Astronomers have arranged program of
simultaneous observations of Eros at sta

of the month it will be too close to the sun
to be visible.
Venus is splendid morning star, rising

Treatment for Snake Bites.
. F. Rightmfre In Forest and Stream.


Having spent over year among the ma
tive hunters and farmers of the most prim-
tive mountain region of southwestern Ar
kansas where the number of poisonous
snakes was uncountable, including the cop
perhead, mountain or timber rattlesnake
and rock or damond-back rattlesnake,
upon the uplands or mountains, and the
bottoms along the streams are plentifully
supplied with cottonmouths water mecca
sins and various kinds Of adders. it follows
as an axiom that many persons are often
bitten by snake, and the native simple
way Of trea ting it learned in this way:
One Of the natives and I were hunting
mineral outcrops on the Bears Tusk noun
tain in June, 1885, when we came upon
huckleberry patch and began gathering and
eating the ripe berries. My guide cautioned
me to be on the lookout for snakes, say
ing: Them cussed varmints hide under the
huckleberry bushes to ketch the birds
when they come to feed on the berries"
and was very careful, but he was not for
1 soon heard a sharp cry from him, and
on looking at him saw him throw his left
hand and arm in the air and snake OH
and throw to some distance a diamond
back which had struck him midway Of his
left forefnger. While 1 was scared as bad
ly as If had myself been bitten the hunter
drew his knife and made two quick cuts on
the finger SO that it bleed freely and began
stripping his finger to force the blood out
of the cuts. He then took a piece of COM
iHOH cluIl out u Ills poChel anu w oil q
piece as large as a large-sized chestnut
and chewed it up and swallowed 1t, and
then he bit off and chewed fine another
piece of alum, which he placed upon his
cut finger and tied up with piece of rag
torn from the bottom of his homespun cot
ton shirt. and then he hunted up and killed
the snake and again began gathering and
eating berries, to my surprise.
In answer to my question as to the need
of going to town to consult doctor, he
said: 1.-The blood runnn' from the cuts
| took out all the pizen, but if 1t didn't all
get out, the alum will fix it, but them
| cuts will give me a sore finger for day or
| two" The result was no swelling of even
| the finger, and he said that if a man would
| always cut through the bite and let the
| blood out and take alum there was no
| danger from the bite of any snake.

WiIIie's Lesson of Love.
1. K. Kiser in Chicago Times-Herald.

Last summer Tommie Jones and me
Were climbin' all around
And found birds nest in tree
Away above the ground.
We took the little hing away
With all the eggs inside;
And oh! the words ma had to say
Just sat down and cried!
"You wicked, naughty boy" she said,
ITO pain the birdie so!
OH He that WI che5 overhead
viii punish you, l know!
1t is a sin to take the nest
And rob the bird of joy.
Now promise God you'll do your best
To be- a better boy!'s
So wheis l said my prayers that night
/ promised God I'd do
The best l could to make 1t right,
As ma had told me TO.
I carried crumbs every day
And left them at the tree
And tried to get the bird to stay
And make 1t up with me.
She flew away last fall, and that
Was all l seen or heard
About her till they brought mas hat
Home yesterday! That bird
Was there as fine as life, stuck through
With wires you couldn't see,
To make her look as though she'd flew
Down from the nearest tree.
If God hates Tommie Jones and me,
AS ma let on that day,
I'd kind Of like to know what He
Above us has to say
About the one that went and shot
The little bird like that,
And also Of the one that's got
1t fastened on her hat?
