A Spiders Terrible Bite.

H. E. Jewell, son of the late John
Jewell, of Kiskatom, who was killed
while bravely fighting in Virginia during
the war, and whose mother and sister
live in Catskill, was recently bitten by
a tarantula, or poison spider, in Ari-
zona, where his home now is. These
animals vary in size from dollar to that
of the palm of the hand, and the poison
of their bite is more fearful and deadly
than that of the rattlesnake, so that
few recover from it. Prussic acid and
ammonia were injected into his system
through the wound he was filled with
mixture of lard-oil and brandy, SC
that he was unconscious more than forty
hours, and was kept drunk six days, to
counteract, by alcohol, the poison il
time, blisters from it having come ont
on his body. He writes that he is no"
apparently free from the poison, but Is
nervous and weak, as he well may be
from the effects of the poison, or hi'
forced debauch, or both. As Mr.. jew
ell is but 26 years old, and has strong
and vigorous constitution, it is hoped
that. he will soon be well.-Hudson IN

An Awful Moment.

Last night man who had been play
ing for four or five hours at faro-table
in Virginia said, in quiet, determined
tone, to the dealer as he laid his last
dollars worth of checks on the tray
and five: "If lose that I'll blow my
brains out'' There was hush in that
small room where souls are bartered
nightly for the chance of winning gold.
Youths, fevered with the excitement of
the hazard, drew back at the awful
threat, and old gamssters cast an eye of
dread upon the pale-faced man VINO
staked his life upon a card. The gay
murmur which almost always rises from
group of gamblers was hushed. The
long, thin fingers of the dealer trem-
bled. His colorless face twitched nerv-
ously. The jaw of the attending waiter
dropped, and his tray was held me-
chanically by the nerveless hand.
Slowly the cards were thrown from the
little silver-box.o The five lost! The
money of the ruined gambler was add
ed swiftly to the dealers hoard. The
features of the lost gambler were ter
rible to behold. With one swift gesture
of despair, he turned and said to friend
in husky whisper, "Bob, lem me a
dollar" ''Go to blank" replied the
faithless friend, as he laid four-bit
check on the king. Then the relenting
suicide passed out and stood Fatty
Evans off for plate of oysters.-Gold
Hill (Nev.) NeaOs.

A New Mode of Washing.

The ill effects of soda on linen have
given rise to new method of washing,
which has been extensively adopted in
Germany, and introduced into Belgi-
um. The operation consists in dissolv-
ing two pounds of soap in about three
gallons of water as hot as the hand can
bear and adding to this one tablespoon
lul of turpentine and three of liquid
ammonia; the mixture must then be
well stirred, and the linen stepped in it
for two or three hours, taking care to
cover the vessel containing them as
Theoretically as possible. The clothes
are afterwards washed out and rinsed
in the usual way. The soap and water
may be reheated and used second
time, but in that case half teaspoon
full of ammonia must be added. This
process is said to cause a great econo-
my of time, labor and fuel. The linen
scarcely suffers at all, and its cleanli-
ness and color are perfect. The am
monia and turpentine, although their
defensive action is great, have no inju-
rious effect on the linen and while the
former evaporates Immediately, the
smell of the latter is said to disappear
entirely during the drying, of the
clothes,

A Runaway Locomotive.

Last Monday noon, says the Smyrna
Del.) Times, the locomotive on the
Smyrna Branch Railroad ran away and
nearly killed itself. After bringing the
| noon train into town, and after Engi-
neer McCOnaughy had started to
dinner, the fireman, John Shorts,
cut the locomotive loose from the car
to shift lit the other track and get it
out of the way of frightened peach
team. He turned on steam, and as he
did so the pin fell out of the throttle
bar. He could not shut her off after
that and away she went at break-neck
speed through Commerce Street to
Clayton. Shorts made a perilous leap
from her as she whizzed by Union Street
and saved himself, though he was
Topped over and over in the dusty
street when he struck the ground. In
just one minute from the time Shorts
'pulled out the stopper here the To-
comotive was ruined mass at Clay
ton. The distance between the two
points is one mile and a quarter. As
quick as possible a telegram was sent
to Clayton to ssswitch her off," but
she beat the telegram by about two
lengths and had spread herself pretty
well over the depot ground when the
dispatch reached there. She did not
obey the curve at Clayton at all, but
shot off in a straight line across the
grounds. She jumped off with such
force as to throw herself fiat on her
side, and in this condition she smashed
into the platform along the main track,
near the north end of the depot. She
slid along sideways for 1e0 yards or
more, swapping bolts and rods as if they
were ropes of sand. Her wheels that
were uppermost whizzed round like a
top, and the raging steam Kissed ike
mad from every aperture. Fortunately
the exhaust pipe broke, or she might
have burst her boiler. The whole af-
fair was over almost as quick as wink.
In two hours after wrecking train
from Wilmington was on the spot, and
by O'Clock the wreckers had picked up
the pieces, put the wreck on the track
and were off for the repair shops.

CANTON, MISS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER

god to travel an appointed way. By
the continued repetition of the story of
the work or feats of this sort of god, in
each case his name becomes intimately
associated with the specific phenome-
non of nature, and eventually symbol
for this particular power, process or ap-
pearance on earth, air or sky. There
are very few pure nature myths among
North American Indians. There is no
pure nature worship. A hero, beast, bird,
serpent, or theo-fetich, forms the ply
sical basis of the nature god, and the
same remains when other traces disap-
pear. Many of the brilliant and beau
tiful attempts at interpreting Indian
mythology have failed because of these
circumstances not being understood.
When Europeans first came to this
country they found the tribe most adj
vanced in mythology, when they were
passing from mixed theo-fetichism,
animal gods, and hero gods, to the wor-
ship of nature gods. But no native
North American people have been found
fully emancipated from the lower char
acteristics of their mythology. The
present condition is q growth from
fetichistic polytheism, not degenera-
cy from an original nature worship
through freaks of symbolism and tricks
of language. The growth from the
lower form can be distinctly traced to
the various NEUROLOGICAL conditions of
the different tribes.
The fable lore must be the subject of
a separate essay. The mode of wor-
ship and the means of communicating
with the gods offer material for still
more extended consideration. 1t may
here be mentioned, however, that the
chief means of communication are sor-
Gerry Gncluding witchcraft), prayer,
dancing, singing, baptism and sacri-
fee; amulets are used to send little
gods after big ones, as well as the more
direct powers or influence they are
supposed to possess.

TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

Two famous oarsmen, Obed and Mark
Smith, the former of whom was one of the

A Queer. Marriage Stipulation.

Some time in August last an aged
man named John Humphrey died in
Appleton, Me-, aged about 83 years. He
was universally known as very miserly
man, and it was supposed he had more
or less hard money secreted about the
premises of his homestead. Eight years
ago he contracted with Samuel Ripley
to take his farm and provide a support
for himself and wife during their lives.
Mr.. Ripley, feeling satisfied that there
must be money somewhere secreted,
Immediately after the death of the old
gentleman began vigorous search for
the supposed treasures, and was liber-
ally rewarded for the search by finding
secreted in an lddesk two sacks filed
with double eagles of gold ($20 each)
to the amount of $1,000 in each sack.
There was also found in an old sink,
laid away in anunoccupied an closet, other
parcels filled with silver coins, many OF
them of ancient date, and mostly for
eign coin, among them many five-franc
pieces Gan old French coin), and also
Mexican dollars and Spanish coin.
1 learned from good authority that
Mr.. Humphrey denied himself and wife
even the comforts of life in order to
crafty his miserly disposition to hoard
up his earnings and savings. 1 also
learned, as related by Mr.. Humphrey,
that he first saw his wife in store try.
ing to drive very sharp trade with the
merchant, and discovering such a sharp,
shrewd, business tact, that he said to
himself, ssThat is the girl for me-" and
Immediately began cultivating an init
macy with her that resulted in mar
riage union of their efforts to get and
hoard their earnings, and no doubt ir
her days of consciousness she knew
where these treasures were secreted. i
is said that in their marriage contrac
many stipulations were made and agreed
to on both sides, one of which was
'snever to boil any meat that could bt

How He Was Interviewed.

Captain Coffin, a reporter OF the New
York World, was detailed to interview
John Morrissey on some topic of public
interest with which Mr.. Morrissey did
not wish his name to be publicly con-
nected. The Captain knew this, and
felt certain that he would not learn any
thing from him if he told his business;
SO he had recourse to strategy. Coffin,
who was for many years sea captain,
is short, thick-set, dark complexion
ed, middle aged man, who looks as lit
tie like a literary character as he does
like an angel. Feeling sure, therefore,
that he would not be suspected, he ap-
preached Mr.. Morrissey one fine after
noon, as he was standing in front of
hotel, and accosted him with hearty,
q" How dye do, JohnP'' Morrissey re-
turned the salutation, supposins that
Coffin was some old acquaintance he
had forgotten, and on Coffin's invita-
ton the two took drink and entered
into conversation. After time the
Captain mentioned, in a casual sort of
way, the topic on which he desired in
formation, when Morrissey interrupted
him with an: "Oh, pshaw, my dear
sir, know all about that. Now you
see''-arld so went on and told him all
he wanted to know. When he had
finished Coffin made his escape into
neighboring hotel, made some notes OF
all he had heard, and the following day
| - 10 4hnt
to see his statements in print in the
World. He says that was the only time
a reporter ever got the best of him.

number of exhibitors in all departments
is 30,S64, 2,129 being in the department
of mining and metallurgy, $3.50 in
manufactures, 2,49O in education and
science, 1900 in art, 2,26O in machin-
cry, 10, ,217 in agriculture and -1OS in
horticulture The number of exhibitors
from the United States is 8,175; from
Great Britain, 1,O04; from Canada,

list shows how deserving of the appel

exhibitors accredited to each country i
by no means indicative of the relativ
showing made by the respective coun
tries. Spain and her colonies and Por
tugal, it will be observed, are secon'
and third in the number of exhibitors
while the show made by these coun
tries, except in the one special depart
ment of agricultural, is far inferior t
that of several others.
