A Specific for Snake Bites.

Quite O number of years ago a soldier
in India claimed to have q secret remedy
for the poison of the cobra, the most
venomous of serpents. 1t is generally
believed that his specific was all that be
alleged, but the authorities were slow in
buying his recipe, and he died before it
was made known. Very few Of the per-
sons Litten now recover, and the alleged
cures for the bites of other snakes are
far from certain in their operation.
Greater hope is to be placed In speedy
treatment, and in the exceptionally Wig
orous constitution of the patient, than
in any remedy. It is now announced
that injections of per cent. solution
of the permanganate OF potash Is sure
cure for snake bites. M. Lacerda has
experimental on a number Of dogs with
the bappiest effect in nearly every case.
The animals recovered, at furthest, after
twenty-five minutes suffering. Other
dogs inoculated with the same venom, to
whom the aptidote was not given, uni
formly died. The discovery, if con-
frmed, is of great importance. Many
thousands Of persons are killed annu-
ally in India by cobras and other snakes,
while the vipers of some of the West
Indian islands are hardly less destruct-
i've. We are not told what venom NJ.
Lacerda selected. The poison of some
snakes disorganizes the blood by separ-
ating the watery from the solid const.tu-
ents, That of others turn the blood into
Jelly. Whether the potash will prove
equally eficacious in regard to both
classes remains to be proved. Enough,
however, has been established to awaken
strong expectations of the discovery of
a much needed relief.

eonstabulsry for a limited period, half the ex-
pense to DO borne by the localities in which
they are placed.
The first steamship of new line bear.
ing the Chinese flag has reached the Thames

A horrible catastrophe occurred al
Vienna, the Austrian capital. Just before the
beginning of the opera the Ring Theater tool
fire through the falling Of lamp on the stage.
The house was pretty we'll filed at the time,
and the loss of life was very great. 1t is be-
heved that 800 persisted. Many persons were
injured in jumping from the third-story win
dows, and others were rsmpled on during the
stampede from the building. The cries of tile
unfortunate victims were heartrending in the
extreme.
An explosion occurred in a Belgian
colliery, causing the death OF sixty-six persons.
In Silesia cattle plague, said to

country, has made its appearance.
A requiem mass for the repose of the
souls OF the victims by the awful catastrophe

magnificent Gothic building, one of the largest

with members of the imperial family. court
officials and henderson, the Legislature. The
congregation was largely composed Of the be-
reaved, whose sobs echoed the solemn chant of
the Officiating clergy.

The Flving Dutchman,

A name given by sailors to a phantom
ship, supposed to cruise in storms off the
Cape of Good Hope. According to ira
dition, Dutch captain, bound home
from the Indies, with long, continued
head winds and heavy weather off this
cape, and refusing to put back as he
was advised to do, swearing terrible
oath that he would beat around the cape
if it took until the day of Judgment to
accomplish the feat. He was taken at
his word, and doomed to beat against
winds all his days. His sails are be-
lieved to have become threadbare, and
the ships sides white with age, and him.
self and crew reduced almost to shadows.
He cannot heave to or lower boat, but
sometimes halls vessels through his
trumpet and requests them to take let
tiers home for him. The superstition
has its origin in the looming or apparent
suspension in the air of some ship out Of
sight-a phenomenon sometimes wit
messed at sea, and caused by unequal re-
fraction in the lower strata Of the atmo-
sphere.
