Curing Snake Bites. * suther instance of the wonderful \ gS hich science is doing for the f Stee especially in the manner 4 3 shuman life, is furnished by a nh scientist’s discovery of a remedy for snake bits. The remedy consists in mixing of quantities of the poison of the cobra witb a solution of hypochlorite of lime. This is injected into the person who has been bitten by the snake and is warranted to cure in a majority of the-cases, success be- ing dependent upon the time elapsing between the hour when the bite was received and the hour when the remedy was applied. But the process of producing the serum is as difficult and expensive as that which brings forth the anti-toxin remedy, and it would be next to im- possible to have the rem- edy always at hand for adanger so widespread as snake bites. Therefore the Chicago Chron- icle concludes that the good old fash- ion of curing snake bites is not likely to be superseded by the new way. ‘That method, which is a prevention as well as a cure, is very simple, and as the heated term is upon us and many people will soon be going where there is more or less danger of snakes biting them, it might be well to give it for their benefit. First, procure a bottle large enough to contain suffici- ent of the remedy to last during the trip. Fill this bottle or jug nearly full of spiritus frumenti. Almost any one will tell you what brand to procure. Cork it tightly and wait for the snakes. As soon as you think you have been bitten, or are likely to be, seize the bottle or jug firmly with the righ hand. With the left hand pull out the cork by a dexterous mo- tion. Then raise the bottle with the right hand and carry its nozzle to your mouth. Open your mouth to its full extent, throw back the head, and inclining the bottle at the same angle, let the liquor run rapidly down the throat. The amount to be taken depends entirely upon the size of the snake. Water may be taken before or afterward, but the remedy is effica- cious without it. The Chronicle con- tends that this beats any serum remedy all hollow. The Trolley Buzz. Along with the giass arm, bicycle face, tennis shoulder and other things we now have the ‘trolley buzz,” a buzzingiu the ears resulting from riding trolley cars. The trolley buzz has no place on the Saint Paul & Du- luth railroad, or Duluth Short Line, asit is now properly termed. All one hears is the buzz of conversation above the noise of the train, owing to the fact that the coaches are always well filled. Especially is it so during these summer days, when the drift of the population is toward the many summer resorts scattered along this popular line, from the Twin Cities to Duluth, West Superior and Taylor’s Falls. Always take the Duluth Short Line, whether you go on business or pleasure, and you will be right. Ticket agents will always gladly and courteously furnish maps, circnlars and general information, or they may be obtained directly by writing to C. E. Stone, General Passenger Agent, St.Paul, Minn. The Swedish Record. The Swedes have reason to be proud ofthe fact that ofall nation- alities represented in the immigrants who came into the United States last year the percentage of illiterates among the Swedes was the lowest. Italy sent us 57,515 immigrants, of whom 54.59 per cent could not read nor write; Russia sent 35,188, of whom 41.44 per cent were uliterates; Ireland 37,495, of whom only 7 per cent were illiterate; Austria-Hungary 57,053, of whom 38.92 per cent were illiterate; Germany 25,334, with only 2.96 per cent illiterate; and Sweden 18,221, with only 1.16 per cent illiterate. Portugal sent 2,067, of whom 78.69 per cent were illiterate—the greatest percent- age ofall. The total number of ar- rivals was 343,267, of whom 2,796 were sent back at the expense of the steamship company bringing them. 25. Round Trip $25. Via D. S.

Towne against the Duluth News Tribune has been settled on the basis of a-re- traction by G. G. Hartly, who was the owner of the paper at the time of the publication of the alleged libelous article. It may be remembered that during the campaign the News Tribune reprinted from the St. Paul Dispatch an article impugning Mr. Towne’s motives in advocating the cause of silver. It was asserted in that article that Mr. Towne was an employe ofa “silver trust” and that his warmth on the side of silver was due to the alleged fact that he was interested in silver mines. Mr. Towne demanded a retraction, and what purported to be a retraction was published. ‘This was not satis- factory and suit. was begun. For the last three months negotiations for settlement have been pending. The News Tribune published the follow- ing letter: Editor of the News Tribune: During the political campaign of last fall, the undersigned owned and controlled the Duluth News Tribune. and during that time un artiele appeared inthis paper taken from the St. Paul Dispatch reflecting upon the character and integrity of the Hon. Charles A. Towne, who was then a candidate for re- election to congress. ‘Thisarticle was placed in the columns of the News Tribune without the actual knowledge of the undersigned. ‘Although it would seem at this time en- tirely unnecessary, yet”in. fairness to Mr. Towne, I desire to repeat that’ Ido not know nor did Lat the date of this publication in question, believe, or have reason ‘to believe, that the charges contained in said article had any basis of truth. * G. G. Harrey, While the retraction was a basis of settlement, it is understood that Mr. Hartley will ¥éry naturally and prop- erly settle Mr. Towne’s attorney’s fees and cosis.—Duluth Herald. Attitude of the New Democracy. The sincere reformer, he who sees the necessity of radically changing the tendencies of the government from a plutccratic autocracy to the true Republican form, and who be- lieves in the necessity of a union of the opponents of the present systems and influences that posses the govern- mental machinery, cannot fail to look with regret and alarm upen the pres- ent position of the “new democracy,” as indicated by its press and public speakers. There seems to beinita lack of appreciation of the mighty throes of public sentiment that the logic of events is rapidly crystalizing into convictions that must be re- spected if the aid of those who hold the convictions is to be secured. There seems to be a _ confidence amounting to almost arrogance on the part of that Democracy that all the opponents of the gold standard will come to its support, help to elect its candidates, and to recrown it with absolute power if it will simply de- clare for free silver. It does not ap- pear tooccur to that party thatit needs to consider the People’s party, Silver Republicans, or any other ap- ponents of the reiguing powers. It talks, writes and prints Democracy; anti-administration political victories of last spring were Democratic victor- ies, without giving credit to millions of+Pcpulists and Silver Republicans who contributed largely to all of them, and some of which would not have been possible without the help of those forces. There is no indica- tion anywhere, as yet, of sympathy, no manifest desire for any co-opera- tion, except it come into the ranks of the ‘‘new Democracy” with the meek- ness of a child and the humility of a devotee, unquestioning, unselfishly and unrequitted. The situation in- spires the suspicion that the “new” Democracy, however much it may have improved upon the “old,” siil! possesses the facility of the latter for making mistakes. It is a mistake to believe that the new Democracy is all pewerful and invincible; it isa mistake to believe that all other organized reform elements will unhesitatingly merge themselves into the new Dem- ocratic party, and surrendering their own banners march under those of that party. It isa mistake to forget orignor the patriotic and unselfish part the pioneer reformers of the country, the members of the People’s party, took in the national campaign, or to believe that they will repeat that act in the interest of partisian selfishness-or folly. If the “new” Democracy desires the country to be- lieve that it is really a wide and radi- cal departure from the “old” one,that is now so cordially despised, it must study the part of unselfishness, hu- mility and patriotism, and act it with sufticient earnestness and realism to make all beholders believe in its sin- cerity. It is now time to serve notice upon that party that it is not om- nipotent alone, that it must ‘do works meet for repentance” and must also “tote fair” if it would secure the co-operation that is necessary to the success of vital reforms. The spirit of co-operation is yielding, flexible, unselfish, and without those qualities there can be no co-operation.—Farm, Stock and Home. Special Rates July 4th.
