THRICE SHE SAW A MAN HANG1N

THRICE SIZE SAW MAN HANGING.
A dispatch from Sweet Home, Texas,
says: A mothers dread presentiment
was terribly and literally fulfilled in
the death by hanging of her wander
ing son. One day Mrs. Harrington,
the mother Of well-to-do planter,
alarmed the family by fainting away at
a window. On coming to she declared
that she had seen mans corpse hang
ing from an oak near, and she describ-
ed his dress minutely. She twice faint
ed afterward on seeing the same vision.
A few days ago tramp applied to
Mr.. Harrington for work, but was
harshly repulsed. The old lady no,
ticed that he was dressed as she had
seen the figure swaying in the tree
branches. Much disturbed, she offer
ed the fellow money to leave, but he
went to town, got frenzied drunk and
then hanged himself on the Harrington
tree. When cut down he was identi'
fed as an elder son and brother, who
was renounced during the war for en-
tering the federal army, and was sup
posed to be dead.
Mrs. Harrington has been prostrated
ever since and is dying broken-hearted

A HOSPITABlE PEOPLE,
A Country Where Strangers Are Always
Welcome.

"A COunUry WE strangers are Always
Welcome.
The Piedmontese are to a great ex-
tent the untraveled inhabitants of an
untraveled country. Curiosity mingles
with kindness in their eagerness to see
strangers within their doors, and any
wayfarer who chooses to make him
self agreeable, and can break the mo-
notony of their sequestered existence,
repays them amply for his entertain
ment. The author of Country Life in
Piedmont" says:
Unbounded hospitality is character
istic of all thriving agricultural dis
tricts. Those who gather from a plen-
tiful land the fruits which most imme-
diately contribute to mans sustenance,
are always glad to share with friends
and guests the bounties which might
otherwise be wasted.
Every one has heard of the peasant
girl who pressed a king to partake OF
some apples, assuring him that what
he did not take ''would be given to the
pigs"
l once threw word across the hedge
to group of rustics who were gather
ing their walnuts, to congratulate them
on the bountiful harvest.

ing up their baskets and aprons. "Have
some! have some! There's enough for
cats and dogs this year"

A BURGLAR DEMORALIZER.

How 1t Worked and Why the Inventor
Didn't Get It Patented.
81 once invented" said a man who
lived in the suburbs to a New York
Sun reporter, "a burglar demoralizer
that was very effective in it's way, but
never got it patented, because 1
didn't think I ought to. 1t was a very
simple continuance. 1t consisted mere
ly of stout wire stretched across the
floor at such distance from the door
and windows that anyone entering
would get under Roadway before reach
ing it, and low enough so that he
would fall over it. There had been a
number of burglars in our town, and so
1 fitted up the lower floor of our house
with the demoralizer. We adjusted
the wires the last thing at night, when
we were locking up.
Gone night-about three nights I
think after we mad set them up-we
heard noise at the back door, and we
knew that somebody was coming. We
gathered around the head of the back
stairs and listened The burglar got
LII WlIHOut HluCl1 IIOuDlS anu C1OoSu
the door softly behind him, and then
for a moment everything was very
still. Then there was a great thud
that fairly shook the house, then an
other moment of stiffness, and then
the suppressed, but steady sound of a
human voice. 1t was the burglar sit
ting on the kitchen floor and cussin'.
"After awhile we moved around a
little upstairs to let him know we were
on deck, and he got up and went away.
He didn't take anything, but Mrs.
Suburb said she had rather he had
taken everything there was in the
house than to hear him swear so, and
that is why 1 never got the demoralizer
patented. 1t was effective, but it would
have seemed like offering a premium
on profanity"

Where 10 Look for Information.

Five-year-old Frances got into the
sugar bowl when her mammals back
was turned the other day, and the lat

Frances, you've been eating sugar!''
GLOW do you know?" demanded
Frances.

me-"
Frances looked abashed and her
mamma proceeded:
''How many Jumps did my little girl
take?'
Mamma" replied the little girl, ''it
my eyes told you I had been eating
sugar you can just ask them how
many Jumps took. Judge.

THE POISON OF THE COBRA.
So Far No Remedy Has Been Discovered

for 1t.
The bite of the terrible cobra of In
,dia is1ooked upon as meaning certain
death. 1t is not surprising that exper-
iments to determine the nature of this
awful poison should attract wide at
tention, when they are made in a
scientific manner emitting their re-
suits to be accepted with confidence.
Such experiments have recently been
conducted by Mr.. 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 quickly, says
Youths Companion, and leaves yell
low substance resembling gum arabic,
or the dried albumen of egg, which is
easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boil
iEg, a concentrated solution of it with
standing the effects of boiling for an
hour or two before entirely losing its
poisonous action. A weak solution
could be rendered innocuous by being

hour.
But, of course, this can give no COM
fort to any victim of a cobra bite, since
the venom, once injected into his
blood, could by no possibility be SUBJ
jected to such 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
considerably delayed its poisonous ac-
ton.
AS it has been shown that pigeons
can be rendered practically insensible
to the poison of a rattlesnake's bite by
being previously treated with minute
injected doses of the venom, Mr.. Kan
thack tried similar experiment with
the cobra poison. But the result was
not encouraging; all the animals thus
treated died when a more concentra-
ted dose of the venom was given to
them.
Some hope had been raised that
doses of strychnia might prove means
of cure, but the experiments showed
that there was no foundation for this
hope. So far, then, cure for the bite
of the cobra remains to be discovered.
