DIED FROM FRIGHT.

. - ..... , ..-..,- Killed Him.
a= "One of the most remarkable Incl
dents of death by fright that I ever
came across" said a local celebrity
the other day, happened in Mexico
several years ago, when I was making
! a trip through the upper portion of the
republic on horseback. We had in the
crowd couple of Mexicans, who did
the camp work and cooked for the
party, which included besides myself
couple of friends. One evening one of
the Mexicans was absent for several
hours from the camp and I started out
to find him. I went into the bush in
the direction I had seen the fellow 20
and had not walked more than a quar-
ter OF mile before I caught sight of
Mapuelo, that was his name, reclining
in comfortable manner against the
trunk of small mesquite bush. AS
drew nearer was surprised to see the
fellows face set in fearful stare, Just
as if he might have seen a ghost. NV
establishment was considerably accen-
tuated when I observed, coiled in Man.
uelo's lap, large rattler. The snake
was swaying it's head in a languorous
manner, Kissing slightly, but not rat
ting. It had not seen me as yet. I
took out my pistol with a purpose of
killing the snake, as bad marksn1an as
I was, and I dared not make noise for
fear the snake would bury it's fangs in
the flesh of the Mexican. I crept toward
the pair. There was a, sudden cessation
in the kissing and the head swayed no
more. It had heard me. There was
sudden uncoiling of it's folds and be-
fore could shoot the RATHER slipped
off the lap of Manuelo and disappeared.
The Mexican still gazed into vacancy
with the same awful stare of horror I
had first noticed. Iput my hand upon
his shoulder and there was no response.
He, was dead. Actually, as it turned
out, killed by fright. He must have
gone to sleep and while slumbering the
rattler had crawled from the bush into
his lap. Awakening, the unfortunate
man must have seen the snake before
he moved, and, held fascinated by the
gaze of the reptile, and realizing that
to move must be death, had stood the
strain until the horror had killed him."

The task Of artifcially rendering AMI

not an easy one, for the process depends

number of experiments before he met
with success. But it is not necessary
Eere to discuss his various efforts;
suffice it to say that at length his
labors were rewarded, and the follow
ing extract from one of his memoirs de-
scribes the methods which he now
adopts for his purpose @
'Thebest method of procedure for the
purpose OF vaccinating large animals
destined to produce autonomous
serum consists in injecting them from
the outset with gradually increasing
quantities of the venom of the cobra
mixed with diminishing quantities
OF a one to sixty solution of n.y.
pochlorite of Of lime. The condi-
ton and the variations in the
weights of the animals are carefully
followed in order that the injections
may be made less frequently if the ami
mails do not thrive well. Quantities of
stronger and stronger venom are in
turn injected, first considerably di-
luted, and then more concentrated; and
when the animals have already &C.
CURED sufficiently perfect immunity,
the venoms derived from as large num-
Der of different species of snakes as
possible are injected. The duration of
the treatment is of considerable length
at least Is months-before the serum
is sufficiently active to be used for the
purpose of treatment"
During the past three years an i'm
mense number of animals have been
vaccinated by this method at the Pas
teur institute at Lille, where DR.. CAL
mette is now director; and in paper
published few weeks ago we are told
that they have horses there which have
yielded for the past 10 months serum
extremely active against venom. These
horses receive in single innoculation,
without the least inconvenience, doses
of venom sufficient to kill so horses

It will thus be seen that Uncle Sam has

exercised the counterfeiting of stamps
is not very difficult, as little close at
tention is bestowed upon them in the
mails. But the expense is so great,
and the returns so small, that the coun-
terfeiters do not linger long at stamp
job.
During single year the bureau of
engraving and printing prints about

over an average of one dollar per head
for every inhabitant of the United

each person writes, one letter a week.
All people who write letters, however,
are not thoughtful enough to prepay
them. Some idea of the number of de-
linquent correspondents who like to
send their letters postage due may be
obtained from the fact that during the
last fiscal year the value of the post
age due stamps affixed to letters with
out sufficient postage aggregated $780,
