he was yelling for doctor. There
was more excitement, and several per-

time the snake owner had been
found and he came rushing into the
dining-room With the help OF a
blanket, which was laid on the floor
and a rabbits tail. the snake was sub
dued. The reptile was placed on the
blanket and the owner waved a rab-
HRS tail until the big boa constructor
coi,ed up and was placed in the box.
Tho box was nailed and tied with
ropes. and the unfortunate owner of
the reptile was ordered to find a new
hotel.
The damage done by the reptile
amounted to about SIS. which the

At the hight of her success she met
Lord Francis Hope. He became In.

the Duchess of Newcastle had left
him a large fortune, and he stood to

May Yohe in new plays. and showered
more than $4,000 worth of jewels

Carbolic acid, II taken in too large

pain in the mouth, throat and aldo

heart depressant and If enough has
been taken, the person soon goes into
stage of collapse and unconscious

What to Do
Before the
Doctor Comes


In general, poisons may be divided
,nto two classes, Cd corrosive or irri-
tont nelson's, those which injure a per-
son or cause death by their local ac-
t,on of destroying the tissues; (2)
nervous or systemic poisons, those
vbieh produce their i'll effects by their
action on the nervous system at
large.
Some of the more common irritant
nelson's are: 1. Arsenic. in its va
rious forms as white arsenic, Paris
green. rat-poisons, poison fly paper.
and various vermin exterminators: ..
carbolic acid (phenol) which, although
probably among the most Irritating of
poisons and producing death after the
most agonizing suffering, is. strange
TO say, very frequently selected for
the purpose OF committing suicide; 8
Phosphorus, which Is found in various
rat.poisons and in match heads; a.
Strong acids such as sulphuric mu-
riatic. and nitric acids: and 5. Strong
alkalies as caustic soda, caustic pot
ash, lime I've and strong ammonia.
Among the systemic poisons are: l.
Opium, In its various forms as NOR.
phine, codeine. laudanum, paregoric,
and black drop: 2. strychnine; 3. bella
donna: 4. alcohol. which although so
commonly used, Is nothing more nor
less than poison, and In the quanti-
ties usually taken, produces its effects
by really poisoning the system; 5.
ptomains. which are formed in spoiled
or partially decayed foodstuffs.
The pofsons produce their injurious
and sometimes fatal results in various
ways The irritant poisons all have
destructive action on the tissues with
which they come In contact. If left In
the stomach or intestines for any
length of time, they are very liable to
perforate their walls and so set up a
peritonitis. which IS very frequently
fatal If perforation does not occur,

normal tissue has been destroyed. al
ways contracts In time. and may do so
TO such an extent that an obstruction
10 the digestive trace may be the re-
suit, Some of the systemic poisons
kill by over stimulation, others by de-
pressing the vital functions and others
by paralyzing them. There are few
poisons which are at the same time
both irritant and systemic in their
actions
The diagnosis of poisoning is some
times very difficult, but at other times
ii Is quite evident If after taking
something either as medicine or food
the person suddenly begins to feel
very much different from what he did

be thought Of Sometimes there are
