Patent Grave Marker.

The expense of a funeral in a large
city has grown to such proportions that
the average a commits more extrav-
agance in the act of dying than he ever
did during life. 1t has been suggested
that a much less costly form of grave
stone than usually erected would meet
all the requirements Of affectionate re-
membrance and respect, and the sugges-
ton has been carried into effect in the
patenting Of a grave marker" This is
simply a memorial leaf. 1t consists of
two outer plates bent so as to form a
holder for leaves or tablets, adapted to
be suspended from a frame to receive
and retain objects desired to be kept as
mementos of the deceased.
The tablets beneath the outer plates
can be designed in any desired form,
and as they have slides of mica or trans
parent material to protect the tokens
any object such as photographs, sketches,
ETC., can be inserted. For instance, a
sketch of the life of the departed or a
portrait or a lock Of hair can be placed
in the receptacle, where it is securely
protected from the weather, and as it is
covered by mica it will last for many
years without bleaching or decaying.-

Antidotes for Snake Venom.

Snake bites are always dangerous and
should be attended to as soon as possible,
as the venom spreads very rapidly, par
~ticularly in warm weather. The follow
ing recipe is perfectly reliable and, be-
ing simple, is easily obtained. Take an
onion and cut it crosswise and hold one
half of it on the wound until it turns
green. Apply persistently and the
onion will finally draw out all the
poison. Many old woodsmen will not
be without several onions at certain
times of year when in the woods.
The old white haired darby that first
gave me this recipe has spent the best
portion of his life in the swamps, where
the rattlesnake, copperhead and other
deadly reptiles abound, and he assured
NE he has known it to fail. A
strong ligature should be tied tightly
above and below the bite to prevent the
poison spreading through the system.
Copious drafts Of brandy should be
given freely. A little ammonia taken
internally is very good also. The above
simple remedy is equally as good for
beast as for an.-RichmOnd Times.

The Republican Executive Committee
Adjourns without Naming Its Advisors.
New York, July 19.-It is announced
Upon good authority that Secretary Harri-
ty is to be chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional committee. He has been requested
to take the position by ex-President Cleve-
land and by Mr.. Cleveland's friends, and he
has finally consented to accept the place
1t is said that Mr. Harrity has all along
been willing to accept the craftsmanship for
the campaign and that he tried to discour-
age the efforts to make him chairman of
the national committee with the idea that
ex-secretary Whitney might be prevailed
upon to accept that position.
Dir. Whitney, however, has refused to
allow himself to be considered, and he has
been most persistent in his appeal to Secre-
tary Harrity to accept the Office. An inti-
mate personal and political friend of Mr.
Harrity said ~ believe Mr.. Harrity will
be unanimously elected chairman at the
meeting of the Democratic national com
mittee on Wednesday 1t is my opinion
that he will also be chairman Of the cam
paign committee, so that he will have alb
solute control OF the management OF the
campaign"
lt IS thought probable that a short session
OF the national committee will be held this
evening, at which time Chairman Calvin S.
