How TO Treat q Dog Bite.

The bite of mad dog is properly
dreaded. If it occurs rub for ten
seconds pointed stick of the nitrate of
silver into the wound. 1t acts as a
caustic and neutralizes the poison.
This is said to be an infallible remedy.
1t should be done at once. The dog
manifests the edisease-hydrophobia-by
a peculiar brilliancy and wildness of its
eyes, and then it soon froths at the
mouth and snaps at any object near it,
has spasms about the throat, ,and breads
fluid. 1t is alarmed at objects unseen
by others. A cat may go mad and
make a wound as severe as that of
mad dog, and should be treated in the
same way. The bite of an animal not
mad is often severe and dangerous. 1t
is usually lacerative wound-a torn
wound, that is longer in healing, more
dangerous than others, and very apt to
cause lock-jaw. The nitrate .of silver
neutralizes the poison; even if the ami
NAL is not rabid its bites and its
scratches produce bad wounds. A
friend of four score years was bitten by
his own cat, seemingly for the fun of it;
but it cost the venerable man the par
alysis of the bitten hand ever after. If
child be bitten, send for your NJ. D.,
who may treat.

Riding in Armenia.

A correspondent of the London
News, while riding toward the head
quarters of the Turkish army on the
Soughanlu range, suddenly felt his horse
sinking beneath him, and in another
instant he was enveloped in cloud of
dust and splinters. He had fallen
through the roof of house into an
apartment where family were break
fasting. An Armenian village from a
distance resembles the heaps of refuse
one sees around iron smelling works.
Here and there a couple of feet of dry
stone wall and cave-like entrance sug-
gest the possibility of the existence of
human dwellings. Between these
dwellings the spaces are carpeted with
an elastic layer of dung and offal five
or six feet thick. Huge ungainly buff
faloes, with bodies like bisons and the
eye of an octopus, low and moan stand
ing mid-leg deep in the filthy paths.
Turbaned men are perched here and
there like storks on the ehouse-top-pull-
ing their boards, and giving the whole
place scriptural appearance. Calves,
dogs, and fowl wander promiscuously
among the chimney-pots, and now and
then a dark-eyed, olive-faced woman
comes stealing shyly by, her face half
averted from the gaze of the giaour and
partially concealed by the folds of her
linen head-dress. The gloomy interior
of one of the houses or earth-heaps is
forty feet in length, and is divided into
two compartments by low boarded
partition four feet high. That next
the door is devoted to horses and buff
faloes-the inner space affords accom-
mediation to travellers. A little terrace
of beaten earth, six inches above the
floor flanks both sidls of the room. 1t
is covered with coarse rush mating,
and constitutes seat by day, bed by
night. Two square holes in the roof
admit light and air.

A War Incident

In one of the terrible battles IN Vir-
ginia a union officer fell wounded in
front of the confederate breast-works,
and while he was lying on the ground
and crying piteously for water, James
Moore, Of Burke county, N. c., con-
federate soldier, leapt over the fortifi-
cations, canteen in hand, and crawling
up to the poor fellow gave him a drink.
The wounded man took out his gold
watch and offered it to his benefactor,
but it was refused. He then asked for
the confederate soldiers name and the
two men parted. Moore subsequently
lost a limb in one of the Virginia
battles and returned cripple to his
home. The Raleigh News now tells
the sequel to this strange adventure.
A few days ago Moore received from
the union soldier to whom he had given
the cup of water a letter announcing
that the sum of $40, 900 would be paid
to him in four annual installments.

Domestic Life.


The banes of domestic life, says the
Friendship of Women, are littleness,
falsity, vulgarity, harshness, scolding
vociferation, an incessant issuing of
superfuous prohibitions and orders
which are regarded as impertinent in
references with the general liberty and
repose, and are provocative of ranking
or exploding resentments. The blessed
antidotes that sweeten and enrich do
mestic life are refinement, high aims,
great interests, soft voices, quiet and
gentle manners, ,magnanimous tempers,
forbearance from all unnecessary
commands or dictation, and generous
allowance of mutual freedom. Love
makes obedience lighter than liberty.
Man wears noble allegiance, not as a
collar, but as garland. The graces
are never so lovely as when seen on the
virtues; and where they thus dwell to-
gether, they make a heavenly home.

The Origin Of HandicappIng.

Most persons who take an interest in
sporting events are well aware what
the word "handicap'' means, but per-
haps very few of them know the origin
of the expression. The origin of hand
icapping is to be found in custom at
one time, perhaps, as prevalent in Eng
land as the modern practice of rafi1ing.
One person, let it be supposed, had a
pocket-knife which he wished to eX-
change for another person s pencil-case.
He would ''challenge" the owner of the
pencil-case to make the exchange with
him, and this being agreed to a third
person would be found to make the
award,n or in other words to arbitrate
as to the respective values of the two
articles, and to award a certain sum by
way of equaliZing them. Before the
award was made all three would deposit
in hat or cap certain stake which
the arbitrator would appropriate in the
event of his award proving satisfactory
to both parties, or neither party. The
way in which this willingness or un-
willingness to abide by the award of the
umpire was expressed seems originally
to have been this: The two exchangers
were to stand each with ''hand-i'-the-
cap;" and on the award being uttered
after an amount of circumlocution
purposely intended to confuse them
they were instantly to withdraw their
hands and open them. If both hands
held money in them, both were under

was made, and the arbitrator pocketed
the stakes. If neither held money the
bargain was not concluded, and the
stakes were still forfeited to the arbi.

coin, that one drew the stakes, and
the exchange was not made. Accord

is A, B and G to put an equal sum each

IMPORTANT YozE IN sWIrzER1AxD.

In Switzerland on recent Sunday, votes
were taken throughout the republic on
three Federal bills, submitted for ratfca-
tion to the entire nation. The frat created
a tax for exemption from military service,
and it's object was to raise a revenue by
levying an impost on all men incapacitaSed
for or exempt from, serving in the army.
The second bill concerned certain politi.
cal rights of the Swiss. To describe all
the details of it would be impossible, but
the consequences of it was that If the Swiss
wished to enjoy the right of electing their
Deputies or Municipal Councillors they
must be wise, full of intelligence, economi-
cal, successful in business, and not needy,
for poverty wac a motive for political
incapacity.
The third bill, on factory labor, was less
Objectionable, limited the hours of employ
msnt, and imposed salutaTy limits to the
work of women and children. Among
other clauses, the measure required the
masters to pay the employed at ieast once
a fortnight, and in money. Some OF the
stipulations were stringent, but the bill on
the whole was a good and necessary one,
and, in fact, of the three, it was the only
one ratified by the vote al referendum
That on the military tax was rejected by
majority of I53 904 to LAG, ,763 the second,
relative to political rights, was refused by

An Ugly Night at Big sandy.

A very ugly affair cu.red at Big
Sandy, Benton county, last Saturday.
A serious falling out had occurred be-
tween a Mr. Mcdonald, and Mr.
Murphy, and Butler friend of the
latter. The parties met at Big Sandy
on last Saturday, when Murphy and
Mcdonald engaged in a fight Muir
ply struck Mcdonald with his fist,
and then drew a pistol and fired,
missing Mcdonald. BY this time
Mcdonald had drawn a pistol and
commenced firing on Murphy, when
the latter ran, and was fired upon by
the former and hit several times.
While Mcdonald was shooting at
Murphy, Butler commenced shooting
at Mcdonald. A little boy II years
old, brother of Mcdonald was pres
ent, and upon seeing Butler shooting
at his elder brother, drew a pistol and
fired upon Butler, who finding his lit
lie antagonist in earnest. and having
been struck by one of his balls, gave
leg bail, deeming discretion the better
part of yalor. 1t is supposed that
noce of the wounds received in the
fight will prove serious.-Pdris Intel-
