The effect Of snake bite depends partly
on the condition Of the snake and partly
on that of the person bitten and the part
attacked. No effectual antidote has yet
been discovered. Ammonia and per
manganate of potassium will not suffice,
although a solution of the latter will
take away the poisonous property of the
snakes venom if it be mixed Herewith.
Immediate amputation Of bitten toe
or finger is the best course, as the delay
of few seconds may suffice to convey
the poison into the patients circulation.
If from the nature of the part bitten
amputation cannot be performed, very
tight igature applied after conformation
and sucking the part is the best course,
and the administration of stimulants is
generally recommended.-Quarterly Re

The humor of the legal mind is some
times trife subtle. There is just now
to be seen in the window of famous
secondhand book shop in the Strand a
complete set of "Voltaire" in fifty vol
umes. The set is bound in what is tech
nically known as claw calf" 1t has
evidently belonged to lawyer who hest
tated to let his clients perceive that he
was given to reading anything SO mis-
chievously frivolous as the philosopher
of Ferney, or who could not resist his
own little joke. Instead, therefore, of
lettering the volume "Voltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed "Arouet's Reports :"
The joke would of course be lost upon
those who happened to have forgotten
that the great philosophers proper name
was Arouet de Voltaire. -London Cor

Reply from the Pew.

"Joe" Jones. one of Sans numerous
brothers, has enlisted in the ministry
His first sermon was preached in coun-
try church at Pine Log before large
congregation Of farmers, backwoodslnen
and crackers. Sans methods We're fol-
lowed with considerable success, but
when Joe branched off on his own hook
he struck snag. He caused his hearers
to vince when, Shaping the Bible nearly
off the pulpit, he exclaimed:
"a man what will cuss a oath'll
steal!'
There was lively shifting among the
pews and much cautious looking around
and head shaking. Joe saw. and deter
mined to push his point.
Brethren and sisters" he repeated,
II want to say to you that man what
will cuss oath'll steal! What have
you got to say to that"
An aged cracker arose at the back of
the church and, fastening his glittering
gray eye on Joe, drawled through his
nose:
"All | got ter say is it's er gol dern lie!'
Joe was so discouraged that he rested
on his oars two weeks before making
any more bold assertions.-NewY York

The CnrenSOning Crowd.

Speaking Of the queer things to be seen
on the streets, it is really astonishing
how instinctively one person initiates an
other. A man with a passion for psy-
chical research has been proving this by
some experiments which are, to say the
least of it, original Going along about
dusk the other night in advance of a
small party Of folk. he suddenly turned
out into the muddy street, as if avoiding
something in front. Unquestioningly
every person behind did the same thing
in spite of the mire.
1t isn't likely that they felt the full
humorous force of the incident in quite
the way he did, however, when they saw
him face about and walk calmly back in
the beaten path. The sheep went to all
the trouble of jumping over bar of
dust. to be sure, but it would really
seem worth while if human beings could
think little more independently and
for themselves. The truth of it is, it is
just this blind unreasoning herding to-
gether that leads to half the accidents
and panics which are cropping up on all
sides. Transcript.

Twas told delightful story Of one re-
cent action in which the Soudanese
troops took O prominent part The en-
emv was under cover not far off. but
the firing line of blacks were blazing
away at him as fast as they could open
and close their rifles. In vain their Of
ficers tried to stop them. The waste of
ammunition threatened to become ex-
tremely serious, and their commanding
officer, a Scotchman who had seen many
fights with them, losing his temper, rode
up and down behind the line cursing
them with every abusive epithet in a
fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in
vective, but entirely without effect. At
last one of them happened to turn and
discovered the beloved hey in evidently
very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, ran back to him, and patting
him reassuringly on the boot he said:
Don't be frightened, hey. Its all
right. We're here. Well take care of
you"
The Scotch hey, however, was equal
to the occasion. He rode out through
the line, and walked his horse up and
down in front of the rifles. Now" he
said, eff you must fire, fire at mel"
After this it is not surprising to read in
dispatches that this officer has twice re-

A pope with the evil Eve"

In the early years of his papacy, when
he was adored by the Roman people.
Plus TX was driving through the streets
of Rome and CHANGED to look up to an
open window, where nurse was stand
ing with a child. A few minutes after
ward the nurse let the child drop to the
pavement below and it was killed. In
stead of laying the blame to the care
lessness of the nurse it was laid to the
malevolent influence of the evil eye
and the fancy became universal among
the lower classes in Italy that the pope
had the evil eye, and it lasted until his
death. Travellers who knew of the be-
lief were often amused to see people
kneeling to receive the popes blessing
and at the same time holding the fingers
forked to break the maleicent power of
his glance. When Plus TX gave up his
liberal theories and fell back to the old
accustomed methods of government
there were an abundance of liberals who

DR.. J. H. Musser. of Lampeter, told q
remarkable story to a number Of the
members of the Lancaster County Medi-
cal society at the annual dinner on
Thursday. 1t was nothing more nor
less than the assertion that Mr.. John
Eshleman. the we'll known miller of
West Lampeter township, has a rooster
that lays eggs, When it first became
suspected that this rooster was usurp-
ing the rights which were previously
supposed to belong exclusively to the
hens-in other words. when it became
suspected that he was laying eggs-he
was penned up and watched. No one
had access to him but the family, and
consequently no trick could be played
upon them. He has thus far laid twenty
seven eggs, nine of them in three days.

JAY GOuld'S Book.

Occasionally some person knocks at
the door of Jay Gould's office in the
Western Union building with copy Of
"The History of Delaware County, New
York, by Jay Gould" to sell. An I'M
preston exists in the minds of many
people that Mr.. Gould is DESTROYS of
suppressing this publication as COM
pletely as possible, and that he will pay
almost any price to get possession Of the
few stray copies that are left. Resi-
dents of Delaware county are authority
for the statement that several years ago
an agent of Mr.. Gould's secured that
county for these books and bought near
ly all of them at fancy prices. When
ever a copy ut this particular history Of
Delaware county is displayed in that
county at the present day the older resi-
dents will advise the owner, "Jist you
take tibet down ter New York, an Jay
Gouldll give yer thirty or forty dollars
fer it." It is certain that nobody in Mr..
Goulds Office ever heard of his paying
any such price for one Of those books
And nobody is able to explain why Mr..
Gould should want to suppress the pub

The Use of the Knout in Russia.

"Forty stripes the judge may give the
culprit and not exceed" says Deuter-
onomy; and St. Paul says, "Of the Jews
five times received I forty stripes save
one" In those olden times, before the
religion of love and mercy had dawned
upon the world, the law of Moses de-
creed that forty was the greatest num-
Der of stripes that should ever be per-
Missile under any circumstances and
for the worst crimes. But in Christian
Russia they are not bound by any such
law, and nothing is there to prevent the
british cruelty Of the authorities of that
country to scourge man to death. And
the worst feature of the proceeding Is
that the cruelty is treated by the upper
classes, and more particularly by the
women, as a pastime which it would be
great loss to forego.
A soldier on duty at the powder maya
zine of the fortress Of Kallish, in west
ern Russia, had fallen asleep and was
sentenced to receive 200 strokes with the
knout. The place and the time Of the
punishment was fixed, and the officers
wives and daughters Of the garrison
were invited to witness the spectacle,
and they did not fail to be present in
full numbers At the fiftieth stroke the
poor victim commenced groaning pite-
ously. but soon ceased. and before half
the number of strokes was given the
body lay HlOtionlesS-stiff, as if dead.
A soldier who poured water over the
victims face was reprimanded by the
executioner. The body was then taken
to the hospital. The poor fellow leaves

Rice is used similarly at weddings in
