Curing q Snake Bite.

As is we'll known. the copperhead is
one OF the most poisonous snakes. yet
j. e. Trout, who was bitten by one
three miles from Trimble, Tenn, expe-
rienced no serious effects, owing to the
remedy he used, which is an uncommon
one. He was out hunting, and when a
couple of miles from home was bitten
ON tho ankle. He at once started for
home, and OH the way chewed and
swallowed what tobacco he had When
he reached his house, some fresh red
popcorn root was procured, and with
tho milky juice which exudes fom it a
stripe was made around his leg Just be-
low the knee. The leg swelled up to
the mark and no farther, but it finally
became SO tightly swollen and painful
that the juice was washed of and an
other mark made with it around his
thigh. The swelling gradually climbed
mp to the new mark. giving him relief.
and he recovered without using any
other remedy. Chicago Tribune.

in the case that Mrs. Gardiner has been
spirited away by thieves who were at
tracted by the large sum Of money and
valuable jewelry she carried. while some

secured for dissection purposes. When
Mrs Gardiner was in Boston she did not
