The following cure for rattlesnake bites is guaranteed by U. s. Army surgeon in Arizona, who says it never fails if used in time: When bitten by 8 rattlesnake, take sharp knife and cut through the fang wounds just deep enough to make it bleed, then take some mud and make dam around the wound, break cartridge and pour some of the powder on the wound, then touch it of with a match and the ex- plosion burns the poison and kills it's effect. If there is no mud convenient, or water to make it, put on the powder and fire it all the same. The mud dam is simply to confne the powder so that it will not burn 5 larger space than is necessary.

No man can long do his duty in busi- ness or socially and politically without making enemies. If you combat wrong, you must incur the enmity of the wrong doer. There are those who are all things to all men, who get through life with few enemies, but the world is no better from their having lived. A natural life is no factor in the warfare that is being waged in the world between right and wrong, and when you can write on mans tombstone, "He was without enemies, . you can safely inscribe on the reverse side, land did nothing for the good of mankind" It is only the man that has the courage of his convictions and will stand for the right regardless of consequences to himself, who is of account in the warfare against evil -- [Exchange.

Testing HI. ReIigion.

II was away upon the headwaters of the
Big Sandy recently" said the shoe drum
mer according to the Washington Star,
land ! discovered something new, even in
that land of yesterdays and eventlessness.
l was riding along a creek valley where
l was told lived a mountain preacher who
had a practical idea Of what religion
should do for those who experienced il and
had adopted odd ways of putting his ideas
into practice. AS 1 reached a rise in the
road l saw al the bottom young man
driving a pig into potato patch, and be-
fore / could reach him he had followed the
pig through the narrow gate and was try
ing to drive ii out again. 1t struck me as
peculiar proceeding, and when I came op-
posite the gate / pulled up my horse and
sat watching the young fellow and the
pig If you ever tried to get a pig out of
potato patch you can form no idea Of
what job it is, and as l watched this
young mountaineer patiently chasing the
pig hither and yon, getting it well headed
toward the gate, only to have il double on
him and go back into the patch again,
time after time, / began to wonder what
manner of youth this was that had come
into the mountains. Finally, he brought
it over very carefully, and as he got Ii
almost out, il gave a sudden grunt and
dodge and into the patch again it went.
" Gosh darn the hog he said, putting
and blowing and hopping his face with
his shirt sleeve.
9" why didn't you say that before? 1
asked laughing.
" Excuse me, stranger he said, notic-
ing me for the first time, I didn't see you
was thar and he blushed violently and
seemed 10 be greatly confused.
"'Oh, that's all right / FASTENED to say,
1 only wonder you didn't cuss the lard out
of him..
" We'll, reckon I don't ker durn,' he
said, I done the best 1 knowed.'
= How do you meant? 1 inquired, catch
ing an idea OF The situation all at once.
" You don't know it, l reckon, bein' a
stranger in these parts, he said, but Elder
Martin sot me to doin that to see eff wuz
ripe fer religion yit. I've had a notion fer
about a year past that I ought to be j'inin'

and that's what l been a-doin'.'
" Judging by what 1 heard you say a
while ago I should say you were not ripe
1 said, laughing at his explanation and
manner of it.
"'Oh,' he exclaimed, that amt no sign.

DEFoRMITY OF SCHOOL GIRLS.

Miss Mclean, teacher of physical train
ing in the Maryland Normal School, is
compiling statistics showing the injury
done to school children, and especially
to girls, by carrying heavy books to and
from school daily. Miss Mclean has for
several years examined physically all OF
the girls admitted to the normal school,
hence is well informed with respect to the
subject which she Is treating. Out of
recently admitted class of JOG girls she
found thirty-fve cases of more or less ac-
centuated deformty which she is able TO
trace to the carrying daily Of heavy books.
The most common manifestation is an
unevenness of the shoulders, caused by
habitually carrying a considerable weight
on one side.
1t is a rule in the public school of Balti-
more that books shall not be left in the
school room over night, and that no book
shah be left at home during the day. The
consequence is that each pupil must twice
a day lug a load of books between home
number of books which must be so car
ried runs as high as thirteen or fourteen,
some of them Weighing nearly a pound.
When 1t is considered that some Of the
children who must carry such loads are
slender, delicate wlsps of girls, and that
the loads must be transported twice daily
for the whole school term, 1t is not sur
prising to hear Miss Mclean say that
many girls are drawn one-sided," and
that some of them are permanently in.
jured by the burden.
Girls suffer a great deal more than boys
from the carrying of school books, for the
reason that the average boy caring more
for comfort than for appearances, fastens
his books together with a leather strap
which he throws over his shoulder, thus
placing the burden in a natural position.
The girl on the other hand thinks it
would be undignifed for her to carry her
books in that fashion, so she piles her
smaller books upon her big geography,
takes the bundle under her right arm,
elevates the shoulder on that side and
depresses the other and trudges off with
her load. To rest herself she shifts
the edge of the geography to her hip or
against her side, but does not change the
elevated position of one shoulder and the
depressed position of the other. Miss Nc
Lean says that in the case of delicate
girls, carrying books in such manner for
a long time is apt to induce curvature of
the spine and other serious ailments. She
favors persuading the girls to adopt the
plan of the boys; to get themselves leather
straps and sling their books over their
shoulders.

Coogler, the South Carolina laureate, Is
evidently a poet of peace. The pomp and
panoply of war delight not his gentle soul.
His Pegasus does not cavort and champ
his bit to the blare of hugles and the
boom of drums. The scream of the eagle
bird is not music in his ears. These OBJ
servations are occasioned by the profound
silence of Coogler during these days when
the tramp of troops, the click of diplo-
matte typewriters and the rattle of ISL
ands being annexed are keeping every
body else jumping and voluble.

RESPECT FOR THE CONSTITUTION.


The New York Evening Post says, The
most noteworthy feature of the last month
of the political canvass which closed on
Tuesday was the composure with which
the nation accepted the notification OF The
federal constitution in the state of Hi
nois" The Post refers to the refusal OF
the Governor of Illinois to allow negro
miners from Alabama TO work in the coal
mines OF that state.
1t can hardly be said that the action OF
the Illinois Governor has been viewed with
composure. There have been protests
against it in the newspapers in all parts
OF the country. But great as The nullifi-
cation of the Federal Constitution was
when the Illinois Governor declared that
citizens of Alabama should not work in
the mines Of that state, would not the an
nexing of the Philippine Islands and the
governing Of them as colonies be much
greater notification of the organic law
of the republic? The policy of the admin
istratfon in respect to the Philippines, so
far as it can be determined from what has
appeared In the public prints, means the
changing of the country from republic
into an empire.
The constitution makes no provision for
the government of colonies. The spirit of
that instrument is all against colonies. 1t
is evident that the trainers of the con-
sdtutjon intended that this country should
not have governmental interest In colonies
that the government of the republic
should be confined strictly to this CONT
nent. Criticism OF the unconstitutional
action of the Governor of Illinois is not
likely to make much impression on the
public mind while a far greater unconst-
lutional act Is about to be committed.
If the President had interfered in I'LL
nois the question might have been asked
him. how he could consistently act as the
defender of the constitution in the I'LL
nois case while preparing to put into force
a policy which would be a greater nullif1-
cation of the constitution than has ever
been attempted.

NOT A PRESIDENTIAL PROBABLE.
INV

There is some talk TO the effect that Col
Roosevelt will be strong candidate for
the Republican nomination for President
in 1900. Those who hold this opinion think
that his record as soldier would make
him the most popular candidate the Re
publicans could nominate. Mr.. Croker,
the Democratic leader of New York city,
does not think that Col. Roosevelt will be
a rival of Mr.. Mckinley for the presiden-
tial nomination. In speaking of him di-
rectly after the election he declared that
his popularity as a soldier was rapidly dis
appearing. He said: Roosevelt was a
great man with the people when he re-
turned from Cuba. Had the election taken
place then he would have been
elected by at least 100000 majority.
Had the election taken place two weeks
later than it did he would have been de-
feated by 100000 majority. Mr. Croker
thinks that Roosevelt's soldier record pull
ed him through, but he is confident that
it viii never help in politics again. He is
a very shrewd political observer If he is
right in the view he takes President Me-
Kinley need not feel uneasy on account
of Col. Roosevelt's success in New York.

The Washington correspondence of the
New York Herald says President McKin-
ley and his cabinet have carefully noted
the sentiment of the country as expressed
in the recent election, and have reached
the conclusion from their observations that
the United States should pay Spain about
81, 100000 for getting out of and giving up
the Philippine islands. This amount, ii is
said, represents approximately the value
Of public improvements that have been
made in the islands by Spain with money
borrowed on Philippine bonds. II is safe
TO say that nobody who voted in the cleo
ton had any idea that he was expressing
an opinion in the matter of an indemnity
to be paid to a conquered nation by the
cOnCueror

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie said, in an adj
dress the other day. that if the pending
efforts at steel making on large scale
in the South were successful, Pittsbura
would have a formidable rival. Then
Pittsburg had as well make such arrange
ments as may to her seem best, in antici-
patton of the rivalry. The South is 60
ing to make steel, and lots of it, Of the
best grades. The great plants now going
up in Alabama are an earnest of the faith
which capitalists have in the South as a
steel maker. Success is already practically
assured.

An Ineffective War Record.
From the Springfeld Republican Qnd).

Not even his war record could save
James Hamilton Lewis. He it was who
claimed to have forced the war upon the
administration by his attacks in the
House. and even after war was declared
he went into the field as a civilian pa
triot to help down Spain. The defeat of
James Hamilton Lewis-his whiskers, his
trousers and his spats-in such a warlille
and imperial state as Washington, rather
upsets Mr.. Cookers theory that any one
with a Cuban war record this year could
have won.

KipIing-s Fable Para1IeIed.

Apropos of the Cars peace proclama-
ton and Rudyard Kipling's warning poem
it is interesting to note the words of a
Detroit Free Press. He, as well as Kip
ling has a fable to tell: 1T amuses me
to read of the expressions of some of your
writers and preachers here in America
concerning the wonderful humanity and
magnanimtiy of the Gar of all the Rus
sias in his so-called peace proclamation
Do not think for one moment that the
name of the young Gar deserves to be
placed in the list of great humanitarians.
His action in this matter reminds me
of an old Russian fable of a lion that was
the terror of all the other animals in the
region over which he roamed during the
early years of his life. All of the animals
were in mortal fear of him and would go
any distance out of their way to avoid
meeting him. But when old age brought
with it decrepitude and failing powers,
the old lion saw that he must change mis-
policy, as the great bluff that he had been
putting up would not go any longer. The
wise old fellow Immediately began to talk
about peace and brotherly love. He call
ed the animals together in great numbers
and made eloquent appeals TO them, urg-
ing that they should hereafter dwell to-
gether in peace, thinking more of each
others interests than of their own. The
animals listened with profound surprise
and awe and We'd with each other in ex-
tolling the virtues and kindheartedness of
this almost helpless but remarkably
Smooth king of beasts The Russian bear
is to-day in exactly the same position as
the lion In the fable, and his peace talk is
nothing but policy, pure and simple

Race Troubles.
From New Orleans Times-Democrat (Dem)

Perhaps the troubles in North and South
Carolina may bring it TO the minds of
some of the Republican leaders that it is
a difficult and dangerous race problem
they are bringing on this country with
their proposed annexation of the Philip
pines and its Filipinos, Tagals, Negritoes
Dyaks, Malays and the numerous mixed
races of the islands. We have had nearly
three hundred years experience with the
negro, who speaks the same language as
we do and has lived side by side with us,
yet il requires but little to fan the flame
of trouble between the two races. A nice
problem of race war we viii have if the
Philippines are annexed and the natives
suggest that they ought TO have some
say In the government of the islands
