How TO Keep Tender Plants
pondent Country Gentleman.


The large plants, which have doomed
freely ali summer, can be saved in a FROST
proof cellar after frost has killed the leaves
Cut off all the tenderest shoots; pull away
the dead leaves and blossoms, and procure
shallow boxes, not over six or eight inches
deep, with sandy soil in which to plant the
geraniumsy roses, fuchsias, heliotropes, ETC.
Pack them in closely, pressing the soil firmly
upon them. Cut off the tops thin out the
branches, and wet the soil little. Put them
where potatoes will keep we'll Once a
month look at them, and if dust-drv, give a
little water. They should be put into the
darkest part of the cellar and in March, if
you would like to forcc 3few for early bloom
ing, put them into very rich compost and
place in the kitchen windows, if they
are sunny, or in a chamber window, where
the morning sun strikes warmly. Give quite
hot water to the roots, and they will soon
bloom brightly. HeBiotropesaad roses kent
through the winter in this manner, and
poJted in February or March will be in full
flower III few weeks. Do not be contented
with filling up the cellar with vegetables and
fruits, but put in some boxes filled with
plants TO brighten your house in the early
spring. | trust | can influence all my read

upon the impurIli u the air. | know an

LIMA BEANs-To cook lima beans in per-
lection they should boil or simmer gently in
a covered vessel for half an hour then re-
move the cover and let the water boil and
evaporate until but little is left. Then add
cream or milk, with plenty of butter III it for

could not be cooked without pork is, not u
true one, though il one does not dislike the

CURED WITH SNAKE VENOM.
A Rattlesnake's Fangs Drawn Upon to BAT
fie a Case of LocIxiaw

fie Case of LOckjaw
The last number of the Philadelphia Medi-
cal News contains a recital of a successful
experiment with snake venom as a curative
for tetanus by DR.. A. O. Ameden, of Glens
Falls, n. Y. Being in locality in which
the rattlesnakes were fearfully numerous,
and having previously given some thought
to the subject DR.. Ameden resolved to make
the test
Awaiting myself of the services of an ex-
perienced snake-catcher," he says Il soon
obtained venom fresh from the fangs of one
of these reptiles; with this 1 moistened the
point of a hypodermic syringe and inserted
it beneath the cuticle in the upper dorsal
region near the spine. Symptoms of snake
poisoning rapidly followed, with a decided
ameioration of the tetanic spasms and
rigidity, which entirely ceased at
the end of ten hours, and the patient
enjoyed aquieJ sleep of six hours duration.
Thirty hours after the insertion of the
poison, however, rigidity with slight spasms
again came on. A second Introduction of
the venom was made as before, and no fur
ther trouble with tetanus was experienced,
and the patient made fairly rapid recovery.
But extreme pToStration followed the last
introduction of venom, which necessitated
active alcoholic stimulation, as in all eases OF
accidental snake-poisoning. There was no
diffuse inflammation from the wounds as
frequently happens when persons are bitten
In the limbs by these snakes and no other
results that would deter me from making a
second experiment in the same manner I
am OF the opinion that the second insertion
of the venom was too much, and might have
been withheld l believe that this snake
venom which has been properly called
'eretaline, can be used with comparative
safety, and may yet prove to be a valuable
remedial agent in tetanus, and possibly in
some other SDaSmOdic diseases

For Old Fashioned Republicanism.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journals
The result of the election on the 9th in
slant having demonstrated the fact that the
Republicans OF Indianapolis can elect their
candidate in the face Of the opposition of the
"patent Dutch" $50 called by nine-tenths of
our German population), the saloon and
liquor interest, the radical temperance ele-
ment, which refused to vote at yesterdays
election and insisted that the Republican
party ought to be beaten, and the pimps and
bummers of high and low degree, is it not
about time for reorganiza-
ton of the Republican party OF the
State of Indiana on the basis of
sound old-fashioned Republican principles,
leaving out all side issues, such as temper
anee, morals, religion, ETC., which properly
belongs to the churches and not to political
parties? When this is done, if done at all,
it will not be long until the sore-head, dis
gruntled and. dissatisfied of all condi-
tons will be rushing back by tens of thou
sands to the grand old party, asking only
for permission to do duty in the ranks,
Then there will be no question as to Indiana
being a reliable Republican State, to be de-
pended upon under any and all circum-
stances. A SQUARE-ToED REPUBLICAN,

TIE TORNADO.
Prof. Trowbridge's Lucid Theory of Circular
Storms.

New York Tribune.
Suppose, for the sake of illustration, you
should take basin of water and impart to 1t
with the hand a rotary motion. the result
will be that the level surface of the water at
rest viii become concave showing that the
liquid is thrown off from the center of mo-
ton in a spiral curve. If again, instead of
an ordinary basin one is used which has a
hole in the bottom, there may be produced
not only a rotary motion but a descending
spiral the velocity of which at the center is
so swift that a complete funnel is formed
A similar principle actuates the currents
of air that meet in the formation of lorna
does. The difference between a tornado and
a cyclone is mainly one. of space Oceans of
air move In cyclone; tornado is a mere
whirling column. The mechanical theory of
the two does not vary greatly. But in the
case OF cyclone 1T is possible to predict it's
movements, while a tornado forms so quickly
thai there's little time for anything except TO
seek the cellar. An illustration by the rota-
ry motion of water is imperfect for the rea-
son that air is subject to expansion and con-
traction. The whirling atmospheric wallis
of a tornado vortex are made of air
greatly com pressed, while the inner space
a chimney 1t may be called-s filled with air
that is not rarefied. If it were not for the
capacity Of the air to contain moisture, the
tornado, no matter how swift it's notion
would be invisible. This moisture is con-
densed in the form of clouds and fog by the
lowering of the temperature and by compress
sion. Both OF these causes are present in
the tornado. Practically, therefore, a lorna
do IS whirling she'll of water, ready to
burst whenever it meets an object as, for eX-
ample, mountain sufficiently large to stop.

Cannibalism in Russia.

Eating human flesh is one of the peculiar
tiles of which South SEES islanders, Austria
liam aborigines and certain tribes in Africa
are supposed to have an undisputed monop-
oly. This diet is not INDUCED in as a rule to
appease hunger, but because superstition at
tributes certain magical powers to the eating
of '1ong pig" 1t is reported from Russia
that in the graveyard of the village of Maui
rusow, in the Naitshik district, the police
noticed that the grave of a recently buried
child was much disturbed. Suspicion fell
on a man reputed to be a sorcerer. His
hut was searched and he was found sitting
Mt the fire, ON which was a pot simmering.
He refused to answer. any questions, but on
the adjoining bedroom being examined, a
large portion of the body of the missing
child was found hanging from a hook and in
IL corner of the room were the skulls of sew
eral children. The wretch, upon being in
terrogated as to where was the remaining
portion of the child's body, pointed silently
to the pot. His daughter, a miserable, starry
ed girl, admitted, on examination, that the
father used regularly to steal the bodies of
little children, cook and eat the flesh, and
from the fat make and medicines,
which he gave as charms. He had threat
ened to kill and eat her if she ever gave in
formation of his doings.
