CACTI IN A BOTTLE.
Will Grow Without Air or Water and
Flourish for Years.

A new method of growing cacti has
been discovered in the botanical gard
ems of Berlin. 1t is so simple and
easy that no one need be without at
least one fine cactus in the sitting-room
or parlor. All that is required is a
shapely bottle, little rich earth and
few cactus seeds that can be bought
of any florist for few cents. Bottles
in which creme de menthe or some of
the other cordials usually come are
well adapted to this purpose on ac-
count of the clearness of the glass and
the grace of their shape. Having Sc
cured the bottle, cleanse it thoroughly
and then put earth in it until the bot
tom is covered to height of about an
inch. Sprinkle this earth we'll, almost
soaking wet, and then throw in three
or four cactus seeds. Close the bottle
sungly with a tight-fitting cork and
seal it close with sealing wax Tie "a
strong cord around the neck of the
bottle and hang it in a window that
the sun reaches for at least several
hours every day.
In cold weather the bottle must not
be exposed to the air. The living-room
with constant temperature of 20 de-
grees or more, suits the experiment
admirably. Then the entire process of
growth can be watched with no small
interest. The opening and roofing of
the seeds and the gradual development
of the plants will follow almost as if
by magic. Soon the cacti will be of
such size that you can astonish your
friends by sight of them, and they viii.
hardly believe you when you tell them
that these plants are growing without
any care or water.-Pittsburg Dispatch

they drink than by the snake poison.
II is common notion that it Is i'm
possible for person to get drunk who
has been bitten by snake. Acting on
that theory, pint, and in some cases
quart, of whisky has been given as
an antidote. DIR. Kelly says that the
whisky is poison. and taken in such
quantities would produce death any
way without the snake bite.
That the imagination can have no Sc
rious effect upon persons bitten nv
snakes is DR.. Kelly's opinion. Al
though fright may ensue, he saws this
could not in itself cause deleterious
effects unless the snake venom actually
gets into the system of the bitten per-
son.
One result of DR.. Kelly's snake bite
will be the killing of all his poisonous
snakes. They will be photographed
today and then carefully killed and
their bodies preserved in alcohol.
Dr. Kelly takes this measure for fear
of danger to some member of his FAM
lily in his home. where he keeps the
snakes in boxes. His harmless snakes
will be kept alive as pets, but when he
wants to make further study of the
poisonous varieties he will secure a
new supply, probably next summer
when his children are not in the house
to run into danger.

DIR. KELLY'S SNAKE BITE.
He is Not a Believer in Whisky as an
Antidotc.

DR.. Howard A. Kelly of the Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, who was
bitten by rattlesnake Monday night
while showing some of his poisonous
pets to the Johns Hopkins medical So
ciety, suffered no inconvenience or bad
results from the wound yesterday. Tie
is convinced that none of the snakes
venom entered his system
The doctor was attending to his pro-
fessional duties yesterday as If moth
ing unusual had happened to him, and
answered with laugh when some of
his inquiring friends were anxious
about his snake bite. The RATHER,
which was large-sized one of the
diamond-black variety, punctured DR..
Kelly's third Gnger on his right hand
with its fang. There was no doubt
that the fang made a deep puncture,
but there was no evidence of redness
about the wound after 1t had struck.
The act of biting is accomplished in
two movements by the snake; first, the
striking, by which the fang is inserted
into the flesh, and a second movement
which congresses the poison sac and
elects the venom. DR.. Kelly says he
felt no more pain than if he had been
pricked with good-sized pin. Real
izing instantly what IL meant, he drew
away his hand. He is naturally quick
of movement, and in addition says he
is always looking out for such acct
dents while handling his snakes.
Another thing in DR.. Kelly's favor
was the fact that his snake had struck
at him while he was putting II in a
bag at his home to take it to the hos
pital for the demonstration. II has
been found by experiments that a
poisonous snake will empty its venom
sac when it strikes, and that it re-
quires considerable time for the poison
to be secreted and the sac to be again
filed. Repeated bites are found to be
successfully less and less poisonous. II
Is possible that this snake expended
all its poison when 1t first struck at DR..
Kelly, so that its bite lacked virulence
when it was finally inflicted.
DIR. Kelly took no precautions after
being bitten other than to evacuate
the wound by sucking and by squeez-
ing 1t. He took no antidote or counter
poison. The doctor has positive ideas
about the use of whisky as an antidote
for snake poison. He says that he Is
firmly convinced that more persons
who die after being bitten by poison
GUS snakes are killed by the whisky

and shrug of the shoulders These are
concomitants of the Italian and Span

Swede are also facile of speech, while
the German contents himself with an
occasional wave of the hand and
wrinkling about the eye. None of
these characteristics are found when
the boer delivers himself of a thought.

FOUND A LOST PATROL WAGON.
Small Boy Makes it Means OF Perse.
cution for the Cop"

Policeman Patrick Sweeney marched
along that part of Seventh avenue near
Forty-eighth street which the police
regulations describe as his post" al
peace with himself and all the OBJ
sequious citizens who, in that dis
trict, recognize the justice of his rule.
He was in the middle of an estimate of
the days that must go before he is to
be roundsman, and was well con-
WINGED that the time was pretty near
at hand. just then small boy ran up
to him and, salutlng with mock grav-
ity, called out:
Say, dere's patrol Vaughn in
Forty-ate street wot is lost. De folks
is goin' to smash it up If youse cops
don't perfect yer property" Sweeney
made a swing at the small boy for his
audacity, thinking he was trying to
have some fun with him.
But the boy would not go. and in
sisted that an abandoned patrol wagon
was in Forty-eighth street and in dan
ger of destruction by the people, whose
regard for that emblem of law and or
der is none too great
Sweeney decided to follow the lad.
Turning into Forty-eighth street he
saw crowd of possibly twenty men
and women in the street, all talking
and gesticulating. But there was no
evidence of patrol wagon. Sweeney
had gone too far to back out. how
ever, and he marched boldly up to the
crowd.
Move on, youse!" he commanded.
What are youse doln' here?"
The crowd fell back with a murmur,
and Sweeney then got his first view of
the object of their interest. In the
center of the street he found a small
boys wagon, about large enough for
one to ride in. 1t had yellow body
and blue box, while in big gilt letters
on both sides were the words, Police
Patrol"
Sweeney got red, and the crowd
laughed.
who owns this thing?" he de-
manded. But no one would claim title
to it. 1t was evidently lost property
and under the regulations Sweeney
had TO take II to the station.
1t was too big to carry, so Sweeney
took hold of the little wagon pole and
started down the street, the wagon
rafting at his heels. A score of men
and small boys followed. giving advice.
IVY don't youse ride?" one asked.
Wares yer prizner?" another
funny person demanded. And until
the wagon reached the station the vol
ley of attempted jokes and an oc-
casional expression of contempt for
the police on general principles were
kept up.
An alarm for the owner of the lost
toy was sent out.-New York Tribune.

tos are largely endowed physically.
says Ramon Reyes Lala, a native OF
the Philippines, They can run like a
deer and climb like monkeys. In fact,
they approximate the monkeys in one
respect. since they have great powers
of movement and of grasping in the
great toe, being able to pick up minute
objects with their feet When on
board ship they are as nimble as
monkeys, and can descend the rigging
head foremost, holding on by the toes
alone. Some Negritos are employed as
servants by the Filipinos. Most OF
them, however, dwell in their forest
retreats, where they live mainly by
hunting, though they also eat the wild
fruits of the forest, the roots of the
arum, the honey of the wild bees and
other woodland products. Their
weapons are simple but effective. They
consist of bamboo lance, a bow of
palmwood and culver of poisoned ar
rows, II is an interesting fact that
the art OF poisoning arrows is common
TO the pigmy races, wherever found.
The African dwarfs use arrows,

grltos have another way of getting
food. not agreeable to the natives of
the open country. They will swoop
down upon the valley, steal covertly
round a herd of browsing cattle and
drive them off to their strongholds in
| the hills.
The Negritos-or Aetas, as the Span
iards call them-live in the simplest
and most primitive fashion. They
wander to and fro, about so families

few sloping poles covered with leaves.
Sometimes they build rude huts raised
on bamboo poles, in the Malay fashion.
They have pretense of farming,
scratching the ground with a stick and
throwing In handful of seed; but
they seldom remain in one place long

ABOUT JAPANESE WRESrLERS.
Physical Development is Something
Truly Remarkable.

Although the American is willing to
concede to the Japanese the possession
of mental capacity almost, if not
quite, equaling that of the majority of
the white races, he is apt to form a
somewhat sighting opinion of him as
viewed from physical standpoint. Tbs
specimens met with in this country do
not tend to convey a favorable impre s.
sion of their athletic powers. After,
however, reading an account of the
physical measurements of some of the
most prominent Japanese wrestlers. a
most respectful attitude regarding the
muscular development of these little
men will probably be taken. The Jill
Shimpo has recently published a table
giving the measurements of six of the
foremost Japanese fighters. From this
table it is gathered that the most bulky
of these modern gladiators weighs at
the age of 22years about 300 pounds:
height, 5 feet inches; girth of chest.
IS inches; lung capacity, 4,45O cubic
centimeters; upper arms, Is inches.
Another one weighs over $50 pounds;
height, 6 feet 5 inches; girth of chest.
As inches; lung capacity, 5000 cubic
centimeters; upper arm, Is inches
The smallest of these fighting men
men weight more than 200 pounds,
measures in height feet 7 inches,
while in lung capacity he exceeds them
all. There are few wrestlers or pugiI-
lists in this or any country who attain
these dimensions. and those who have
seen some of the best exponents of
Japanese wrestling are willing to back
them when pitted against the pick of
the European or American experts, as
it is said they are as skillful as they
are powerful.-Medical Record.

QUARREL OVER WEDDING GOWN.
1t Cost the Bride Her Intended Hus-
band, But Married His Brother. !,

NJ
The historical and genealogical So
cieties often bring to light interesting
family tales and traditions. In a pa
per read before local society a New
England woman recently related an
amusing anecdote of spirited ances-
tress of revolutionary days.
The damsel Abigail by name was
loved by twin brothers, Asaph and
Ashel, but only Asaph had had the
courage to propose marriage. AL
though the girl had been suspected OF
an inclination for the shyer brother,
she accepted the more venturesome
Asaph, perhaps partly through pique.
The wedding day was set, but then a
difficulty arose. She was an ardent
patriot, he rather lukewarm one.
1t was during the very darkest days OF
the war, and it did not appear to her
fitting that the marriage should be
celebrated with much expedition or
display. All the money that could be
spared was wanted to help the cause,
while as to the wedding dress she
would not have dreamed OF imported
finery. even If she could have afforded
IL. She vowed she would be married
in homespun or not at all.
Asaphs ideas were different. He
was not willing to dispense with either
feasting or fine clothes, but desired to
make the wedding a grand occasion.
A quarrel ensued, which ended by his
declaring obstinately that wife
should submit to the authority of her
husband and that he should expect
his bride to stand up before the par
son in a silk gown and nothing less.
"A bride, sir, is not yet a wife, was
the girls reply, and upon that they
parted.
1t was but few days before the
wedding. During the interval Abb
gail refused to see her lover, sending
word that she was busy with the prep
aration of her wedding outfit. This
Asaph complaeently accepted as evil
dence of submission to his will. The
silk dress was no doubt in hurried pro-
cess of preparation, he thought.
The day arrived and the hour OF the
ceremony, but to the groom's anger
and confusion his bride appeared be-
fore the assembled company in plain
cotton gown. kitchen apron, her
sleeves rolled up and her hands floury
from the kneading trough.
viii you take me as amp" she
asked, with curtsy.
"Never," shouted the groom, and
left the house. Not in the least dis
concerted, the fair Abigail smiled in
willingly at Ashel. who, plucking up his
courage, stepped without word into
the place vacated by his brother and
they were married there ana then.
Moreover, they lived happily ever
after" quite in fairy tale style, despite
the dubious promise afforded by the
lady's temper. Asaph remained a
bachelor till his death.--Youth's Com
panion.
