A Veteran Rattlesnake.

A huge rattlesnake has for fifty years
been known TO live in the cliffs of Jen.
nie's creek, Johnson County, and many
attempts have been made to capture
it. One day last week COW belong
ing to Dan Davis, who lives in the
Heighborhood, was bitten by snake,
and by marks in the sand and weeds
in the pasture field Mr.. Davis conclu-
ded at once that the COW was bitten by
this huge rattler, and offered $25 to
any one who would kill 1t. One Of
Mr.. Davis's farm hands armed himssli
with two 49, caliber pistols and followed
the trail about mile to a cave in the
cliffs. Climbing a sapling overlook.
ing the mouth of the cave, he remained
there between three and four hours,
when the monster appeared. The
hunter fired nine shots into the snake
before he killed it, and on measuring
it it was found to be eighteen feet
long. It's body in circumference mea.
sured twenty-nine inches. The rattles
on its tail were two feet long and eight
inches broad. Citizens of sixty and
seventy years of age who live in the
vicinity say that when they were young
they heard people talk of monster
snake inhabiting those cliffs, and signs
of the reptile have been seen every few
years. .-Louisville-Cour Journal.

There are only two places in the
world where men are scarce. In the
Shaker communities of this country
The men are gradually dying out, and
the families, as they are called, are
largely made up of females. And
Easter Island, detached spot in the
Pacific, only thirty miles in circum-
ference, is described as an Adamless
Eden where men are scarce and women
plentiful In May last the bark No
nantum, which had cargo of coal for
Panama, was wrecked off this island
and the crew landed in safety, but in
formation has reached the State De-
partment in Washington that the con-

promise happy and prosperous ca

and settle down. 1t is not very long
ago that gray-bearded old man and a
crew of young men intercepted a ship
off Easter Island and invited its sail

esting island, which has been cele-
brated for Oyclopean masonry which
has been regarded as a relic of sub.

The rupee is coined as freely in In
dia to-day as it was before the Govern
ment closed the mints. When the
mints were open, more rupees were
coined by private coiners than by the
Government. The savings of the ma
lives are made into silver bracelets,
rings and other ornaments. When it
became necessary for them TO turn a
part of their resources into money,
they did it by employing a native
,oiner to turn the metal into rupees
It is a country of vast distances, and
the natives could not send their orna-
ments to Government mint, perhaps
one thousand miles away. The native
coiner travelled from place to place and
hut to hut, just like country tinker.
He was glad to work all day turning
bangles into rupees, weight for weight,
for perhaps one rupee as his reward
And very good rupees they turned out
too. They are current everywhere
and nobody questions them. D
course, the practice is illegitimate, ant
when the mints were first closed th'
Government tried to put stop to it
but not with much success. Now it i
winked at by the authorities, for thu
situation in India to-day is too threat

ably the first case on record wher

THAT DRUG CONrRACr.

EDITOR EVENING BULLETIN:
Your editorial anent The Board Of
Health drug contract is entirely
uncslled for and misleading. All
standard drugs from which medi-
cinal preparations are made are
on the list contracted for - about
700 articles all told - including a
very large list Of medicinal preps-
rstions, excepting medicinal prepa.
rations used by homeopathists,a and
patent medicines. If there is any
fault to be found with the present
list it lies with parties who prefer
to call for medicinal preparations
to be compounded for them by the
druggist, and then complain be
cause the price of the preparation
is probably ten times the contract
price of the original ingredients.
Ii has never been the custom to
dictate to the government physi-
clans what drugs or medicinal
preparations they should use or
order on government acquisitions,
or "to doctor" acquisitions to suit
the capricas of tho "ofRoo man"
As long as q government physi-
clans requisition is within the
limit of his allowance it is scrupu.
lousy respected, even if among
the list of twenty or thirty articles
called for he happens to call for
three or four preparations not on
the contract list.
Your statement that large pro.
portion of the drugs used are not
bid for is all rubbish as far as
quality and quantity go, and as
for having everything contracted
for that would be real nice, but it
will take q pretty wise reporter to
divine one year ahead of time what
new medicinal preparations are to
become largely used by the TWEEN
ty-four government physicians
during the succeeding year.
Your commendatory remarks on
the proposed correcting of the list
are rather late in coming, for the
list has always been revised and
enlarged once every year. If you
should propose having it done
twice year you would then be
suggesting something new instead
of something fresh.
BY giving space for the above
in your columns you will greatly
oblige, Yours truly,
