COUNTY ROADS.

rhe roads of Lee county now that have
been worked over, can if they are worked

entirely by machinery. There is no need
for over half The expense other year

REMEDY FOR SNAKE BITE.
Successful Experiments With Perman-
- ganate of Potassium.

Consul Masterson OF Alden reports that
Dr. Leonard Rogers contributed paper
to the Indian Medical Gazette on the treat
ment of snake bite by permanganate OF
potassium, which has been very widely dis
cussed throughout India, and which Is Ike
ly to receive general attention from medi-
cal men Consul Masterson writes:
DIR. Rogers, in this paper, reports or
twelve cases of snake bite in which th!s
new remedy was put into practice. In two
cases it failed, but these were the cases In
which the longest intervals had elapsed be-
fore the remedy was applied. The per
sons were bitten during the night and were
no. treated till the following day. the in
terval in one case amounting to eleven
hours and in the other to nine hours. In
seven of the successful cases the snake
was killed and identified; in five cases IL
was a-cobra and in the other two 1t was a
viper. In the remaining three successful
cases the identity of the snake was not
ascertained in two cases and in the other
case. the reptile was seen and described
as cobra.
.'Of the two fatal cases. one was bitten
by cobra. the other by snake that was
not identified. Two of the successful cases
were treated by Europeans without any
medical training. In three Of the success
full cases treatment was begun at once; In
from half hour TO Your hours. These
results show that even when all the doubt
full elements have been excluded or al.
lowed for. this method promises to be most
efficacfous, and a very satisfactory feature
Is that 1t is so simple anybody can apply
1t and so cheap that 1t is within reach OF
the poorest.
When a person has been bitten by
snake the first thing TO do Is to apply
Hgature above the wound to prevent the
rapid absorption of the venom. Then an
incision is to be made over the snake bite
with any sharp-cutting Instrument that
Is perfectly clean. and a few grains of he
permanganate are to be well rubbed on
Permanganate of potassium is a cheap
arug. obtainable from any druggist 1t
keeps indefinitely. and a pound would sur-
nee, at the rate of ten grains for each ca Sc
for between 100 and 800 people There
seems to be no reason why every house,
hold should not be furnished with this
remedy, or why the great majority OF
place In India each year from snake bite
should not be prevented"

Pastisnes Of the Rich.
From the Philadelphia Ledge,

According to New York adyices. tho no.

patrons were the wives of millionaires.
When they were found the ladies' fell upon
their knees. rolled their eyes, elasped their
hands and begged for mercy. They did not
want to go to the station. Accustomed TO

pedestrian they regarded as undesirabie a
ride in the patrol wagon. They stripped
diamonds from their fingers, tore them from
their ears, unclasped with tremulous haste
priceless strings of pearls and offered them
to their cruel captors But the captors
were obdurate: besides, somebody might be
loo king. What Is diamond to New York
policeman when the inspiration OF virtue
has seized him? mere nothing What
caught with the goods? The wind that
blows
However. the story lacks continuity
There is noticeable hiatus In the array OF
data. No names are given. no addresses
The public is asked to accept the tale that
women of wealth were found In a resort
which would be attractive only to tinhorn
gamblers The "tinhorn" designation is not
slang. 1t means the small fry. the hanger

Probably the story has q scanty basis

White House nuptials appear to have been
performed. except those of young John
Adams and President Cleveland. who were
married in the blue parlor. The great east
room is an ideal apartment for such a
ceremony. II is the largest of the four state
parlors and extends through the entire
depth Of the east end OF the building. Three
years ago the old gold decorations which
obtained when Miss Roosevelt made her
grand debut there were changed to white
and the entire room was RETURN shed. 1t is
probable that after being married In the
east room in the presence of the elite OF
the land, Mr.. and Mrs Dougworth will re-
eeive their guests In the blue parior and
then sit down TO their wedding feast in the
state dining room.

RETURN OF HATCHERY FISH.
Marked Salmon Taken In Columbis
River After Four Years.


From the Seattle Post Intellgencer.
'what is believed to be the best evidence
Of the efficiency of artificial propagation Of
salmon that has ever been secured was re-
Gently obtained by Fish Commissioner Ke--
shaw relative to the operation of hatch
cries on the Columbia river" said Deputy
Fish Commissioner Perry Baker yesterday.
"Mr. Kershaw received tails and fins OF
100 salmon from single trap owner on the
Columbia river that were plainly marked
hatchery fish.
when the hatcheries were placed in OPP
Grafton on the Columbia river a system OF
marking was adopted for the purpose or
ascertaining if any Of the salmon turned
out Of the river returned to their native
spawning ground, and In what length OF
time.
''rhe marked fins and tails reviewed by
Mr.. Kershaw were found to be salmon that
were turned out Of the Ka1ama and Chi
nook hatcheries four years ago. The spawn
of these fish were taken in 1900 and the
young salmon turned out in 1901. The fish
were marked In manner that leaves no
doubt of this fact The small bones In the
fins were cut down and a hole punched in
the tail. The cutting OF the bones In the
fin is just the same as a man losing part
OF his hnger-it never grows out again.
1.-THE Columbia river was practically de-
Dleted when the artificial propagation or
salmon was commenced on that stream,
anu LILO pdot eOST yChAS a0S NoAAtS'A-
strated that It has been restocked by
some mears
while only part Of the fish were
marked when released from the hatcheries,
the fact that ono trap owner on the river
found at least one hundred OF these salmon
during the past season is conclusive evil
dence that artificial propagation is the only
solution Of the problem to prevent the de-
pletion Of the salmon fisheries.
"Mr Kershaw asked a number. of the
Columbia river cannerymen and trap OPP
orators to watch for the marked salmon,
but during the rush Of the season 1t was
apparently overlooked, as only one re-

Hunting Rabbits With Ferret.

From the Joplin Globe.
Councilman w. 8. Brown. accompanied by
neighbor, made novel hunting trip to
Wild Cat Springs and vicinity yesterday
Instead of guns and dogs the hunters car
ried in a shot bag a slender white ferret
which is q pet of the Brown household.
Two rabbits were tracked to their winter
dens by tho hunters and both were victims
OF the ferrets prowess. but the hunters bag
ged no game. the ferret having cut the
jugular vein of It's victims and left them
IN their own lairs.
Councilman Brown brought his pet up-
town yesterday afternoon for the purpose
OF having Its incisors filed. thus robbing
1t of its murderous weapons and making
1t more valuable as hunting companion
Brown has owned the ferret about two
years. and last winter. when the snow was
on, succeeded Ia taking twenty-ons rabbits
alive by aid OF the slender Attle hunter.
The plan pursued Was to send the ferret
into the holes where rabbits were supposed
to be In hiding. An open bag then was
held over the holes, and the startled cotton
tail thus were snugiy bagged as they sought
to escape.
The ferret IL very tame and fond OF be-
ing petted. No rat or mouse ever has been
discovered about the BrcWu household
since securing the cumming rRtter.
