Snre Cure For RattIer's Bite

The rattlesnake has part all his own

snake oil cures rheumatism and the
stitfened joints a man gets working

the ears cures deafness. and a. rattle
snake skin, tanned soft and supple as
chamois and worn around the waist,
will keep a man we'll ON the hardest trip
but the dust from the rattles will cause
blindness, which nothing will cure, says
writer in the Outing Magazine ..
There is a plant which the rattlesnake
fears-he will not crawl across it, and
If dropped on him he uncoils and crawls
away. Perhaps this is only bit of
myth, but every desert man knows the
golondrina-the. creeping plant with the
tiny round, gray-green leaves and
minute white blossoms with a brown
center. .-.
"Rattlesnake weed" as it is called,
grows in the little open spaces from the
pines to the white sand hills that shift
back and forth in each years wind
The leaves pounded into wet mass are
bound on a snake bit, and the victim

whole plant is stepped. The golondrina
tea is used Us liniment, for rheu-

know that it dyes Gotten cloth an en-

If the golondrina is too far to find
there is another desert cure for any
snake bite-a cure we'll enough attested
and with which many an Indian has
fought bullet wound and saber cut and
mastered incipient blood poisoning.
The leaves of any fatleaved opunsia,
but especially the common pricl1ly pear,
are thrown on a camp fire till the thorns
are skinned off and the skin puffs up in
watery blisters, then split open and
bound hot on the wound. So many a

saved to do it's owner good service on

the Federal troops here would be con-
centrated to defend the city of Homo
lulu.
Later, and not so far off either, you
will find that the windward side OF
the island will to considerable ex-
tent be fortified, for in the neighbor-
hood of the Pail there will be placed
great guns which will have a sweep
that will cover the coast line to be
seen from that position.
AS to the possibility of a night at
tack by ships, within two or three
years powerful searchlights will be
placed on Diamond Head and elsewhere
to guard against such approaches.
AT the present time, of course, there
is no defense against the approach of
an enemy's ships, but there are enough
troops on the island to handle two or
three times their number which might
attempt to land, providing the process
of landing was not observed.

tion of this island Is even greater than
has ever been officially urged
This is the point for the people

it is a case of the most thorough for

Oahu would be better off, in the
event of q war without a single gun
or a single soldier than to be forti-
fled and yet not thoroughly fortified.
THE reason is clear. Suppose there
were no troops and no Notifications
here, an enemy, without resistance
would merely seize the town and isl
