Queer Cure. 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 1t 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 man
ner of unpleasant weeds. The result is
a bad stomach, but the patient keeps up
his treatment and thinks 1t as good as
anything a regular practitioner would
have given him.
'In Pike county, Pa, some years ago
! found a number Of people maintain
ing that the one and only thing for a
rattlesnake bite was to cut live chick
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 1t, a horrible
green.
"And the odd thing about all this"
concluded the doctor, Ifs that people
will take the most unpleasant medi-
cines when they prescribe them them
selves, whereas they would kick like
mules If they were administered by a
regular physician. n."-Philadelphia Press.

Mark rwain,s Presence of Mind.


Once when he was a pilot on the
Mississippi Mark Twain sat with a
crowd Of men around wood stove In
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

goom late at night when I heard fire
bells. I strolled out to see where the
fire was, and soon / came to a 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! Helpp 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

"But i, with my presence of mind,
came to his rescue. I rushed forward
and yelled for rope. The rope was
brought to me. I threw the old man

tie 1t around his waist. He did 80, and
I pulled him down."

Of the atmosphere, which these ex-
perienced mariners soon perceive and
are warned By. But oftentimes a YES

may have to be towed to safety by her

is that the submerged section Of .

current the mass moves steadily
against wind and sea and crashes into
the craft before she can escape The
same circumstances cause the remark

De Foe. story About England


De Foe, the author of Robinson Cru
sea-" travelled through the great east.
ern marshes of England in 1722. He
records that in that damp part of the
world 1t was common to meet with a
man who had had from Ave to fifteen
wives. Indeed he says that some had
more. De Foe adds that merry fellow,
who had himself had about score of
wives, told him that the men Of the
marshes, being seasoned to the damp
climate, took little harm from 1t, but
that they went into the "hilly country
for their wives. when they took the
young lasses out Of the wholesome
and fresh air, they were healthy, fresh
and clear and we'll But when they
came out of their native air into the
marshes among the fogs and damp,
there they presently changed their
compilations, got an ague or two and
seldom held It above half a year or a
year at the most" One wife was sac
rihced, another was procured, and so
the process went on. De Foe is careful
to state that his merry informer ''fib-
bed little," at least concerning bis
own wives, but he declares that the
general statement is perfectly true.

wives Must work In Japan.

AS an example Of the humble atti-
tude Of the Japanese wife Mrs. Hugh
Fraser relates this incident: "A mid
die aged man on the upper floor was
suffering terribly from heat, and his
little wife seemed greatly distressed
about him. All the screens had been
opened, but it was a breathless day,
and no breeze came to ring the little
glass bells on the hanging fern wreath
on the veranda. The man sat with
his head in his hands groaning, while
madam, kneeling on the mats behind
him, famed his back and from time
to time rubbed him down with a blue
towel, an expression of the deepest re-
spect and sympathy on her face. When
he seemed little better she busted
herself with preparing tea, which he
drank eagerly and of course made him
self frightfully hot again, when she
went back patiently to her tanning and
rubbing"

Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion which occurred
in Ireland in 179S, or 1t may be in
1903, Kilkenny was garrisoned by a
troop of Hessian soldiers who anus
ed themselves In barracks by tying
two cats together by their tails and
throwing them across a clothesline to
fight. The officer, hearing Of the cruel
practice resolved to stop it. AS he
entered the room one of the troopers,
seizing sword, cut the tails in two
as the animals hung across the line.
The two cats escaped. minus their tails,
through the open window, and when
the officer inquired the meaning of the
two bleeding tails being left in the
room he was coolly told that two cats
had been fighting and had devoured
each other, all but the tails.
