; 9 Bill Writ^ tm late] . ,, Atlanta Co It is now many weeks since tao * <0.d St V.|et??t?V?fe^fe?. if mate ai d the girls and boya to go wooing. St. .Patriot ha> teen oat and ibook hie shel sieh at the snakes, bot etill gentle spring keeps on flirting tod fooling with old man winter and makes him believe she ie in love with him. But she isent. May and De cember never mate, nor Marsh and, November. It is against the order of nature. We old people cab look and linger and admire, but that is all. (Ve have sailed down the river and encountered its perils, ita reefs sud rocks and shoals and quicksands,'hnfe. strange to say, we give no warning. Maybe it is because we know that ?arning will do no good; maybe, be cause m lery loves company; maybe, because it is the order of nature, the fiat of Almighty. Verily the young people would mate and marry and lau ooh thoir boat and sail down that river if they knew there was a Scylla and Charybdis at every bend and levi athans and maelstroms abd cataracts all the way down. Poor, trusting, suffering woman. What perils, what trials, what afflictions does the ma ternal instinct bring upon you! Close op by us, while I write, is a beautiful young mother lingering, in the grasp of death-dying that' her first. born child may live. There is. nothing more touching,' moro pitiful, more heroic in nature. There is nothing that a man is called upon to endure that oompares with .the death of a mother in childbirth. ' * But there is a brighter side-a more charming, comforting picture of lifo -married life, domos tie life-when the good mother is a matron, and looks with pride upon her children ; and grandchildren as they come and go lovingly before her. What calm serenity hovers over her matronly face. What sweet content, what grateful rest-rest from her labors, her pains, her care and anxiety. Well may she exclaim with Paul, "I have fought a good fight; I have kept the faith; I- have finished my course. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness." To every lad and lassie there is a period of -life not always thrilling or tragical, but highly emotional and sen sational. Of course,. I mean the period of love--yopng Joye-fprJove's young : dream, which sometimes3 runs smooth and sometimes don't. What R luxury it would he to lock behind the 5 or tain and see just; ^hat Joye has felt and suffered ?nd enjoyed. vSaoh?kaleido scope would have a world- of ?ager lookers, for the old] are as fascinated with stories of lore and courtship as the middle-aged and young. ?n look ing over the daily or weekly paper we may skip the displayed headings of war in Servia or riots in London or cyclones in Oregon, but any little paragraph that has love in it arrests the eye and demands attention. Children go to Behool to study books, but hy the time they are in their teens they begin to mix a little timid, cautious love with other studies. A sweetheart is a blessed thing for a boy. It strat t ons him up and washes his face and greases his hair and brushes his teeth and stimulates his ambition to excel and be somebody. Jerusalem! How I did luxuriate and palpitate and concentrate toward the first little school girl I ever loved. 3he was as pretty es* pink and as weet as a daisy, and one day at re-" ?6B8, when nobody was looking ? :aught her on the stairs and kissed 1er. She was dreadfully frightened, ?utnofemad. No, no; not mad, Sho .an away , with blushes on heir cheek, tnd more than oncei that evening I saw 1er glance at mo from Jbehind her book nd wondering if I would ever bo so ash again. And now, Mr. Editor, if a thousand ?f your patrons peruce these random aemories, nine hundred of them can ?nish up the chapter froui their own nwritteu books. Who has not loved, -ho has not stolen a kies, who has ot caught ita palpitating thrill and elt like Jaooh when be lifted up his oiceand wept? Ch, Rachel, beauti al and well favored, no wonder ?"ist.'.)? ?ooh watered thy sheep and then ' issed thee, for there was no on? to lolest or mako theo afraid.

Bat. love becomes more earnest after awhile--,moro intense, more frantic-the young man means business ; and si does the maiden. Like the turtle-doves in the spring of the year, they ard looking oround for a mate. This is nature and it io right. God said, "His not. good for mau to be alone; I will make a help meet for him." And eb he made Eve to help meet tho expenses, and that is what a wife ought to do now, but a good many of them don't. They help make them, but'they don't help meet them, and that is why the young men have almost quit marrying. The rich girls won't have; them, and the poor girls are trying to keep up with the rioh, and so the turtle-doves mate more slowly nowadays. Folks needto love and court and marry with more alacrity than they do now. It is not vanity to say- that I could have married half a dozen nice girls, Iand my wife could bave had ohoioe of a dozen olever, prosperous youths as likely as myself. Cupid just roosted1 around those woods and shot his ar- ' rows right and left. Sometimes he Shoots a. young man and then waits days and weeks before he shoots tho girl he ia after.. -This keeps the poor, fellow on the warpath, and frantic and 3 rampant, and Cupid laughs. But he was clever to me, for aa near as I can,. judge he let fly both arrows at once and plugged my girl and me sitnul taneously, and with a single shot.,1 My wife denies this, but I have told ' it so often I believe it. There was no skirmishing on my part. I never did shoot with a scattering gan. Marry ing was cheap in those daya. My re collection is that it oost me only about $45-twenty-five for clothes, ten for a ring and ten more to the preacher. It didn't Cust anybody else anything to speak of, for there were no wedding . presents. That tomfoolery wasn't in vented. We didn't go to Niagara, or any where right away, bat we went to Work. A month orso later we did take a little trip to Tallulah Falls and look at the,, water tumble over the rocks, but that didn't coat but a few dollars and made no sensation outside this family. My thoughtful wife had .nough sice clothes io last her two years when I married her, and , they were long /af terWa&s Wt up ?nd cat down for the children, and there are someh precious fragments; hid away in the old trunk non. The old trunk and of common sine, was sufficient then for. a traveling wardrobe for a lady of the land. My father and mother and two children made a journey by seato Boston, with one trank anda valise, and came back to Georgia by land in a carriage, but not long since I saw a delicate female traveling with two trunks; ribbed with iron, and still she was.not happy. Oh, my country I. JThat girl was too muoh ia love with her clothes to love a man, and nobody but a fortuno hunter would* dare to marry her. Young man, beware of trucks! Bill Arp.

Lniest Antidotes for Snake Bite. The Carnegie Institute bat granted $1,000 to the pathological laboratories of the University of Pennsylvania to aid in the investigation of snake j poison which is going on there. Upon lines that Doctor 8. Weir Mitchell suggested, Doctor Suaou Flexa*? and Doctor Hidey o Noguohi j haye been studying at the university [for'two years the venom of cobras, [ rattlesnakes and- other poisonous ' rep i tiles. t Highly interesting aro the experi ments that in the course of their work these two scientists have made. 3hov believe that it ia possible in me to disoover for each kind of venom an antidote. The chloroforming of a snako .and the extraction of its poison while it lies unconscious are operations fre quently performed and interesting to see. The snake is first seised with t lasso about the middle. The lasse is a leather loop at the end of a stiel; .like a broomstick, and the tighten' ing of the loop holds the snake secure ly. H|; Aa it is caught, its head ie pinne( down to a table with a notched stiol that is pre a ced upon its neok. A tube ono and one-half ic ches ii diameter, containing a spong', satur ated with chloroform is slipped ove the snake's head, as a glove is slippei on a finger, and soon the reptile is un oonsoious. ??t Au assistant then seizes it by th neok and slips the edge of a sauoe under its upper jaw in such a manne es to elevate the two fangs. . These fange now lie, as it wen upon the saucer.. The operator take them, one at a time, between th thumb and forefinger of the rigl hand, and strips them forward squeezes thom, that ia to say, from tl base to the tip-and thus all the venom is extraoted. This venom, yellow, and of tl thickness of molasses, runs out upc 'the;saucer, and it is gathered in a vi and sealed up. In the experiments with live ac mais that the university carries on, is thought best to inject the veno hypodermioally rather than to alic the snake itself to do the injecting the ordinary manner with its fan| because a znz-e does hot always stri effectively. Sometimes it fails elevato its fangs sufficiently to inj? into its viotim more than a drop two of venom. Sometimes it strikes fiercely and teeth are actually fastened for a n mont in tho animal's flesh, but I fangs are doubled backward . and i a drop of venom is injected into < wound. Yet, to all appearances, the t has been a terrible one, and an\ perimenter, administering -,. to - wounded animal a certain antidc would deoide that this antidote ws marvelously potent ono-wou?u 1 it to have cured the aiiirsal immedii ly*--when, as ? matter of fact, tl Would have been nothing the ma with the animal from the beginni On small animals the effect < small dose of . venom is almost mediately fatal. A pigeon, for stance, on receiving an injection three or four drops, walks ? few st orouohes, gasps rolls over on its s and in one or two minutes, eometi in less than one minute, is stone d On a larger animal, such as a i fhe poison does not act so power ly. A thirty-nine-pound bull tei was lowered into a rattlesnake's and waB bitten on the right leg, the thigh. The bite was a thorough one. dog whined a little after it drawn up, moped awhile, and ii teen minutes was so weak it ha lie down. At the end of twenty-five mic it could rise when bidden, thou was growing waiker. Al.tbs e? fifty minutes it had lost all p over hind legs. At the end of ei minutes its breathing was lab At th? end of three hours it dead. A man-one of the attendanls bittcn by a rattler at the auiv< by accident. In a few minutes I came sick at the stomaoh and weak. His face paled, a cold broke put on him, his breathing hurried and his pulse feeble.

F bitten by snakes can take ext nary quantities of whiskey or -two quart?, say, in an hour out exhibiting a sign ol' drunk? On animals alcohol has boei asa stimulant with good effe overy case it has done much 1 the victim over tho stage of \ tioa that follows the snake's hi The remedial agent that L> greatest known value ia the intermit tent ligature-the tight band, drawn about the wounded limb, ' that is loosened vor an instant at stated in* tervals, thus allowing the poison to enter the system gradually in tiny quantities. The ey6tem combate the poison well where the intermittent ligature ie used j and alcohol, given each time the band is loosened, helps much to coun teract the weakening effect of ike en tering venom, j One experiment proves, that the mechanism which controla the aot of striking jn the rattlesnake lies in the spinal cord/ > Snake poison taken into the stom ach is as harmless as bread. Snakes have been made to swallow their own venom and- no evil results hate fol lowed. Injected into the blood, however, a snake's venom will kill another snake-will even kill itself.-<St.'Louis Republic Calamities of 1903. Not a month has passed since the opening of this year without a record of some disaster in this oountry in which human lives were lost and large amounts of property destroyed. Tbe list is an unusual one. Nearly thousand people have been killed in this way sinoe January, this number only including the tragedies of greater moment, not counting those in whioh the loss Was less than a half-dozen lives. The worst reoord has been made in the present month, for since the first ol June' nearly Bevon hun dred have been killed, the oloudburat at Hepcer, Ore., in whioh five hun dred lives .were lost, more than doub ling the.death roll as it stood beforo last Sunday. The New York Tribune has compiled the reoord of the year as follows: January 27-Near Westfield, N. J., an express train dashed by the block signals on the New Jersey Central railroad and crashed into a local train, causing the loss of 23 lives and the injury of a far greater number of per sons. February 19-? heavily loaded trolley oar in Newark, N. J., got be yond the control of the motorman and ran down a steep incline, coming in collision> yitb the .engine of a Dela ware, Luckawanna and Western train, causing thV death of nine persons, nesrly all of them high-school girls. March 20-A collision ooourred on Long Island Sound between the Fall river freighter City pf Taunton and the passenger steamer Plymouth off Fishers Island, in which six persons were killed and over 500 were in peril. April 9-Tornadoes wrought de struction in Arkansas and Alabama, nine.persona being killed in the for mer Stata- ?nd 12 ia *hc latter. May 30 and the following day s floods caused great loss pf life and property on the .Kansas, Missouri and Dee Moines rivers. The loss of life st ?North Topeka and Manhattan, Kan., .tras first reported at 150,. but proved to.be about half this number. Twen ty-five lives were lost at Kansas City, Kan., and a dozen at Kansas City, Mo., while in these cities and in Des Moines, as well as in many smaller places, there were thousands of people made homeless. The property losses in Kansas were estimated at $17,000, 000, and the damage to crops at $5, 000,000. June 1-A tornado swept over Gainesville, 'Ga., causing a loss of about 100 lives and property damage estimated at $500,000. June 6.T-A cloudburst* at Clifton, S. C., caused a loss of 58 lives and property damage to manufacturing villages of $3,500,000. June S-Thirty-five lives were lost hy the rush of waters when a levee broke at Granito. City, 111., on the ?Mississippi Rives*, .and great damage y?2S done at otho? places in the vicini ty of St. Louis. Thirty more lives wero lost the next day, when an em bankment broke, and East St. Louis, 111., was two-thirds submerged. June 14-The latest of this series of disasters befell Seppner, Oregon, in the shape of a cloudburst, whioh is estimated caused the loss of the lives of no less than 500 people, with great property damage. To the list of disasters of the year must be added the property losses due to the forest fires whioh raged early this montbf in thc Adirondacks, White Mountains and tha Catskills, caused largely by the excessive drouth that prevailed for nearly twp months.

This faot was well brought | ont by an adventure that happened to a friend of mine yeara ago in the moun tains of West Virginia. . "The young man was hunting. He came to a lonely cabin, and, belog thirsty, he knocked at the door for a drink. The drink was handed to him by* a girl so oharming that, with a emile, he said: " 'Would you be angry if I should offer you a dollar for a kiss?' M ?No, sir,' the girl answered, with a little blush. "So my friend took tho kiss, and then ho gave the maiden the dollar. She balanced it in her hand a mo? ment. She knitted her pretty brows in perplexity. V'What/ she asked, 'shall I do with all this money?' " 'Why, anything you pleaae, my dear,' said my friend. "'Then,' she murmured, I think I'll give it baok to you and take anoth er kio a.'
