Cure for Iattlesnake Bite.

Eighty years ago Joseph Geer. the
first settler at Long Eddy. N. T.. learned
the cure for rattlesnake bite from John
johnson. a half-breed Delaware Indian.
who had his wigwam on the Pennsyl-
vania side Of the river. ut the foot Of
Long Eddy. and ekcd out a miserable
existence hunting. fishing. and supply
ing the settlers with lead from 4 mine
somewhere in the vicinity. to which he
would 90 and get 4 load and return the
same day. johnson, like most Indians,
was an inveterate lover of whisky, and
for pint of it would let rattlesnake
bite him and then cure himself with his
remedy. which. however. he would not
reveal. Geer always kept liquor in his
house, and on an occasion when John
SON was recovering from one of his fire.
quent spells of drinking to excess. and
was suffering terribly for the want of
liquor. Geer promising never to reveal
the secret while johnson was alive. sue
ceeded in getting the remedy for pint
of whisky. Afew wears thereafter john
son went off with strolling band Of
Indians and never returned. Geer kept
the remedy secret, however, till from
old age he was unable longer to answer
the calls of the settlers when any Of
them or their stock had been bitten,
and then told it freely to all. It is as
follows: Apply to the wound a poultice
one-half each of common salt and in.
digo, mixed with cold water. and renew
every two hours. Eat freely of the
leaves. or drink often of tea made
from them. of a variety of the blue
violet (V. SagiItata), commonly known
as the s.arrow-ieaved" violet. Ii the
bite be upon the leg or an arm. bind the
leaves in a circle around it. above and
just beyond the swelling. Moisten with
cold water as often rs they get dry from
the fever created by the poison. and re.
new two or three times day. During
the time this remedy has been in use in
Mr.. Geer's neighborhood it has effected
At least twenty cures upon human be-
ings. n great many more upon beasts.
and has never failed with either. Ralph
Geer and Moses Thomas. Long Eddy.
N. T., are the names and addresses OF
individuals now living who have been
bitten by rattlesnakes and cured by this
remedy without the aid Of whisky o.
anything else.

Done by Lightning.

The nrofile likeness of Miss Lillian
Paul on lacquercd metal japanese
tray is attracting much notice in this
town. The picture was apparently
burned into the tray without human
agency. A violent storm of wind. rain,
and lightning was raging. and the tray.
which resembles old gold in color. and
is brightly polished. rested on side
standard in the dining-room SO that light
from three angles of a bay-window fell
upon it. The tray and standard
were about six inches from the window
frame.
Miss Lillian Paul entered the dining.
room while the flashes of lightning were
SO vivid and continuous that they APP
peared like IA blazing fire. She noticed
that the polished tray was attracting
the lightning in dangerous way. A
constant blaze Of light played upon it.
As she stepped forward to remove the
tray she was startled by sudden and
brilliant electric flash which made hel
urn away quickly. In few minutes
he recovered and flung rug over the
ray.
On the following morning she was
amazed when she removed the rug to

Two Remarkable Men.

Il worked with John A. Roeblng on
the Sixth street bridge in Pittsburg and
on the Cincinnati bridge over the Ohio
river" said Louis Yeager. MR. Roeb-
ling was wonderful man. How many
persons, do you suppose. know how the
cables of the Sixth street bridge are
anchored? don't suppose that one man
in ten thousand who crosses the bridge
daily could tell. 1t is wire cable
bridge. The cables are composed Of
about five hundred strands of wire. In
the anchor every one Of these wires is
separately anchored. An iron pin was
driven into the stone foundation and
the end Of the cable unwrappcd and
each individual wire wrapped around
one Of the pins. Over all OF it lead was
poured until the whole was cementcd
into solid mass. No matter what
strain is put upon the bridge she cables
can never be pulled from their anchor
age. Over all there rests solid wall of
stone that fifty heayily-loaded trains
could not lift
''The Cincinnati bridge was a worse
job than the Sixth street BRIDGE the
speaker went on. 1.-The cribs were ter.
rible. A man who had to go into theta
day after day would have done well to
MAKE his will. 1t was my duty to super
intend the laying of the piers. and |
used to sit in the wire basket. feeling the
rheumatism reaching every joint in my
body, and wonder ii it was really ne
cessary that men should kill themselves
for the benefit of humanity. Mr.. Roeb-
ling was one of the most considerable
men that ever knew. Once when |
had one Of my fingers crushed in the
laying Of a stone he told me to take care
OF my finger and let the work 90 to the
dogs When he would see me around
the work he would come up and ask me
how felt, and tell me to 20 home that
wasn't losing any money. but might
lose finger. and he didn't want it that
way. My salary went on all the same.
and the surgeons bill was paid by Mr..
Roebiing. and was given extra COM
pensation for having been hurt"
Il didn't work Oh the great Brooklyn
bridge which was built by Roeblings
son. but would like to have been
there. Ii had been working there /
would have objected to young Roebling
spending SO much time in the pits. He
knew as well rs anyone that it was dam
gerous to his life, bur he was actuated
by professional pride. and would not
trust the personal supervision of the
work to anyone. He end his father
were the greatest bridge-builders in
America. Both of them lost their lives
in their devotion to their art, and it is
not probable that there will again be
found in the United States two men who
will be 50 solely given up to purpose !"

She could only account for it on the
supposition that the picture must have
been photographed on the tray at the
instant she drew back when the blind
ing flash Of lightning illuminated the
room. The picture il 4 side view. and
sharply defines IN profile the head and
shoulders Of the young lady. She Is oi
fair complexion and has dark hair and
eyes. No other person was ever photo
graphed by lightning flash on 4 tray,
but there are instances where persons
have been struck by lightning and the
surrounding objects photographed upon
them.
Mr.. Paul has an elegant residence
here. He has had the tray examined by
Leo Daft and other scientists. An cleo
trician in Newark said that the silhouet
had been burned into the metal by cleo
tricity, but Mr.. Daft attributes the re-
suit to secondary effects Of electricity.
There were no signs OF local disturbance
visible, and the lady did not experience
any snock, as she certainly would have
done had heavy charge been received
by the metal tray. which lay upon a
mahogany table, without any metallic
surroundings. The theory, therefore,
is that the effect produced on the metal
was due to oxidation, by the action Of
intensely bright electric light. Mr. Daft
is of the opinion that the lacquer on The
tray contains some ingredient. probably
bichromate Of potassium, sensitive to tho
light, and the quick action OF Miss Paul
in throwing the mat over the bright sur
face Of the tray aided in fixing her
image there. The tray will be exhibited
in public. -Rainfetd (N. ~ Letter.

Estelle, meanwhile, had bi.ldcn him

She also returned on the day of the

entrance of the tlleater and met Adolf

held out his hand.

She shook her head.
.'What has happened to your hair?"
he asked in a lower voice. though the
leading lady heard it.

said Adolphe, more candidly than po-
litely. 1.-The devil must have tempted
You to get rid of your own beauty.
Such hair as yours! Great heaven!''
Estclle threw his hand from her and
ran away. Adolphc stood staring after
her and then and there the leading lady
caught him by the arm.
''She sold it to me- said the lady. Il

told me he attended YOU They were 60

hair off to pay the landlady. You'd

she was silly about you; and now you

you word. What brutes men are! A
plain little chit like that is worth twen-
ty of them. You never guessed it; you
hadn't soul enough. Don't open the

And when the door was opened he
departed. hot tears in his eyes and some
thing in his throat that chokcd him. in
search of Estelle. He found her in her
little room under the caves, flung down
upon the floor, sobbing as though her
heart would break, and took her i'm his
arms. Whatever he had thought or
meant. he thought and meant only
what was noble and honorable now.
