A Fact to Remember When You Meet

A Fact ia Remember When You Meet
q Rather.
The writer saw an Indian kill a rat
tlesnake in a very peculiar manner re-
Gently. The RATHER was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting his
rifle on his knee, apparently taking
aim. Whenever he moved the weapon
q few inches the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with it.
Then, to show how the thing was done,
the Indian moved about the snake In a
circle, and the reptile moved as If his
tail was a pivot, always keeping his
head and body in line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage
his eyes. and shoot the snake in the
mouth. The writer bandaged the In
dams eyes, and, holding the gun at
arms length, the latter pulled the trig-
ger and the ball entered the snakes
mouth.
"How did you take aim?" was tho
query.
1.-THE snake he take aim," was the re-
ply.
We have talked with an old hunter
on this proposition, and he claims that
q rattlesnake will always range direct
ly in line with a gun or stick pointed at
it.-Carson (Nev.) Appeal.

friends; there Is no doubt OF that. by

Sorrow. OF the Manitoba TFarm.-,

Va &A~ AAxkAAAk~UA &Ey0(xHe
A few farmers from the Dakotas and
other American states, during the last
two or three years, took q notion that
they could better their condition by
moving into the queens territory. The
Botttneau On. d. Pioneer prints a let.
ter from John Brander, one Of the I'LL
fortunates, who writes from Nesbitt,
Manitoba, explaining why he cannot
pay his subscription. We make the fol
lowing Interesting extracts, which JUS
titles b good ense Of those who did
not abandon the union for the uncer-
tainties Of the Canadian Northwest:
The Manitoba farmer has a great
many grievances 20 contend with
which seem to keep his nose to the
ground. l will mention a few:
."First the long distance to u wheat
market and the excessively high
freight rates for hauling after paying
q large share Of building the road.
"Second-The unreasUnably high Gus
tom tariffs on agricultural implements
and binders twine that is charged upon
these articles coming into his purely
agricultural country and then the pro-
cecds lavishly squandered on immi-
grafton. CThe increase in population
for the last ten years has not been
equal to the natural increase.)
"Third-ShOrt summer seasons and
early frosts In the fall in wet seasons,
and dry weather.
Our markets at present are about as
follows: Wheat-No. / hard, Al cents
per bushcl; No. . hard (No. 1 Northern)
20 cents; oats 81 cents; barley, ~

Another Preventative of Accidental
Poisoning.

A correspondent adds another to the
long list of suggestions which have
heen made for lessening the danger Of
accidental poisoning. He says that
polygonal and f1uted bottles, which at
various times have been introduced for
poisonous mixtures, have failed chiefly
through lack Of uniformity of practice.
Complicated shoppers have been pro-
posed. but the public does no like CON-
p%lications. The difficulty might be met
by an enactment that no chemist
should send out a poisonous medicine
or linament in other than a test-tube,
or test-tube-shaped bottle. 1t would
not take long for people to learn that
bottles which would not stand, but only
lie on their sides meant danger, and,
moreover, the awkwardness Of such bot
ties would prevent their being used for
innocuous substances, after being emp
tied Of their first contents.

captured a plantation on which were
many hens and chickens.
