Few Survive Rattlesnake Bites.

"out of q thousand people bitten by
ra~ttlesnakes," said e. D. Bourne, OF
Palm Springs, to us the other day, says
the Pomona (Oal.) Progress, ~ am sure
that not fifty ever really recover. SO far
as I know, and | have posted myself
thoroughly upon the subject for over
twenty years on the desert and in Arr.
iona and Texas, there is no known cure
for lattlcsnake poison, in spite of the fact
that many people have said that they
were cured by whisky.
"You may depend on it that when a
man says he is cured of a rattlesnake
bite, though not necessarily a liar, he 10
at least laboring under a misapprehen-
sion of the facts. There is a small snake
similar to the rattlesnake in appearance,
whose poison is not so venomous, and
colored persons bitten by it place lime
upon the spot or else drink enough
whisky to counteract the poison. Whis-
Ky, if taken in a large quantity, goes di.
fectly to the blood and counteracts tho
poison of the snake. But the Arizona
RATHER, from FIVE to seven feet in length,
is q deadly customer to meet. 1t does
not give warning, but strikes the mo.
ment it is disturbed, and it can strike
an object almost twice as far distant as
1t is long.
"a friend of mine, ex- Couuty Clerk
George English, was riding along in the
saddle near Yuma, Arizona, when a big
RATHER lying in the road leaped at hin
as he passed. It stuck to his bootleg,
driving one of its fangs clear through
the thick leather of his boot through
his trousers, just escaping the flesh. II
required considerable kicking to shake
that snake off, and when he was finally
got rid of he started in pursuit. NY
friend had faced bullets in the army With
nonehalanee, but his hair stood on end
when ne saw that snake coming; and
he jammed spurs to his nag aud didn't
stop until he had gone a quarter stretch.
He knew as well as I what an awful
thing rattlesnake poison is. He lost two
men in one month from ~rattlers. MY
ranch is literally full of rattlesnakes, and
only lest week my hands killed twenty.

British newspapers are discussing
earnestly the question Of cloakroons in
churches, referring to the absence of,
and absolute necessity for, facilities for
~disposing Of wraps, hats and o~vercoats.
Some churches in the country have wire
hatrscks beneath the seats. and a few
have wire bars for overcoats and wraps
on the backs OF seats. Ole church in
Chicago has regular opera chairs and the
attendant c-onvcuiences. A cloakroom
seems to the New York Tribune to fill a
iong-felt want, for there does not appear
to be any good reason, these days, any
way, why . man or woman should not
be as comfortable in . church as in q
theatre.

Imports OF wheat into Great Britain
during the fiscal year just closed have
amounted to nearly $50, 600, 600 bushels.
This hrge quantity is in excess of the
present requirements of the country, and
the result has been that the price of this
grain has fallen lower than ever known
previously. It is believed that 100, O0O,-
0o9 bushels will be needed to supply the
deficiencies of the coming year.

ing definite has been done II is probable
that the men will meet in January or
February at Central Music Hail. Chicago.
Dick Roche will find the money for Schas-
fer and Abe Levy will put UP Ives stake.
The game proposed is fourteen-inch balk
line. 1900 points up. 800 a night for i've
nights, for 800 a side. There will be one
important change in the conditions Of the
new match, viz. the anchor shot VIII b
barred.
Dick Roche wants two games played.
one at cushion caroms, 400 points each Night
for two nights. and then the bslk-l.ne game.
each to be for $500 a side. In the mean
time the public is demanding that the balk-
line game be made 1900 points, or only 600
each night. IL has been demonstrated be-
fore that 800 points Of balk line are too
many for one nights play particularly In
continuous match. where a player Is apt TO
fail behind and then come again as Schaefsr
