Prrtnt In a For.
A friend of ours, last March, sail
ing down the line coast, came on
deck one morning to find the air per-1
vaded by a fog so thick as to shut off
the vision for even a few yards from the
steamer. He had been aware, during
the night, of a peculiar vigilance and
activity on board, and ascertained thnt
the fog had lasted since the previous
evening. On inquiring of the captain
concerning their whereabouts he was
told that they had passed Cape Hat
teras in the night. " How did yon know
that? Could yon see the light?" "Oh,
no, not in a fog like this.". "Well, yon
certainly could take no observations
"without a star in sight." " No; but we
have other ways of seeing where we are
than these yon have mentioned."
"How?" "By the lead. Our sound
ings told us when we were off the capo,
and when we had passed it."
The spiritual have other means of
seeing than what we call our sight.
They see by the lead. That lead is
faitli. All distinctly Christian seaman
ship consists in the use of this " vision
and faculty divine." There are nights
when the heavens seemed walled abovo
our heads, and no light shines from the
shore; when, through the moaning and
midnight seas, we have to pass tho
stormy and perilous crisis of our life.
But we go on, sounding the very
depths tuat encompass and imperil ns,
and find in the rocks and shoals them
selves our chart and onr security. For
we walk by faith, not by sight" Intel

"You may talk about your Catskills,'
said a man on the hotel piazza last even
ing, "but did you ever in your life see
anything more beautiful than that?"
and he pointed to the billowy r inge of
Blue Ridge Monntains, whose tops were
losing themselves in the soft, misty hue
of twilight. "I tell yon," ho continued,
"there ore no more beautiful mountains
in this country than these Virginia peaks.
There is only one thing I have against
them : they are just jam full of snakes."
"So I have heard, but it has never
been my fortuno to meet with any face
to face.'
"You can thank your lucky stars then,"
said the man, who was a drummer for a
Baltimore firm. "I met one face to face
in the most unpleasant manner a few
nights ago. I had occasion to take
quite a trip on horseback you know
everybody rides horseback in these parts
and, after trotting along for two or
three hours, I struck up into the moun
tain. The sun was slowly sinking, cast
ing its beautiful lights and shades, with
all their delicate witchery, over the sur
rounding landscape. It was beautiful,
and I giw.ed, enchanted, upon a scene
which I cannot describe. Arousing my
self from my reverie, I was warned by
the deepening shadows to hasten on. I
had chosen a path which was little more
than a bridle path, and at each step the
way was becoming more rough and
ragged. Over broken rocks and fallen
trees I pursued mv Wav with great diffi
culty. As the shadows deepened and
objects became "?ess discernable, my
horse began to manifest unmistakable
signs of fear and uneasiness, shying at
times so violently as to almost throw me
from the saddle. At last, to my great
satisfaction, I distinguished the sounds
of human voices. Pushing on in the
direction from which they proceeded,
came upon a group of men standing in
front of a rude log cabin. They were
rough mountaineers, and made a living
by distilling whisky. Riding np, I in
quired the distance to my place of ties-
tination. It was several miles further
on. I was not acquainted with the way,
It would have been dangerous for me to
have kept on, and I asked if I could be
accommodated for the night. 'Get down,
stranger ; get down,' was the ready re
sponse, 'vt e haven t much m this wild
country, but what we have is at your
service.' I was pretty stiff after my long
ride and gladly dismounted. As
jumped from my horse I saw upon the
ground at their teet what, upon exannn
ation, proved to be a large snake. It
was a moccasin, six feet long, and an
ugly-looking customer. My exclamation
of alarm drew from one of the men the
remark that the snake had been dis
patched but a few moments before my
arrival. 'We had a pretty hard job oi
it, he said, 'but we hxed him at last
We don't care much for them ; but the
fact is when we do spot a big snaki
close by we don't choose to have him
loafing about the place too familiarly,
you know, for he might snap up some
one of us when we are not thinking of
it, so we settle him at once.
" 'now do vou do it?' " I asked. !
" 'Well, when he is a fine old rattler
we try to secure him without breaking
his hide. We draw his attention by
putting something'on the end of a pole
on which is also a snare, and when the
old fellow pops up his head from be-
hind the log we just drop the snare over
him and one of us runs up, catches him
by the neck and puts a spike through
his head. That is, when we catch them
to stuff for vour museums. O, there
are lots of them about here, lots of them
We have several fine old fellows on
hand now.' "
"I listened in silence. Not a veiy in
viting prospect for a night s lodging,
thought, as I stood debatingin nivmind
the advisability of moving on in spite
of darkness and rough roads. A sum
mons from the cabin to supper decided
me, however. The cool mountain air
had proved a keen appetizer and I
thoroughly enjoyed the plain but sub
stantial meal of corn-bread and bacon
Supper over, we repaired again to the
front of tho cabin. A feeling of exhila
ration came over me a feeling which
man can only experience by going into
the very heart of the mountain, lhe
moon had risen and around and abov
me the trees nodded in a flood of silve
light. Picturesque and beautiful be
yond description was the scene, banish
ing from my mind all disagreeable and
unpleasant thoughts. Each rock, crag
and bush seemed under tho mvstical
light to become transformed into some
thing lovely and fairv-like.
"But even the loveliness of the nigl
could not dispel the weariness which
was gradually stealing over me nor
tempt mo longer to remain, so acconi'
pamed by my host 1 was shown my
quarters. It was a little low room,
seeming to be off from the main build
ing. Through the chinks in the logs
came the moonlight in little patches,
The window, a small port-hole concern
was built right up against the mountain
and beneath it huge clumps of rock
and underbush. As I stood in the dis
mal, comfortless room I confess to
feeling of great nervousness. I did not
like the looks of things at all. Back to
my mind flashed tho stories of tho eve
ning. I was conscious for the first
time in my life of being actually afraid
I set about my preparations for the
night with as good a stock of courage
as 1 could summon to my aid, making
careful survey of the room and tilling
up the chinks as best 1 could, liaralj
had I finished ere my candle flickered
sputtered spitefully and went out,
sought my straw bed, placed my revol
ver under my coat and settled myself to
try and sleep. But sleep I could
not.
"After passing whrt seemed hours of
wakefulness, extreme weariness and the
low wind soughing through the pines
threw me at last into a restless uneasy
slumber, in which my dreams were filled
with fnchtful visions, iromone mor
horrible than all the rest, I woke with
start. From the foot of the bed came
harhh, grating sound. What could it
be ? I tried to assure myself that the
sound held no significance for me, but
instinctively I felt a horrible sensation
of something near dangerously near.
I raised myself up, only to sink back
with a low cry of horror. I he moon
light, streaming into my window, re
vealed to me my situation. There, at
the side of the bed, slowly coiling itself
for a spring, was a huge snake. 1 quick
ly felt for my revolver. It was gone.
The agony of the moment was beyond
all words. I tried to jump to my feet.
At that moment the snake sprang to
ward me, just grazing my bhoulder and
falling with a heavy thud on the other
side of me. With one bound I reached
the door, and with a wild cry of alarm
aroused the inmates. Almost instantly
all hands were on the spot. They found
his pnakebhip just retiring through one
of the holes between the logs, ne
was soon disposed of and proved to be
rattler seven feet long, witn inirieen
rattles. A search was made for my re
volver. It was found to have slipper
from beneath my coat to the floor, pro
bably whilo I was asleep. Sleep came
to my eyes no more that nigru. no
Boonor had the gray dawn appeared than
mounted my horse and lett the
cabin, with a feeling of great relief.

The Pineapple.
The pine apple, or ananas, (Ananassd
Saliva) is a plant of tho natural order
llromeliacew, justly highly esteemed tor
its luscious and delightful fruit. It is
a native of tropical America, and is found
in greatest profusion throughout the
West India Islands and iu the sandy
maritime portions of the northeastern
part of South America. In these sec
tions it was originally a wild fruit, but
has been greatly improved by care and
cultivation. It lios gradually diuused
over tropical and sub-tropical countries,
until it has become naturalized in many
sections of the world, notably in Asia
and Africa. Its strong, hardy nature
has enabled it to withstand the unavoid
able differences of its several new loca
tions, until it has spread over nearly all
the warm, sandy countries on the face of
the globe ; while its delightful flavor
and refreshing moisture has made it a
wonderful favorite among all the nations,
The fruit is a "sorosis," formed by
calyces and bracts of a close spike of
flowers becoming succulent and com
bined. It has a number of long, ser
rated, sharp-pointed, rigid leaves spring
ing from the loot, in the midst of thich
a short flower-stem is thrown up, and
bearing thereon a single fruit. From
the summit of the fruit springs a crown,
or tuft, of small leaves, capable of be
coming a new plant ; it being propa
gated, in cultivation, entirely by crowns
and suckers, as in a high state of culti
vation the perfect seed is almost never
produced.
in size the i'lne Apple varies trom it
to 12 pounds, and retains its flavor and
jniceness for an extremely long period
of time. In many countries, notably,
China, Japan andthePhillipine Islands,
its fibre is much used for manufacturing
purposes, the natives -being peculiarly
skilled in this species of work. Exqui
site handkerchiefs, curtains, shawls, etc.,
are produced, which command almost
fabulous prices among the more aristo
cratic circles of Europe and Asia. In
this country no attempt of any magni
tude has been made in this direction, its
utility from this stand-point being amat-
ter for development at some iuture day.
In our home market, the "Bahama
Pine Apple," is the favorito fruit, and
the demand and supply have been kept
at a pretty even ratio. Immense quanti
ties are processed and canned for ship
ment to all parts of tho world, and find
prompt and ready sale. In this pecu
liar branch of trade our city has invaria
bly taken the lead, the reputation for
square and honorable dealing of hernier-
chants has become world-wide, while
their goods are proverbially celebrated
for pureness, fine quality and reasonable
ness of price.
Nassau, in tho island of New Provi
dence, has always been considered the
most favorable point for the purchase
and shipment of Pines. The island
itself seems to bristle with them. On
every side as far as the eye can reach,
loom up the brilliant green, pink and
yellow apples, seated royally upon their
eactus-like looking thrones, and dinus
ing their delightful odor throughout
their surrounding neighborhood. On
some plantations from 70,000 to 80,000
dozens are cut per annum, and dozens
of cargoes aro shipped to the varioue
ports of tho United states and Europe,
Many are also packed and canned by ths
producers, some pait'es shipping as
many as from 40,000 to 50,000 dozen of
cans ; of courso these are tho larger
dealers, but hundreds and hundreds of
negroes engage in tho same traffic for
their account, and when their crops
ripen and become marketable, throng
the wharves and business places, ofler
ing their stocks to the traders and buy
ers with a perecveranco and pertinacity
almost unendurable.
As regards their method of cannin
they aro of course, greatly behind
the perfected and finished establish
ments, with which we aro favored
here, and lack the requisite machi
nerv, and, in fact, the necessary
knowledge of detail required, in order
to elevate the business to tho same su
periority which it hps acquired with us.
The skill and rapidity, however, of
tho negro employees in paring the fib
rous, unyielding fruit, is something
wonderful in dexterity and manipulation
After them come tho "slicers," who cut
the pines in regular slices and places
them properly ill the 'cans, from whence
they are transterred to another depart
nicnt, there to receive their proper
quantity of pure, sweet syrup, which is
alwavs of the finest quality made from
pure rain water and the highest grades
of sugar, lhe cans are then securely
sealed and soldered, weighed and passed
into the boiling room, in which are
great steaming cauldrons of boiling wa
ter, into which the cans are lowered by
a tackle of the most primitive and un
pretending style. In this hot bath they
remain until the air within them is well
expanded say some four or five min
utes, when they are re-hoisted, and a
small hole punctured in each, which is
immediately soldered up again, as soon
as the confined air has had an opportu
nity to ei.cape, when they are again
re-lowered into the boiling water and
allowed to remain until properly
cooked.
After the cooling, then comes the la
belling, which being finished they are
ready for shipment, and take their voy

Women In Torn.
The rern-rinn Indies do not work
they considor labor disgraceful. Yet
they are generally occupied. They rise
early, take a cup of tea, and go to mass.
j-uiTii warning nulls are ueni uuu iieuy ,
in this respect they surpass us. The
dress is black, and never touches the
ground j there is no fussing or fumbling
with trains. A white skirt is sometimes
seen a little below the dress, with a
deep hem and two tucks, and always
white and clean, rmnella gaiters are
generally worn ; the hands are bare J the
mania is thrown over the head, falling
gracefully down almost to the bottom
of the skirt, and gives them a charming
appearance ; for it may conceal many
defects of a face that is not handsome,
and it sets off to advantage the charms
of a beautiful face. A lady never goes
out alone in Lima; two or throe go
together, and a black woman servant
walks behind. Young girls are carefully
escorted by their friends wherever they
go, and are never permitted to see per
sons of the opposite sex alone. All the
matches are made by older people, and
so effectually is this done that the ladies
all marry, and none are divorced. The
Riibiect of dress claims most of their
time and attention ; their ball dresses
and opera and eoiree suits are magnifi
cent. Their boots especially are beau
tiful. No people have naturally as small
Poet as tho Peruvian. Tho ladies are
not very intelligent, and care little for
music or books. They love to smoke.
Although handsome when young,? they
scarcely turn twenty when they begin to
fade. One thing always lasts with them,
and that is their gait. Their movements
aro eliding and graceful, and the same
is true of the men. On the street they
never jostle each other. Their manners
are excessively courteous; but their
conversation amounts to little, being
chiefly gossip about domestic aflairs.

A Mouse Remedy for Lockjaw
Hitherto there his been no remedy
which could be regarded as specinc for
tetanus. At last, however, an ingenions
French physician has apparently hit
upon a remedy before which tetanus
yields as readily as toothache yields to
the dentist's forceps, and which will, of
course, supersede curare and all other
inferior remedies. The 1'renen doctor
in question was called in to attend a
lady sufleriucr from tetanus. In Ins re
port he says that she was a married
woman of thirty-one years of age, and
Miat previous to Ins visit ner family
physician had tried every known remedy
for tetanus, including curare, without
producing any effect. The patient was
lying on her back, with her jaws tightly
closed, and the muscles of her chest and
throat were so ripiid that she was unable
to utter a sound. The doctor at once
went out and procured a live mouse of
the usual size and voracity, to the tail
of which he attached a strong horse
hair. Placing the mouse at the foot of
the bed. he permitted it to walk the
entire length of the patient's body. No
sooner did the patient notice tne mouse
than she sprang up, loudly calling to
the attendants to take it on, and cie
nouncinrr the doctor as a horrid, heart
less wretch, who ought to be ashamed
of himself and guillotined on the spot,
There was no recurrence of tho syrup
toms of tetanus. In fact, the doctor
adds that the lady's iaws were so thor
oughly and permanently unlocked that
the husband, who is, of course, ignorant
of law, has threatened to begin an action
for damages against him. Homoeopathic

What Scares a Woman.
.Notice a woman when she receives a
telesrram. How it does scare her ! She
trembles like a dish of jelly, and imag
ines all sorts of things. Her husband
has fallen down the hatchway at his
warehouse. Her Johnnv has gone out
sailing and is drowned. Her sister
Mary has been scalded to death. Noth
ing short of a fatal accident quite fills
the bill of her imagination. When she
finally summons courage to tear open
the envelope she finds a message from
her husband warning her that he will
bring a customer home to dinner, and
she immediately calls her children to
gether and instructs them not to ask
twice for raspberries, as there's just
enough to go round, and give tho visitor

in every direction which can h.-.j. m
lv, mentally or physically. This is specially
truo of the human body and everything which
concerns it, and the truths which tho people
havo found, even in the last fifty years, aro
Bimplv marvelous. How really ignorant some
cultured anil supposaoiy sciciiuuc pcopio
only a fow years ago as compared with the. present
day, may he bettor understood from a few illus
trative facts. A prominent writer prepared an
claborato essay to prove that steamships could
never cross the Atlantic, anil ins pampinuv was
Issued just in timo to be carried by tho first
steamer that went to Knglaud. People once
believed that tho heart was the seat of lifo and
health. It is now known that thisorgan isonly
a pump, simply keeping in motion wnai oiuer
and moro important organs of the body havo
creat ed and transformed. It was onco supposed
that if a person felt a pain in tho back, tho liver
was Uerangeu; n a pam came in umi-i cue
the lungs were affected and consump'ion was
near; it is now known that ft pain in the back
indicates diseased kidneys, while troubles in tho
lower chest arise from a disordered liver and
not imperfect lungs. A severe pain in tho head
was onco thought to come from some partial
derangement of tho brain; it is now known that
troubles in other parts ot tne noiiy nnu away
from the head, cause headaches and that only
by removing tho causo can the pain be cured.
It is a matter of
riUVATE HISTOB.Y
that General Washington was bled to death.
His last illness was slight, and caused princi
pally by weariness. A physician was called who
'bled him copiously.' Strantre to say, tho
natient became no better. Another doctor was
caneii, wno again iook away ime mimuiiu v..
the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physi
cians drew away the life of a great man who was
intended bv nuturo for an old ago, and who pre
maturely died murdered by malpractice
bled to" death. That was the ago of medical
bleeding 1"
The speaker then graphically described an
other period which came upon tho people, in
which they assigned the origin of all diseases to
tne stomacn, ami oner snowing me luisnj ui
this theory, and that tho kidneys and liver were
the causes of disease, and that many people aro
sulfcriug from kidney and liver troubles to-day
who do not know, but who should know it and
attend to them at once, continued:
Let us look at tins matter a littio more
eloselv. Tho human body is tho most perfect
and vet the most delicate ot all created thmgs.
It is capable of tho greatest results a!d it is
liable to the creatcst disorders. Tho slightest
causes sometimes seem to throw its delicato
machinery out of order while the most simple
and common sense care rest-ires and keeps them
in perfect condition. When it is remembered
that the amount of happiness or misery we aro
to have in this world is dependent upon a per
fect body, is it not strango that simple precau
tions and care are not exercised ! This is one
of the most vital questions of life. People may
avoid it for tho present, but there is certain to
come a time iu every one's oxperiouce when it
uiiu-t be faced.
"And hero pardon me lor relating a little
personal experience. In tho year I lound
myself losing both in slrength and health. I
could assign no cause for the decline, but it
continued, until linally 1 called to my aid two
prominent physicians. After treating me for
some time tliey declared I was suffering from
!riht's disease ot tho kidneys, and that they
mid do nothing more lor me. At tins time 1
wan so wean 1 coum uoi raiso my ni-a-i liuiu tun
nillow and I
FAINTED BrFEATEDI.Y.
My heart beat so rapidly it was with difficulty 1
could sleep. My lungs were also badly involved;
1 could return nothing niton my stomacn,
while tho most inteiiso pains iu my back au I
bowels caused me to long for death as a relief.
It was at tins critical juncture that a physical
longing which I felt (and which I most firmly
believe was an inspiration) caused me to send
lor the leaves of a. plant I had once known in
medical practice. After great dilHculty I ut
last secured them and began their use in the
form of tea. I noticed a lessening of the pain
at once; I began to mend rapidly; in five weeks
I was ablo to be about and in two months I be
came perfectly well and have so continued to
this day. It was only natural that such a re
sult should have caused me to investigate inotl
thoroughly. I carefully examined helds in
medicine hover before expl u-ed. I sought the
causo ol physical order and disorder, happiness,
ami pair,, and I found the kidneys and liver to
ba tho governors, whoso motions regulato the
entire svstem."
After deseribinc at lensth tho offices of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part iu
in.-, i in uociur went on iu say:
" Having found this great truth, I sawclearh
tho cause of my recovery. The simple vegetable
leaf I had used was a food and restorer to my
well-nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. It had
como to them when their lifo was nearly gone
and by its simple, vot powerful intluence had
purified, strengthened and restored them and
Baved mo from death, llealizing the great bene
fit which a knowledge of this truth would give
to the world I began, iu a modest way, to treal
those afflicted and in every case I found the

which I had experienced. Not only this but
many, who were not conscious of any physical
trouble but who, at my suggestion, began the
use of tho remedy which had savod my life,
found their health steadily improving and' thoii
strength continually increasing. So universal,
when used, was this truo, that I determined the
entire world should sharo in its results, and 1
therefore placed the formula for its preparation
in tho hands of Mr. 11. II. Warner, of Rochester,
N. Y., a gentleman whom I had cured of a
pevero kidney disease au 1 who, by reason ol
his poraoral worth, high staudiug and liberality
in endowiiiK tho Astronomical Observatory anil
other public euteqirises, has become known and
popular to tho entiro country. This gentleman
ut once began the manufacture of the remedy
on a most extensive sealo, and to-day, War ner'n
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, tho pure remedy
that saved my life, is known and used iu ail
parts of tho continent.
"I am awaio a prejudice exists toward pro
prietary medicines, and that such prejudice is
too often well-founded, but tho valuo of a purt
remedy is no less becaueo it is a proprietary
medicine. A justifiable prejudice exists toward
quack doctors, but is it right that this preju
dice should extend toward all tho doctors who
aro earnestly and intelligently trying to do
their duty " Because Warner's Safo Kidney
and Liver Cure saved my lifo before it becamo
a proprietary medicine, is it reasonable to sup
pose that it will not euro others and keep still
more from tirkness now that it is sold with a
government stamp on tho wrapper? Buch a
theory would be childish."
