Facts and FanCies
Concerning Snakes.

In view of the general lnteres
taken by our readers in the sub
jeet Of rattle-snakes, of which E
specimen measuring over 6;
inches, was killed and brough
to town by D. e. Sheridan a, few
days ago, we give space to the
following contribution:
Rattle-snakes are venomous
A person whose upper or lower
limb has been bitten by g
rattle-snake will die or suffer
the loss of a limb by the fest

less properly treated. OF the
several expediencies used, such
as the subcutaneous injections
of solutions of potash, permanga
nate of potassium; the oral ad'
ministratiQn of spirit Of am
monia mot water of ammonia or
spirit Of hartshon); or the imbib.
ing of brandy, whisky or alcohol,
as an antidote, to the point OF
intoxication: none are positively
certain. Other expediencies are
legation and authorization. The
first is a method of binding, OF
ligating, the bitten limb at a
place above the wound. A stout
cord or bandage tightly wound
around the upper part of the
leg or arm. where but one bone
supports the tissues, will OBJ.

from the wound to the heart.
Surgical treatment of the swell.
ing which follows the legation
may result happily. Another
method is to cauterize the wound
with the filamental electrode of
a galvanic battery or by a metal
rod heated to Wilderness. The
temperature produced in the
electrode or in the rod, as stated,
is painless yet sufficient to cicat-
rize the wound and dissipate the
poison. Ii the cauterization is
performed before the poison is
extensively distributed in the
circulation of the blood the VIC
tim will recover. Still another
method is suction. Sucking the
poison out of the wound by the
mouth of the victim or d compan-
ion is harmless unless the suck
er's lip, tongue or mouth is sore
or punctured.

In discussing the matter, we not only guaranteed the good faith of the roads in putting into effect any awards which might follow our negotiations, but we sug- gested that a commission. permanent or otherwise, be established so that all disagreements, arising out of a misunderstanding or misapplication of an award might be speedily and ami cably settled.'
