WTETH BATS THK RATTLER IS A NOBLE ANIMAL, Popular Misinformation IIrmlfs Itrptllcs With Hail Rrputntlons Oenrrrs of Venom. WHEN every one. knows as much nbont anakea as Dr. John A. Wyetta there will not be anch a general dread of them, particularly of rattle snakes, "Tho rBtllesnnke," said the Doctor to a Snu reporter who asked him to tell BomethinK about unnkca, and assured him, iu answer to the Doctor's question, that it, was snakes out of boots, not in them, lie wan after, "the rattlesnake is the king of reptiles. He is as brave as he is powerful, never attacks without provocation, and then never without a warning. I should never kill one unless 1 wanted it to dissect or unless," and here it was the father, uot the scientist, who spoke, "I found one near whera my children happened to bo vhtying." The Doctor's opinion of tho rattle snake is based entirely upon hiB ob servations of ita personal courage and fairness in battle; he does not seek to deprive it of auy of its reputation as a particularly venotuous serpent. Its venom is the most poisonous of any American reptile, and is second only, so far as is known, to the cobra. The order of "toxicity" in serpent venom that is, the comparative deadli ness is cobra, rattlesnake, Ameri can copperhead, moccasin, and spreading adder. The chemists have been experimenting with the venom of rattlesnakes until they are able to talk about it like au expert witness in a poison murder trial. Dr. Wycth, in the second edition of his work on surgery, in considering tho subject poison, quotes Dr. Weir Mitchell as saying that rattlesnake venom is from greenish to a st raw tint in color, and there have been chemi cally isolated from it three proteids venom peptone, venom globuline and venom albumen. It is the globuline that is intensely poisonous, and its toxio properties are destroyed by bromine, iodine, sodium and potas sium permanganate. If you do not happen to have any of these in your vest pocket. Dr. Wyeth gives the eqnnl weight of his authority in pronouncing whisky (or alcohol in some other form) as the best physiological antidote. Dr. Wyeth is an Alabamian and lived in his native State for many years when, as ho says, snakes wore very plentiful. "There it was, he said to the Snn reporter, "that I learned to know and respect the maDy virtues of the rattle snake. I also observed many physi cal traits of that and other snakes which disprove many popular beliefs concerning them. The belief seems quite general, for example, that the rattlesnake coils itself in preparing to spring. Now the facts happen to be that it neither coils before delivering a blow nor springs, so that it leaves the ground entirely, in its delivery. "When a rattler has made up its mind that it ia time to strike it raises the forward half of its body, the pos terior half, or about that proportion, remaining on the ground, sometimes in a loop. The forward part is drawn back upon this fixed portion in the shape of a letter . The stroke is made by a quick straightening out of the forward half in a straight lino, but the part of the body on the ground remains in one spot, as does the rear foot of an expert boxer as be straightens out his body and arm to deliver a blow. The rattler can re peat that blow with surprising rapidity. If you hold a stick at a distance where the snake can strike it the poison is emitted. It has a peculiar sweetish and quite unpleasant odor. "I saw an account, recently iu a sci entific paper, written by a scientist, of 'Suicide of Kattlesnakes. I very much doubt both the intention and the pos sibility. It is a well established sci entific; fact that serpent venom pro duces no poisonous effect in the tis sues of the reptile which produces it, or in the tissues of any venom-pro ducing reptile. That snakes do bite themselves sometimes I know from ob servation, for I have seen them do so when striking at a stick with which they have been pinioned. It is possi ble too, that they may bite themselves when enraged from any other cause, but I doubt the suicidal intent." Dr. Wyeth is inclined to dis count much of the belief in the dead- lincss of reptile poisoning. "Ihe venom of the scorpion in the Orient does sometimes produce death," he says, "but the sting of the Aorth American scorpion is not dan gerous. I have failed to hear of a single death from scorpion bite, al though I have made personal inquiry of numorous physicians practicing in the south and West. Once in xsortb Carolina I was out surveying, and in steadying myself while fixing an in strument I placed my hand on a decay ing stump of a tree, and was bitten on the palm by a scorpion, which clung to my hand when I raised it. I shook off the reptile, expressed the wound, and sucked it, too, I believe. No in convenience, whatever, resultod from the wound. "The tarantula is also considered very poisonous. This is also an error, I believe. Dr. Thomas A. Popo, of Texas, who has had great exper ience iu this matter, wrote to me thut iu all his practice he knew of but one death resulting from tarantula bite. In thut cauo death was not produced from the direct effect of tho poison, but by choking, caused by swelling of" the iieck, where the man had beeu bitteu. "To return to my pet, the rattler. He is as fearless a fighter among snakes us he is with his natural en emies, men and dogs. I have never seen him whipped by auy other kind of snake, although one witness, whom I know to be a careful observer, told me that ho once saw a rattlesnake half swallowed by a oonstrictor. lie may have been mistaken iu the half snake he saw. I believe as 1 ouco wrote : The rattlesnake is too proud and brave to run, is a fighter every inch of him, although never first to attack, aud always notifies his antagonist that he is there before delivering his blow. He is iu truta a noble animal.' " Dr. Wyeth said thut he proposed to uiuke uuniliel of dissections of snakes wheu next vinitvd. lu old Louie, us there is much about their anatomy conrewiing which present knowledge is very vagn. Here is a very curio thing about the Doctor. He cannot endure to see a snake in captivity, and would suffer much to be obliged to see them as they are exhibited iu cages. More curious yet, he says that he starts as nervously as a woman at a mouse if ho even chances to open a book or paper in which there la a snake picture. New York Sun. SELECT SIFT1NUS.

A letter in the Philadelphia Times describes a curious old idol reoently discovered on tho banks of the Sabine River in Texas. The image was nearly four feet high aud was of a three headed man, with the scales of a tur tle coveriug tho entire body. The idol is hollow and contained the skele ton of a young child placed in it in an upright position, the head fitting into that of the god. Whether the child was thus sacrificed to the god or the image merely used as a repository of the dead body cannot be decided. The carving on the idol shows a degree of skill uncommon among the Indians as existing now or as found here by the early settlers, and as the banks of this vicinity were evidently erected by a people antedating these, it is probable that the image was of their religion also. It is of stone, and is composed of four or five pieces neatly cemented together with a substance not recog nized by any mason who has seen it. The union of the several stones em ployed in it is so cunningly done that only a close examination reveals it at all. The eyes are of agate, and cut with the skill of a finished lapidary ; and, by some contrivance, are bo ar ranged as to move in the head from side to side and to close by the shut ting down of lids of silver. The panther claws are also of silver, and the foet are of obsidian highly pol ished. One of the three heads wears a benign expression, while another grins maliciously, and the third frowns heavily and shows clenched teeth of obsidian ; doubtlessly the three countenances showing the vari ous attributes of the god represented. Ice Skippers Must Have Nerve. "Let her go! Whoop! Whoopee I" The rest of this ebullition of hilarity emanating from a gentleman who was one of a party of five enjoying the glorious excitement of iceboating on Lake Pewaukee, was lost in the roar of the blizzard. The aforesaid young mau kept his mouth shut for a few seconds, for the all-suffliuent reason of keeping his teeth from being blown dowu his throat. With three men on the runner ou the windward side, to hold her dowu, the boat lay over so that the windward runner was five feet iu the air, with tho three men cling ing to the wire stay like monkeys to a buuyau tree. The hardy skipper was holding the tiller with both hands and tho weight of his body thrown as much as possible to thu windward sido. The boat was at its highest speed when within fifty yards of the shore, and the thought that flashed like lightning through the minds of those aboard was "will he be able to bring her to?" Everything depended upou him, and a glance at him as he sat there with a look of grim determina tion depicted upon his bronzed fea tures wan such as to inspire implicit confidence. Had anything broken, a block or stay giveu way, the party would have beeu stuck up among the branches of the pine trees thut lined the shore. HUo was beautifully brought about, however, within twenty-five feet of tho shore. The run was a good mile and a half, and it was made in the wonderful time of one minute and thirty seconds, Milwau kee (Wis,) HentiueU ttf w - -r ic-s 4"n T tt--t, 1 The Young Orator Squelched. Senator Voorheee often entertains his friends with reminiscences of his early law practico, says the Household, when he was struggling laboriously to make a reputation aud to get on in the world. He was employed at one time in tho defense of a murderer. It was a desperate case. Tho evidence of the crime was direct and positive. His client's reputation was bad, and there seemed to bo no extcnuatiug circum stances. The young lawyer's only available resotirco was oratory in sum ming up the caso. Ho threw himself into his work with characteristic ardor. The Kentucky court room andienoe was profoundly affected by his elo quence. Tho jury in tho box were overcome with emotion, and sevia' members of the panel were wi in ; their eyes suspiciously when the orato. took his seat. The prosecuting attorney was an old man, gruff in manner, and with a shrill, piping voice. . He had listened to the appeal of young oorhecs without a sign of sensibility. He had not, how ever, overlooked the effect which had been produced upon the susceptible jury. He rose slowly from his seat and took a pinch of suuff with great deliberation. He looked at the bench and then glanced sharply in tho direc tion of the jury- Then ho remarked with a strong nasal twang : "Gentlemen of tho jury, you might as well understand from tho very be ginning that I am not boring for water 1" There was an instant's pause, and then tho audience was convulsed with merriment. A single dry sentence from tho shrewd old prosecutor sufliced to overwhelm with ridicule the eloquent pleadings of his ambitious opponent, who bad no case, yet had nearly suc ceeded by his eloquence and pathos in securing the acquittal of tho prisoner. Then, taking a second pinch of snuff, and paying no further attention to the argument for the defense, the prose cutor summed up the evidence iu a plain, business-like way, and compelled the jury, by sheer force of reason and common sense, to convict the mur derer.
