MARKET FOR RATTLEsNAKEs.
oae Husarea Men In Texas EuplsyeA
N Hunting the Reptiles Ter
. Factory.

The establishment of large factory
for the manufacture of snake oil in
Texas about a year ago has led to the
development of a new industry in this
part of the state. There are probably
100 men in southwest Texas VINO are
devoting their Who'll. time to snake
hunting. One of them, Capt. Mack
Arnold, seldom fails to capture from
five to ten rattlers each day he puts in
at the work, says the New York Sun.
The snakes bring 25 cents a pound
gross at the factory and each snake
weighs from four to six pounds. Be-
fore removing his camp to the vicinity
Of Austin Capt. Arnold and his Mexi.
can assistants spent three months in
Blanco county, where they had Won
derful success in capturing rattle
snakes. During that period they cap.
tured and shipped to the factory 1,54o
rattlesnakes. At one point on the
Blanco river Capt. Arnold found a den
of 81 rattlesnakes all of which he and
the Mexican succeeded in taking alive.
They would not have succeeded in do.

and the rattlers been in semi-coma.
tose state. The snakes are caught by
means of loop at the end of a stick.
Capt. Arnold says that rattlesnakes
have peculiar smell, which he can de-
tect at a distance of several yards,
and this fact is the principal reason
for his success in capturing them. He
has been bitten several times by rat
tiers, but has never suffered any harm
from the poison.
It is Capt. Arnold's opinion that the
snake-hunting business will afford
those who have nerve enough to en-.
gage in it good livelihood for many
years to come. There are hundreds of
thousands of acres of wild pasture
lands in southwest and west Texas
which are not fit for much else except
to grow rattlers on. The fact that q
market has been found for rattle.
snake oil will cause the demand for
rattlesnakes to keep up. Should a
scarcity of rattlers ever occur or the
ranches it is predicted that some en-.
terprising man will start farm for
the special purpose of raising the rep
tiles for the market.
Many thousands of live snakes are
received every month by the snake oil
factory. They arb sent in alive and
are kept in rough cages at the factory
and killed as needed. The flesh is
needed to make oil, while the skin is
tanned and manufactured into vari-
ETY. of small articles, including neck
ties for men.

WHEN THE BEES STING.
Simple Household Renedie. That Ar.
Helpful to Reduce Swelling
and Relieve Pain.

AS the sting of bee is considered
to be acid, an alkai should be en-
ployed to relieve it. Ammonia or
soft soap would therefore be good
application.
In an emergency any of the fol-
lowing might be helpful to reduce
swelling or to relieve pain: Vinegar,
olive oil, raw onion, paste made of
clay and water, or -four and water.
or salt and water, tobacco juice, tine.
ture of arnica, honey or laudanum.
If person be not exceedingly
nervous. and excitable, cold water
applied constantly to the wound will
be good remedy.
Bee stings are exceedingly danger
GUS to some people. A well known
gentleman was stung by q bee near
the base of the brain, and the poison
killed him in few minutes in spite
of heroic remedies.
A bee sting about the face is liable
to produce large swellings, and they
have been known to tester and
threaten blood poisoning in few
hours.
Little children are apt to wander
about in the weeds where bee gums
are located. 1t is well to keep in
mind these and other household rem.
'edies in such instances Of bee sting.

Ancient Rooklxeepin<.

The archaeological excavations
that have for some time now been
in progress at Delphos have lately
brought to light various Inscriptions
of great interest. These inscrip-
tions give complete illustration of
a perfect method of bookkeeping
that the ancients used, and which,
essentially differing from modern
inventions, is much more simple and
probably more accurate. The in
scriptions are carved on different
colored stones, white being used for
putting down receipts" while stone
of a gray-blue color were employed
for the expenses" Those discov-
cred were probably used by the
famous Temple of Delphos, and re-.
fer to expenses for marbles, which
appear to have been much dearer
then than now. Minute examina-
tions of the inscriptions have not
yet been completed.-Chicago Trib-

AN INDIAN REPUBLIC.
Mountains of Western North
Carolina.

In Woman's Home Companion Mr..
Landon Knight gives the following in
teresting account of a unique republic
in North Carolina:
Every one, of course, knows of the
little republics of Europe, but very
few realize that in the United States
there is country that is larger,
Marino, Gaust and Monico combined.
Those dominions are not, nor indeed
is the United States, more thoroughly
REPUBLICAN than this little country
pestling among the mountains of
western North Carolina.
There are legends and traditions
which may indicate that ages beyond
the ken of the historians vision, and
when the ancestors of the princes and
potentates of the world of to-day were
dwelling in caves like wild beasts and
were subsisting on shell-fish and
acorns, these people were the lords of
an ancient civilization. But, however
that may be, it is certain that these
people-the Cherokee Indians-were,
when first discovered by the white
man, the most civilized of any of the
aborigines on the North American
continent, with the exception of the
Aztecs and Toltecs of Mexico. Ogle-
thorpe and his colonists found them
1Hhabiting a agnificently beautiful
and fertile section of the country, en-
bracing what is now northern Geor-
gia, southern Tennessee and western
North Carolina. They received him as
a brother, and bade him take as much
of their lands as he and his people
might need. Writing of them to Wes-
ley, he said: cit is strange how used
they are in the ways of kindness and
civility; but most do marvel at their
government, which of truth is not
unlike our own in some particulars"
With truth he might have gone fur
Their and said that in many things
there were points of superiority in
their favor over the British. govern
ment of that day. For with them the
idea of a kingship and nobility with
their attendant privileges had never
found a lodgment, but their theory of
government was democratic, differing
only in form from other democracies,
and in fact relying for it's strength and
stability upon the consent of the gov
erned."

1t was midnight when the boy
closed his eyes in the darkness. His
improvised couch was restful and
soothing one. In q moment he was

very still and listened.

the confused murmurs of the men in

the door.
A sudden turn of the lantern threw
the strong rays on his white face.
There was an oath, sudden rush,
and then the heavy oak door slammed
shut with a crash and a sharp click.

"Guess they'll keep for awhile" he
dryly muttered. "And now for that

WHEN WASHINGTON swoRE.
Former Secretary Foster Tell. of the
First Presidents Anger at
the Senate.

In discussing the language used in
treaties between governments a CEN
fury or more ago, former Secretary
John w. Foster explained in lecture
to Yale students recently that treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain in 1888 began with these
words:
''In the name of the Most Holy Trim
ity."
"a curious thing about those that
signed that treaty on behalf of the
United States" Mr.. Foster said, "was
that only one of the three believed in
the Trinity. He was John Jay. OF the
other two John Quincy Adams was
Unitarian and Benjamin Franklin
WE'LL" added the speaker, "well, Frank
lin could hardly be called orthodox"
Mr.. Foster gave out story about
George Washington that was new to
nearly everyone in the audience. The
speaker was dwelling, upon the pre-
negatives of presidents Of this coun-
try, in the early days of the republic,
as the only treaty-making power.
The senate of the United States in
those days did not have so much to say
about treaty provisions. Washing
ton, who was then president, thought
he would have conference with the
senate about treaty then under con-
sideration.

would be nice to the senate, !" explained
Mr.. Foster. "and he met the senate
For two hours tn senator's, much to
Washington's great annoyance, piled
him with questions and cross-ques-

exasperated, retired from the senate.

said:

A PRETTY LEGEND.
IL Tells How the Goldenrod Was
Changed from Snow White
to Yellow.

According to Legendary lore the
goldenrod was once snow white. It is
said that great fields of these white
flowers nodded gracefully to and fro
as the winds swept over them, and
were quite happy until the wild flow
ers of brilliant hues began to ridicule
them.
what tame, pale, uninteresting
creatures!" said the tiger lilies.
Truly they are" said the scarlet
sage; they are not worth looking at. !"
Other wild flower neighbors made
like remarks, and cast scornful
chances at the white blossoms, until
the latter bowed their heads and wept.
1--WE are poor, colorless beggars,"
they walled, while all our neighbors
are clothed in gorgeous apparel"
The Autumn Wind knew why the
white flowers were grief-stricken, and
he resolved to help them. Calling to
him the many-hued fairies that live
in the rainbow he told them how the
white flowers had been ridiculed by
their neighbors.
"Leave it all to us" said the fairies,
land soon the ill-treated ones shall
have cause to rejoice"
Away sped the fairies to the end of
the rainbow, where, as you have heard,
there is great pot of magic gold dust.
Together the fairies lifted the gold
dust, fastened back to the field and
meadows and sprinkled it lavishly over
the dropping, heart-sick flowers, now
sunk in sound slumber.
When morning came the sun looked
down upon gorgeously arrayed army
of goldenrod, and so great was the
surprise of their wild-fower neigh
bors that some of them withered and
died from sheer envy.
But, rejoicing in their good fortune,
the goldenrods proudly held up their
heads and faithfully kept guard until
the icy Winter Wind. in hoarse voice,
babe them go to sleep.
