Queer Cures of Country Folks.

"When it comes to superstition" re-
marked the doctor the other evening,
there's nothing that can beat the su-
perstition about medicine and cures
generally.
There's the average Arkansan, for
instance. He thinks that a coal oil
poultice is good for sore throat. AS
soon as his throat gets sore he binds
about it a poultice of coal oil. 1t peels
the skin all off his neck, but he believes
that it has cured him just the same.
Then the Mississippian doses himself
for impure blood with teas made of
hemlock leaves, plantain and all mani
ner of unpleasant weeds. The result is
a bad stomach, but the patient keeps up
his treatment and thinks it as good as
anything a regular practitioner would
have given him.
I'm Pike county, Pa, some years ago
found a number of people maintain
ing that the one and only thing for a

en- in halves and lay on the wound the
half containing the heart They hold
that the chicken would adhere to the
bite and suck out the poison, turning
as the venom entered it. a horrible

Mark TWatn'S Presence of Mind.
Once when he was q pilot on the
Mississippi Mark Twain sat with a
crowd of men around a wood stove in
a village store. Presence Of mind was
being discussed, and nearly everybody
had a story about presence Of mind to
relate. Twain said:
"Boys, through my presence of mind

room late at night when l heard fire
bells. 1 strolled cut to see where the
fire was, and soon I came to brick
house that was burning hard.
"An old man leaned half way out
Of the fourth story window, and the
red flames lit up his long white hair
and beard. Help! Help he hOllered.
Help! Helpv And he waved his arms
around his head making wild gestures.
Everybody in the crowd below
seemed paralyZed. No ladder was
long enough to reach the old man. The
firemen said if he stayed up there he
would be burned to death and if he
| Jumped he would be crushed fat.
"But 1, with my presence of mind
came TO his rescue. l rushed forward
and yelled for rope. The rope was
brought to me- threw the old man
the end. He caught it. told him tc
tie it around his waist He did so, and
