The REFLECTOR has more than once
saved its readers considerable sums Ly
exposing frauds preying on the people.
Here is another example.
In east Dickinson there is a pair of
sbarpers travelling from farm to farm
pretending to be taking pictures for a
map of Dickinson county. They get
negatives ana represent that the pic.
lures will cost nothing. A week later
there comes along third man who has
u dozen cheap diubs OF photographs
for which he wants So dozen. The
outfit pretends to be from Wiehita.
There is no map Of Dickinson county
being made. Better pictures Can be
taken in Abilene for half the money,

forward them to the Board of Medicine,
which declared the contents Of one Of
them to be fused nitrate Of silver and the
other preparation in which sulphuric
acid was too prominent ingredient. At
the trial it was proved that the lady's
head had suffered very grievously from
the action of these dyes. At first it
swelled to monstrous size, the hair in
the centre and at the sides all falling out,
while the tresses that remained assumed
repellant green tint and also began to
fall out.
The lady, whose closely shaved head
was covered with a wig, requested the
court to compel the defendant to supply
her with an elegant wig at once, and to
attend to her hair every day until it grew
as long and luxurious as before. To this
the defendant demurred, and argued that
his cosmetics, which bore the appropriate
names Of Blond Blond" and "Drops Of
Heavenly Dew," could not possibly have
caused inconvenience to Nine. Soosloff,
who was suffering previously from some
skin disease. This plea having been
completely disproved, the court fined the
defendant the sum of SIS.

A Narrow Escape.

A vivid notion of the intensity of q
cobra's venom is given by the experience
of DR.. Francis t. auckland. He put a
rat into cage with snake of that
species and it was killed after plucky
fight. Upon examining the skin Of the
dead rat Immediately afterward he found
two very minute punctures, like small
needle holes, where the fangs Of the
cobra had entered. The flesh seemed
already to have actually mortified in the
neighborhood of the wound. Anxious to
find out if the skin was affected Dr.
Buckland scraped away the hair from it
with his finger nail. Then he threw the
rat away and started homeward. He had
not walked 100 yards before all of sud
den he felt as if somebody had come be-
hind him and struck him severe blow
on the head and neck. At the same time
he experienced most acute pain and
sense Of oppression about the chest. He
knew instantly that he was poisoned, and
so lost no time in seeking an apothecary
shop, where he was dosed with brandy
and ammonia. He came very near dy-
ing. Undoubtedly small quantity of
the venom had made its way into his
system through little cut beneath his
nail, where it had been separated slightly
from the flesh in the process of cleaning
the nail with penknife little time be-
fore.
