A few seasons ago. says n prominent

together and said:

equally well In the boat. but ono has n

that one OF you has little moro per.

THE BITE OF A SNAKE.
How TO Tell II II is Poisonous and the
Way to Treat II.

Way to Treat u.
If you should be so unfortunate az TO
be bitten by a snake and were not
quite certain what sort of q snake Il
wus, whether poisonous or of the so
called harmless variety, look Mt the In
jury. If there are four punctures or
even three the chances are that it was
not a venomous snake, but IL there are
only two punctures It is probable y9u
have been bitten by an extremely poi
sonous snake. While this does not al
ways hold good. as a nonpoisonous
snake may have hnd opportunity to
make only two incisions with his four
biting teeth, 1t Is best to take no
chances at all.
The poisonous snake has but two
deadly fangs, generally In the upper
Jaw. But. no matter what sort of a
snake bites you, the head OF that snake
should wherever possible be kept for
Identification. If, as is generally the
cnse, the bite Is on an extremity, tie
one or more ligatures-preferably Of
broad rubber bands-above the injury.
Incise deeply. cutting across the pune
ture for at least one inch and well be-
yond the depth reached by the fang.

FACIAL PLASTER CASTS.
Having One Of Them Made Is Mighty
Disaureeable Process.

Perhaps nothing can be imagined
more disagreeable than the process Of
taking a plaster impression of the fea-
lures.
The person whose face is TO be
taken" Is placed fat upon his back.
his hair smoothed back with pomatum
to prevent It covering any part of the
face, and a conical piece of paper, a
straw or a quill put in each nostril to
breathe through. The eyes and mouth
are then closed, and the entire face
completely and carefully covered with
salad oil.
The plaster, mixed TO a proper con-
sistency, is then poured over the fea.
lures TO the thickness of one-quarter
or one-half inch.
In three or four minutes this plaster
can be taken Off as II Il were a film.
but they are very long minutes. The
victim must not sneeze, smile, cough
or otherwise move muscle, or the
whole process will have TO be repeated.
When n cast Of the entire head or of
the whole human figure Is required,
either a cast of the face IL added TO
mass Of clny which is to be modelled to
the entire figure, or the whole figure
ia modelled from drawings prepared for
the purpose. This Is the work of the
sculptor.
When the clay model Is finished
mould IL made from Il. A thin ridge
OF clay Is laid along the figure from the
head TO the base. and the front Is FIRST
completed up to the ridge by filing up
tho depresslons two or three inches
deep.
The ridge Of clay Is now removed,
the edges of the plaster are oiled, and
the other half is done in a similar way
The two halves nre then tied together
with cords. and the plaster poured In.

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY H. C. WILSON.

Brothers Dawson and Fryman
attended chapel exercises last
Monday morning and Brother
Dawson gave in a very helpful,
edifying talk. We always well
come visitors either with or with
out a message for the uplift of
the school. Their very presence
is an encouragement both to the
teachers and the pupils.
New students are still coming
in and we are expecting several
more to enter this week.
Prof. Williams has a room full
of splendid young men and women
and they all seem to be delighted
with their instructor and their
work. In fact all the depart
ments of the school are running
smoothly and are doing splendid
work, and do not think it is an
exaggeration to say that, taken
as a whole, the school is doing
better work now than ever before.
A parent Teachers Association
was organized last Friday after
noon which will hold its next
meeting at 3o'clock Friday after

earnest talks were given by both
the teachers and parents present

of the parents, especially the
mothers. While we did not have
