RATTLESNAKE GRASS.
An 4ntidOte for the Deadly Bite
Of Serpent.

In Thursdays CALL appeared a number
OF interviews with local physicians as to
the best remedies for the bite of the rattle
snake, apropos of the death of an Italian
vineyard-hand in the Santa Cruz Noun
tains from that cause. The remedies sug-
geSted we're the extraction of the poison by
sucking the wound, its cauterization, the
cutting out of the surrounding flesh, and
whisky.
Now comes Julius Pfster, from Arizona,
who smiles at the local physicians rene
dies, aud gives one warranted to cure every
case. 1t was given him by an old Arizona
miner, who has successfully treated many
cases.
In the Colorado Desert, growing in sandy
and grayely soils, and along railway
tracks between the ties, is q creeping vine
with small leaf and delicate pink
flower. AS our sagaclous mother, nature
always places the antidote beside the poi
son, so here, where the rattlesnakes are
most numerous and venomous, grows this
so-called ''rattlesnake grass" Gather the
whole plant, steep it-roots, flower, leaves
and all-into a thick reddish-brown tea
and bottle it. When the snake bites you,
Immediately apply the decoction to the
wound and you are cured.
This is probably the herb long known to
Indians as a sovereign remedy for snake
bite" AS we are importing song-brds
from England, pheaSants from Japan, fish
from Europe and the East, it may not be
amiss to scatter the seeds of this rattle
snake grass along the slopes of our foot
hills where the rattleSnake abOunds. Or
some enterprising druggist might make
pretty penny by bottling it for general con-
sumption. AT any rate, rattIesnake grass
ought certainly to be Incorporated into our
California flora.

porarily in Charge.
The man who owned the telescope at the
corner of Broadway and Chambers street
was called away and engaged a fakir to at
tend the business for him until his return.
The fakir's knowledge Of astronomy was
not profound, but he did the best he could.
step right up, ladies and gents" he ex-
claimed, with flourish, land take look
at the heavenly bodies. Here we have
Venus and AdOnis, Mercury, Satan and his

=" Mebbe the Dog-Star has tin can tied

site corner.
The interruption was treated by the fakir
with the contempt it deserved, and he con-
tinued:
"oyer here we can show you the beauti-
full planet Uranus, as the boys said when
the farmer chased them out of the orchard.
l am surprised, gents, that you do not come
up and take look at Venus. 1t may be
the last chance you'll get, as this beautiful
and accomplished star Is now receding from
the earth at the rate OF million miles
minute. Such shrinkin' modesty Is not
often met with. We also have Romeo and
Juliet. am not certain, but l think they

the paltry cents We ask you for it. Over
here we have Raceland, Badge. Exile, In
spector b and some more Of the talent. Ii
you want to see Neptune in new bathn'
suit, now is yer chance"
The crowd did not seem to be greatly in
terested in the starry armament, and many
did not hesitate to jeer and scoff. This
hurt the fakirs tender feelings and he
wound up his remarks by saying, very
tartly:
Confound yer pictures! / could get
every nickel in the blo0miu' crowd if I did
tell we that this powerful telescope would
draw the man in the moon close enough SO
you could borrow dollar from him." and
be placed his eye 10 the instrument and
swept the sky for his own amusement.-N.

The scanda s she'd gathered around the town.
For women must gossip, or they can't sleep;
Their idea is that secrets weren't made to keep:
So they lean on the fence in the cleaning.
Two women sat out on the front-door stoop
In the evening glow, as the sun went down.
They told how their children had skipped the Group
And they sneered at the minister's wifes new

For women delight in friendly chat
Without it their lives would be stale and fiat;
So they sit on the stoop in the cleaning.
Two husbands came home from the baseball game
From the Office they sad) as the sun went down.
Both ready and eager to hear the same
Sweet scandals their wives had hunted down,
For men. though they work. love gossip, too
And that's why their wives seek something new
AS they meet and talk in the cleaning.

truth q, In the northwestern section Of
Sedgwick county there are hundreds Of
fields which will turn out very fair if
not quite an average yield.
Topeka Capital: james !. Anderson,
formerly engaged in the coal business
in North Topeka. but now farming near
Rossville, brought in some samples Of
corn taken from field of sixty-fiva
acres he is raising. The ears bel brought
in are fully developed, from ten to
thirteen inches long. 1t is thought his
field will yield seventy five bushels to
the acre.
Leavenworth Sun: From a gentle
man who has travelled through several
counties Of the state, and especially the
eastern portion, we learn that the corn
prospect is better than many people
imagine. Although not approaching a
full crop, it will be more than the aver
age, and our farmers will receive a
greater benefit from a smaller crop than
they did last year, when it was hardly
worth hauling to market. Corn at
wholesale is worth All cents.
