He was so eager | to catch the game ahead of him that he had no eye for the train. Passengers in the five coaches did not know of the exciting race going on ahead of the coweatcher, but they did notice that there was a series of quick and suc cessive jerks, and that the train was spinning along through the swamp at a whizzing pace. It was at this time that | Engineer Taylor resolved to take a hand in the race himself. He pulled the throt tle wide open. The deer was 100 yards ahead, and the panther was 80 yards behind the deer. The deer was barely holding his own. Something seemed to ba the mat ter with him, for he didn’t run as he should. The deer kept the track for half a mile. Before he left the track, how ever, the engine crawled close upon the panther. Ho heard the rumbling of the wheels and the trembling of the track, and he quickly got out of the way, hid «og himself in the underbrush by a se- ries of successive and graceful leaps. The deer did not quit the track until He took to the open pine woods on the opposite side to that which the panther had leap- ed, and the last seen of him he was still running like chain lightning Conductor Rogero went ahead to see what was up when the train was run- ping so fast, but only got there in time 0 seo the deer scudding through the woods, He told a few of the passengers, but none of them was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the buck Mr. Rogero says that deer have fre quently jumped on the track on Pablo run, and before this have had a moe with the train, but this is the first time he over heard of a panther getting mixed up in any of the incidents — Jacksonville (Fla. ) Times-Union the Sermon Topless of Today.

Men are more inter ested in today than in yesterday. Chi cago Interior upon that all ail will What Professor Fraser of Edinburgh has at tacked the problem of finding an anti dote for snake bite, and there is every reason to hope that his labors will not be for naught. Starting with the com- monly accepted theory, which he finds to be true, that a snake is itself immune to snake poison, he argues that this im munity must be due to the absorption in the blood of the poisonous matter. He next procured some venom, chiefly cobra poison, and ascertained by direct experiment the minimam lethal dose to a small animal. The dose was gradoeal iy increased without any inconvenience to the animal. Indeed it grew fat ander the treatment until it could receive by subcutaneous injection enough poison te kill 60 creatures its size The next step showed that the blood serum from animals thus treated was able, in varying conditions of adminis tration, perfectly to prevent lethal doses of the venom of the most poisonous ser- pents from producing death in nonpro tected animals. The new remedy is named antivenine, and its discovery may be regarded as one of the most im portant of the century. — Chambers’ Journal Antivenine May De. Whitewashed the Conia.

A Dundee butcher exhibited at his shop door various articles, such as sheep's Loads, bullocks’ tongues, ete Two thieves in search of their dinner noticed the conspicuous and tempting tongues at the butcher's shop, and they resolved to vietimize him. Aoscordingly one of the thieves made a rush into the shop, and hastily ad- dressing the butcher said “Did you not see a big black dog running away with a large tongue in its mouth ?"’ “Impossible!” said the unsuspecting butcher, who fancied one of his tongues was off, and seizing a chopper he rushed out of the shop after the supposed dog thief. Getting a glimpse of one of the canine race somewhat answering the description given, he made full chase, but lost sight of the animal at a corner where a crowd of hangers on are always to be found loitering. The butcher, somewhat discomfited, appealed to the crowd by asking if any of them had ‘seen a big black dog with a tongue in its mouth, '’ “With a tongue in ite mouth?’ said | one of the crowd. ‘'You stupid man! Did you ever see a black dog without a tongue in its mouth?" “1 am sold, ”’ said the worthy butcher, and so he was, for when he returned to the shop he fonad that the whole of his tongues were gone as well as thé two | thieves who had taken them. — London | Tit- Bits. ge asy to Take asy to Operate Are features peouliat to Hood's Pills.
