The Rattles OF mathematics.

The formation Of rattles upon the tail of
a ratilesnake is a curious phenomenon. The
notion that one is developed each year is In
correct. Young ones have been known to
have six or more; sometimes two or three
appear in single year. The skin Of one
that was six feet long, now in the museum
Of the Long Island Historical Society of
Brooklyn, has thirteen rattles. DeKay
cited, in 1912, the Clarion newspaper, pub
hshed at Bolton, New York, which stated
that two men killed, in three days, in the
town of Bolton, at Lake George, 1I0s rat
tlesnakes, some Of which carried from fifteen
10 twenty rattles. They were killed Tor their
oil. The same authOr states, on the author
ity Of the C0llfmbiaa Aagdziae for Noyem-
Der, 1856, that rattlesnalze was killed hav-
ing fOrty-fOur sattles, which seems an in
credible number. The use Of the Tattles is
a subject Of discussion. They are evidently
well deyeloped-nOt rudimental merely
and the conclusion is irresistible that they
arc Of service "a the creature. We cannot
suppose that organs which are constant in a
class 81 animals could have originated, II
entirely unseryicable and useless 70 it.
Prof. Aughcy suggests that a whirring rat
tie IS a call-note BY the animal to its mate.
That il was thus used on one occasion
when he was an eye-witncss; or TO paralyze
its victim with fright, or 70 cab assistance
in danger. He says: Il once witnessed
an attack by seven hogs on rattlcsnake.
Immediately the snake ratified, and three
others appeared; but the hogs were veto
nous.

A Horse with a Long memory.

Many years ago Mr.. .h.bram Dodge, of the
town OF Ipswich, Massachusetts, owned
beautiful horse, which was the pet of the
family. He was admired by all who knew
his playfulness and good qualifications. In
the summer it was Mr.. Dodge's habit occa-
sionally to have q frolic with his horse in
the barnyard, and then let him out alone,
and he would 90 to the river, which was
about one-third Of mile distant, where he
would battle, then go to common and roll
on the grass, then, with the freedom of air,
start for his home. His stable was reno
waited for him while no was gone, and his
breakfast put in his crib. If he met his mas
ter he would show some coltish pranks,
bound for the stable, pull out the wooden
pin that fastened the door with his teeth,
and rush to the manger, where he expected
to find his food. One night the horse was
stolen from the stable. After the expiration
of sixteen years, Mr.. Dodge was at the tay-
ern when a man drove a horse up to the
door, Mr.. Dodge at one recognized his
horse, and he told the driver his reason for
believing il to be his; the man told of whom
he bought the horse, and said that he had
owned him for several years. Mr.. Dodge
claimed his horse, and it was finally agreed,
if the horse would, on being taken to his
old stable, go through the habit of bathing,
rolling on the grass and pulling the pin
from the stable door, as above described,
that Mr.. Dodge should have him. When
the horse was let out into his old yard,
he reviewed the premises for moment, then
started for his old bath-tub, then for his
green towel on the common, then to his
old stable, pulled tho wooden pin, won for
himself good meal and his old master his
favorite horse. The facts are vouched for
by reliable old residents of the beautiful,
picturesque old tOwn, and show conclu-
slvely the long memory Of ournoble animal.

The LONGS. swim on RECORD.

The Norfolk Chronicle makes the death of
Samuel Brock, a Yarmouth beachman, the
occasion of recalling his extraordinary es-
cape in October, 1886. A vessel was OBJ
served at sea about p NJ, with q signal
flying for pilot, bearing east, distance
about twelve miles. Brock, who belonged
to Layton's company, with nine Others,
launched the yawl Increase, and steered for
the object of their enterprise. About 4
O'Clock they came upiwith the vessel, which
proved to be the Spanish brig Paquettee de
Bilboa. Three of the beschmen went on
board, and the remainder of tho crew the
-yawl were sent away. On their way home
a terrific squall took tho yawl's sails fiat
aback, and she capsized. In a few minutes
all the crew, with the exception of Brock,
were drowned It was then about G 80 P.
n, and the nearest land was six miles dis
tant-dead low water; and Brock remem-
bered that the flood tide would be setting off
shore, making to the southwark, so that
should he ever reach the shore he would
have TO swim and float at least fifteen miles.
The swell Of the sea drove him over tho
Cross Sand Ridge, and he then got sight of
the buoy of st. Nicholas Cat, nearly oppo-
site his own door, distant four miles from the
land. He had now been FIVE hours in the
water. BE next caught sight of vessel at
anchor. He got within two hundred yards
of the vessel, and hailed her; boat was at
once lowered, and at I 80 a. NJ, having
swan seven hours and a half on an october
night, no was safe on board the brig Betsey,
of Sunderland, nearly fifteen miles from the
spot where the boat Increase was capsized.

Last Tuesday week q party OF Indians
came down within six miles Of Town snd
drove OF about one hundred head Of the
finest stock horses to be found in Erath

500. 900.
The following, among others, IRE the

Der not known.
p The Indians left that night and made di-
rect for the rOughs Of the Leon, some
twenty-five or thirty miles to the northwest,
intending, we presume, to there conceal
themselves and booty Tor tine, and then
press westward TO their destination; but in
this particular instance they were too san.
guine. At the time they were nearing the
place where they had doubtless secreted
their ill-gOtton gains from the eagle-eyed
frOntieFsman on previous occasions, they run
into "a band OF Texas cowboys who were
not a bit afraid of their warpaint which
changed the phase OF the situation to the
terror of the mobile red man Of the forest y
It being the pride Of the cowboy to kill
an Indian, they let fly at the dusky brothers
Of Governor Davis three or four times, and
we learn that they ''settled the hash " with
one Of them, although they did not get the
pleasure of "lifting his hair"

terror to red skins and cattle thieves.
Since the above was put in type, we learn
that the cow boys wounded three in addi-
ton to theone killed. We also learn that
the Palo Pinto Rangers did not go on the

is the best that the brag rangers can do,
they had better disband.
Mr. Matz, who is just down from East

which an immense dish containing four pea
cocks stands in the center of the table, sur
mounted by Holsters, one holding blue
egg in its claws, another a stuffed rat, an
other an oyster and the fourth basket full
OF grasshoppers. At the bottom of the tai

A WmRLwrD.-The Colorado City (Col. }
Register of December z contains the follow
ingstory: "a gentleman was walking down
Virginia canon the other day. There was
no perceptible breeze at the time Suddenly
he was surprised by a roaring noise behind
him-a noise like that of an express train
when crossing bridge or passing rocky
wall. Stopping q moment to listen, a
whirlwind, apparently not more than yard
in diameter, and travelling no faster than q
spirited walk, picked him up, as it were,
and walked off d6wn the road with him.
It's vertical force was sufficient to invert the
tails of his coat above his head, notwith-
standing the pockets were loaded with spec
linens of silver ore, and at the same time he
was carried along for hundred feet or more
like feather, with both feet occasionally
off the ground, while under him was noise
like an empty cart bouncing over stony
street."

not be expected that other States will Co
