ODD YELLOW FEVER CURE.
Worked All Right on Dutchman,
But Was Death to
Spaniard

During the yellow fever epidemic at
New Orleans in 1878 German medi-
cal student braved the terrors of the
plague to secure the advantage of ex-
perience. Doctors we're few, and his
services were gladly accepted. He
had ideas, and many were his expert
ments. Treating a Hollander at the
hospital, Dr.Hans decided that his pa
tient was about to die, so he pre-
scribed as a last solace to the expiring
man a huge plate of sauerkraut. He
watched the sick man devour the deli
cacy so dear to the palate of our
friends across the sea. To Hans I'M
bounded amazement. on his next in
spection he found the Hollander sit
ting UP in bed reading a newspaper
we'll on the road to recovery. Jerking
forth his notebook ne jotted down:
"R. sauerkraut will cure a Dutchman
of yellow fever" Proceeding to an
other ward he found Spaniard in a
bad way. Procuring another plate OF
sauerkraut, he babe the patient eat it
and live-but speedily the Spaniard
died. Reaching to his notebook. Hans
added to the prescription: "But will
kill a Spaniard."

REMOVING DAT SMUT.
Disease Of Grain Remedied by Treat
ment with Formaldehyde
Spray.

Diseased seed oats are now medi-
Gated while passing through elevators,
a number of the grain elevators of
Indiana having been equipped for the
purpose. The peculiar ailment to
which oats are most susceptible is
known as Smut" and unless treated,
such oats produce very inferior crops.
However. the disease can be cured
quite easily, and the medicament is
simply formaldehyde, that much
abused germicide.
TO treat the oats veritable drop or
chute about three feet square and 40
to so feet high, is prepared. on the
inside of which are placed shelves or
deilectors sloping downward. alternat-
ing on opposite sides from top to bot
tom. AS the grain drops from the
top II is thrown from side to side by
the dehectors and thus thoroughly
mixed
By means of a small steam pump
tine fcrmaldehyde Is then thrown, in
the form of a fine spray. against the
falling grain near the top of the drop.
BY the time the grain reaches the bot
tow II is thoroughly moistened, being
allowed to remain in this condition
for several hours. after which it is
run through the drop a second time
with a blast of cold air replacing the
stream of formaldehyde spray, by
which it is thoroughly dried.

WHAT SNAKE SWALLOWED.
Snake No Thicker Than a Mans
Finger Takes Down
Ducks Egg

A little snake was recently presented to
the Paris Museum of Natural History,
whose capabilities in the way Of swal-
lowing are the wonder of all observers.
This snake is only about the thick
ness of a mans finger, and was caught
in the act of swallowing a ducks egg.
The question is, how does 1t manage to
get down its throat such a thing as
ducks egg, not only so much larger than
itself, but hard and perfectly smooth?
A probable supposition is that
couple of membraneous folds which
have been discovered, one on each side
of the mouth, lay hold upon the shell
like cupping glasses and thus work it
into the throat. But after the egg has
passed through the distended jaws it
would seem as if its bulk and solidity
when lodged in a comparatively inelas-
tic portion of the digestive tube. whose
juices were unable to dissolve the shell,
would prove fatal to the animal.
This snake has no teeth, but so-called
gular teeth are present being really the
tips of the long inferior spines of the
first eight or nine vertebrae protruding
through it's food passage. When the
shell is broken by the gular teeth it is
elected and the fluid passes into the
stomach.

COLORADO GRAND CANYON
An Artists Singular Manner of Pre-
senting Its Beauties to
His Bride.

An artist who loved the wilderness
brought his bride to the head of the
Bright Angel trail. 1t was night when
they came to their journeys end, re-
lates McClure's Magazine. and the man
persuaded the woman not to look upon
the Grand canyon until morning. When
the sun was high he blindfolded her
and led her out of the log hotel that
stood upon the brink of the precipice to
point of rock that oyerhangs the
abyss.
For two days and nights they had been
riding through the desert. fiat and gray,
with blue mountains Ticking in and
out of the horizon. with few jarring
crevasses and buttes and bluffs TO em-
phasize the tranquility of the scene.
The desert. with its somber serenity,
had charmed her soul and left 1t in a
fine repose. AS she stood blindfolded
she could think of nothing but the great
level stretches of sand and sage and
cactus. The man had told the woman
little of the canyon, and when he took
the bandage from her eyes he held her
fCiy dShpJ 40 ohC ioOhVu Oue oSiOoS
the miles and miles of tumult of form
and riot of color that seemed to swirl
thousands of feet below her and around
her.
AS from the clouds she looked down
into an illimitable, red-tinged ash
colored hell, abandoned and turned to
stone. cons and cons ago. she stared
amazed at the awful thing for long
minute, and then. as the tears of mex
plicable emotion dimmed her eyes. she
turned and cried vehemently at her art
list husband:
IF you ever try to paint that I'll leave
you!"
