The town of Selma, Ala,
claims to have the most Won
derful artesian we'll in the world,
and it would seem with good
reason. The remarkable feature
in the case is that two separate
streams of water, Of entirely diff
ferent properties flow from this
we'll. The singular etfectin ques-
ton is produced, it seems, by
the simple insertion of a two-inch
pipe within a four-inch tube. The
larger pipe descends to a depth
of some four hundred feet, the
water having no mineral quail
ties or character, and being very
cold; the inner pipe descends
seven hundred feet; the water is
strongly impregnated with sui
phur and iron, and, compared
with the temperature of the twin
stream, is quite warm.

AS if Frenchmen had not suf-
hclent excuses for drinking
absinthe already, M. Janin, says
the Pail Mall Gazette, fresh
from Cochin China, has suppl
ed them with another. Absin-
the, it is now proclaimed, is can
infallible remedy for cholera. A
small dose of absinthe, taken in
a glass of c%laret, will restore
circulation and warmth. With
some patients the cure is rapid
as Nhe attack, with others it is
only accomplished after twenty
four hours. In a small parish
in Cochin China NJ. Janin cured
seventy-three cholera patients
out of the seventy-six attacked
by the disease ; six French
soldiers in the fortress Soctang
were cured by the same means,
while only one died, and he was
dying before M Janln came.
Should one dose of absinthe
prove insufficient, he recon-
mends the patient to continue
taking it ; he says of himself
that when attacked by cholera
he drank one-third litre ofabsin-
the in about ten minutes, after
which he slept and awoke
cured. It is a curious fact that
after taking five or or six doses
of claret mixed with absinthe
the patients are rarely intoxicat-
ed. If, however, they fall asleep
in a state of intoxication they
are saved.

Mrs. Lavina Warren owns a
farm in the town of PoWhattan,
Belmont county, Ohio. She
killed her husband, for which
'act she served a term in the
penitentiary at Columbus, and
now the farm belongs exclusive
" to her. A new road was to
be laid, and it would cut Mrs.
Warren's farm in two. She told
1 County Commissioner that
they had better not NEEDLE with
her farm. One day a surveying
party came. and Mrs. Warren
got her shotgun and fred into
the gang. Some of them were
Biz with shot, and they all ran
and left their instruments, which
Mrs, Warren quickly seized
and put in a safe place. Mrs.
Warren had made a record, and
i vas thought best to quit sur.
veying until the Sheriff could
provide an escort for the sur
Veyors.

Venusis morning star through
out the month, and easily wins
the honor of being at the head
of the planetary list, for she is
the most beautiful object that
adorns the eastern sky before
the all-conquering sun common
ces his daily course. There is a
reason why the fairest of the
stars deserves special mention
during the passage of the last
month of summer. On the 18th
she reaches her period of great
est brilliancy as morning star,
when she is so transcendently
lovely that the trouble of rising
early is more than rewarded by
the beauty of the exhibition
Venus makes her appearance at
that time soon after 2 O'Clock IN
the morning, nearly three hours
before sunrise, when such is the
briiliancy of her shining that
objects illumined by her rays
cast shadows, and even the sun
himself has no power to hide
her entirely from mortal view
She may easily be seen aftel
sunrise, and even at MONDAY
liz her position in the sky is
known. It is difficult to fine
words to express the matches
loneliness of this bewitchin&
star. as she hangs loW in tht
heavens in the soft summel

OH to the country for a month,
and leave You to gallop around
here, you have got hold of the
wrong end of the string !"
A number of the chief officers
in the New York Fire Depart
ment witnessed a most success
full exhibition Of a new fire extin-
guisher in that city a few days
ago. The experiment is thus
described : In a large lot some
scantling had been stacked up
like the rafters Of a high peaked
roof, twenty feet long by five
wide. A man had been at work
smearing the scantling with tar
and soaking it with kerosene
oil. Next he feathered the coat
OF tar with a couple of barrels
of shavings. He then came
forward with a flaming torch,
and upon word being given ap-
piled it to the scantling. In
a second the flames were all
over the pile, tearing away like
mad. After it had burned three
minutes the extinguisher man
appeared, carrying a small six
gallon fire extinguisher on his
back. He gave a valve at the
top quarter twist, and turned
the stream on the ground ends
Of the scantling. He kept this
up thirty-five seconds, and then
the last fame on the top end OF
a scantling in the middle died
out. He then invited the crowd
to place their hands on the char.
red timbers. They were cold.
and the operator claimed that
they could not again be ignited,
Next a barrel of tar and a can
of kerosene oil were emptied Oh
the ground and set fire to. The
fame and heat drove everybody
twenty feet away. The opera
tor got a little nearer, with the
extinguisher on his back, gloves
on his hands and a mask on his
face, and put out the fire in nine.
teen seconds.
