A Reptile in Young Lady's Stomach.

There is a young lady living within
mile and a quarter of Christiana who for
four wears past has been suffering with
violent fainting spells, that came on peri
odically, and are produced by the stran-
Cling caused by some kind of reptile
which comes up into her throat. She is
choked to such an extent that her muscles
become rigid-her eXtremities cold, the
pupils of her eyes dilated, and the skin
breaks on her hands and face, and she is
in all other particulars thoroughly con-
vulsed. She is only relieved by the
reptile itself, being, as it is thought, par
TALLY choked, Withdrawing into the
stomach.
The reptile has at various times been
seen by different persons. On one occa-
sion Methodist preacher was visiting at
the home of her parents when she was
seized with one of the usual attacks, and
the parasitical object even came out of her
mouth, land was grasped by the minister.
Being of very superstitious turn Ofmind,
she had conceived the idea that its death
was her death, and refused to have it re
moved, although that could at that time
have been easily accomplished. The
minister avowed that the reptile felt as
cold and clammy as any other snake, but
that it offered no particular resistance
when he clutched it with his hand. When
it made its appearance outside the mouth
it curled its head rather under the chin,
but when let loose went Immediately

with its horrible tongue, and then recedes
again.
The physicians in attendance are anx-
iously awaiting an opportunity to effect
a removal, and are keeping constant watch
for the appearance of the reptile, which,
so far has been ascertained, is about hall
an inch in diameter, of dark color, with
a sort of hairy coating, but no one is capa.

Feeding a Spring Colt.

| don't care what any one says to the
contrary, every day the sun shines in
winter the colt should be allowed to run
at large, either in the yard or close, for
air and sunshine are as essential to a
colts health and thorough, vigorous
growth as to vegetation; and though some
may suppose that the picking of little
grass in green spots will take the appe-
tite OFF OF hay, oats and bran, it is ''no
such thing" on the contrary, it will
sharpen the digestion and produce appe-
tite, and in this case, with daily range over
any old natural grass sod, oats may be
given freely; half peck per day would
not be too much If avery fine yearling be
desired.
Ii there is no convenience for having
air and exercise In the light and influence
OF the sun, oil meal will be beneficial !;
but in such dilemma it would be we'll
to teach the animal to lead and have it
out with halter; for young stock of any
kind kept in through a winter will be-
come weak and miserable. Hay made
from early cut grass would be excellent; :
as for chat, about equal measure with the
oats and bran will be very well to make
it chew the oats better, which, in nv
opinion, is the only argument in favor of
chaff.
Thousands of colts of the farm draft
horse breed are raised in England, which
lie in small field with a shed to run un-
der at pleasure, and where they have some
nice sweet hay once day. in fine, mild
weather, and twice during cold spells.
These colts are stronger, and have grown
more during the winter than any kept in
confinement, without open air and SUM-
shine. Then, again, there is no occasion
to be particular about the quantity of
food of any kind when treated as I sug-
gest; the only attention necessary is to
give enough, and find out what that is by
not letting any waste occur, which of
course requires that, whenever any is left,
less must be given till it is always cleared
up.
My work horses and mules are always
fat as working animals should be, and
were last winter; they had then oat-straw,
hay, and corn in the ear-the latter de-
creased when idle; they eat straw once in
tTenty-four hours greedily, as change;

Most Righteous Justice.

JUSTICE BoYDEN had a pretty hard case
to settle yesterday, but he did it in an
eminently satisfactory manner A young
fellow, Daniel Sullivan by name, appeared
before the South Side Police Court
charged with the larceny of lap blanket
To the surprise of everybody he pleaded
guilty. The Judge was astonished, and
by dint of few leading questions found
that the prisoner, who claimed that he
had never stolen before in his life, had
taken the blanket with view of raising
upon 1t enough money to purchase
meal. The man, as he stood in the court.

story was that he had worked all summer
on the Chicago g. Pacific Railroad, but,

employment and into hospital, from
which he emerged last December.

the summer lasted him until re-

Better Whistle Than Whine.

AS was taking a walk early in Sep
TENDER | noticed two little boys on their
way to school. The smaller stumbled
and fell, and, though he was not very much
hurt, he began to whine in a babyish way,
not regular, roaring boy-cry, as though
he was halfkilled, but a little, cross
whine.
The older boy took his hand in kind
and fatherly way, and said:
ooh, never mind, Jimmy; don't whine
it is great deal better to whistle"
And he began in the merriest way a
cheerful boy-whistle.
Jimmy tried to join in the whistle.
Il can't whistle as nice as you, Char
lie," said he; "my lips won't quicker up
good"
ooh, that is because you have not got
all the whine out yet" said Charlie; " but
you try minute, and the whistle will
drive the whine away"
So he did, and the last I saw or heard
of the little fellows they were whistling
away as earnestly as though that was the
chief end of life. l learned lesson
which hope | shall not soon forget, and
it called out these few lines, which may
possibly cheer another wilmer of mature
years, as this class is by no means con-
fined to the children:
1t is better to whistle than whine;
1t is better to laugh than to cry,
For tn ugh it is cloudy, the sun will soon
shine
Across the blue, beautiful sky.
1t is better to whistle than whine,
man, with the sorrowful brow,
Let the words of the child scatter murmurs Of
thine,
And gather his cheerfulness now
1t is better to whistle than whine,
Poor mother SO weary with care,
Thank God for the love and the peace that are
thine,
And the joy of thy little ones share.
1t is better to whistle than whine,
Though troubles you find in your way,
Remember that wise little fellow of mine
And whistle your whining away.
God bless that brave boy for the cheer
He brought to this sad heart of mine;
When tempted to murmur that young voice I
hear,
sit is better to whistle than whinel''

Rolling the Ground.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Germantown
Telegraph writes:
" On dry or wet ground the effect of
the roller is found to be salu-
tary. Plowed and prepared for sowing,
dry land is much helped by the roller
The blades of grass spring up sooner and
retain firmer hold in the earth. In a
season of drought, rolling has saved the
crop when without it the seed would
have never sprung from the ground. In
wet and heavy ground it is believed the
roller, smoothing and hardening the sur
face, will leave the soil Immediately be-
meath the surface in better condition to
generate the seed. On grass ground that
has been heaved by the frost the roller
has an excellent effect in fixing the roots.
Rolling the ground is also good when the
land has been laid down unevenly the
previous year. If the land is too dry, wait
till just after a soaking rain, and it will
work capital4y. 1t is good idea to roll
plowed sowed ground before narrowing,
as it presses down the burrows that would
be turned back, and makes the surface less
uneven, and the harrow pulverizes it
much. We find that on an average not
one farmer in four has roller"

tiers "long gone by" In 1172 the temper
allure was so high that leaves came out on
the trees in January, and birds Matched
their broods in February. In 1889 the winter
was equally mild, and the maidens of
Cologne wore wreaths of violets and corn
flowers at Christmas and on Twelfth Day.
In 1881 the trees lowered in the month of
March and the vines in the month of
April. Cherries ripened in the same
month, and grapes appeared in May. In
1872 the trees were covered with leaves in
January and the birds Matched their
young in February, as in 1172; in 1856
the same thing was repeated, and it is
added that the corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters of
1888, 1907, 1909, 1917 and 1859; finally, in
1862, even in the north of Germany, the
stoves were not lighted and trees bios
somed in February. Coming to later
dates, the winter of 1846-47, when it thun-
dered at Paris on the 28th of January,
and that of 1866, the year of the great in
undation of the Seine, may be mentioned
as exceptionally mild

MODERN MEDICAL DIscovERY.-Iti is
claimed that disease, with few excep-
tions, has been conquered by the research
and intellect of enlightened men and yet
a noted professor of New York admits
that "of all sciences, medicine is the most

nually slaughtered in the sick room."
Certain schools" of medicine are in ex-
istence, one of which snakes the patient

relying upon nature to effect her own
cures. DIR. j. WALKER of California, an
old and respected physician, tried both
modes of treatment and both failed. He
then appealed to natures curative-herbs;
and now enjoys rugged health. He has
given the benefit of his discovery to the
world, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs,
and since its introduction has sold a
quantity almost large enough to make a
small harbor, or to float the :" Great East

by grateful thousands. 81

DoN'T TAMPER WITH CoLD.-Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui
manity is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as a temporary affection
unpleasant, and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-C Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
riVulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy
enemyto thwart, il met by the proper remedy.
4llen's Lung Baisana is the great cough remedy
of the age. and it has earned its reputation by
merit alone. Sold by all good druggists.
