Shoes BACKED by Elcotrlclty.

Many are the uses to which electricity
will be applied within tho next few years !;
many Of them unheard of and many of
them now deemed improbable. A few
years ago no man would have supposed
that the day would come whom electricity
would be harncsscd to shoe brush and
used for the plcbeian task of shining
boots. Yet on Clark street, near tho
county building, there is narrow base.
mcnt where for five cents you can have
your boots BACKED by electricity. This
electrical brush is like big lamp cleaner
in its shape, and is fastened to wire
which carries the electrical current. The
operator applies the backing and then
presses his foot on button. The brush
reyolves so rapidly that in very short
time the shine is secured. Tho scnsa-
ton of tho trush passing over tho foot is
peculiar one, but not Objectionable.
The conspicuous feature of the affair 10
the noise that it makes while revolving
over the foot. A railway train passing
over culvert could not DO much more
impressive. Chicago Post.

Dee Stings for Rheumatism.

DIR. Labouibene, at the meeting Of
the French chronological Society, held
on March IS, 1889, gave q short abstract
of paper published in 1883 by an Aus
trian physician, DIR. Tere, who seems to
have made extended experiments for g
number of years. DR.. Tere asserts that
a,person stung by bees acquires thereby
a relative immunity from the conse-
quences of subsequent stings; in other
words, that the virus of the bee sting
acts like VAGINAL incubation against
its own poison. The immunity lasts six
months, sometimes less, probably accord
ing to the number of stings inflicted on
person. Persons suffering from acute
rheumatism require q larger number of
bee stings to feel the usual effect of the
poison, but as soon as by incubation of
a sufficient amount OF virus they have nc
quired immunity against its effect, they
villas long as this immunity lasts-bc
free from rheumatic attacks. DR.. La
boulbene suggests that, in the interest of
medical science, it would be we'll to
thoroughly test these ssertions.-Insect

Tho Death Plant.

The Farmers Magazine, published OF
Parkorsburg, Penn, contains tho follow
ing;
A magnificent kali mujah, or death.
plant of Java, has recently been received
hero by Mrs. Madiso:> 9iack. Tho speci-
men, which is tho only living one TINT
has been brought to this country, was
sent Mrs. Black by her brother, Jeroma
airy to the island. Tho kali mujah is
found only in the volcanic districts of
java and Sumatra, and then but rarely,
1t grows from two 10 three and a half
feet in height, with long, slender Stone
armed with thorns nearly an inch long,
and covered with broad, satin-smooth
leaves of heart shape and of delicate
emerald on one side, aud blood rcd,
streaked with cream, on che other.
The flowers of tho death plants aro
largo, milk-whito and cup-lilSc, being
about the size and depth of large cof-
fee cup and having the rim guarded by
fine, briar-liko thorns. Tho popularity
of the plant lies in these flowers, which,
beautiful rs they are, distill continually
q deadly perfume so powerful as tc over
come, If inhaled any length of time, o
full grown man, and killing all forms of
insect life approaching it. The perfume,
though more pungent, is Us sickingly
sweet rs chloroform, which 1t greatly rc-
scmbles in effect, producing insensibility,
but convulsing at tho same time tho
muscles of the face, especially those
about tho mouth and eyes, drawing the
| former up into grin. An inhalation is
followed by violont headache and ring
ing in the cars, which gives way to q
temporary deafness, often total while il
lasts.
Other plants seem to shun tho kali
mujah, which might DO termed tho Ish-
mael of tho vegetable kingdom, for it
grows isolated from every other form OF
vegetation, though tho soil may BIO for
tile. All insects and birds instinctively
seem to avoid all contact with it, but
when accidentally approaching it have
been observed to drop to tho earth, even
when as fur from it as three feet, aud
unless at once removed soon dies, OWN
cling the same symptoms us when ether
lied.
MIR. Hendricks, who writes, describing
how he secured the specimen sent his sis
ter, says he discovered it first by seeing
bird of paradise he was endeavoring tt
capture alive fnll, stunned by tho deadly
odor of the kali mujah, and on examin.
ing the plant, though warned by the ma
tives to let it alone, himself experienced
] the headache and commissions which are
] its inyaris5lay
