How Cobra Poison Works.

A vivid notion of the intensity of a
cobra's venom Is given by the expert
ence of DR.. Francis T. auckland. He
put rat into cage with \ snake of
that species, and 1t was killed after a
plucky fight. Upon examining the skin
of the dead rat Immediately afterwards
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.. auckland scrap
ed away the hair from it with his fin
ger 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
behind him and struck him severe
blow on the head and neck. At the
same time he experienced a most acute
pain and sense Of oppression about the
chest. He knew instantly that he was
poisoned, and so lost no time In seek
Ing an apothecary shop. where he was
dosed with brandy and ammonia. He
came very near dying. Undoubtedly
small Quantity OF venom had made
it's way into his system through lit
tie cut beneath his nail, where 1t had
been separated slightly from the flesh
in the process Of cleaning the nail with
a penknife q little time before-Wash-

TO AVOID CONSUMPTION.
Exercises Which the Young Should Very
Frequently Employ.


Il think it is evident that proper de-
velopment and expansion of the lungs
by means of wcll-rcgulated breathing
must be regarded as of the greatest
value in the prevention and in the
treatment of the inactive stages of pull
monary consumption. The more sim
pie the method, the more effective and
practical will be the results which flow
from it. Among the many exercises
which are recommended for this pur-
pose the following movements are very
valuable. The arms, being used as
levers, are swung backward as far as
possible on level with the shoulders
during each inspiration, and brought
together in front on the same level
during each expiration. Or the hands
are brought together above the head
while inspiring, and gradually brought
down alongside the body while eXpir-
ing. A deep breath must be taken
with each inspiration and held until
the arms are gradually moved forward,
or downward, or longer, in order to
make both methods fully operative.
Another very serviceable chest ex-
ercise is to take a deep inspiration,
and, during expiration, in loud voice
count or sing as long as possible. A
male person with good chest capacity
can count up to 60 or so, while in a
female, even with good lungs, this
power is somewhat reduced. Practice
of this sort will slowly develop the
lungs, and the increased ability to
count longer is measure Of the i'm
provement going on within the chest.
Or, again, the taking of six or eight
full and deep breaths In succession
every hour during the day, either while
sitting at work, or while walking out
In the open air. will have a very bene-
fetal effect.
The breathing Of compressed and
rarefied air is attracting wide atten-
ton at the present time in connection
with the prevention and the treatment
of pulmonary consumption, and Is an
other mode wherewith the chest capa-
city can be decidedly improved. When
air is breathed in this manner there Is
felt during each inspira ton gentle
distension Of the whole chest while
during expiration feeling of empti-
ness Is experienced.
Consumption ls not disease which
originates In day, but it is the out
growth of morbid habits and agencies
which may even antedate the birth of
the individual. Defective breathing is
one of these habits, and its pernicio,ls
prevalence is more widespread than
Is generally supposed. The Critic

Dfsinfect with Coffee,

The following paragraph contains no
new information, but it Is perhaps not
without interest from the fact that it
was published more than hundred
years ago in work by well known
chemist of that day, and 1t shows
therefore that the disinfecting proper
ties of coffee have been long recog-
nized by scientific people.
Numerous experiments with roasted
coffee prove that It is the most power
full means not only for rendering ami
NAL and vegetable etf1uvia innocuous
but of actually destroying them. A
room in which meat In an advanced
degree Of decomposition had been kept
for some time was instantly deprived
Of all smell on IA open coffee rooster
being carried through 1t containing
pound Of coffee newly roasted. In an
other room exposed to the etf1uvium
occasioned by the cleaning out Of the
dung pit, so that sulphuretted hydro
gen and ammonia in great quantities
could be chemically detected, the
stencil was completely removed in half
a minute on the employment of three
ounces Of fresh roasted coffee, whilst
the other parts Of the house We're pre-
maturely cleared of the smell by being

err, although the cleansing of the dung
pit continued for several hours after.
The best mode of using the coffee CHS
disinfectant Is to dry the raw bean,
pound in mortar, and then roast the
powder on a moderately heated iron
plate until 1t assumes dark brown
tint, when IL is fit to use. Then sprin-
kle 1t in sinks or cesspools, or lay 1t
on a plate In the room which you wish
to have purified. Coffee acid or coffee
oil acts more readily In minute guam
tities.-Merchants' Review.

Alligator's nests resemble haycocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and about five feet
in diameter, and are constructed of
grasses and heritage. First the mother
gator deposits one layer Of eggs on a
mortar-like floor, and, having covered
this with a stratum Of mud and her
bage about eight inches thick, lays an
other set of eggs upon that, and so on
to the top, there being commonly from
100 to 200 eggs in a nest. With their
tails the parents then beat down the
tail grass and weeds to prevent the
approach of unseen enemies. The ~fe
male watches her eggs until they are
Matched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes her brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for
their subsistence.-Chicago Herald.

Figs or Ounces.

Chodja had to appear before the
Khadi on some law business AS it
was the custom never to appear with
empty hands before Judge the Chod
ia filed basket with fine ounces
from his garden to take with him. But
his wife interfered and advised him
rather to carry to the Khadi some nice
ripe figs instead of the hard ounces.
Nastradin argued with his wife some
time about the matter, but, at last, as
he could not convince her that the
ounces We're a more "dignitied" gift.
he emptied his basket and reflled it
with figs. He found the Khadi N an
awful bad temper, and the luscious figs

The Chodja obeyed, and Immediately
the Khadi began to pelt him with figs
from the basket. AS the Magistrate
had good aim and the figs We're ripe,
the face of the poor Chodja was soon
sight for sore eyes. "Oh!" cried Mas
tradin, nov see that it is verify a
good thing for man to listen, at least

why so?" asked the Khadi aston

the reply.

THE OLD-FASHlONED WIFE.
The Kind OF Helpmeet that Still Prevails
i'll Germany.

in Germany.
Here Is an article from a German
magazine, Das Land, which is an
idealization of the woman of house
wifely talents. 1t is a charming eulogy
of a late lamented" spouse. Heaven
knows, says her bereayed husband,
that | have never asked it of her, but
my late wife got up every morning at
), and before the clock struck the
whole house was tidy, all the children
We're dressed and at work, the ser
wants had commenced their tasks, and
often on dark winter mornings more
fax had been spun than in many
houses during the whole year.
My table was always laid at the
proper time, and two simple courses
We're set before me, which she herself
had prepared. The cheese and butter,
the fruit preparations were all of her
own making Her pickles We're super
ior to any | have ever eaten, and l
cannot imagine how she made the vine
gar. Every year she prepared some
homely medicines; her elder wine was
homemade, and no convent could turn
out better peppermint cordials than
hers. Our entire household has never
spent a penny at the chemists shop.
The ale was brewed in the house, and
we grew the malt and the hops for it,
The keys of the storerooms were al
ways in her pocket; she knew how
long a cask of ale ought to last, how
much the bread should weigh, and,
without stinting anybody, she prevent
ed even the slightest waste. The
maids had to take every day in winter
a turn at saving logs of fireWood, be-
cause it was healthy exercise. In sum-
mer the supper was always cold, be-
cause cold supper meant a saving of
coal.
ANY work which could be done in the
twilight was left for that hour Every
Saturday she examined her household
linen. When the sheets We're worn
out In the centre they were turned so
that the best parts formed the middle;
all stockings We're two or three times
refooted, and all her own and her chill
dren's clothes were made at home.
The garden was always planted with
homegrown seeds. To sow and plant
and weed in It was her recreation after
a winters work, and the vegetables
and fruits of her growing were Of the
best, though her manuring was not as
Everything she planted did well, and
she fed her cattle so wisely and wen
that she obtained twice the usual
amount Of milk Not feather was
wasted in her poultry yard, and all
things fourished under her wise rule.
After her DEATH cannot think of it
without tears-I found that complete
outfit was ready for each of our daugh-
tiers; when | looked through the house
keeping accounts for the sixteen years
Of our married life | found that she
had indirectly earned and saved far
more money than l had ever given her.
All this she had done by the constant
practice of such humble virtues as
thrift, order and wise management.
