after yarrow, which, dried, is a standby
for coughs when it has been made into

Gravel weed, by which name they in

bladder root has desirable effect on the

Sunhower seeds, steeped, strained and
sweetened with nolasses will cure the

The ship made false start. and Cramp
ordered her back for new run, One

her nose once more toward the course,

tremendous velocity which the Columbia

to stand on the deck and face the gale

Snake Charming.

A snake charmer can, by a simple mo-
ton of his hand, make moving snake
stop instantly. The reason is this:
The snake is most timid animal. His
eyes, while dull to color and form, are
quick to motion, especially if it is rapid.
Il any large thing moves very quickly
too near him, he gets frightened and
scurrie of, while at certain distances
the motion stops him if he be moving.
He stops from astonishment, fear or
the wish to see what it is that moves,
Hence he glides on unconscious of the
charmer's presence near him so long as
the latter remains quiet; the snake does
not know him from q tree or q rock.
But when he gives sudden evidence Of
life the snake is astonished and immedi-
stely remains stock still.
In India and Africa the charmers pre-
tend the snakes dance to the music, but
they do not, for they never hear it. A
snake has no external ears, and perhaps
gives evidence Of sound only through its
skin, when sound causes bodies in con.
tact with him to vibrate.
They hear also through the nerves of
the tongue, but do not at all comprehend
sound as we do. However, the snakes
eyes are very much alive to the motions
Of the charmer, or to the moving drum
sticks of his confederate, and being
alarmed he attempts to strike.
A dancing cobra (and no other snakes
dance is simply cobra alarmed and in
a posture to attack. He is not dancing
to the music. but is making ready to as
sail the charmer. Family
