WHAT TO 90 IN CASE OF SNAKE
BITE.

Promptness is the most important
factor in the operation, says A. s.
Williams in the Boys Life, the Boy
Scouts Magazine. Tie any string or
strip around the finger, toe or limb
between the punctures and the heart
and with a nail, stick or anything
available through the knot, twist the
ligature until the circulation is stop
ped. Victim OF operator should then
suck and expectorate the poisoned
blood from the wound, with cessation
occasionally to loosen the tissues by
kneading the flesh; If a sharp knife
is available first make two cross cuts
as deep as the punctures. Courage,
calmness and exercise following this
treatment should enable the victim to
reach a physician In favorable condi
ton for additional treatment. But
every Scout Master leading boys into
a region where poisonous snakes may
possibly exist should carry a small
vial of permanganate of potash; a
very few grains of this in a pint of
water will approximate q n or two
per cent solution with which to satur-
ate the wound and clean bandages
over it. AS soon as available the ad-
ministration of any cathartic, laxative,
aperient or anything that will stimu-
late the secretions Of the body might
help to free the system from the pois-
on.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 10.-Il-
literacy in this country in Colonial
days Is a subject discussed In an hist
orical bulletin soon to be Issued for
free distribution by the United States
Bureau OF Education. The data were
gathered by an examination of sigma
lures to the extant legal and other
documents Of olonial days, for the
purpose of ascertaining the number
OF signers who had to make their
marks. While the data are not alto
getner conclusive they seem to indi-
cate that Massachusetts occupied the
most advanced educational position in
the seventeenth century, while Virgin
la brings UP the The Dutch Of
New York and the Germans of Pen
nsylvania occupy middle positions.
These are all the colonies for which
data have been compiled in the Blu
reau OF Education's bulletin.
The monograph says, in part:
"At Albany of $50 mems names ex-
amined, covering the years from 1854
to 1875, Fl per cent made their marks.
OF 231 mems signatures at Flatbush,
covering a longer period, 10 per cent
made their marks. OF the German
male immigrants above 16 years OF
age who am to Pennsylvania In the
first half of the eighteenth century,
1923 names have been counted, with
the result of 26 per cent who made
their marks.
"A significant result appeared from
our study of illiteracy, namely, that
the male Dutch inhabitants of Flat.
bush made continuous Improvement
in this respect, the percentage of H.
literacy decreasing gradually from 40
per cent in 1875 to about 6 per cent
in 1738."

seventeenth century Virginians indi-
Gates that Of 2,165 male adults who
signed jury lists, 46 per cent made

CURING THE HAY CROP.

The haying season is at hand, ant
methods for curing hay are again un
der consideration. 1t is impossible,
to prescribe a method that can be sue
cessfully followed by everyone Wit
has hay to make. The best results
will be obtained, SO far as quality ant
feeding value are concerned, by cut
ting the hay early. Glover cut in full
bloom, and timothy cut just as com
ing into bloom, will make the bes'
quality of hay, and be comparatively
free from dust. A slight loss II
|! weight will be made in this way, but
the improvement in feeding value will
quite make up for this small loss
The weather is always a prime factor
in haymaking. The advantage Of
bright, sunny days for whiting the hay
should be secured If possible. 1t is a
mistake, however, to leave the hay
either timothy or clover. exposed to
the rays of the sun very long. AS soon
as withered, it should be turned over
and put up in medium sized cocks
to cure. When we'll cooked and set.
tied, it may stand for several days,
ever through moderate rains, withou,
serious damage. Before Putting in the
barn the hay cocks should be opened
up to the sun q couple Of hours In al
vance, and the hay hauled to the barn
or stack.
A combination of the tedder, side
delivery rake and loader will wilt the
hay and dry 1t sufficiently, usually, so
that it need not be cooked. On small
hay fields, however. where extensive
equipment is not available, hand meth
DDS must be resorted to-. The tedder
is a usuful and valuable implement,
even on small fields, and should be
used whenever possible.
In curing clover and alfalfa hay, the
canvass cock-covers can be used to
advantage; and, if we'll cared for they
will last many seasons. The improve
ment in quality of the hay, secured in
their use in a single season, may quite
cover the first cost. The time requir-
edired to put them on and take them
off is not a serious matter when the
covers are weighted at the corners
with cement slugs, thus o%bviating the
necessity Of stalking down or fasten.

General Nelson A. Miles, in an ad.

1T was my duty some years ago
to visit the principal penitentiaries
OF this country, when the Government
was about to establish an institution
for the s~afe-keeping Of those sentenc-
ed by the federal, civil and military
courts. The universal report of the
wardens and keepers and the prison
ers themselves was that the great ma
jority Of the crimes Of the unfOrtun-
ate men were committed when they
were under the influence of liquor.
Those who were really responsible
for this terrible record OF crime and
misery r the persons who day by
day and year by year nave manufac.
tured and sold this accursed poison
and yet call themselves respectable.
when the state shall make these
men responsible, she will get at the
source of the evil. When she shall
put a tax upon the manufacture and
sale of liquor equal { the cost of the
asylums and penitentiaries the use
of liquor requires and the desOlation
it produces, she will stop the traffic

A Glimpse into Kansas Ledger.
Figures may be embarrassing, but
when they are studied carefully they
are more convincing than general
statements of facts. C. w. Trickett,
special assistant attorney general Of
Kansas, said recently In his address
on "Our Creates Enemy" as reported
in the Atchison Church Visitor: "A
saloon is either a good thing or a bad
thing. II It is a good thing, the rec
ords Of the state will show 1t. There
are 100000 persons in Missouri and
/, 500, 900 in Kansas. If the saloon has
made o money for Missouri, your
cities should show it in Improvements.
There are a number of cities in Mis-
couri ~ moro than A000 inhabitants
without paved streets. I defy any
one to find a city Of 1900 population
in Kansas which does not have paved
streets and an electric light plant.
"A short time ago I got the records
and found that the tax rolls showed
the total assessed property in Mis-.
souri, is 5 ,650,000, 900. In Kansas,
where we have had prohibition for
thirty years, the amount is $2,750, 0O0,-
900. In thirty years, from the poorest
state in the country, 1t has come to be
the richest. A few years ago, during
the panic, Kansas banks sent $50,OOO,.1
900 to the East, but Missouri did not
send a dollar. Kansas has organized
more banks in the last five years than
any other state. In Missouri there Is
one motor car for every 100 farmers,
one for every 3. in Iowa, and one for
every 5 in Kansas.
kansas has paid proportionately
twice as much for education as has
Missouri.

fIuenCed TO Give Confession
While Drugged

ST PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 20.-ln
Ramsey county district court the
Northern Pacific railroad has started
to try to prove that man who con-
fessed participating in the robbery OF
the oompany's North Coast Limited
train near Buffalo, N. D., July 10,
1911, who pleaded guilty to train rob-
berry and is now serving a fifteen
year sentence in the state prison at
Bismarck, N. d., is innocent Of the
crime. The man, who now claims he
is serving time for crime he never
committed, is George Young, also
known as Pat Grove, criminal
whose reputation is known to police
all over the country and who is want
ed by the Illinois authorities for break
ing his parole from the state prison
at Joliet, Ill.
Opposing the efforts of the railroad
company to show Young innocent OF
the crime he confessed, is Henry
Burr, police officer of Neenah, Wis,
who arrested Young in Neenah, in
September 1911, who obtained
Young's confession and who claims
a reward of $500 offered by the COM
pany. If Young is guilty Burr is en-
titled to the reward. If he is inno-
cent and his conviction was obtained,
as the company asserts, by frame
up with the Neenah police, the COM
pany will not be compelled to pay
the reward The question will be
placed before Ramsey county jur!
to decide

In many ways the case is one of the
most unusual in the history Of Min

teresting legal phases, it involves the
story of one of the boldest train rob.

west. On it's outcome may depend
whether George Young stays in the
state prison at Bismarck for fourteen
more years. Young himself now says
that he is innocent Of the train rob

deposition taken behind the prison
walls, will be an important part OF
