An Indian snake- site Cure.

Hereafter when eamping-out parties
ore formed the demijohn full OF snake
bite cure will have to be replaced by a
bundle OF weeds, for T. K. Fisher, an
old citizen OF Santa Barbara, who is fa-
miliar with the habits of the California
Indians, claims to have found out their
remedy for rattlesnake bites, which is q
species of the plant Euphorbia, says the
Pomona Progress. DR.. 8. Weir Mitchell
of Philadelphia, recently stated in an
article in the North American Review
that no specific was known for the virus
of the rattlesnake. Mr.. Fisher saw this
statement and contradicted it, saying
that the plant referred to was sure
cure, and he even goes so far as to state
that the snakes themselves, when bit
ten, will make use OF the remedy.

The common or "banded" rattlesnake
inhabitB the entire country south OF the
10th parallel. He is generally inoffens-
i've, except when he has reason to be-
lieve that he is in danger, or is actively
attacked, when he defends himself as
best he knows how. As | said before,
his prey is In the main small birds, mice,
gophers and jumpers. but he finds chip

atable, although more difficult to acquire
proprietary interest in. helped once
dissect rattlesnake with an immense
lump amidship, which proved to be o
full-sized and half-digested jack rabbit.
The snakes neck was not two inches in
diameter, and leave others to explain
how he wrapped himself around that
rabbit.
The water rattlesnake is a native OF
the Carolinas and Florida, and is OF
greater weight and size, often attaining
length OF nine feet. HIS favorite
practice is to lie in the tepid pools OF
that region and scare fishermen. He is
rapid swimmer, ae indeed are all
rattlesnakes, but 10 lazy on land. 1t ia
said that the alligator. although possess
ing as little sense as a goose, ia intelli-
gent enough TO let the water rattleenake
alone, and, indeed, have seen the two
sharing the same log in awamp, taking
Pocial sunbath together.
The largest rattlesnakes are in Texas,
| n the lower Rio Grande, where they
sometimes attain a length of II feet, and
| are heavy in proportion. The smallest
are the "borned'' rattleshakes OF Ari-
zona. New Mexico and Lower California,
which seldom reach length OF two feet.
They have two little excescenees over
the eyes, and are full of devilmsnt,
They have rattlee, but seldom use them

small, and pretends to be on neighborly
terms with the prairie dog, whose bur.
rows he occupies. l have reason to be-
lieve that when the rattlesnake inserts
himself in the bosom Of prairie dogs
family, he does go ON fraudulent grounds
and is unwillingly entertained. The
prairie dog carries no life insurance, ant
cannot afford quarrel, and the snake
is mean enough to take advantage o
him.

cohol is also considered good remedy.
To lance the wound promptly, after
tightly binding the injured limb above
the wound, would be efiicacious in less
ening the danger; but in any case
whisky and ammonia in small doses,
frequently repeated, will be a necessary
resort. The Apaches on the Tulerosa
reservation in New Mexico take deer's
liver, induce a rattlesnake to strike it
repeatedly, allow it to get putrid, and
smear their arrowheads with it. but un-
less freshly used the virus 30 applied
would have no effect.
In quantity, the venom injected by a
large and active rattlesnake is about
four minims, or two for each fang, he
can strike twice OF thrice in rapid sue
cession with deadly effect, but soon the
glands are unable to keep up the supply
and he will require some minutes to re-
cuperste. Snake charmers usually scar
the glands with hot iron, leaving the
fangs intact, but only capable OF making
q slight flesh wound.
During the hot days OF August and
September the rattlesnake Is indolent
and very ill-tempefed. This is the sea-
son when they are supposed to be blind,
but IL is leziness and not opth alma
which induces them to wait until they
are trodden upon before moving. This
is also the time when they lie in the
grass near streams to avoid the heat
and waylay the frolicsome frog. Trout
fishermen and hunters know this, for
have noticed that they always carry a
bottle OF antidote for 'rattlesnake
bites"
In New Mexico and on the staked
plains in Texas, where the nights are
cool. IL is the Mathematics custom to
crawl between travellers blankets and
snuggle up close to him till morning.
Numbers OF them are killed in camp
every year by soldiers campaigning in
that section; but as the rsttlesnakes
seldom abuse hospitality by biting the
sleeper, few accidents happen. Still,
there are men who, when out on hard
march, prefer to sleep alone.

All About RattIesnskes.


Ben Davis was over from Orange
Tuesday evening in conference with the
New river prospectors, who may return
to the desert in 9 week or two, says the
Anaheim Gazette. Mr.. Davis has been
80 long on the frontier that the desert,
with all it's rattlesnakes, scorpions, tar
antulas and other birds, has no terrOrs
for him. A man on the desert gets in
the habit of shaking out his boots in the
morning, that's sll, he says. He was
for years the foreman of a large stock
ranch in Arizona, and one morning on
awakening from bis couch on the prai-
rie, while he and his men were driving
cattle, he espied big rattler
coiled near his head. To move
would be to court instsnt death. Davis
lay still and pretty soon the snake
took 1t into his head to move away,
taking it's couree directly over Davis
neck That snake felt as though il were
mile long. As soon as it had got suffi.
cient distance away Davis killed it. At
another time rattler coiled itself upon
the breast OF Davis mpanion, whore
it was found warming itself in the morn
ing. Davis got his revolver and taking
deliberate and deadly aim, blew the
snake into smithereens, as his setonish.
ed partner, awakening, asked what was
up. Down on the Colorado river some
time ago he watched some Yuma In
dians bathing. They would plunge into
the river and then come out and roll on
the grass. One large buck had come
out Of the water and was rolling on the
grass, when Davis saw him give jerky
movement and stretch himself out spas
medically. Investigation showed that
he was dead. A RATHER had struck him
in the jugulsr, and he died instantly.
Davis has had several close calls but has
never been bitten. He may 90 out to
New river with the party again.

Curing a RattIesnaks Bite.

Charles Eberle, who was bitten by a
rattlesnake, at West Riverside, recently,
seems to be nearly recovered from the
effects of the wound, and in view OF
this it may be interesting to know the
treatment given the case by Dr.. Maybee.
The hand and arm were first thor
oughly cleansed in q hot medicated
wash, and the places where the fangs
entered were lanced, 30 that the pois-
oned blood might escape. 1t was again
washed clean, and S31s per cent oily
solution of csmphorated phenic acid was
injected into some 25 places in the hand
and arm. The only remaining treatmCnt
was to keep the parts perfectly clean.
The doctor says anyone bitten by rat.
tier should immediately suck the wound
and spit ont the blood, and then tie q
handkerchief tightly above tho wound
and open it with clean penknife to lei
1t bleed. While this is being done, moi
moment should be lost in getting to @

The writer of this has seen soldiers
killed. He has seen a war more cruel,
more dangerous and more horrid than
any war possible-the war between
Countrymen-the war in which brother
stands against brother, and father
against son, but he has never seen the
outrageous hypocrisy the triple eX-
traCted idioCy, which makes the death
of three men who died in the perform
ance of duty for which they are paid,
an occasion to make political capital,
an occasion in which that famous goat
hunter W. O. Smith gets his chance to
come out as a full hedged mourner,
and shaking the hands of Sanford B.
Dole cry over the Nations Dead, and
once more emphasize the fact that he
and his crowd are an impossibility in
the history of Hawaii
Ohio May We enquire if the writer
of the above is the Canadian who
crossed the line into the United States
during the "war between countrymen,"
enlisted in the Union army for a
bounty but at 50 late a period that he
never saw a battle, and finished his en-
listment guarding squaws on Western
reservations Is this the hero OF a

took Part as an epaulelted leader in a
Hawaiian revolution with his right
resting behind stone wall and his left
on the gangway Of the ship where he
had taken a stowaway berth in case the
enemy should get after him ? Is this
the soldier who always fought where
bullets where thiCkest-in the ammuni-
ton wagon and whose gorgeous uni
form never showed itself at a deadlier
muzzle than that of a Camera2 Surely,
