THg SNAKE RITE WAS EArAL.

And the Red Nosed Man Went on to Tell
How the Venom Got In Its Work.
"It's all humbug, this talk about rat
tlesnakes being so deadly poison" said
red faced man in the smoking car.
"Tve lived among 'em. They used to
be so thick out where 1 live that YOU
had to be mighty careful where you put
your feet down if you didn't want to

"My bed was never any more than big
enough for me and the easy conscience

more times than I've got fingers and
toes and found that two or three rattle
snakes had managed to find room with
us. They were plenty, tell you, out
where live. But deadly? Poohl Why,
I've known scores and scores of people to
be socked, and socked deep, by rattlers,
and never knew of but one instance
where o rattler's bite was fatal; never
but once out of more cases than there's

Tourgee Talks.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 29.-The Afro
American council resumed it's session
this morning. After the appointment
of committees on the mob and lynch
ing resolutions, address to the Ameri.
can people, memorial to congress, EN-.
igration, lecturipg and organization
and national protective association, at
tention was given miscellaneous mat
ters, Among these was letter from
Judge Albion Tourgee, president of the
Citizens National Rights association.
The letter dealt at length with the
story of negro lynching in this coun.
try. 1t also took strong grounds
against negro emigration to Africa or
any other country. 1t advised the col
ored man to remove to the United
States and trust to personal de-
velopment and appeal to the public
conscience Of the American people
to shield them from the wrongs they
now suffer. The committee presented
q resolution with a seXtuple preamble,
which was adopted with unanimity
and enthusiasm. The resolution urges
that the convention memorable con-
gress to pass certain measures rene
dial laws, the tenor of which laws in
substance were as follows:
First-To give United States courts
jurisdiction over all cases of mobs at

Third-To empower United States

prosecution from convicted defendants

paupers to make a collection from the
counties in which they reside.

A Powerful Antiseptic.

Extensive researches made upon COR
rosive sublimate by DIR. McClintock of
London show though the substance is not
valuable acknowledgements Withstand
ing its action for some time-it proves
to possess, of all substances, the greatest
antiseptic power, so that q germ treated
with the article. unless perchance it gets
into the blood or is exposed to very ex-
ceptional conditions, is powerless to
grow-that is, 1t is probable that spore
ofsubtilis or anthrax treated with subli-
mate, in 1000, and then thrown on the
soil or into water, will not terminate,
owing to the fact that the capsule of
sublimate surrounding it is not removed.
1t is found that corrosive sublimate
forms with cellulose, as cloth, filter pa
per, etc., with silk, with albuminous
bodies, with some part of bacteria, prob
ably the envelope, chemical compound
that cannot be removed with any amount
Of washing in water. Thus sublimate
when acting on germ forms capsule
around it that protects the germ for
time from the further action Of the sub.

BILE barrier to the growth Of the organism
unless removed. This barrier may bere-
moved with salines.

Cosmetlcs Among One Romans.

All that had been previously done in
the way of facial decoration was left far
in the shade by the ancient Romans.
All the Latin writers-historian poets,
naturalists and others-mention it in
one way or another. 1t was the practice
of Roman actors, as it has been of those
Of the profession since the theater has
existed. Many of the emperors used
paint more or less freely. Heliogabalus,
one of the most eccentric, when he en-.
tered Rome for the first time, had his
eyelashes painted black and his cheeks
red and white. In the time of Augustus
the custom was universal among women
of fashion, details Of which are given by
Horace, Catullus, Nbullus, Ovid, Pro.
pertius and the rest. Martial speaks OF
the chalk Of Fabulla that fears the rain,
and the wax Of ISABELLA that fears the
sun.
Horace mentions red lead and carmine
as among the articles employed. Ju.
venal in one Of his satires describes a
paste that covers the faces Of wives and
adheres with tenacity to the faces Of hus.
bands. Coquettes, according to Horace,
used q paste prepared from beans, much
like that used by some modern French
women, and were also given to the use
of cummin. Mandragora is mentioned by
Pliny, and poppies by Ovid. San Fran

FATAL RAILROAD WRECK.
A Passenger cOllides With Frsiget on an
European Railroad.

MILAN, Nov. 29.-An express train,
bound from the city of Venice, came
into collision with heavy freight
train which was stationary on the
rails at the first station between
Milan and Trevigne. The collision
occurred a few minutes before
midnight. The heavy freight train
was late, owing to fog, and was ord
cred on the siding to let the other
trains pass. The Milan express came
before the freight had switched and
dashed into the engine of the freight
train. Both engines were completed
shattered and two passenger carriages
smashed to pieces. The fireboxes OF
the engines were broken by the shock
and contents thrown over the wrecked
carriages in which number OF corpses
and injured were lying, the latter
pinned down and unable to help them
selves. The woodwork of the ruined
cars took fire and were soon burning
furiously. The scene was most horrible,
the injured screaming for help, the
air filled with binding smoke and
steam from the boiler and everything
IN Jlo greatest cOuluelOu'
The employees of the railroad station
Fastened to the scene and the people
of the town of Limitro were aroused
and came quickly to lend assistance
rescuing injured. kilograms were
sent to Milan and other places asking
assistance and the train arrived in
a short time with doctors to
care for the injured ard a company OF
soldiers to aid in the rescue. Some OF
the victims met terrible deaths, being
cremated before the eyes OF the spec
tators who we're powerless to help,
owing to the impossibility OF remov
ing the heavy mass OF woodwork with
which they were surrounded. Other
unfortunates were extricated only to
die in the arms of their rescuers. After
the fire was extinguished, the injured
and the bodies of the dead were re-
covered from the smouldering debris.
The corpses presented sickening APP
pearance. Some were disembo weled,
others had their arms and legs crushed
and we're mutilated beyond recogni-
ton. The injured were also in a ter
rible condition; all were suffering from
burns and most of them had broken
limbs. In some cases immediate
amputations of arms or legs were nee
essary. By o'clock this morning 10
dead bodies and % injured were recov'
cred. The authorities declare the
signal was exposed to warn the Milan
express, but it is supposed the engineer
was unable to see it on account OF the

Our Other SER.

Each of us has two selves, the highc~
and the lower. When God seems out Of
reach, as is often the case, and our pray
ers return to us heavier and sadder than
when they left our lips, it is a good
plan to commune with that alter ego
which is a shade nearer the divine, that
part which longs to help and to over
come, but is held down by the infrmi-
ties Of the lower nature. Ask 1t for
strength and instruction, and by so do
ing help the whole man. God is so often
beautifully found In such ys.-Ameri-
