The “Consumption. Plant."
The natural history of the bacillus is
very instructive. It never grows spon-
taneously outside of an animal body. It
requires a temperature between 85 and
dim! degrees Fahrenheit in oiflcr ~to de-
velop it at all. It must remain full ten
days in a moist situation at the temperas
lure above stated before it shows any
tendency to increase or even fix itself in
its, proper soil. The heat of. bailing
' wster destroys the plant and its seeds
(sporesi, but cold does not kill them.
From a consitlerat'on of these facts- it
may easily be seen how it is possible for
isolated )opulstions to escape the rava~

gown, with all my trusses in wet rst~tsils
about my shoulders, and a towel in my
hand, when there came s tremendous
ring at the front-door bell.
We were in the dining-room, I must
tell you, and there was no fire in the
drawingsroom.
The peal had hardly died away, when
we heard heavy footsteps, and Sarah‘s
voice, in sprightly tones of welcome,
saying:
“Oh, yes mum! She‘s at home!“
I gave one glance of agony at Lizzie,
and then sprang wildly into a large cups
board where we kept jam and news-
papers, and drew the door to after me.
In this cupboard was another door
opening into the surgery. and my idea
had been to escape through it and up
the back stairs, then, after a few minutes
spent on a hurried toilet, I could de-
scend gracefullyattircd. During those
few minutes Lizzie would entertain the
visitors.
Imagine my horror when I found the
door of exit locked. while, oh! dismal

the Jerry Winterbottoms, before whom I
'could not appear in my eccentric cos-

”AN APACHE "RAID..—~
NINE mourns onetime: one.

The White Men‘s Brave Defbnso—
l‘ho Redskins Hastily “'itb-
draw After Losing Three
Out of‘ Their Number.
A recent letter from Tucson, Arizona,
to the New York Sun says: Old Jetf
Sampson, whose ranch was in the track
taken by the last gang of renegade
‘ Apaches, came into town this week,
thereby provimr that the general belief
that his hair ha been raised on the raid
. was unfounded.
I Jeff oscxped the red raiders, but he had
> I close call. In fact. he came in to have
on Apache bullet dugout of his thigh.
'lie did not know the Indians were off
the reservation. and their appearance in
the vicinity of his ranch was a surprise.
He and a man named Watkins were out
looking after cattle one morning when
tlicy‘saw nine Apaches come out of an
; arm :1 upon the mesa not more than five
3 bun red yards away. It required but one
glance to satisfy .letI that the rcdskins
were out for mischief and as there was
no cover behind which to fight with any
chance of avoiding their bullets. he yelled
l
his heels into his broncho‘s flanks. The
, Apaches yelled and followed, and a race
i for life began.
Sam pson‘s‘ranch is an adobe house, sur- ‘
; rounded by a stoe‘kadc corral, andE: once
inside he could stand 03 a bigger baud
l of Indians than the one at his heels. It
i was five miles to the corral, and the white
I men‘s horses were not in the best condi-
. tion for such a race. The Indian ponies
gained on them gradually, and as the
range decreased. the A pachcs opened fire.
| But they could not shoot uccuratclv. and
til, when within s mile of the ranch. is
I chance shot caught Watkins between the
shoulder blades, and he pitched from
the saddle dead.
Sampson pulled up long enough to see
- whether Watkins was merely wounded
and disabled, intending to help him in if
possible. or to put a merciful bullet
past help and liable to live long enough
to be tortured. “'hen‘ he saw that Wat-
kins was dead, he resumed his flight,
but the Apaches had gained on him dur-
ing his delay, and, when within fifty
vards of the corral, a ball broke one of
is horse‘s legs, and he had to jump from
the saddle and run for his life. He
reached the Stockade, sprang inside, and
a swung the gate to its place, but a bullet
tin before the gate was closed and
uricd itself in his thigh. It was s forty-
four calibre revolver bullet. Sampson
threw the heavy bar into the socket,
drove in a pin to make. it fast. and ran
into the adobe. while the Apoches yelled
and tired their guns outside.
had arms. ammunition, and
not be rercnforced. IIe tied asuspcnder
tricks. 'l‘be Apaches rode around the
coxrnl. whooping and yelling and look-
ing: for a weak spot. Sampson held his
Winchester ready and waited for some
thing to turn up. In n
wasloud whooping on the north side of
the corral. bampson did not

there. The heads and shout cm of two
paineed scsmps turned up
ode. They stood up in t
so reached the top. JcII turned the ;
Winchester loose, and one of the pair!
fell to the ground. with a broken sluml- 3
der. The other disappeared unharmed. 5
Then Jeff jumped to t e north window if
and clipped the car of a gentleman from 3
San Carlos who was getting over the,
fence. i
llis activity discouraged that planof 9
attack. and there was a lull in the storm ,
of bowls for a few minutes. Then he 5
wand the sound of choppin ' at the gate. l
Two of the. party were evidently trying
to hack th rh to the bar with theiri
hatrlicts. [3:3 hat‘llt‘d for his Spring
field. that «filed a heavy ball and ninety
grains of powder. Hp listened to the
the cho iping until be located the spot
where t eblovvs fell. lie {‘udged that the
Apache was probably rig t»handcd, and
was standin just behind the ten~inch
gate post. e drew a bend on the post
and pressed the trigger. The cho pinr
ceased. and Jeff subsequently can
that the ball went through the soft wood
and bored u hole in the abdomen of one
of the cho pars. If anybody will gate
the ranch elf will point with pri etc
that h e in the post.
That experience made the Indians wary
of indicatin
stoekadO. an the seven remaining war-
riors withdrew out of range to think
things over. Jed kept his eye on them
until he saw them dismount and disap-
icar behind clumps of cactus, and then
e watched with redoubled vigilance for
the next move in the game.
For an hour all was quiet, and Jet! had
time to bandage his wounded thigh in
better shape and bathe it in cold water.
0n the slope of a low bill that was visible
over the corral from the window of the
adobe was a stump big enough to shelter
two men. if they were careful. Jeff
chuckled when he saw two A niches
crawling around to get behiu that
stum i. It was distant about 300 yards,
sud .ieff had used it as s target so often
that he know its exact range and the ele-
vatien of his Winchester sight necessary

the redskins from getting behind t. Ila

The got there all right, and then
worker their little game. About 200
yards to the left of the stump the rest of
the gang gathered in a ho! ow, andby
wax-mg their head feathers above shelter
tried to draw Jrfl‘sfin, and induce him
to ex rose himself at the window. 4 He
saw the game, and fell in with it to the
extent of taking. a random ot toward
the hollow. As soonss hell he threw
another 'ctu'tridgeinto the chamber by
the lever, and drew a bend on the edge of
the stump. An Apache head was ked
out as I}. expected. sud a Win ester
boll went through it, quite unexpectedly

i knew all about it; that the fewer I s
- to the States, the more money I made, and
-that I had better not; carry it too far.
, This was getting interesting. and the
‘ next applicant for part of the board that
eI was robbing the poor of was closely
lquestioned. After a long and searching
inquiry I found that an old sailor whom
41 had the day before refused a Sixpence
. for beer was buttonholing every old cast-
, away and beach comer on the tpiuys and
l saying: “Go to the Yankee Consul if you
lwant a soft berth. He gets a lot of
l money to send poor fellows to the States.
and he‘s mckcting most of it; but if
i you shove im hard enough he‘s bound to
i send you." This was an ingenious venge-
lsnce, wasn‘t it? And it gave me
f trouble for months. Indeed, after a
,year a “Boston boy,“ as he, with visible
gswclling. informed me. seemed utterly
u heartbroken that he had been iuisin~
; formed in the streets about his chances
lof getting home. He earnestly begged
”shilling to get some supper, which I
{gave him. He left me. and, as I acci-
Sdentally noticed tliroiuh the window,

supposed. they sought the first bar. I
went after them and quietly demanded

Bread lshing.
A barrel of good flour should make
from 270 to 2&3 tive~ccnt loaves. Many
bakers blend four brands, as two .‘l'inne
sota springs and two Indians winters,
. before they get the right alloy. Others
we only one grade of spring and two of
1 winter wheat. These make the best.

bakers use alum extensively in order to
whiten their bread. That is not the fact.
There is no necessity for the use of alum.
and it is not used in the trade. There

inn-he in airtight z ovens, of the
best guide of flour. and niilk‘l’s used in-
stead of water in mixing the dough. In
baking, the steam settles back on the
bread instead of escaping. This makes
and
gives the bread a peculiar rich taste and
pleasant am. What is known to the
: trade ms Wits-am“ bread is another recent
invention. It is made of the very finest
of flour and baked in air~tight pans,
which incline it on nllf sides. It is thus
baked in its own steam, and possesses a
flavor peculiarly its own. One very large
bakery in New York is devoted solely to
the production of aerated bread. It is n
steam factory. and the bread so made is
extremely light and spongy. The inven-
tion is on English one. but has been in
use here for years. \Yhen the dough has
reached s certain consistency, it is run
into an air-tight cylinder and strongly
ini reguatcd with carbonic acid gas.
This cieates the lightnem and slwnginess
without detracting inthe slightest from
its nutritious qualities —.ViIIfny World.
