MaIStOue.

An american reporter was shown q
''real" maidstone, which came to this city
yesterday, and which, it is claimed, has
been Instrumental in saving hundreds of
people from the tortures and terrible
consequences of hydrophobia. The stone
was originally brought from England to
North Carolina, and from there about six
years ago to Texas, where it was owned
by Mr.. Bunlpas, of Farmersville, where
people for miles around, when bitten by
dogs or snakes, went to have the won
denu( little rock applied, and it proved
as etticacious in the latter ca 9 of bites as
we'll rs the former. Incisions the size of
the stone are made where the wound is,
and the magic healer after it has been
soaked we'll in warm water bound to the
place. In case there is no poison it docs
not stick. but if there is, it holds on like
q leech till every bit is out, and by then
soaking it in warm milk the poison, of n
grecnish color, which has been absorbed,
comes out in milk.
The stone is of a black or greenish
bla:k color, about an inch and a half
long and thrce-euarters of an inch wide
and very light. It was sent to Mr.. Rod
ney Wcthcrby by his brother-iu-law, MI.
Bumpas, for the use of DR.. Hallowell in
the hospital. Mr.. Wetherby says in every
case in which'it has been applied com
plete cures have followed. Hc has seen
it work several mes himself, and men
toned one instance where three men had
been attacked AMI bitt. n by a very rabid
dog; two had the ma lstone applied and
never were given any trouble e, but the
9th r. who usel the ordinary method,
had the %hydrophobia and died.--NasM.

The Emblematic Horseshoe.

And now it is authoritativcly stated
that the horse shoe is no the emblem of
good luck it has 50 long been supposed.
On the contrary, it brings the reverse of
luck to people who treasure it. The
superstitious will please take notice, aad
cease to pick up this offending piece of
iron wherever and whenever they cham
to see it, as has long been their custom.
One of the greatest scamns on record. q

said nothing on earth or in heaven would
prevent him stopping to pick up a horse
shoe, for, if he knew his fortune was at
stake should he mis-. q certain train. he
would rather lose both than pass this
emblem by! It is melancholy to acknow-
ledge he was alway,a lucky fellow till
he died, and then, who car tell whether
he was or not2 At all events he left q
large collection of horsc-shoes of all sizes
and conditions to moarn his loss, and
henceforth exercise their thaumaturgical
power in some neighboring junk-shop.

Marriages.

A marriage in Japan is preceded by
the ceremony of betrothal, at which all
the members of the two families are
present. 1t often happens that the par
ties concerned then for tho first time are
informed of the intentions Of their pa
rents with regard to them. From this
time the couple are allow to see each
other on every opportunity. Visits, in
vitations, presents, preparations for fur
nishing their future home, and the be-
trothed are soon satisfied with their ap-
preaching future. The wedding gcner-
ally takes place when the bridegroom is
over twenty years old, and the bride in
her seventeenth year or over. The morn
ing of the appointed day the groom
dresses, and the toilet articles of the
bride are carried to the bridegroom's
house and arranged in the room appoint
ed for the ceremony. Among many dec
orations the small table supports figures
representing long lie, such as the stork
and turtle, supposed to live longer than
any other creatures.
In the evening q splendid procession
enters the hall, headed by the young
wife, clothed and yelled in white silk.
escorted by two bridemaids and followed
by a crowd OF relatives and neighbors;
ulSO 4TleIlSlS III tull COSTUME, 8ll RllCCerlQR
with brocaded scarlet and embroidery.
The two bridesmaids and two or three
young girls who are friends of the bride
volunteer for the service, perform the
honors of the house, arrange the guests,
and futter from one place to another to
see that all arc made comfortable.
Among the objects displayed in the
middle of the circle of guests there is q
deep sauce of soft ware made for the
OCCASION. It has n metal vase which is
furnished with two spouts and elegantly
adorned with artificial flowers. At a
given signal one of the bridesmaids fills
the vase with ''shake," a queer liquid
poured into the saucer. The BRIDE
drinks one-half of the liquid and the
bridegroom drinks the other half. After
this everybody is invited to the dining
room, where the "bcst man" sings the
happy song and serves out the great
dinner to all. With the exception of
certain Buddhist sects and Christians, q
priest or clergyman never takes part In
the celebration. The person known as
the ''best man" acts rs priest and per-
forms the marriage ceremony. The next
day after the marriage follows a festival
given by the police officer who has given
permission for the nuptials. He then
places the ne~wly-mafried couple on his
list.

A Spanish shepherd killed by light.
ming recently was made the subject of s
scientific post mortem to discover how
the electric bolt had done its. fatal work.
His eyebrows and eyelashes were burned
off, his eyeballs were dried up, all his
left side was scorched and burned in
spots down to the ankle, while the right
side of the body and right leg wero unin.
jured. Serious as these injuries were,
none of them appeared sufficient to have
caused his instant death. But as soon
as the breast was opened the cause Of
death was apparent. The lungs were
fr'ghtfully congested and the heart wa.
enormously d.lated and filed with
%coagulated blood. With all this damage
to the man his clothing was very little

WISE WORDS.

An error becomes q fault when it il
repeated.
Progress is attained by tho perfection
OF the individual.
1t is always best to overlook and do.
spise illiberal censurc.
Still water becomes corrupt; the run
ming stream is limpid.
Many pcop'e are busy in this world
gathering a handful of thorns to sit upon.
No man is more severely punished than
he who is subject to the whip of his own
remorse.
Look around the habitable earth, how
few know their wi good, or how to-
pursue it.
1t is clear that in whatever it is our
duty to act. those matter also it ia our
duly to study.
The first in conversation. is truth, the
next good sense, the third good humor.
and the fourth wit.
That cunning may succeed for the time
being is perhaps true; that it will fail in
the end is Q iually true.
Hope without action is o broken staff.
We should always hone for things that
are possible and probable.
ShAl VI Iuc IS not
required in a smooth soa. 50 virtue, in.
active in prosperity, reveals itself in
adversely.
The man who does a good turn to q
nieighbor to day will find somebody do
ing a good turn to him next year. This
Is an etcrLal law.
Such Us thy words are, sch will thy
affections be esteemed and such will thy
deeds as thy affections, and such thy
life Us thy deeds.
Sometimes the reward for honesty is
far from equal to the homage rendered
rascality. We demand honesty, yet toe
often fail to recogni e it.
There is no occupation in which one
may SO constantly sec and realize the
presence of an oyerruling providence as
in the cultivation of the earth.
Hope nothing from luck, and the
probability is that you will be so pre-
pared, so forewarned and fo%rearmed,
that all shallow observers will call you
lucky.

Qld.Fashioned Beds.

Two hundred years and more ago the
beds in England were bags filed with
straw or leaves, but not upholstered or
8 ,uared with modern %neatneas. The bag
could be opened and the litter remade
daily. There were few bedrooms in the
houses of ancient England. The master
and mistress of the Anglo-Saxon house
had q chamber or shed built against tho
wall that Enclosed the mansion and its
dependencies; their daughters had the
same. Young men and guests slept in
the great hall, which was the only no.
ticeable room in the house, On. tables or
benches. Woo'en coverlids were pro-
vided for warmth; poles or hooks on
which they could hang their clothes pro-
jec.ed from the wall; perches were pro-
vided for their hawks. Attendants and
servants slept upon the for.

Our father lies beneath the sod,
His spirits gone up to his GOd
We never more shall hear his treai,

Here are three sisters in b row;
We were cut down in all our prime,
The daughters of !. aud NJ. Shrine.
We have I aid the debt you plainly see,
Yet to be paid, my friend, by thee.
The above was written and caused to-
be recorded upon the stone by the father
of the three sisters.
The above-named Isaac Shrine was a
man Of very eccentric character in his
day in Northeastern Ohio. Before his
death he wrote the first four lines of the
following cpitaph, which can be seen
upon his tombstone in a graveyard in
Cherry Valley, Ashtabula county, o. The
lost two lines were added by his brother
after his death:

Nobody knows, nobody cares.
But his brother James and his wife Emeline,
Were his good friends all the time.
