No Antidote For Snake Bites.

The annual death roll in India due to
snake bite is OF such serious dimensions
that the government has for many years
done what it could to arrest the scourge.
The reward for snakes heads may be said
TO have failed for there is more than a
suspicion that the willy natives have been
breeding snakes for the sole purpose of de-
capitation. Antidotes have also failed, al
though the virtues of one or the other rem
edy have been from time TO time believed
In and extolled.
Among the more recent Of these have
been strychnine, permanganate Of potash
and gold chloride These remedies have
recently formed the subject of experiments
by chemists acting for the government OF
India, with almost negative results. II Ii
true that both the potash and the gold salt
in attenuatei solutions, when mingled
with snake venom previous TO injection
into an animal, render the poison inert,
but neither remedy has any effect when In
jected after the entrance Of the venom
Neither Of them can therefore be regarded
as an antidote. Chambers Journal

uNFouhpeD PREJUDICE.
Peculiar Views Held by Many That Ranks
Favor Dull Times.

One of the most surprising features
of the present cheap money agitation is
the evidence of widespread prejudice
against banks. According to the silver
ties and fiat money advocates, it would
seem that bank is diabolical institu-
ton which preys on the farmer and
workingman, while the banker is an
enemy and oppressor of the people,
These peculiar views are held seriously
by many persons, who oppose sound
currency principles merely because the
bankers are III favor of them.
1t is hardly necessary in these en-
hghtened days to show that banks are
beneticent institutions, Of rs much use
in our present system of industry and
commerce ms factories and stores. Their
chief function Is to serve MS reservoirs
for all tho spare capital Of the country,
which they receive only to loan out
again wherever it can be used to best
advantage. The idea Of the Populists
that banks draw interest from the people
on idle money locked up i'll bank vaults
is purely a delusion. Unless capital is
employed IL can earn no interest.
The chief benefit conferred by banks
is their insurance Of credits, through
which much larger volume of business
of all kinds is transacted than if men
had to trade on cash basis. In this
way banks servo tho same useful pur
pose as fire or life insurance companies.
The Populist pretense that bankers
want money scarce so that business will
be depressed is wholly untrue. In dull
times bankers suffer like merchants and
manufacturers. They cannot loan their
funds, while they are nearly always
bound to pay interest on the deposits
loaned to them. Every sensible banker
is anxious for the greatest possible pros
perity The banker of whom the cheap
money advocates dream and write is al.
together creature Of their imagination.

MRS. PLUMB'S GIFT.
Gives the Ground for High School in
Memory of Senator Plumb.

Gives the Ground for n High School in
Memory of Senator Plumb.
EMPoRIA. Kan, July 11.-Mrs. P. B.
Plumb has offered to donate the half
block north of Major Hoods home to the
school district if the board would erect
upon the lots high school building in
memory of the late Senator Plumb.
The building is to cost somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $50,O0O and is to be
used entirely for high school purposes,
upon the ground, and that the place Hse
kept up as park, trimmed and beau Il
fed as carefully as private grounds
This proposition has been talked over
with NUN Der of leading citizens of EN-
poria for the past week, and seems to
meet with universal appreciation.
Major Hood would be most seriously
affected by the proposed building, if it
should happen to be undesirable. Be-
fore The plan was thoroughly understood
Major Hood, thinking it was to be ward
school, and fearing that the children
might destroy his beautiful landscape
gardening, very naturally opposed the
idea. But this morning he said to a re-
porter: "Since l have eeen Mrs Plumb,
and have heard the plan as outlined by
him, to put up a handsome building to be
used exclusively for high school pur-
poses and to keep the grounds for a
! park. you may say that l heartily favor
the Dlan"
