Spelling the Cobra.

A correspondent writes to the Bangalore
Daily Post: sit might seem highly ridicu-
lous to some Of your intelligent readers to
be told that there is such thing as spelling
the cobra, which is in great belief among
the uneducated Hndus. | was once called
for assistance in a house in Madras where
cobra was seen entering the crevice of a
tiled roof, and there comfortably lodged
itself. The inmates of the house becoming
alarmed, they engaged the services of a
snake-charmer, with view of getting him
to dislodge the reptile from its comfortable
apartment and then Slaughtering it. The
snake-charmer, with his music on the rude
instrument endeavorod his best to charm
the cobra, to induce it to vacate its tempo
rary lodgings The reptile did not hearken
TO his enchantment, but chose TO remain
where it was, and in way defied him. The
snake-charmer was not to be fooled for if he
was, he would have lost his reward for not
having des royed the snake. Nothing
dauuted. he obtained from the inmates a
quantity Of cloves and garlic and threw it
into chatty of charcoal fire and allowed
the fumigation to be kept on for an hour.
The fumigation produced n most wonderful
effect on the reptile so that in few hours it
was unable 10 open its mouth and could not
move from the spot where it lay. This
among the natives is called rd,tu quito.
which interpreted in English is mouth
tied.'1 TGe cobra was speI-bound, 50 TO
say, and few days afterward it was found
dead and attacked by ants. This having
dispelled the fears of the inmates, the snake
charmer obtained his well-earned reward
for his labors, which seemed 10 them a mir
acle. There is nothing fictitious in the story
/ have related.

CLOSING OUT THE CELEsTIALs.
The Vote on the Motion to Reconsider
to be Taken To-Day.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The Chinese ex-
clusion bill was taken up in the Senate to-
day, and Mr.. Jones of Nevada proceeded to
address the Senate in favor of its immedi-
ate passage.
Mr.. Vest followed in opposition to Mr..
Blair's motion to reconsider.
The debate was continued by Messrs
George, Blair, Butler, Morgan, Salisbury
and Harris, all in favor of reconsideration
of the vote, Mr.. Blair giving
notice that if the motion prevailed he
would move his amendment in modified
farm, and MIR. Harris giving notice that
in the same event he would move to refer
the bill to the committee on foreign rela-
tions. Mr.. Blairs amendment, as he pro-
posed to modify it, was to the effect that
the bill shall not take effect until Nov.
next, unless the pending treaty shall be re-
jected by China before that time, but
shall take effect Immediately on
such rejection, and that the President shall
at once make known to the Chinese govern
ment the passage Of the bill.
AT the suggestion of Mr.. Sherman it was
agreed that the vote on Mr. Blair's motion
to reconsider shall be taken at 2 o'clock to-
morrow, and then after a brief executive
session the senate at 4:45 o'clock adjourned
There is now every reason to believe that
the Senate will tomorrow vote to recon-
slider its hasty action in passing the bill in
the very face of the Presidents message
giving the information that the Chinese
treaty had not been rejected. Mr.. Cor
mans motion to refer the bill to the COM
mittee on foreign relations will then prevail.
The Pacific coast republican senators say
that if this is done they will have no hope
of carrying California for Gen. Harrison.

EVILS OF GUM CHEWING.

Girls Will Go Blind if They Keep On
Using Chewing Gum.
The Philadelphia Record has statement
from an optician of that city to the effect
that the girls using chewing gum are ruin
ing their eyes. He says: "If they are
chrome gum chewers they are heir to all
the infirmities that afflict the chronic whisky
drinkers. | have three girls who were ad-
dicted to the habit, but broke them from
it after great deal of persuasion and some
trifing punishment The Oldest girl has
evidences of the habit, though, and will
carry them to her grave"
"How are the eyes affectedW
"Well, the muscles of the jaw connect
with the spine, and from the spine there are
little tibrous tissues running in all direc-
tions A number of these extend TO the
eye, and are called the optic nerves. Now,
if you will watch a person eating you will
notice a palpitation of the temples when the
lower jaw moves up and down in the pro-
cess OF masticatlon. This is caused by the
working of the optic nerves, which keep
the inner part of the eyes in motion and ex-
ercise the nerves as much as is needed to
keep them in a healthy condition. These
nerves are more tender and sensitive to
degree than one would imagine When
they are overworked they become shrunken
and enfeebled, and then the process of de-
terioration in the eyesight begins. OF
course the shrinking of the nerve draws the
eye back into the socket, and it is connected
by slender threads OF tissue to the pupils of
the eye: this also becomes affected. The
consequence is that the eye becomes weak
and loses its color; it becomes an unnatural
looking gray, and the vision is so much
impaired by it that eyeglasses must be re-
sorted to-
Zone of my girls uses shaded glasses, Just
because she chewed SO much gum. Her eye
sight is practically ruined, and she has
crows'-feet wrinkles about the outer corners,
that wore caused by the flesh of the cheek be-
ing forced upward by the action of the jaw.
She is also troubled with indigestion from
the same cause. These are all symptoms
exhibited by a person who drinks whisky
plentifuly, and hence the comparison. Pa
rents ought to take this matter in hand, and
see if they cannot rid their girls of the
habit. II is filthy one outside of the terri
bic effect it has upon the human system.
If the parents will keep from their girls
some of their little perquisites until they
stop chewing gum, they would soon give up
the habit"

a Fair Widow Forced to Discard Her
Wedding Gown and Return to Her
Weeds.
From the PittSbur0 Dispatch.
OTTAWA, ONT, Sept. 8.-A large and
fashionable audience gathered in st. Bar
tholomews church last evening to witness
the marriage of the Rev. Marc Ami to Mrs.
Grayburn. The groom failed to put in an
appeara nee. After waiting for nearly an
hour some one mustered up courage to tell
the bride-elect that he had been seen on
board the New York train the night before.
The widow tainted, but regaining her senses
she at once sent for a detective to hunt up
the parSon at any cost. This afternoon,
again assuming her widows weeds, she
repaired to the office of Ter lawyer into
whose hands she placed her case, instruct
ing him to at once commence SUIT for
S25, 900
About two weeks ago the reverend gen
tleman was introduced to the widow, and
with him it was a case of love at first sight.
At his request she resigned her situation
and accepted his proposal of marriage
The short courtship was conducted without
the knowledge of the prospective groom's
family, who only learned on Tuesday of the
affair. EntreaUies failed, and at the threats
of his irate sons he only laughed. So, it is
said, the old gentlemans toddy was
drugged, and while in a state of semi
consciousness he was spirited away to the
railway station and placed on board the
night train for New York with one of his
sons, who telegraphed from New York to-
day that his father had started on one of
the French steamers for France, perfectly
Ieconciled to his fate and the loss of the
widow.
