A Remarkable Cure.

A remarkable case of cure from the
bite of cobra in full poison comes
from Pachmarhi, military hill station
in the central provinces of India. The
effective bite of cobra is usually re-
garded as certain death, and the sue
cessful treatment of the case in ques-
ton will suggest to medical men the
value of hypodermic treatment in such
cases. According to the Allahabad
Ptoneer, post-office barbara (messen-
ger) was bitten by cobra. which was
afterward killed. The man was at
once taken to the military hospital. but
ten or fifteen minutes must have elapsed
before medical assistance was avail
able. When the patient was taken in
hand he was in a state of collapse. The
lower half of his body became gradu-
ally paralyzed, and BY degrees he lost
both speech and sight. The doctor at
this stage thought that nothing could
save the man, especially as the dead
snake had been examined and found to
be cobra in full poison. Hypodermic
injections and other obvious treatment,
however, were continued, and in about
ten hours some little Improvement in
the patient was observed. Suisse
queutly, the man quite recovered.
There appears not the slightest doubt
about his having been fairly bitten. for
irrespective of the symptoms, his little
finger had been torn open in shaking
the snake off. The cobra'.was four and
a half feet long.-N. 7. Post.

A Pubiic-Spirited Man.

Jim McSnifter was tried in the Dis
trict Court at San Antonio. Tex. for
stealing horse. After speeches were
made, the case was given to the jury.
Judge Noonan. who was on the bench,
said to the jury, as he handed the fore
man the papers:
The jury will now retire and delib-
crate on a verdict
The jurymen got up to go out, but
the prisoner graciously waved his hand
at them, and said:
''Gentlemen, you needn't 60 out on
my account. You can just stay right
here and discuss the matter. In fact,
I'd like to be present and help you
make up your verdict. l want to do
all | can to expedite justice"
The jury. nevertheless, retired, but
after several hours they returned, be-
ing unable to agree upon verdict.
Once more the prisoner arose in his
seat. and said to the jury:
Gentlemen, as far as 1 am con-
cerned few years more or less in the
Penitentiary is matter of no import
'ance. If you can not agree on five
years make it ten. l don't want to
have it said about me that L impeded

The Wild Horses of the West.

The wild horses of Wyoming and
Western Nebraska are compact little
animals. weighing 800 to 1,1O0pounds
The majority of them stand fourteen
hands high. In color they are usually
brown, sorrel or bay. A gray is seldom
seen. unless it is a horse that has
strayed away from civilization. Their
tails grow long. frequently dragging
on the ground, but their names are
like those of other horses and not
flowing to the knees, as represented in
some books. The eye, probably from
beng constantly on the watch, is
larger than the eyes of the domestic
horse, and even when tanned the eye
remains distinctive mark of the
horses origin. Wild horses, when
captured or tanned are superior to
other horses of the same size. Many of
them are used by the cowboys, and
others are broken to harness and driven
as carriage horses. being entirely trust

HEAT.

Some Remarks About the Evaporsting
Process Of the Human Economy.
1t is certain death to a man to have
his temperature rise about d Oxen de-
grees above the normal standard. Yet
one who has endured climate twenty
or more degrees below zero. can equal
ly endure one over a hundred degrees
above Indeed. some men work in an
artificial heat one hundred and fifty
degrees above, and some enter, from
time to time, a drying oven more than
twice as hot
1t is only when the air is dry that
such heat can be borne. A much
lower moist heat would be speedily
fatal. What keeps the temperature of
the body down in air that SO heats ev-
erythng else is the evaporation which
is constantly going on from the surface
and the lungs. Evaporation is cool
ing process. This matter of evapora-
ton Providence has so nicely adjusted
that the temperature of the body in
health remains nearly the same what
, ever. the outward temperature.
But should evaporation be checked
when the outward temperature is high.
dangerous results would follow.
Among these results are heat apopleXy,
or sunstroke. 1t is greatly checked
when the atmosphere is so charged with
moisture that it can take up little mois-
ture from the body. This is the at
mospheric condition known as
'-muggy." when the most copious per-
spiration seems to have little or no
power to cool. So. too. there is dam
ger, if the power to perspire is lost. or
greatly lessened. Any feverish eondi-
ton may induce this, and so may the
lack of fluid in the system Persons
who work under a high temperature
should drink freely.
The long-continued heat of summer
reduces the digestive power. and
hence. since few equally lessen the
amount of their food. causes more or
less disturbance of the stomach and
bowels. Most cases of cholera in
fantum are due to this simple fact
Teething in SUMMER is dangerous from
its tendency to feverishness, which
checks perspiratien. During a heated
term everything should be done to
keep the child cool; the least possible

body and cooling drinks. A sudden

"A tramp was met on country road
in.Oregon by a well-dressed man, who
offered to swap clothes. This was
deemed a crazy freak, but it was eager
ly accepted, and the disrobing and rob-
ing were quickly accomplished. The
fellow who was apparently benefited
by the queer bargain made off as soon
as practicable. for fear that the other
would seek to undo it; but the sup
posed lunatic was in the greater hurry.
for he had robbed a bank, and knew
that officers were after him with a de-
scription of his apparel as their guide.
Thus the wrong man WAS arrested, and
it was with the greatest difficulty and
delay that he cleared himself. CHICAGO
