AN EFFECTIVE MAIDSTONE.
How 1t Adheres to the Body and Suck
Ont All the Poison.

How 1t Adh1res to the Body and Sucks
Out All the Poison.
Nearly every one has heard more or
less about madstones and the wonderful
cures with which they are credited in
saving life where person had been Bit
ten by mad dog. Many regard these
stones as a mere superstition, but statis-
tics go to prove that they really do con-
tain many wonderful properties. Mad
stones are seldom heard of anywhere ex-
cept in the southern states, where they
are quite common, and most of the peo-
pie of that section place great faith in
them. Mrs. J. NJ. Parks, lady resid-
ing in this city, is the possessor OF one
of these remarkable stones, and report
err called on her tolearn something about
them.
Eyes," she said when questioned on
the subject, II have maidstone and
have had it many years. My husband
found it near Magnesia Springs, Fla. l
have only had occasion to use it three or
four times since it has been in my pos
session, and each time the best results
followed. The reason that l have not
used it often is that never hear of a case
where person has been bitten by mad
dog until | see it in the paper, and then
it has always been stated that the pa
tent has been taken with commissions.
1t is too late to use the maidstone then.
Spasms do not generally appear until
about nine days after the person is bit
ten, and if the stone is applied any time

will be entirely drawn out by it.
1.-THE worst case ever cured with my
maidstone happened when a policeman
here in the city, named Price, was Bit
ten on the hand by mad dog. His arm
had swollen up to three or four times its
natural size and had turned black. The
man was suffering the most excruciat-
ing agony, and his physicians had de-
SPARED of his life. / accidentally heard
of his case and at once hurried to the
house with my maidstone. The doctor
consented to give it trial, and the re-
suit was that the man recovered and is
now walking around the streets as well
as ever"
Upon the reporters asking if he might
see the stone Mrs. Parks Immediately
produced it, remarking as she did 30,
at does not look nearly as powerful as
it really is"
1t is a little, porous, chalklike sub
stance about an inch long, half an inch
wide and quarter of an inch thick
and appeared to be sort of vegetable
compound.
THE process of applying the mad
stone, continued Mrs. Parks, sis very
slnple and somewhat similar to vaccina-

North Colorado and parts of Wyoming
and Montana are genuine mines of pet
rifactions. There are petrifactions of
every kind, including many varieties of
wood, ferns and plants, fish, toads,
snails, frogs, serpents, shelltish and OBJ
jects which cannot be classified. The
deposits often occur in layers, as though
some great natural convulsion had de-
stroyed the animal life of whole dis
trict at once. The scientists make very
few and tolerably weak attempts to ex-
plain the singular phenomenon, and the
fact is evident that they know no more
about the matter than do the men who
pick out the best specimens and sell
them to tourists. Chicago Herald.

CLOSURE them into an in
closure just large enough to accommo-
date them with comfort Have the in
closures built SO one can drive around
all four sides and throw the grain in. In
feeding swill or loose grain to large
herd of hogs we noted novel and sue
cessful experiment at distillery in one
of the southern states. Matted grain
was fed almost exclusively. A funnel
shaped Enclosure was built as is shown
in this diagram.
Dimensions-Height of fences, four
rails; length of closed end, 10 feet;
width of entrance, 100 feet; length OF
sides, 200 feet; capacity, 410 head The
inclosure should be built larger or small
er. as the herd would require. Troughs
of 2 inch hard wood plank were con-
structed upon the ground on the inside
of fences. Over the top of troughs and
slanting inward were heavy plank with
diamond shaped holes, the dots in the
illustration representing these holes cut
in the plank 10 inches apart. Two hogs
could not eat from the same hole at
once, for as the hog would root into the
trough the hole would be closed.
The feeders drove a team and swill
wagon around the Enclosure with the
feed and threw it in over slanting
plank, as in any ordinary trough, the
eating plank being raised above the
feeding plank. By this method no feed
is wasted. This Enclosure takes more
room than many ordinary ways, but
there is considerable saving in feed. By
making the Enclosure funnel shaped the
hogs are easily driven in. This Enclosure
also answers the purpose for feeding
corn in the ear Stout Stats foot apart
may be nailed across the feed trough
and used in place of the boards contain
ing the diamond shaped holes. Care
should be used in distributing the food
at regular intervals in the troughs SC
that each hog would get its proper share

A Curious Fatality.

A curious fatality seems to have at
tached itself to the family of Captain
Wilson, the African fighter. All the
members of it that have died have been
the victims Of accident or violence, ex-
cept his mother, who succumbed to an
attack of paralysis. The husbands of two
of Captain Wilson's sisters were drowned,
as were two brothers in South Africa.
There remains now the eldest son, DR..

ton. You select some part of the body
between the bite and the heart and with
a sharp knife scrape the skin till the
blood comes, then apply the stone to the
raw spot. The stone will adhere imme-
diately, and its drawing qualities are so
great that it will almost bury itself in
the flesh, sucking ont the poison until all
the pores of the stone are filled with the
deadly virus. The stone then drops off
of its own accord, and after being thor
oughly cleansed with milk, warm water
and soap is applied again. This is kept
MP till the stone refuses to stick, thereby
showing that all the poison has been
drawn out. st. Louis Globe-Democrat

Korean Use For Human Hair

Human hair is in great demand in
some of the countries of Europe, and the
supply is said to be inadequate. Our
consul in Korea points out that there is
plenty and to spare in the Hermit King
dom. 1.-THE Koreans" he adds, "have
remarkably fine heads of hair, and they
put their 'combings' to use that l have
never seen elsewhere. A very large
number of the saddlecloths placed under
the packs of their ponies are made of
hair woven into coarse mats or bags, and
the halters and head ropes Of their ami
mails are largely composed of the same
material. l believe that human hair is
largely exported from China to Europe,
and Korea could furnish large and
cheap supply did the people know there
there was a demand for it." Here's a
chance for some pioneer of commerce.
