Mental

What are the signs which indicate i'm.
pairment by over work. This question
is thus answered in the Sanitary Record:
"Overwork exists when the sense OF en-
ergy nee possessed is distinctly inn
paired; when it is found an effort to get
through what was once a cheerful task;
when what was once found comparative
ly easy is beginning to be felt a trial; aud
above all, when errors or omissions, the
direct outcomes Of a tagging and wearied
brain, commence to manifest themselves.
To spur on an exhausted brain, and by
application and longer hours OF toll to
compel the overtaxed nervous system to
complete its round of duty, is one of the
most disastrous aud romeo measures
that can be adopted. Whenever work,
itselfunaltered, looks larger than OF yore,
and is felt to be more trying, then the
system is commencing to feel the effects
Of overwork, which, however, may actu-
ally have existed for some time unno-
ticed. This is especially true Of the mo-
notonous labor which is undergone by
the clerks and subordinate officials Of
our commercial houses; if they are free
from the anxieties which affect the prin.
cipals, they are the more subject to the
wearing action Of monotonous labor

Rattle snakes ADd Thoir Ritrg.

hatAAe Snakes n Their REteg.
Popular Science Monthly.l
In the course of some notes on the
rsttlesnake, published in Forest and
Stream, DR.. ]. W. Bailey, of Albany, as
Serts that this serpent is the most slug.
gish of the snake family. 1t never strikes
unless IN self-defense, excepting Just be-
fore and after its winter sleep. OF course
the rattlesnake idea of self-defense is
rather broad. Thus, il d person step on
it by the purest accident, the snake will
make no allowance, but strike the intru-
der on the spot. To strike, however, it
must be in close coil, with its head erect.
1t is capable of springing only a little
more than half its length, unless it be
lying on an inclined plane; then, by sup
porting itself entirely on its tail, it can
spring much farther. Hogs attack the
rattlesnake with impunity, the effect of
the poison being probably l~eutralized BY
a thick layer Of adipose tissue. DR..
Bailey is able to contradict, from his own
experience, the statement that serpents
do not move about at night; he has often,
when riding by moonlight, seen them
gliding through the grass. The author
says that when the venom of a serpent
enters the circulation all remedies are
%unavailing. He has seen a freshly-killed
chicken split open and applied to the
wound with good results. In such cases
the flesh OF the chicken turns green and
putrid where it comes in eontct with the
virus. The most certain remedy, how
ever, is whiskey or brandy used in large
Quantities say a quart-immediately.
Intoxication is not exhibited until the
poison is co%unteracted, Sweet oil, taken
in doses of several ounces, is also efec-
tual, Sportsmen camping in Texas are
accustomed, after pitching their tent, to
stretch around it o hair lariat. The
short hairs irritate the snakes belly
as he attempts to cross the @lsriat, and he
retreats.
