dark brown specks make their appearance,
and the sap seems to be checked, and then
the fruit ceases to grow and cracks open, ex-
posing the seeds, thus destroying the crop. 1t
is also observed that in some localities the
Mission grape is not doing well at all The

a CURE FOE HYpRopHoBrA.


a lady handed reporter the other day
a slip Of paper. asking him if he would not
publish it for the benefit of the public. It
for that dog-day terror, hydrophobia. The
cure, which experience has proven to be IN
falhble, is nothing more than the root Of a
common weed known as elecampane stepped
in milk. Eieeampane grows in great pro-
fusion along many country roads in this
and Rensselaer, counties. IL has powerful
medicinal qualities, and milk is well known
to be specific for many poisons. The
manner of administering the antidote will
be learned by perusal of the following
history of this simple and wonderful cure /:
In Chester county, Penn, lived German
named Joseph Emery, who used to be sent
for far and wide when any one had been
bitten by rabid animal. He went to his
patient, carrying something understood to
be a root, which he himself dug Ill the
woods. He MIXED a pint Of milk fresh
from the COW, put the root in it, boiled it,
gave it to the patient fasting made him
fast after taking it; gave a second and
third dose on alternate days, and never
failed in effeeting cure. In some way his
secret transpifeu, ana the root was known
to be elecampane. The story current in
the country was tsat an old German made
the discovery in the days of Penn, and APP.
piled to the Pennsylvania Legislature for a
grant of $500 for making his secret public
His offer was treated with contempt, and
he resolved that his secret should die with
him, but drunken son knew it, wrote out
the recipe, making number of copies, and
tried to sell them at 81 piece. He only
succeeded in selling two, one OF these to
the man who made such effective use of it.
So well did he establish the local reputa.
ton OF his specific thatin his neighborhood
folks were not afraid of mad dogs. This
man never failed to cuie or prevent hydro
phobia. In one case the spasms had begun
before the first dose was given, and the
patient recovered. Il Albany Argus.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old aud ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill OF the winters day.
The street was wet with a recent snow,
And the womauis feet were aged AID slow.
She stood at the cottage and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, and the throng
0fhumau beings that passed her by
Needed not the glance OF her anxious eve.
Down the street with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom Of q school let out"
Came the boys ike q flock Of sheep,
Haling the now piled white and deep.
Past the woman 50 old and gray,
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered 4 helping hand to her,
So meek, so titnid aIraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or horses fest
Should crowd her down ia the slippery street.
Al last came one Of the merry troop
The gayest laddie Of all the group;
He paused beside her, and whispered low,
! II help you across il you wish 70 60"
Her eyed hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and So without hurt or harm,
He gsided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm una strong
Then back again to his trends he went,
Ills young heart happy and well content.
she's somebody's mother, boys, you kngv,
For all she's aged and poor aud slow

To help my mother, you understand
