iroiiun, bus iu IiIh posscHsiou one of the
must cnrloua aim wnni lie assorts to be
oue of tho most UNofal and valuable of
articles, it is wiiut m Known aa a uin
oese suulfo stono, and there is auid to be
bnt oua thur iu tho country. Indood
the oue in Mr. Sprudley's possession ia
bat bitlf a one, the original having boon
tut iu two by Mr. Sprudley and half of
it given to a friend. In appeurunco the
itoue looks like a small piece of oblong
ihapvd cauui'l coal and is about oue
lighth of uu inch iu thickness, throo
eigliths of an inch wide and half an
Inch long. It is as light iu weight aa a
piece of cork, possossia a polishod sur
face and can be easily cut with a kuife.
It is uot a stone, iu the proper House of
the word, but is a manufactured article
mil in of a porous texture.
To cure snnko bites or poisonous
wounds of a similar unture with the
"stone" the wound must first bo scari
fied. Thou the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is taken off and put into a glass of luke
warm water to remain a few moments
uutil it discharges the poison it has ab
sorbed Thou, ufter the wound has been
washed iu a strong solution of salt wa
ter and again scarified, the stone, which
iu the meantime bns been rubbed in
warm ashes until dry, ia aguiu applied.
If this treatment ia kept up for nine
days aud the patient abstains during
that time from spirituous liquors a cu'O
Is assured.
"I secured the stone, "said Mr. Sprad
ley, "from my fathor more than 80 years
ago. Ho got it from James J. Parker,
the man who made it From 1874 to
1877 1 was with the party which was put
ting through the Texas Pacific railroad,
aud during that time cured several of
the party who wore bitten by rattlers
and other poisonous snakes. I have fre
quently loaned the stouo to frionds, and
I cut the original iu two, giving half of
it to a particular frieud of mine. I have
uot used the stone for some time, but
em ready to give a tost of its merits at
any time.
"It is, you see, not properly a stone,
but is a manufactured substance of a por
ous nature. The theory possessed by
many that so called 'mudstoues' are
fouud in the stomachs of animals is all
nousonse. They are ull manufactured in
a manner similar to this, and it is sim
ply thoir 'drawing' powers aud their
porousness and consequent capacity for
absorption Unit renders thorn valuable. "

r CARVED IN THE BARK.
A Clump of Tree I' poo Which Appeared
tha Nunc of Hur Soldier.
"I don't quite understand, and I nev
er could," said an observer, "what
prompts people to write their names in
pnblio places. Trees have always been
favorite objects upon which to carve
names, and the smooth bark of the
beech offers a field most inviting to the
knife of the carver. I saw once a bunch
f beech trees upon which thousands of
Dames had been cut This was in Vir
ginia, close by the left bank of the
James river. A ravine made baok from
tho river, and at the head of this ravine
(here was a spring. Around the spring
was this clump of beech trees.
"The names carved on these trees
were those of soldiers who hud been en
tamped thereabout in the time of tho
civil war and who had come to this
spring for water. It was in 1879 that I
euw them, so that they must have been
there then at least 14 year They had
probably been there longer. About a
third of the uninea were still legible.
Many of them were the names of men
of Pennsylvania regiments. Those that
bud becohie illegible were mainly those
that had been carved on smaller treoa.
"There was one big tree that had up
on it, I should think. 600 names. They
encircled it for 20 feet up from the
gronud. It seemed as if sotue of those
among the highest must have been cut
by men who BWung down from tho first
branch, and one could imagine that
men stood on one another's shoulders to
reach above the names already carved
by men standing on the ground, or that
perhaps there was led up beside the
tree a horse upon whose back the carver
stood.
"These names may have been carved,
every one of them, simply aa a pastime,
and yet it seemed somehow as though
this was a case in which the carving
might have been done in something
more than a merely idle spirit" New
York Sun.

WEDDED TO GOLF.
John McLeuuan had lain fur many
months on a bed of sickness. All sum
mer he had been deprived of his walks
into the green Holds and up the bunks of
the Tuy, but as the summer died and
autumn reigned supreme he was sensi
ble of a change for the bettor.
Now, let it be known that John was
a crack golfer, aud us he lay racked with
pain his mind often wandered op the
Inch, aud he would count his imaginary
strokes as ho weudod his way from hole
to hole.
Early in August be bad recovered so
far as to be able to tuke a turn round
the doors, but he soon got tired aud
was glad to return to bis armchair by
the fireside.
It was, therefore, a surprise In more
ways than oue to bis gudo wifo when,
oue Sunduy morning toward the end of
August, be rose between 6 and 6 o'clock
and said he was going a round of the
golf course.
"John McLennan," said his aston
ished wife, "are ye mad? D'yo keu this
is the Lord's day? An yon an elder o'

"Nance," said John quietly, as ho
got his sticks ready, "I'm weel aware
o' what day this is, an I ken I'm an

it 11 no' bo oooutit a sin to play a bit

Mrs. McLennan said no more, and
John awoke Bobbie, bis eldest son,

He was bis father's only "caddie. "
"Come awa, laddie. Oh, ye noedua

Bobbie.
"Aye, luddie," replied his father,
"but in throe. I'll need four for this

"It's no' here, faither," Bobbie said
as he looked all ovor the green.

Bobbie ventured.

They tell a story of an unfortunate so
olety woman, who, being terribly pushed
for a gown to wear at a great ocoasion,
sold seven gowns for tbe price ot one to
Mine. X Among these gowns Was one
hardly rumpled, and which, though
very magnificent, had evidently been
worn at most only onoe. This dress
Mme. X. sold as a model to Mme. Y.,
who was the society woman's dress
maker, and who had been obdurate
about making another thing for the poor
little woman without cash down.
When this "model" osme in, she
saw a chance for big return of money,
so she compromised with bor customer
and agreed to lot her have a model dress,
just imported, for a very low figure.
Wherouttho poor woman paid all the
money she had received for all bor
dresses, aud out Mme. Y. brought the

blue in the face, but she could not say
anything to protect herself without be

poor thing, she danced iu ber old frock
after all, having swapped all her other
