His Ayocation Is a Rattlesnake Farm

DENVEK.-W1lllam A. Bevan, eiec-
II trician at the Lacombe station OF
the Denver Gas and Electric Light
company, conducts snake farm IN
West Denver as an avOcation. Gagged
In the back yard are rattlesnakes and
copperheads. They are the subjects
for experiments being made by two
Denver physicians.
Soon after the snakes arrive at the
farm venom is taken from their fangs
by forcing them to squirt it through a
gauze stretched over the top OF tum-
bier. The sticky mass is then spread
on small sheets of glass to dry. Within
a few hours it changes into brittle ye:-
low crystals and is collected in cap
sules. With the contents Of these cap
sules the local doctors are now work
ing, hoping to create a market for the
venom of the local poisonous reptiles
and thereby save those physicians who
pay $500 an ounce for cobra venom In
Paris.
.'The old theory that whisky does
any good is all bunk-it only acts OF
the nervous system and has no neu
tralizing effect whatever" says Bevan

HEALING ART OF OLD CHINESE
Abundant Sroof That They Were Fa~
miIiar With Anesthesia Many
Thl sands of Years Ago.

The artificial induction of painless
ness by narcotic draughts was tradl"
tionally known in ancient times, writes
DIR. Charles Balance in the London
Lancet.
The Chinese were acquainted with
general anesthesja thousands or
years ago. 1t is related of Surgeon
Hoathe in the Third century A. D. that
he performed amputatiOn, trephinin9
and other major operations by its aid.
Doctor Browne relates two cases OK
anesthesia taken from Persian
manuscript The first story concerns
Aristotle and an Indian surgeon named
Sarnab. An earwig had entered the
patients ear and attached itself to
the brain. Aristotle gave the patient
the drug so that he became uncon-
scious while Sarnab trephined the
skull. This was excellent treatment.
It is now we'll known that living for
eign bodies may produce otitis and
| meningitis. In the second case the op-
| GRAFTON was Caesarian section.

drain out the blood through the bite.
"After this either inject. hypoder-
mically, a / per cent solution OF po-
tassium permanganate around the bite
or rub it with chronic acid crystals" :"
He says that the young OF rattle
snakes are born alive, while other
snakes lay eggs; that new rattle IS
formed every four or five months; that
they shed their teeth periodically and'
therefore, the pulling of the fangs
would not render them harmless.
A book is to be compiled by Bevan.
Much of his material has been Cleaned
from his farm, the peculiar inhabitants
Of which are the pets Of his wife and
three children. His three little girls
play with an armful of snakes with the
same abandon that the average child
would play with kitten.

CHICAGO AGAIN CLAIMS LEAD
This Time II Is for the Meanest Man,
and He Surely Has "Some"
Qualifications!

Another "meanest man" has Deen
found. He was discovered In a north
bound elevated express. He had re-
mained seated although woman stood
swaying on strap in front OF him.
The train was standing at the Fuller
ton avenue station when he jumped
to his feet, apparently realizing sud
denly that his destination had Deen
reached. He started for the door.
When the man quit his seat IT was,
logically, taken by the woman. Not
for long, however, did she hold 1t. A
second later he was back-obviously
having spotted the. station name
through the open door.
"Pardon me-" he said, "that wasn't
my station"
And he allowed the woman to rise

NeU Railroad Schedule
In Effect Tomorrow

AS was noted in these columns a
new schedule for passenger trains
will take effect at midnight tomor-
row. As has already been stated 4
number of important changes have
been made and in addition TO this
new trains have been added, all Of
which will be of vast Importance to
the travelling public. Under exist
ing circumstances the railroad COM
pany does not feel able to publish
their schedule in the county papers
and as a matter of fact the patrons
Of this great corporation have no
means of acquainting themselves with
the new order of things. We simply
call attention of our readers TO the
fact of these changes and suggest
that any who may want to catch a
II ain get in touch with the nearest
railroad station and ascertain from
the agent the leaving hour Of their
desired train.

erts, of Prince Georges county, who
voted against it. The measure, be-
fore the final vote was taken, had
been amended so that all women de
string to serve on juries would have
to file petitions for service with the
various clerks of courts. Several CT
the Eastern delegates were unable to
express their opinions on these two
bills because of the fact that they
were detained in the bay on a steamer
with broken wheel. Among these
was delegate Samuel NJ. Crockett, of
this county.
AS this letter is being written
House Bill No. 6, known as the pro-
hibition enforcement act, is about to
come up for consideration. Several
days ago this bill was made the spec
ial order of the day for 1890 o'clock,
Thursday February 23d. This bin
will surely attract as much, if not
more, attention as any measure that
las been considered during the SEES
sion. The measure as it was first
drafted was very drastic one, so
much so that there has been much
opposition to it even by some of those
who are lined up on the dry side. 1t
is said today that the Anti-Saloon
League, fearing that the drastic ma
ture of the bill will imperil its pas
sage, has decided when the bill comes
up for consideration today will make
several amendments to it in order
tc try to meet the approval of some
CT their more conservative friends.
The Governor has sent to the Sen
ate the list of civil appointments re-
CURED of him by the constitution.
This letter is written too early to give
the list for our county to our readers.
They will probably get them in our
next issue.
Speaking of the Governor, he has
been in his office at the State House
every day this week for short while.
Monday was his first day out since
the 9th of Jan. His cxcellency looks
well but he has not yet regained hic
former strength. He is doing only
light work and takes just enough OK
ercise to keep him in trim. His
friends from all over the State will
be glad to learn that he is out again
and the members of both houses of
the General Assembly of Maryland
hail his return to the State House
with delight.
We were pleased to see several Po-
comoke City people in the Capital
city this week as well as several from
Snow Hill and other parts of the
county. 1t does one good to see home
folks and we assure them they al
ways have a hearty welcome from
the representatives of Worcester in
both the Senate and the House CT
Delegates of Maryland. Come again,
gentlemen.

The Weather Man
Did Us Good This Week

The weather man did this section a
good job of it this week and he has
the congratulations of an apprecia-
tive people. The contrast as COM
pared with the other weeks in Feb
ruary was so great that one could
not help but appreciate the great
change. 1t is to be hoped that good
conditions will continue to prevail
and that ere long our people will be
able to begin pitching their crops.
