Proper Care of the.Teeth.


 Dr. Flagg of Philadelphia said: sI think it not strong ground to take that bristle brushes do infinitely more harm than good Similarly Dr. Cook, famous Brooklyn den- tist, said: "While bristle brushes. when soft and properly used, are of great benefit to many people, yet it may be seriously quea- tionSd whether they have not, on the whole, besn of injury to civilized people," When bristle brush has been used g short while the hajrs lose their parallel set and become loose The bristle initiates the gums, which reosde until the roots are barred, when decay of a far more serious nature begins it's la- mentabIe work. With tho felt it is different. No matter how new the felt or how strong the pressure of the hand, it does not excite the most sensitive tooth or irritate the gums. It cleanses the teeth, and through the edges reaches the side and angles where the bristles of the old fashioned brush do not penetrate. It polishes the enamel rapidly and easily, and when aided by good dentifrice re- moves tartar and tobacco stains without difficulty or trouble. In all of these regards it is far superior to the bristle brush. With the felt brush the felt lasts from one to three weeks, and then can be replaced by new block. The handle and metal hoop are almost indestructible, so that from an economic standpoint felt brush is not one tenth so dear as any other. In con- clusion, it may be stated that no one who has given the new invention a trial will ever ge back to the brush of our fath- CTS.

 This remedy has been known and used in this place and vicinity for over eighty years. It was first obtained by Joseph Geer Johns father) from @ half breed Delaware Indian named John Johnson, who used in 1900 to occupy hut on the Pennsylvania side of the river opposite Long Eddy, and who, for pint of whiskey, would let rattlesnake bite him and then cure himself with it. It is as follows:
 Apply to the wound 8 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 @ tea made from them, of variety of the blue violet ~. sagittata) commonly known as the "arrow-leaved" violet. If the bite be upon the leg or arm, bind the leaves in cir ole around it above and just below the swelling.

ITALIAN EMIGRATION.

Italian emigration is receiving attention in Italy as well ss in this country. An act now before the Italian parliament provides for the licenaing of domiciled Italian citizens as emigration agents for one year by the minis ter of the interior on the proposition of the prefect of the province. The agent must de- posit ], 1000 to 5000 lire ($2o0 to $s00) as se- curity against sudden losses of emigrants, re- sulting from his action or negligence, to be disbursed on the award of 8 governmental commission. A copy of the contract must be given to the emigrant. The agent is for bidden under penalty to ask or receive com- pensation from emigrants, except for sums actually disbursed on their account; to coun- emigrants with shipping, to mediate between them and the shipping company, or to ac- company them to the place of authorization or destination. Clergymen and local officers who promote emigration, even without the desire of gain, are likewise liable to punish ment, ss are all who procure or give ship ping to emigrants unprovided with proper papers. The spreading of false information, with fraudulent intent to promote emigra- tion, is punishable as swindling. Finally, the government is armed with full ordinance power.
 Such Q law has long been demanded by Italian statesmen and economic and statis- tical societies, and it may do something to improve the character of the emigration and decrease it's quantity. Italy may we'll make some effort to keep her people at home. In the ten years from 1877 to 1886 Italian emi- grantion to extra-European countries has steadily increased from 22, ,695 per annum to s7, 423, or from SIS to 2944 per 100, 900 of the population. That of other European countries has fuctuated, the tide being at the food during the three years 1SS1-1SS3, since when it has steadily receded. Since 1880 the number of extra European emil grants per 100, 900 from Italy has been less than from any other European country fur nishing reliable statistics, except Germany and Switzerland during the two years 1885, 1886; but in actual numbers it is exceeded by Great Britain and Ireland only.
 If the efforts of Italian statesmen and the efforts of statesmen in this country result in 8 suitable regulation sf Italian emigration 1t will be good thing for both countries, and especially for this.

 An interesting essay on the poison of spiders was recently delivered by Professor Brieger of Halle. Experiments made with two kinds of Russian spiders reputed to be venomous showed them to be innocuous, but a third species, belonging to the same region and properly termed the "black wolf," was found fully to bear out it's reputation. Its poison is more powerful perhaps that any known, not excepting prussic acid and strychnins. It makes great ravages among Russian live stock, attacking the animals as they graze. It iniicts sting on the mouth or tongue which causes death in 6 short time. The venom pervadss the entire sys- tenn of the spider, constituting about 25 per cent. of it's weight. The poison belongs to the class of so-called fermsnts, being com posed of slbuminous matter. It is rendered inactive when subjected to the action of al cohol. It produces no effect when taken in the stomach, but when introduced into the blood vessels it acts so powerfully that two or three milligrammes will suffice to kill g man. Professor Brieger has examined the spiders of Germany and has found only one to be venomous. In this species the venom is possessed only by the young insect, which is virulent in an extraordinary degree.

 Alden Davis of Damascus, in Wayne county, Pa., was bitten few evenings since by rattlesnake in the ball of his thumb. A cord was fastened tightly around the thumb to stop the movement of the blood from the region of the wound to other parts of the body. Young Davis was then taken as quickly as possible to the office of Dr. Kemp, at Callicoon Depot. Having seen in 6 news- paper few years since description of the remedy for rattlesnake bites as used by the Geer family at Long Eddy, N. Y., Dr. Kemp made careful investigation of the matter, and became convinced of the truth of the statement therein made, and that the remedy was indesd all that was claimed for it. He therefore advised young Davis to drive to John Gesr's as quickly as possible, but first to partake freely of rye whiskey. A bottle of this liquor was obtained, and the horses head turned to the direction of Long Eddy, distant eleven miles.
 It was now late in the night, and, as the moon was down, very dark. The road was 6 rough one, but by careful and as rapid driy- ing as possible the dwelling of John Geer, the famous rattlesnake catcher, was reached before daylight. By this time, in spite of the tightly drawn cord around his thumb, the poison had made It's way into the hand, wrist and arm, which were badly swollen. Davis had taken but two small drinks of the liquor, and Geer promptly forbade the use of more, saying it's effect would be to increase the circulation of the blood, and thus spread the poison more rapidly. The effects of the poison seemed not to be entirely confined to the had and arm, but in some way was affect ing the stomach. He had several severe vomiting spells, after which he spit blood freely.
 Fortunately Geer knew right where to get the violet, sovereign remedy for the bite of a rattlesnake, and, lighting lantern, in five ainutes' time had Davis eating it's leaves. He then applied salt and indigo to the wound, first taking off the tightly drawn cord, which, however, had probably done good service in preventing the more rapid spread of the poison. Davis soon began to feel better. The pain, which was great when he first came, soon ceased. The stomach sickness also left him, and, lying down, he slept for an hour, when Geer awakened him te give him more of the violet and apply a fresh poultice.
 At the end of twelve hours from the time he came to Mir. Geer's, Davis started to walk home, though the swelling had not yet sn- tirely disappeared. Thinking he might be kept for several days, he had sent his horse home. Geer gave him quantity of the re- medy, cautioned him to walk slowly, not to 20 to work, but use the medicine till the swelling was entirely gone, and assured him he was

 A curious idea as to relative values is giv- en by the publication in the same issue of a St. Paul paper of two local court items, one of which states that a certain railroad eOmpa- ny has been sued for 5000 damages by the administrator of citizen who lost his life, it is alleged, by the negligence of some of the company's employees. The second item is to the effect that another railroad corporation has been sued by an engineer who wishes to obtain $20,000 as g recompense for the loss of his foot, which was badly injured while he was temporarily acting as brakeman.

He was playing Virginius in some place. You will rememeber that Appius Claudius' client, who does the dirty work, comes on in the last act. has a few words with Appius Claudius in prison and then goes of. That is the last that is seen of him in the play. When the curtain fell on this performance of "Virginius" in this small place Warde retired to his dressing room and proceeded to become the Frederick Warde of everyday life. The manager came in.
