OVER NIAGARA.

Two DOGS which went Over the Falls
without the Least Injury.
It is an error to say that no creature
that ever went over Niagara Falls
escaped with its life. In 1886 bull

In 1858 another dog was Hungin above
the Falls. and an hour afterward It
came dripping up the ferry steps, >

in general, but otherwise uninjureu.
A recent writer says that there can
sometimes be seen at the foot OF the
Falls water cones apparently ten or
twelve feet high. These are formed
by the rapid accumulation and con-
densation of the falling water. 1t
pours down SO rapidly and in such
Quantities that the water below. 80 to
speak, can not run off fast enough,
and it piles up as though it were in .
state of violent cbullition. These
cones are constantly falling and break

of these cones as on soft cushion.

svANsTlAN BREAD.

An Article Of Food which Would Defy
the Digestive Powers Of an Ostrich.
At last it has been discovered where
the worst bread in the world is made
it is in Svanstia, among the Caucasian
mountains. After reading the follow
ing description by recent traveller,
we ought to be thankful even if our
bread should be slightly sour or little
heavy some times:
Conceive a thing like large Sally
lunn. only flattcr, made of a mixture
of the coarsest oatmeal and sand. very
heavy, more than half sour and very
wet. When you have imagined this.
Won have imagined the thing which the
s,nsophisticated Swan looks upon as the
stan of life. Still, bad as 1t was, only
one Of our party refused to eat OF it,
and that one our interpreter, Platoon.
At first 1 was very angry with him. con-
sidering that as he had been bred in the
country, what was good enough for
ms ought to be good enough for him.
But he was right for all that, rs our dis
ordered digestions and a violent attack
Of heartburn told MS next morning.
TO eat the bread of Svanstia with i'm
uunity, even an ostrich would require

fancy, otherwise it would assuredly bt
too much even for his digestion, :

4 HUGE SERPENT.


u WeptIle Wntcn Cho9e0 Cottl0 anu Ox1v~D
Grown People Nearly Frantic
fCincinnati Commercial Gaxette.I
Butler, Ohio, has been in feverish stats
of agitation since last Sunday by the re-
port Of . monster snake that has been
seen in the inn mediate vicinity. Last Sun.
day Nick Corbin, one Of the Oldest and
most esteemed citizens, and whose ve-
racity Is unquestioned, went about . mile
out OF town in search of lost pig, and ~
he was passing through thicket Of black
berry bushes his attention was attracted
by some cattle that were rushing frantic.
ally toward the river, and on searching
for the cause Of the strange acton OF
the cattle his attention was called 70
strange, whirring noise in tho
bushes behind him, and on looking round
was almost paralyzed at the sight Of an
immense monster Of the snake species. 1t
was Of dark-brown color, with nat
head, and at least twenty i've feet long.
1t was standing with its head about ten
feet from the ground, waving from one
side to the other in an excited manner.
Corbin suddenly thought Of some business
In town that needed his attention. He
succeeded in getting away without at-
tracing the monsters attention, and with
all the speed he could command he rushed
to Butler and spread the report; and the
people having the utmost confidence In
his veracity, armed themselves with guns,
clubs. and other weapons that were handy,
and about p. m. about seventy five
men started for the place where the snake
had been seen.
The place was surrounded and with the
utmost precaution, led on by Uncle Nick,
tho men gradually closed in, but no snake;
| but there were unmistakable signs Of its
having been there short time before, and
after searching for . short time trail,
which looked a. II log had been drawn
on the ground, was found leading toward
the Ohio river. Several men followed the
| trail till dark set in and then returned to
| town. It Is thought by q great many b
| be the same snake 50 often seen by resi-
dents Of Moscow, O., rs the trail led In
that direction. The excitement has moi
| yet subsidized, and blackberries are going "a
waste in the community.

POISONOUS PLANTS.


POINTS which Parents Would Do Well 60
Commit to Memory.
Children should be taught not to eat
the leaves of any plant or shrub which
they find in the fields without first show
ing them to their parents or some
adult person. Many serious, and some
times fatal, results have occurred from
a neglect of this precaution. After
long tramp through the woods and
fields, children soon become very
hungry, and. unless provided with a
substantial lunch, will often eat leaves
and berries, thinking they are the same
as those which they are accustomed to
see in the city markets.
We cite few plants to illustrate.
The butter-cup, SO common in fields,
should never be put into the mouth. II
gathered, 1t should always be held by
the stem, as the petals are very caustic
and will quickly excite Inflammation.
The oleander contains deadly poison,
both in its leaves and flowers, and
special care should be taken to exclude
them from bouquets for the parlor or
dining room. The leaves of the meadow
saffron and of aconitc. or monkshood,
seem to possess for children the fascina-
ton of the rattlesnake, but should be
avoided carefully. There is. perhaps,
no plant so common in the fields, BY
the seaside and on mountainous, as
the meadow hemlock, of whose fatal
decoction it is said that Socrates drank.
Its tiny white flowers are indeed beau
tiful, and are often gathered in large
quantities by ladies and children who
have little idea of their poisonous
qualities.
But it is those poisonous plants which
so closely resemble common vegetables
| that we need specially to shun, and to
warn children against eating. The
common dropwort, before it flowers, Is
so much like celery that the former is
often eaten with deadly effect. This
plant contains virulent poison. which,
| taken into the stomach, causes convul-
sions and often death. Another plant,
almost equally dangerous, is fools
parsley; this is often mistaken for tur.
nips. Water-hemlock, or cow-bane'
resembles very much the common pars-
nip. Ivy and dogwood, though moi
eaten, are often gathered because Of
their beautiful twining leaves. These,
to a large number of people are poison
Gus.
We can not be too careful ourselves
nor watch too closely the children, In
pleasant rambles during the summer va
cation. In case of poisoning, let no tim'
be lost but promptly use every means t.
counterfeit its effects. Until the ar
rival of physician, produce copiou
and frequent vomitings. and persist
emily keep it up until all Offending
matter is expelled By no means ALLOW
the patient to become sleepy, but Civ
