Killed by a Rattlesnake.

A. S. Heep and some friends started
out with view to examine some land
to determine its adaptability for graz
ing purposes. They had travelled some
distance when their attention was
aroused by sharp whirring noise.
Not being acquainted with the sound of
a rattlesnake's warming, the party kept
advancing and only stopped when the
venomous reptile, which was coiled
and secreted in dense tuft of grass
and weeds, sprang forth and buried its
poisoned, death-bearing fangs clear
through the wooden clothes Heep wore,
into the main artery of his left leg, just
above the knee. Involuntarily, as he
felt the pain of the bite of the snake, he
leaned forward to examine the wound,
and as he did so, the reptile, which had
again coiled up, sprang forward and
struck him On the right cheek, about
an inch below the eye. By this time
his friends came forward and dispatched
the reptile. No remedies were at hand.
Rapidly the deadly poison diffused it
self through his veins his limbs began
to swell the pupils of his eyes to dis
tend, and soon he was In the throes Of
death. He died in twenty minutes af-
ter being bitten.-Fresro (Cat) Expos

A Will with Curious Antecedents.

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court in regard to the property of the
late Robert Roberts, Jr., of Medfeld,
brings to light Renaissance of the
reign of terror in France. It appears
that the elder Robert Roberts was a
sea captain at that time, and when
about returning from France wealthy
Frenchman applied for passage to this
country in order to escape the heads
mans az. He shipped his effects, in
Guiding 500, 1000 in gold, but, before he
could get away, he was arrested and
beheaded. Capt. Roberts Immediately
put to sea, not daring to remain in
French waters after having attempted
to aid man in escaping, returned to
this country, settled in Mdfeld, and in
vested the 100000. Upon his death
he placed it In trust in the hands of the
Hospital Life Insurance Company, and
by the terms of his will the income only
could be used by the junior Roberts,
the principal to be given to his chill
dren. Roberts, Jr., died recently, hav-
ing been married twice, and leaving no
children except an adopted child, this
child having been adopted by himself
and last wife. There was an informality
in the adoption, but, nevertheless, the
Supreme Court has decided that the
property belongs to the child, although
there were nine other claimants, mostly
nephews and nieces of the junior Rob-
erts. The case has been through a
long and tedious course of law, but the
800, 600 has found legal owner at last.

The Spread of Cholera.

Recent Investigations In regard to
the nature of cholera, when regarded
from one point of view, are by no means
reassuring. Physicians of repute are
not at variance in the opinion that in
giving pandemic extension to the dis
ease the power of human intercourse is
not irrespective of important qualitica-
tions in regard to time and place, but
they hold also that, those qualifications
granted, human intercourse is the es-
sential agent in the propagation of this
most terrible disorder. DIR. Simon, the
medical officer of the English Local
Government Board, has recently shown
that for European Russia, and probably
for all Europe-as for America also
the infection is slowly assimilating itself
in this respect to the typhoid fever, a
bowel infection of by no means rare &C.
currence. The probability of having
cholera common and uupreventable
disease cannot be regarded except with
dismay, although as it shall become
more frequent III its attacks it will be
likely to become less virulent and be
more easily dealt with by sanitary regu--
lation. In regard to its approaches En-
gland has abandoned Quarantine as
useless, and in other countries has been
proved to be more or less futile. Proper
defenses against it consist only IN judi
cious sanitary regulations such as every
city and town is competent to form for
itself. Such defenses have done much
to lessen the frequency and virulence OF
typhoid fever, and win be equally valu-
able as against cholera. It is well for
us to think of such things in time.

Nazareth.

A traveller in the Holy Land describ-
ing the birthplace of Christ, writes as
follows:
The population of Nazareth is prob
ably about 1000. It's situation, al
though not particularly beautiful, is
rather striking. 1t is built on the hill
side, and, from our camp, which was
somewhat below, and at little dis
lance from the town, we could have
something like bird's-eye view of the
place, the houses towering one above
the other.
There is a large Latin convent here,
which the monks claim covers the
site of the house where Mary lived,
and in which she received the angel
Gabriel.
The most marvellous part of the
story, however, is that the house itself
is now in Italy. There is tradition
of course without the least historic
testimony-that when the infdels
triumphed over the Christian arms in
this Holy Land, the angels took special
charge of the sacred house, and con-
veyed it first to Dalmatia, and after
wards to Loretto, in Italy, and to-day
the "Santa lara," or holy house of
Loretto, is probably the most fire.
quented shrine in the world, being
visited every day by crowds of pious
pilgrims, who never doubt as to its
identity.
The traveller is also shown in Naz-
areth the workshop of Christ, or,
rather, of Joseph, where the Savior is
supposed to have worked at the car
penter's trade. But this is to be re-
garded with about as much credulity as
most other holy places in Palestine,
that is to say, with a good deal of
doubt.
From the hill that rises back OF Naz-
areth we had one of the most charming
views that we have enjoyed in any part
of our travels. We had the rich green
plain of Esdraelon on the south, dotted
on it's southern edge with numerous
little villages, among which we could
distinguish Main and Endor, the former
the place where the widows son was
restored to life, and the latter the
place noted for Sauls interview with
the witch. To the west was Mount
Carmel with the Mediterranean wash
ing its base, and away in the north we
could see the snowy top of Mount
Hermon, while to the east we had Mount
Tabor, with its dome-ike top.

EXPENSIVE Rat.Faning.

An Elkton man was bothered with
the rats, and, hearing that they were
fond of CLAIMS, put up game on the
rodents. Procuring a number of BIZ
valves, and opening the shells, he
plentifully sprinkled them with arsenic,
and placed them where the rats could
find them. About ten days later the
man and his family were living in a
tent, and the house was being over
hauled by gang of carpenters. The
well-water didn't taste good either; so
while a well-digger was investigating
it, the family got their water from a
spring about mile distant. The re-
suit of the inquiry was seven rats under
the floor and three in the well. The
total cost of laborers and disinfectants
was 500, or SO rat.

only glass, as any one can tell. Here
this simple peasant girl would know
better than to purchase these for true
stones. What say you ?"
As he spoke he handed the glittering
trinket to the Circassian girl who had
been claimed by the two men. He
smiled encouragingly, and she took the
jewel. She weighed it upon the end of
her finger, and then touched it to her
tongue.
"Is it not glass ?" asked the Mol
lab.
"No, sir" the girl confidently re-
piled. 81 should say it was a pure
ruby and of great price !"
"Ah say you so ? And tkese-are
these also stones p
And he handed her the Jewels in
dispute. She took them, touched
them each to her tongue in turn, and
then said:
"The first, sir, was true stone but
these are all glass"
cit is as 1 thought" returned the
Mollah. The first was a ruby of my
own. These others are but worthless
limitations.
And he decreed that the merchant
should pay back the full price he had
received, and that the baubles should
be destroyed. And as, in pleading, the
culprit still persisted in declaring that
he sold the stones in good faith, the
Judge further decreed that the officers
should affix over the door of his shop
board with this inscription upon it:
The merchant vithin is liable to sell
glass for pure stones. Treat Nth him
accordingly.
The dishonest diamond merchant re-
funded the money he had received for
his false stones, and went away with
the assurance that if he removed the
placard which should be placed above
his door his ears would be split.
Then the old Mollah turned to the
Circassian girl.
"Girl, said he, sternly, "you belong
to the jewel-merchant Mustapha. GO
with him, and be it his to punish you
for your falsehood.
Galbec started forward with cry
of wrath and dismay, still claiming the
girl as his.
"Stop," interrupted Ben-Ahmed.
"The wife of simple peasant, reared
as you claim your wife to have been
reared, could not judge of precious
stones so quickly and so unerringly.
She belongs to the wel-merchant, who
had educated her after his calling. But
that shalt not go off bootless, Galbec.
Thou shalt pay to Mustapha the sum of
twenty piasters for the service of his
slave, and for thy false swearing thou
shalt be taken out with About Muzza-
far and receive fifty lashes of the basti-
nado."
/ witnessed others of the old Mollah's
judgments, and left him with feel
ing of respect and veneration.
"Think of it." cried my friend the
sheriff, when / told him the story,
'just imagine that Mollah to have been
in the place of one of our judges with
two smart lawyers and an average jury

ne.Legged Pants and Cavalry Boots.


A one-legged soldier walking up the
Bowery, New York, the other day, was
accosted by clothing merchant with
the usual "Sell you something to-
day ?" Entering the store the veteran
was invited to inspect the large stock,
but having looked through the array of
coats and vests and trousers, he turned
to go, saying that he saw nothing there
that would suit him.
"Vell, vat you wants ?"
e. want pair of ore-legged panta-
looms.
"Vos dat all ? Yacob, bring me one
of dem one-legged graypants on dot pile
in the corner.
In few minutes Jacob returned and
reported that the pair had been sol1.
Meanwhile the partner next door who
had been listening through the thin
partition had mapped ont plan of
campaign against the one-legged Grip
pie. "Yohn," he whispered to an at
tendant, "cut me off de leg of one of
dem gray pants. Send him up quick. :"
By the time this had been done the
soldier hobbled out of the first store
only to be inveigled into the second.
Again he went through the inspection
of odds and ends, and again demanded
one-legged trousers, intimating that he
didn't believe the trade had them.

The newly altered trousers were pro-

himself up as lost. But as he spread
them before him he became conscious,
as did the dealer, of something wrong.
"Mein Colt Fadder Abraham

Another of the Chatham street dealers
had what he called army brogans and
cavalry boots. An ex-soldier purchased
a pair of the latter one rainy day, but
returned to the store within few min
utes, complaining that the soles were
of pasteboard and had already soaked
to pulp.
