Poisoned by a Snake In Alcohol.

A surprising experiment demonstrat-
ing the lasting qualities of snake poison
was recently made by Professor Maison-
neuve, which showed that a dead snake
Ia almost as dangerous as a live one.
The professor took an unusually large
specimen Of the common viper of south
ern France, which for more than 20
years had been exhibited in the zoolog-
ical museum at Anglers, France, pre-
served in alcohol. The first experiment
with one Of the poisonous fangs of this
snake seemed TO show that the 20 years
contact with the alcohol had robbed the
poison of its virulence, for q sparrow
wounded with one of its teeth did not
develop any symptoms of being poisoned.
The cause of the nonaction of the poison
at first was speedily found, however, in
the t~hickening Of the poison at the en-
trance of the canal into the tooth, which
prevented the poison from flowing.
When Professor Maisonneuve extracted
some Of the poisonous substance with a
fine needle and injected a minimal por-
ton of it into the sparrow, the latter
showed all the symptoms of poisoning
inside Of half an hour, which gradually
increased until it died in commissions in
AK hours after the injection of the poi
son. As it vas heretofore believed that
snake poison loses its dangerous and
virulent qualities with the death of the
reptile, great care in handling dead
snakes will be a matter of common sense
~nrecaution.

There was a trial before Mr.. Justice
Cave recently which. if correctly re-
ported, shows what is the profit of the
shareholders of The Times. Mr.. Adams
bought one-fourteenth of two-thirds of
one-ninth Of two-sixteenths Cor II, 512)
Of The Times from Mr.. Brodie for 1858
on the assurance that this minute share
was worth about e25 per annum Ac-
cording to him, after he had purchased
the share, he found it only to be worth
cit a year. On this he asked for dam
ages. The jury assessed the damages at
e65. Assuming this share to be worth
els per annum (Which seems about the
average v~alue), it is clear that the net
dividend on all shares is e27, 216. Mr..
Adams, believing it to be worth 1858,
paid for it AL years purchase. The
jury valued it at e28S. which, taking
the annual return at Els, would be 1G
years purchase, making The Times
worth e435, 458. This. however, does
not quite correctly, I believe, represent
the value. for MIR. Walter. as printer,
derives a large profit on an old contract.
This contract, in point of fact, represents
what may be called preference shares,
while those of the shareholders may BIZ
termed ordinary shares, the value of The
Times being the sum total of both.--

changing the order of events and intro
ducing a new epoch. When everything
in the education and environment of
Washington tended to shape his views
as a supporter of the ancient principle
of hereditary monarchy and ~aristocratic
institutions, he threw himself with his
whole force. and apparently without
personal ambition, into the scale of re-
publican government, so that it became
the winning side. not only then, but
now. And the truth of his moral discern
ment is seen in the almost infallible
sagacity of his political wisdom.

first of soldiers was likewise the most
exemplary of citizens. The wisdom
which gave him pre-eminenoe in the
field was equally useful in guiding the
ship of state in the most tempestuous
waters through which it has ever been
called to hold it's course. In this work
also he found ample scope for the les
sons he had learned in the wilderness,
when the radiant qualities of his soul
were called forth by his contests with
the forces of nature, and when he held
communion in the deep solitude of
mountain and forest and by tine untamed
waters of that river which now bears
upon its bosom the commerce Of a
mighty population. The only other citi-

Wanted a Cell.

He Feared q One Eyed Woman and
Wanted a Cell.
A man with a wild eye and a look OF
melancholy desperation on his face
walked into a. police station a few days
ago and said to the sergeant %in'oharge:
"Have you a nice, quiet cell that yon
could lock a man up in for a few hoursf''
"Plenty Of them," said the sergeant.
"What's the trouble?"
Its a case of desertion, divorce and
assault with intent to kill. Are you sure
you have a cell where a man could get
way back in a corner where a tall woman
in a red shawl couldn't reach him
through the bars with an umbrellar"
II guess SO. Who ia the cell forr"
"It's for me. Put me in right away,
and if a woman with one eye, about 5
feet 8, chewing a match, with a pair of
8 ounce wooden mitts on comes in
just tell her that you never saw me-"
81 can't lock you up without some
cause. Can't you explain?"
The nan tiptoed to the window, and
after gazing anxiously up and down the
street tiptoed back.
"Did you ever hear of Samuel It'd.
bald?''
"Never did,"
1.-Two months ago, sir, Samuel It'd
bald was the possessor of a happy home
in this town. The angel Of peace had
alighted above the door Of his humble
but happy household and never once
thought of coming off its perch. But,
alas, the trail of the serpent was soon
to destroy this Eden. His wife, whom
he adored with all the intensity Of a
strong, c~onf1ding man making g.. so per
day, became infatuated with a reckless
character named Thomas Gilkey and
abandoned her husband and home, sir,
to fly with this rash a~dventurer. She
went to Oklahoma and secured a divorce
and married Thomas Gilkey. Think o,
the agony and sorrow of Samuel It'd.
bald, left alone by his faithless wife.

around him and his most deeply rooted
affections all busted up!''
1T was, though, and nc mistake

heard arguing with the policeman ont,

for the window.

An ARCTIC chrls,maa.

The crew of All arctic explorer had
great pleasure, one Christmas amid the
ice and snow, in teaching the little Es-
kimo children how to observe an Amer
lean Christmas. The queer little tots
had never heard of a Christmas tree,
and Santa Claus was an unknown per-
sonage. The sailors were desperately
homesick, until one of them. with little
ones Of his own, happened to think of a
Christmas tree for the little, chubby Es-
kimos, with their round heads and soft,
dark eyes.
A real, live, green tree was, of course,
out of the question in that icy region,
so the men gathered up the bones OF
slaughtered walruses, bears, whales and
other creatures and tied them together
SO that they branched out in every direc-
ton.
When it cam to candy, they could
not get that, either; but instead they
made balls of whale blubber, or fat, OF
which the little fur wrapped Eskimo is
extremely fond, and these queer substi.
tutes for caramels were tied on the
tree" with colored cord. Bright beads.
shining buttons, some brass headed
tacks and a few other such remarkable
presents" were also tied on. and then
bits of lighted candles were stuck all
about, giving quite a festive air to the
queerest Christmas tree that was prob
ably ever seen. But the Eskimo children
enjoyed it to a wonderful degree, and
the homesick sailors grew bright and
cheerful in giving them such a noveI
pleasure. New York Tribune. 4
