a HUSBAND SUCKS PoIsoN.-Mrs. a. M. Willis,
jr., of Washington, Va, on Wednesday last was
bitten on finger by rsttlesnske. She insisted
that hor husband should at once cut her finger OIL
but instead Of following hor suggestion no APP
piled his mouth to the wound and sucked out
most OF the poison. Her arm on Thursday was
badly swollen up to tho shoulder, since which
time 1t has gradually reduced. Owing to the fact
that the snake was small one ard to the prompt
and dangerous action Of her husband she proba-
by owes her life; as it is very seldom that per-

majority against Mr. Harrison In 1883 was
