A Strange Cure for Snake Bite.
From Chambers Journal.


Take hair of the dog that bit you.
Is an old saw that, suggested remedy.
has led many man out of the frying pan
[ into the fire, and 1t cannot certainly be rec
commended as cure suitable for modern
times, when an antdote is more recon-
men6able Dogs are not however. the only
animals whose bite is to be feared; and
those people whose travels have led them
to far lands know that poisonous snakes
are much more to be dreaded. Though by
far the greater proportion of those persons
thus bitten die. there Is certain number
who recover. thanks to prompt measures
and thanks also to the administration of
the exact remedy which any particular snake
bite requires. The poison elected by the
tooth of asps and serpents varies as much
as does the poison from the spoken words
of the wicked, and Ii has lately been dis
covered-especialiy in Brazil, which seems
to hold the record for its variety of death
giving snakes-that the serum with which
those bitten are treated should vary, ac-
cording to the kind of snake. But this.
though advantageous to know In theory, is
of small practical use. since the traveller
cannot be sure Of having exactly the right
serum with him at the moment of the fatal
bite. It has lately been reported that, on
the principle of the old adage mentioned
above--which thus serves turn--an almost
certain cure for snake bite Is the injection
of small portion of the bile of the reptile
the snake being generally killed on the
SPOTS naturally at hand The gall blad-
der Is extracted, Its contents filtered and
the fluid injected under the skin. The
method sounds somewhat complicated. but
no snake-bitten person will complain II by
this means he escapes a rapid death. The
experiments made have given the best re-
suits, those recovering from the poisonous
bite of South American snake coming on
with nothing worse than an abscess at the
point of penetration OF the snakes tooth

FROM the san Francisco Call
Last year several localities In California
TOOK up arms against the mosquito, the
eulex infernalis. By strict attention to
business the pest-spreading foe of human
happiness was exterminated In many To-
calities Kerosene and copperas did the
work. sitagnant water was drained off and
at the end OF the campaign the victorious
warriors had a Roman triumph. But the
hilarity is declining upon the discovery
that the Industrious insect puts In his time
in the wet season looking around for
business location. He goes back TO the
greener ponds and waters new, where the
rain has washed out the medicine that did
him. So the fighters are mobilizing again
for spring campaign. There is no doubt
that the, complete determination of the
mosquito Is possible. BY making the war
sufficiently extensive none will be left to
immigrare at the beginning OF spring and
spread slgain in places from which they
were driven. 1t 10 no longer an open ques-

Good Common Law.

From the London Truth.
One OF the absurdities OF the law was
strikingly Illustrated at Shrewsbury quar-

veranda and thereby became part of the
freehold. AS part of the freehold the lead
was land IN the eye OF the law. Land could
not be stolen. and therefore the prisoner
could not be convicted OF larceny. Ac-

the owner against a person taking lead

civil action for damages. Truly the law is

BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Notwithstanding
yesterdays heavy decline in the prices of
securities, some of the leading spectators
this morning were disposed to exercise great
caution In entering upon fresh commit
ments on the long side of the market.
While 1t was admitted that the selling
movement which has been under way for
the last ten days. should have pretty thor
oughly discounted all unfavorable inffu-
ences and that the process of liquidation
was not likely to go much further at pres
ent 1t was still believed that the market
would have another break before 1t rights
itself
The consensus Of opinion was that more
real liquidation occurred yesterday than at
any time since the movement began While
the decline in prices was helped on by
the aggressive tactics of the bear party,
large lines of stocks were thrown over by
wealthy men mot because their margins
had been impaired but because they con-
cluded that the wisest course was to get
out of the market. Many of these men
will, of course buy back their stocks In
the near future, but they are hoping to
do so at lower level
The decline which has taken place has
greatly weakened a large number OF mar
gin accounts, and nearly every house on
the street sent out calls last night for ad-
ditional margins from it's customers.
good buying yesterday. prominent operators
expressed the opinion this morning that
the technical position of the market has
been rather weakened by the impairment of
mar gins, and they would not be surprised
to see fresh selling movement started
again today or Monday. 1t was believed.
however, that many of the shorts would
cover their contracts today, and this may
prove a source OF temporary strength to the
market.
Until conditions become more settled mar
ket operators were disposed to overlook all
outside influences Some OF those bearfshly

the coal operators to grant the miners de-

carry on their campaign, though the more
conservative element was not inclined to
give the coal labor situation any great
weight as further market influence.

PLEADS DRUNKENNESS
 FOR OUTRAGEOUS CRIME
Tom Wright Arrested on Charge of
 Criminal Assault.

Tom Wright was arrested yesterday by Marshal Kinney and turned over to the authorities of the county for eX- animation on the felony charge of criminal assault. Wright, who denies any attempt to injure the object of hiB assault, who is an eight year old Mex ican girl named Ramona Miranda, came here a few days ago from Pres colt. He admits some of the incrim- inating circumstances, but says his conduct was due to the excessive use of liquor and not to any feloniOus motive. Marshal Kinney says that while Wright has a dissipated appearance and looks as though he might be a hard drinker, he does not believe he was sufficiently under the influence of liquor when this incident occurred to have impaired his mental responsible ity for his acts. In fact he did not no- tice any signs of present intoxication.
 About 9:S0 o'clock yesterday morn ing Wright entered a room near the home of the Mirandas at Fourth and Lincoln street. the little girl being in it at the time. According to the story of the child he seized her and holding his hand over her mouth to prevent an outcry attempted violence which was frustrated by her excited resist ance. She finally escaped from his grasp and ran into the yard screaming. thus attracting the attention of her mother and another woman who chanced to be at the house. Though they had seen the man enter the room it was their first knowledge that the child was there. The women began throwing missiles al Wright, who fled They attracted the attention of Jesus Salazar, one of the city zanjeros He reported al once to Griggs Carr, who has charge ofa the street department and who was not far away Mir Carr sent a man to follow Wright and as soon as possible telephoned Marshal Kinney. The. officer immediately took up Wrights line of flight and appre- hended him at the corner of Grant street and South Fourth avenue, while he was travelling in a westerly direc- tion as fast as possible.
 When arrested Wright seemed greatly agitated and denied that he was guilty of any intended wrong do- ing He said he had just come down from Prescott and had been on a big spree. He will probably be arraigned today.
