NOVEL CURE FOR SNAKE-BlTE.
Mosquitoes save a Mans Life by
Drawing Out the Poison of
Rather.

"ralkin' about rattlesnakes," said
an Erie railroad brakeman, according
TO the New York sun, did you ever
hear how the mosquitoes saved a
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
Pennsylvania, last summer?
"Well, while getting out railroad
ties over back of Summit, Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by rat
tlesnake. A doctor was at once sent
for and the leg was bandaged tightly
above the wound. 1t was expected
that Morehouse would die before the
doctor could come up there on his
wheel. but he didn't. Just as soon
as the leg was barred to put on the
bandage, il was attacked by a swarm
of mosquitoes, and when the doctor
arrived he found the man as well AS
ever and lively as cricket, but the
ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from Warehouses wound
and saved his life. This was hard ON
the mosquitoes, but presume More
houses life was worth saving"

about, on the prune trees especially,

In August last the Union elected
entirely new officers, who speedily
set to work, assisted by the old ones
and members in general, but owing
to sickness among several members,
no topical calendar was printed this
year. A committee was appointed to
form a plan of work, and 1t resolved to
open every open door. The first OPP
portunity was for Sunday school
rally. The Pastors Union thought
best not to give up the regular ser
vices, but suggested that we have the
rally on National Temperance Sunday
at p. IN. in the NJ. Il. church. This
gave only two weeks for preparation,
but two women with willing minds
though weary feet, made all arrange
ments, the other members and pastors
most Loyalty lending their aid in the
program. Seven schools were repre-
sented, and also the Salvation Army
Juniors. The church was filled to
oyerhowing, goodwill prevailed, and
u liberal collection remained to cheer
the workers. The collection taken
at the Union Thanksgiving services
was divided between the W. X. @. and
the W. @. Y, U. The Union appoint
ed committee for charity who used
this fund as nucleus for much need

soliciting on the outside, On Jan

DR.. David Day, United States min
eralogist, accompanied by his wife and
another lady, whose name we did not
learn, was in Del Norte county last
week. Mr., Day was investigating the
platinum deposits along Smith River
and was more than pleased with the
prospect. His attention was called to
the platinum deposits of this section
by new metal found in concentraters
sent from Crescent City to head-quar-
ters
The strange metal has not yet been
named nor will it be until DR.. Day
has made thorough investi cation.
His findings here will be made public
through the New York Scientific Press.
In addition to his investigation here,
he made known to the platinum mi
ners ON the river that he would handle
all their concentrates, ascertain what
they contained, and find market for
the same without charges to the mi
ners. This new development will evil
