REPTILES IN TEX AS.
Rattlers Are Still Numerous in the
Lone Star State.
One with Four Poison Fangs Recently
Found Near San AntOniO-Death
Does Not Always Result
from Their Bite,

Rattlesnakes are not as numerous
in Texas as they were years ago, says
a writer in Leslie's Weekly, and yet
they are sufficiently Gin evidence" at
this day in various parts of the Lone
Star state to add considerable spice
of danger to travelling by foot on the
plains and river bottoms. 1t is said
that the heavy rains of recent years
have apparently led to an increase in
the numbers of these serpents, es-
pecially in eastern Texas. The fact
that the rattlesnalle has a market
value is doubtless one reason why the
tribe has declined somewhat. Thou
sands of them are killed every year
for their skins and oil. One firm in
San Antonio sold over 1000 rattle
snakes last year. They are bought
either dead or alive.
The head of the RATHER shown in the
illustration was taken near San An
tonic by DR.. Rudolph Menger, a prom
inent physician of that city. This
snake had four poison fangs and was
considered rare specimen.
Apropos of this subject of rattle
snakes, the remarkable statement
may be quoted, recently made by Prof.
Edmund J. James, of the University
of Chicago, to the effect that death
from rattlesnake bite is great rarity.
He has been working for 20 years, he
says, to obtain a well-authenticated
case of death from such a cause.
Many stories Of people dying from
rattlesnalle poison had been found:
upon investigation, to be without foun-
dation. One genuine case discovered
recently in Georgia was considered by
Prof. James sufficiently remarkable to
warrant him in obtaining a sworn aft
davit to the fact from the attending
physician. The case was that Of man.

DESIGNED BY GRANT.
Vehicle That Is a Combination of
Carriage and Tally-Ho.

ProceSsiOn-HaS Not Been Used
Since the General Left
Washington, ID. C.

The quaint, handsomely built We
hicle known as the Grant carriage"
which President Grant designed, and
IN which he frequently rode with his
wife and members of his cabinet,
may form part of the inaugural
procession on March 4 next.
1t is a remarkable combination of
carriage, tally-ho and park wagon,
that is called 1.-THE Grant carria }"
and it forms an interesting contra st
to the shining automobile, with it's
pneumatic tires, which President Nc
kinley is able to order when he
wishes TO ride about the streets of
the national capital.
Gen. Grant was great lover of
equines and admired fine equipages.
He WAS fond of driving fast horses
attached to his light-running buggy.
When Gen. Grant became president,
be found the white house carriage a
rather worn and old-fashioned affair,
and he designed a family conveyance
which was most unique. Carriage
dealers declare that they have never
seen another vehicle which resembles
it. 1t was built of the best material
obtainable. and by the most skillful
wheelwrights in New York city in
1870. Grant paid $1,000 for it.
1t was handsome piece of work
mar.ship and was greatly admired.
The carriage was originally painted
black, with fine red stripes, and
vanished until it shone like mir
ror. The cushions we're made of fine
curled hair and navy blue broad
cloth. which also lined the inside of
the box. and the polished leather top
over the rear seat. 1t had silver
trimmings and silver side lamp
upon either side of the box.
The vehicle is what is known as a
platform gear, and has a very high
box, a portion of the sides of which
is made Of finely woven canework.

known in the south as the "diamond
rattler.' The man died from paral
ysis of the heart, caused by the bite,
after lingering in great agony for IS
hours.
Referring to Poi. James statement,
DR.. Menger says that his own expe-
rience and that of many of his profess
sional associates in Texas indicate
that death from rattlesnake bite is
not SO rare thing as the Chicago pro-
fessor would have the world believe
"Rattlesnakes," says DR.. Menger,
care not in all instances deadly, de-
pending upon the parts injured, the
amount OF poison injected, susceptible
ity, etc. Often the snakes tooth
breaks off in striking, or it penetrates
thick clothing, the boot or shoe, etc.,
before the fang reaches the flesh, and
in these cases only painful and super
fetal wounds are inflicted, with, per-
haps, only slight symptoms of the poi
son. When, though, the poison fang
strikes a vital part, especially blood
vessels, the poisoning symptoms are
at once alarming, and in most of these
instances death generally occurs.
Fright during the sudden meeting of
rattlesnake, with a blood-curdling
hiss of it's rattles, and the consequent
shock upon the nervous system, espe-
cially the heart centers, undoubtedly
has also produced sudden DEATH
DR.. Menger adds that during his own
experience as city health officer Of
San Antonio, and in his own private
practice, he had known of no less than
six deaths from rattlesnake poison.
In one instance a farmer at Medina,
some rs miles west of San Antonio,
in blowing his field came across rat
tier, his plow, which severed the snake
in two parts, leaving only about six
inches of the creatures neck and head.
The farmer thought the snake dead,
and went on blowing. In turning back
from the opposite end to the place
where the pillow had run over the rep
tile he noticed something like a stick
or branch Of a tree among the weeds,
and, in the act of picking it up, he I'M
fortunately seized the severed snakes
neck. With a sudden strike the rat
tier plunged it's fangs into the farmers
hand, and before five hours passed the
man was dead.

As a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man. Nearly one-third Of
the people of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of it's
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
Their fact that it is capable of producing
a great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of this
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh a spe--
cialty. OF course a great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
yet a comparatively small number of
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.

THE GRANT CARRIAGE
Ut Nay Form Part of the Coming Inau-
gural Procession.)

1t has abundant room for four per-
sons besides the driver, although two
or three more can conveniently ride
in it. There is a large compartment
in the box designed for storing re-
freshments upon a long journey, an
idea CT Gen. Grant which is not cas-
ily accounted for.
When Gen. Grant left the presi-
dents chair and Washington, says
the St. Louis Republic, he stored the
vehicle and never rode in it AFTER
wards. There it remained until aft
er his death and his affairs were set
tied. Then it was sold at public auc-
ton to S. J. Meers' Sons, who are the
present owners.
A western wagon works company
has offered them a large sum for the
vehicle to preserve as a relic and
place upon exhibition, together with
the carriage which Gen. Lafayette
owned when he was in this country,
and the conveyance which Gen. An
drew Jackson rode in while he was
president. both of which they own
Messrs. Meers have, however, refused
to consider the sum offered.
The carriage is still strong and
would wear for many years yet. The
wheels, the axles, the springs, and,
in fact, the box are all in good con-
dition, and if retrimmed and painted
it could yet be made very serviceable.
Upon the streets, however, it would
attract marked attention, because of
its peculiar design. In the inaugural
parade it would create a sensation.
It is much heavier than the average
carriage, weighing about 1000
pounds. The carriage has not been
in use for many years, and has never
been regularly driven since Gen.

remedy, Peruna, comes as great boon.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is within the
reach of every person in this land.
Peruna can be bought ut any drug store,
and is a remedy without equal for
catarrh in all forms, coughs, colds, bron-
chitis, consumption, and all climatic
diseases OF winter.
Peruna is not guess, nor an expert
ment; it is an absolute, scientific GER
tainty. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located. Peruna has no substitutes
no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
Let no one persuade you that some 9TH
er remedy will do nearly as well. There
is no other systemic remedy for catarrh
but Peruna.
