DON'T FRET.--Some people are too fat,
some too lean; in their own opinion. Now,
it's foolish to fret over trifles like these rest
assured that Nature manages everything for
the best. If man is fat or lean and feels
well, having all the bodily functions acting
regularly, with sound sleep, and no discomfort
after eating, he should by all means let him.
self alone. Most persons want to have little
more flesh want to weigh more; few want
to weigh less. Some, in the effort to increase
their weight. have eaten by rule and reason,
instead of being guided by their instinct, have
accomplished their object with the addition
of some chronic disease. Others, being too
bulky for their pride, have paid for their fas-
tidousness by bringing on incurable malad-
les, as result Of the too free use Of vinegar,
or by chewing tea. In several cases, Bright's
disease Of the kidneys has set in and destroy
ed life. Perhaps the safest way to get lean is
TO work hard, and live mainly on fruits, bread
and butter, berries, tomatoes, melons, and
the like, using meats and vegetables only at
dinner-time.

THE FEMALE TEMpER.-No trait Of char
acter is more valuable in female than the
possession of u sweet temper Home can
never he made happy without it. II is like
the flowers that spring up in our pathway, re-
viyng and cheering us. Let n man go home
at night wearied and worn our by the tolls of
the day, and how soothing is a word dictated
by good disposition 1t is sunshine falling
upon the heart. He is happy AMI the cares
of life are forgotten. A sweet temper has n
soothing influence too over the minds of tho
whole family. Where it is found in the wife
and mother, you observe Kindness aud love
over the natural feelings of !,
bad heart. Smiles kind words and lopks
the children, and peace and love
have their dwelling there. Study, then, to
acquire and retain a sweet temper It is more
valuable than gold, and capivtates more than
beauty, and to the close OF life retains all it's
powers.

A HUGE RIvER.--The Amazon transccnds
in length, breadth and magnifccnce the Mis-
sissipp, the Nile and Yangste. It is about
1000 miles in extreme length, and 1870 miles
wide at Its mouth. Thirty-iive miles inland
Its width is 10 miles, and distance of 800
miles from its mouth it measures 500 yards in
width. The region traversed by this flood Of
waters is uncqualed in the wealth and variety
OF its timber, but it is uninhabited except by
savage tribes. The soil 10 unexcelled in
fertility. 1t abounds in caoutchouc, cocoa,
Brazil nuts, hides, sarsaparilla and other mcdi
cal drugs and roots, which can be utilized te
supply the world. Cotton is indigenous te
the soil and climate, and can supply an nm

THE FIRST RAILRoAD.--To New jersey
belongs tho honor of granting the first char
ter ever given for railroad in the United
States, and to New Brunswick is due the hon.
or of being its final terminus. About 1911,
Col. John Stevens presented memorial to
the Legislature to authorize railroad in this
state, and in February, 1915, a law was pass
cd Incorporating the New Jersey Railroad
Company which was to be constructed from
New Brunswick to Trenton At that time the
Raritan River was scarcely second to the Hud-
son III the amount Of traffic and travel that
passed over it. Regular lines of steamboats,
piled between there and New York, and near
ly all the travel between that city and Phila-
delpha came to this place by water, proceed
ed by stage or huge wagons from here to
Trenton, and thence continued on to Phila-
delphia by the Delaware. The first railroad
projected in the United States was designed
to supercedc the stages and wagons, and fur
nish means for the more convenient and rapid
transit of travellers and freight between the
Raritan and the Delaware. ~ b. Tsn.ss

SNAKES IN sovrn AMERICA.

There are great many venomous snakes
In Central America ami the West India
Islands. The rattlesnake abounds in Demc-
rara, and believe the bush-master the IT,
gerillo in Santa Martha. This is venomous
little beast that kills in a couple of hours l
recollect walking one evening with ship
mate along one of the acacia-shadcd lanes
outside the city of Santa Martha, when one of
these snakes coiled round his leg He fortu-
nately had a whip in his hand with which he
struck and killed it, The rat-tail snake, so
called because its tail is prolonged and finish
ed like that of the rats vicious animal,
the poison being very active.
The history of the rat-tail snake in Martini
ique is rather peculiar. 1t fourishes there to
such an extent that of late years every cane
piece that was cut was accountable for at least
one death by snake-bite. 1t was originally
imported to destroy rats-its favorite prey
which infested and destroyed the sugar cane.
Within the last few years the people of Mar
Unique have adopted another member of the
snake Brotherhood non-poisonous but very
voraciouJ Species. The carpst-snlke is a
black snake with n white belly, and he APP
pears to have conceived the most insatible en-
nifty against the rat-tail snake A sight of
one throws him into a state of semi-insar;ty,
and If you find a gorged carpet-snake, his meal
er than himself. The most marvellous thing
is that the rat-tail appears to become quite
paralyzed and his poison, If used, has no eff
feet on the other snake. On one occasion
saw carpet-snake thrown alive into bottle
of white rum. AS he struggled in death,
curious phenomenon arose he appeared to
grow longer, commencing at his head, the
growing half being of different color. At
last, when the struggles, gyrations, and twist
ings ceased, it was found that he had disgorg-
ed the whole Of a rat-tail snake, except the
head !; he died with that in his jaws. The
rat-tail is fast disappearing before the carpet
snake in Martinique, but it still remains in
sufficient numbers in both that island and St.
Lucia to render it necessary for the pedestri-
an to be careful where he puts his foot
Death generally follows in an hour If the un-
covered flesh is bitten.
The choice between being squeezed to death
or poisoned is generally open to the traveller
in tropical America, some of the constructor
snakes being of enormous size and strength.
Picking your steps through swampy bit,
and finding the log you are about to step upon
is an enormous boa constructor or having I'M
dressed in shady nook to revel In noun
tain stream, the Thermometer at a hundred in
the shade, to find yourself pursued by a little
water-snake they are always ready to fight,
with death for a dozen strong men in his
fangs; or, instead of mellow guaya, you
put your hand on tree-snake--are some of
the pleasing adventures Ito read about which
wanderers under the sun meet with.

IS IT WORTH WHxkE,
