GONSUMPTION CURE
rContinued from First j
many a rattler from the rocky glens
of the Adlrondacks to the lowlands of
California.
Crawford spent yesterday •in Bob
bert's Valley, above KockvlUe, and
emerged from thence with .two very
nice specimens of the rattler. This
morning he wended his way down
Market street with an innocent look
ing lard can containing the venomous
reptiles. The Snake King went into j
the Central Hotel. Market street, and |
laying the can on the floor, told Bar-1
tender H. 1-1. Garman that he had aj
couple of snakes there and wanted "toi
leave "em." Garman thought the old
boy didn't look much as if he had |
the snakes, but took the stranger's
word for it. It later developed that
the snakes were a variety of a differ
ent kind than the bartender thought.
,So the can stayed there until Craw
j ford returned.
Within the Central all was curiosity,
and everyone who strayed in would
have liked to lift the cover of the can
j and have a look at the rattlers but
|no one essayed to do so.
You Could Touch 'Em
But it would have been perfectly!
safe, as Mr. Crawford explained, be
cause the snakes don't get lively until
warmer weather comes on. Crawford
says he lures the snakes to him "by
whistlin' or singin' some nice low
tune."
It must be remembered that Mr.
Crawford is an authority on snakes,
particularly on rattlesnakes, having
supplied circuses and sideshows and
museums with these reptiles for many
years, besides enjoying a brisk trade
in rattlesnake oil. Crawford has
traveled the length and breadth of
the country in search of reptiles. At
one time lie wore a pair of trousers
made of rattlesnake skins, which last
ed, he says, a considerable period.
In explaining the method of catch
ing and handling these snakes Craw
ford says that all you do is to walk up
and pick the snake up behind the
head. "No snake will bite unless it's
coiled; as for the rattler. I tell you the
rattler Is a gentleman, because It will
not strike without giving warning
three times. And it will not strike at
all if it's let alone. No; I never was
bit but once and that didn't seem to
harm me. A snake's just like any
other animal. Treat 'em kindly and
they won't hurt you."
How to Cook lliittl(»nakc
"And I tell you," the snake king
wont on, "that there isn't any better
eatin' in the world than a rattlesnake.
You may not believe it, but it's true.
Of course you must know how to pre
pare 'em. As for that, take a. tripod,
or three sticks to make one and after
splitting open the snake, hang it on
the tripod over a slow fire. Then take
off the skin. But if you make the
mistake of skinning it first you lose
| the flavor. Go into a good many sum
i mer resorts and ask for mountain eel
[and sometimes what you get is broil
ed rattlesnake, which is a good bit
better'n eel.
"The way to make rattlesnake oil,"
i Crawford explained, "is to make a'V
shaped trough, which ought, by rights
to be silvered, and then lay open the
snake and cover it with glass, and
let the sun do the rest. The oil will
all come out on the trough. I get a
dollar an ounce for rattlesnake oil
and sell it all over the country.
one Consumption Cure
"The heart of a rattlesnake is good
I for consumption," assured the king,
j "if you eat it while the snake is near
alive. About six years ago T cured
I Mrs. Shuck of Seilnsgrove, where I
I was then livtn", after all the doctors
( had given her up. i brought the snake
and cut it open and she swallowed the
heart before the snake died —and she's
! cured.
| "I heard of a good den of rattle
snakes up near Marysvllle and I'm go
: ing there soon. Anybody that says he
! seen or has killed a rattler in the east
lover four or four and a half feet, long
is either lyin' or was too skeered to
see straight when he looked at the
snake, in California and the Rockies
there are rattlers six, seven and eight
feet long, hut in the east the rattlers
are short and stubby. I have a dia
tnand-backed rattlesnake skin at home
which 1 wish you could see. It's a
beauty. In this part of the country
there are only two kinds of rattlers. I
yellow and black.
"No, I don't know what I'll do with
these two I got. Maybe I'll sell 'em
alive, maybe I'll make oil out of 'em.
Can't tell till they liven up later in the
Spring.''
Sir. Crawford has caught many oth-|
er kinds of snakes. He has presented!
several black snakes and copperheads I
to the State Zoological Department on J
Capitol Hill. But his favorite is the
mottle-coated, festive, gentlemanly |
rattler.

j Passing Impressions of Finance i
| By H. L Bennet ]
Nothing Is constant but change, and
every class of business and industry
undergoes constant evolution. The
farmer of fifty years ago would be
amazed by the wonderful agricultural
implements of to-day. If the old-time
spinner of cotton, whose mill wheels
wore turned by a New England river
beside his mill, could see the immense
cotton manufactories of to-ilay In Caro
lina, remote from a stream, and yet
know that their power is transported
by wire from some waterfall in the far
away mountains, he wouid be mysti
tled. And a great change has come
over the investment markets, too. in
Wall Street less is heard of a dull and
drooping market for speculative stocks
than a brisk demand for bonds or pre
ferred shares that attract the outright
buyer only. The statistically inclined
observer who notes the small dally
business on the exchange and wonders
how it can be translated into enough
commissions to support the financial
community reckons without what is
now the greatest part of the security
market.
Plainly enough, people generally are
not speculating. Nevertheless. the
amount of savings that goes into se
curities is greater than ever before.
The hustling broker who only a few
years ago typified the financial center
has been to a great extent replaced by
the mberchant in securities. During the
first quarter of lull some $430,000,000
of new security issues exclusive of
municipals—bonds, stocks, and short
term notes—wore offered for sale. This
is an an annual average of $1,700,000,
a vast total, though smaller than that
of either 1913 or 1912. These are the
output of larger corporations only, for
no record is obtainable of the millions
isued by companies of purely local in
terest that are constantly floated in
every part of the country. Not all this
vast sum means new investment, for
much of it represents refinancing of
maturing bonds or notes. This item is
estimated at about a quarter of the
year. It Is through investment in these
new securities that the railroads, the
lighting and power systems, and the
industrial plants of the country are
provided with capital. It 1b the basis
of all business activity.
The merchant in securities or the in
vestment banker, as he Is most fre
quently known, is the medium through
whom new issues of bonds and stocks
reach the ultimate buyer, the investor,
who corresponds to the consumer of
merchandise. Sometimes these houses
maintain the engineering and account
ing organizations through which ex
aminations of properties are made, and
sometimes they depend on independent
sources. One of their most important
functions, however, Is expert analysis
o£ a company's condition niul prospects
preliminary to purchasing its securi
ties. l'or the merchant buys them first,
wholesale, for his own account, and
subsequently resells them among his
customers. The investor has the pro
tection of knowing that the investment
banker has been satisfied with the
soundness of a security before placing
It on sale, and has backed his views
with his own capital before inviting
his customers to purchase. This is the
class of business that has been good In
Wall Street —that is fairly good now
—and justifies the belief that the coun
try is entering a new constructive era.
Some merchants in securities are
more dependable than others, just as in
all lines of business. Tons of paper
and ink have been expended in trying
to guide the investor aright in his se
lection, and a false impression of a
great industry Is too often created by
emphasis of the bad to the exclusion
of the good. I nor any one else cannot
give a rule that will always be safe,
but conservatism of statement is prob
ably the best general indication of con
sistent conscientious effort in the se
lection of securities offered.
Another set of statistics for t)ie first
quarter of the year relates to new or
initial dividend payments, increases,
and reductions in rates. Eight public
utility stocks received their first divi
dend and twelve received an increased
rate. The total amount of capital thus
made more productive for the investor
was over $110,000,000. Meanwhile, five
railroads either reduced dividends or
suspended payment. The period lias
been one of distinctly unsatisfactory
railroad and very mixed industrial
conditions, and the steady progress of
public utility companies illustrates why
their securities are favorites with in
vestors.
Public utility companies, in the cur
rent acceptation of the term, are those
operating electric light and power, gas,
telephone, telegraph, water works, and
traction properties. In most of these
industries, but especially lighting and
power, the volume of business does not
fluctuate with varying trade conditions,
hut, instead, tends steadily toward in
crease as consumers become more nu

merous with growth of population, and
the use of gas and electricity becomes
greater per capita, as It steadiy does.
These utilities, once installed in a com
munity, become an absolute necessity.
The business of companies HupplyinK
them is not subject to the violent
booms nor periods of depression that
frequently cause wide changes in the
value of railroad and Industrial Invest
ments. On the contrary, its growth is
steady and even.
It is only in part a coincidence that
the rise of public utilities to the posi
tion of standard investments and the
growth of tho Investment banker as an
economic factor have been contempo
raneous. These securities and the
bond'and stock merchant have been
peculiarly adapted to each other. Elec
tric lighting and power properties lend
themselves to Intelligent engineering
development and constructive financing
In such a way that their earning power
can be developed with a surety of satis
factory results that no other field of
business ever before ottered. That the
two movements fostered each other is
readily appreciated and public utilities
are the specialties of many highly or
ganized banking- and engineering firms.
The Standard Oil stocks, which have
been favorites of both investors and
speculators during the last two years,
have just experienced a sharp decline
in price. It was due, and these stocks
should be safer for it, both because
lower in price and on account of the
caution Inspired among venturesome
traders by some severe losses. Statis
tics show that the consumption of oil
Is keeping steadily abreast of the in
creased production, despite the higher
prices as compared with a few years
ago. The gain in the world's output
between 1903 and 1508 is estimated at
46 per cent., and from 1908 to 1913 at
only 33 per cent. The larger the vol
ume of production and consumption of
a commodity the greater the surplus
required, otherwise the advantage of
the producer over the consumer be
comes disproportionate. The stocks of
oil In the United States at the end of
1913 are estimated at 14 per cent, less
than two years before, and only 3 per
cent, more than four years ago. The
trade position of the oil companies
seems, therefore, fundamentally strong.
Adverse criticism of the country's
business situation was aroused by a
decline In new orders booked by tho
United States Steel Corporation during
March. The. decrease was actually
smaller than many observers had an
ticipated, and reflects past conditions
already known and considered by se
curity prices. As a basis for forecast
ing the future it is of shallowest In
significance compared with the overn
ment report indicating the most bril
liant crop prospects ever known at this
time of year.
