Burns.—A correspondent of the Philadelphia Record vouches for the wonderful efficacy of the common cat-tail as a remedy for burns.

At the top of the pass they paused to gaze at the far-stretching view—Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; on the west, the Cumberland ranges sloping towards Chattanooga; in the east, the crowded summits of the Blue Ridge, their hue an unchanging azure; the Black Mountains with Mitchell, the Cat-tail Peak, the Balsams, the Hairy Bear, the Big Craggy, Great Pisgah, the Grandfather, and many more.

The Cat-tail Flags "flower and bear their mace or torch in July and August."

In these places the cat-tail is dominant, though numerous sedges occur, and there is some sphagnum growing on the fallen logs and along the shore.

For tools you need a block, a drill, a bow, a socket, and some tinder, dry 70 punk, or cat-tail down, all of which you can make or find in the woods.
