Desperate Fight with a Snake.

Black snakes are not pleasant enemies to
grapple with. They are best let alone,
unless one is compelled to attack i'm self
defence, or has, sure weapons, or brave
companions to help. A California paper
gives an account of a hard battle:
One of the fiercest conflicts that we have
ever heard of was that between man by
the name of Meegan. who recently settled
on the Vidos range, in PanOehe, and 4
snake Of the black species. Meegan had
gone at an early hour on Monday morn
ing last to fell some young trees, when he
felt peculiar motion beneath his right
foot, on removing which he was thunder
struck at seeing snake raising its head
and body rapidly, and in perpendicular
direction, with eyes glazing fiercely.
Without moments hesitation and al
most without thought of the consequent
ces, Meegan grasped the body Of the snake
at distance Ofabout sixteen inches from
the head and held it firmly. Meantime the
snake was coiling around the lower part of
Meegan's body in circles, and pressing him
so severely as to lead him to believe his
bones would give way to the pressure.
The snake was now moving its head to the
right and left, darting at Meegan's head,
while he was compelled to dodge so as to
avoid the snakes attack.
Meegan at this time, finding himself
losing ground while the snake was gain
ing strength and vigor, recollected that he
had jack-knife i'm his pocket, and, after
much trouble and nerve, succeeded in get
ting hold of it, and by vigorous effort he
cut the body across, about an inch from
the spot where he held it. 1t was, per-
haps, the greatest relief he ever expert
enced to find the snakes body relaxing
and ultimately falling from him. The
head and upper part ofthe snake, although
still active, were evidently getting weaker,
and .Meegan ultimately succeeded, by
means ofhis knife, i'm Staying the reptile
altogether. 1t measured nine feet eight
inches in length. Meegan mas preserved it
in spirits, with the view of forwarding it to
San Francisco.

HOME INTERESTS.

\ CONTRIBUTOR to the Country Gentle
man furnishes that paper the following
''Chapter on Pickles. He says:
Some persons believe that the art of pick
ling originated with an evil-designed per-
soa who desired to produce an article Of
food In which there was not one trace OF
whOlesOmeness, and declare that the very
word pickle has an evil sound. Be that as
Ii may, the world must become decidedly
wiser before pickles will not be sought at
ter. both by children and grown persons !;
and believe they will be desideratuns
for school girls and school boys, as spicy
addition to their luncheon or dinner bas-
ket, even when the long-looked-for millen-
MUM arrives.
Vinegar.-This important part of pickles
should be strong and good If one desires to
attain perfection in picking. Cider vine
gar is the best article for the purpose that
can be obtained. Beer vinegar ranks next,
but white vinegar or chemists vinegar
should not be used. The addition ofalum,
to harden the pickles, is not any improve
ment upon them as an article OF diet, al
though it may improve the crispness of
their condition. Salt Injuries the life of
vinegar, and but little should be added to
it; and much boiling also decreases its
agreeable properties.
Vessels for Making and Keeping.-A por-
celain-lined kettle is the best for making
all kinds of pickles which require cooking.
Brass, copper, or tin should be used, as
the vinegar will act upon the metal. But
if necessity requires the use, great cleanli-
ness must be observed, and they must be
secured to the acme of brightness. before
putting in the vinegar. Wooden or silver
spoons, forks or knives should be EN-
ployed in preparing all kinds of pickles.
Glazed Jars on the inside must never be
used to hold acid pickles, because they
produce poisonous effect upon the vine
gar. Large-mouthed glass bottles are
decidedly the best for small quantities
while wooden firkins can be taken for
larger amounts.
Pickted 7'omatoes.-Slice thin one peck
of green tomatoes into wooden bowl, and
stir into them four or five heaping table
spoonflls of salt. Let them remain one
night. Next morning pour off the liquor
that has gathered; turn over them enough
vinegar fully to cover the whole. To each
Quart of vinegar used add ono heaping Ia
blespoonful of ground pepper, cloves, and
alIspice: also two ounces of white mustard
seed. and two onions chopped fine. Put
the whole mixture, after stirring 1t well
together, into porcelain kettle, and let it
boil just two minutes. Keep closely COW
cred, and add two or three roots OF horse
radish, sliced lengthwise, to the top OF the
pickles. This will prevent all pickles from
molding. In week it will be fit for the
table.

Psychologists and Psychologists admit that
all so-called medicines containing alcohol
whether they emanate from the regular
