DELAYED ENDEAvoRERs.
Wishing for Trout while BuruinG SNOW Sheds
blocked Their Trains.

SAN FRANCISCO, July s.-A special from Col.
fax. Cal. says that the big snow sheds between
Tunnel Is and Colfax on the Central Pacific
caught fire at 4 o'clock this afternoon. and at 7
were still burning. AS these sheds cover the
main track and no trains can pass when they
are burning, three belated Christian Endeavor
specials are blockaded on the other side Of the
Gre, and will have to be held till the fire Is cX-
tineuished and the track repaired.
These trains carry 900 Endeavorers from OHIO,
Indiana, and Tennessee. They are fishing for
trout In the Truckee River. The fire was sub
dued at 2 O'Clock. and tho trains will probably
move by morning.

SALT DANGEROUS TO HEALTH.
Excessive Use Produces Many De
engagements of the System.

Excessive Use Produces Many De-
engagements of the system.
The use of salt as a condiment Is gen
eral and so universally believed in as neces-
sary that we rarely hear a word against its
excessive use but there are multitude or
persons who eat far too much salt-eat 1t on
everything on meat, fish potatoes, melons.

in bread and on a host of foods too numerous
to mention. says the Journal Of Hygiene.
is relished which has not a salty taste, and
this hides more or less the real taste. which
is often very delicate. Now, the amount OF
salt required in the system is comparatively
small and if the diet has been rightly com
DoUnded very little is necessary. Some go 50
far as to discard its use altogether, but
whether this is wise not we will not here
consider.
What are some of the evils of the excessive
use of salt? They are to paralyze the nerves
of taste or to pervert them 50 they cannot
enjoy anything which has not a salty flavor,
and in addition there is direct tax on both
the skin and the kidneys in removing it from
the blood Whether the skin is harmed by
this tax we do not know. Possibly it is not
greatly injured yet we know that few people
possess a healthy skin. but it is now pretty
well settled that an excessive use of salt does
overtax the kidneys in its removal, and that
the great number of cases of arrangement
and disease of these organs Is due to this use.
II takes only little time to learn to enjoy
MANY kinds of food without salt. and we ad-
wise our readers and others to look into this
matter and to try and diminish the use of
this condiment so far possible. We be-
lieve they will be better for 1t.

draughts or chess. The game requires
considerable skill and patience, and Is
admirably adapted to the habits Of the
Arabs.
There Is indeed no game SO popular
or so ancient as this. It extends over
half the inhabitated area Of the globe,
and in the Museum Of Cairo there is an
alabaster slab with holes eXcaVated in
1t exactly like those on the top Of the
Pyramid Of Ghizeh. This slab dates
from the second or third dynasty, ana
is, therefore, a great deal older than
this pyramid. The game has been
played for six thousand years, and Is
still as much esteemed as ever. 1t is
as lasting and unchanged as the pyra-
mid itself.
Il seems strange to think that the
mighty Pyramid of Ghizeh should thus
be converted into gigantic mancala
board, for the amusement of AraD
guides. Many occult reasons have been
given for the construction of the pyra-
mid: the ostensible use Of il being to
form a sepulchre for the monarch of
the time 1t has been supposed to be
an observatory, or an astrGnom1c sign
built to record an arc of the meridian,
the earth's diameter, the revealed unit
of measure the rising of the old polar
star and other points Of cosmlc or
mathematical knowledge. But 1t has
been left to modern ingenuity to find
a novel use for it, whatever object 1t
may have served in primitive times.
And this use of the great pyramid as a
table for one of the cOmmoneSt games
Of the Fellaheen reminds us how some
of the grandest of the ancient Roman
monuments were similarly used.

the other morning included nearly ev-
erything into which it was possible to
fit clover leaf.
The clover leaves are first carefully
pressed. They are gathered mostly
from farms over in New Jersey. 1t
seems strange that there are now per-
sons who go forth to gather the en-
blem of good fortune as a business
proposition. Still, the trouble of look
ing for four-leaved clovers is well re-
paid.
Perhaps if you object to clover leaf
gathered with the idea of. sordid gain,
you may think of some reminders
which you carefully put in some Of
your favorite books this summer. You
may remember a certain volume Of
Tennyson, a shady nook, a summer
which is gone and the leaves which she
helped you find. 1t happens that many
bring their own clover leaves to the
jeweler to have them mounted.
The process of preparing the leaves is
very simple. They must be first care
fully present. Generally the jeweler
puts a little white satin or silk at the
back Of the leaf. The leaf is placed
between two little disks Of glass. 1t
has the appearance Of an article mount
ed in a glass slide for microscopical
purposes. The disks are placed lightly
together and held in place by rim of
gold or silver placed tightly about
them. You can thus see the four
leaved clover and know that it Is pro-
tected from rough usage. The leaf is
thus protected from fading, for months,
at least.
There is further development of
this clover fad, which requires that a
red ladybug be embedded in the crystal
in company with the clover leaf. The

The latest fad in jewelry is the four
leaved clover This talisman of good
luck, encased between layers Of glass
and bound about by circlets of gold
and silver, will be a favorite holiday
present this year. The leaves are set
in lorgnettes, watch chains, brooches,
bOnbonnieres, jewel boxes and watch
charms. Before the winter is over you
may see the quadruple leaf worn as
much as secret society badges, says the

suit.
In every instance where a quantity
Of the antidotal solution greater in
amount than the quantity of venom
was administered the subject of expert
ment recovered. 1t then occurred to
me that possibly the bile of non-poison-
Gus serpents, as we'll as animals,
might possess in limited degree, at
least, the antidotal properties which 1
had already discovered in the bilical
secretion of the snakes whose bites
caused death. 1t is a we'll known fact
that all snakes, harmless as well as
venomous, resist through their organ
ism the fatal action of all venoms that
are injected beneath their skins or di-
rectly into their blood.
Various facts. somee of which are
anatomical, tend to show that the
harmless, equally with. the venomous
serpents, possess poison glands and
secrete venom. The former are harm
less only in the sense that they do not
possess weapons of offense in the form
of poison fangs. Most probably, there
fore, the relative protection against the
poisonous action of venom introduced
into the blood, which is common to SER
penis, is dependent,upon an effect pro-
duced upon them by the venom which
they all secrete, although in the case
OF the harmless SerpentS only in rela-
lively small quantities.
Experiments made with the bile of
the grass snake confirmed this SUPPOSE
ton. When tested against the venom
Of the Indian cobra. it was found to
possess curative powers. although it
was always necessary to use a much
larger quantity than when the antidote
was obtained from the bile of the ser
pent which had also furnished the

most painstaking investigation and ex-
pertinent. I believe myself justified in
saving that l have discovered an abso-
lutte antidote for the bite Of the most
deadly serpent. I havessalso found that
the substance from which the antidote
is secured is strongest and best in the
serpent whose bite is the most deadly
The antidote is found in the bile of
the serpent To secure 1t it is neces-
sary to isolate or separate the anti
dotaI constituent of the bile from the
remainder of the substance found in
a serpent's gall bladder. The method
of the administration of the antidote
is that known as injection beneath the
skin, so that the antidote may not min
gle directly with the blood of the VIC
tim Of snake bite, but rather be alb
sorbed.
1 have made number of experiments
with the hillary secretion of the Indian
and African cobras, than which no
more poisonous snakes exist. The re-
suit of these tests showed that the bile
of venomous serpents is able, when
mixed with the venom of the same
serpents, to prevent what have hereto
fore been deadly doses of the latter
from producing death; and that the
bile is indeed so powerful an agent in
doing this that a quantity actually
smaller than the quantity of venom
may be sufficient for the purpose. 1t
need scarcely be added that the doses
Of bile thus shown to be sufficient rep
resent only minute portions of the bile
found in the gall bladder of one of the
snakes mentioned as being utilized in
the experiments.
These proofs laid bare the certainly
remarkable fact that every venomous
serpent has at it's disposal enough of
bile to prevent injury from venom in
troduced into the blood in quantities
many times greater than the minimum
dose of venom which will produce
death. The experiments 1 have de-
scribed were made by mixing together
and leaving in contact ten
minutes a dose of venom with
a dose of the artidotal con-

Pointing to the holes beside me on the
platform, 1 asked one of the most in
telligent Of the Arabs who had con-
st1tuted themselves my guides what
they meant. He said that they had
been made by their friends for the pur-
pose of playing the favorite game of
mancala, with which to beguile the
tedious time Of waiting on the top of
the pyramid while the visitors they had
brought up with them were resting
themselves or admiring the view. The
game is exceedingly popular with the
peasants of Egypt. There are either
five rows of five holes in each row,
or seven rows of seven holes, or nine
rows Of nine holes. The specimens I
saw on the pyramid were of the last
mentioned pattern. The game is played
with small cOwrie shells or with peb-
bles which are called "kelbs" or dogs.
All the holes are occupied with kelbs
with the exception of the central one.
The players move their respective kelbs
nearer to this vacant center, by taking
