How To DETECT SMALL -Pox.-A st.
Louis physician tells his mode of detect
ing smallpox: "The feeling OF tired
ness and pain in the back are almost un-
i7ersal and prominent symptoms but one
thing that distinguishes small pox from
every other is the hardness of the erup-
ton. BY pressing or passing the hand
over the forehead or legs the feeling is
exactly that which would be caused by
medium sized shot buried under the
skin, and the severity of the disease may
certainly be known by the number or
thickness of these shot-like bur - The
above signs he claims are infailibie.

HUNTING ALLIGATORS IN
FLORIDA.

Savannah News: Parties are hunting
the gators way down on the Caloosahat-
chic and kissimmee Rivers, and upon
the numerous lakes in that region. Moth
ing is used except the skins upon the
belly and legs, the rough, scaly plates
upon the buck of the animal being reject
ed. The heads are cut off and buried
for few days, when the tusks can be
detached. 1t was announced some days
since that one person had collected alli-
gators teeth to the amount of three
hundred and fifty pounds. This fact
alone will give some idea of the destruc-
tion now going on among these creatures.
On the st. Johns River new method
has been devised for the successful pur :
suit of this game. A dark lantern with
powerful reflector is used on suitable
nights, and no difficulty is experienced
in approaching the quarry. The animals
appear to be perfectly bewildered by the
strong glare, and make no effort to es-
cape. The gun is held within few feet
of the head, touch to the trigger, and
there is gator less in Florida.
This new process is very effective, as
the hunters are enabled not only to kill
Int to secure the prey. 1t is sad to re-
feet that the race of saurians is in dan
ger Of being extirpated. Thousands are
slain annually by tourists and others for
amusement merely, in addition to those
slaughtered for profit. Thousands of
baby gators are stuffed or sent off alive
as curiosities, while myriads of eggs are
blown and disposed of by dealers. Amid
all these causes combined the brute seems
in good way to become extinct. This is
| somewhat unfortunate, as the beast is o
| constant source of interest to our North
ern brethren, and every hunter from that
section eagerly Graves the distinction Of
adding an alligator scalp to his list of
trophies. If their wholesale destruction
continues it viii be necessary to call on
the Fish Commissioners to restock our
lakes and rivers with these valuable AMI
| mails.

The ''STAKED PLAINS. The build
ing Of the Texas Pacific Railway has de-
veloped ..-e important fact that the Llano
Estaeado, or ''Staked Plains hitherto
regarded as an irreclaimable desert, are
adapted to settlement and cultivation.
There is in all its extent no running wa
ter, but the railroad engineers found
water at the depth of forty feet in the
FIRST well they sunk, and reached the
same result with every succeeding well.
The country seems to be honeycombed
with subterranean water courses; encoun-
tered at a depth varying from thirty to
forty feet. The supposed desert turns
out to be the best watered division of the
road. 1t is rich prairie soil, bearing a
luZuriant growth of grass. Where the
graders camped, and corn and oats were
spilled, it was found that the grain took
root end grew thriftily.

4 CLOCK MADE OF BREAD.-Milan
has curiosity in clock which is made
entirely of bread. The maker is a Pc
ruvian, native of India, and he has
devoted three years of his time to the
construction OF this curiosity. He was
very poor, and, being without means to
purchase the necessary material, be de-
priyed himself regularly of bis daily
bread, which he devoted to the construc-
ton of his curiosity, eating the ernst and
saving the soft part for doing his work.
He made use of a certain salt to solidfy
his material, and when the various pieces
were dry, they were perfectly hard and
lnsoluble to water. The clock is of re-
spectacle size, and goes well. The case,
which is also of hardened bread, displays
great talent in design and execution.

4 REMARKABLE case of surgery is re-
ported by the Hartford Republican, as
follows: Thomas Carroll, a well-to do
farmer living in the eastern part of Erin,
has for many years been a patient suffer
er from fever sore on his left leg, and
the disease had made such progress of,
late as to cause him to know that he must
eventually lose his limb. On Saturday
last he made a personal examination of
the diseased part, and found that, in ad.
dition to the sloughing away of the great
er part of the flesh, the bone Of he leg
between the ankle and the knee had in
part decayed, and in fact there was only
small portion of the bone left. On dis.
covering this he grasped his foot with
one hand and pressed hard with the other
upon the decayed part, and broke it
asander. He then called for razor,
which was handed him, and with it de-
hberately cut off the entire limb. He
then, without assistance from anyone,
tied up the arteries, made the necessary
lap of flesh around the bone, and sewed
and bandaged the same without help from
anyone, and is IN a fair way of recovery.

A WONDERFUL TREE.

Philadelphia Times: A farmer living
near Schooley Mountain has greatly ex-
cited his neighbors by an account of
wonderful tree which he discovered
several years ago and which he has been
watching ever since. He says that for
three years it has gone through the cold
weather without shedding leaf. It is a
maple tree, and its sap makes very good
maple sugar. The farmer noticed it first
while following the trail of fox up over
the mountain, early in December, 1878.
All the other trees, even of the same
| species, were entirely bare, while this
tree had not, to all appearances, lost a
| single leaf. There were no dried leaves
underneath it, and the leaves On the
branches wera all green. 1t was with
great difficulty that leaf could be pull
ed from the twig to which it was fasten-
ed, and strong breeze, which was blow
1ng at the time, had no effect upon the
| leaves. So astonished was the discoverer
at the phenomenon that he forgot all
| about the fox he was after and the cold
character of the day and spent several
hours examining the tree.
He went home greatly puzzled, and re-
turned several days later with a clergy
man living in the vicinity. They deter
mined to mark several of the leaves and
see how long they remained where they
were. They also resolved to keep the
thing a secret and watch its progress un-
til spring. This they did. When April
arrived the leaves which they had mark
ed were just as green and fresh as in
December, and the tree itself was not
affected in the least by the severity of
the weather and the many windy blasts.
The bark was tapped every week and
yialded plentiful supply of sap-enough
to keep both the farmer and the minis
tcr's families in syrup all winter long.
The same has been tried ever since: not
leaf has fallen to the best of their be-
| - ~--@S ~ WV tiAC tlGt WAS LOIlCou,
and the sap has flowed with the same
regularity and profusion. As far as can
be ascertained, there is no cause for the
mysterious vitality of that particular ma
pie There is nothing in the soil or SUBJ
soil to render growth more available or
make the trunk and branches better able
to stand the storms and cold weather. A
number of people have lately visited the
curiosity, but each one comes away per-
feetly nystified At the present time
not another tree on the whole mountain,
with the exception OF several evergreens
neal the hotels, has leaf on it, and the
! trunks and branches stand out bleak and
baie. This maple is in an exposed spot,
unprotected from the winds and sur
rtsssnaod iJy rocks. Just what i is as il
Is battles the ingenuity of all beholders.
Even the regular December fox hunt is
cast in the shade by this perpetually
green maple tree.

| OUR readers hereabouts will remem-
Der that some time about the middle OF
January, was chronicled in this paper
the fact that some unknown person en-
tered the residence of VIM. Hardesty, a
| few miles northeast of this plslce, one
day during the absence of the family,
and took therefrom considerable guam
tity of clothing. SC. Suspicion attached
to young man geing under the name
of John StaTke, who had been lurking
about the neighborhood without any
definite abiding place, and who repre-
sented that he was from Columbus.
John had stopped several times at Mr..
John Wells, and partaken of the hospt-
tality of his family, but about the time
of this theft disappeared from the
neighborhood. The latter part of last
week he returned TO Mr.. Wells; during
his stay he offered to sell gold pencil
which had the maiden name of Mrs.
Hardesty (Taggartl. inscribed thereon,
and which was known toMr.Wells as one
of the articles stolen. These facts were
made known to Mr.. Hardesty, who came
TO this place early on Tuesday morning,
and procured warrant for his arrest,
when Constable Umstead went out and
secured Starke and brought him to jail
Several articles which we're taken from
the house at the time it was entered,
were found upon his person.
A preliminary hearing was had before
Squire Henry N. Davies, yesterday, and
the defendant was held in the sum of
$500 for his appearance at Court to an
swer the charge of grand larceny, and in
default he was committed to Jail.
