FACTS ABOUT SNAKES.

But Few of Them Arc Poisonous and
Those Can BE Distinguished.
All snakes are naturally vicious, but
they are not all poisonous, says the De-
troit Free Press. None of the larger
iarleties arc 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 a high
lump rising from inside the head The
harmless snake has long head, and it
kills by crushing, while poisonous
snake darts ut you. The anacondas
hardly ever bite, and in Brazil it is quite
common for n householder to keep n
few of them around his residence for
the purpose of killing the rats, which
are 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 coral snake dies in the most horri-
bic agony, his blood bursting or oozing
out through the pores of the skin. Any
snake that measures over seven or eight
feet is not poisonous; in fact, do not
know any that grow over six feet long.
The rattlcsnnkc is the largest poison
Gus snake we have in this country.
Then there are the deaf adder, the
black water snake, the moccasin
These are about the only poisonous
snakes we have in the United States.
The men who call themselves .'snake
charmers'' do not handle poisonous
snakes. If they have rattlesnake they
extract his fangs, 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 snake. who snaps 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 @
rather difficult operation, however, al
though I hive often had occasion to
perform it On rattlesnal<cs. Something,
generally>a piece of cork, is put in the.
snakes mouth to keep it open; the
teeth of the reptile become imbedded in
the cork, and you have chance to cut
the artery. Taking the teeth out of
rattlesnake is like pulling feathers out
of bird; they will form again.

accumulation of lost articles increases
very rapidly, and 4 large percentage of
them is never claimed. Just now the
display of umbrellas and canes is par

THE BOARD OF TRADE
Discusses the Salem and Craig
Railroad Matter

The meeting of tho board of trade
Monday night was well attended, and
the discussion of the Salem and Craig
railroad continued. Major Ballard ad-
vanoed plans by which the money could
be raised, and Mr.. F. e. Bachman, of
the furnace, described the rich mineral
section of Craig which the road would
tap.
Messrs. Bachman. Stras, Ballard and
Baer were appointed committee to con-
fer with the presidents of the land COM
panies to ask that they pursue the line
of action mapped out by Major Ballard,
or any other practicable line tending to
build this road. A letter was read from
an Ohio furniture concern which stated
that they desired to move South, and
the secretary was requested to ascertain
how they stood and what concessions
thew desired.

This ExactiDg Landlord Had Queer Ideas
of His Own.
The owner some dozen years ago of n
rather dilapidated dwelling in the Rue
Neuvc des Mathurins-a fussy little man
being informed that an applicant for.
his vacant third floor had presented
himself, says Temple Bar, desired him.
to be shown up, in order that he might
treat with him in person.
Monsieur" said he, when the terms
had been discussed and agreed to,
"there are two conditions on which 1
insist as n sine qua non."
Indeed! Pray, what are they?"
"You shall hear. First, it is expressly
stipulated in my house that the grand
staircase shall be exclusively reserved
for distinguished visitors. Common
people, such as artists and literary men,
can only be admitted by the back
stairs"
''By all means," assented the appli-
cant. 81 am IL literary man myself but
that doesn't in the least signify. What
is the second condition?"
THAT my dodgers. either on going
out or coming in, make point of oc-
casionally stopping for n little chat
with my concierge, who is sort of con-
ncction of mine, and not absolutely
illiterate. assure you. 1t fiatters the
poor fellow"
$50 should imagine" dryly replied
the other, making an effort to preserve
his gravity; 'wc all have our little
weaknesses and no one more than my
self. Tenez, whenever l come across
an idiot who wastes my time with in
tolerablc absurditics | feel an irresis-
tiblc impulse-eXactly as have at this
moment-to open the window and
pitch him out!"
Before the astonished proprietor had
recovered from his stupor his visitor
had disappeared, and, for all know to
the contrary. the third floor in the Rue
Neuvc des Mathurins may have re-
manned unlet to the present day.

SpecInnen Cases.

S. Fl. CLIFFORD, New Cassel, Wis, was
troubled with Neuralgia and Rheuma-
tism, his Stomach was disordered, his
Liver was affected to an alarming de-
gree, appetite fell away, and he was
terribly reduced in flesh and strength.
Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured
him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, ILL.,,
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years standing. Used three boxes of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is
sound and we'll. John Speaker, Ca
tawba, o., had five large Fever sores
on his leg, doctors said he was incu-
rablo. One bottle Electric Bitters and
one bottle Bucklens Arnica Salve
cured him entirely. Sold by Chris

sTOuT-HEARTED WOMEN.
What They Have Done In Helping to De-
veIop the Great West.

Nbat Ihey Have Done In Helping to De-
veIOp the Great West.
The life Of the west is one to induce
hcroism on the part of both men and
women. The latter are often left alone
for days in the little sod cabins or in the
dug-outs that dot the hillsides along the
water courses. They learn to be self
reliant and strong-naturcd. There are
in every settlement events recorded
any one of which would in Massachu-
sets, New York or Ohio give the actor
statewide reputation, but which in
tho far west are not thought of seri-
ously. With the difficulties of outlaws,
Indians and the terrific forces of nature
TO combat, it is remarkable that more
tragedies do not occur
But the women of the plains realized,
says the Globe Democrat, when they
came from the old homes in the east
that they were coming to face hnrdships
and danger, and the elements of bravery
in their natures came out strongly, and
whenever the test came there was the
hearty and hardy spirit to meet it,
Much as the men have done to develop
the country, the women have done
moro, and the wives and daughters de-
serve all possible credit Here and
there n deed stands out in relief, but for
the most part the stories of the hcroines
are confined to their Immediate neigh
borhood, and never reach the outside
world.

KANSAS AND TIE WORLDS FAIR.

The next thirty DAYS are of more than
ordinary moment to the people of Kan
sas, and the reason is that the next thirty
days must decide to what extent Kansas
will be represented at the worlds fair;
whether Kansas will have state build
ing, in which she can spread herself and
make display in keeping with her
wonderful progress and capabilities, OF
be driven to the sickening spectacle of a
seventy mine" exhibit on the walls of
the national building. If to the latter,
our state motto. "Ad Astra per Aspera, !"
should be tackled to the bottom, upside
down.
1t is not the object OF this article to
charge any citizen of Kansas with any
duty unperformed. But the fact exists,
and it cannot be disputed: Kansas
cannot erect a building and make
an exhibit without money. Where is
the money to come from: The people:
and with the people the matter rests.
No ons claims that the people owe
this money. 1t is simply matter Of

AN OKLAHOMA ESTIMATE.
From the Troy Chief

From the Troy Chief
We recently had a talk with William
T. Hackney of Winfield, who has just
moved back to that place from Guthrie,
O. I. He related a few curious facts
about the people of Oklahoma which IL
lustrate the sectional feeling still existing
between the north and the south, and
which will probably not be allayed dur
ing the life of the present generation.
One would suppose there would be
fraternal feeling among men of the same
politics in the two sections, but Mr..
Hackney says it is not the case in Okla
homa A southern Democrat hates a
Kansas Democrat as intensely as he does
a Kansas Republican, and a Kansas
Democrat equally hates a southern Dem
ocrat A southern Republican has no
use for a Kansas Republican, and
Kansas Republican has no use for a
southern Republican. A southern negro
has no truck" with Kansas negro, and
q Kansas negro has the same feeling
toward southern negro. At the same
time. southern Democrats and Republi-
cans bitterly hate one another. There
is no utilization between these different
classes. He says the northern and south
ern residents of Guthrie confiue them
selves to different parts OF the town. and
that the line separating the two sections
is as distinct as If wall stood between
them On one side, up 10 . certain
street. the houses are chiefly rough shan
ties, set up on pins, open underneath, and
without Enclosures. These aFe the resi-
dences Of the southern people. Ia the
northern part OF The town on the other
side oil that line, the houses are comfort
able, well-built. with pleasant surround
ings, and usually with good Enclosures.
But, on the other hand. the houses OF
the southern side are free from incum-
berance, while those Oh the north side al
most invariably have mortgages upon
them The northern people have NOR
gagged their property IN order to put OF
valuable Improvements, wbIle the south
err people are content TO live IN siianties
free from debt
