MlburH Mass, Nay l6 1881 am now
in my eghtieth year, and have obtained what
information could, both from observation and
critical study. 1t has lately been discovered
| that q strong detection made of the bark of
the roots Of the white ash, when drank as u
medicine, will cure the bite of a mad dog This,
| undoubtedly is owing to the fact that rattle
| snakes can be made more easily to crawl over
| live fire Goals than white ash leaves; and they
are never found in the forests where the white
ash grows Would it not be advisable for
druggists in our large towns and cities to keep
constantly on hand n medicine prepared from
| the roots Of the white ash 1t might be the
means of saving some valuable lives from Il
sudden and painful death.
| will now mention another discovery that
has lately been made: large onion set out in
the spring 80 near the roots of a rose bush,
as that the fine fbres of each may touch and
intermingle, will greatly increase the flavor of
the rose. Perhaps if this were published it
might induce some of the fair horticultural
readers of your valuable paper to try the ex-
pcriment--anyhow, it would reveal to the pres
ent generation mystery in the natural world
heretofore unknown. Ii you deem any of the
above articles worthy of place in your paper,
please publish what appears useful to you.
4 Touch Of Natul e-There ia a touch of ma
ture in the following fact that must reach every
honest heart. An invetcrate rogue on the evo
of execution, out West confessed that he had
refused to correct an error in the spelling of
. his name In the Indictment for the reason that
hls poor Old mother might never know it was
r ~ son who had suffered fclon's death
There is something beautiful in this; it serves
to show that the heart of man, al though dyed
in the blacklist crime may still be susceptible
OF the hottest emotions OF our nature.
! insert one more curiosity and will occupy
no more OF your valuable time. Ii is a scrap
taken several years ago from a newspaper
Persian Wisdom In the treasury of one of
the Kings of Persia was found vase inlaid ia
gold. One cannot but smile at the turn, in
which is an equal proportion of philosophy and
