Physicians are often asked whether there really Is any virtue in what arc called madstones. One of them de clares that these stones are of value, but that they would be of more value if their limitations were understood. “There is no particular variety of Stone' or v. i,.ch may be des ignated exclusively as the mudstone.” he says. “I have seen many of them, so called, and no two were of exactly the same composition, geologically con sidered. “Mudstones act on the same principle that a blotting paper does when ab sorbing ink, and there is nothing that makes a better one than baked pipe clay. Anew clay pipe, procurable for a cent at nearly any store where to bacco is sold, cannot be excelled by any mudstone, no matter how great its reputation. “The action can be clearly demon strated by placing a common dry red brick in contact with the margin of a puddle of water and noticing what capillary attraction will accomplish. Therefore to be efficient the only ne cessity is for the stone to be porous and have strong adhesive and absorb ent qualities. Nothing mysterious about It. “I have seen several that appear to be concretions, either vesical, renal or biliary, and were found in the bladder, kidney or liver of some animal—those taken from the deer supposed to be the best. “When a person Is bitten by a reptile or dog supposed to be mad and the porous stone applied to the wound the blotting paper action begins, nnd the blood, saliva from the mouth of the animal and whatever poison those fluids contain will naturally by capil lary attraction be absorbed by and into the substance applied, no matter what name you may give it. “The saying that if a stone sticks the wound is poisonous and if it does not take hold there is no venom pres ent is untrue. If the stone is clean and dry it will adhere when moisture is within reach till it becomes saturat ed. “For instance, anew red brick will absorb one pint of water. After the venom has been taken Into the circu lation the mudstone is worthless, but as the victim is usually filled with whisky or alcohol at the same time tiie stone is being used the spirits niaj counteract the effect of the poison. “I know of a stone which has a wide reputation and makes a - good living for the family owning it. They never let it go out "of their sight, and when the victim cannot be taken to the stone one member of the family can be hired to take the stone to the victim. In ad dition to traveling expenses, they charge $5 for the application and $2 extra for each hour that the stone sticks. ~ “This stone is busy a large part of cuL time. Not long since the stone held mi ,n’s leg for over 100 hours, yet "•un (lied. Ilis life could have \c:l if dependence had not been A|rely in the stone.”—Medical JACKSON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, MAY 3rb 1907. J J, E. THAXTON FORGASTS THE PRESENT YEAR. J. E. Thaxton, who is the well rec ognizedjweather prophet of Butte gives out the information as follows : Says he “it will frost between the 10th and 20th of May’" however not a kill ing frost but there may bo after the frost some drift* of snow, si.vs the prophet. He further said, “1907 will be a dry year, with short yield of cot ton and all grain crops will be very short.” He also says there will be bod stands of cotton on account of c >ld w- a her and he predicts this to be an unusually unfortunate year keep note of these predictions, as Mr. Thaxton has heretofore forcasted truthfully the future. A MERRY FISHING FROLIC. Last Saturday Apr. 27th, quite a number of young people of South Butts assembled, and pairing off into separate buggies went to the High falls on a fishing frolie, All nature was an “eloquence of beauty," with rlie rays of sunlight shining among her visible foim<; this with the mer ry crowd, and owing to each one be ing exerted by fishing so long, about noon cnused the proverb ‘eat and be merry,’' to bo carriedto its culn i tu tion. The party was composed of the ollowing Misses Susie and Florence Etheridge, Rosa Brownlee. May Garr, i.ihc. Lula Chornifx! Ann.. Kate Wright. Messrs Geo. and Will Etheridge, Newt Brownlee, Wiley Wright, Howard Garr, and B. F. Clark. A "Touching" Story. The young lady who had sat for a crayon portrait was not altogether pIA-ised with the result. “It looks like me, of course,” she suid, inspecting it doubtfully, “and yet I think there are some things about It that ought to be changed.” She suggested that the eyes should have rather more of an upward look, that the right hand should be a little less prominent, that the hair should be made more wavy and that certnln changes ought to be made in the drap ery. “That would require a greut deal of retouching.” said the artist, “and I should have to charge you about $lO additional.” “Oh, dear!” she exclaimed with a pout. “I shall have to give it up. Papa won’t stand my ‘retouching’ him to that extent.” A Case In Point. Of Sergeant Arabln, who had not a clear method of speech, it is related that he said to one criminal, “Prisoner at the bur, if ever there was a clearer case than this of a man robbing his master, this case is that case.” At another time he said, "Prisoner at the bar, you have been found guilty on severul Indictments, and it Is in my power to subject you to transportation for a period very considerably beyond the term of your natural life, but the court in Iks mercy will not go so far as it lawfully might go. and the sen tence is that you be transported for two periods of seven years each.”— London Globe. Real Distress of Mind. Dora—l’m in such distress of mind, and I want your advice. I am loved by three men, and I don’t know which to accept. Clara—Which one has the most money? Dora—lf I knew that, do you suppose I’d waste precious time running around for advice? Something More Recent. “What was the cause of this rum pus?” asked the judge. “Well, you sec, judge,” replied the policeman, “this man here and that: woman there are married”— “Yes, yen. I know. But what other ! cause?” —Cleveland Press. Setting Him Rig!"*. “Er—really,” bvgi’.n Mr. C’b -sty, “you have the advantage of me, sir. My ] memory, perhaps, is at fault, but”— “No,” interrupted Pepprey. “it isn’t your memory, hut your manners.”— Philadelphia Press. MISS “PUSS" PATTERSON GALLS ON THE JACKSONIAN.

The rules and regulations which en viron unmarried girls in France are exceptionally Btriet when compared with those of England and America. On the other hand, compared with the ,ioc. Spain, 1 tiiLk Jm.g of France are fnvorable to the jeune fllle. I have personal knowledge of a case in which a young Spanish girl shot her self because she had beeu kissed by a young man and because, in conse quence of this small Indiscretion, her life had been made unbearable by her relatives. Paris Letter in London Madame. Marrying Under the Gallows. In olden dnys If a man or woman would consent to marry under the gal lows a person condemned to death might thereby be saved from execu tion. This happened, according to an old English ballad, to a Chichester merchant who was thus saved by n loving maiden. In 1784 a criminal at New' York escaped In the same way. and all readers of Victor Hugo's “No tre Dame” will remember that power ful and dramatic scene where Esmeral da saves Pierre Gringoire. T.
