A cure for Snake Bites.

A gentleman from the vicinity of Dal-
ton canyon informed reporter that
very exciting little episode occurred
up in that canyon on Tuesday, and
one which promised for time to re-
suit in the horrible death of wood
chopper, whose name he was unable to
learn. The man had been cutting stove
wood for some days, and had four or
five cords of wood piled up in different
places along the canyon.
On Tuesday morning he started in to
cord up the wood, and worked faithful
ly until about 10 o'clock, when large
rattlesnake. which was coiled up under
the edge of the wood, bit him three
times in rapid succession on the hand
and arm. The poor, unfortunate man
was three or four miles from a habita-
tion, and had nothing at hand to coun-
teract the fatal poison.
Suddenly, however, his eyes fell upon
a familiar little vine, known as the Ari-
zona rattlesnake vine He had pros
pected in Arizona years ago and knew
of the virtues OF this little fine leaVed
milk weed vine, but he had no means Of
making tea of it. Nevertheless he at
once, as rapidly as possible, gathered q
large bunch of it, lay down under the
shade of small oak tree and began to
chew it. swallow the juice and apply
the mascerated leaves to the bites.
He grew dizzy and faint for while,
until the medical qualities of the weed
began to take effect. He continued to
chew and swallow the antidote, and the
painful effects of the poison grew grad
ually less. at about o'clock he was
able to start for home, where he arrived
with but little inconvenience. He con-
tinued the remedy, and by 10 o'clock
Tuesday night was to all intents and
purposes entirely recovered.-Pomona
(Cal.) Times.

An exchange tells Of the peculiar ap-
petite Of dog owned by Butte City
merchant, whose latest exploit was to
swallow a diamond stud. lunch on a roll
Of greenbacks, and, by way of a dessert,
thoughtfully masticated pair of British
half hose. Evidently this is no ornery
purp, still for marked epicurean eccen-
tricities it cannot compare with saf-
fron-hued bird dog we once owned. This
thoroughbred animal developed delicate
tastes quite early in life.
On one occasion while we were absent
from the house he plundered a cage con-
tanning a pet canary bird, killed the
fluttering inmate, plucked the feathers
and then laid the bare little body in a
frying pan over a gas stove, where it
was left until the skin turned beauti-
ful brown. We came back just as he
intelligent canine was adding the proper
proportions Of pepper and salt 70 the
cooked mOrsel, when be bolted the meal
hastily for fear of interruption and then
scOoted through the open door.
After remaining away for two days he
returned with fine young pullet in his
mouth, stolen from a neighboring hen
merry, and this he placed at our feet,
wagging his tail and winldng his eyes
significantly, as much as to say, This is
to square the roast canary bird" 1t
really was very tender chicken.-Sam
T. Clover in Chicago Herald.

No Fitting Necessary.

Women who find it difficult to spare
the time and strength at the dress
makers for the fitting and trying on OF
two or three gowns a season comment
sometimes upon the trouble their more
fashionable sisters must take who own
dresses by scores. In point of fact the
latter have an easier time getting twenty
than the former three.
Most wealthy and dreSsy women have
at their dressmsker's gown form of
themselves, which is a plaster of paris
cast taken from life. Every detail of
the corseted and bodiced figure to the
waist line is accurately reproduced, and
this half body is then mounted upon q
skirt form of the same height as the GUS

Madame or mademoiselle, as the case
may be, then spends d single morning
with her dressmaker choosing fabrics,
studying effects, indicating occasions
for which gowns viii be needed and the

fitted to her counterfeit presentment
and when finished sent home, often not
needing the alteration Of a single hook
or loop.-New York Times.

Words to the Wise.

There is certain distinct but subdued
tone of voice that is peculiar to persons OF
the best breeding. It is better to err by
the use of too low than Of too loud tone.
Never resume your seat after rising TO
depart. 1t is extremely awkward to take
leave twice.
Never take dog into drawing room
when you make call. For many reasons
visitor has no right to inflict the society
of his dog on his acquaintance.
It is extremely rude to make invidious
comparisons between the house in which
you are visiting and other homes with
which you may be acquainted.
Do not trespass on the good nature Of
your friends by taking children with you
unlimited.

IL Is, IL Is sranchly built and can stand
the strain of storm as well as its adver-
sary. All men save one are snugly shut
inside, tending the flying engine and
preparing the missile of destruction.
This is a strange bolt, shaped Like CT
gar, over ten feet in length, and the
crew place it in the bow tube. The man
on deck stands behind little iron tower
which shields him from the shock of the
waves, and there he steers the boat.
In the darkness they seek their adver-
sary determinedly, and with deadly pur-
pose, since they are the protectors OF
their native land. The boat searches
for time in vain, for the big ship has
covered all lights and is lying like a
sleeping monster upon the waves, await
ing morning to renew the havoc. Per-
haps if the ship remained thus the little
boat would never find her; but Goliath
becomes uneasy: he fears David" VIII
make an attack, so he has determined to
watch.
A dazzling cone of white light sudden
ly starts from point in the darkness
and broadens upon the water. Slowly
it sweeps about over the sea in circling
arcs. All at once the little boat is bathed
in a brilliant, binding glare. The mon
ster's eye finds itl But in finding the
enemy the battle ship has disclosed itself,
and the dauntless little adversary steams
straight forward at utmost speed.
Streaks of fame are now shooting from
under the white light, while the rafting
reports of rifles and machine guns rise
sharply above the winds roar. Shot and
small shell are falling about like hail
upon the water, but the monster cannot
keep the range of the onrushing boat,
and the missiles fly wide of the mark.
Suddenly the great ship looms up
tall, long, shadowy, overpowering. 1t
is not far off-almost near enough to be
attacked. Yet little closer, and the
intrepid pigmy, still unharmed, slows
and steadies, with that ominous black
tube pointing toward the monsters blaz-
ing side. Shots are falling upon the
boat, and the man who was steering has
taken refuge in his iron tower; but in
side there is wheel, and he can steer as
well as before, for around him on level
with his eyes are little sits through
which he can see. Now seconds are
precious if the brave little craft is to
escape destruction. The moment has
come! A lever is pulled, and from that
black tube comes a snort, hoarse roar.
AT once the little boat begins to turn,
ready to escape with the speed of the
wind.
But before the boat can turn dull,
heavy shock has Jared the sea. A gi-
gantic column of white water rushes up
ward toward the black clouds. In it the
tall masts Of the monster ship seem to
sway about and clash together. The
banging of the guns is sharply succeeded
by cries Of human terror.
The mass of water falls back into the
sea with a roaring crash and scatters
over the waves in great wisps of glisten-
ing foam. The wind, sweeping ON again,
forms new waves over the disturbed
water. The monster ship has disappeared
the Goliath of the deep is conquered
by mis- pigmy antagonist.-John N. Eli

A Craze for Rings.

Men are wearing a great many rings.
It's so English, you know, and it is no
uncommon thing to count four or FIVE
handsome rings upon the hands of fault
lessly attired young men. | saw man
the other day who wore diamond, en-
erald and ruby ring, with a second one
studded with one big diamond on the
third finger of his right hand, and a
snake ring and a flashing sapphire on
the little finger of his left. His shining
patent feathers prevented one from see
ing whether he wore bells on his toes.
A man sat opposite me in a street car
a day or two since who wore a diamond
nearly if not quite as big as the head
light of locomotive, and he constantly
tapped with his gem incrusted fingers
upon the seat, and the whole place was
filed with great light, so that the eyes
of all beholders were dazzled. Thumb
rings are constantly growing in favor
both with men and women. They are
supposed to be mascots and the super
stitious cultivate them. Nellie BY, or
Miss Cochrane, as she prefers to be
called, wears one.-New York Cor. Chi
