Bit by d Raitlesnake.

Dave Aillsaps, while prospecting
In the hills near kinkead last Satur-
day, was stung by rattlesuake. He
says that he stopped down to pick up
piece of float from erevice in the
rocks, when, without warning Of any
KIND, the snake struck him on the
little finger of the right hand. After
receiving the bite he fought the
snake for fifteen minutes before he
killed it and found that it had six rat
ties and button. He then cut the
fangs out of his finger with his knife
and bound a bale rope tightly around
his wrist and walked to Kinkead two
miles distant. In the evening he
tagged the train and came to Haw-
thorne and placed himself under DR..
Brierlys care. His arm and breast
are greatly swollen, but the doctor
says he will probably come out all
right. 1t is fortunate that the mis-
hap occurred on a day when the
south train was due in Hawthorne,
else he would have been another day
aud night without medical aid, in
which event he would probably not
have reached town alive.

BESSlE'S GREAT SACRIFICE.
she Felt Sorry for Baby Who Had NJ
Doll.

Doll
The stockings had been hung up and
the little ones gathered around the
hearth to hear mamma tell the story
of the Babe of Bethlehem, SAYS the
New York World. Their small faces
expressed profound sympathy when
they heard how the Son of God was
born in a stable, how He lay on a bed
of straw, how He shivered in the cool
December night and how His life was
in danger from the wicked Herod. Lit
tie Bessie seemed TO be particularly inn
pressed. She said nothing, but one
could see that she was thinking hard.
When, half an hour later, mamma
came to Bessie's bed to kiss her good
night, She found the child pressing her
doll to her bosom and gazing at it with
unutterable affection. AS she stopped
over the bed Bessie looked up and
asked, earnestly: Mamma, amt Gods
baby got any dolly?"
NO." replied the mother, smiling.
Bessie looked at her doll again and
Rugged it. Then conflicting emotions
showed themselves ON the little face.
After long silence the child raised
her eyes, which had such an expression
as those of the martyrs must have worn
at the stake, and said, firmly: Take
it to Him, mamma
Closing her eyes tight Bessie laid the
doll in her mothers hands and buried
her face in the pillow to try to forget
the great sacrifice she had made.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portian of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an intlamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian lube,
When this tube gets infianed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube resto ed to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever Nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which ID nothing but au in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

Worth Knowing.

A very simple and efficient remedy
for corns is the following; A piece of
cotton is placed upon the corn, and
before retiring for the night it is sat
urated with a few drops Of oil of tur-
pentine. If repeated four or five
nights in succession the corn will dis
appear, no matter how old it is. The
skin around the corn peels off, but
this is perfectly harmless, for it only
helps to more thoroughly eradicate
the trouble.

first-class "cargadores," or burden-bear-
ers, in the City Of Mexico or Vera CRUZ.
There 3 probably no race outside Of Asia
that clings so tenaciously to Old customs
and that has so thorough a contempt for
modern ways of civilization as the poor
people of Mexico. In the early history OF
Mexico, since the occupation by the Span
iSh, post-houses were established on the
great roads of the country about two
leagues apart, and regular couriers were
dispatched a. regular intervals with the
mail and commerce of the country. In
the Mexican national museum are dozens
of pictures of these courers with their
dispatches in the form of hieroglyphics
running over the mountains and plains,
and the legends state that they were
trained so as to make four to five leagues
an hour. the league in that land being a
little less than two and one-half miles.
There are scores of mail carriers In the
sparsely settled parts OF Mexico that walk
and run over 40 miles every week. A few
cover on foot forty miles day six days
in the week, and up and down rough
mountain roads at that. They do not
seem to know what fatigue means. The
fact is that from the Rio Grande river
to the straits OF Magellan the peaceable
Indian carrier bears on his back the COM
meree Of the Spanish-American countries,
the load being held in place by straps
across the forehead or around the breast
or shoulders or by two or more of these
combined
The descendants OF the Aztecs are a
stiff-necked people in more than one sense,
and seem to prefer to place their burdens
so az to be supported by a strap across
the forehead. bringing the entire strain
upon the forehead and the muscles of the
neck, while the hands are left free to
handle the Indispensable cigarette and
once in a while to carry a pole to help
them up some precipice. In this way
have seen them carry a barrel of flour
on their shoulder up a hill so steep that
l had to pick my steps with care to avoid
a tumble longer than that from the top
of the Washington monument.
Ride along any of the railroad systems
Of Mexico, and the persistent patient poems
are nearly always in sight, the burros and
their masters both heavily loaded, and
paralleing the iron track with animated
trains that are no mean rivals in a COM
mercial sense. The yankee manager of
one of the roads said one day, as he
pointed to them: There is our rival; that
Is the only transportation company we
fear. If II were not for that line this
country would treble its lines of railroads
next year, and the existing roads would
double their profits. We have to combat
the habits ana customs Of centuries. Those
fellows carry on their backs clear to the
City Of Mexico the crops of great haci-
endas far back in the mountains, and II

the earliest things that attract the at

first. the men and women who are hourly
seen going at dog trot up and down
the narrow streets, with enormous loads
Of merchandise on their shoulders, and,
second the prison-l.ke closeness with
which every home, from the lowllest plow

is barred and bolted to any entrance of
inquisitive eyes from the street.
