Bitten by a Cobra and Lives.
London Standard.

London Standard.
DR.. Vincent Richards has been grant.
ed an experience unique, probably i'll
the annals OF nlnnkind-fairly bitten
by u cobra, he has felt no consequence
es. At this moment, doubtless, he re.
crets the natural irritation which led
him to kill the reptile. We may safely
assume that its fangs were in working
order; but it would have been more
sltistnct ory to have had clear proof.
DIR. Richards collected number of
snakes for some experimental these
cases one can never be sure what class
OF experiment will turn up. however.
A lively cobra upset the program, fast
enin. upon the OPERATORS hand. He
laid the finger open TO the bone, above
the wound,and applied permanganate
OF potash--gentlemen OF prudent dis
position who consort with snakes
keep such materials handy. Then he
drove off for advice. Er. Macleod and
Sir Benjamin Simpson re-opened the
cash, cauterlzed 1t with nitric acid,
and the story ends. More than two
mouths have passed, and DIR. Richards
may pose, If he thinks fit, rs the hero
OF all observation-disclosures unparalleled.
1t is great pity, though, that he de.
stroyed the snake. Perhaps the re.
mains gave sufficient evidence of its
capacity for mischief; but if SO, the
report should have mentioned it. We
should like to know, also, how much
time was wasted in the impulse of in.
tlignation-but TINT will never be "a.
certained. For all lis presence of
mind. DIR. Richards did not consult u
stop watci;. probably, in fact, If he
had. the story would have been yet
shorter than it is. In treating the bite
OF IL cobra man must work against
time at awful odds, for one pulse beat
which carries the poison into the sys.
stem carries death-nt least such is
the impression OF the authorities. and
this case will be immensely valuable
il it show good reason to think that
the idea is exaggerated.

ANTICS OF A PET COON.

"But speaking OF COON" said John
Pimpson. Of Savannah, "did you ever

and he could get into more trouble
than all.the pets that ever lived on
fathers farm put together. Hewould
steal thread, thimbles, socks, combs
and brushes. Anything that was lost
would be looked for in the COON 8 nest.
He had a bed up on the plate of the
house, an oid-fashioned story.and-a.
half Lighthouse. Everything he got
hold OF he carried there. and in every
trouble he got into he made for that
place. Once I carried this coon with
me to q quilting at old man Bagley's.
Old man Bagley had a hcap
OF bees, and you know a coon loves
honey better then anything. The
quilting was proceeding nicely; all the
women folks sitting around plying
their needle, when in dashed the coon,
literally covered with bees. He rush.

insects. I tell you the quilting moved,
and chairs flew and the dresses flap

before. Pet coons were not worth
much in TINT market afterward. "This
same coon got me into trouble again.
lie would follow me all around the
place. One Sunday Frank and my.
sell went down in tho pasture, just be-
hind the horse lot, and the coon came
along to. In the pasture we decided
to take a ride npon u gentle horse
that was grazing there. We
got the horse by the name
and led him to u stump. and ]
got upon his back and Frank got up
behind me. Then the coon bounced
up on the stump and wanted to get
up too, so l reached down aud took
him in my lap. No sooner had the
full Of falling, stuck all tho claws he
had into the horses withers, and the
fun began. The horse went running
and kicking. Frank soon hit the
ground and left myself and the coon
holding ON for dear life. stuck on
till we reached the lot fence. and there,
us the horse mounted high and went
over, came down across the rails
and left the coon master of the situa.

soon the whole plantation was trying
to catch the horse to relieve it OF it's

Tommy Ryan's Brother.

washington Corr. New York Herald.
1t was stout, chubby little Irish
man, with u red face and a brosue
you could cut with a knife, vino APP.
preached doorkeeper Roome and
asked to see Tommy Ryan
of Kansas. Now, Mr.. Ryan, it should
be- known, is one of the most dignified
and exclusive congressman in public
life: Mr.. Roome, therefore, curious
to know the name of the person who
inquired for him so familiary, threw
an unusal interest into his tone when
ho asked:
"Whom shall say wants to see
him?" "1'ell him it's his brother
Mike, please
ellis brother Nike" re-echoed
Roone, incredulously. "Oh, no, you're
not his brother" "sure l am" was
the honest reply, "and here's Mary
Ann and the three children, who are
waiting for him also"
Mr.. Roome went in and reported
his errand.
II have no brother Nike" answered
the congressman, angrily. "Tell him
he must be mistaken"
But the visitor insisted that he was
not mistaken. ~ did not think u few
years in Washington would make so
great u change in Tommy" was his
mournful exclamation; "but," he add
ed. "Pve come all the way from To.
l,eka to see him, and l won't leave
here until do" and the look OF de-
termination which accompanied the
words showed that he meant it.
Again Roome disappeared within
the house. HE insists that he is
your brother and you have grown too
high-toned to recognize him." said
Roome to the Kansas representative.
BY this time big Tom Reed OF Maine
came over and wanted to know what
it was all about. Then Frank His.
cock and Col. Merriman and one or
two others lounged over and Joined
the group and began INVITING Mr..
Ryan with having gone back OH his
relatives because they had not yetgot
rid of their brogue. Finally Mr.. Ryan
cut the matter short by going out.
When lie told the visitor that he was
Mr.. Ryan the former shook his head
and said:
YOU'RE not Tommy. Hess better
looking man than you are"
After some conversation it was
finally discovered that the missing
brother was q laborer in the base
ment OF the capitol, whereupon the
Kansas tourist was piloted in that
direction. while the Congressman re.
turned to his seat.
