HAND SEWING ON WHITE GOODS.
The Best and Easiest Methods OF Fin.
ishing or Seams.

II is essential In sewing on any light
weight materials to finish on seams
and the wrong side OF garments neat
iy. One OF the most popular methods
OF finishing on a seam Is called the
French seam. and It Is quickly and
easily made and has a neat look when
finished. Run a plain seam on the
right side Of the goods and trim Il of
quite closely. Open the goods. crease
II. and then turn the garment. running
on seam on the wrong side This
produces sort OF double seam
which is delightfully."- neat TO finish and
which is stronger by far than an or
dinary seam.
The filled edge also is the ideal I'm
ish for white underwear. A seam of
ordinary depth is taken on the wrong
side and one edge is trimmed about an
eighth OF an inch and the other is left
TO its full depth. A slight fold is
tapped over and felled down. This
makes fat finish that has the appear
ancc OF band over the seam.
The daintiest and neatest way of let.
ting embroidery into the material is to
cut the muslin OF close to the en-
broidered edge and then roll the edge
OF the material where II is to be Joined
TO the insertion. Now overland the
embroidery edge TO the rolled edge OF
the material. The result of this will
be dainty. neat, and also strong

each or its members, therefore, it is
stated, is liable to the creditors to the
full extent of its obligations.
Held Off for Some Time.
Mr.. Gray, a member of the firm of
lnman Co., states in connection
with the application in bankruptcy
that they had prevailed upon the
creditors to hold off until every pos
slDle means was exhausted to see if it
could not be averted. Now that the
creditors have instituted the proceed :
lngs Mr.. Gray says there will be no
resistance against the application and
that the firm of Inman & Co. is ready
TO cooperate in securing an econom-
zeal administration of the firm S
affairs.
This failure grows out of the long
continued depression in the cotton
market, and the further fact that Mr..
walker P. Inman during his life time
always Endorsed literally for his firm
and lent it the full force of his great
credit. Mr.. Inmans death last No.
vember has rendered it impossible for
the firm to have the benefit of this
powerful assistance, and the con-
tinued depression in the cotton mar
ket has brought the firm to it's pres
ent embarrassed position.
The debts and assets each aggre-
gate something over a million and a
quarter dollars. 1t is difficult to say
just how they stand, as the daily
fluctuations in the market affects the

SNAKES VENOM USED TO CURE INSANITY

his Brazilian agents to get a healthy
specimen of the lancehead at any
cost, 1t was many months before one
could be obtained. And then another
obstacle was met. The Portuguese
sailors on the ships plying between
New York and Brazilian ports have
healthy horror of the lancehead, and
when DR.. Runyon's agents attempted
to get the snake aboard a mutiny was
threatened. While waiting for ship
which would consent to take the
snake to New York the first specimen
died.
Some months passed, and another
was obtained near the mouth of the
Amazon. But again the agent was
unable to get ship to bring it north
ward. For several weeks he tried,
but in the end failed, and the snake
was killed. Of late even more urgent
orders have been sent by DR.. Run
yon, and his Brazilian agent was
nearly in despair.
Specimen Finally Arrives.
Then the third snake was cap
tured and this time the agent sought
out a friend, in command of the
Brazilian liner Acre. The captain
agreed to take personal charge of a
strong wooden box containing the
lancehead, or "the sudden DEATH" as
it is called by the natives of northern
Brazil. He kept the snake in his
cabin and the sailors knew nothing
of its presence on board.
This is said to be the first lance
head viper ever brought into the
United States. 1t has not eaten any
thing since it was captured, more
than a month ago in Brazil and is
not expected to live long. However,
as yet it shows no signs of weakness,
though the operation for extracting
it's poison usually has a facilitating
effect.
Scientists say that a human being
lives only one or two minutes after
the lancehead's poison enters the
body. The venom seems to paralyze
the action of the heart and the victim
stiffens and turns black. An OK, when
bitten by the lancehead, dies in less
than five minutes.
The poison extracted from the pres
ent specimen is expected to last so
years. The small quantity of virus
obtained is adulterated with milk or
sugar and separated into minute pOr-
tions which are sealed in very small
tubes for distribution among the
medical men in this country and
abroad.
