NEW CURE FOR SNAKES BITE
Follows Plan Of Hair Of the Doq

Take a hair of the dog that bit
gested remedy, has led many man
out of the frying pan into the fire,
and it cannot certainly be recommend
ed as a cure suitable for modern
times, when an antidote is more rec
ommendable.
Dogs are not. however, the only ami
mails whose bite is to be feared and
those people whose travels have led
them TO far lands know that poison
dreaded.
Though by far the greater proper
tion of those persons thus bitten Iie,
there is certain number who re-
cover. thanks to prompt measures,
and thanks also to the administration
of the exact remedy which any par
ticular snake bite requires.
II has lately been reported that, on
the principle of the old adage men
turn-an almost certain. cure for
snake bite is the injec ton of a small
portion of the bic of the reptile
which has attacked any one. and

killed on the spots naturally at

The gall bladder is extracted. its
contents filtered and the fluid inject

no snake-bitten person will complain
if by this means he escapes rapid

MAKING GOOD PASTRY.
Must Be Very Carefully Prepared
Some Directions.

Good pastry is not difficult to mace
II a few simple rules be followed
OF course, We all know that pies are
not, strictly speaking, as healthful fol

Still when made properly with the
best OF materials. any well-regulatec
stomach ought to be able to digest
them, IL not eaten more than once

Men. particularly. are very fond ol
pie and heartily indorse the senti-
ment of the late Eugene Field which
he expressed In the following lines:
Your favored creams and Ices.
Ard your dainty angel-food,
Are mighty fne devices
To regale the dainty dude;
Your terrapin and oysters,
With wine to wash 'em down,
Are just the thing for roysterers

No flippant sugared notion
Shall my appetite appeass,
Or bate my souls devotion
To apple-pie and cheese!
Pastry is either plain paste. or pun
paste, according to the amount OF but
ter worked into it. says Belle Estes
in the Prairie Farmer. The plain
paste is used for pies and also foi
the under crust Of pies. and the pun
paste for the upper crusts OF pies. foi
patties. tarts and cheese straws.
Pun Paste.-Wash one cup of but,

cups OF -four. Moisten to stih dough
with cold water. Knead on houred
board. Cover and let stand Ave min

Continue until the paste has been
rolled and folded fve times. Let II
stand five minutes until you get your
pans ready. Then make your pie In

lower crust. However. prefer to
use the plain paste for the lower crust
and the puff paste for the upper. II

days, by rolling In a piece Of cheese
cloth or an old napkin and putting 1t
in a cool place. II you do not care
to keep it over. make of the pun
paste some cheese straws or some
tarts.
To make the cheese straws, which
are delicious. roll the pun paste one
fourth of an inch thick; sprinkle one
half of 1t with grated cheese: fold
over and roll out; repeat twice add
ing cheese each time. Then cut in
strips six inches long and one-third
OF an inch wide. They will almost
double In thickness in baking.
Make tarts by cutting three-inch
squares out of the paste; brush over
with water and then bend the four
corners toward, but not quite to the
center: bake and when cold put jam,
jelly or apple filling in the center.
The apple filling is inexpensive. deli
cious and easy to make. One cup OF
fine apple sauce, two tablespoons OF
butter, melted. one-fourth cup OF
sugar, one-half teaspoonful Of lemon

Plain Paste.-Mix thoroughly one

OF flour and a little salt. then add
only enough cold water to just hold
the dough together. Roll out half

Toured board. All should be done as
quickly as possible. as the crust will

On May goth the Lucky Dutchman
shipped carload of high grade ore
TO Salt Lake. The company is stop
ing ore at the same time that they are
sinking the shaft. In pursuit OF this
work they are employing fifteen expert
enced miners.
G.. ii. Shearer is at Los Angeles
bonding his property. The tunnel or
this group is in ore. and at the gates
of the town OF Crescent. The amount
of the bond Is for $25O,0OO.
Robert Schrum, who is back OF
Lyons and back of Scott Prices
Center Star group, has bonded
for $4,000 cash and 100000 shares
of stock to Salt Lake parties. This
property is in the section that has ac-
quired great fame through the pur-
chase of the Bright and Siders prop
erty by Gregg and Burns.
Gus Hamstead has a deal consum.
mated with Mr.. Swindel. who operated
the Duplex mine at Searchlight at one
time. for his New York Montana prop

with a cash payment of $4,000. This
property has as great showing as
any property in the Nippeno country.
c. Smitlan has bonded the property
owned by Oliver Brewer. He is pre-
pairing to push work on a large scale.
The Crescent country is coming TO
the front in great shape. The devel-
opment work is proof that 1t will be

Ore bodies are being uncovered In nu-
merous properties, and. what is more,
they carry the evidence that indicates
permanency. The coming to the front
as Crescent does reminds the writer

inches, returning an average value OF
$3.50 gold. s1S copper.
Two inches of iron-stained quartz on
the foot wall give values of 5000 per
ton. The rest of the pay streak gives
10 per cent copper An iron porphy-
ritic quartz is the footwall of this vein.
A small streak of this carries values
of from $40 to $50 per ton Twenty
feet of this base wall return values
sufficient to work 1t upon a large scale.
The vein Is exposed for about 5000 feet
and since N A. Kuhn bought an inter

the vein, revealing an improvement in
size, and with enhanced gold values;
also showing a dip of 40 degrees.
