Stories of Snake Bites.

An English traveller just returned
from India says that the stories about
the great number of deaths from
snake bites in India are to a great
extent unreliable as statistics when
carefully analysed. He accounts,
moreover, for these extreme exaggera-
tons in figures on very plausible
grounds. In India, he says, the law
requires that when there Is a sudden
death a detailed report Of it must be
made to the civil surgeons, and as
there are many such deaths far from
the civic Offices where the report
should be made, the under officers pei.
fern their duty with the least possible
trouble. To save the annoyance of
transporting dead bodies, or vital or
gans, and the loss of time in getting
evidence On the facts of the cases
which may be plain murders, by poi
son or Otherwise report of death
by SNAKE bite" is made. This sort
of report is very convenient and
makes interesting statistics.

Bees and rheumatism.

Our contemporaries seem to be
elated over the bee cure for rheuma-
tism and devote considerable space to
this stringent remedy. For ourselves,
wo can see no reason for rejoicing.
We have been set upon by a hive full
Of bees and we have been rendered
helpless by a rheumatic onslaught. OF
the two evils it's a toss Of the penny
which. Is the "wusser." The bees
make up for the short duration Of
their infection by the pungency of the
pain; rheumatism isn't quite SO Sc
we're as numerous bee stings, but it
detains one from business more than
q day and makes one feel like a walk
ing barometer, twenty years older In
damp weather. One thing is certain,
however, an aggressive, able-bodied,
active bee can make itself SO bust
ness-like that the rheumatic not only
forgets his rheumatism, but every
other ill that flesh Is heir to.-Centre-
vile (Md.) Observer.

THE MAN.
You Can Never Be Sure of What His
Next Break Will Be.


The great virtue about the really
clumsy man is that he never exhausts
his capabilities. When you think
that the bedrock is reached, there is
still a lower depth. If a detrimental
relative should exist, the clumsy man
asks after his health with great par
ticularity and will not be satisfied Il
til he receives a full and detailed re-
ply. Should there be any incident
in your past which everybody has
generously agreed to forget it is the
clumsy man who seizes the one, the
inevitable opportunity, when the club
is at it's fullest, and says loudly:
Somebody was talking the other day
about that unfortunate little affair
of yours in '95. Now tell mel"
When on meeting him you say casu-
ally and with no desire for informa-
ton, How are you?" he insists upon
giving you a complete data, and he is
as full of small complaints as a re-
fractory pauper. 1t is only fair to add
that he will ask affectionately after
the colds of yesteryear, and his fav-
orite locale for this is at the corner
of a drafty street. He might be sub
sidized by influenza or he might get a
commission on sore threats from his
eagerness to pin you into the most
dangerous position that can be dis
covered, says the Philadelphia Ledg-
er.
One desires an adequate amount of
sympathy in distress, but our man al
ways goes a little beyond this point.
You are growing thin, and he says
that you are wasting away to a shad-
ow. You are growing stout, and he
tells an unamusing anecdote about
apoplexy. He can be more critical
than a h~airdresser il occasion gives
the least excuse,

PUTS DAMPER ON PROPOSALS
lndlsnities Heaped Upon the Bride

"NS''t'es FSdPeo upon the Bride.
Groom-Elect In China.
women are constantly complaining
d q eligible men show a most uncon-
promising desire to remain single in
stead Of selecting a wife. It is, there
tore, a good thing that the same con-
d1tlons Go not prevail in England as
in some parts of China, or the prob
ability Is that not one in q thousand
would ever take a woman "for better
or for worse"
In these Celestial regions the bride
grcom-elect has to submit to being
dressed up by his friends in any sort
of costume they like, and thus habited
they accompany him in state through
the streets Of the town. Perhaps in
that part OF the world men are over
anxious to be married, and everything
which can possibly be done to induce
them to remain single until they ar
rive at a more mature age has to be
resorted to.
1t is another case Of all being fair
in love and war, and no doubt the
Chinaman who is shouting today as
he accompanies his friend knows full
well that next week he may be the
bridegroom-elect, and so the punish
ment Is robbed Of much of it's terror

She Does Not FIirt.

The one girl in the world who does
not understand the art of flirting Is she
Of the Philippine Islands. She Is wom-
anly and interesting, extremely grace
full, as straight as an arrow and always
picturesque, but seldom pretty. A girl
becomes a young lady at IL or 10; by
IS she is probably a grandmother, but
at the advanced age Of so she is
still supple and graceful and pictur-
esque. The type of beauty Of all the
Pacific islands is the same. The skin
Is yellow or brown, the hair straight
and shiny black, the eyes soft and lus-
trous, and the teeth white. The girls
are modest to the last degree.

WANTED TO FIND OUT.

Scientist Used a Friend to Test Certain
Kind of Poison.
When ones friend is a scientist and
given to experiments, a little caution
may not be out Of place before con-
senting to do him a favor. That, how
ever, did not occur to a well-known
public man whose experience is related
in an Austrian paper, says the Youths
Companion. He went to the laboratory
Of an old schoolmate, a Melbourne pro-
lessor Of chemistry, to make a friendly
call. The professor was studying a
sheet of paper.
Il say" he cried, when greetings had
been exchanged, would you kindly let
me place a bit of this on your tongue?
My taste has become vitiated by try
ing all sorts CT things"
Certainly" responded the accom-
modating friend, and he promptly
opened his mouth.
The professor took up some Of the
substance under analysis and put it on
his friends tongue. The man worked
it around in his mouth for fully a
minute, tasting 1t much as he might
have tasted a choice CONNECTION.
Mote any effect?" asked the profess
sor.
mo, none"
at doesn't paralyze or prick your
tongue?'
mot that I can detect"
II thought not. There are no aka
loids in it, then. How does it taste?"
Bitter as gall"
"IIem-m-m! All right"
BY this time the visitors curiosity
was aroused. But what Is 1t, any
how?" he inquired.
II don't know. That's what I'm try
ing to find out. Some one has been
poisoning horses with it."

TORTOISE is A MoUsER.
Novel Pet of a Philadelphia Woman
Catches Mice.

NOVEL ret OF q fhAiadelpnIS woman
Catches Mice.
A Philadelphia woman who dislikes
both cats and mice has discovered a
novel substitute for one as an exter-
minator of the other. This substitute
is nothing more nor less than an ordi-
nary land tortoise.
Ever since last summer, when the
tortoise was added to the family circle
by the woman's youngest son, aged 9,
she has noticed that the mice, with
which the house had previously been
overrun, were gradually disappearing.
1t was not until the other day, how
ever, that she discovered the cause.
She was sitting very quietly with some
fancy work, and the tortoise, which
has the liberty of the house, was ap-
parently asleep in a orner. Presently
a little ous made its appearance,
and the tortoise opened it's beady eyes.
Round and round ran the mouse, get
ting nearer and nearer the tortoise as
though fascinated. Finally it was with
in striking distance. The tortoise
darted out its head, there was a snap
Of the Jaws, a tiny little squeak, and
the house was dead.
Then the tortoise calmly and DELHI
erately set to work, says the Philadel-
phia Record, to eat its victim.
The degree of rapidity with which
horse racing has leaped into popular
favor this season, and particularly
among the fashionable habitues of
the Saratoga track, Is unexampled.
This form Of amusement has ave-
been a predominating one in the an
nails of American sport and a favorite
gambling means for the interchang-
ing of money, but this year the bet
ting mania has laid hold Of the peo-
pie as never before and the amount
Of money that changes pockets after
each race is extraordinary.
II estimate that two millions of
dollars a day Is bet on the races at |
this track" said a prominent Sara
toga bookmaker a few days since.
THE amount of betting now" he con-
tinued, "fs five times as great as any |
other year that l hGTe known here.

great plunger or group Of plungers, |

Radium Makes the Blind sSee."
From the London Chronicle


certain rare metal. to which the name
of radium has been given, figured in an in
teresting paper recently read before the
Academy of Medicine in Paris by NJ Javoil
Its properties recall to mind the fact that
the relations of certain metals and other
objects of light-production are matters still
demanding much investigation. For it ap-
pears that radium possesses the power of
giving forth light waves of kind allied to
those we are familiar with In the case of
Roentgen's discovery, X-rays, in fact Most
interesting Is the observation of another in
vestigator. NJ. Giessel, who showed that
certain compounds of radium give rise to
light rays which can reach the eye through
a metal screen Also, it Is stated that SIM
liar sensations are experienced when a glass
tube containing chloride of radium is mere

would be too much at present even to pre-

an unlikely result of further knowledge re-
