The Putative Father Bound, Gagged and Robbed of a Large Sum. [Glen City (Pa.) Telegram to Chicago Times.] Elmer Snyder is a wealthy farmer who jives a short distance outside of this village. He is a widower, lives in a big house, and stan Is high in the community. Mrs Snyder died five years ago from grief because her son ran away. Two weeks ago a young man appeared in towh and claimed to be the long-lost soii. Tile neighbors circulated stories of a fast life in Chicago, and were suspicious, but the farmer believed in him. L st Wednesday a handsome, elegantlydressed woman, unaccompanied, drove up t > the village inn, and secured accommodations for a few days, saying she was from Philadelphia and desired a quiet room. While walking on the street she met the latcly-rettimed farmer’s son. They suddenly “ became intimate, and until Thursday night he was constanty in her society. He introduced her to a few young ladies as Mrs. Dickerson, of Philadeldelphia, and said she was the wife of a friend of his. On Friday morning the servants in the Snyder Household were surprised by the non-appearance of Mr. Snyder. Bursting open the d >or, the}’ saw the old man lying at full length upon the floor, bound and gagged. The rones that bound him were wrapped around nis arms and legs with a double twist, while the gag was tightly wedged in his mouth. Cutting the cords and lifting him to bis feet, they administered restoratives. When he had sufficiently recovered, the old man said: • I!.; 1young man was fiot my soil. I have been cruelly deceived and ‘ roboed,” pointing tb a safe which stood in the corner of the room. The servants saw that the safe had Dt‘tu and th" about the floor. "Last night,” continued the farmer,” the yonng man and I remained up till about 1 o’clock talking about the Western States. At last he started to talk about my real estate, money, bonds, etc., but I never suspected anything and shortly after I went to bed. How long I slept I don’t know, but I was roughly awakened by a gag being forced into my mouth, and befote I could help myself I‘was bound and gagged. As soon as the light was turned up I recognized the face of the young man whom I thought my son and the stylish woman who had stopped at the tavern. The young man laughed quietly, and, taking up my trousers, took the key out of the pocket and deliberately proceeded to open the safe. The pair then examined the contents. The money they put in a valise the women carried, while the papers were tossed about as you see them. After they had taken everything, the young man name up to me and laughingly Said; papa. I’ll pay your respects to your son when I get back to Chicago. He wants to hear from you.’ They then went out, locking the door after them.” This mi -rning a defective from Chicago arrived, looking for two individuals whose description tallies exactlt with that of the farmer's bogus son and the flashy women who rut tip at that tavern.

Having decided the percentage of exhausted leaves to mix with his fresh leaves these are put also on the mats. The drying is in the open air and in the sunlight. That having been completed, the next operation is the curling. To effect this the dried leaves are poured into open cast-iron receptacles over a charcoal furnace beneath of accurately graded heat.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN. For Coughs or Throat TnotmtE.-— Let thou. afflicted with bronchitis, asthma or severe cough, try the follow? ing recipe, and yertt will find relief, if not a cure : Two ounce’s of hoarhound, two ounces of flax seed, one ounce of Wild cherry bark, two or three quarts of water. Boil and strain. To this liquid mid one pound of maple sugar and boil to a eitup (one quart). While cooling stir in one table-spoonful of pulverized lobelia seed, Bose, one table-spoonful two or three times a day, I’or burns and scalds nothing' fa-more soothing than the white of an “Kgwhich may be poured over the wound. It is softer as varnish for a burn than collodion, and, being always at hand, ean be applied immediately. It is also inore cooling than the sweet oil and cotton, vfhieh was formerly supposed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. is the contact with the air which gives ihe extreme discomfort experienced frod the ordinary accident of this kind, and anything which excludes the air and prevents inflammation is the thing to be applied. Hot Watlb fob Dyspepsia.—A gentleman who is in business in this city has cured himself of a chronic and ugly form of dyspepsia in a very simple way. He was given #p to die; but lie finally abandoned alike the doctors and the drugs, and resorted to 3 juethod o* treatment which most doctors and most persons would laugh at as “an ola *oman’s remedy.” It was simply the swallowing of a toacupful of hot water before breakfast every morning. He took the water from the Cook’s teakettle, and so hot that he could only take it by the spoonful. For about three weeks this morning dose was repeated; the dyspepsia decreasing all the while. At the end of that time he could eat, he says, any breakfast or dinner that any well person could eat —had gained in weight, and has ever since been hearty and well. His weight is now- between thirty and forty pounds greater than it was during the dyspepsia sufferings; and for several years he has had no trouble with his stomach —unless it was some temporary inconvenience due to a late supper or dining out, and in such a case a single trial of his ante-breakfast rome.dy was sure t<> *•** — u *l>nurs right. He obtained this idea from a German doctor, and in turn recommended it to others —and in every case, acording to this gentleman's account, a cure was effected.—Hartford Courant. The Eyes.-—The eye is a remarkable organ—remarkable for its powers of endurance, for its toughness, since only a violent blow, even with a hammer, can crush it, as one may know by an experiment on the eye of a dead animal, as an ox. Its importance is indicated by the manifest care in the protection of it, lying, as it does, on a soft bed of fat in a cavity, with so many bony projections around it that an injury from an ordinary blow, as from a flat club, would be very unusual. The brows and the fringe of the lids do much to prevent dust and perspiration from reaching them, while the supply of tears from a gland above the eye, about three-fourths of an inch long, with from eight to twelve ducts leading to the ball, serves not only to moisten, and in a certain sense to nonrish that organ, but to wash away whatever dust may, by chance, get upon the ball. Then tears flow in such a manner as to reach the whole ball, and then to flow toward the inner angle, at which point a duet passes the whole down into the cavity of the nose. The frequent and imperceptible winking, generally without any design on our part, lubricating or raoistering the ball by the spreading of this eye water, the best in use, this being the more frequent as the occasion for it is manifest —a curative process. The nearest approach to this tear w ash is made from the pith of the sassafras, dissolved in water, or rose water, WULLIIJ£ Vlxw XI <JU<3 would preserve the s’ght of the eye, keep the ball free from inflammation. It is needful not to rub the eye harshly at any time; never to subject it to dazzling or too bright a light; not to use it much by artificial light, the gas being as bad as any, or at twilght, particularly at night; not to look too intently or too continuously on black cloth and the like; always to discontinue labor or their use just as soon as pain warns, and as much sooner as possible. We may see without effort, “letting them see,’’not compelling them to see by effort, by straining the sight, since a little observation will teach one that this compulsory sight is specially taxing. Even weak eyes, not reddened too much by the use of carbonaceous drinks or food, will do much labor if often rested, avoiding pain, which is the warning to stop.— Dr. J. H. Hanaford. Net a Rothschild's Game. Some darkys started a faro bank in a Kentucky town, and no man was allowed to bet over ten cents at a time. A man from Allen county was in to see what he could see, and in his rambles he came upon the darky faro bank. He pulled out a $5 bill, bought its worth in chips and put them on the jack. The dealer was too busy, and at first did not see the big pile of chips and commenced dealing. He all at once looked up, saw Allen county’s prilo and inquired: “Who’s dat got such a pile on dat jack?” The Allen county man, not knowing the rules of the game, very sternly remarked, “That's mine.” The dealer gazed at him for a moment and replied: “Pull her down from dar. Pull her down from dar; you must tink lloschiles am playing dis game.” Paternal Government. When the Shah of Persia begins to suspect that one of his nobles is grow - ing too rich, he contrives to “clip liis wings.” Either he sends him every day, for a couple of weeks or months, some delicacy from his own table, for which said noble has to pay each time the sum of 1.000 pieces of gold; or ha delegates to him the duty of entertaining a foreign embassy, or some diplomatic body. Again, he either playa every week half-a-dozen games of chess with him at 1,000 sequins a game, or he arranges bets up to 12,000 sequins, and, of course, the happy mortal on whom the Shah chooses to confer this honor must not have the audacity to win for fear of losing his head. But if the Shah desires to ruin his man at one fell stroke, he invites himself as a guest to his house. This mark of distinction is so expensive that the wealthiest subject is thereby plunged into the deepest poverty.— Der Wanderer.
