The effect of snake bite depends partly
on the condition of the snake and partly
on that of the person bitten and the part
attacked. No effectual antidote has vet
been discovered. Ammonia and per-
manganate of potassium will not suffice,
although a solution of the latter viii!
take away the poisonous property of the
snakes enom if it be mixed Herewith.
Immediate amputation of a bitten toe
or finger is the best course, as the delay
Of a few seconds may suffice to convey
the poison into the patients circulation.
If from the nature Of the part bitten
amputation cannot be performed, a very
tight ligature applied after cauterization
and sucking the part is the best course,
and the administration of stimulants is

SOudanese TroOI,s In Battle.

l was told a delightful story of one re-
cent action in which the Souianese
troops took a prominent part. The en-
envy was under cover not far off, but
the firing line Of blacks were blazing
away at him as fast as they could open
and close their rifles. In vain their Of
ticers tried to stop them. The waste of
ammunition threatened to become ex-
tremely serious, and their commanding
officer, a Scotchman who had seen many
fights with them, losing his temper, rode
up and down behind the line cursing
them with every abusive epithet in a
fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in
vective, but entirely without effect. At
last one of them happened to turn and
discovered the beloved hey in evidently
q very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, ran back to him, and patting
him reassuringly on the boot he said:
Don't be frightened. hey. It's all
right. We're here. Well take care of
your
The Scotch hey, however, was equal
to the occasion. He rode out through
the line, and walked his horse up and
down in front of the rifles. Now" he
IF You must fire, fire at me!'
After this it is not surprising to read in
that this officer has twice re.
had his horse shot under him.

The Young MAJ Who Turned Up HI
Trousers Before Fighting.
1t was about dusk on Tremon'
street.
Good and wicked Boston was pre-
pairing for the night before the Sab

Lots of pretty girls were coming
out OF many stores, h%urrying aloul
to catch cars or trains for many

girls and girls that lived on Beacon
Hill, who had delayed buying their
candy here and trinkets there.
One fair one looked strikingly pref.
ty as she sped out on the dark street.
Two youths sauntered up the thor.
oughfare and saw the pretty girl.
An, there!" said they, but the
pretty girl didn't answer
That will do" said q young fel
low of medium height, the type of Il
modern dude, as he threw open a
cape coat, which disclosed evening
clothes.
He said it with II very bored air.
Life didn't seem to be worth living
to him.
The youths looked first at his silk
hat and then down at his patent
leather shoes.
Guess we can do him." said they.
Hold my coat, will YOU said he
of the evening dress to the pretty
girl, and she helped him take it off.
Then he started to turn up his trou-
sers and the biggest youth hit him
OH the head. He finished turning I'D
his trousers. then turned on the big
youth.
DO so hate a scene" said he. as
he gave the big youth a blow right
between the eyes that knocked him
sprawling into the gutter.
The other youth ran.
Of course a crowd gathered and
at the pretty girl holding
topcoat and the fellow in evening
lreSs.
Then the pretty girls champion
put Oh his coat and brushed some
mud from his trousers. He was
;rOubled to think his shirt bosom was
yrinkled.
who's the fellow" asked an elder
y gentleman of a young Harvard
nan who sauntered by.
Used to be the boss sparrer whe.
ne was i'll college; guess somebod,

''Jove. how annoying these crowds

'vening dress, as he called q cab and

Rice and Wheat at Weddings.

Throwing rice and wheat at a wed
ding is a relic of an old Roman custom,
and has probably been common in Eng
land since Roman times. Brand gives
several authorities for it. Friend refers
to the case of the bride of Henry VII at
Bristol in 14S6, when wheat was thrown
upon her with the greeting, welcome
and good luck!"
Rice is used similarly at weddings in
India, and the substitution of this grain
for wheat in our W country of late
years may be partly due to that fact;
but where wheat annot readily be come
at rice would naturally suggest itself as
a substitute.-Notes and Queries.

What Meerschaum Really Is.

There is a very general impression
in the minds of smokers that the
m~eerschaum part of the pipe, which
they treasure so carefully and take
so much pride and satisfaction in
''coloring," is compressed sea foam.
Such, however, is not the case The
German word meerschaum means in
English foam of the sea, but its for
nation has nothing to do with the
sea. 1t is a kind of clay, comes out
OF mines like coal and is found only
