To Make Court plaster.

Put some isinglass to soak in warm
water for twenty-four hours, then evap-
crate nearly al of the water by gentle
heat. Add little spirits of wine to
the remainder and when it has dis

through the silk again, and so on until
securely fastened. Melt the jelly and
apply it &c the silk with 4 clean hair
brush. spreading it thinly and evenly
over the entire surface Allow this
coat to dry thoroughly, then give it
second coating in the same manner.
When the whole thing has become quite
dry apply three coats Of balsam of
Peru. This court plaster will be found
very pliable and will not break.

CUR POISONOUS SNAKES.
The symptoms That Come From the
Venom of Their bites.


Notwithstanding the fact that there
are many poisonous snakes in this
country, eases of snake bite are not
common. They occur frequently
enough, however to make it " nth ev-
cry farmers or country roamer's while
to faniiarize himself with the poison
Gus effects upon the body of snake
venom and the best means to overcome
those effects.
The most common of the poisonous
snakes in this country are the coral
snakes. the copperhead, the water
moccasin and many varieties Of rat
tlcsnakes. The symptoms of poisoning
vary somewhat according to the vari-
ETY. of snake and also to the state of
tie weather and the condition which
the snake is in at the time. The poi
sOnOuS effects arc more marked the
hotter the weather ut the time, AMI
the bite OF Il we'll fed snake is moro
harmful than that OF one which is fast
ing
The symptoms Of snake bite are both
local and general In the case Of rat
tlesnake bite the local symptoms con-
sist in severe pain and very great dis
colOratiOn about the wound, due to the
suffusiOn of blood under the skin. The
part becomes greatly swollen and may
even mortify.
The general symptoms come on quite
rapidly. Sometimes within ten or
twenty minutes Of the bite there is i
rapid and weak pulse. the victim is
nauseated, often vomits, staggers as
he walks ana suffers from marked and
increasing prostration Death may oc-
eur directly from the action Of the
venom OF it may follow later and be
due to Erostration resulting from the
gangrenc occurring at the site of the
bite.
Recovery, Which occurs in about
three-quarters of the cases Of rattle
snake poisoning, even when untreated,
is very prompt. the symptoms of de-
preston disappearing as rapidly as
they came on.
When one has been bitten by a poi
sonous snake, the first thing to do is to
prevent the entrance of the poison into
the general circulation, which is to be
done by tying cord or a strip Of
cloth as tightly AS possible about the
limb above tho bite. Then the part biz
ten should be cut freely with sharp
knife, with two or three cross cuts, SO
that it Will bleed freely.
Sucking the wound is good for the
victim, but dangerous for the person
who does it, for tire poison may be alb
sorbed through any small abrasion near
the mouth.
The elimination of the poison that
may have been absorbed should be pro-
NOTED by the use of purgatives and
wrapping the victim in blankets, with
hot bottles to promote perspiration. AL
cohol is Of service in moderate quaint
ties. but it should never be taken ID

There was only one wearor of the

lunner circled over to the side lines.
The blue player raced right at him.
when they were still ten feet apart,
the blue player sprang like "A tiger
and grasped the runners legs in a
ieath-llke grip. The force of the
tackle was terrific, both players

Doc Travels 800 Miles.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Left in Columbus,
Ohio, more than 300 miles away, on
March IS last, Trix, the pet dog and
companion of May Clark, aged 16, of 235
North Clark Street, turned up in Chicago
yesterday and discovered his mistress,
having made one of the most remarkable
journeys on record and accomplished the
additional feat on singing out the family
with whom he formerly lived from
among more than 100000 of people.
How the dog found the residence of
his young mistress will always remain a
mystery. When Miss Clark came out of
a restaurant yesterday the dog was sitting
wan and gaunt in front of her lodgings.
At the sight of her he dashed forward,
and before she realized what was hap
pening he had both paws around her
neck.

The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust
company on Monday of this week need
not be construed by alarmists as a sign
of widespread disaster. But some such
occurrences as these have a tendency to
make men pause and take heed. Pros
perity has its dangers; and not the least
of these is the opportunity for the I'M
scrupulous, which is presented so often
in times of plenty, to amass wealth by
dishonest means. In our latter day
money stealing can be done in such gen.
teel ways that buccaneering need not be
resorted to. Millions can be made dis
honestly by men who pose as shining ex-
amples all the time And the fall of the
Knickerbocker company is believed to be
brought about by some of that class of
financiers, to whom the phrase ''fren-
zied" might be applied. Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou says, in regard to
the situation: 1.-The treasury department
will use its facilities to assist in every
proper way legitimate business interests,
and its action will be prompt and thor
ough." A prominent financier states :
Such trouble as exists in various places
is directly traceable to bad management
by bad men. We have been trying to
get rid of such men. Some we have got
ten rid of, and all eventually will 60"
This is rather a cheerful prophecy; but
we doubt very much if the "bad men,
will all be eliminated from high finance,
either this year or next.

SAVE THIS ANYWAY.
Put in Safe Place, for II May Come
Handy,

Here is a simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on Kid
ney diseases, who makes the statement
in New York daily newspaper, that it
will relieve almost any case of Kidney
trouble if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease. He states that such
symptoms as lame back, pain in the side,
freqent desire to urinate, especially at
night; painful and discolored urination,
are readily overcome. Here is the re-
cipe; try it.
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are all
harmless and easily mixed at home by
shaking well in bottle. This mixture
has peculiar healing and soothing effect
upon the entire Kidney and Urinary
structure, and Otter overcomes the worst
forms of rheumatism in just little
while. This mixture is said to remove
all blood disorders and cure the Rheuma-
tism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and
strain from the blood and system all
uric acid and foul, decomposed waste
matter, which cause these Affections.
Try it if you aren't well. Save the pre-
scription.
