The Australian corresp spondent OF the London IN
Times relates the following story : - y@5 Ias:
Considerable sensation has obeen excited IN
Melbourne this month By tue famentable death et
of Mr.. Drummond, g police: magistrate, from ron
the bite jofaa tiger snake. Against the semoni
STRANGE. Of friends, and Tor the purpose. as he
proposed of detecting rlatsnnamed : hires,
who was exhibiting about't the town, by allowing
himself TO be bitten by snakes, and who: pro;
tessed to possess and apply a sovereign remedy
against, ali snake ipoisons, Mr.. Drummohd per-
sisted in being bitten By one of, Shires snakes,
declaring that they must be harmless, and that
Sbires1 was only an impostor.s Shires was at
first ayerse to allowing Mr.. Drummend to be
bitten. and warned him of the risk he ran; but
MIR. Drummond would not be put OF. lie was
bitten; above: the wrist, and few minutes al
terwards he tainted away, although the so
called remedy was at once rubbed over the part
bitten. hfr. Drpmmond, however, recovered
10 few minutes from his stupor, aud very
shortly afterwards appeared to be- quite we'll
He went home,2 but Wassfnaowed by two medl
cal friends, who, apprehe ot serious con;
sequences, we're, anxious to apply the usual
remedies IN such cases Drnmmond
however, s'it II refused their profered attsn-
tioas,, and went Ito bed. Tie next morning
all the uspalgs signs of snake poisoning appeared
upon him, be- became rapidly worse, andzhe
died from exhaustion within a very few hours!
So obscure was the action of the poison that
90 special morbid appearance was observable
about any of the yiscera after death, and Proof.
Halford, of the Melbournetl University. after q
post :mortema examination, could only detect a
oor.ion Of the effects of the poison IN the al
tered appearance OF the blood Icornuseles, as
seen through "a powerful microscope: Mr..
Drummond. who rWasIa man OF considerable
ability, has left 9 wideW and young and mum

committed toLtake- his trial for man- n-slaughter.

virtue Sit or mott has been pronounced
worthless BY medical nen-he haB hitherto
come Of unbarmed There can be,no decep.

him have Immediately before, as we'll as after
ward, bitten fowisaand rabbits, which have
died instantaneously. Professor Halford, On
being asked by the Coroner how Shlres es-
eapes were to be5aceounted for, answered that
he supposed his system 6: had become proof

A Turkish Lady Bathing.

Her attire is first removed. An at
tendant takes a glove-every day it is q
new glove-of undressed silk. With the
disengsged hand she pours over her mis-
tress basins of warm water. Then, by
means Of gentle friction, she slowly re-
moves the salts and impurities which are
deposited on the skin. This finished,
the attendant covers the lady from head
TO foot, by means Of a mop Of doWny
silk, with lather made Of a peculiar
soap, peculiar, | believe, in Turkey.
Upon this soap depends muck Of that
peschslike softness and snowy whiteuess
Of the skin for which Eastern women
always are so remarkable. Il has the rep
ulation Of removing stains, spots aud
freekles that are not deeply marked in the
cuticle This part Of the matter having
been carefully performed, the lady again
deluged with water heated TO ll0' or
100, and poured from a tabs (basin) Of
silver. Large towels-Ee might call
them sheets-of the finest white muslin,
richly embroidered With flowers and
gold, are wrapped around her, aud she is
led into a saloon, where, rolling up a
heap Of cushions, she siuks into q soft,
drsan-like languor, that might become
