Cure for Snake Bite.

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites, but
surely none can be more SO than @
way Of which our Bhavnagar CORE.
spondent informs us. Two natives in
a village near that station were, he
says, brought back to life after being
bitten by cobra
The victims were seated ON the
ground and then held, while from q
height Of 16 feet gallons and gallons
of hot water were poured on their
heads. Presently, according to the cor
respondent, the victims took new
lease of life," and are now as we'll as
though they had never been in the
jaws of death.
The explanation to this "cure" prob
ably is that the snake. as often hap
pens. bit its victims, but injected no
poison into them. Thus the men were
merely frightened, and continued to
be frightened until the pain caused by
the douche of hot water gave them
something else to think about.-Gvil

JUST A RACIAL REGULARITY
Theory That Lett-Handed People Are
Mentally Inferior Has Been
Proved to Be Wrong.

For ages the belief has prevailed
that left-handed persons are physical
ly and mentally inferior This belief
has persisted in face of the fact that
not few great men. including among
others Leonardo da vinci, nave been
left-handed.
German scientists, however, declare
there is absolutely no evidence to sup
port the theory that some relation
exists between left-handedness and
mental or physical defects. 1t is a
racial or family popularity which is
found among animals as well as hui.

In the Germany army seven recruits

the Great Spirit Tapped up the mighty
rivers of the plains he left springs and
water basins here and there for che
