The first cotton of any

Something like seventy-five bales were
sold at from S1a to s Slice. The quality
averaged close to good middling.
Farmers say that the cotton in the
field is opening p~rematurely, and that
the crop will be nothing like what was
expected. 1t will be better than last
years but is very far from coming up

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1902-09-11

The African cobra is regarded some
what reverently by the natives of that
country, who once year kill cobra
de capello and hang it's skin to the
branch of a tree, tail downward. Then
all the children born during the last
year are brought out and made to
touch the skin. This the parents think
puts them under the serpent's protec-
ton. The cobra de capello divides with
the horned viper of Africa the ques-
tionable honor of being the worm of
the Nile" to whose venomous tooth
Cleopatra's death was due.
The Kaffirs use the venom Of this
snakes cousin, the puff adder, to poi
son their arrows, and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
it, having theory that it will protect
them from the bad effects Of future
bites. The Snake tribe of the Punjab
say that the bites of snakes do not hurt
them. and if they find dead serpent
they dress it in clothes and give it a
superb funeral.

TRIUMPH FOR DIPLOMACY.
AngIo-Chinese Treaty Considered an
Important Achievement.

New York, Sept. 10-The Anglo
Chinese treaty is hailed as signal
triumph for British diplomacy and Sir
James Mackay's achievement in per-
suading the Chinese government to
strike off the heaviest letters that
have hitherto impeded foreign COM
merce with the Celestial empire is
lauded to the skies, says London dis
patch to the Tribune. 1t is fully rec
ognized, however, that the abolition of
the likin cannot become an accom-
plished fact without the concurrence
of all the powers. Russia has not yet
disclosed her hand. Her commercial
interests in China are considerable
and she may object to any arrange
ment which would be principally for
the benefit of England. Certainly,
whatever Russia does will be duly sup
ported by France. On the other hand
the advantage to all nations of having
important commercial relations with
China is manifest and no opposition is
anticipated from America or Germany.
1t is hoped that Russia and France will
consider the treaty on its merits and
not allow economic reform to be
blocked by any of the difficulties and
jealousies which are only too apt to
make the European concert inharmo
NOUS and ineffective. But even assum-
ing that al the powers approve Sir
James Mackay's agreement the task
of carrying it out cannot fail to be one
of immense difficulty.
