The Deadly ‘Vcnom Used by the Apaches and Flutes. “Rattlesnakes are the chief element in the poisons of the. Apache and Piute Indians. " “The desert rattlesnake is a dreadful enough customer any day in tin: year, but during August takes on the [unless of its frightfulness, both in :Imzcurancc and in conduct. About the middle of August, when the weather is insuf- ferablyhot, this snake becomes blontrd from some cause until it is a third larger than its normal size. Its appear; ance is as if the snake had been blown up like a bladder or charged with gas like a balloon. “A Piute Indian who wants to lay in a stock of poison for his arrows kills at this time of year enough of these rattlesnakes for his purpose. Ho cuts ofi their heads and takes them to his lodge. He places in one of the rude earthen vessels that; are among the Piute household effects ten 0' a- dozen of these snake heads. To them he adds perhaps a pint of tarantula killers, as the big hairy Texan or Mexi-b can spider is called; or, rather, he puts snake heads. This spider has a sting that injects a poison powerful enough to kill almost instantly a tarantula, which is itself about as poisonous a member of the animal kingdom as one would care to meet. The poison sac of the tarantula killer is in the lower abdomen of the insect, and it is this that the Piute brave mixes with his rattlesnake head. He then pours in a pint of water, seals the lid of the ves- sel on with moist clay, and places the vessel in a pit. where he has made a bed of red—hot coals. He buries the vessel in these coals, andybcsides that, builds a blazing fire on top of it. This fire is kept burning fiercely for several hours, when it is swept away. and the Indian digs his veSSel out of the (coals. With a long pole he knocks the lid off, and does not venture near the pot until the steam that arises from it has en~ tirely ceased to appear. After the fiery ordeal to which the snake heads are put, brownish residuum is found at the bottom of the kettle. The Piute tests this poison before trusting his arrows to it. He cuts a gash in the fleshy part of his leg and ‘fl- ' grees Fahrenheit. draws the blood, which lie-allows to trickle down the leg. When the redl stream has run six or seven inches he dips a stick into the poison and touches K it to the lower end of the bloody streak. If the 'poison is all right it actually burns the blood almost like hot iron touched-'to water, and rapidly runs up the trickling stream. The In- dian has his knife ready and scrapes the poison off dry. If: it was permitted to reach the wound it would be all up with the Piute. The arrows are dip- ped into the poison, and the Indian feels that whatever such an arrow hits had much better not have been born. The Apache collects his poison in a much simpler way. He places the from a victim sometimes not yet dead, in front of a snake, within easy strik- ing distance. The snake protests against the presence of the object and Quickly sinks its fangs into it again and again. In a few seconds the heart or liver will take on a purplish black hue, so quickly does this poison affect it. When the Indian thinks the receptacle has drawn all the venom from the snake’s head it is removed and hung up in the sun. It is left there until it is almost ready to drop to pieces from putridity. After he has jabbed his arrow heads into the putrid and poison-charged heart or liver they are ready for use.” .__.,.___,..., 'I CHARGED BY A cow Moos—r:— Now Anderson Disbelieves Stories of the Power ef the Human Eye Over Beasts. It is the belief of George Anderson, a trapper up in Maine, that all the stories he has read about how wild beasts have been cowed by the steady, unvarying gaze of a man are nonsense. this belief is a result of an experience he had with a cow moose on the little branch of Riffie Creek. Anderson was looking after some traps he had set for mink and marten, and his only weapon was a 22 calibre rifle. He walking along a ridge beside the stream when about fifteen yards away he saw what appeared to be a rabbit. Drawing down on it with his. rifle he fired, whereupon a big, ungain- ly moose calf jumped up from the brush and .stood .still bellowing with pain and fear. . The trapper was so startled that he forgot to work the little grip that throws new shells into his rifle. Five seconds after he had shot a big cow moose came through the woods on the run and, without stopping to lick the calf, 'as a bear would have done to a wounded cub, she made for the man. She was too close to be escaped by climbing or running. Anderson’s mind worked fast, and he decided at once that his only hope was to stampede the cow by gazing at her severely. He gazed all right, and thinks that he looked more severe than scared, but the moose kept right on coming with her eyes twinkling and looking straight at him. Anderson began to be wor- ried by the time she was ten‘ feet away. He realized that so far as stop- ping a charging cow moose is con- cerned the human eye isn’t what it has been cracked up to be. The man turned to jump and the moose butted him on the right hip and knocked him a good three rods down the back of the ridge, landing him out of sight in the brush. Both moose went away and Anderson limped home and sleeps on his left side now. He—“Can I bring you anything, Miss Clara '2” I ' ' ' She—“Oh, yes; brilig meiudifiéboay. l nice to talk to!” ' HEATABLE _ SHOE FOR— WIN-TERI: Cold Feet a Thing of the Past and Grumb- , lers Must Find Some};0ther Subject. 'Cold‘feet are an afiiiction'common to the human race. Many :plans have been tried to attract a shy and retir— ing blood circulation to the extremi- ‘ ties, but none has afforded any but the merest temporary relief. The cold- feet brigade may take heart, however, for a benefactor has arisen in the per- son of Paul Wonneberger, of Gruna, near Dresden, who has invented what he calls “Heatable shoes.” Wonneberger has devised a heatable shoe, which is now being worn by cold- footed Europeans. and may soon be looked for on this side of the water. This novel remedy for cold. feet con- sists of a tiny boiler and furnace in the heel and sole of the shoe, which causes a continuous circulation of— warm water around the extremities. Within the heel of the heatable shoe, which is hollowed out for the purpose, the inventor has‘placed a glowing sub- stance similar in its nature to that used in the familiar Japanese hand- warmers. The soles of the shoe are hollowed out for the reception of a rubber bag covered with asbestos. and containing the water that keeps the feet warm. This water communicates with the receptacle in. the heel of the shoe, and derives its heat from the heated sub- stance located there. When the owner of a pair of heatable shoes wishes to go out into the cold and sloppy street he opens the receptacle in the heel of the shoe, lights the punk-like sub- stance, closes the perforated band that holds it in place, and then sallies forth to bid defiance to his old enemy, the chills. Walking keeps the water circulating, and at every step the grateful warmth is felt, the upper, as well as the lower. surface of the feet feeling its effects. There is no danger of the feet being uncomfortably warmed. for the water cannot be heated by the tiny furnace in the heel to a heat more than 70 de- The inventor has provided against the bursting of the little boiler by the insertion in the soles of a small safety valve. The shoes are a trifle heavier than the ordinary ones. The sole is but very little thicker than that of the wet- weather shoe sold by New York deal- ers. The inventor is at work on a new shoe that will be no heavier than the ordinary one—New York W'orld. THE INTUITIOI’I OF A CHILD. How She Quieted the Rough llIiners at a Time of Great Excitement. At the time of the terrible accident a year or two ago at the coal~mines near Scranton, Pennsylvania, several men were buried for three days, and all efforts to rescue them proved un- successful. A spectator wrote—“The majority of the miners were Germans. They were in a state of intense excite- ment, caused by sympathy for the wives and children of the buried men and despair at their own baulked ef- forts. A great mob of ignorant men and women assembled at the mouth ,of the mine on the evening of the third day in a condition of high ner- vous tension which fitted them for any mad act. A sullen murmur arose that it was folly to dig further, that the men were dead; and this was followed by cries of rage at the rich mine-own- ers. who were in no way responsible for the accident. A hasty word 01' ges- ture might have produced an outbreak of fury. Standing near was a little German girl, perhaps eleven years old. Her pale face and frightened glances from side to side showed that she fully understood the danger of the moment. Suddenly. with a great effort, she be- gun to sing in a hoarse whisper, which could not be heard. "hen she gained courage. and her sweet childish voice rang out in Luther's grand old hymn, familiar to every German from his cradle—‘A mighty fortress is our God.’ There was a silence like death. Then one voice joined the girl‘s, and pre- sently another and another, until the whole great multitude were singing. A great quiet seemed/to fall upon theiI hearts. They resumed their work with fresh zeal, and before morning the joy- ful cry came up from the pit that the men were found‘aliveh Never was a word more in season that that child’s hymn.” The Jury System in JustiI-es’ Courts. A There are men who are nearly al- ways in trouble with their neighbors and to whom a lawsuit is a perpetual delight. There are likewise justices, not a few, who are not above granting warrants and. civil summonses in cases scarcely worthy of notice, that the ac- cruing fees may flow into their pock- ets. Either plaintiff or defendant may demand a jury trial, in which case “twelve good men and true,” the ma- jority of whom have ever tried their best to avoid litigation. are summoned to leave their own interests. which may mean much to them, and spend the day in listening to a dreary action brought by one man against another. in many cases merely to satisfy a per- sonal spite. If the case in hand be a civil suit, 'the juryman “drawn on” gets the magnificent compensation of 25 cents, of not drawn. he gets noth- ing and pays his own expenses. Should the action be brought “in brhalf of the people,” no compensation is allowed in either event, no matter what his time is worth were the juryman left to his own devices.
