This is how the Indians of Central
America cure snake bite: They pin
the unlucky patient to the ground and
wind strong creepers above and below
the bite until they cut into the flesh.
Then they apply live coal TO the
wound to cauterize it and follow that
up by rubbing in a mixture of chewed
tobacco and crushed garlic. By this
time the victim is nearly mad with
pain and ready TO kill everybody in
sight, especially when he finds, as lie
often does, that the snake was not
venomous.

How the Butterfly Is Protected.

The brilliant coloring on the wings Of
some kinds of butterflies is a bitter
tasting pigment, which to a certain eX-
tent protects those species from being
eaten by their foes. Frogs will try to
eat sulphur butterflies, and. after tast-
ing them. will promptly reject them.
The brilliant colors may be produced
in order TO advertise the nauseous
taste as well rs TO aid the butterfly in
attracting a mate of its own kind. We

TWO CASES WHICH

dislike to go In the papers for such
cases but my conscience requires it.
There Is in o,r city a woman with foui
young children, one of them q baby, two
months old. Her husband has left her
penniless and run off with another wo-
man. She has been forced to let things
GO until she has no stove or any other
furniture Of her own but is using the
stove Of the widow who lives down stairs.
A manager in one OF the tobacco fac
tories will give. her an opportunity to
learn, but the wages. will be mere
pittance for q few weeks, and 1t will be
at least two months before she can make
bread for herself and four children.
Another urgent case is that OF q woman
who is slowly dying with an ncurabe dis
ease. Her mother has followed her to
mis- hour Of misery and suffering. while
the rest Of the family have all turned
against her on account Of her sin. With
the limited mems at my disposal for

and enjoyed immensely
