THE MAD STONE.
Oglethorpe Echo.

Mr.. S. Croft Arnold, who was bit
ten by a mad dog not long since,
has returned home from Columbia
county, Ca, where he went to try
the virtue of mad stone. He gave
us the following account of his ex-
perience: The stone, about one inch
thick, was applied to the wound to
which it clung and remained forsev-
eraI hours, difficult to be shaken off,
be being able to walk anywhere
while it was on him. On coming off
it was placed in glass of clear,
warm water, and in short time
bubbles we're seen to rise from the
stone, which. on bursting, discolored
the water, making it a pale blue
color. 1t was applied several times
until refused to adhere, when he was
pronounced cured. Mr.. Arnold also
informs us that he was told by relia
BILE parties that a negro boy bitten
by a rattlesnake was cured in three
or four days by the same stone even
after be had been given up By phys
iciAns, the boy not being able to
move when it was applied.

the remedy. The planter should
keep his cotton under cover Of a
good broad shed. The cost of such
q shed would be less than would,
otherwise, be lost by damage in 9
single season, Care should be ia
ken to see that the shed does not
leak, for, if it does, the cotton had
better be out of doors. The bales
should be KEEP. at least, a foot from
the ground, SO that there may be q
free circulation of sir under them
No reliauc, is to be placed 10 plank
floors laid on the ground. Finally,
good weather should be chosen for
hauling to the point of shipment. If
all these points we're carefully atten
ded to, planters would save them
selves an immense annual loss and
merchants would be
spared an infinite deal of annoyance,

MODERN SURGERY.

The latest triumph of modern sur>
gerry is the repair of Boston wo-
man who had fallen seventy feet and
broken her neck. The neck was
broken just as the necks are of cul-
prits who are hanged on tho gallows
namely, by dislccation of the
vertebre. Fortunately the Spinal
marrow was not injured or the re-
pairs could not have been made.
Having cbloroformed the poor wo-
man, the su- geons had the pleasure
Of hearing the bones and ligaments
snap as they forced the displaced
vertebrate into proper position. The
woman, on awaking, seemed to think
that her head had come off aud that
il had been put on crooked This
operation suggests new field of ex
perimeut on the bodies of executed
criminals. Attempts have frequent~
ly been made, sometimes with par
tisI success, to restore life by means
of powerful electric currents. Let
the next surgical experimeuterS try
setting the d slocated neck. It can't
dc the man much harm and might
set him partially or wholly to rights.
There seems to be hardly and limit
to scientific research.

HOW A TRIFLE LED TO DECTGC
TON.

A San Francisco man laid down q
package Of United States bonds
while he paid for magazine, when
we'll bred, well-dressed gentleman
engaged him in discussion over an
article which had attracted his at.
ton in the magazine. They grew
quite interested in it, but presently
the gentleman withdrew. The bonds
holder put out bis hand to pick up
bis envelope of bonds. 1t was gone!
The police said English Bilp was
the cove, and set out to find him.
But they we're quite bafied, with the
exception Of one detective who hung
on. The only clue he had WAS the
fact that English Bills" pal was
seen driving in fashionable quarter
and stopping at well-known board
ing school The detective made
himself solid with one of the cham
bermaids, who declared that there
was not man in the house. But
he patiently continued the acqusin
lance. One morning she came out
of the gate in the back yard and
emptied pail of Stops into gutter.
Suddenly be saw a bit of paper
floating along. He picked it up
and looked satisfied. A day or two
after when "a French grip who had
been 10 the institution a few days
and kept her room on account of the
neuralgia, was about driving away
10 a carriage, the detective disrobed
her and showed the sstonished school
teacher that she had been harboriug
a man. Most Of the bonds we're re-
covered. The thief had been de
tected by shaving paper. To main
tain his feminine character he had
been obliged to use the razor every
night when the rest of the house
was asleep. Weeks had been en-
ployed 10 perfectiug the ruse and
arranging the matter so as to allay
al! anspicion. The clever rascals
had learned all about the school, and
10 the introductory correspondence
bad, without appearing to do so,
played upon the lady's vanity. An
uncousidered trife bad betrayed
them.

NO DOLLAR HORSE.

'1'll show you boys I've got no
dollar boss" said Farmer Ritchart
to the Cleveland horse jockeys We'd
nesday. They made fun Of the old
man when he entered his horse in
the 1888 class, aud thought he was a
green one and no mistake. The
horse had sand burrs 10 bis tail aud
had been christened st. Louis as
another evidence that he was slow.
He started 10 ard came near being
distanced in the first heat. The old
man thereupon got ell the bets he
wanted at hundred TO one. Then
st. Louis was let out and came in
away ahead in three straight heats.
1t was after the second heat that
Farmer Richard gave expression to
the words at the beginning of this
paragraph, III show the boys I've
got no dollar boss = The boys were
satisfied.

DEAR OLD MOTHER.

Honor the dear old mother
Time has scattered the snowhakes
on her brow, pilowed deep burrows
on her cheeks, but is she sweet and
beautiful now 7 The lips are thin
aud sunken, but those are the lips
that have kissed many hot tear
from childish cheeks, and they are
the sweetest lips in all the world.
The eye is dim, yet it even glows
with the soft radiance of holy love
which can never fade. All! yes,
she is a dear old mother. The
sands of life are nearly run out, but
feeble as che is, she will go further
and reach down lower for you than
others upon earth. You cannot
walk into a midnight where she
cannot see you you cannot enter a
prison whose bars will keep her out (;
you cannot mount a scaffoId two
high for her to reach, that she may
kiss and bless you in evidence of her
deathIess love. When the world
shall despise and forsake, when it
leaves you by the wayside to die
unnoticed, the dear old mother will
gather you in her feeble arms and
carry you home and tell you all your
virtues, until you almost forget yoar
soul ia diafgured by vice. Love
her tenderly, and cheer her declin-
ing years With holy devotion.

ABOUT ADVERTISING

We have frequently had men to
tell us "We never advertise. 1t
is too much like throwing away
money" On observing their bust
ness we invariably see their molas-
ses barrel leaking, their sugar filed
with flies. their scales rusty,
their finger nails unclean, their
pants patched, their customers few,
and their success a failure. They
hobble along in the world slowly,
and are not the men who rise from
poverty to riches and emirence.
Show us a man who advertises ex~
tensiveIy and we will show you a
man who has the qualities essential
to business. The advertisements
placed in papers are like the kind
heartedness Of youth, bearing fruit
at first aud reaching into the years
when age comes on apace. Then
never tell US that advertising does
not pay. Drones and ignoramases
only advocate such views.

After recess Mr.. Doolittle concluded his
argument as follows: The claim that Cables
killed Early went to show, it was argued, that
the defence were hard pushed Cables
whereabouts had been ascertained with abso-

that Early's thumbs were bitten at all; and
anyway, the question was not one of teeth,
but who inflicted the fatal wound in Early
neck and the stab-wounds in the leg.
The speaker had hoped that the defense
would not have denied the homicide, but
would have sought to have the offense re-
duced by claiming that there was no malice
er reconciliation on the part of the accused.

The heather bleomed gaily along the road

birds filled the summer air. By the brook
that rippled merrily down the mountain side

lessly away from his white forehead were
two golden locks, and a No. 5 hat was
perched jauntily on the back of his head
"Will she never come 2" he muttered, in
low, earnest tones; 'tnever come to hear the
sweet words of love that are waiting on my
lips for her ?"
A fish rose to the surface of the brook,

puckered up for a kiss.
