Spraying with the lime-sulphur solu

do farmer living up Wicomico creek
from here, and that it is responsible
Tor the death Of the little one no one
doubts for a moment, a White Ha-
ven (Md.) correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record says.
For several weeks Mrs. Tull had
noticed that her baby, which was
nearly year old, consumed IN I'M
usually large quantity Of milk with
out deriving any benefit from it (: in
fact, the more milk the baby con-
sumed the thinner in flesh it became.
Local physicians declared that il was
the strangest case that ever had been
brought to their attention.
While in the kitchen preparing the
monday meal the other day Mrs
Tull heard her baby cooling and
laughing in the sitting room "a
though some one were in there
playing the clown" When Mrs
looked in to see who it was that was
creating so much mirth for her little
one she beheld coiled up in the crib
by the side Of her baby a fve-foot
blaclSnake, with the rubber connect
ed with the nursing bottle in its
mouth, holding it's tail aloft and
whirling it around as if to amuse
the baby while it stole the dinner.
In jify the snake was dis
patched. When it was taken out Of
The room the child seemed to realize
that it would never return and gave
every evidence Of having lost it's only
playmate and companion, and from
that time on the baby wasted away
even more rapidly than before. until
few days ago, when it died.
