The RattTesnake.

A rattlesnake carries his rattles
on edge. They have no light
colofed side. They never have
holes worn through them. They
do not drag them on the ground
when crawling. They slope up
from the end Of the tail on the
under edge and are usually carried
at an angle of about As degrees.
A rattlesnake does not shake his
tail when rafting. The shedding
of the skin each year discloses a
new rattle. When in proper posi-
ton the rattlesnake can strike
nearly one-half of his length.
You can run the tine of o pitch
fork down through the center of
his head, and his rattles will stand
up and buzz for hours, but draw a
sharp knife lightly across the
back of his neck and the tail will
lie down and the rafting cease.
The power house In his head, and
the current that sounds the warn
ing is carried by the spinal cord.
1t pains me to have to say that
whisley is not an antidote for the
bite of the rattlesnake; in fact, it
is about the worst thing the pa
tient can take, us it heats the
blood and thus stimulates the alb.
sorption of the venom, and gives
you headache the next day. Not
one person out of q dozen struck
by a iattlesnake receives any Of
the venom in the wound, and this
perhaps accounts for the many
cures by whiskey.
When struck, cut the wound
downward, hsing careful not to
cut too much or too deep, and
suck the wound. The venom
taken into the mouth or stomach
is perfectly harmless. Or, If you
are alone, and cannot reach the
wounds, then heat the blade of
your knife red hot, use that. But
when hunting snakes, carry a
syringe loaded with permanganate
of potash, and inject it into the
wound and you will find it a per-
feet cure. Forest and Stream.

An Old Indian Secret.

San old Cherokee Indian re-
Gently gave away the secret of
how the Indians in old times used
to poison their arrow-heads for
war purposes or for killing bear"
says an exchange. ''They took a
fresh doe liver, and then went to
certain places where they knew
they would find rattlesnakes in
abundance. About midday the
rattlers are all out OF their dens,
.coiled up in the cooking sun. The
bucks would poke the first rattler
they found with the liver on the
long pole. A rattler, unlike COM
mon snakes, always shows fight in
preference to escaping. The
snake would thus repeatedly strike
at the liver with its fangs until its
poison was all used up, where
upon it would quit striking and
try slowly to move on. The bucks
would then hunt up another rat
tier and repeat the Performance,
keeping up the work until the liv-
er was we'll soaked with snake
poison. Then the pole was car
ried home and fastened somewhere
in an upright position until the
liver became as dry as a bone.
The liver was then pounded to a
fine powder and placed in a buck
skin bag, to be used as needed for
their arrows. This powder would
stick like glue to any moistened
surface, and was death to any
creatures which it entered on ar
rows"

Mr.. McLin on the Prison System.

Mr.. MCLin on the Prison System.
Ocala Banner; We enjoyed q
very pleasant visit Friday after
noon from Mr.. b. e. McLin, sec
rotary of agriculture and who is at
the head of the prison system of
Florida. He says that during the
eight years that he has been IN
Office it has been his constant en-
deavor to improve the prison sys-
tenn Of this state, and he congrat-
ulates himself that his efforts have
been largely successful. That
those who are able to recall the
condition of the prison camps in
vogue eight years ago, and the
condition of them now can readily
see the difference. That now no
state prisoners are shackled.
That the utmost care is given to
the sanitary condition of the
camps and TO the food given the
prisoners. That the food is
wholesome and we'll cooked. The
prison camps are provided with
bathing pools and the requirements
compel the lessees to provide good
and cleanly beds, etc, for the pris-
oners, and as soon as a prisoner is
sick medical attention must be inn
mediately provided, and If the ill
ness is dangerous he must be sent
to one of the two hospitals. That
carte blanche invitations are issued
TO any body interested in prison
reforms to visit tho Florida prison
camps at any and all times and the
refusal to admit them will be in
stantly investigated by those in
authority.
Mr. McI,in also saws that per-
sons living in the neighborhood of
the prison camps are earnestly re-
quested TO report any harsh meas
ures used by those in charge of the
prisoners to the authorities at
Tallahassee, and that whenever
this is done the matter is fully in
yestigated, and the lessees are
held responsible therefor, and in
all cases are made to suffer tho
consequences provided by the law
regulating the conduct of the state
prison camps.
Mr.. McLin says there is one
thing now in force that he has
tried to have changed at the meet
ing of every legislature, but has
failed, and that is sending female
prisoners Unfortunately to the
prison camps with the male pris-
oners. That Florida is the only
state in the Union where this is
done, and he hopes reform meas
ures along this line will be adopt
ed at the next session of the legis-
lature.

The Demnition BOw.Wows.

The HERALD candidly confesses
that it is disappointed and discour-
aged by the results of Tuesdays
election. 1t honestly believes that
these results mean that the mon
ey power, the trusts and the
great corporations will continue to
rule this country to its injury.
That they will exercise a powerful
influence in our government, if not
actually control it, is clearly
shown by the fact that such trust
magnates as Messrs. Carnegie and
Rockefeller gave their unqualified
support to Tuesdays victors.
The HERALD fears this deafeat
will cause many Democrats to
align themselves with the Social
lists and other parties in the for
lorn hope of eventually resouing
the government from the control
of the money power. This may
contribute in the years to come to
the building up of the Socialist
party to the extent of placing the
government in their hands. In
deed, to THE HERALD the political
future looks so dark that we APP
prehend that within the next TWEEN
ty-fye years, the republic may be
convulsed with a revolution like
unto the Reign of Terror in
France that ushered in the Napol-
comic era.
We will say, however, that we
hope that our gloomy forebodings
may never be realized.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
In the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de-
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
having proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be-
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits OF
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord, please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, if you can't
do it, please send somebody that cant"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.

cHoKEs MAD DOG IN CHURCH.
Merry Sexton Prevents Panic Among
Hundreds of Worshipers.

Wilmington, Del.-The several hun
dred persons who filled st. Paups
Catholic church at the six o'clock mass
did not know that dog supposed to
be mad was running at large through
the edifice, and it was due to the
bravery of Sexton Bartlett Crogan
that a panic was avoided. He caught
the dog, choked it and threw it from
window.
The dog was noticed when 1t be-
gan to make a peculiar noise as Rev
Edward Higgins assembled the altar
to celebrate mass. No one paid any
attention to the animal, as it was
in the rear of the church, but when
1t began to run up and down the
aisles, frothing at the mouth, snap
ping at the benches and continuing its
strange sounds the worshipers were
much frightened.
Crogan started after the animal
and chased it through the gallery and
organ loft, finally capturing it in the
vestibule. The dog tried to bite him
bat he had it by the throat with
both hands and did not release it until
life was almost extinct. He then
threw the dog, which was big shep
herd, through a window, and the fall
broke it's neck. 1t is believed to have
been suffering with the rabies.

WON REMNANT WITHOUT SIGNS
Boston Americans Under Jimmy Col.
Inns Had No Signals.

Pitcher Jesse Tannehill, traded by
Boston to Washington recently, the
other day revealed the astonishing
fact that the Boston team, under Col
Inns management, won two champion.
ships without signs. Said he:
"One hears much of signs on a ball
team, and yet some of the most sue
cessful teams never had any signs.
The Boston Americans, under Jimmy
Collins, won two pennants, and they
never had any signs. Of course, the
catcher signaled the pitcher, but there
was no hit-and-run sign nor anything
else. The players went through a
game If the man on first stole, the
batter tried to help him out, but there
was no sign for the play, and yet the
team played great ball. l was with
New York, and I know that we spent
a whole lot of time trying to get the
Boston's signs. TO my utter surprise,
1 learned, after joining the Boston
team, that they did not have any.
Jimmy Collins does not believe in
them, and guess he's right. There are
more games lost because of mix-up
in signs than are won by them. The
most successful team, to my notion.
is the one which has the fewest signs.
Signs bother the average player, and
he is so anxious about the signals
that he forgets everything else, with
the result that he does not hit when
he would if not hampered by signals. y
