fHantiln Leaves for Snake Poison. A Marlborough (N.Y.) letter to the New York Times says .• Charles M. Purdy is one of the leading commis sion merchants in New York who handle the fruit products of the Hud son Valley. Mr. Purdy's residence is near Marlborough. About 80 years ago Mr. Purdy'a mother,then a young woman, while rambling along the bank of the Hudson here, on what is now the Thomas T, Buckley estate, was bitten by a rattlesnake on the leg. The poison caused great pain and the limb was discolored very much, and the old settlers said that the only thing to do was to mount a fast horse and to ride to the Marlborough moun tain and coax an old Indian woman, who lived there then in a cave all a lone,to come and cure her. This was done, and the life of Mrs. Purdy was saved through the medicine furnished by this old squaw. It is a simple remedy—a small cupful of the juice of the plantain weed, which is to be found along every road and in nearly every door yard in the country. Mrs. Purdy gave these facts to the Times' correspondent for publication expressing the hope that inasmuch as the plaintain juice undoubtedly saved the life of Mr. Purdy's mother the * same service might be available to others if publicity was given to the fhcta. Inquiry made among farmers and country people gent rally elicited thd information that plantain weed is us ed extensively for poulticing, to heal up running sores and to break up cas es of chills and fever. Dr. A. H. Pal mer, of this town, says that a handful of plantain leaves made into a cup of tea breaks up sever?; attacks of certain malarial (disorders when other speci fics fail Old inhabitants say plantain leaves years ago were considered a sure cure for hydrophobia. Wood chop pers on the Plattekill, Marlborough, and Shawangunk mountains say that they have long known that plantain juice would prevent fatal results from the bite of a rattlesnake. Toads and other animals know the menical prop erties of the plantain weed. When bitten by a snake they invariably hop to where the specific can be found. Smuggler's Tricks. The curious tricks to which people reeort who deal in contraband goods, show a seal and ingenuity worthy of a better cause. One dealer in costly lace used to run in a valuable lot through tho gates of Paris, under the Jtexy ieet and eyes of the officials, on the back of a little dog, who had a notber coat neatly fitted all over his back, Which he wore with as much grace as his own hairy jacket. The lice was wound smoothly and evenly about his body, and he could carry thousands of dollars' worth in this way, and nobody be the wiser. He was a sharp little fellow, and when baffled at one gate, would run off to a nother, slipping in under the very hoofs of the horses as a carriage rolled along. The trick was at last suspect ad, and the wary dog, rather than suffer himself to be caught, took to the water, and was shot. He had a costly winding sheet of lace about him, when he came to be examined. Such a faithful dog onght to have had a better master. There is a museum of these confis cated articles at Paris, which is now and then visited by the curiosity hunt er, where is a pile of coals, with a spool of sewing thread in each chunk ; boots with French watches hid in the heels j a coffin which is filled with ci gfasf a huge stuffed boaconstricto r, a rent in whose sides disclosed a prec ious assignment of valuable laces ; a huge African hangs by his neck in a very ghastly fashion, but a stroke of the cane shows him to be only a f sounding tin. He used to figure on the fodtboard of a carriage, as an attend ant, and drove in and out many times through the gates of Paris. But one time, in a jam, when everybody was P scolding and swearing and trying to get on, an officer present harangued fthe crowd of drivers and told them to take an example of equanimity from this black, who looked on so serenly amidst the tumult. Slapping the good fellow approvingly on the shoul der,he was surprised to hear him give a very metallic rattle. He was taken to the inspection room, and found to be filled with excellent brandy, which Was drawn of at the toe. They soon sampled an 'armful' of the fluid, and the fistir Bfkck 'B day *of service was over. A somewhat similar game was played on English custom house offi cers, who inspected a consignment to Dr. SwfM-u, which proved to be four African leads preserved in brandy, and also some other pickled 'remains' all in 'excellent preservation.' They 'passed,' and the owners poured off the brandy from their porcelain heads and the tone, and drank to the health of the sharp officials in the excellent H Repairing done at short notice by practical workmen.
