Deadly pichu cuate of the American Southwest
In the deserts of New Mexico and Arizona the pichu cuate, the tiny yet lethal asp of North America, hides in sand and strikes with micro fangs. C. F. Lanumis recounts his 1890 meeting in Valencia County, noting the snake’s minute head, needlelike fangs, and venom jet that can kill swiftly, with Pueblo experts and snake charmers wary of its danger.

Bishop Potters Opinion On Limited Woman Suffrage
In a private letter Bishop Potter shares a cautious view on limited woman suffrage. He argues that if women pursued it with qualifying standards, their influence as voters would be strong and disproportionate to numbers, challenging a government that grants men full suffrage and imposes cheap demagoguery on legislation. Hood's Sarsaparilla advice follows, claiming it prevents pimples boils and other humors of the blood in warm weather.
