in former joars to see Mexican and In- {
dinn boys trailing the hideous things ,
at the ends of strings along the streets ,
of towns and settlements in Arizona,
taking care always to keop their baro (

few or no buyers. In tho event that
nobo<ly wanted to iuoroase his menagerie
with one of the wicked looking
beast*, it was generally stonod to death
by its owners as a protest against its
general usefulness.
Sevoral years ago Gila monsters bocame
somewhat in demand for Eastern
collectors, and stuffed or in tho ilesh
they command bettor prices now,
largo specimens, presumably wanted
for zoological gardens, being paid for
at good figures. Strangely enough,
since tho iutorcst in tho reptilo has
grown it has beoomo somowliat scarce.
Whatever may have been said about
tho looks of the Gila monster, it is a
repulsive, crawling, uueamiy reptile,
JG rlinps not so ugly as many another
ard?the iguana, for instance?but
itinotively abhorred because it is so

when threatened with capture or injury,
iwul that it known how to do in a
manner which will make even thoso
totally Ignorant of Lbo danger they
run careful of too close an approach,
i The length of the monsters uaually
captured varies from one foot to two
foot and a few inches, hut specimens a
foot and a half in length are those
most generally brought in. Of this
the big conical tail forms one-third.
The weight will avorrgc from three to
five pounds. 'L'ho head is more luncoshaped
than that of any other lizard
found in Arizona, the consequence being
that the narrow neek is very pronounecd
and imparts to the heal
while it moves something very much
like the rattlesnake's performance.
When attacked the (lila monster retreatsahout

head and nock in a fierce manner, while
a black, forked tongue, over an inch in
length, darts swiftly out of a mouth
Abnormally wide and cavernous. At

IM lVV'JC*t>l* ii it ait \ if>help

several wcll-aulhent ioatcl eases have
proved. Curiously enough, in tho
case of men who hnvo ho vi bitt it
was found tle.it those who wore strictly
temperate reeoverod fur more quickly
tliun those who wore in the habit of
taking stimulants. It turned out also
that, unlike many eases in which bites
li??d been iiitiicicd by venomous snakes
of tho North American species, whisky
did not act us an antidote ut nil,
rather aggravating the symptoms.
E. L. Wotmorc, a taxidermist ol
Tucson, who hns dissected mn.iv of
these li/.nrds, says he has been unable
to discover, where the venom which
they undoubtedly inject into the
wounds they produce comes from. In
poisonous snakes it exudes from sues
above the fangs, but in the (iiln monster
tho closest investigation has failed
to show ftllV such 1'hlfldn cum. I
with the tooth. Undoubtedly it is tho
saliva of tho monster, lubricating its
sharp incisors, that produces tho
chemical change in the blood. For
that reason it is believed that in tho
balivary glands tho venom will bo
found, but that is the extent of what
is known of the Gila monster's dangerous
power.
JJy reason of its slowness tho monster's
diet is necessarily limited. It is
a climber, and as such has no dillieulty
in robbing nests in which there are
eggs or helpless young. It will also
investigate the warreus of chipmunks
ami cottontail rabbits and eat tho puppies.
It does not interfere with other
lizards; at least tt shows a complete
indifference for horned toad a and for
a sluggish l>!ac.; fellow, about six
inches long, which it would have no
dillieulty in catching.
When kept in a cage tho Gila monitor
is always fed on lien's eggs, tho
shells of which it cracks, after which
it very u *atly disposes of their contents.
Last year W. L. Vail a prominent
cattle raiser of this territory, espied a
Gila monster sunning itself in the road
while ho was riding to Pantanu on
eback. Ho threw stones at it, and
it was killed, when in reality,

Appendicitis.
Tills la not a new disease, but it is n
comparatively new discovery. Our
fathers knew nothing of it. That there
was an "appendix," or litttlo blind
pocket, attaolied to the human entrails,
lias been known since unntomy lias
boon studied, but it is probable that
deaths from the drifting into this pocket
of undigested substances were, until
lately, attributed simply to "iullumiiuition
of the bowels."
But it is well recognized and admitted,
now, that very many deaths do
occur from the lodging of seeds and
similur substances in t his peculiar litt le
recess, and tin operation to extirpate it
by cutting it ol? entirely is tho only
remedy as yet known. Tho operation
is generally successful, but is dangerous
and sometimes has fatal results, as
in several eases which have lately been
brought to the public, notice.
A learned physician, of rather radical
views, queried, t lie other day, iu a
conversation with medical associates,
whether ft would not become necessary,
some time in tho future, to oporuto
upon all new-born babies, and cut
out the appendix from their bowels
during infancy, to save them future
danger and trouble. Hut. he was,
surely, rather ahead of hisage, and his
friends suggested that ho was boeoiuiug
a surgical "erauk."
But it is certain that a great many
poop!e are more careful tliauliiuy need
to bo iu swallowing tho seeds and pits
of fruits. Some go so far us to take
tho seeds out of grapes, lemons, etc..
before eating. Thus does science,

The Dangerous Ni.tmog.
Oases lire not infrequently reported
ill which children, und sometimes
grown persons, are poisoned l>y tho
freo ueo of nutmegs, it not being gen*
or Ally known that this article of common
household use is really a deadly
poison. This is true, in fact, of most
common condiments. But when misused,
these urtieles, such as pepper,
capsicum, etc., are so obnoxious to the
taste, excepting when taken in very
minute quantities, thut the consumer
is warned m a very positive manner
before he has had an opportunity to
do himself serious injury. This is not
tho case, however, with tho nutmeg.
This nut, which contains a poisonous
priuciplo of a very deadly character,
amy be consumed without incoii*

prodtico fatal consequences; and It. is
