A Druahard Eaten up By Rattle
snahes-The body of vagrant Scotch
man was found few days since, on Flat
Rock, near West Cbazy, Clinton county
New York. Near the spot where the re-.
mains lay is a large chasm or ledge of
rocks, that has long been known as the
den OF great number of rattlesnakes.
and from the trails leading between the
corpse and the rocks, it is evident that
the unfortunate man was killed bv tbe
serpents. The flesh was literary picked
from the bones. 1t is supposed that the
poor fellow wandered to the snot and
falling down in a state of unconscions-
ness' became an easy prey to the reptiles.

The Industry Of Women.

The last Edingburg Review has an interest
ing paper on the labors and emoiuments OF
women. The writer afirms that education
is surest means of placing her in the posis-
ion nature intended her to occupy. Out OF
six millions Of women in England and Scot
land, he shows no less than halfare industrial
in their mode Of life-mere than third be-
inc self-supporting. The matrimonial cases
under recent laws have disclosed an amazing
amount of female industry; almost every
wife who sought protection proving that she
had supported the household and acquired
property. The reviewer does not hesitate to
attribute difficulty in regard to the industrial
Independence of women to the jealousy Oh
men This jealousy, he says, Shows itself
with every step gained in civilization, and its
immediate effect is to pauperize large num-
her of women who are willing to work for
their bread and we need not add to condemn
to perdition many more who have no choice
left between starvation and vice. The jeal-
ously which keeps women from the employ
ment of engraving the brass works of watch
and from FASTING patterns of floss silk upor
cards, for trade purposes, long kept the School
of Design in London closed against female pu
pills. and renders it almost impossible for a.

How TO MAKE MONEY WITH FowLs.-As
many of our readers have plenty of spare
ground about their premises, and chicken
raising being an egg selling and money making
business, we publish the following article, from
q correspondent of the Dollar Newspaper:
Keep your hens so that they lay one egg
day for every day in the year. Thus, If you
begin with three hundred you must get TWEEN
ty-fiye dozen day, or nine thousand one
hundred and twenty five dozen year, which
will be worth, at Is cents dozen, 5 $50 ~
and at 20 cents 81, 1926 cash down. But, you
inquire how can do to make my hens lay
every day? Twill tell you Fed them on
nothing bat meal, cut to the proper size, fine,
and they will thrive on it exceedingly; keep
-thern-ia preeef houses to be warm in winter;
divide them into companies and battalons in
properly made yards, which can be erected at
a moderate expense !; keep them also supplied
with ashes to dustin, lime plaster, small gray
ell and clean water every day, particularly in
winter. You may intermix in their feed some
grain. particularly barley and buckwheat.-
Thus carefully treated they viii not become
subject to moulting. When You want to
hatch eggs to replenish the stock when you
sell off old hens, or any superanuated stock, get
them Matched in an eccalohum or incubator,
They are now made in New York and Phila-
delphia to hatch securely Any person with
proper spirit may thus make large income,
sure, certain, in cash, too. What needs a
man more that looks to his interest, and that
at such small outlay both of money and
land

The Fashions.

The saucy Paris correspondent of the New
York Times thus gossips about the fashions, IN
a letter dated February IL
81 have had occasion to remark already that
in feminine toilet there is this winter an aug
mentation Of rotundity. The ball OF the
Hotel de WILLIE only confirmed the first I'M
pressing of the fashionable season. AT the
same time there is tendency to very low
necked dresses, and especially to low backed
dresses. which has more than reached the
limits of propriety. There is tare de dos
ouite revolving. For those meager individuals
especially. who resemble spiders, there is no
need of showing us that. They look like
pluned canary birds-the dear creatures
A charitable lady suggested that these deplora-
ble exhibitions were the result OF the long
trains on the foor-held down by the gentle
mems feet. Certain it is, however, that what
the dresses have gained in length of train they
have lost in height of shoulders, so that the
equilibrium, at least, is kept up. A malicious
friend compared them to Venuses, rising Out
of sea-foam-and long way out! III yades

An English fashion in ladies' walking appar-
eli has lately been adopted-that of drawing
the bottom of the dress up, when it IS muddy
in festoons This is accomplished by some
kind of interior network arrangement to the
deponent unknown; but it is not as graceful
as the French method of holding up the skirts
and will not become general. On the other
hand the Aberdeen or Balmoral skirts arr
now regularly naturalized in France, and arr
generally worn.

An ABANDONED SLAvR.-About half-past

bark to bring her to This port.

coast Of Africa was found on board Of her, but
the proof Is ample the olfactory nerEegin even

Conclusion of an Essay on the use OF
Tobacco, by DR.. &. D. Mussey.

How can a temperance man use tobacco !!
With what consistency can he ask his neigh
Dor to abstain from alcohol, on the ground OF
its being injurious to body and mind, while he
ndulges himself in the habitual qualification
of an appetite unnatural and pernleious, and
holding in strong alliance with that produced
by an alcoholic beverage? How long shall
the widows mite, consecrated, under many
personal priyations, to the great object OF do
ing good to mankind, be perverted to sustain
a diseuestful and hurtful habit by the bench
ciary of an Educational Society
What christian can indulge himself IN the
habit of using tobacco habit which be-
numbs the moral sense as well as pollutes the
body: that temple which is designed for the
indwelling of the Esprit of truth p How
long are the sacred affairs of God to be pollu-
ted with this unhallowed offering, and the
garments of the priesthood to remain I'M
cleansed from its defilements ? How long
shall trapsgressors be called upon to listen
with spirit OF convicIion and Repentance, :.
sermons on the great duties of Christian self
denial prepared and pronounced under the
inspiration Of this poison ?
