James r. Miller of Camden county, Mo-.
was bitten by dog that he thought was
mad. He at once set out for Boonsville
where he had heard there was a maidstone.
A Mr.. Bacon had one, and it was applied to
the wound, to which it really adhered for a
short time. When it fell off it was washed
in warm water and then applied again.
This was done three times, and then the
stone would cling no more. Mr.. Miner had
a wound on his hand made the same day on
which the dog bit him. The stone would
not adhere to this at all.

BY the new process of toughening timber,
it is claimed that the effect produced npon
wildwood is such that cold chisel is re-
quired in order to split it. This result is
accomplished by special method of steam
ing the timber and submitting it to end pres
sure. technically "upsetting it." By this
means the cells and fbres are compressed
into one compact mass; and it is the opinion
of those who have experimental with the
process that wood can be compressed to the
extent of some seventy-fve per cent, and
that some of the timber now considere unfit
for use in such work as carriage building,
for instance, can be made valuable by this
means as substitute for ash, HICKORY, &c.
