is THEPACIFIC SLOPE DRYING UPP

Two writer's in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, Messrs. Garrett and
Iceberg, offer evidence that there is a
progressive drying of the climate on
the Pacific coast. At no very remote
period some of the arid plains of east
ern Oregon were evidently covered
with forests of trees resembling exist
ing species nearer the coast. Mr..
Garrett thinks that with the clearing
away of the present forests, the end of
the redwood as source of lumber will
be at hand, because existing conditions
do not favor its growth.

Garfield Remembered.

B. Fasig, II ran away from school and
enlisted In Garfeld's regiment, the
Forty-second Ohio. Down in eastern
Kentucky, Garfield, who, although
only colonel, was brigade COM
mander,' organized a raid on Pound
Gap, a strong position, and personally
selected detachment from each COM
pany in the regiment to take part in
the attack. 1 wasn't lucky enough to
be selected for the work, but l was
crazy to go, and when the cavalry
started out I borrowed a mule from
the Quartermaster when he wasn't
looking and went with the mounted
troops, who hid me.
"In due season I found my regi-
ment, tied my mule and Joined the
ranks. Well, we took the place. Then
went back to my mule and made
tracks for the camp. 1t was dark, and
lost my way and remained missing
five days. After L returned l was
marched up to Garfield, who examined
me, listened to what had to say and
then sent me to my tent under arrest,
telling me would be court martialed.
Five minutes later boat came down
the river carrying Garfield's commits
sion as a brigadier general and order
ing him to join Thomas with his COM
mand, and in the furry my case was
forgotten

reunion of my regiment in Ashland

he saw me was, Look here, Fasig

MARsYAs.

To struggle bravely, and not least, to know
1t was a god that caused our overthrow;
To feel within US the immortal fire;
What more. forsooth, might earth born bard de-
sire,
What more has life, the niggard, to bestow.
What fate diviner waits US here below
Than this-to live, to strive and to expiref
Thrice happy Marsyas! In the cruel death
The god, ungenerous in his triumph, gave;
Didst thou not smile within thy heart to know
That since he hushed thy music laden breath
And hid thy gold voiced Lutte within the grave,
Apollo knew thee for no paltry foeP

Internal Poisoning Remedies.

"a tablespoonful of ground mustard
in a glass Of warm water, followed by
more warm water. until vomiting oc.
ours, is an excellent elnetic. Common
salt will answer in the absence Of mus
tard. Or glass Of cool water, with o
hesping teaspoonful each of common
salt and ground muttard stirred into it,
is good. The whites Of eggs or cup
full Of strong coffee are antidotes for q
greater number of poifon than any
dozen other articles known, with the
advantage of being easily accessible.
Sweet oil, lamp oil, drippings, melted
butter, or lard are good substitutes,
especially il they are vomited quickly.
Should vomiting continue excessively
after all traces of poison have been
removed, it may often be relieved by
immersing the hands and wrists in as
hot water as can be borne; meanwhile
give the patient clear, cold coffee or
cream Of tartar water.
Watercress, used freely with salt
and vinegar, is an antidote to the in
fuence Of tobacco. A strong decoc.
tion will destroy the poisonous effects

The Rattlesnake's Master.

That story recently published in
the News and Courier about the won
derful weed called the "Ra,tlesnakc' 8
Master" with which the horticultural
department at Clemson College is ex-
perimenting, is not 80 romantic as
many would suppose. TIE weed has
been heard Of all through this section,
and there are people who have actually
known it to prove specific for snake
bite. DR.. Miles Walker, one of the
leading physicians Of this section, is
familiar with the weed and he has
seen it used with success.
"There are two different kinds Of
weed that are known by different peo-
pie as the 'Rattlesnake Master, said
DR.. Walker to the reporter few days
ago. Zone Of them grows up some
thing like the tube rose, with leaves
somewhat longer and broader, and the
other looks like fern. Of the fern
variety, know nothing except that I
have had it pointed out to me as the
weed in question; but Of the other /
have more positive knowledge. Ihave
seen it tested.
"It 'aas over in Union county some
years ago" continued DR.. Walker.
Zone Of my neighbors, Mike Sellers,
of Star Farm, was quiet, easy going
Irishman, Of few words, but Of good
deal of common every day informa-
tion. Passing by his house one day,
I observed an unussal stir among his
people, and going in ! found Mike ly-
ing on the piazza in heavy perspirstion,
with bunch Of herbs lying By HE
side and bucket OF water standing
on the Aoor within easy reach.
"'What is the matter with you,
Mike, / asked.
"Snake bit; that's all, he replied.
"'What kind?'
"'Big old copperhead, about three
feet long, bit me on the calf Of the
leg.
"'You are drinking whiskey for it,
of course?'
NO; doing nothing but eating
that weed and drinking water. I will
be all right after awhile.
Sure enough within about three
hours Sellers had entirely recovered
from the effects of the bite, and felt no
further Inconvenience except slight
faintness which passed away entirely
before the next day. 1 was very deep
ly interested, of course, and at the
first convenient opportunity, took oc-
casion to ask Sellers how the weed af-
fected him. He said that within about
five minutes after chewing up and
swallowing the weed, there came q
burning, irresistible thirst, to cool
which he felt like it would require a
barrel Of water. The more water he
drank the more he wanted, and before
many minutes the perspiration began
to flow freely from every pore. This
was about all there was of it.
Sometime after that concluded
DIR. Walker, ''I was sent for to attend
a case of snakebite-highland mocca-
sin, copperhead, or ratt esnake's COM
panion-the same kind OF snake that
had bitten Sellers. I sent to Sellers
and got some of the 'Rsttlesnake' S
Master which had since begun to
grow in his garden, and had the pa
tient to take it as Sellers had done.
The interval between the bite and the
commencement Of treatment was some
what longer than in the case of Sellers;
but the patient recovered all right,
and there were no bad after effects y

American prejudice may yet do for us

That negro's head and heart are
both right. He is brave man and
dares to speak the truth. l wonder
why the negro papers don't copy that
address. 1t should be scattered
broadcast among their readers and
would do good. But the Atlanta edi-
tors are not on that line. They want
sensation en- northern sympathy.
They are politloians. Politicians and
paachers keep things hot. My friend
Ham, who has been to chautauqua
in Missouri, says he heard lecture
there from Bishop Fowler, on Abra-
ham Lincoln, in which he took occa-
sion to lampoon and scarify us as is
usual up there, and among other
things recharged that old lie that
Governor Brown had offered a reward
Of $4,000 to have William Lloyd Gar
rison kidnapped and brought to Geor-
gia. The bishop ought TO make up o
new stock. These old lies are worn
out. He knew it was o lie when he
repeated it. This is lie for which
there was no excuse and no founda-
ton, but it is good traveller and
preachers can send lie as far as any
body. If the devil, who is the father
of lies, has any preference for sub
iects, think he would choose lying,
slanderous preacher before anybody.
But suppose that wasn't lie; what
good can possibly come of resurrecting
it now? Joe Brown is dead; Garrison
is dead, and maybe they have settled
their own affairs over there. 1 was
Illuminating about the difference be-
tween this white northern bishop and
the black man, President Council, who
made that kind, conciliatory address at
Bismarck, and that brought to mind
the persistent SANDERS of our south
ern hero, Lieutenant Hobson, who
was retired almost to oblivion because
he was southern man. Not long ago
the English government presented to
sailor the annual medal for the
greatest act of individual heroism per-
formed during the year. He had
saved two men at sea when no other
man would dare to attempt it, and the
inquiry was made in a northern paper
as to who was entitled to the medal
in the United States. Why Hobson,
of course. No other act of individual
heroisn will compare with his, but
yankee newspapers and reporters were
jealous of him, just like they are of
Schley, and they magnified few kisses
into thousands and made sport of him.
The yellow journals and the white
ones are all alike for lies on our men.
Suppose the ladies did kiss him end
he submitted 10 it. They are the best
judges Of heroism know Of. He was
sent away 60 Japan, and-a letter from
Miss Benedict in the last Missionary
gives extracts from speech he made
at Kobe to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, that were beautifully
patriotic and full of Christian spirit
and missionary zeal. Maybe Miss

say, but he deserves all that he gets.

A Strange Freak.

Two or three months ago vine of
Ipomoea Setosa which was trained on
a wire back of the house, found a
crevice near the caves and grew
into the room. When it had
made a growth of two or three feet we
pulled it off and threw it out of an
open window on the northwest side Of
the building.
We thought no more Of it for two or
three weeks when one day we noticed
that the vine was alive and growing.
1t soon began to bloom and has set
about a dozen seed pods. This all
seems very strange for the stem that
was thrown out did not rest on the
soil for more than six inches of it's
length. 1t has been very dry most Of
the time During October we had rain
on nineteen days, but on four Of these
there was less than one One-hun-
