad pointed far out over the rairie. “ \‘hat is it! I see noth .” But the stupid fellow co d not answer, save by wild, almost hysterical gestures at first, then a sudden spring forward, and he was off in the direction in which he had pointed. The anxious father followed him as swiftly as possible, to find him at last in a slight de~ pression of the round, with his arms about the neck of old wzer. Yes, Bowzer beyond a doubt, and neither starved nor dead, but decidedly comfortable and overjoyed at meeting them. “Gretchen !" said the father, in trembling tones. “Where is your little mistress ‘.'” Bowzer could not talk, he frisked and jumped about, but, alas! not a question I could he answer. "Wait!" said the boy, then he turned to the do whistled and started in the direc- tion of mine. The d bounded to his side“ and then as suddenly stood still. “Come on 1” said the boy, “let us go home.” But the dog refused to obey his commands though the great yellow eyes seemed to burn with eagerness. “Come on 2” still sternly said the lad giving him a sharp kick. ' \Vith a howl the dog ran off and turned his head in a certain direction. " She is - that way,” said the lad. “ Come l’ The father followed blindly, he did not comprehend, he felt that perhaps he was about to look upon her wasted form, what idea the boy held he could not understand. But they passed swiftly along, the dog trotting by their side contentcdly. Not un- til quite at its door were either aware of a house, and such a funny house as it was. l Nature had given a. slight knoll to this part; of the prairie and a dug-out had been built I' in it. A very comfortable house enough, sometimes, and one many a. hardly pushed homesteader has been compelled to live in for a time. The lad pounded loudly upon the low, wooden door, a look upon his face that set the father’s heart heating with a wild, new hope. “ Come in l” said a rough voice. The door was flung open and revealed one small dark chamber, in shocking disorder, as if kept by a man ; but seated upon the floor (dint, fat and rosy as'evcr, was Gretchen. “My baby ! mylittle one I” said the father, in wild ecstasy, as he hugged her to his heart. while the boy who had so helped in finding her, stood on his head for one su- preme moment of intense happiness. A. man unshorn, in careless attire, danced up from a book he was reading. e had heard the words of the father, but; as they were spoken in German, only understood their meaning by the scene before i. m. “ So, the little one has at last found her father. I do not understand her tongue, and could not even make out her name.” ” But how came she here '3” “ She “ its crying on the prairie late one night. I heard her and the bark- of her dog. I brought them both home with me and have tried to make them comfortable.” The poor father tried to thank him, but failed, he only looked up toward heaven and grasped his hand. Then they started joyfully liomeward. What a glorious reunion that was, though the mother cried and cried. And the good neighbors one and all flocked in to hear the wonderful story. “ How came it her rescuer never heard about her being‘lost '3" asked some one. “ Oh ! he is a queer old chap, a recluse, and lives so much alone and in such a queer way no one ever even remembered to ask him.” pelled to shelter and care for her. Almost every day he came to see her, and taught her good English. Not only that, but as the years crept on he taught her many other things ; and she became a charming 'irl, well read, gentle bred, and quite fittm to possess the small fortune her god-father, as be termed himself, left her at his death. But she was never lost again, the whole country saw to that, and particularly the good father and mother who watched over her with such zealous care ; the yellow curls were seldom out of their sight until she became old enough to know the dangers on the plainsâ€"Arthur's Home .llaga:inc. Gentlemanliness. gum: Quantum. Tooth Powdels and Tooth Washes. Powders and washes for the teeth should be used with t care. Regarding them, especially, t well-worn but pertinent caution to beware of strolling venders ap- plies with deepestim 'rt. Every one has a desire for white and utiful teeth, turd the itinerant who boasts loudly of the power of his preparations to “whiten the blackest teet , to look like ivory in one minute !" catches the popular ear and sympath on the spot. There is nothing remarkabli: in the fact that what he claims can be demon- strated. Any chemist or apothecary can concoct a preparation which will do all this â€"and more. If used but a short time it will destroy the enamel, and with it, of course, the entire set of teeth; since the phenomenal result is and can be reached only y the destruction of a small portion of the outer surface of the enamel. The result is the same whether the agent bc wash or powder, since the latter simply contains the chemicals of the former in an undissolved form. All strong acids or alkalis should be avoided in the mouth, and if there is doubt as to the composition of any preparation in this respect, let it be tested with a bit of litmus per. This aper can be obtained at any ( u store, and is in two colors-blue and red. e blue, if dampened with an acid solution, will turn red, and the rapid- ity and intensity of the change will indicate the acidity of the solution. The red indi- cates alkali by changing to blue, in the same manner. Tooth-powders, as a rule, should be soluâ€" ble and slightly antacid. There is a class of insoluble powders which are of the most dangerous nature, of which powdered char- coal is anotable example. These consist of fine, sharp particles, which being pressed by the brush between the teeth and gums or lodging between the teeth, may cause the most serious results, even to the destruction of the gums or the cement. The use of the brush in connection with powders, washes, or other treatment of the teeth, should be gentie. Bleeding of the gums is always a danger signal. It shows that the skin has been broken, inviting the absorption into the system of any poisonous or foreign mat- ters which may be present in the mouth. If the gums are very tender, a soft brush should be used, and used very gently, till they have hardened sufficiently to withstand more vigorous treatment. Even then, the liability will be to err on the side of harsh- ness. The Art of Prolonging Life. Exercise is essential to the preservation of health ; inactivity is a potent cause of waSt- ing and degeneration. The vigor and equal- ity of the circulation, the functions of the skin, and the aeration of the blood, are all promoted by muscular activity, which thus keeps u a proper balance and relation be- tween t is important organs of the body. In youth, the vigor of the system is often so great that if one organ be sluggish another part will make amends for the deficiency by acting vicariously, and without any conse- quent damage to itself. In old age, the task cannot; thus be shifted from one organ to an- other ;tho work allotted to each sufficiently taxes strength, and vicarious action cztlllmt be performed without mischief. Hence the importance of maintaining, as far as possi- ble, the equablc action of all the bodily organs, so that the share of the vital pro- cesses assigned to each shall be properly ac- complished. For this reason exercise is an important part of the conduct of life in old age ; but discretion is absolutely necessary. An old man should discover by experience how much exercise he can take without cx‘ hausting his powers, and should be careful never to exceed the limit. Old persons are apt to forget that their staying powers are much less than they once were, and that, while a walk of two or three miles may prove easy and pleasurable, the addition of the re- turn journcy of similar length will seriously overtax the strength. Born-Blindness Preventable. Ophthalmological Society of the United Kingdom, show that at least thirty per cent. of all blindness in Europe and in this coun- try is caused by preventable disease atbirth. The census of 1880 gives a total of about fifty thousand blind in the United States. Of these, at least fifteen thousand have been blind from birth. And yet, this disease is well nigh absolutely preventable, and in its incipicncy, easily curable. This statement is borne out by facts, as will be seen by re- ference to the reports of the large lying-in hospitals, where the methods of prevention havcbccninoperation. After-thesemcsnswcrc put into operation, there was practically an entire disappearance of the disease. The meth- od consists in wiping the face and lids clean and dry immediately after the umbilical cord is tied The lids are then,opencd, and one or two drops of a two per cent. solution of hair is not revented by thorough brushing, some stimu tin application may be made. Half an ounce o the tincture of cantharides added to a quart of lay rum will answer better than most “hair tonicsx" But the mode of dressin the hair mustbe controlled almost entirely iy the fashion. It will be considered by many of our lady readers a necessity to dress the hair in the fashion of the moment, but we should endeavor to counteract, by careful treatment, any injurious effects, such as overheating of the scalp, which' produces dandruff, irritation, and possible baldness. “’hatever style is . adopted during the day and evening, the | air should be given the utmost freedom l during the night. All cannot emplo artists ’to direct the efforts of‘thb hair-t tossing maid, but every one can see to it that simpli~ city and an appropriate ensemble are pre- sented. Nothing is more unseeml than to see a noble, dignified face marrer , and its true beauty destroyed by some coquettish or frivolous arrangement of the hair wholly out of keeping with the general bearing of the wearer. Fortunately, the custom of the hour de- mands that the short-comings of one head shall be supplied by some other head, and from this necessity has grown up the present great trade in human hair. It is estimated that more than a million pounds of human hair is annually marketed, to say nothing of the product of the home market, which finds its su ply largely through the periodical craze or “short hair,” which some women experience, when the product of the barber‘s shears generally finds its way to other fields of adornment. The Solomon Islands. > It is more than three centuries since the Spaniards discovered the Solomon Islands, i one of the large Pacific groups. The most | detailed account of that expedition has ncvo or been published. It is the journal of Gomez Catoira, the chief purscr of the fleet, and a translation of the manuscript was recently made for Mr. “"oodford upon his third visit to the Solomon Islands. He has just return- ed to England from his latest explorations, during which he followed the track of the Spanish ships through the long chain of is- lands, and was able satisfactorily to identify almost every place visited by the Spaniardd He found the coasts so minutely describeg that he had little difficulty in identif 'in. even the anchoring places of Spanish f set. It is an interesting revelation of the islands as they Were 300 years ago. Some places then described as having quite a large popu- lation are now found to be without in- habitants, the people having been exter- minated by head-hunting ex editions. It is very interesting, also. to fin that on islands where new dialects are found ever ten or fifteen miles, \Voodford has been . le iden- tify words recorded by the Spaniards at the places where they heard them. If Columbus had kept his records in a painstaking and methodical manner like old Gomez Cat-oira, the world would have been spared the long and still unscttled contro- versy as to where he first landed in the \Vestern \Vorld. If his efficiency as a navi- gator had not greatly exceeded his descrip- tive talents the discovery of the New \Vorld would probably have been left for some later explorer. His statements are often obscure, , parts of his journal cannot. be rcconcilfit‘hvith other portions, and hc is very sparing of de- tails and makes statements that are irrecon- cilable with the present topography of thc Bahamas. It seems most likely that Wat- ling Island was the first land he diScovcrcd but the question will probably never be con- clusively settled. ' Target Practice on Board a Man-ofâ€"War. Tclegraphing from Bantry Bay, a corres- pondent with the Iron Duke says :â€"At the time of writing the official returns of the shooting have just been made up, and they show that the same number of shots were fired in just half the time occupied on the previous day, with a considerable improve- ment as to scoring. During the firing I stood on the spar deck, and when one of the big guns in the upper battery, which is im- mediately beneath, belchcd forth its smoke, and flame, and shot, the effect was tremend- ous. There was a distinct upheaval of the ing too close to the rail, I received so sharp a crack upon the drum of either car as to . cause me severe pain. This was my own, fault, forI had neglected to take the pre- caution of placing cotton in my cars. On board a man-o’-war every man and boy has his particular duty to perform in time of aztion, and during target practice everyone must be at his post. Down in the stccrnge the surgeon is ready to receive the wounded, the chaplain is standing by him to assist in binding up wounds or to administer spirit- ual consolation to the mortally injured.

In the midwinter of 1879, had occasion to visit the chief camp of the Little Medan-asks. Coming from the city, and to a camp where I was a stranger to all the men, I was not unnaturally regarded as a pronouncedspeci- men of the green here. I took no ‘ns to 'tell any one whatthebossalreadywe 1 new, that is, that I had been a froquenter of the camps from my be hand. Many and many a neat trap was aid for my apparently “ tender" feet, but I avoided them all as if by accident. As for climbing a tree, I always laughed at the idea when it was pro d to me. I always suggested that it of t spoil my clothes. Before long the men, by putting little things together, some to the conclu- sion that I was an old stager ; and, rather sheepishly, they ve over their attempts to eutrap me. Then graciousl waved my hand as it were, and was frank y received as a veteran, cleared from every suspicion of be- ing green. At last the da came when I did wish to climb a tree. T e camp was on a high pla- teau, and not far 03' towered a magnificent pine tree, growing out of the summit of a knoll in such a way as to command all the surrounding country. Its branches were [phenomena ly thick ; its girth of trunk was magnificent. And this tree I resolved one day to climb, in order to get a clear idea of the lay of the land. Of course I strolled ofi surreptitiously, and, as I thought, un- watched. But there I was much mistaken. No sooner was I two~thirds of the way up the tree than, with shouts of laughter, the lumbermen rushed out of the surrounding cover and proceeded to chop me down. The chance was too good for them to lose. I concealed my annoyance. and made no attempt to descend. On the contrary I I thanked them for the little attention, climb- ed a few feet further up, to secures position which I saw would be a safe one formewhcn the tree should fall. AsI did so, I erceived, with a gasp and a tremor, that alone in the tree. There, not ten feet above me, stretched at full length along a large branch, was a huge panther, glaring with rage and terror. From the men below his form was quite concealed. Glancing restlessly from me to my pursuers, the brute seemed uncertain just what to do. As I carefully refrained from climbing any further up, and tried to assume an air of not having observed him, licnpparcntly conclud- ed that I was not his worst enemy. In fact, I dare say he understood what was oing on and realized that he and I were fel ow-suf- ferers. I laughed softly to myself as I thought how my tormentors would be taken aback when that nthcr should come do“ n among them. I ( ccided that, considering their numbers, there would be at least no more danger for them than that which they were exposing me in their reckless fooling. And, I already influenced by that touch of nature was not; which makes us so wondrous kind, I bcgan l to hope that the panther would succeed in making his escape. The trunk of the pine was so thick that I , might almost have reached the ground bc- l fore the choppers could cut it through. At last it gave a mighty shudder and suggcd to one side. I balanced myself nimny on the upper side, steadying myself by aconvenicnt branch. The great mass of foliage, present- ing a wide surface to the air, made the full ‘ a comparatively slow one ; but the tremen- i dons sweep of the draught upward, as tho- I tree-top described its gigantic luc, gave me I a sickening sensation. vThen came the final (lull and thunderous crashâ€"in an instant, I found myself standing in my place. jarred but unhurt, with the snow thrcshcd up all about me. The next instant there was another roar, or rather a sort of screaming ycll, over- whelming the riotous laughter of the Woods- men : and out of the confusion of pine- boughs shot the tawny form of the panther in a whirlwind of fury. One of the chop- crs was in his path, and was bowled over Fike n clumsy nine-pin. The next bound brought the beast on to the backs of a yoke of oxen, and his cruel claws severely scratch- ed the oxen’s necks. As the poor animals bellowed and fell on their knees, thc panther paused, with some idea, apparently, 0:, mcnt, rushed with their axes to the rescue of the oxen, the panther saw that the odds- : were all agninsthim. He turned half round ; and greeted his enemies with one terrific and I strident snarl, thcn bounded of? into the l forest at a pace which made it idle to lur- l sue him.
