Six New York boys devised a novel
way in which to spend their sUmmer va
cation. They organized q minstrel
troupe and set out on a tour of the
state. White Plains was Their first
stand and the Oldest inhabitants say they
never saw anything equal to that min
strel show in atrocity, 1t opened with
a musical melauge by the company.
which held the audience spell-bOuud
with horror. The next piece was a
song by n of the Young men, whose
identity was concealed under burnt
cork. The agony Of his singing changed
the horror to delirium. He then
attempted a stump speech. This was
too much, as the company had recently
been visited by a peripatetic political
orator, and the audience made q wild
dash for the stage and cornered the
whole troup in one of the dressing
rooms. But the MINISTRIES got the
door barred and kept out the mob
while they made terms of peace. One
of them finally yentured out and set
up a whole keg of beer on the street.
There was a demand for two kegs, and
while the dispute was yet under way
the other five Ministries escaped by a
back door to their hotel and lock-
ed themselves. in their rooms,
They are supposed to have spent the
night in devIsing another plan Of
spending their holidays as they took
the first train next morning for home.

Antiiotes To Snake PoisOnS.

In her boot. Snakes. Curiosities and
Wonders of Serpent Life Miss Cath
crime c. Hopley writes on the sub ect
of The NenOms and Their Remedies, y
As follows:
10 conceive of an antidote IN snake
poison in the true sense If the term
S.r John Fayrer explains. lone must
imagine q substance so subtle As 10
follow. Overtake AMI neuiralize the
venom in the blood; one that shall have
the power Of counteracting and neu-
t alizing the deadly influence it has ex-
erted on the vital forces. Such q sub
stance has still to he found. and our
present e <perience of the action of drugs
does not lead to hopeful anticipation
that we shall find it."
With regard to the many drugs used
in various countries for the cure OF
snake bite. it is curious TO note that ~
a rule. they are procured from the most
deadly plants. As like cures like. so
poison cures poison. P~ennyroval. saws

who by turning and weighing. iab0red
hard to AVOID It, and in half an hours
time was killed byit. This was in July.
at which season these creatures are
computed TO be in the greatest vigor of
their poison.
Another drug which is poison to a
venomouS snake is tobac o. within the
reach o. most persons. This. among
native remedies. has always been n
favor. and we have heard of t. ~eiicacy
ever since the weed WAS known 10 Eu-
ropeans. Various species Of tobacco
and its allies are indigenous 10 most
tropical countries. and probably were
long before civilized n lions took com
fort IN smoking. Man ,arries more
poison in his mouth than a snake. said
an old Nirginian writer. alluding 10 R.co-

while his conlrade took from his own

CHAPTER XXIlI.


About three o'clock on that day Mr..
Whittlestaif came home. The pony
carriage had gone to meet him, but
Mary remained purposely out of the
way. She could not rush u to greet
him. AS she would have done had his
absence been occasioned by any other
cause. But he had no sooner taken his
place in The library than be sent for
her. He had been thinking about it all
the way down from London, and had IN
some sort prepared his words. During
the next half-hour he did promise HIM
self some pleasure; after hat his life
was I o be altogether q blank to him.
He would go. To that only he had
made up his mind. He would tell
Mary that she should be happy. He
would make Mrs. Baggett understand
that for the sake Of his property she
must remain at Cookers Hall for some
period to which he would decline 10
name an end. And then he would GO.
"Well, Mary" he said. smiling, $50

to have been quite sur that her lover
would not have been SO dull.
Il dare say"
Il d dn't mean that l knew"
.But you did"
'1Oh. Mr.. WhittleStaf! But l will
not attempt to deceive you. If you lef,
