BEST
CHINESE SNAKE STONE.
Curious Oriental Product Which Is Said ta
Care Poisonous Bites.
Ben R. Spradley, a attache of the St
Louis sanitarium, at 1635 South Grand
avenue, has in his possession one of the
most curious and what he asserts to be
one of the most useful and valuable of
articles. It is what is known as a Chi
nese snake stone, and there is said to be
but one other in the country. Indeed
the one in Mr. Spradley's possession is
but half a one, the original having been
cut in two by Mr. Spradley and half of
it given to a friend. In appearance the
stone looks like a small piece of oblong
shaped cannel coal and is about one
eighth of an inch in thickness, three
eighths of an inch wide and half an
inch long. It is as light in weight as a
piece of cork, possesses a polished sur
face and can be easily cut with a knife.
It is not a stone, in the proper sense of
the word, but is a manufactured article
and is of a porous texture.
To cure snake bites or poisonous
wounds of a similar nature with the
"stone" the wound must first be scari
fied. Then the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is lasen on ana put into a glass of luke
warm water to remain a few moments
nutil it discharges the poison it has ab
sorbed. Then, after the wound has been
wasiied in a strong solution of salt wa
ter and again scarified, the stone, which
in tne meantime has been rubbed
warm ashes until dry, is again applied.

days and the patient abstains during
uiui time irom spirituous liquors a cure
is assured.

"You shall not be disturbed, I assure
you, continued the clerk, "and the
apartment is a lovely one. "
"Airy?" asked the young man.
"As to that," and a gleam of intense
pride surmounted the clerk's face, "I
will say that the room contains seven
windows, all opening upon tiny veran
das." The young couple looked at each oth
er. Then the young woman spoke.
"I don't think we shall care for that
room. You see, our three children will
be here with their nurse in the morning.
They can all climb like goats, and I'm
sure they would be falling off those
verandas inside of 15 minutes. "

voice that betrayed deep emotion, "show

Glad She Lives In America.
"I'm glad I live in America," said a
pretty young woman, talking to a Phil
adelphia Inquirer reporter, "because I
am never afraid to travel by myself.
Last year I was in London and went
around with a friend who is married,
and we were spoken to in an insulting
manner every time we went out Paris
was still worse. People speak of the
French politeness, but it is only a
veneer. The men would get in front
of us on every street corner and smirk
and ogle and chatter like monkeys. I'm
glad I didn't understand anything they
said. There are no men like the Amer
ican men, and I never was so fully able
to appreciate it as I am, now I have
seen those of other nations in their
own lands. Besides, the girls are
treated better here than anywhere else
on earth, and I don't want to cross the
ocean any more."
A Bumble Archbishop.
Willegis, a famous archbishop of
Mentz, rose to that elevated position
from the very lowest ranks. He was the
son of a poor carter, but was never
ashamed of his parentage. He not only
tausedthe following inscription to be
placed conspicuously in his palace,
"Willegis, remember thy parentage,"
but had the wheels of a cart hung up in
the cathedral of Mentz. From that time
to this the arms of the see have borne
the figure of a cart wheel Brooklyn

it is not generally appreciated that
there are enormous fortunes in single

famous pearl than the Tavernier. jmw in

This remarkable gem came to this east
era King by descent and is a genuinely
remarkable curiosity. It derives its
name from having been sold bvthe trav-
eler Tavernier 200 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia. The price then was
foOO.OOO. It is now worth more than
f50,000.

This, so far as is known, exhausts thn
list of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are made up gradually, pearl
auer peari oemg added to the set, and
leading jewelers are constantly on the
lookout to procure gems of like rarity
iu eiteua ine cnam. un tne whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable, black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has a necklace of pin pearls that is
worth 180,000, and the dowager em
press of Germany one made of 32 pearls
which would bring easily $125,000.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems of this sort that far exceed
in value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
tavo de Rothschild possesses one made
up of five rows of pearls, the whole
chain being valued at $200,000. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns a
circlet that in all probability would
fetch even at a forced sale $250,000.
liven more brilliant, because it has
seven rows, is the necklace of the dow
ager empress of Russia. The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas
ket of this royal lady is the most fa
mous in the world from a gem point of
view. Hardly second to it is that of
the empress of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.

At One Time They Were the Most Impor
tant Furniture of the House Bequeathed
bj Will to favorites The Groat Ware
Bed That Held Twelve Persons.
The bed in our country can only lay
claim to some 800 years or so of aotive
use. The learned find themselves unable
to say for certain when Anglo-Saxon
man exchanged the hard bosom of moth'
er earth for the artificial but soothing
aengiiis oi tne bed. But, roughly speak
lug, one may place the introduction of
tho bed into England at about the tenth
contury.
It was a poor, uncomfortable thing,
that bed of long ago, a mere rough
hewn bench, on which tho sleeper tossed
wearily until daylight bade him rise.
The evolutionary process, however, went
on quickly with us. and the bed soon
became a loading feature of the English
home, affording the sleeper the necessary
comfort and coziness.
It may well be imagined that our
forefathers set great store upon their
costly beds. One reason for the lavish
ornamentation of tho bed was that it
was aluioct the only piece of furniture
in the Englishman's house of that dav
of any cousiderable value. The uphol
sterer's art was a thing of slow growth,
and for centuries Englishmen of wealth
and station put up with discomforts
which would drive our modern Lazarus
into frautio revolt Coarse wooden
stools, settees and benches, with an
oaken chost or two and a rough table,
comprised for the most part the furni
ture of the English homo of those far-
off days. There was no temptation to
lavish the resources of art upon these
poor movables, and consequently every
thing went toward the decoration and
embellishment of the bed.
The entry in Shakespeare's will be
queathing his second best bed to his
wife has amused and puzzled many peo
ple, but the poet was only followina an
old and general custom in making a dis
tinct ana separate bequest of one of his
most preoious household possessions. It
had for more than two centuries been
the regular custom to "leave" beds bv
express stipulation of the testator. Thus
in ldou we find Elizabeth, countess of
Northampton, bequeathing her daughter
an embroidered bed of red worsted.
Agnes, oountess of Pembroke, in 1367
left her daughter a bed "with the fur
niture of her father's arms. "
Edward, the Black Prince, in 1376
bequeathed to "our son Richard the bed
which the kiug our father gave us; to
Sir Roger Clarendon, a silk bed: to Sir
Robert de Walsham, our confessor, a
large bed of red camorra, with our arms
embroidered at each corner. ' ' The Blaok
Prince's widow was as generous as her
departed husband in making gifts of
beds. She left "to my dear sou. thekina
(Richard II), my new bed of red velvet,
embroidered with ostrich feathers of
silver and heads of leonards of cold.
with boughs and leaves issuimr out of
their mouths."
A bed of this rioh and sumDtuous
quality would be a couoh fit even for a
king to lio upon. But for choice com
mend us to the beds that Lady Ber-
gavenny bequeathed in 1434 "abed of
gold swans, with tapetter of green tap
estry, with branches and flowers of
divers colors, and two nairs of sheets of
Raynes; a pair of fustians, six pairs of
other Bheets; a bed of cloth of gold with
lebardes; a bed of blue bardekvn that
is, suit, gold and embroidery and a bed
of silk, black and red, embroidered with
woodland flowers in silver."
This bequeathing of beds was a strict
ly observed custom from the thirteenth
to the middle of the eighteenth century.
The last bequest of a bed that we know
of ocours in a will proved as late as
1773. In 1711 Bishop Burnet gave the
bed and furniture of his best bedcham
ber, four pairs of Holland sheets and
three pairs of common sheets, for the
use of servants, to his son William, and
distributed his remaining beds among
his other children.
The beds for the most part were filled
with straw. Flocks and feathers were
used, it is true, but as a rule the Eng
lish gentry, from the thirteenth till past
the sixteenth century, were content to
sleep on beds of straw. It was the out
side of their beds that they chiefly con
cerned themselves with. If the family
beds were made of velvet or bardekyn
and were sufficiently ornamental, then
all was well. Even the English kings
slept on straw. In the accounts of King
James I's privy purse we find the en
try, "Strawe for the king's bedd, xijii.
xvs."
The bedstead was also in reoeipt of
much thoughtful attention on the part
of the owner, apd not a few of them,
thanks to the enduring oak of which
they are made, have come down to us in
unimpaired strength and dignity. The
old time bedstead was a portentous af
fair, with its solemn pillars, its canopies
and hangings. The bedstead itself did
not always go in the bequest with the
bed, and hence we find in many old
houses throughout England bedsteads in
whioh have rested whole generations of
sleepers.
Perhaps the most famous of old Eng
lish bedsteads is the great bed of Ware.
An ancient couch this, and not wanting
the honors of literary mention. Shake
speare gave it a friendly notice in
"Twelfth Night," where Sir Toby
Belch refers to "as many lies that will
lie in thy sheet of paper, although tbe
sheet were big enough for the bed of
Ware in England." The big bed was
put together in Queen Elizabeth's time,
and it is cf most portentous size. It
measures 10 feet 9 inches in length by
10 feet U inches in breadth and is over
7 feet in height. There is a legend that
no less than 12 people slept in it at one
time. Pall Mall Gazette.

A surgeon in tho English army has
found that the best wuy to treat blisters
ou the foot is to insert the point of a
noodle or other puucturiug instrument
in the sound skin about one-eighth of 1111
inch beyond tho edge of tho blister.
Then pass tho needle horistoually into
the blister, and if raised the liquid will
run out beneath. When the raised outer
skin only is pricked, it is opt to be sore
aud troublesome. After the liquid has
disappeared flatten the blister and cover
it with absorbent ootton or something
equully soft Persons who huve to be
on their feet much of the time or those
obliged to walk a great deal will fltid it
a reliof to ohango the shoes every othor
day and the stockings each morning.
