hat Few 81 ThenA Are Poisonous and
rhese Can Bs Distinguishes
All'snalkes are naturally vicious, but
they are not all poisonous, says the De-
troit Free Press. None Of the larger
varieties are poisonous, and you can al
ways tell . poisonous snake by the
formation of his head, which is shaped
round. Back of the eyes there is high
lump rising from inside the head. The
harmless snake has long head and it
kills by crushing, while b poisonous
snake darts at you. The anacondas
hardly ever bite, and in Brazil It is quite
common for householder to keep .
fewof them around his residence for
the purpose of killing the rats, which
are ia great pest in that part Of the
world.
Among the poisonous snakes there is
the variety known as the coral, which
is found in Venezuela Anyone bitten
by q coral snake dies in the most horri-
BILE agony, his blood bursting or oozing
oat through the pores Of the skin. Any
snake TINT measures over seven or eight
feet is not poisonous; in fact, do not
know any that grow over six feet long.
The ra%tlesnulrc Is the LARGEST poison
ous snake we have in this country.
Then there are the denf adder, the
black water snake, the moccasin.
These arc about the only poisonous
snakes we have in tAe United States.
The men who call themselves ''snulke
charmers'' do not handle poisonous
snakes. If they have a rattlesnalSe they
extract his fanC:s, and in that way rem
der him perfectly harmless. THIS oper-
alton is easily performed by means of a
silk handkerchief, which is waved in
front of the GhalSe, who sneps at it
viciously, when the handkerchief is
suddenly pulled away, bringing the
fangs with it. Or you can cut the artery
that feeds the poison bag and thus de-
stroy the source of supply. This is q
rather difficult operation, however, Ill
though l have often had occasion to
perform it on ratt e"nakes. Something,
generally piece Of cork. is put in the
snakes mouth to keep it open; the

A CASE OF PLAIN ROBBERY.

1t is time to put refined sugar on
the free list, to stop the robbery of
the American people by the sugar
trust. Here are she facts: .,
The sugar trust now owns every
active sugar refinery in the United
States except three. Those three are
owned by large stockholders in She
trust, and are operated"ih harmony"
with it. The trust has, therefore, an
sctoal monopoly Of the business in
th4s country. The actual value of tn,
plants it controls is less than $4,000,
600, but the trust is capitalized 1T
$500, 900, and it will pay this year
"a per cent. on that false capitaliza-
tiou, or % per cent. on actual invest
ment.
1t was extorting less while It had
opposition, but since it bought up the
remaining opposition it asdeliberate
ly added three Fights of a cent a
pound to rsdned sugar. In other
words, it has levied an additional tax
of So, 500, = 90 a year upon the people
of the country who consume sugar.

There is nothing whatever given in re

the trust to undersell foreign com

rare occurrence of the conjunction of
Jupiter and Venus on the 9Th and

again by many persons. II has been
proven that Venus has an atmosphere,
from a luminous appearance around
the star seen at certain times. 1t was
colder some days in February than
for three years. Washington's birth
day was observed here by the usual
holiday in the schools. At night a
ball at the Hill Top House was large

made it success. The house was
attractively dressed in flowers. hunt

Washington City for the occasion and
after midnight a sumptuous supper
was served. A correspondent of the

District Club Convention.

WREREAs, It is deemed to the best interests
of the party and that It will better serve the
majority of tho clubs to hold Congressional
Conventions, instead of State Convention of
Clubs, and with view of making the organi-
cation of clubs moro efficient by the organlza-
ton of Congressional District Associations of
Clubs it is therefore ordered that Conven-
sional district be held on
Wednesday, de first day Of June. 1892,
at the following places: For the First Congress
slonal district, at Weston; for the Second
Congressional district, at Charles Town for
the Third Congressional district, at Charles
ton. and for the Fourth Congressional district,
1t Ravenswood; for the purpose of organizing
District Associations of Democratic Clubs and
before the Convention. In such Conventions
local clubs will be entitled to the following rep
regentation: All clubs with o membership of
one hundred or less will be entitled to five del
egates; with more than one hundred and less
than two hundred, seven delegates, and with
two hundred or more, nine delegates.
The object of calling said Conventions to
ventionG TO elect delegates to the National Con-
Vention, Is to afford delegates the opportunity
of attending both Conventions, thereby saving
both time and expense. The County Commit
tees and those heretofore appointed to organize
clubs, and all Democrats who believe in such
an organization of the party as will make It
iuTincible in the coming campaign are re-
quested to assist in the work of organizing
clubs In every mRgisterial district and to have
properly represented at the Conventions.
