Of them every year. The poison when
extracted Is sold to chemists and ply
sicians who ind It highly useful in
medicine, and he also sells many Of
the harmless snakes which are In
much demand. also, so that he does q
good business without advertising, and

All.
Armstrong; method Of handling the
snakes and extracting the poison from
the little sacs which lie at the base of
the fangs is unique and original. From
each RATHER he extracts from one to
two tablespoonfuls Of the potion, which
is a green. syrup-like liquid, and has
distinctly sweetish taste. The poi.
son is comparatively harmless when
taken internally. though Armstrong
would not advise anyone to make a
habit OF swallowing much OF II crude
For the purpose OF extracting and
saving the liquid poison the captor
uses specially constructed box which
has sliding glass top. This box 10
so constructed that Armstrong can
hold the snake securely while operat-
ing on him, and at the same time keep
an eye on the snakes movements in
the box. The snake Is hauled out Of
, the box in which It had been placed
when taken from the fattening pen,
where It has been kept for weeks and
perhaps months. and Is then induced
| to enter the operating box which Arm
strong facetiously calls his dental
| chair"
BY their united efforts Armstrong
and his Mexican helper then press
the rattler's head backward over the
sliding top, which forces the snakes
mouth open. The lid is then pressed
tightly against the protrudlng neck
BY this time the snake has become
furiously angry at his undignified
treatment and is ready to strike al
anything and strike deep and hard
At the opportune moment Armstrong
places the rim Of small glass in the
snakes mouth, the Mexican helper re
leases the head Of the reptile for an
instant and 1t Immediately clamps Its

terrible fangs dart forth tthey are
shaped exactly like the claws Of q
cat when they are unsheathed) and
the poison is quickly emptied into
the glass.
In its ferocious state tho snake
drains it's glands of all the poison
they contain. and for long time II
remains harmless. SO far as danger
from its poison Is concerned. Mr.
Armstrong then has little difiiculty In
removing the fangs with pair Of
ordinary dentists forceps.
From six to eight of these fang
are grown by the rattlesnake in the
course Of his lifetime. and they arr
from one-quarter to half inch II
length, are curved and as sharp al
needles. The snakes from which thu
fangs have been extracted find read,
sale at fancy prices. Armstrong keep
large lot on hand all the time, how
ever, in order to supply the deman,
for the poison.

One Before Fall

More than one hundred members Of con-
federate organizations in Washington held
q mass meeting in the Confederate Vet
Grams Hail. 1410 H street northwest. last
night and decided to incorporate in one
body TO be known as the Confederate Men,
orial Association of Washington. The OBJ
Jest of this association will be to extend
charity to survivors Of the confederacy
who may be in need: to perpetuate the
traditions Of the southern cause and to COL
lect and preserve historical papers and
preserve historical spots on the southern
battlehelds.
The chief topic discussed at this meeting
was the necessity of a permanent home
Tor the confederate associations. A num-
per OF stirring addresses were made with
thiS object in view. and before the meeting
was adjourned the project was given
unanimous Endorsement Maj. James Med.
Darlington. president of the Confederate
mass meeting. concluded the meeting by
saying:
Our first fall meeting which will be held
late in September, will be held In our new
home-a home which We own"
When Maj Darlington called the meeting

pointed out the urgent necessity of in
cooperating and securing permanent
home. He was followed by addresses upon
the same lines by Major w H. Gordon. ms.
lice Seth Shepard. ]. w. Hickey and Major
Holmes Conrad. The latter said he is
heartily in favor OF Incorporating and
founding home. but he declared that he
believed II mistake to organize a strictly
and exclusively southern organization He
stated that the element of politics should
by all means be excluded from this pro-
posed Undertaking. adding that some of
the braNest and most ardent symDatbizers

special delivery stamp.

The Postmaster General has decided also
In the interest of expediting special deliv-
cry to recommend to Congress an amend
ment to the present law whereby such let
tiers may be left at their destination with
out procuring receipts in all cases. The law
requires that receipt shall be taken from
the addressee or some one authorized to
receive his mail, and In carrying out this
provision the intent of the sender is often
defeated, for the reason that in the alb
sence of such qualified person the letter is
returned to the post office and is delivered
through the ordinary mail. The amend
ment would enable the department to de-
post such letters In receptacles controlled
by the ADDRESSED. and receipt obtained
later. where immediate acknowledgment
could not be procured Until Congress can
act, however. a broader construction OF the
present law will be given, so that receipt
VIII be accepted by any one occupying tho
premises to whom ordinary mail might be
given.

health; the circulation of their blood becomes less
vigorous; and the functioning of their vital organs
less energetic. Though ignorant of the cause, they
recognize the fact and when summer comes again
they say, We must get away to the shore.
Or perhaps it may be to the mountains. At all
events, it must be into the open somewhere. The
seaside is usually preferred because of notion that
salt air is specially beneficial. So indeed it may be-
but the main advantage of the shore is that
there is unlimited light, with maximum of tempta
ton to be out in the sunshine all day long Lying
on the beach for hours together one literally takes
in health in every pore. The fewer clothes one is
able to wear the better.
Dame Nature, when she brought the human race
the possibility of civilized conditions. The first
human beings dwelt in trees, and wore clothing
whatever. Under such circumstances they enjoyed
the benefit of unlimited light Civilized man, on
the other hand, hides from the light in artificial
caves constructed of baked mud or of stone and in
addition covers nearly all of his body with clothing
that is practically light proof.
The theory here set forth is reducibe basis of
well understood fact. In plants Whose vitality,
while not the same, at least analogous to that of
anlma) the green colorng matter called chlorophyl
is chemical substance which enables the vegetable
organism to utilize the energy of light. If there is
no light, however, there will be chlorophyl. A
potato plant grown in dark cellar will be green
but white with long stem and no foliage that
amounts to anything.
In human beings other animals the red cor
puscles of the blood appear to perform function
