SNAKES OF CEELON.
They VPin Cure she Bite of n
Cobra. Ghe Most Deadly of
BRFPemaSs

The so.called "snake stones" of
Ceylon are celebrated for the efficacy
which they are supposed to have in
curing the bites Of venOmous serpents.
Secrecy is maintained as to the method |
of their manufacture, which is a
business carried on by monks, who
supply the merchants of India with
them. Very high prices are demanded
for them. They are employed in the
familiar manner by being placed oD
the wound, their absorbent material
sucking up the blood and incidentally
the venom, as is claimed. There is
plenty of authentic evidence of re-
markable cures performed by such
snake stones, though science is as yet
reluctant TO place any belief in them.
Sir J. E. Tennent, to whose work on
CeyIou a writer in the Washington
Star Is indebted, tells of an occasion
when be was riding along q jungle
path on the island, and he saw one or
two natives who were approaching
suddenly dart off from the road and
return Immediately with cobra, the
most deadly of all serpents, grasped
by the head and tail. The man tried
to place the snake in a covered basket,
but handled it so inexpertly that il
seized him by the finger and retained
it's hold for a few seconds. Blood
flowed and intense pain appeared 10
follow. AS quickly as possible the
other native un1id his own waist cloth
and took from it two snake stones
each the size OF a small almond, in
tensely black aud highly polished,
though extremely light.
These he applied one to each wound
inflicted by the teeth of the cobra.
They attached themselves closely, the
blood that ooged from the bite being
rapidly imblbed by the porous sub
stance. After three or four minutes
they dropped off and the suffering Of
the man seemed 10 have subsidized.
He twisted his fingers until bis joints
cracked and went on his way without
concern.
1t has been ascertained with Ger
lainty that these snake stones are
usually nothing more than pieces Of
burned bone. The Mexican recipe for
making snake stone is TO take frsg
ment Of deer's horn of any CONVENIENT
SIZE and shape, cover it with grass,
inclOse both in thin piece of sheet
copper and place the parcel in a char.

When cold remove the calcined horn

found to be solid black fibrous sub

immediate use.

Lower Railroad Hgaaes ON KeIs
low Pine

Lnmbeman
The observations made in a recent
issue of the Lftmbernaan concerning
lower rail rates on lumber shipped from
the middle gulf states, and those west
Of the Mississippi, to northwestern
markets, have stirred mp much inter
est in important quarters. The prop
nslton was that an effort should be
made to SECURE a fiat rate, by the car
load, if possible, based on shipments
from The leading points in the south
to Chicago, St. Louis and other i'm
pOrtant northern markets. This rate
should be considerably lower than that
now prevailing SO as to permit of the
marketing at northern points of com
mon lumber, including ordinary timber,
jursts, and seantling, in competition
with white and Norway pine.
A leading operator IN this city with
a mill 10 one of the gulf states, thinks
that a rate Of about $40 a car would
Enable shippers from Alabama and
