A reputable inhsbitant Of the rattlesnake
haunted region along the upper valley of the
Delaware river, Sullivan county, N. j..
now states that there is . known antidote
for the poison of a rattlesnake's bite which
has been in use in his part of Sullivan
county for 80 or 80 years He SAYS 1t was
obtained by John Geer, the first permanent
settler of Long Eddy, from half-breed In
dian, who occupied little hut on the Penn
sylvania bank of the river almost 100 wears
ago. The remedy was the frequent applica-
tion to the wounded part of the bruised
roots of the plant popularly known as
"lion's heart" which resembles the milk
weed, and the drinking freely of tea made
from the arrow-leaved violet, known in
botany as V. sagittata The correspondent
who has communicated this remedy further
states that he has known personally of six
individuals bitten by rattlesnakes who
have been cured by it, and he has never
known failure to cure when it was admin
istered

A CAT OF CHARACTER

How She Saved . Helpless Young Wren
From . Hungry Reptile.
In the mountain districts of Pennsyl-
vania, says the Brandon Bsicksas0, two wrens
had built their nest under the caves of an
old farm house, and there they reared a
small and interesting family. Among the
attaches of the farmers household was a
white cat, and when the wrens became so
tame that they used to hop around the pi-
azza in search of crumbs, the cat would lie in
wait for them, and several times came with
in an ace of catching the adult birds
When the farmer noticed this he kicked the
cat, and she finally learned that it was dan
gerous to fool with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger one of
them one day fell out of the nest. and,
being too weak to run and unable to fly,
lay helpless on the grass. The cat saw the
accident and ran rapidly to seize the bird,
but, seeming to remember the lesson
taught her, when she reached the helpless
little thing she only touched it dainty with
her paw and then laid down and watched it.
Presently there came black and yellow
garden snake toward the fiuttering birding.
The cat was doing and was awakened by
the futtering of the bird. Instantly she
rose and struck at the reptile with her paw.
This was an enemy the snake did not ap-
preciate. but it was hungry, so it darted
forward and attempted to seize the bird un-
der the very shelter of the cats head.
Like flash the cat seized the snake Just
back of the head and killed it with one bite.
When the farmer happened along in the
afternoon he found the cat crouchlng in the
grass sheltering'th the bird, and ten feet away
was the dead snake. This made it clear
that the cat had carried the bird away from
the snake, and the young adventurer was
soon restored to its anxious parents

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE prsrArcH.I
CHICAGO, July 1.-Of all the women
connected with the Worlds Fair movement
in a consequential way, the subject of the
photograph I send is the youngest, fairest
and perhaps the most talented. A dainty
little creature barely 20 years old and
scarcely looking her yearsl Her peachy
skin, big. round, blue eyes looking out
from under fringe of jolly little curls that
constitute the prevailing bang, give her an
air of immaturity which would sug-
gest the doll baby type were not the inner
force of the little woman SO plainly and
radiantly expressed in her countenance.
Her manner is swe< and unaffectedly
simple. The alteration from an obscure
school girl to noted sculptress of Amer
lea has had no noticeable effect upon Miss
Rideout
At present she Is working away '1ike any
other man" at Jackson Park completing
her groups designed for the woman's build
ing Although her work does not in the
least suggest masculinity, yet even while
watching her about it one finds 1t hard to
realize that it is the work of such little
hands
She Comes From the Golden Gate.
But to begin at the beginning: Miss Alice
Rideout is born of American parents, a
native Of California Although she first
saw the light in Marysville she belongs to
San Francisco, for she lived in the Golden
Gate City since she was years old, and all
her artistic training has been acquired there
Her talent for sculpture was developed un-
der the well-known Rupert Schmidt, and
thereby hangs tale that is too intensely
romantic to expect a woman to refrain from
repeating.
1t seems Miss Rideout had large dog
that commonly accompanied her when out
walking, and one morning when upon one
OF their strolls they passed Mr.. Schmidt's

the lovely landscape stretched before him,

side the faces of tho old masters OF music,
Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn and the
rest, will set his harmoniS in lofty ideals
The pictures are not hanging separately,
but are set in the wall in irregular spaces, q
uniform molding outlining each. On
the opposite wall is mantel
with an odd japanese musical In
strument standing before it, whose hammers
struck. give out a curious twang in har-
monious discord; other instruments from
Egypt, Arabia, and various remote corners
of the globe amplify the musical expression
of humanity, and musical curios and brioa-
brac adorn mantel and hanging cabinet
shelves. The frieze of the room is the staff
in black lines on a gold ground, and around
its sides is written in black notes o sweet
tune quickly read by the music learned,
while across the deep crimson silk curtains
q black velvet staff similarly sets forth In
velvet notes a briefer but not less sweet
strain.

A VOYAGE TO FRISCO IN '5s.

| Some Marvellous Experiences Of Charles
Prosch, One Of Thousand Passengers.
Charles Prosch, OF Seattle, has been re-
calling his marvellous experience of the
voyage from New York to San Francisco,
begun in September, 1858, says the New
York World He sailed on the steamer Illi-
nois, Captain Hartstein, from the foot OF
Liberty street, and was one Of thousand
passengers, surprising number for that
dav.
Mr.. Prosch paints shocking picture of
the degradation of the women of Jamaica,
where the Pacific Mail steamers made the r
first stop; describes Aspinwall. now Colon,
as most unattractive town at the Atlantic
terminus of the trans-Isthmian railroad,
then in process of construction, and relates
amusing incidents of the journey over the
Isthmus by boats to Gorgona and by donkey
back to Panama.
On account of shoal water the steamer
John L Stephens had to lie two miles from
the shore in the harbor of Panama and the
gold seekers were ferried through several
hundred yards of shoal water to her boats
The Captain OF the John L. Stephens
Robert L. Pearson by name, treated all
hands to champagne, according to Mr..
Prosch, to celebrate the fair weather, and
thereupon it at once began to storm aud the
virtuous elements sternly rebuked him. MI.
Prosch concludes:
'oTo this day retain vivid recollection
of the last hot, sultry, enervating and un-
comfortable summer spent in New York
City,"
And to think that In those DAYS there
were no negligee shirts, no russet shoes and
no Remsen coolersl

knowledge that she BY birth and law
stood first she was swift to let him know
that, under religious rules and prayer book
endorsements, she was his inferior and had
no objection to such position.
| william Said Nothing for Ton Years
History tells us that for over nine years
| William 'ths Silent" suffered under this
supposed grievance without word and that
Mary never knew what was the matter with
him until Bishop Burnet enlightened her as
to the cause of his Jealousy. A married
man silent for nearly ten years as to his
| position in the house and cross all the time
because first honors were not awarded to
him is something of wonder. When
| Mary found out that all that hurt William
was the idea that she, and not he, was boss
OF Britain, she sacrificed, of course, politi-
| cal to domestic bliss.
Grant, in our day, has gained the title of
'the man of silence" He rever gave him
self away by his tongue. He kept himself
quiet, smoked cigars and said nothing.
When making him commander of the army
OF the Potomac, Lincoln was governed by
his silence rather than his speech. "This
man has got something in him" was his
thought-not inspired by speeches made by
Grant-but by his silent action. Grant
never gave himself to expression in words

welfare of his family.
Why Grant Wrote His Book.
With those he loved provided for he
would have gone down to the grave without
q book upon which his individuality was
stamped. Even with 1t there is little known
of the man. He was silent unto tie grave.
He gave the few events of his life, the little
environments from whence grew the hero,
but the solid background of silence as to
his inner life is there after all-never to be
disclosed.
Henry Ward Bsecher, with all his SER
mons, his speeches, his lectures, was a silent
man as the articles written by his wife
show.
Quay has made his name the synonym for
silence. Addition, division and silence"
will be marked upon his political tomb
stone, however his other virtues may be
lauded and magnifed.
But after all, silence is not rare virtue
All men talk, though they may say nothing.
The eloquence of silence is often times be-
yond speech. The old god whose feet "were
shod with silence" is still good god for
very many people. BESSIE BRAMBLE
