WEEDS MARVELLOUS CURES.
Mountnineer Finds Simple Remedy
for Bite of Mad Dogs
and Snakes.

A mountaineer named Vincent, who
lives on Lookout mountain near Dur
ham, Ga, strobe into that village to find
it excited over the appearance of a mad
dog. He drove the villagers indoors,
and, unarmed, awaited the coming of
the dog, which, after desperate strug
gle, he strangled. Applying to the
wounds poisonous weed known to the
mount aineers as gall of the earth, he
was healed. To further demonstrate
the curative properties of the weed, he
permitted copperhead and rattle
snake to bite him and was successfully
healed. He went to a picnic at Lulu lake
on Lookout mountain with three rat
tlesnakes. In the presence of the crowd
ne worried the snakes, making them
bite him until they would do so no more.
He finally put his tongue in the snakes
mouth. He begged those present to let
the snakes bite them, guaranteeing a
cure. A newspaper correspondent paid
Vincent so cents to show him the weed,
but he declined to try it's merits. A
young man present, however, did so,
and after being struck twice by the
snake, applied the weed to the bite and
ate portion of it, no bad effect re-
sulting. The ignorant mountaineers
are excited over vincent's acts, and
think him possessed of supernatural
powers. On Saturday he cured young
man who was attacked by copper
head, although it was two hours be-
fore he reached him. A pointer dog be-
longing to citizen of Chattanooga,
while hunting, was bitten by copper
head. An application of the weed and
small portion mixed in milk cured the
dop

A NEW MOTOR.
Invention of a German-Heat En-.
essy Turned Directly Into Mo-
ton By Electricity.

From Germany comes the design of a
remarkable motor that turns heat en-
ergy directly into motion through tho
intermediary action of electricity. The
machine Is called thermo-electric mo-
tor, and works on the familiar principle
Of the electric motor somewhat mod
flied to meet the peculiar exigencies Of
the case. In action it is essentially an
electric motor, but one driving its cleo
trical energy from heat applied to it
through thermo-electric couples. A
thermo-electric couple is composed of
two dissimilar metals, such as iron and
copper. Any complete circuit made of
two metals must necessarily have two
functions Of the two in it.
It one of these functions is heated
more than the other an electric current
will flow in the circuit, its amount and
direction depending on the nature Of
the two metals, the difference in tenn
perature between the two functions
and the resistance it encounters in its
path. On the motor machine the
couples are made of iron and nickel,
firmly brazed together. They are ar
ranged like the windings of the ordi-
nary electric motor, with one set OF
functions brought conveniently to tho
surface, where gas jets play upon them.
The other set are cooled by rapid cir
culation of air about them, engendered
by the rotation of the machine. While
the motor is Of no practical value, it is
an exceedingly interesting exemplifi-
cation Of the ease with which energy
may be transformed and retransformed
through the variousforms of heat, cleo
tricity and motion.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way the cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflama-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine cas-
es out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.

Friendships said to be out of date
certainly have not much time tc
| spare nowadays
even to reflect on
| what the rush and
hurry and hustle of modern life are
costing US. Now and again, however,
says the Chicago Record, there is
borne in upon us the sad realization of
the losses we sustain as we tear and
scramble through what we now call
life. And is not one of these the power
of establishing close friendships2 1t
is sad reflection, but the more we
think of it the truer we shall find it to
be, that we no longer have time to knit
together those bonds of true friend
ship and affection which bound our
predecessors together and made life
sweet to them. We are always in a
hurry, rushing here and there; we meet
and know many people in crowds, and
yet never have time to understand
them, to give them or gain from them
sympathy; we can scarcely spare an
hour that is unconnected with some
form of entertainment or some bust
ness matter to those we call our closest
friends. Letter writing has been re-
duced toits least common denominator,
as time presses on us so heavily, and
we have no pursuits that we can share
with our so-called friends that enable
us to study each others characters
Friendship, in fact, has become mere
term with the general run of people.
