truth is one to the effect that the lcgis-

possible for the Union Traction company

legislation which brought the Union Trac-

CHINESE SNAKE STONE.

Curious Oriental Product which Il Said 10
Cure POis0uOus Eites.
Ben r Spradley, q attache Of the st.
Louis sar4tarium, at 1885 South Grand
avenue, has in his possession one Of the
most curious and what he asserts to be
one Of the most useful and valuable Of
articles. It is what is known as Chi
nese snake stone, and there is said to be
but one other in the country. Indeed
the one in Mr.. Spradley's possession is
but half q one, the original having been
cut in two by Mr.. Spradley and half of
it given to friend. In appearance the
stone looks like a small piece of oblong
shaped camel coal and is about one
eighth Of an inch in thickness, three
eighths Of an inch wide' and half an
inch long. 1t is as light in weight rs a
piece of cork, possesses q polished sur
face aud can be easily cut with knife.
1t is not a stone, in the proper sense of
the word, but is q manufactured article
and is of porous texture.
To cure snake bites or poisonous
wounds of a similar nature with the
"stone" the wound must first he scarf
fed. Then the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is taken off and put into glass of luke
warm water to remain few moments
until it discharges the poison it has alb
sorbed. Then, after the wound has been
washed in Il strong solution of salt wa
ter and again scarified, the stone, which
in the meantime has been rubbed in
warm ashes until dry. is again applied.
If this treatment is kept up for nine
days and the patient abstains during
that time from spirituous liquors cure
is assured.
II secured the stone, said Mr.. Sprad-
ley, from my father more than so years
ago He got it from James ]. Parker,
the man who made it. From 1874 to
1877 was with tho party which was put
ting through the Texas Pacific railroad.
and during that time cured several Of
the party who were bitten by rattlers
and other poisonous snakes. have fire.
qucntly loaned the srone to friends, and
I cut the original in two, giving half of
| it to particular friend of mine. / have
not used the stone for some time, but
| am ready to give a test of its merits ut
any time.
1T is, you see, not properly stone,
but is q manufactured substance of por-
| GUS nature. The theory possessed by
many that SO called 'madstones' are
found in the stomachs of animals is all
nonsense. They are all manufactured in
manner similar to this. and it is sim,
ply their drawing powers and thcil
porousness and consequent capacity for
absorption that renders them valuable. -

do nothing To deserve the awful cost and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Rumors of wars

According to some Of them this country
will now and then be pictured as on the
verge of terrific conflict with Great Brit
min. The respective land and sea forces OF
the two countries will be set forth in cx-
net terms and learned comparisons to
show the relative strengths and chances Of
a conflict between them will be drawn.
Diplomatic relations will be declared
strained almost to the bursting point. The
faces of the administration will be pro-
nounced stern, solemn, and overcast with
the awful thought of prospective response
bility Of war. These rumors will some
times come from Democratic and at other
times from Republican sources. They
will he seemingly believed by prominent

This sort of thing will continue during
the session Of congress, the national con-
vcntions, and on until the next elections
shall have become a thing of the past The
public at large, however will have no
cause to fear disturbance of our peaceful
relations with Great Britain. Politicians
of both parties VIII be chiefly responsible
for the reports, and their activity in spread
ing them will be dine to their hope of fur
thering the chances of their respective po-
litical organizations. Doubtless some of
them will strive so hard to credit the be-
lief of an approaching conflict and the
consequent conclusion that this or that
party can be best trusted with the safe
conduct of the nation i'm the event of war,
as to finally actually believe themselves
that war is unavoidable.

These reports will make more or less in

will be nothing more harmful in them.
1t is not improbable that some spicy cor

that domestic animals could not posi-
