wben snake-Polson Is Harmless.

Nature seems to have provided that
no poison which acts externally shall
have any effect internally, and vice
versa. Thus the most deadly snake
venom can be swallowed with impun-

bly, decomposing II and rendering 1t
harmless. Many experiments, says the
Washington Post, have been made TO
prove this On one occasion recorded
by Humboldt one person swallowed the
whole OF the poison that could be OBJ

Now 1t happens that the Indians are all

owners do choose to enjoin them.
Wherefore, concludes Harper's Maya
zine. the Indian remains perpetually
embargoed. When the young Indian
has grown large enough to dowhat may
be regarded as mans work he enters
service. He receives the habitual
recompense of nine soles per month.
On this sum he cannot live. The master
knows 1t, the Indian knows 1t; but what
Is TO be done when such is the estab-
lished stipend throughout the length

is, receiving none of the commonest

A JUDICIAL KINDERGARTEN
Ensctive Use Of . Sign Language In Sen

Ensctive Use Of . Sign Language In ssn- /
fencing = Prisoner.
Once upon time, says the San Breu-
cisco Examiner, there was a 5udge
named Redman, who presided over
big territory, which kept him racing
from Santa Cruz to Salinas and San
Luis obispo. The Spanish population
was the chief race to be found In thai
district, and Redman knew but two
words in that language, which were
mo tiende," and was put to the neces-
sity Of employing court interpreter,
who attended him In his rapid tour OF
the big circuit.
1t happened that murderer was 10
be sentenced In Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended, miles
away, on the same day. Redmans IN
terpreter had gone off to fandango In
the wilds somewhere and could not'be
found when court was opened, and Red
man was In fury of impatience. At
last, when he could endure the delay
no longer, he said to the man below IN
the dock: -,
''Prisoner at the bar-stand up"
"No tiende," said the man, shaking
his head stupidity. :,
"You don't savey, do you?" exclaimed
the Judge sharply. "Well, do you un-
derstand thisP" and he proceeded To-
gesticulate vigorously with his hands
and indicate the motion Of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffiy in his seat.
"Prisoner at the bar, it is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
97th day OF June next, be hanged by
the neck until you are dead, and may
God have mercy on your soul. Now
do you savey thatP"
The poor prisoner shook his head in q
bewildered fashion, and could only cry;
"No tiende, no tiende."

court who can translate that awful
sentence to this prisoner" demanded
the Judge Of the half dozen OF officials
and spectators in the room. They were

reeled yard Of red tape that lay on hi
desk, and, twisting 1t hurriedly abou
his own neck, held the two ends higl
over his left ear, at the same time roll

Strength of the Prohibition Party.

The election returns Of the last four
years give some interesting information
as to the strength of the Prohibition party
and lis distribution. In 1888, at the last
presidential election, the party cast 24O,0O7
votes, which was little more than 81 per
cent of the total vote. In the congress
sional elections two years later, 1890, the
vote was lighter, being 19S,SSO, but the
percentage remained very nearly the same,
being a little over per cent. But while
this was the proportion Of the total national
vote, the power of the party in the several
states is by no means indicated by It, In
1888 there were electors named In every
state but one, South Carolina, and the vote
ran from Al In Nevada to 30,231 in New
York. In Wisconsin it was 14,277; II
Minnesota, Is, ,311; in Pennsylvania, 2O,947
in Michigan, 2O,942; in Illinois, 1885
in Ohio, A,85O. In some Of the states tn
proportion was nearly . per cent, in seV
eral Il was between 4 and per cent. TIL
il not vote that can elect a president, bu
II may easily defeat one, and in state poll
tics II may be very important. As 1t Is
state legislation that the principle OF pre-
hibltIon must be carried out, these figure
are significant. t.-Harper's Weekly.

AN AWFUL FALL.
IL Was Two Miles, But tho Faller Was

rhe experimenter was Lieut.. Mans
field of the Royal Naval Reserve, says
London Invention. He made his ascent
from the Victoria gardens recently, sit
ting upon a trapeze Immediately be-
meath the balloon, to which was also
attached parachute Of new fashion
The whole rose to height which rem
dered even the big balloon itself scarce
ly visible in the cloudless sky. II was
now, as appears from this brave sea-
mans narrative, at an altitude Of eleven
thousand four hundred feet, or moro
than two miles, commanding vast
horizon, but the voyager's hands were
SO numbed that he was becoming un-
able TO feel the cords. "Then," says
Lieut.. Mansfield, '.fnding my apparatus
all clear, I took the balloon ring In
my right hand, drew myself clear OF
the trapeze and dropped down into
space" After descending with terrible
velocity for some distance the para
chute began to open. At ten thousand
two hundred feet he was falling at q
great speed, but was fully able TO con-
troll the apparatus. At ten thousand
feet he was sailing down calmly into
space. Then he drifted TO and fro in
various counter currents, and ut one
thousand feet exactly felt the heat
from long, red, iron chimney. Now
comes the more remarkable part OF the
narrative. steering my parachute" he
continued. "to the eastward, | dropped
her rapidly TO clear the buildings
ahead, and, seeing nothing but houses
TO descend ON, selected the Aattest 1
could find and dropped gently down on
it." A spectator who watched the voy'
age from the gardens gives a vivid 40
count of straining the eyes till he was
rust able TO discern tiny white spech
on the blue sky. After what seemed q
terrible length Of time, Lieut.. Mans
field became visible swinging under the
parachute, and working the valve lines
SO as to insure safe landing when h'
chose 10 make It. "Such complet'
master Of the air, says the eyewitness
''has never been seen before in this coun
try" The balloon fell, as was intend
ed, In the sea, where, being ftted wit
cork belts for the purpose, 1t was easil
recovered. Lieut.. Mansfield, who look
for great advantages from his manage
able parachute in naval operations, ha
announced that his next ascent will b
with an entirely new apparatus, sp'
cially adapted to military warfare.
