INDIAN ARROW POISONS.
RATTLESNAKE VENOM IS THEIR
UNIVERSAL BASE.
The Plate Tests Its Eftlraey on Him
self, While the Ungallant Apache
t, Tries it on His Squaw.
"The rattlesnake venom that is the
base of both the Apache and the Piute
arrow poisoning," says Oliver H. Patton,
"(ho was for many years a ranchman on
the Southwestern plains, "is provided
by that most hideous and deadly of its
kind, the bloating rattlesnake of the
Staked Plains. It is so hideous, and its
death-dealing qualities so sure, that it is
a terror even to an Apache Indian, and if
there is one thing that, is worse than a
rattlesnake in the opinion of plainsmen
and settlers it is an Apuche Indian. The
Piutes, although a more cowardly gang
than the Apaches, hold this rattlesnake
in less horror, but they give it plenty of
room. The Piutes draw on the snake for
their poison after the reptile is dead. The
Apaches, in spite of their fear of the
snake, make it contribute its venom to
them while it is alive.
"The rattlesnake of the Staked Plains
grows to a length of six feet, and attains
a girth of ten inches at the thickest part.
They have tremendous sets of rattles. I
saw one once that was over five feet long
and had twenty-three rattles in it, and I
heard of a snake being killed that had a
string of twenty-seven rattles. The head
of the Staked Plaius rattler is an enor
mous triangular thing, often five inches
long from the thin neck to the blunt
nose, and three inches wide, measuring I
from base to base of the jawbone. This
snake has fangs an inch long, and is fre
quently fitted with two sets. The poison !
sacs at the base of these fangs are as biir i
as a hazel nut. The snake is a bright
yellow in color, and is distinguished by
much the same markings that character
ize the rattlesnake of this State and
Pennsylvania. The Staked Plains rattle
snake is a dreadful enough customer an}' l
day in the year, but during August takes I
oil the fulness of its frightfuluess, both i
in appearance and in conduct. About
the middle of August, when the weather |
is insufferably hot, this snake becomes |
bloated 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. This rattler is always sluggish
and slow in its movements, and, like all
of its kind, usually makes an effort to get i
out of the way of intruders, but in I
August it simply lies still in bloated re- |
pulsiveness, and it will not move for I
anything, being ready at all times to
strike at everything that comes near it.
As near as you can get at it, this rattle
snake at this time of the year is simply
a swollen reservoir of venom, and its bite
will then send even an Apache Indian to
the happy hunting grounds, and quickly
at that.
"A Piute Indian who wants to lay in a
stock of poison for his arrows kills, at i
this time of year, enough of theso rattle
snakes for his purpose. He cuts off their
heads and takes them to his lodge, ile
places iu one of the rude earthen vessels
that are among the Pluto household ef
fects ten or a dozen of these snake heads.
To them he adds perhaps a pint of taran
tula killers, as the big Texau or .Mexican
wasp is called, or, rather, he puts the ab
domen of the wasp in with the snake
heads. This wasp has a sting that injects
a poison subtle enough almost instantly
to kill a tarantula, which is itself about j
as poisonous a member of the animal j
kingdom as one would care to meet with. !
The poison of the tarantula killer is in j
the lower abdomen of the insect, audit
is this the Piute brave mixes with his !
rattlesnake heads. He then pours in a
pint of water, seals the lid of the vessel
on with moist clay, and places the vessel
in a pit where he has made a bed of red
hot coals, and, besides that, builds a
blazing tire on top of it. This tire is kept i
burning fiercely for several hours, when '
it is swept away, and the Indiau 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 as soon as the lid is taken
off entirely ceases to appear. The
Piutes say that to inhale the smallest I
quantity of that steam would be instant j
death. Whether that is true or not lam |
not able to say, as I never saw it put to !
the test. After the fiery ordeal to which
the snake heads are put is over, a brown- !
ish residuum remains in the boftom of
the kettle. That is certainly the double
quintessence of poison, if its action 011
human blood, or, at least, Indian blood,
is any indication. The Piute always tests
this poison before trusting his arrows to
it. lie cuts a gash in the tlcshv part of
his leg and draws the blood, which lie
lets trickle down his leg. When the red
stream has run down six or seven inches
he dips a stick iu the poison and touches
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 trick
ling stream. The Indian has his knile
ready and scrapes the poisoned blood off
dry. If it was permitted to reach the
wound it would be all up with the Piute.
The arrows are dipped into this poison,
ar.d the Indian feels that whatever such
an arrow hits had much better not have
been born.
"Tho Apache Indian collects his poison I
inn much simpler way. Dreading the
Staked Plain rattlesnakes as lie doc 3, he
nevertheless '.nukes it his business togo
among them at the very time thr» arc
the mo-it deadly, lying in bloated hide
nu-ness all through that dreadful coun
try, to gather this venom for his arrows.
He does this by placing the liver or
heart of a deer, freshly torn from a vic
tim sometimes not yet dead, in front of
a snake, within easy striking distance.
The snake protests against the presence
of the object, and quickly sinks irs fangs
into it again n.id again. In a few seconds
the hear;, or liver, will take 011 a pur
plish black hue, so quickly does this
poison affect it. AVhen the Indian thinks
the receptacle has drawn all the venom
Irom the .make's head, it u< removed and
nuag up in the sun. Is v* left, theic
until it is almost ready to drop to pieces
from putridity. If the Apache feels like
testing the deadly qualities ot this fright
ful object, he runs a stick into the poi
soned heart, calls his squaw, and makes
her gash her arm as tho Piute does his
arm. As the blood runs from the wound
the poisoned stick ir touched to it. If
the venom is active, the blood will
coagulate and turn black, and change to
a dry powder. The squaw has to look
out for her own safety in wiping away
the poison before it reaches the wound,
for the brave walks away to steep his
arrows in the poisoned heart ns soon as
lie sees the venom's action on his squaw's
blood. After he has jabbed his arrow
heads into the putrid and poison-charged
heart or liver, they are ready lor use.

A Table Leg Puts Forth Buds and Leaves
"Two years ago," says a writer in the
San Francisco Chronicle , "some altera
tions in my grounds necessitated the cut
ting down of a large, old quince tree. It
was about eight inches thick through the
trunk, with three evenly grown and sym
metrical branches springing from tho
main trunk.
"Just the thing I wanted ns a pedestal
for a rustic tabic in the arbor," I
thought.
"1 had the tree trimmed off carefully,
and with my plan in view, after it had
been taken up I had it sawed in two, so
as to leave my pedestal intact, consisting
of one foot of the trunk of the tree with
its three branching prongs, leaving each
of these about four feet long. To the end
of each branch I had nailed a cross-piece
of board about a foot long, so as to give
solidity to my pedestal, when, inverting
tho trunk, each of these three prongs
should become a leg of my table. Next
a hole was dug in the center of the arbor
and the inverted tree placed squarely in
it, and two feet of earth packed solidly
around the blocked endsof the limbs. A
rustic table top was then uailed firmly
upon the trunk and my table was done.
"Now comes the curious part of the
story. Two years after this inverted
trunk was plnnted, when the springtime
came it put forth leaves and branches
and perfected blooms ns fair as any in
the orchard. In our glorious climate al
most anything will grow if you will give
it half a chance. This I know right well.
But by nailing the square blocks of wood
(irmly upon the end of each limb before
planting it I had taken even that half
chance away, since by so doing I bad
prevented the direct contact of the ab
sorbent portion of the tree with the mois
ture in the ground,leaving only the pores
in the bark to drink in what they could
of tho elixir of plant, life. And yet the
tree grew, and is growing still, in thi»
upside-down position."
A Female Pilot.
A woman has been licensed as a pilot
on the Ohio and Monongabela llivers.
She is the first one within the recollection
of Captain Neeld, of the Steamboat In
spector's office, and his memory of Hiver
events covers many years. It is not un
likely that she is the pioneer of her sex
in this branch of navigation in this di
vision of the river trade.
The woman is Mrs. Callie L. French,
and her husband runs a circus, which he
transports by water in a trim little
steamer known as French's New Sensa
tion. The circus is known by the same
name. The license was issued to Mrs.
French, and she went on duty under it
at once. About, nine years ago," said
Airs. French, "my husband hit upon the
scheme of running a boat show; that is,
giving exhibitions in towns along the
river and using the boat for transporting
the outfit and furnishing living quarters
for our people. It is much cheaper,
cleaner and pleasanter than traveling by.
rail, and we are not obliged to remove
our personal baggage. The first few years
we employed a regularly licensed pilot,
and my husband, who had a master's
license, had charge of the boat. I then
conceived the idea of learning to be a
pilot and thus sivc a big item of ex
pense. So I did, and for half a dozen
years past I have held a pilot's license. I
recently made application for a master's
license also, at New Orleans, and I ex
pect to get it."— Pittsburg Commercial

Otters Are Very Epicurean.
Otters are perhaps tho most fastidious
of all animals about what they eat. They
confine themselves to a fish diet chiefly,
usually the finest salmon or trout obtain
able in the river. They reject the head,
tail, and other portions, aed will often
catch and kill four or live good fish in one
day, and eat nothing but the fine "flaky"
meat which is found on the shoulders. Of
domestic animals it seems that, contrary
to the usual idea, the pig is the most par
ticular its to diet. Exhaustive experi
ments were, some time ago, made on
this point at Upsala, in Sweden, there
suit of which was to show that the goat,
sheep, cow, horse, and pig eat aud re
ject plants in the following proportions:
Of 575 plants, the goat cats 449 and refuses 126.
"5 >8 " sheep " 387 " 141.
'■4!M " cow " 27fl " 218.
'• 474 " horse " 263 " 212.
"243 " pig " 72 " 171.
A French investigator, who experi
mented with a greater variety of plants,
came to similar conclusions.

■ Tarisio. Tarisio hid it away, refusing to
let any one see it, till his deuth in 1854.
j S year later it was purchased by Vuil
! laume. Its condition of preservation led
■to the belief that it had scarcely been
played upon during the whole 150 years
of its existence. Vuiilaume left itou his
1 death to his son-in-law, Alard, who has

Marriage of Tun Giants.
It was a grotesque wedding that was
celebrated the other evening in the
dining-room of a boarding-house on
West Sycth street that is patronized al
most exclusively by museum performers
and freaks. The high (extra) contract
ing parties were Fred A. Shields, one of
the Texas Tall Brothers, who is a hand's
breadth over seven feet in height, and
Mine. Anna O'Brien, nee Parsons, the
German giantess, who doesn't yield an
inch to her husband in height. She is
the widow of the late lamented Patrick
O'Brien, the Irish giant. When they
faced the minister, good Dr. Henderson,
of the Trinity M. E. Church, who never
drcumed of claiming over five feet and a
couple of inches, the sight was simply
ludicrous. When he asked the noedful
questions he shouted upward, and their
responses were whispered down in the
modest tones of bashful giants, making
it seem as if the conversation was being
carried on by two big people in a second
story window and a little man down on
the doorstep. He did not attempt to hold
his hands over their heads in benedic
tion, as no ladder was convenient,
and the posture would be ungraceful.

which it grows (lodoirea sechellarum) is
100 feet in height , aud is only to be found
on the Seychelle Islands. Hundreds of
years before the Seychelles were discov
ered these nuts were washed up on the
Maldive Islands, and the wiseacres of
those days told the people that this seu
borne fruit had grown on a submarine
tree, and that it had a mysterious power
of counteracting poisons. Hence the
name—coco-de-mer. It. is proltable that
Gorden met with Allusions to this won

Story of a Greenback.
In 1864, when a Confederate camp was
located on Marietta street, an incident
occurredwhich, with its sequel, makes an
interesting reminiscence of the days
when the old Atlanta was more of a sol
dier's barricks than a city. The camp to
which I allude, writes a contributor to
the Atlanta Constitution, was a good way
out on Marietta, and the site is now oc
cupied with a number of new dwelling
houses. Dr. Roy, of this city, was one of
the physicians at the camp.
The late Captain Alphonse Hurtel, of
the Twenty-fourth Alabama, had been
placed in temporary charge of the prison,
and one day a Federal prisoner gave to
him a SIOO greenback bill to keep, fear
ing theft on the part of other prisoners.
Shortly afterward the prisoner escaped.
Captain Hurtel sent the money to his wife
in Mobile, Ala., telling her to keep it,
and if he did not send for it, aud the
Confederacy fell, to use it. When Mobile
surrendered that SIOO was a God-send to
one of the many impoverished families of
the Gulf City.
And now the strange sequel:—Ten
years after the close of the war, one
day while Captain Hurtel was sitting in
his office,a poor and ragged sailor walked
in and asked:
"Is this Captain Ilurtel?"
After a quick glance at the man's feat
ures Captain Hurtel answered: "Yes,
and you arc the soldier who gave me the
SIOO bill in Atlanta, Ga., during the
war."
"Yes, sir, I am,"the sailor replied, as
the tears rolled down his cheeks," and if
you will give me just $5 of it now I will
be thankful."
A check for SIOO was given him, and
the man fell on his knees and wept like
a child. Once again had the same money
proven a God-send in an hour of bitter
need.
Water Power.
Only a small portion of the world's
supply of energy exists in its coal, and
our industries have in reserve the power
of the sunbeams, of the tides, and of the
waves. Even the last might suffice for
man's necessities, a rolling wave twenty
feet high exerting a force of about one
ton per square foot. The average force
of ocean waves has been estimated to be
611 pounds per square foot during the
summer, and 2080 pounds during the
winter months. A force of (>'.183 pounds
has been known during a heavy gale.—
