In a country where the cabra, is such a fami liar object of dread it is inevitable that the medical lore of the people should provide antidoles for the bite of that fascinating and dangerous reptile. An altogether curious ro meely is in vogue in several parts of the country. As soon as a person has boen bitten by a cobra a snakecharmer is sent for who lures the same, or another cobra whose fangs have not been drawn, to the vicinity of the victim and causes it to bite him at as nearly as possible the same spol as before. This last condition is certainly
difficult one to achieve, but should it be ful filled the sufferer will as surely recover as the snake will die! Watessoakes are generally karmless but here and there que comes across venomous species. A fisherman when in doubt as to whether the snake that has bitter hin is a poisonous one or not bas resort to a simple though rather disgusting remedy; he dips his hands into the mud nd gorges his stomach with several handful of the semi-solid. I must mention another extraordinary superiti lion connected with cobras. It is believed that Messrs. A. S.
