Among the fayOrs used are coffee, tea,

Curing Snake Bites.

Considerable difference of opinion ex-
lists with regard to Il trustworthy rem
edy for snake bites. DR.. Lauder Brun-
ton advocates the use of permanganate
Of potash applied Immediately. Mr..
GreengrasS of North Arcot district
Madras, however. as the result of vari-
GUS experiments states that acetic acid
even in the diluted form of vinegar is
an important and effectual remedy,
and it can be applied effectually as
long us an hour or an hour and Il half
after the bite Cases of recovery from
snake bites have followed the applica-
ton Of vinegar after such intervals
An incisiOn must be made over the
bite, as much of the poison as possible
squeezed out, and then vinegar is to
be injected. If the bite Is on Il limb, Il
ligature must be placed above IT, MI
Greengrass records twenty-nime eases
of recovery from cobra bites by such Il
use of vinegar. The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
incisiOn had been made over the bite

Crows and STRINGS.

1t was proved centuries ago that
crow can count up to three and no
more. l met a farmer once who said
that his corr crop had not failed in
twenty years owing to his habit of
stringing his field. He explained:
mo crow will enter an angle formed
by two strings stretched on poles. |
illustrated this to some friends sew
eral years ago by sowing a small field
in corn for fodder, protecting it by
Zigzag string running from one end to
the other. Within the angles formed
by the string not a blade OF the young
crop was touched but close without
them, at each end, the whole crop was
demolished. \ crow is very wise
fool, and this is an effective and cheap
way of circumveuting him" - New
