A Snake BisO JAG.

Scientists have found out that AMI.
mails and men eau acquire tho power
to resist tho venom Of poisonous ser.
penis. by gradual incubation with
snake poison. certain sccts Of snake
cllarmcrs become able to handle the
most venomous reptiles with impunity.
1t has been ascertained that In North.
ern India people allow themselves to
10 bitten by snakes once a week or 60,
because the poison produces In them a
form Of intOXlca ti0n which ID 40 al.
Turing rs the effect produced by liquors
from Indian hemp. Not only does a
nOn.fatai bite by a poisonous serpent
confer protection against subsequent
bites. but the same rule seems to apply
to other venOmous animals. Where
scorpions are numerous many people
can DO found who arc quite Indifferent
to their stings: and coming nearer
home. most keepers Of bees will admit
that after they have been stung n Ger.
tain number OF times the stlngs are no
more painful than slight pin-pr!ck.
Common experience Ia thus able to give
strong support to the conclusions OF
men OF science as to the protective re-
suits OF incubation.

May He a. l'rehistUric Boat.

Maj. @. A. vandcgrlft, Of the Board
of Administration, who was eighteen
years In the lighthouse service on the
Ohio River. tells Of an Interesting relic
Of prehistoric ages that lies embedded In
the river embankmcnt n little below
low water mark. The spot Is a short
distance from Bnrton's Landing on the
Illinois side Of the river, nearly 600
miles below Cincinnati. There ut the
rare Intervals In which the river stage
Il at a very low point Is seen protrud.

fiatboat built Of oak. The timbers, rs

pear to have been hewn with nm un.
evenly edged tool. probably Of flint,
and are held together with wooden
pegs. Tho protrudlng portion Is small.
but there Ii enough to indicate consld.
cradle skill In the fashioning Of the
boat.

officers have seen II only few times In
the many years they were employed
on the river. and once they examined
It closely. Tho wood Ii now 40 hard 40

From the formations Of the bank and
the surroundings. which have not
changed In tho slightest within the
memory Of man. the Major thinks the
subsistence that buried the boat under
the cmbankmcnt must have taken
place ages ngo. When telling OF II hc

may yet be taken when tho fact Of the

were sick and paired, Senator Linney

with Senator Henry L. Martin, while
Representative George Lieberth, who
was the Holt leader in the caucus, re-

alleged to have been induced to go,
to Deboe Appeals were made to Mr.
Lieberth, but he refused to yield; not
because he had anything against De-
Doe, but because, he said, he would
not become a party to the election Of
a man made possibly by such double
dealing.
Finding that nothing could be ac-
complished by continued balloting,
the Republicans agreed to an adj
journment.

Injuries Proved Fatal.

Ed. Stewart, the negro whose skull
was fractured by lick on the head
with wagon spoke, in the hands OF
Henry Adams, another negro, died
Friday morning Adams is in Jail
and the next grand jury will in all
PROBABILITY lndi,t him for murder.
Stewart was about 40 years old. When
the fatal lick was struck Stewart was
dazed by the blow and fell, but soon
recovered sufficiently to go to police
headquarters and swear out warrant
for Adams arrest. Later in the day
blood began to flow from his ears and
he soon became unconscious. Two
days before his death an operation
was performed on his head and pieces
of fractured bone were removed. He
seemed for while to rally, but be-
came rapidly worse Thursday after,
noon and died as above stated. An
inquest was held over Stewards body
and the jury returned the following
verdict;
eve, the jury, find from the evi
dence that Ed Stewart came to his
death April % 81, from the effects
of blow on the left side of the head,
just over the ear, with large wagon
spoke in the hands of Henry Adams,
on the 10th of April, 1897, We further
find that the difficulty was provoked
by Adams, who gave the blow with
out cause,

The Snake Coiled Around Him.

Esq. Jas. M. Clark, of the Croftou
neighborhood, had queer experience
with large black snake last Satur-
day. He was out in his field at work
when the reptile suddenly struck at
his legs, but failed to bury its fangs
in the flesh. 1t then quickly coiled
itself around his legs and threw Mr..
Clark to the ground. In trying to
extricate himself from the grasp of
the snake, he exerted himself to such
an extent that he was made very sick
and has since been confined to his
bed in a delirious condition ESQ.
Clark has always had an aversion to
snakes and the attack is said to have
frightened HIM almost to death.

APPELLATE JupGEs' CLERKS.

The House refused to suspend the.
rules, and unfinished business was
taken up. The first thing was the
Senate amendment to the Court of
Appeals Relief Bill, which provided
that seven clerks be employed by the
Appellate Judges, and that $1,000
should be appropriated each year for
them during period of two years..
in order that the Judges might catch
up with the work on their hands.
There was so much confusion for NO
apparent cause that it was nearly Nv
o'clock before the House got down to
business. Mr.. Lunsford said tLaG.
the Relief Bill was for the beneSS OF
the poor litigants as it would 5gable
them to get their cases thSSpgh the
Appellate Court much quicker. A
vote was taken at ll:30 O'Clock, and
the bill as amended in the Senate was
passed by vote of So to 40. A mo
ton to reconsider was tabled. The
bill was introduced by Mr.. w. T
, Thorne,
