INHABITED BY A SNAKE.
Something for Miss Thankful Taylor to
be Thankful For.

\ certain young lady in Tennessee has
recently relieved herself of a snake twenty
three inches in length and a third Of an
inch in diameter. Her name In Thankful
Taylor The reptile is supposed to have
inhabited her for the last four years, du-
ring which time she has suffered intense
pain, and frequently so severe as to pro
dGcc conyulsions. Size would lose her
mind, and remain sometimes in death
ike state for twenty-foGr or thirty-six-
hours. At times her suffering was so great,
her skin would split open, and the flesh up
on her head split 50 much, Il became ne
ccsssry to cut her hair of very short, in
which condition it IS ROW, and the scars
arc perccptblc to all
On June 26, just after dark. as the
family were seated about the door, she arose
from her pallet on the floor rushed out Of
the west door Of the cabin. and. IL stranc-
ling manner, ran some fifteen or twenty
steps, and fell upon her knees The fami-
y, supposing her in Spasm. ran after her,
and her little brother. reaching her first,
called dack to his mother that that thing
was in siss mouth" Her step-brother
caught and held her from behind, she all
the while making desperate efforts to get
loose, and appeared strangling 10 death
Her mother finding ''the thing in her
mouth, as though it had come up headfore-
most, and in going back the same way had
doubled itself, made q loop, in which she
put her finger, and held it until the Doc
tor came, who had been sent for instantly,
and arrived in few minutes from his
home, some four hundred yards of. The
mother. remembering the Doctors injunc-
tions, held fast, and as it tried TO worm Il
self back into the stomach, she called upon
her daughter to close her teeth upon it,
which her daughter says she did aud there
is certainly upon the snake, just where she
would have taken hold, unmistakable signs
Of marks that might have been made by
teeth. So soon as the Doctor arrived, he
took hold of it and drew it out IL making
efforts to get down, but coming up with
tie use Of but little strength.
The physician who attended the young
lady has made sworn statement, substan-
tiating the above account, and the reptile
has been preserved in alehol. This must
satisfy science.

HOW THERMOMETERS ARE MADE.

\ writer in the PolytecI,njc B,,3i~tia
gives the following description of the method
Of making Thermometers at the manufactur-
ing establishment in Chester, Pa:
The glass tubes, as received, are about a
yard long. \ boy picks them with hard
Steel knife, and breaks them into the
lengths required The bores, which are
fat, are compared by means of q lens with
those Of ten standard sizes, and the tubes
assorted accordingly They are then pass
ed to the blowpipe table Each glass
blower has foot bellows, and uses an oil
lamp. Melting the glass at one end Of the
tube. he blows II into a bulb 10y pressing
the sides Of hollow india-rubber ball at
tached at the other, PFoPortioning the size
Of his bulb to the bore Of lis tube, and as
certaining the size by using pair of cali
pers. While the bulb Is hot, the tube Is
inverted in mercury, which. as the bulb
cools, partially fills IT, The tube Is then
Withdrawn and short india rubber tube
attached at is open end. Iato this mer-
cury is poured that in the bulb Is boiled
To expel the air, which rises mp through
the mercury in the india rubber tube, and
an atmosphere Of the vapor Of mercury
nov fills tie glass tube and bulb As this
condenses, the mercury in the india-rubber
tube takes lis place, when this tube, with
amy mercury remaining in 1t, Is removed.
The tube is now warmed, and the open end
of the glass tube Theoretically sealed
The bulb and portion of the tube are
immersed in melting Ice. and the height
of the mercury marked they are then

realization of failure or success. At length
a slight tremor was detected in the
ibres Of the cord. \ ray of hope cleaned

key he experienced slight shock attended
with a feeble spark increasing in power
and briiliancy till caution forbade further
experiments Thus lightning itself was

brate. as far back as 1882, while steaming
upon the broad Atlantic saw through his

Electro-magnet Telegraph, and while
Investigating one OF the grandest enterprises

phlcgmatic compaions around him, only
laughed AZ his supposed lunacy.

made to Congress for the requisit funds,

honorable functionaries at Washington

by them till 1913. when the required aid
was appropriated. Thus struggled along

sum of thirty thousand dollars. one Of the
most impcrtomt discoveries ever revealed

Hanging of Moody and Rosentine.

HABRIsBURG, July 9.-Louis Rosentine
ana John Moody were hanged in the jail
yard here to-day for the murder, in No
vember. 1873, OF Abran Benin, an old far
mer OF Dauphin county About two hun
dred persons witnessed the execution. At
eleven i. u. a lunch was served to the
condemned men, Of which they partook
with Il relish Rosentine made the remark
that it was their last meal on earth, and he
hoped their next would be in Heaven. At
1925 o'clock the prisoners were brought
into the jail yard, accompanied by the
Clergy and Moody's wife and father
Moody and Rosentine ascended the scaffold
with very firm steps. 4 hymn was sung,
the prisoners joining with great animation.
At l2:40 p. VI, the spiritual exercises be
ing concluded, Rosentine made a short
address He hoped every man would
forgive him as he knew God had forgiven
him. lie hoped TO meet them all in Heaven
He said, Il bless all who pray for ME.

! bid you all good bye. May God have
mercy on my soul Amen" Moody then
made long speech, but it was very
incohercnt. The substance of it was that
he was along with Rosentine and deserved
to die he hoped for forgiveness. He
thanked his attendants for their kind
treatment. He prayed God to bless all
his friends. He hoped TO meet his mother
in Heaven White bags being placed over
their heads and their hands and feet
pinioned, at 1880 o'clock the drop fell
with a loud thud Rosentine died almost
instantly, no movement being noticeable,
with the exception of slight heaying of
the chest Moody struggled considerably
Tor three or four minutes. After hanging
about thirty minutes life was pronounced
extinct.

She was expecting him Sunday night

to know how his mother was if his father

so as not to retain his voice Then con

finally said it was beautiful evening. and
she replied that her father had predicted a

to hang powder horn on the end. and
she said she didn't belicYe it would either.

bit her handkerchief and admitted her
ignorance. He said he could name dozen
young men who were going to get married
