May Get Free Delivery.

Col. ]. n. Crntcher, Of Belle
point, has been eudeavoring for
sometime to secure free postal de-
livery for his village, and wrote to
Senator Lindsay upon the subject
some days ago, asking that he
see the Postmaster General
and endcavor to have an ad-
ditional carrier appointed for this
city, whose duty it should be to
deliver the mails over in Belle.
point. He received letter from
the Senator on Thursday in which
he said he would give the matter
his personal and prompt attention,
and see what could be done.
This will be a great convenience
to the residents Of that thriving
suburb, and should Col. Crutcher
be successful the people of his
town should show their apprecia-
ton Of his efforts in their behalf
by electing him Mayor emeritus,
for it was due largely to
his efforts that a floor is being
laid in the railroad bridge, and he
is the moving spirit in the effort
to have that bridge made free Of
toll when it is completed, and is
always a warm advocate Of every
thing which tends to the advance
ment and improvement Of the
Point.

Wonders Of Geometrical Progression,

The story of Sysla and the king is usu.
ally told as good illustration of geo.
metrical progression. Sysla, 50 the story
goes, was the inventor OF the game Of
chess. The king was SO delighted with
the diversion that. he promised to grant
any request the inventor might make.
Sysla, who must have peer a mathema.
tician as well as a mechanical genius,
only asked that the generous king would
put Il grain Of wheat on the first
square of the board and dou ole the
amount upon each successive square up
to and including the sixty-fourth. Lucas
1e Burgo says that there was not enough
wheat in the kingdom to pay the crafty
inventor, which was Is, 446, IA, ola, 1O9.-
55,.6l5 grains! According to a curious
medley of figures published in the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, there are e3o, 900
grains in a bushel of wheat. How many
bushels did the modest inventor ask for:
The number of bushels as given in the
book "Curiosities of the Game and Play
of Chess" fall more than one-third short
OF the actual number.-St. Louis Re.

Referring to the fact that the human
head is sometimes facetiously and ir-
reverently spoken of as "a cocoanut,"
the Boston Transcript remarks that sci
entists have recently discovered a re-
markable resemblance between the shell
of the fruit and the shell Of the human
brain. Then it quotes a French scien-
ti6c periodical to prove that there is q
wonderful likeness between other hu-
man organs and vegetable products.
For example, the meat of the English
walnut is a close copy Of the form and
convolutions of the brain: plu1ns and
cherries are like the eye; almonds are
shaped like the nose; the ear is brought
to mind by an opened oyster and shell;
in a mammoth squash the entire body
may be traced: the open hand is found
in growing scrub willow and celery, and
the heart is seen in the German turnip
and the eggplant.

The Poison OF the Cobra.

Ths Hsison OF the Cobra.
The bite of the terrible cobra Of India
e looked upon as meaning certain death.
It is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature of this awful
poison should attract wide attention
when they are made in q scientific man.
ner emitting their results to be accepted
with confidence. Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Nj. A. A.
Kanthack. The venom was obtained
by pressing the heads of living cobras.
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly fluid was squeezed out of the
fangs.
The fluid dries very quicklyand leaves
q yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling,
a concentrated solution Of it withstand
ing the effects Of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be rem
dered innocuous by being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
to any victim of a cobra bite, since the
venom. once injected into his blood
could by 10 possibility be subjected to
such a process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable Of destroying the poison
if applied to it for a considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con-
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might prove a means of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope.
So far, then, IA cure for the bite of the
cobra remains to be discovered

GEN. RUsK DEAD.
The Career Of the Ex-Secretary As
Soldier and Stateman.

Hon. jeremiah Rusk died at his
home at Viroqua, Wisconsin, last
Tuesday.
Gen. Rusk had been seriously Ill
for about 10 days. 1t was thought
last week that he was in dying
condition, but he rallied, and hopes
were entertained of his recovery.
Gen. jeremiah MeLain Rusk was
born in Morgan county, Ohio, on
June II, 1890 He received a public
school education, and when he was
Ii years old the support of his
mother and sisters fell upon him.
In 1858 he removed to Vernon
county, Wisconsin, married aud
opened a hotel. He was elected
sheriff and to other local offices, and
and began to take interest in county
affairs.
In the fall of 1891 he was the Re
publieans candidate for governor of
Wisconsin and was elected by plu-
rality of 1867.
His terms of service covered the
the period from January, 1882, to
January 1889, and he proved him
selfto be a prompt, firm, intelligent
and able Governor.
de was appointed Secretary of
Agriculture in the Harrison admin
istration, and served with the dis
tinction which characterized him in
all offices of public trust.

The BILL will be Ready for A c.
ton

There is every evidence that the
reform tariff bill will be ready for
action when congress meets on the
first Monday of December. 1t will
be pushed as rapidly as possible, or
as is consistent with fair dealing to
ward the minority 1t is said the
Republicans of the senate will pur-
sue the policy of delay, initiating the
course of Stewart, Teller, Wolcott,
and others on the silver bill. 1t
would be a dangerous experiment.
The people of the county,, without
much regard to their opinions on the
proposed revision, want whatever is
done, done quickly. The business
community as well as manufacturers
want early action and no unnecessa-
ry delay. The Dry Goods Economist
says on this subject, and it voices
the sentiment in business circles
without regard to politics:
The worst of tariff change is the
uncertainty of its period Of incuba-
ton. A portion of this uncertainty
We have already undergone; the re-
mainder we are in better position
to endure than we have been for
many years. Let the tariff bill be
pushed vigorously, and let date be
early fixed upon and announced on
which the new bill shall take effect.
This is the only sensible and honest
course. and, we firmly believe, the
only popular one for congress to pur-
sue.
