4NTIDOTE FOR RATTLER'S POISON
J'sed by Mexicans and Supposed to Be Mokl
indiana Secret Remedy.

Sunt. B. F. Daniel of the Territorial
nrison. who has been in the city for the
last three days, says the A risond ReppS l.
ran. told while here Of certain cure for
the bite Of the rattlesnake.
He had heard of it while he had been
eneared in mining in Mexico, and since he
became superintendent Of the prison he
has seen two or three Mexican convicts
who had been cured and who had the scars
70 show that they had been bitten. On
the hand of one Of them was the trace OF
a centipede, whose poison also yields to
the remedy. Its existence. however. Is
not widely known, even in Mexico, and Is
s,nnosed to be entirely unknown out OF
that country. -,
There is in every rattlesnake small
sac. about the size of a Mexican bean, at
tached to the intestines. This is filed
With a brownish or black fluid. and that
fluid is the cure for the bite. If it ia applied
Immediately the patient will not even
suffer any swelling and will entirely avoid
pain,
MANY Mexicans carry the fluid with them
at all times when they are in the mountains
or on the desert These Mexicans kill all
the rattlers they can find. and most OF them
store the fluid in a bottle made OF rifle
cartridge shell which is tightly corked.
In anatomical descriptions OF the rat
tier no mention is made of this particular
sac, though air sacs are numerous in the
intestinee of all members Of he snake fam
ilv. But there Is no doubt Of the existence
Of il. for Mr. Daniel said he had seen Next
cans remove it frequently.
It may be that this fluid is the secret
Of the Moki Indians, and accounts for the
immunity that they enjoy from the poison
Of the RATHER. Those who have attended
their annual snake dances and have seen
dancers bitten have wondered that he hites
we're not fatal.
is one of the most carefully guarded secrets
Of he rites Of the Mokis and is kept within
a select order OF the priesthood. Dr. j.
Miller for years annually attended these
dances and made etudy Of the ceremonies.
The Indians formally adopted him. not only
into the tribe but advanced him in the priest
hood. The doctor wanted chiefly to learn
the secret Of the poison antidote, and he was
told year after year that the next year be
would be put in possession OF the secret.
But he died without It.

FOUR BARREL PUNCH BOWL.
Once o Gift to Maine Sea Cap'n: Now a
Plain Watering Trough.

Rain watering trough.
BANGOR, May 27.--The watering trough
in Pickering Square was once a punch
bowl. Years ago. when Capt. Charles
Sanford owned a steamboat line between
Bangor and Boston, his friends decided
that they would make him an original
present on an anniversary. and they or
dered a punch bowl Ave feet high and ten
feet in diameter, OF rough granite, without
inscriptions.
The bowl was shipped from the quarry
to Bangor on a schooner, on board which
vessel the formal presentation took place.
Capt. Sanford was surprised, but he man.
aged to make a speech and the bowl was
chr,stened then and there--a ceremony the
like of which has never been witnessed
on the Penobsoot River. II is said that
about four barrels Of punch was stirred
up in the granite bowl, and the entire water
front population was invited to have some
thing
The bowl was kept on board the craft
for week or more, until one day the owner
thought he would pvt 1t on the wharf, and
with all sorts Of tackle the task was begun
At the critical moment a rope parted, and
crew went into the river at once. The
bowl stayed where it sank for a number Of
years. .-...
But Capt Sanford finally decided that
the bowl must come up, and he offered 1t
to the city as watering trough IL they
cared enough about 1t to move it from where
stands now, to delight the hearts Of dust
covered horses down in the square. It il
