DAYTON, o., Sept. 9.-Y0ur cores
pondent has just returned from the
scene of last nights cyclone. Devasta-
ton and death mark its path. The
greater part of Washington Court House
has been laid waste. Buildings are
leyeled to the ground and the streets
rendered impossible by debris of all
kinds. Several hundred families have
been made homeless and about mil
lion dollars worth of property destroy
ed. Many people were injured, besides
five killed outright. The storm came
up about 6 o'clock, when heavy cloud
began rising in the north and in few
minutes clouds also appeared In the
south and west, gradually obscuring
the entire sky. At 7:45 the heavens
were filled.with s,.,, ~ w ,,,.. -,' 4,

which seemed to be moving in all direc-
tions at once. In O few minutes later
the cyclone burst upon the city. It
first struck the house of ]. U. Roberts,
about six miles westof Washington
Court House. Roberts and his family,
awife and three children, were in an
upstairs room when they heard the
cyclone coming. They hastened to the
cellar for safety and had scarcely been
,auartered there when their entire house
was lifted off Its foundation, hurled
through the air q distance OfOne hum
dred and fifty feet and set down in the
pike mass of broken timbers. Roberts
and his family had o miraculous escape.
The cyclone Is described having had the
appearance of an immense rolling ball
ofcloud, Illuminated with flashes of elec-
tricity. Asit whirled on its course to-
wards the east 1t next struck the pre-
misesof John d. Stuckey in the western
suburbs Of Washington c. H., which
were completely demolished. ~ 5
The storm then made an inroad into
the, business part Of the city and left
DESTRUCTION AND DEATH
in its path. Massive buildings were
twisted and whirled to the ground,
loaded freight cars lifted from the rail-
way tracks, carried forty or fifty feet
and ppturhed. Bricks and lumber were
garfield long distances, and ruin held
sway everywhere. ''''
After wrecking the main portion OF
the city the cyclone seemed to divide,
one part going toward the east and the
other to the south. The northern and
southeastern portions Of the town
escaped with comparatively little dam:

these portions know what had happen.

A Cure for Hydrophokia,

A lady handed a reporter the
other day, a slip of paper, asking
aim if he would not publish It fos ahe
benefit of the public. 1t was found
20 be- a simple but efectiYe cure for
that dog-day terror, hydrophObia.
The cure, which great experience has
proved to be infallibIe, is nothing
more than a root of common weed
known as elcampane, STEPPED in milk.
Elcampane grows In great profusion
along mauy country roads III this, and
Rensselaer, counties. 1t has power
full medicinal qualities and milk is
well known to be a specific for many
poisons. The manner of administer
ing the antidote viii be learned by a
perusal Of the following history of
this simple and wonderful cure:
In Chester county, Pa, lived a
German named Joseph Emery, who
used to be sent for far and wide when
anyone. had been bitten by rabid
animal, lie went to his patient caI-
rying something understood to be a
root, which he himself dug in the
woods. He nsiIked a pint Of milk
fresh from the COW, put the root into
it, boiled it, gave it to the patient,
fasting; made him fast after taking it;
gave a second and third dose on al
Eternate days, and never failed in ec
fecting & eEse. In some way his Sc
cret transpired aud She root IS known
to be elecamp2ne.-Albany Argus.

Education in Russia

All that can be said about eduea
ton in a very large portion Of Russia
j. thatit does not exist. There ig no
rational provision for the teaching Of
the masses in the rural districts, and +,
though municipal authorities in towns
have the power to establish schools
they have hitherto exercised it very
sparingly. Towns, however, in the
sense in which the word IS understood
in america, are hardly TO be found
in the dominions o. the Gar. The two
capitoIs stand apart, Of course; be-
sides these there is not a single city
in the whole Of Russia which would
be deemed a large town in America
Only twenty have a population eX-
ceedidg 80, 900, and only $50 count
more than 10000 inhabitants. Not
more than Que in eight Of the So
100000 who make up the sabjects o

Paper Slippers

Paper shippers are the latest form
in which paper Is introduced in new
nyentions. An Englishman has
patented a system of manufacturing
slippers, sandals, and other covering
for the feet, out Of paper. Paper
pulp or papier mache, is employed for
the upper, which Is moulded to the
desired torn and size, and a sole Is
provided made Of paper or pasteboard,
leather board or other suitable paper
material, which is united to the upper
by means of cement, glue, or other
adhesive material. The upper il
creased, embossed, or perforated at
the instep and sides, which renders
them somewhat pliable and prevents
their cracking while in use.
