Medicine and Surgery in Japan.

Surgical operations are very sue
cessful in Japan, and the healing
process is rapid, owing probably to
the abstinence Of the people from al
cohol and their not being flesh eat

was at one time rife among them,
has been checked and almost ex
terminated by voluntary vaccina-

A Missouri Snake Farm.

Sig. Don Allen and Senorita Lama
Lee, representing the j. Z. Childs snake
farm at Chadwick, were in Ozark Fri
day and Saturday establishing agencies
for their rattlesnake oil. Miss Lee had
with her pair of water moccasins that
she handled as though they were kit
tens. There is no doubt that snakes can
be petted as easily as anything else, and
for a choice between snakes and alli-
gators we would certainly take snakes.
Among the many enterprises in south
west Missouri there is probably none
that attracts more attention than does
the snake farm located three-fourths of
a mile due west of Chadwick. The farm
proper consists of about FIVE acres, half
inclosed by a natural stone wall, or
ledge.
On one side Of this inclosure is nat
ural rock cave, and out of this cave
runs an everlasting stream Of the purest
water. This spring being on the high
est spot of land On the farm it is easily
conveyed to all places where needed.
Mr.. Childs has been dealing in snakes
and manufacturing rattlesnake oil for
over ten years, and finds it quite prof
table, as he supplies all species of
snakes for exhibition purposes, all kinds
of snake curiosities and rattlesnake oil to
the drug trade, and charges an admis-
sion fee of ten cents to all visitors who
come to the farm. he is now fixing up
the place for the summer trade, and
will have large pens built for the snakes,
with living pond Of water in each one
and a platform ON the outside where
visitors may stand out Of danger look
ing at the hundred different species, all
in their natural state, eating, drinking,
playing, swimming, fighting sleeping,
etc.-Ozark (Mo.) News.

An Expert Calculator.

"There's a man down in Cattaraugus
county," said rural visitor couple of
days since, who tells the time Of day
as the ancients used to do, /. e., with only
the sun and his calculating powers to aid.
He's one of those old time mail coach
drivers, and way back forty years ago he
cracked the whip over stage horses heads
through section in which railroads were
unknown. Now he is still carrying the
mails from the postoffice to the station in
his home town, four times each day being
on hand to look after Uncle Sans postal
transfers.
"This hardy old timer never carries a
watch and seldom looks at any one else's
watch, yet during all these years not once
has he missed his mails, and so long as his
remarkable knack of keeping in mind the
correct time of day stays with him, there is
no danger of his missing any. Now he
does draying also, and it's fact that if you
should tell him to be at certain place at
lilo o'clock tomorrow morning, he'd be
there and wouldn't need to consult a time
piece to be promptly on hand, either.
1--WE known fellows who couldn't tell
the time even if they had a watch, but it's
very few you'll find who can tell the time
if they haven't a watch, and this man
speak of is one of the few. "-Buffalo Elk

A western Wilmington and His Cat.

Here comes story for you which sounds
almost like fairy tale, but am told that
it is strictly true: During the first days of
Pixies Peak, when that country was being
occupied by mining prospectors, their cab
ms were overrun with rats-not your do
mesticated house mice and rats of an old,
civilized community, but rats-large, raw
enous rats-with teeth and digestive APP
paratus capable of managing anything
from a tough old boot to a dainty piece of
breakfast bacon. This state of affairs
came to the knowledge of thrifty Dutch
man, poor, but willing to earn a bright
dollar if the way was only pointed out, and
reused his dormant idea to take advantage
of the rat nuisance and profit thereby.
The Dutchman secured yoke of oxen,
rugged prairie schooner with three stories
and filed the same with good cats, which
his neighbors were glad to be rid of. With
this outfit he started across the plain for
Pixies Peak, tedious journey of some 600
miles. This, with scant supplies of game,
prepared the cats for any encounter with
their victims. Their arrival spread joy
among the householders, and everything;
was set aside to purchase cats. When the
stock of our worthy Dutchman had been
speedily converted into gold dust he sold
his team, returned on foot across the des-
ert plains to Omaha with over 81, 500 and
bought farm near by. But the climax Of
this venture was attained when his faith
full oxen strayed back to him.-St. Nicho-
laS
