A STRANGE DISCOVERY.
Tim Bile of a Serpent Proves an Antidote
for Its Bite. ‘
Another very effective agency for
0' ercoming the venom of serpents has
been discovered by Professor Thomas
R. Fraser, of the University of Edin-
burgh. The new antidote is nothing
more or less than the serpent’s own
bile. .
Precisely how he obtained his clew
the Edinburgh savant does not say.
But he incidentally remarks that some
of the native snake doctors in Africa
have a remedy, compounded Of several
substances, of which one is snake bile,
and they are accustomed to administer
it not only by introducing it into the
patien-t’s stOmIach (where it is proba-
bly =without effect), but also by rub-
bing it into the wound, where it would
be absorbed into the blood. It is
probable, therefore, that this wonder-
' ful provision of nature, which compels
a serpent to secrete in one part of its
system, a cure for the poison that it
secretes in. another, has long been
known in some of those countries
Where the information is most likely
to prove beneficial to mankind. —New

He H111. Preached Sixty Years.’
Elde1 Tice Spear is the oldest
Christian preacher within our knowl~
edge. Mr. Spear is eighty-seven years
old, and has been preaching sixty of
‘ them. He walks to all of his appoint-
ments and carries a large .valise con-
taining his earthly possessions. He
is one of the few who preach only .for
the good of the cause. During the
sixty years of his ministry'he has not
received more than $250, and has never
solicited a donation. Notwithstanding
his advanced age, Mr. Spear" gets about
as lively as a boy of eighteen, and
says he hopes to be able to preach his
last sermon on his one hundredth
birthday.—Tompkinsville, Ky., News.
; How the Moon Fixes Soft Crab Prices.
' The prices for the soft crabs are gov-'
erned largely by the phases of the
moon. The sloughing season of the
:crab is aft-er the dark of the moon, in-
creasing as the moon nears its full.
Operated upon by the unvarying law
of supply and demand, as the supply
.becomes more abundant at the moon’s
full, prices Often drop to ten or fifteen
cents per dozen, while at other seasons
the ancy prices Of from sixty to eighty
cents ' are received—Philadelphia

An Kissed the'Daisles.
f A pathetic little incident was w1t-

in a field, knelt down and kissed them.
