(From'the Omaha Republican-) I had often heard of poisoned arrows and determined to ask the old Indian arrow-maker abont them and how they were made and impregnated with the deadly poison which they were supposed to contain. He looked at me for a full minute aud then said: “First we take a bloated yellow rattle snake in August, when he is most pois onous, and tie him with a forked stick to a stake; then we tease him until he is in a great rage. This is done by passing a switch over his body from his head to his tail. When he threshes the ground with his body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle Like diamonds we kill a deer, antelope or some other small animal and, U anng out the liver, throw it to the snake while it is warm and the blood still coursing through it. The reptile will itrike it again and again ahd pretty soon it Itogin to torn, black. When he tires the make is teased again and he is induced to sink his fangs into the soft flesh until all the poison is. extracted from him and the liver is reeking with it. He is then killed and the liver lifted with a sharp pole, lor au dangerous is it, no one dare touch it The liver is let lay for about an hour when it will be al most jet black and emit a sour smell. Arrows are then brought and their iron heads pushed into the liver up to the shaft They are left sticking there for aboflt an hour and a half, when they are uilhdrawn and dried in the sun. A thin glistening yellow scum adheres to the arrow and if it l*ut so much as touches it is esrtsin to poison it to } death i asked if Indiana still used pomuned ariown "No," he replied, "no man, Indian or white man, for yean past has bsm shut with tl ms arrows and they are no longer made." •****" 11111 "* ** A A Mfii Arii run Amm.

Let the reaper and the mower come fast and numerous among us, for it is an evidence of better times coming; it portends the making of our own food supplies, and when that is done, farm mortgages will cease and we shall once more become free men, and unencumbered, and visit our towns and cities as independent men, with no sus picions against us as debtors—merely “hewers of wood, and drawers of water. ’ I look for good results to come out of tho Interstate Convention of farmers to Ixvhekl in Atlanta in August next, where ail matters pertaining to the interest and welfare of the farmers and farming will be fully discursed.

WOMEN PHYSICIANS. ‘ ' The study of medicine and its twin science, pharmacy, by women is no new thing. In the first medical school es tablished during tho first Christian era women taught side by side with men. The school of Salemum contained in its faculty no names more respectable for scientific zeal and attainments than those of tho three female professors—Trotulo, Rebecca and Abello—who were ready to grapple tho toughest subject in physi ology and medicine. Tretola wrote a very learned dissertation which aided much to her fame, and which was so great for profound scholarship that when the celebrated disputant, Rudolph ing to try conclusions in science with its professors she alone was considered a worthy antagonist. Abella was a poet physician, and indited a treatise on "Black Bile” in Latin vprse. The taste of the learned Rebecca inclined in the stune direction, and her works are found in the old* libraries. The mothers in medicine, however, left no suooesson worthy of their fame, and their example has not had many imitators in the cen turies since they flourished. In later years women have again tamed their attention to the profession of medicine, which, however, on account of its ardu ous duties requires a remarkably robust physique and strong nerves, and while their tact and gentleness may be a help to them, R is an open questeod whether their superabundant sympathy ik not a drawback. But in the capacity of drug gists no questions can arise as to phyai- rvra or mpatLi, s. ( art-, precision 'ledge of chemistry and and a know!

One of the most hardy for either town or coun try is the pigoon. The majority of the great pigeon fanciers of this day com menced their favorite pursuit _ when young. They began by keeping only a few common biro's in boxes on the root or in the barn, out of the reach of cats and other enemies. Soon they grew in terested in the different fancy breeds,t which embranoe over two hundred varie ties. Some of these have been carefully bred for nearly two thousand yean, and at this time the best birds of some of the moat popular kinds sell for the im mense snm of $1,000 a pair.
