A Rattler's Bite.

I send you recipe for the bite of o
rattlesnake that l will warrant to cure
in ninety nine cases out of every hun
dred. ] have known it tried for forty
years in Illinois and have used it on
several animals that were bitten by
rattlesnakes since coming to Florida,
and have never known it to fail in q
single instance.
Thoroughly soak the wound and the
swelled part with pure hogs lard, and
let the patient drink one half pint of
this melted lard. In severe cases re-
peat it in half an hour and give all
the sweet milk that patient can drink.
This kills the poison almost immedi-
a4ely, and the swelling will disappear
in few days. A horse or a COW must
be drenched with much larger dose,
but dogs will eagerly eat lard and
drink milk, even when their heads are
so swollen that their eyes are closed
and the yellow saliva is running from
their mouths. Don't call in doctor
ii bitten by rattler las they are more
dangerous than the snake, but use the
above remedy, and l will warrant
cure. Jacksonville Times-Union.

RETROSPECT.

rhe roses were not just so sweet, perhaps,
As we thought they would surely be,
And the blossoms were not sopearly white
As OF yore, on the orchard tree
But the summer has gone for all OF that,
And with sad reluctant heart
We stand Mt rich autumn's open door
And watch its form depart.
The skies were not just so blue, perhaps,
As we hoped they would surely be,
And the waters were rough that washed our
boat,
Instead of the old calm sea
But the summer has gone for all OF that,
And the golden rod is here;
We can see the CLEAN of its golden sheen
In the hand OF the aging year.
The rest was not quite so real, perhaps,
As we hoped 1t might prove to be,
For instead OF leisure came work sometimes,
And the days dragged weariiy,
But the summer has gone for altof thCt
The holiday time Is DER,
And busy hands in the harvest field
Have garnered their golden store.
The summer was not such dream, perhaps,
or bliss as we thought 'twould be,
And the beautiful things we planned to do
Went amiss for you and me;
Yet still 1t is gone for all OF that,
And we lift our wistful eyes
To the land where beyond the winter SHOWS
Another summer lies.

The opening of the Manchester ship
canal, which has been arranged for
the lst of January, is very important
matter in the South, declares the At
lanta Constitution. Three -fourths of
the cotton consumed in Great Britain
Is taken in the Manchester district,
and within csrting distance of the
Manchester docks The cotton spin
ners of that district have signed, or
are signing, a circular informing the
growers and shippers of the United
States that in purchasing they will
give preference to cotton shipped
direct to Manchester. In addition to
this the saving in charges, as com
pared with Liverpool, will amount to
thirty cents bale. Two steamships
have already been placed to sail from
New Orleans and arrangements are
making for steamship to leave Gal
weston. Later there will be steam
chips placed at Savannah and Charles
ton for the shipment of cotton direct
to Manchester.

A Rawhide Cannon.

A Syracuse man named La Tulip,
has invented a cannon known as the
La Tulip rawhide gun, of which great
things are expected. One of the guns,
made by its inventor, was tested at
Onondaga Valley. 1t weighs in the
neighborhood of 400 pounds, while the
cannon of the same calibre in use by
the army weighs nearly 1900. Its pc.
culiarity lies in its lightness and the
easy manner in which it can be trans
ported. Across the breech it measures
about fourteen inches, and tapers to
about six at the muzzle. A forged
steel cone forming the barrelruns to the
full length, and is only three quarters
of an inch in thickness. Then comes
layer after layer Of the finest rawhide,
compressed until it has the strength
of steel. In fact, its toughness and
staying powers are said to exceed steel.
The rawhide is put on in strips coiled
around and around, and is several inches
in thickness. On top of this lie two
coils of steel wire wound to its strong
est tension and then fled smooth. The
cap placed at the breech can be easily
removed for inspection of the rawhide
filling. The tests we're pronounced
successful, and further trials will be
had. A five-inch bore will be con-
structed as soon as possible, and when
mounted upon a movable carriage it
will then demonstrate whether it can
be used effectively. The five-inch
cannon will be smooth bore and used
to discharge dynamite cartridges, a
trial of which will be made. Freder-
ick La Tulip, the inventor, has been "A
worker of rawhide for twelve years and
is conversant with it in every detail. -

Mr.. o. Ch0nute, formerly President
OF the American Society of Civil En-

the chief problem that still remains to

Origin OF the Word "TrOlley."

Most persons who use the word "trol-
ley" probably do not know the origin
of this term, or why this name was
given to that apparatus by which the
electricity is conveyed from an aerial
wire. Twenty years ago, the word was
used to designate ga form of truck
which can be tilted, for carrying rail-
road materials or the like" This is
the only definition of the word in
Webster's Dictionary of the edition of
1S48. In the edition of 1892 of the
same work, three other definitions are
added. l. "a narrow cart that is
pushed by hand or drawn by an ami
NAL" 1t is noted that this meaning
of the word is in use in England, not
in the United States. 2. "a truck
from which the load is suspended ON
some kinds of cranes" This meaning
is technical, according to Webster, and
employed only in speaking of machin
cry. 3. "(Electric railway A truck
which travels along the fixed conduc-
tors. and forms means of connection
between them and railway car" 1t
is easy to see how the primitive form
of the electric trolley, which travels
upon the wires, came to receive It'll
name from the resemblance to othe,
types of trolley; and the name, having
been Immediately given to its prim'
itive form, was naturally retained whet
the method of connection was changed
from little truck moving on a wire.

The zone system of railroad rates
which is so successfully operated in
Hungary, has made deep impression
upon James L. Cowles, well known in
railroad circles. He says: Distance
costs practically nothing in the
transportation of freight or of pas
sengers, and, therefore, distance
should be disregarded in the dis.
elimination OF rates. The rate now
charged for the shortest distance for
any particular service is the rate that
should be adopted for all distances.
When once train starts from Boston
to San Francisco, there isn't man
living that can tell the difference in
cost of running that train, whether {
passenger leaves the train at the first
station out of Boston or goes through
