4 Fight with a Rattlesnake.

y Minnesota paper, the LanesbOFO
Herald, of the 4th, says: "Last
week Sunday, as o Norwegian girl,
living some four miles from this
place, WIS walking along the road,
She passed directly in front of, and
vrrt close to, a huge rattlesuake that
was Just coming out of the grass
into the road. This umcourteOus ac-
ton seemed to make his courtship
very wroth, and he Immediately
sounded the battle alarm, by rafting
his gong. The girl we'll knew the
sound, and turned to ascertain the
the location of her ugly foe,
which She soon did, and, instead of
running, screaming, or fainting,
booked about for something with
which TO defend herself. She could
find nothing, nor had she long time
10 look, for the snake, with eyes
glistening, rattles in motion, mouth
wide open, and his tongue darting
back and forth, was close upon her.
But she was pluck to the backbone
and did not propose TO surrender the
field without a fight-in fact, retreat
was out of the question, for the snake
was now within arms reach of her
So, keeping her eye steadily on the
snakes head, she commenced the
light with her foot, moving it back
and forth, up and down, in every
direction, the snake following the
motions with his head TO geta chance
TO bite. This performance lasted
but perhaps a minute-hOurs to her
when, BY quick movement, she got
the advantage, and down came the
foot and heavy shoe upon the snakes
head. where she held him until he
MAS dead. She then found stone
and pounded of the rattles to keep
as trophy. There We're nineteen
rattlcs, and she says it was the
largest rattiesnakc She ever saw"

l." Where Is the Liquor %

On a certain occasion one Paul
Denton, a Methodist preacher in
Texas, advertised a barbecue, with
better liquor than is usually furnish
ed. When the people assembled, a
desperate in the crowd cried out,
Mr.. Paul Denton, your reverence
has lied. You promised not only a
good barbecue, but better liquor
Where's the liquor?"
"There !" answered the missionary
in tones of thunder, and pointing
his long, bony finger at the match
less double spring, gushing up in two
strong columns, with a sound like a
shout OF JOY, from the bosom of the
earth. "There !" he repeated, with a
look terrible as lightnin9, while his
enemy actually trembe1 at his feet !;
there is the liquor which God, the
Eternal, breWs for his children"
"Not in the simmering still, over
smoky fires choked with poisonous
gases, and surrounded with the
stencil of sickening odOrs and cor
ruption, doth your Father in heaven
prepare the precious essence of life
pure cold water. But in the glade
and grassy dell, where the red deer
wander and the child loves to play,
there God brews it D.; and down, low
down III the deepest valleys, where
the fountain murmurs and the rills
sing; and high up on the mountain
tops, where the naked granite gilt
ters like gold in the sun, where the
STERN clouds brood and the thunder
storms crash; and out on the wild,
wide sea, where the hurricane hOwls
music, aud the big waves roar the
chorus, sweeping the march of God
there lie bFews 1.-THE beverage

everywhere it is thing of beauty,

glacier, dancing in the hail-shOwer /;
folding its bright curtains softly
around the wintPy world, and weav-
ing the many-cOlored bow, that
seraph's zone of the air, whose warp
is the Fain-drops of the earth, and
whose woOf is the sun beams of
heaven, ali checkered over with the
celestial flowers of the mystic hand
of refrcction-that. blessed life-giv-
ing water. No poison bubbles on
its brink; its foam brings not mad
ness and murder; no blood stains

starving children weep not bdrning
tears in its depths Speak out my

tempest answered, " No!"-,JObR b.

pIAIN TALK TO GIRLS.-Nou our eV-

character. A girl who looks like
fury" or ''sloVen" in the morning,
is not TO be trusted, however finely
she may lcok in the evening. No
matter how humble your room may
gc, there are eight things it should
ALWAYS contain, namely, a mirror,
washstand, soap, towel, comb, hair,
nail and tooth brushes. These arc
lust as essential as your breakfast,
before which you should make good
use of them. Parents who fail TO
provide all of their children with
such appliances, not only make a
great mistake, but commit sin of
omission. Look tidy in the morn
fug. and after the dinner-work Is
over, improve your toilet. Make il

for the afternoon. Your dress may,
or need nOt~be anything better than
calico but with a ribbon or flower,
ar some bit of ornament, you can
havc an air of self-respect and salts
faction that invariably comes with
being well-dressed.
\ "irl with fine sensibilites can not
help feeling embarrassed in a ragged
and dirty dress, with her hair Un-
kempt, should a stranger or neigh
bor come in. Moreover, your, self

Cure for Anger.

Two little girls, one seven and the
other five years old, were playing to-
gether, when a little difference rose
between them. Lucy, the elder, feel
ing that anger was rising, said:
81 am getting angry, 1 had better
go out of the room few minutes"
She went out and soon returned
with all the angry feeling gone. How
she spent the few minutes l think
most Of our little readers we'll know.
Lucy had not read her Bible in vain,
she knew the sweet and encouraging
words: "Ask and it shall be given;"
and many times she had proved them
to be true when fighting against her
naturally hasty temper. How many
sad scenes would be avoided if all
children would follow the example of
little Lucy.
Ifany one offend you, before an
swering try to call to mind this golden
sentence: "a soft answer turneth
away wrath; but grievOus words stir
up anger" and il you attend to it
you will save yourself hours of regret
and Bib. Rec.

Summer Eating.

We eat to keep warm and to sustain
strength, and all articles of food have
those two elements in varying proper
ton. Oils, tallow and whale blubber
are almost wholly of the warming ele.
ment; hence in Greenland, where the
thermometer is many degrees below
zero, and q great deal of heat is re-
quired, a native will drink half a doz-
en- gallons of oil every day, or ten
pounds of taIlOW. In the hottest cli-
mates of the world the inhabitants
live to a great extent on fruits and
vegetables, which have but very little
of the heating qualities. In our clim-
ate, which is between the two, meats,
vegetables and fruits are eaten all the
year round but if eaten judiciously,
if eaten according to the season
more of fruits and vegetables in sum-
mer and less of meats and fats-an in
Caiculable amount of sickness would be
prevented every year. We would
think man deraaged who should
keep as large fires burning in his house
in summer as in winter, and yet we
all persist in eating meats and fats and
butter all through the summer. Meats
and butter are on our tables three times
a day, when in reality they ought to
be sparingly used during the summer
months, at least by the young, the old
and feeble, and by all who aie most of
the time in door, or who have no ac-
tive employment. For the classes
just named very appropriate diet for
the summer would be as follows {:
Breakfast-Cold bread and butter, a
slice of cold meat, or in its place a
couple Of eggs, or a saucer Of berries or
steWed fruit without milk, cream, or
sugar. The same for dinner, with one
vegetable; no other desert. For sup
per some cold bread and butter, and a
cup of hot drink, and nothing else (;
nothing whatever between meals. So
far from starving on such a diet the
class of persons above named would
thrive on it, would grow stronger,
would have more bodily VigOr, more
mental elasticity, and a greater flow
of animal spirits, and for the reason
that few would eat too much; there
would be nothing to OveFtempt the
appetite, hence the stomach would
not be over.WOFked what work it did
perform would be we'll done; the bIOed
made would be pure, life-giving, and
/ energizing. Any man of ordinary in
telligence and observation, who will
/ give fair trial to the above spstem OF
feeding. will scarcely fail to be con-
WINGED Of its value within a week after
he begins it.-JOIsTWdL Of Health.
