CLARKsBURG.

CIARKsBURG, September 5.-The Fair
was great success. On the last day there
were fifteen thousand people in attendance
The directors are all elated, as from the
present returns, it is more than likely that
the receipts will be sufficient to hquidate
all Indebtedness of the society and put il
on sound financial basis. The races and
balloon ascension on the second day were
excellent, but unfortunately it rained on
the third day, preventing the balloon as
cension and many good races. The exhibit
in Floral and Mechanical Hall was good,
and never were there as many horses, cat
tie and sheep shown during the history Of
the society. All our people are happy TO
know that the Association has recovered
from the losses it sustained by the great
flood of July, 1855. 1t will in the future do
all to place 1t among the foremost fairs Of
the country. At the election r. T.

Women as Phxsicians.

Kindred to Ksculapius We're those first
women physicians, Circe and Medea, but
while all honor is attached to the name OF
Hsculapius, Medea and Gree are regarded
with suspicion as enchantresses, dealers in
poisonous drugs and using their knowl-
edge of medicine to further their own per
verse ends. Instead of following a legiti-
mate business as men would do, they spent
their time mixing love philters and prac-
ticing all kinds of sorcery and mischief.
There are those who claim that Circe and
Medea are the types of women physicians,
and that whenever women have engaged
in the healing art, whether in ancient OF
mediBval times, they have always abused
the privilege and degraded the profession
by connecting with it some magic or witch
craft.
1t is to be remembered, however, that
these reports of song and story were writ
ten by men, and in earlier times there may
have been the same antipathy against the
infringement by women of the domain pre-
empted by man that there is in these mod
ern times. Still the witchcraft argument
is not without some force even at the pres
ent time, for although the days of sorcery
are past, the witchery Of attractive women
disguised as ministering angels to the sick
must be admitted to be as potent as ever

The rradeless Peonle Of par,..

In great city like Paris there are thou
sands of persons who have no trade or pro-
fession, and who are obliged to resort to all
sorts of tricks to get their daily bread.
Some manage to accomplish this feat hon
estly, while others work unscrupulously
upon the credulity of their fellows Vau-
devillists and caricaturists repeatedly exer-
else their wit at the expense of the unfor-
tunate ones whom necessity forces into
strange and improbable callings Doubt
less these wits often exaggerate the reality,
but the fact remains that there are quanti-
ties of poor wretches here who really get
their living by pursuing the queerest and
most ingenious occupations.
If you question one of these tradeless in
dividuals upon his manner of living he
will reply, "Oh, l have dodger' 1t is
very rare that he will consent to give you
more ample explanations. For common
mortals his way of procuring food, clothing
and lodging is decidedly enigmatical
These men who invent '.dodges'' generally
live in furnished lodgings, where the
chambers contain several beds
A "dodger" divines, so to speak, man
who is in the same line of business, and the
similarity of their characters unites them
on common footing. They club together
to get rid of the strange merchandise that
others have invented. The one who creates
does not reveal his manner of inventing to
his partner, and this one in his turn con-
ceals as well as he'can the profits obtained
by the sale. The mistrust is reciprocal.
The principal dodgers are the street ped
dlers who hawk about the thousand and
one ingenious toys that are constantly in
vented in this great city, who sell newspa-
pers when they have few francs in their
pocket to buy stock from the wholesale
dealers in Rue du Croissant or who traffic
in theater tickets, during the evening"

A Dogs SymDatlhY.

Saturday afternoon case of remark
able sympathy on the part of dog was
witnessed on Church street, near the
postofice. A small dog strayed out into
the street and was run over by passing
vehicle. He was not permanently Grip
pied, but appeared hurt across the back
and at first lay bowling and squirming
in the street. Another dog of an entire
ly different breed was standing on the
sidewalk when the accident occurred
Promptly he went to the assistance of
his injured companion, and by pushing
him with his nose aided him in rising,
and then escorted him to the sidewalk
with every possible demonstration of
mute sympathy, and stood by him until
the partly paralyzed animal was able to
hobble off. Persons who witnessed it
expressed astonishment at the unusual
spectacle West Chester (Pa.) News.

The Caves of Corsica.

Travellers and scientists are greatly in
terested in the recent discovery of wonder
full caves on the island of Corsica. A miner
who undertook to explore them few
weeks ago found it impossible to do SO. He
discovered various small caves close to-
gether which led to IA mammoth cave some
distance from the original openings. The
roof of the mammoth cave was between
sixty and seventy feet high. After travel
ing underground for some time he came
upon an immense lake, which made fur
ther progress impossible.
According to his estimates, the lake is
situated under the mountain chain La Re-
vellata, near CalYa, and gets its water
from the ocean. In support of his theory
small grotto was discovered on Cape Re-
vellata, on level with the sea, which is
believed to be connected with the caves.
The length of the caves along the coast is
estimated at thirty miles. A society of sa-
wants has been formed to explore the place
thoroughly this summer. : Philadelphia

The "pis of the Rushes." I"

In Ireland the lizard is called 'aire
luichair," which, literally translated,
means "the pig of the rushes." 1t is held
in great esteem for it's curative powers.
When caught the person who is anxious to
receive the curative power takes the aire
luichair in his hand and licks the creature
all overhead, feet, belly, legs, sides and
tail-and the tongue of the person who
thus licks the aire luichair is said to ever
afterward possess the power OF taking the
pain and sting out of burn.
The aire luichair crawling across the
throat of one suffering with quinzy, or the
hands of 81 person who has licked or even
recently handled one of the little creatures,
Is Thought to be "A sovereign remedy for
that disease. There is also a prevailing
idea that the aire luichair is always on the
watch to crawl down the throat of any per-
son who happens to fall asleep out of doors.

How to kin the Rose Rnr.


The editor of the Rura, New Yorke,
announces that he has just discovered q
sure way of killing the rose bug or rose
chafer without injury to foliage. The
bug has increased rapidly in the last few
years and has devastated thousands of
vineyards. The editor says:
Experiments made during the present
week prove that this insect cannot sur
vive temperature of over 120 degs.
Fahrenheit. The next step was to ascer-
tain if this method of destruction could
be put to an easy, practicable use.
Water was heated to ITO degs. and
poured into pail. A small hand force
pump, with eight feet of hose and a half
inch iron tube of five feet (thirteen feet
in alp, terminating with cyclone noz-
zle, was then used to force the water
upon the rose chafers of the magnolia
flowers, in one of which there were not
less than $50 of them. The first spray
upon the beetles was shown by the ther-
mometer to be 100 degs.
The rose bugs receiving the direct
spray were dead in about one minute.
The others recovered. The temperature
of the water was then raised SO that the
mercury rose to 140 degs. when the ther-
mometer was placed within two inches
of the nozzle. This was sprayed into a
partly open magnolia flower containing
fifty or more beetles. All were almost
instantly killed. Neither foliage mol
flowers were injured.
