Pare core and grate the apples. Stir butter Atmdfies Committed by Bandits Gunilla ' the Great Wall. Massacres by Wholesaleâ€"diets Imprisoned and Burned to Deathâ€"The Tcrrlhl" Revenge of the "letorlou Chinese Army. - Eyewitnesses of the su pression of the re- cent revolt in Manchuria ave reached Shau- gliai, and the steamer China brought letters giving a vivid picture of horrors such as haven’t been known since the Mahdi cap- tured Khartoum. Last spring the bandits who roam over the country just outside the great wall of China joined forces and enter- ed upon a. regular campaign of lander. They were armed with repeating ri es, and, being mainly composed of proscribed Chinese criminals, fought desperately and defeated all local troops sent against them. Some of the large bands were led by Buddhist priests. One of the most famous of these priestly inarauders was Han Chan Chung, lately kil- ed in an engagement with the Viceroy Li’s troops at Mo Wo Kun, about 200 miles northeast of J eliol. It was he, in company with another mem- ber of the church militant, who led the atv tack on the large city of Cho Yang when it was captured in November. On that occa- sion, which was the most important incident in the rebellion, the rebels mustered a force of some 3,000 men. Twenty or thirty or- dinary bands joined together for the occa- sion.. Horrible atrocities were perpetrated by these desperadoes, who showed unusual daring and ferocity. Eyewitnesses tell of the massacre of almost entire villages, the bufning alive of children, the brutal treat- ment of women, and the carrying off to everything from the houses of the wretched people. ' ‘ In a large Manchu village in the J eliol dis- trict 500 marauders swooped down in the usefulness and the training of her children. For the farmer’s wife there is always an excess of work, but by careful management and by the employment of labor-saving iii- vcntions, the additional cost of which will be but a few dollars, many a restful hour will be found that would otherwise have been an utter impossibility. If however, the dollars are not forthcoming with which to purchase the luxurious utensils, it naturally follows that you must do the next best thingâ€"bring constant thought to bear on your work and you will soon find many ways to alleviate the toil attending house~ keeping and kitchen work. For example, in the every-day work of preparing vegetables for dinner, it is far less fatiguing to sit than to stand. Have for the purpose a rather high stool. When preparing a meal it will facilitate disliwasliing if water is poured into the cooking utensils immediately after the con- tents lisve been removed. If the vessels are very greasy, add a little concentrated lye, ‘ pearline or soda. A home-made dish-drainer is very use- ful, and one is very easily made from a leaky tin pan of convenient size, by punctur- ing a number of small holes in the bottom with an owl. If there is no sewer leading from the kitchen sink, it will save the housewife many steps if the swill-pails are brought inside. They should be nicely painted, and a piece of oil-cloth provided to set them on. The kitchen and pantry floors, if uncarpet- ed, should be painted sonic pretty, light color; yellow or pink are colors will show soiling least. The 'dark shades are not ad- visable. ,If you cannot conveniently get the paint, two coats of linseed-oil will more than repay you for the small outlay ; bc- sides, it will preserve your floors. It seems wrong to wear yourself out scrubbing when oil and paint are so cheap. An article worth many times its cost to the overwork- ed housewife, yet often condemned under the false impression that it is injurious to carpets, is the carpet-sweeper. Many house- wives sweep daily with the broom when the usclof a carpet-sweeper would rciidcr a. thorough sweeping necessary but oncen week. Every housewife ‘knows how much hard work is involved in the washing of bed- clotlics, but everyone may not know that a deep facing of some dark calico applied to the ends of comforts and quilts makes so much work unnecessary, The facing may be removed and washed and returned to its place. A day or two of good airing will purify the comforts. A sli ) of cheese-cloth or muslin over the feather- ml or inatti‘csss would save much work, as it is easily removed when soiled. The watchful, intelligent mother will find many ways to lighten licrburdeu, and where on article seems really necessary to her preservation, it seems little short of cruelty to deprive her of it. Her city sisters, though they may not- posscss one tenth as much of this world’s goods as does she, are not slow to procure the things that will make life more pleasurable and easy. I know from observation that the dread of parting with a few dollars is the cause of many ,iiurmei's' wives loading lives that are very closely allied to slavery. Dear mothers, this is all wrong.

It is l-‘eurcd that. being Dangerous, it “11 have to come dawn. A committee appointed to report on the famous Torre Nuova in the‘l’laza San Filipe lin the capital of Aragon, has issued a pessi- . mistic account. It is feared that this clock towerâ€"a. very fine example of the kindâ€"will have to be pulled down. Excessive rains and floods have caused a subsidence of soil and the structure is deemed unsafe. . The construction of this leaning tower was , begun in the fifteenth century, under the direction of two Spanish, one Jewish and two Moorish architects. It is octagonal in i form, 300 feet high, 45 in diameter, and leans about 10 feet out of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 260 in number, lead inside to the top gallery; whence it nnignificcnt and beautiful view is obtained over the city itself, the fer- tile plains of Aritgan, watered by the rapid- i flowing Ebro, and away to the north where . the Pyrenees are seen. The edifice, built of bricks, has at a dis- l mace a Moorish aspect, the face of the struc- , ture being diapered with brickwork, but itlie design and execution are much coarser ,tlian are generally seen in purely Moorish 'buildings; the various windows, galleries, buttiements and turrets, together with de- .signs partly Byzantine, partly Arabesque, demonstrates its mixed architecture. it has been stated that tile leaning of the {tower was due to the capricc of tho archi- ’ teats, but an old crack in its side and neare- , ful examination of the foundation led to the :couclusiou that if; was want of care on the part of the builders. The Aragonesc speak of the ancient; crack as an old wound in 'its side of which the Torre Nuova is now (lying. I This “ old wound ” was under treatment in the year 1860, but an unfortunate relapse- threatens to result in an entire collapse. A Cruise of Revenue. II. M. warship Royalist, after bombard- ; ing several natives villages and shooting [some natives, is reported by mail advices to l have returned to Port. Jackson, with sever- ;al members of her crew down with the iii- i fluenza. The Royalist had the yellow flag ' flying on arrival, showing that she had sickness on board. The disease was con- tracted as the steamer was at Suva. ing the progress of the expedition Captain Davis found it necessary to land armed lparties to proceed up to the haunts of the Dur- 2 night, captured all whom they did not kill outright, carried off all the women, and then put sixty men in a. corn storehouse, securely fastening the doors, after which they set the building on fire, while the terrified children and the few women, who had escaped into the surrounding hills, could hear the shrieks of the fathers, husbands, and brothers as they were being burned alive. This village was Kutuliin, in the J eliol prefecture. It is only one of a. dozen such incidents. The rebels are not particular whether they destroy Christian or heathen villages so long as they get plunder. They generally indulge in peculiar and revolting dcviltry when their wretched victims are known to be friends of the religion of the Foreign Devils, and they have gone great distances to wreak their ven- geance upon professors of the \Vestern faith. At a place called Talijow, which has been Christian for two centuries, they massacred nine Chinese Sisters or nuns and burned an orphanage with its sixty little inmates. Such amusements as piercing the bodies of victims with heated bayoncts and spears, gouging out eyes, disembowelling, or burying alive can be heard of whenever these outlaws have passed. One hand is said to bc.led by an Amazon who rides astride like a. man, and is reputed to drink blood to maintain her courage. Li Hung Chung takes the credit. for promptly suppressing the revolt, but it was really the extreme cold which settled the rebellion. The robbers couldn’t endure campaigning in wintry weather, and they retired to their fastncsses in the hills. Their power is broken, however, and spring will not see them on the warpath again. The imperial troops showed no mercy to the :onquercd rebels. Many prisoners were taken, and the punishment meted out to re- bels was of a most revolting character, and executions were conducted on a wholesale scale. Men were beheaded in hundreds and and entire trunks of trees were utilized as blocks along which the prisoners were rang- ed in lines, and their executioners simply mowed off their heads when the signal was given. Generally in China. condemned per- sons are ranged in small knots kneeling be- fore the executioner, but here the wretched miscreants were too numerous for the usual rules to be observed, and they were seized by the queues of soldiers from the other side ' of the improvised blocks and their heads lopped all. They were not even tied. The heads were hung in long row on poles as a. warning to others, and in a. very shout time the intense cold froze the bodies stiff, but; not before the camp followers had strip- ped them of clothing.

Benjamin Piper, an old pioneer of Hubble- ton, \Vis., had a thrilling adventure with a pack of wolves that is highly interesting. It was one evening while he was makin his way home from Watcrtown on foot. T ere wassnow on the ground, and it had lasted long enough to make wolves unusually fierce and savage \vitli- hunger. Piper had been warned by friends in Watcrtown not to at. tempt the trip, but he told them that he had not the slightest fears of danger, as he was a very courageous individual and feared nothing, and only laughed at his friends for intimating any danger. “ N ary wild animal in Wisconsin cares to tackle me,” was Piper‘s ejaculation, “ and they couldn’t git away with a whole hide in their boots if they did.” So Piper started, and was soon trudging along the lonesome forest high- way, neither listening nor caring for the many strange sounds that most of persons would have noticed. Numerous largo tini- ber wolves had been seen that fall and winter near these same forests through which Piper had to pass, but as they had not yet ventured to attack my one, little attention had been paid to their presence. But now, in their desperate state of hunger and while lurking about for somethin to prey upon, some one or more of them had discovered Piper, and at once set- up a bowl for its companions. . But Piper was utterly indifferent to their bowls, and walked boldly along, though not increasing his regular speed. But suddenly, just as he_ turned a sharp corner of the road way among the dense timber, a large gray wolf walked across the road slowly and dc. liberately about two rods ahead of him, and then turned and leisurely recrossed to the side from where it came, swinging its tail aloft in a scornful manner and with the hair raised on its neck, indicating an air of stack to defense, as occasion might offer. It also howled in a dismal manner, as if tohurry up its companions, and whose answers now began to come from many directions. Piper, though he did not like the animal’s gesticnla- ions, yet failed to realize that there was any real danger in the appearance of the wolf, but marched straight ahead asif noth- ing had happened, save that he picked up a good-sized club, intending to throw it: at the animal should it approach him again. A moment later the same wolf trotted out from the brush much nearer to him than be- fore, and Piper hurled the club at the animal with tremendous force. But quickly step- pingfo one side and dodging the weapon, the wolf planted itself in the middle of the roadway and was not disposed to move any further, but showed its teeth savagely and uttered more bowls for its companions. Piper now began to get frightened, yet still be exhibited no signs of cowardice, but gathered sticks and stones, and hurled them at the wolf until’it was glad to get out of his way and let him proceed. But he knew from the sounds still coming behind him that a. pack of the animals was on his trail and he would need to make haste or they would soon overtake him. He was a strong man very fleet of foot, but he had no ex- pectation of winning against a lot of wolves in a foot-race, should they determine to pursue him. So he concluded that he must at once bring all his wits into play and, if possible, deceive them. The forest trees around him were rather small to climb and be safe among their branches, and he did not relish the idea of being kept up in a tree all night in such cold weather, as he might freeze to death and thus fall a. prey to the animals. The desperatencss of the situation called to his mind it singular cave containing two uni-row openings, and he concluded that it might afford him protection and give him a chance to defend himself. So away he hurried for the cave. It was now long after dusk, but the moon shown bright- ly, yet owing to the shadows of the trees Piper ex erienccd considerable difficulty in finding t to entrance to the cavern. Before crawling into the narrow passageway lie so cured a large, heavy club to use should the wolves attempt to follow him into his re- treat. He was scarcely a. half a dozen feet inside ere he heard their horrible howls near the entrance, and a moment later he saw their eyes like balls of fire glaring on him from the outside. At first they seemed disinclined to follow after him, apparently fearing a trap, but finally the boldest one started inside, and then all squeezed themselves into the open- ing until it was jammed tight. As the forward wolf came within his reach, Piper pounded it with his club until 'it was utterly disabled, but the great pres- sure of those from behind constantly brought the heads of others nearer and nearer, yet. Piper never stopped fighting. but whacked and boat and gouged and disabled wolf after wolf as they came within reach. But at length the entrance became so perfectly filled with wolves that they could neither get for- ward norbackward, while their savage bowls resoundcd in the narrow place with such deafening effect that it made Piper tremble and become panicky, so thutliis sole thought was to get out and away from them. Grop- ing around with his hands he found some good-sized loose stones, with which he, hastily filled in the opening just in front of the wolves us tightly as he could pack it and then, with club in hand, he crawled along and sought exit at the opposite en- trance to the cavern. The dismal darkness I QUEER WILD FOLKS IN BRAZIL. Facts About the Savage Rotunda and Their Interesting Ways. " The Botocudos of Brazil are among the most- interesting savages in the world,’ said an otlinologist. " Although other wild peo- ple in various parts of the world distond their lips and ears with wooden plugs for ornamental purposes, Indians of this race carry such practices to an unpaialleled ex~ treme. The piercing of the flesh for this object is performed when the child is about seven years of age, a sharp spine from a kind of palm being used as a surgical instru- ment. Ogonings having thus been made in the lower ip and lobe of each car hits of wood are inserted to keep them from lioal‘ ing, bigger and bigger pieces being substi- tuted until the lugs attain a diameter some- times of as muc as four inches. These plugs are cut from a tree which furnishes a wood quite as light- as cork and of a white color. They are three quarters of an inch thick. ” l‘lie wooden disk in the lip is worn most of the time, but is from time to time, remov- ed, when the lip hangs in a hideous loop of flesh against the chin, lookin like a great worm, and displaying the teet i in a horrible grin. Ordinarily the pressure of the plug against the lower front teeth pushes them out of place and causes them to fall out, thus adding to the unpleasant effect. When the plug is in position, the features being in repose, it is carried horizontally, a smile causing it to touch the tip of the nose. In quarrels the perforated ears and lips are apt .to suffer, and it is no uncommon thin to see them broken. When such an accident occurs the severed parts are tied together, and the plug is replaced. More often than not the ear disks are not worn, and the loops of flesh are left dangling, sometimes reach- ing to the shoulders. In travelling through the forest such loops would be likely to catch upon bouglis of trees, so they are often turned up and hung over the ears for con- veniciice. “ The color of the Botocudos is a light yellowish brown. It has been said that they are capable of blushing occasionally, which would seem to be an accomplishment worth having, inasmuch as both sexes com- monly go stark naked. “’hen brought into contact With Europeans they manifest not the slightest embarrassment on account of their. lack of clothing, however. From certain seeds and fruits they obtain brilliant dyes, with which they adorn their bodies. There is no set style, the method of paint- ing the. person varying with the taste of the individual. A favorite fashion is to paint the face above the mouth a bright red, the upper half of the body being stained black and red stripes encircling the waist. A_ new warrior thus decor- ated, With lip and cor ornaments, presents a most ‘ . demoniacol expression. Tnc colors employed are mixed in the upper shell of a turtle, and are carried in joints of the bamboo. \thnat work on plantations belonging to the whites the men often tic it shirt by the arms around the waist, letting the body hang down in front. They are never seen to wear such a garment other ’wisc. The women adopt a. tattered skirt. But these articles of apparel are immediate- ly discarded as soon as they return to the forest, where they roam about without even a fig leaf apiece to cover themselves with. ” The arms of the Botocudo consist of the I bow and arrow. His bow is made from . the wood of the airi palm, from five to seven I feet in length, and so heavy and strong that I no other man can bend it. The arrows are 3 six feet long, with shafts of strong niidlight ‘ reeds, tipped for use in war with u. javclin- lide head made from the side of a joint of bamboo. This head, which is convex on one side and concave on the other, is sharpened ‘ to a. long point, the edge being rendered as - keen as it knife. Such arrows are employed i also in the chase of- the tupir. They are ! plumcd with the feather of It large bird. i The wounds they make are terrible and ! particularly dangerous, because of the con- ‘ cave shape of the arrow head, which facili~. I tatcs bleeding. “ For birds and small game the savages utilize arrows with blunt points, which shut the prey, but do not tear it. They capture 1 small lizards with these weapons. For call- ! ing one another in the forest they have speaking trumpets made from the skin of the tail of the great armadillo. While trit~ yelling through the woods they build for themselves temporary shelters of palm leaves, sticking the stems info the ground in a half circle, so that the tips of the fronds arch together and form a sort of roof. When encamping for a considerable time in one , place they construct houses often big enough to hold several families. The furnishing of l a. Botocuda cabin is extremely simple, beds , being made from bark fibre and the fire bc- l ing in the middle of the dwelling. Gourds are used for drinking purposes and in the preparation of food. ' , “ The llotocudos are particularly fond of the flesh of monkeys, but they always sub- sist upon ant enters, aligators, and boa. con- strictors. Fish they usually shoot with small bows. which they use with great dex- terity ; but sometimes they employupoisou- ous root, which, put into the water, soon brings the fish to the surface.

The Vienna pa rs contain an account of a cunning trick p ayed the other day upon a Post Office official. The postilion of a mail cart was on his way from the chief office to the postal department at Kniscr-Ebersdorff, when he was met by a person wearing the uniform of a postman. The man informed the postilion that he was sent for some bags he was carrying. and proceeded with the greatest mug fluid to unlock a compartment. He took out three bags which containedlet- tors and notes and gold to the value of ‘20,- }000 golden. The man then made off and the postilion u out on to Ksiser-Ebersdortf. The latter was an old servant, and well knew that he ought not to t with any portion of his charge save at t c official depot. He was immediately placed under arrest. [The cruise of the [loyalist extended over scene which she had had with him, and beg- ging him to give his son permission to ac- company her to her last home. This was at nine o’clock in the evening, and the cpistlc being finished, the girl took it with her and drove to the Rue de'Jcan-Goujon. where her friend’s father lives. She gave the letter to her coachmnn, telling him to take it up- stairs to the person for whom it was intend- cd.

He now made his way to there road again, and two hours later had reached home.
