HOXBAR NOTES.
)ecial Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Hoxbar, I. T., April 30.-Perhaps
a few lines from our little village
willsbe acceptable. While we cannot
boast of any great enterprises such
as prospective railroads, cotton fac
tories and packing houses, we do
claim to be equal to our neighboring
towns in morality and sociability.
AS to our educational interest, we
can equal any town in the Indian
Territory that does not surpass us in
population.
Hoxbar can safely say she will
have an eight months school this
year, which is doing nicely under
the management of Prof. B. R..
Gober, the present enrolment num-
bering forty.
AS to farming, our farmers are a
progressive, wake, energetic
class of men who keep up with the
modern improvements of implements
and machinery, supplying himself as
he deems it necessary to facilitate
his progress and curtail his expenses.
The crop prospect is very favor
able in this section.
The heavy rains have checked the
work for the present. The heavy
down pour of Friday night did some
damage in our town.
Our Sunday school is largely at
tended, there being quite an interest
taken by all, especially the children
The musical entertainment at w
E. Landrum's last night was a sue
cess and all enjoyed it splendidly.

A Straight Line.

On railroad map does not always
imply that there are no curves of
beauty or deviations in the exact
course of the road itself.
For over sixteen years. the Chicago,
Milwaukee 4 st. Paul Railway Co., has
operated a first-class passenger route
between Omaha and Chicago, which
runs in almost straight line due east
from Omaha to Chicago through Cen
trial Iowa and Northern Illinois, and
is familiarity known as the Chicago &
Omaho Short Line because it is the
Short Line between the two cities. A
large portion of the route has a double
track, is perfectly ballasted, level and
smooth, and its trains can run as fast
and as safely as conditions may require
Its train service is unequalled any
where in the East. Its sleeping cars
and Buffet-Library cars are models of
beauty and comfort Electric berth
reading lamps in every section in its
sleeping cars serve to make these trains
particularly attractive to business men
and tourists, and especially so to ladies
travelling alone. The dining car SER

KAFFIR'S ANTIDOTE.
which Made serpent's Venom Harmless

which Made Serpents Venom Harmless
A road party, comprising the usual
gang of from fifty to sixty Kaffirs, was
employed, says a writer in the London
Spectator. on the construction of a
road in the Tuegla valley, Natal, about
thirty or more years ago. In the
course of their work they came upon
a huge stone which 1t was necessary to
remove, but beneath 1t was the homo
of large black mamba, well knowa
to the neigh boring inhabitants as being
old and, therefore, very venomovs.
The mamba is the most deadly of the
south African snakes, and the SUPER
intendent anticipated some trouble
over that rock. He offered bride for
the snakes skin, and the gang
"wow'd!" and sat down to "bema
gwi" (take snuff. But a slim youth
sauntered forward and, amid the jeers
and protestations of the rest, declarea
himself equal to the task. He took
from his neck what looked like bit
OF shriveled stick, chewed 1t, swal-
lowed some OF It, spat out the rest on
his hands and proceeded to rub bis
glistening brown body and limbs all
over. Then taking up his stick ans
chanting a song Of defiance he adj
yanced with great confidence and
swagger to The bowlder. There he
reused ap the mamba, which, in great
fury at being disturbed, bit him In the
lip. The boy took no notice OF the
bite. but broke the snakes back with
his stick an0, bringing 1t to his master,
asked for his reward, obtaining which
he went back to his work. and the
bite of the reptile had no effect upon
him whatever. No bride, not even
that of a COW DIETER than any gold in
the eyes of Kafiirl would induce tho
native to disclose the secret Of his an
tidote, which, he said, had been ha9deIl
down in his family for generations
The snake was a very long one, and 50
old that Il had a name. 1t is weH-

The Foot-Path to Peace.

To be glad OF life, because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the stars;
to be satisfied with your possessions,
but not contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them; to
despise nothing in the world except
falsehood and meanness, and to fear
nothing except eowardiee; to be gov
erned up by your admirations rather
than by your disgusts; to eoyet moth
ing that is your neighbours except his
kindness of heart and gentleness of
manners; to think seldom of your en-
emies, often of your friends. and every
day of Christ and to spend as much
time as you can, with body and with
spirit, in Gods out-of-doors-thes are
little guide-posts on the footpath to
peace. Henry Van Dyke

Most Excellent Service.

Such is the universal comment of ex-
perienced travellers after making trip
over the Great Overland Route" the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t excels in
completeness of equipment, condition
of track and speed of trains, all of
which make travel a continual source
Of comfort and pleasure. All principal
points east are reached many hours
earlier than via other lines, and con-
sequently at less expense. Therefore,
when you decide to go east you should
use this popular line, and for further
information communicate with II. NJ.

CHAPTER xxx.


We felt very much the want or fire.
arms. The air seemed alive with birds
the woods with game of several
kinds; and now an old musket with
few charges of powder would have
proved more useful to us than the
treasure OF the Bank of England.
Hislop recovered strength rapidly.
and his convalescence inspired our lit
tie band Of castaways with new conf
dence and vigor, as they had implicit
reliance in his superior knowledge and
intelligence.
We were never idle; for, unarmed
as we were, the task of procuring food
for our general store was by no means
sinecure to those who undertook it
Tom Lambourne and John Burnett,
the cook, first brought us valuable
contribution in the shape Of a great
sealion, which was furnished with a
rough and shaggy name, that added
greatly to its terrible aspect, for 1t was
an unwieldly brute, as large as a
small-sized cow
They had fallen in with 1t when 1t
lay basking on the beach. Burnet
courageously attacked it with one Of
the stretchers of the longboat, and
dealt it a severe stroke on the head.
The animal uttered a hoarse grunt
and turned upon him open mouthed,
when he thrust the staff down its
throat and held it there till Lam
bourne hewed off the head with his
Ratchet.
One or two others were afterward
dispatched in the same way; but we
had to lie long in wait, and could not
catch them only by cutting off their
retreat to the water.
Their hearts and tongues were con-
sidered the best food by the sailors,
who broiled them over a fire which
we kindled by striking two stones to-
gether, and letting the sparks fall upon
heap of dry leaves; and to the dis
covery of these impromptu flints we
were indebted to Ned Carlton.
AS for salt, I found plenty Of 1t,
baked in the crevices of the rocks up
on the beach, where the spray had
been dried by the hot sunshine.

DIRT PASSES FOR BUTTER.
In Many Places of This Globe wher
Primitive People Dwell.

Primitive People Dwell.
Eating earth is practiced all over the
world to a certain extent and is not
confined to the clay-eating Indians OF
the far west. In some parts of the
mountains of Germany the natives eat
a certain kind of clay spread on their
bread, calling it "stein butter" stone
butter. In upper Italy and Sardinia
kind of clay is offered in the markets
for sale as food. In Northern Sweden
and the peninsula of Kola a kind of
earth called bergmerl, mountain flour,
is baked with the bread. IN Persia, too,
large quantities of clay are eaten. The
natives of Africa are great clay eaters,
especially the Botocudos of the OrIno-
co river. In Nubia q certain kind OF
earth is eaten as medicine, and on
the island of Timor the eating of earth
is connected with the religious cere-
monies. The cause of this widespread
custom, according to Doctor Lasch a
German scientist who has just been in
vestigating the matter, is that the clay
contains a certain amount of salt.
which tastes good to these primitive
people. The consequence of habitual
earth-eating is great distention of
the stomach, an increase in the lean
ness of the eaters. and dlstention OF
the liver. When a child of civilized par
cnts shows disposition to eat earth
or slate pencils, as is often the case,
there is physical cause for 1t, and the
case should be brought to the attention
