TArroo1Nc AND SNAKE BITES.

We're nothing new under the sun. While
scientific minds are discussing the anti
toxin serum treatment of disease as if
it were new thing, the people of an
Gent Burmah are calling attention to
the fact that for centuries the material
they have used in the common custom
of tattooing has been an efficient anti
toxin for snake bites. The tattooed
Burmese regard the bites of poisonous
snakes as harmless. This, at least, is
the statement of gentleman from Bur-
nah, who brings testimony to bear in

Scientists might well give this matter
their attention.-Leslie's Weekly.

Popularity Of franklin.

Benjamin FRANKLIN has received one
sort of monumental tribute to a de-
gree second only to that Of Washing.
ton. More towns and postoftices have
been named after him than after any
other man, even Washington himself,
although the bestowal Of the name
Washington on the capital Of the coun-
try t%ranscends, of course, any Of the
similar honors accorded to FRANKLIN.
Thirty-six places in the United States,
In as many states and territories, bear
the name Of Franklin simply. and "a
others bear James into which the word
enters in combination, such as Frank
linton, Fr%anklinville, Franklin Falls,
and 50 ON. AS against this there are
p Jacksons in the country, 30 Wash
ingtons and 25 Jeffersons.
T%hirty-One counties bear the name Of
Washington. "a the name Of Franklin,
% the name Of Jefferson and % the
name Of Jackson.
The naming Of the first town for
Franklin was regarded by him as a
great honor. This was In 177S, during
the Revolutionary war. The town Of
Wrentham, Mass, was divided, one
part of 1t taking the name Of the cele-
brated diplomatist and philosopher. In
recognition Of the honor, Franklin pre-
scented the new town with a bell for It's
church.--Youth's Companion.

An English paper gives a list OF
what it terms 1.-THE IA mistakes Of
life" While there are undoubtedly 9TH
err mistakes than those mentioned, the
list is a fairly comprehensive one.
1t is Il great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
Judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment of others by u own;
to expect uniformity Of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mold
all dispositions alike: to look for per-
lection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves and others with what can
not be remedied; not to yield in imma-
terial matters; not to alleviate all that
needs alienation as far as lies in u
power: not to make allowances for the
infirmities of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot per-
form: to believe only what our finite
minds can grasp; to expect to be able
to understand everything.
And the last and greatest mistake OF
all is t o live for time alone. when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

The Manila Pig,

One Of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the yer present pig; but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method Of tying the
pigs by the ears. They cut a small
hole through the pigs ear, one-half to
I'm inch in diameter. Through this
hole they Insert ii rope. with Il large
knot on one end. This rope securely
confines the pigs liberties about the
premises. The same sights are seen
often on the native boats and even on
the swell steam launches plying on
Manila bay. Transporting pigs through
the streets of Manila always attracts
a crowd, although the sight is com.
mon. The legs of the pig are tied to-
gether securely. and the pig is then
suspended on a long pole resting on
the shoulders of two native carriers.
The pig, with his legs up and head
down. makes about as much noise
while in transit as the pig under a
gate In Missouri and never fails to hold
the crowd.-Mnnila Freedom.

quently Distressed.

"The officers and sailors Of the navy
are frequent sufferers from seasick-
ness, even after they have got their
sea legs on" observed a naval surgeon
to a reporter. Indeed l think l can
safely say that, young and old, one
third of the entire navy officers as we'll
as men are seasick during storms as
well as at other times. In theory naval
officers and sailors are entirely free
from such SO called weakness, but, in
fact, they have stomachs and are suf-
ferers at times the same as the rest
of humanity.
"The sailor in this respect has many
advantages over the naval officers and
is less sensitive to seasickness for the
reason tnat he seldom has what is
called shore duty to perform. and he
is on the ship ill the time, barring
the days off now and then of liberty.
When an officer, it is entirely different,
for he seldom has to spend as much
time on the ship as he does on shore.
The three years sea duty are generally
followed by three years shore duty,
during which time his sea legs and
stomach entirely disappear and have
to be built up again.

to lei duty does not have to go

experiences of his first ~seasickness,
