To Cnrc the Bite Of a RattIesnake.


While on visit to the country we
heard the following remedy and histo-
ry of its results related as facts by one
who was acquainted with the parties
a gentleman, while raI1ing and bind
ing grain, was badly bitten by rattle
snake Being some distance from any
house, he started to walk home. Be
fore going far, he found himself unable
to walk, and tried to crawl on his hands
and knees, suffering very much and
being very thirsty. He was unable to
get water, but having a powder flask III
his pocket, he put little of it on his
tongue. Gaining some relief from it,
he repeated the dose, until he was able
to walk and finally recovered. An in
stance of dog being bitten and cured
in the same way was also related. It
is an easy remedy and worth knowing.

Searching for Papa. -
from the New York Times, !

Late in the day Thursday a young
woman, leading by the hand boy and
girl, aged respectively five and six
years, applied for admittance at the
Morgue. She explained that she was
in quest Of her husband, Dennis Nc
Mahon. He had been shot in the right
hip and abdomen, and conveyed to the
hospital, but died shortly after being
admitted. The officer in attendance
explained the case to the women in as
few words as possible, and kindly ask
ed what disposition she wished to
make of the body Trembling like an
aspen leaf, she listened to the story,
her face changing from pale to ashy
white, and her lips moving as if TO CON
tradict the story.
While listening to the details of the
death of her husband, whose last mo-
ments had been spent in receiving the
consolation of his priest, the children.
unconscious of the magnitude of their
loss, were meanwhile running around
among the piles OF collins, asking for
"papa." The little boy pointed inno-
Gently to pile of children's collins,
and SAID to his baby sister, "See where
they put little girls; OH pretty pref
ty !" rubbing the side of the little
coffin with his hand. In the meantime
the little girl, in her search for eEpa-
pa, !" was endeavoring to lift I'D the lid
of a coffin, and peering through the
space between the lid and til edge of
the coffin, said, Here's papa, all ice, "
" No, God forbid, darling said the
mother, papa is not here"
The incident moved to tears. all who
Witnessed it, and when the woman ex-
planned that she had not enough mon
ey to pay her car fare to CatharIne Fer
ry, which she wished to cross to see
her priest, a dozen hands went into as
many pockets, and as good little purse
was instantly made up for her.

ONE Of the oldest questions ever
submitted to lawyers is now puzzling
those ofHartford, Conn. It seems that
a man who recently died there left a
widow, childless, bat expecting shortly
to become a mother. BY his will he
provided that if the expected child
should prove to be a boy, two-thirds Of
the property should go to him, and one
third to the widowed mother. If, how
ever, the child proved to be girl, only
one-third of the estate was to go to her
and two. thirds to the mother. The re-
suit, of course, was awaited with an in
terest even greater than that usually
bestowed upon such events. The re
suit is-the widow has become the
mother of twins-a boy and a girl.

THIS is an age of presentations but
one man in Vernon, Vt, has received
an extraordinary testimonial from his
neighbors. He turned sick woman
out of a house he had purchased. De-
sirous of expressing their appreciation
of this act, his townsmen sent him a
box, and upon opening it a remarkable
and by no means agreeable perfume
was observable. This is accounted for
by the fact that in the box was GER
tain animal called, among country peo-
pie, an essence-pedIar. " The inter
view between the mean man and the
four-leged pedlar rendered it necessary
for the former to inter his clothes.

A NEW patent-electric car brake was
successfully tested last week on the
Providence and Worcester railroad.
Each car is furnished with three-cup
battery, placed under the seats, entire
ly out of sight. Two cords, similar to
the common bed cord, one dark and
the other light, pass through the train,
connecting with the engine, thus plac-
ing the entire train under control of
the engineer. One cord puts on the
breaks, and the other lets them off.
Each car is independent of the other,
and each can be operated by single
movement The train running between
Providence and Woodsocket, at rate
of over forty miles an hour, broke up
in nineteen seconds. The cost of main
tanning the batteries is very slight, as
they require to be changed only twice a
month.

Their shivered swords are red with rust.
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud:
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, in battle gashed,
Are freed from anguish now.
