LATER reports from districts over
which the storm passed showed that its
effects were more serious than was at first
stated. From those towns whose immed-
late connections with the outer world had
been cut off by the prostration of tele-
graph wires comes now the news that
many persons were killed and much
property destroyed.

Cure for Rattlesnake Bite.

Eighty years ago Joseph Geer, the first
settler at Long Eddy, n. Y, learned the
cure for rattlesnake bite from John John
son, halfbreed Delaware Indian, who
had his wigwam on the Pennsylvania side
of the river, at the foot of Long Eddy,
and eked out miserable existence hunt
ing, fishing, and supplying the settlers
with lead from mine somewhere in the
vicinity, to which he would go and get a
load and return the same day. Johnson,
like most Indians, was an inVeterate lover
of whisey, and for pint of 1T would let
a rattlesnake bite him and then cure him
self with his remedy, which, however, he
would not reveal. Geer always kept liquor
in his house, and on an occasion when
johnson was recovering from one of his
frequent 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 a pint
of whisky. 4 few years thereafter John
son went off with a strolling band Of In
dams and never returned. Geer kept the
remedy a secret, however, till from old
age hs 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 poultice one-half each of
common salt and indigo, mixed with cold
water, and renew every two hours. Eat
freely of the leaves, or drink often of a
tea made from them, of variety of the
blue violet (V. Sagittata), commonly
known as the ''arrow-leayed" violet. If the
bite be upon the log or an arm, bind the
leaves in a circle around it, above and just
beyond the swelling. Moisten with cold
water as often as they get dry from the
fever created by the poison, and renew
two or three times a day. During the
time this remedy has been in use in Mr..
Geer's neighborhood it has effected at
least twenty cures upon human beings, a
great many more upon beasts, and has
failed with neither. Ralph Geer and Moses
Thomas, Long Eddy, N. Y, 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 or any thing else.

THE copyright business continued to
increase IN all its branches. The aggre-
gate entries for 1885 was 28,411. The
system of international exchanges of
official publications has proved unsuccess-
full, is the returns for the valuable pub
locations sent out have been meagre.
The appointment of a special agent of
international exchanges is recommended.

supply is the simplest in the world.

Use and Abuse of Tea.

1t is not little curious, says The Ian
Get, that the diseases arising from the
wrong use of tea should be met with in
greater frequenc In countries foreign to
its growth. The diseases due to this
cause are we'll known to doctors, but the
public seems to be strangely Indifferent
to the teachings of their medical advisers
in these matters. Recently in France NJ.
Eloy has reminded medical men how vast
is the number of diseases owing an allie
glance to the dominion of queen tea.
America and England are the two coun-
tries that are afflicted most with the mala-
dies arising from its excessive consump-
ton. individuals may suffer in variety
of ways. 1t Is customary to speak of
acute, sub acute, and chronic 'theism,"
form that has no connection with theo
logical matters. The predominence
of nervous symptoms is char
acteristic of theism. General excitation
of the functions of the nervous system
may be observed, or the weakness may
be noted more especially in the brain as
distinguished from the spinal cord. Per-
version of the sense of hearing is not at
all an uncommon symptom, patients hear
ing voices that have no real objective ex-
istauce. The irritabil1ty that overtakes
women so frequently may sometimes be
clarly traced to an excessive use of tea.
No doubt the tannin which tea that has
been standing contains does great
amount of mischief; but the ism belongs
rather, to that class of diseases in which
morphinism, caffeism and vanirlism are
found. The habit of tea-drinking is
one that grows on its victims like the
similar ones of opium or alcohol Taken
in strict moderation and with due pre-
caution, tea is, like alcohol, valuable
stimulant; in lis abuse there is certain
analogy.

The whole of Southern California,
which is in any manner useful for agri-
cultural purposes, consists of valleys of
fertile lands between the mountains
where irrigation can be successfully car
ried on. The San Gabriel Valley, the
pride of southern California, and per-
haps the most beautiful valley on the
continent, commences at Los Angeles
and extends over thirty miles between
the spurs of the Sierra Madre Mountains
and the Santa Anna Valley; which also
runs up to near Los Angeles, and extends
for about thirty-fye miles below. The
land of these valleys are worth 800 per
acre for purely agricultural purposes.
because the lands can be successfully If
rigated by water brought down from the
surrounding mountains.

Geronimo is sharper than his would-be

rest and when the spirit moves him and

sheet about to be issued by the Post Office
department promises to be of great con-
venience. 1t is letter sheet with the
narrow place outside overspread with
mucilage, so that the sheet may be folded
and securely fastened: The letter ready
for mailing resembles the style in use be-
fore envelopes were invented. This the
government stamp in loose sheets and
collectively in pads, and it will be put on
sale soon at the leading postofices
throughout the country. As it can be
produced at a very low figure and affords
the same security that an envelope does,
it is expected to take the place, to great
extent of the postal card.
