Burial In Mud Cures a Negro of a Rattle
snake Bite.
An Fl Dorado Springs MOI correspond
ent of the Los Angeles Times says: Just
south of this place is large colony of ne
groes and a strange cure is reported from
their village. A stream, into which empties
the waters of the springs which make this
town famous, runs through their settlement.
They claim that the stream and the mud
which is made from its waters possess re-
markable curative powers Their claims
are now borne out by fact which is worthy
of investigation by the medical fraternity
Some DAYS ago a negro boy was playing in
the bushes and was bitten by large rattle
snake. the wound sweled and the arm be-
came so large that 1t looked as if it would
burst. The boy went home as rapidly as
possible, and when he got there he was al
most dead with poison.
Instead of sending Tor doctor or dosing
him with whisky, according to the regula-
ton treatment, the boy was taken to the
bank of the stream and literally buried in
the mud. He was so covered that only his
face appeared. He was kept in this posi-
ton for TWO hours, when another hole was
dug and the boy again buried. When the
transfer was made it was seen that tho
swelling had almost entirely disappeared
from the arm, and the boy said he telt much
better. He was kept in the second hole for
two hours and then taken out and placed in
bed and fed on strong chicken broth. His
recovery was very rapid, and on the second
day there was no sign Of snake-bte ex-
cept the marks of the teeth, which looked
like pin-pricks The negroes say that this
method is used by them because their oldest
men and women say that it is right, and
that they had been taught il when they
were children, and they suppose that it
came down from the African forests, where
their race was so apt to be bitten by snakes
of a poisonous nature.

MRS. COOPER,S GLASS.
The Essential Question In Regard to Re-
rs~f,


ligious Belief.
The subject of the lesson in Mrs. Coop
er's Bible class yesterday was 1.-The heal
ing of the blind man." One of the princi-
pal topics discussed was: Look out fol-
chances to do good as you pass by. Jesus
was never so busy that he did not find time
to answer all calls of distress and misery.
1t is to be noted that he mnistered to the
body first before he gave the spiritual
lesson. He gave the loaf before he gave
the sermon. Food Is sort Of John the
Baptist to prepare the way to the Lord. 1t
it is of no use to US to hand people over TO
Gods mercy if NE show no mercy ourselves.
The disciples regarded this poor suffering
blind man as a sort of theological problem.
They said: "Who did sin; this man or his
parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus
gave them very prompt rebuke.
There are two ways Of suffering. The
disciples glanced at this man without pity.
Jesus was moved with compassion. TO
study human misery as mere material for
theological speculations; or for blam in G
somebody, or somebody's ancestry, is to
miss the true purpose for ourselves. The
supreme question to start with is, What
can we do to remove the suffering? If
there Is fire raging, put it out the first
thing; discuss the cause afterward. Some
people regard all sorts of suffering aud
misery as judgments. especially if they hap
pen to other folks. Jesus distinctly told
them that this blind mans infrmity was no
proof whatever of Gods frown. Quite the
reverse. God had for him purpose of
great mercy.
But it is to be noted that before those
ecclesiastical doctors that poor blind man
had hard time of it. Their religious
dOgmas were more precious to them than
human lives. This looks very hard and
hateful to US, as we look at it through the
long vista Of nearly two centuries. But how
is IL to-day? Is there nothing of this spirit
left in the world yet? Even the parents of
this blind man were aren't towards before
the questionings Of the doctors of the law.
1t is a fine thing to have the courage of ones
convictions. Fidelity to conviction is the
basis Of right action. This blind man was
made Of sturdy stuff and dared to stand up
for his Master and Helper. He was true to
the last bit OF light he had, and nobody ever
took this stand, that God was not with him.
And like the blind man they can say " One
thing l know, that whereas 1 was blind.
