A Strange Effect.

Nineteen years ago, Henry Ludding.
ton, = farmer, living two miles west Of
Galesburg, Michigan, was moving grass
on his marsh, when. STOPPING over to
pick up n bush that hc had cut of, q
=" massasauga that lurked behind it bit
him on the wrist Of his right arm. He
instantly killed the reptile, and hastened
to tho house to apply the usual remedies
in such case. Tho wrist and whole
arm commenced swelling, and finally
turned spotted like the snake. The
remedies used finally subdued the
swelling, and tho wrist became appalent-
" vol. But every year since that,
about the same time in the season that
the snake bit him. his wrist has COM
meuced swelling, tho swelling extending
up his arm to his shoulder, with sicken-
ing pain. and remains 80 for two or three
weeks, when tho swelling about the
wrist would gather to head and burst.
1t would then gradually quiet down, and
he would be relieved from all pain and
trouble from his snake bite, until the
time in the year when it first occurred
and then the pain and swelling would
commence, his arm turn spotted, and he
would suffer this distressing allliction
and swelling fer two or three weeks
again. The pHin md swelling do not
seem 10 abate, but are rather on the in
crease each year.

Passing through tho majestic gate
way Of the Garden Of the Gods in Colo
RADIO, says a writer, you find yourself in
the weirdest Of places; your rcd road
winds along over red grounds thinly
grass grown, among low cedars, pines
and frs, and through wild confusion Of
red rocks; rocks OF every conceivable
and inconceivable shnpe and size, from
pebbles up to gigantic powders, from
queer, grotesquo little monstrosities,
looking like seals, fishes, cats, or masks,
up to colossal Inonstrosities looking like
elephants, like huge gargoylcs, like
giants, like sphinxes eighty feet high,
MI bright red, NIL motionless and silent,
with strange look OF having been Just
stopped and held back in the very eli.
max OF some supernatural catastrophe.
Tho stiffness, tho absence OF living
things, the preponderance Of grotesquo
shapes, tho expression Of arrested action,
give to the whole place, in spite Of its
glory Of coloring, spite OF the grandeur
OF its vistas ending in snow.covered
peaks ouly six miles away, spite OF its
friendly and familiar ccdars and pines,
spite Of All occasional fragrance Of
clematis or smile Of n daisy or twitter Of
sparrow, spite OF all these, certain
uncannyness OF atmosphere which is at
first oppressive. 1 doubt il any one
ever loved tho Garden OF the Gods nj
first sight. Ono must feel his way to its
beauty and rarenoss, must learn it like
n new language; even il one has knowr
natures tongues well, ho will be help
less foreigner here. I have fancied tha'
its speech was to tho speech Of orlinar,
nature what tho Romany is among the
dialects OF tho civilized, fierce, wild, free
deAantly tender; and I believe no sol
Of the Romany folk has ever lived long
among the worlds people without droop
! ing and pining.

The Latest Trick.

A noted thief once told Chief Of Police
Beck Of Milwaukee, the shrewdest OF.
tice in tho country, that their business
was as much Of n profession ~ any
science can be. "ff safe is madc,
or n now lock invented, our profession,
the thief said, "must be little in ad-
vance of the inventors-hence noted
thieves are always smart men. It is
true they might, us you suggest, make
n living by turning their sharpness to n
Legitimate business; but notwithstand'
ing our mechanical abilities, we are men
OF limited culture, and thieving offers
greater inducements to US than any
other profession would do" This IL
now the generally acknowledged idea OF
professional rascals, and it is illus.
trated by case just reported. A rascal
procured the letterhead Of m insurance
company in New York and wrote to the
agent in Elizabeth apprising him that a
general manager had been appointed for
the State, and requesting him to extend
proper courtesies on his visiting Eliza
beth. This letter purported TO be signed
by the president Of the company. Next
day the swindler made his appearance,
and after examining the books, asked
the agent to cash check for sl25. Tho
Inter was only too happy to accommo;
date the agreeable manager, andreceived
n worthless strip OF paper.

4 Batch OF Anecdotes.

Az UNDERSTANDING. - Yesterday
morning after sn old lady had taken II
scot in tho train going west young
man came along and inquired il he could
have part OF the seat. AZ guess You
can, she replied, "but you want to IN.
derstand me first. No chewing tobacco,
no swearing, and no soft soaping around
SOS to get chance to pick my pocket.
After thinking the matter over he took
n seat on the woodbox.
A BAD SYsrEM.-" No, sir-no, sir,
remarked An old Detroit collector, "this
carrier system should mover have been
tolerated for day. Why. sir, seven or
eight years ago il I had bill against q
man I'd come to the post-office, and be
likely to pab him the first thing, but
now ho hires room OIL some fourth
floor, las his letters showed under tho
door, and while I'm up there knock
ing away he's looking through gimlet
hole and grinning like II Chicago alder
man "
Those SAD LEAvEs.-She, girl Of
seventeen, walked under tho naples n
month ago md gathered the golden
leaves and said: "Oh, leaves, you re-
mind mo OF crushed hopes and scat
tered plans" He, her father, found
them in nail keg the other day and
shook them down in corner OF the
woodshed and said: "There, that dog
has got Just rs good bed rs any canine
in this town."
GENERAL INsrRucTIoSs.-A Griswold
street lawyer employed a new boy tho
other day, and when the lad asked for
instructions the attorney replied {:
Your instructions are to be taken in
general. Keep the Office clean, borrow
coal whenever you can, and under no
circumstances must you ever lend my
umbrella to lawyer.
Power OF INAGISATroS.-The other
day Detroiter took home book con-
tanning several anecdotes showing tho
power OF imagination, and after reading
them to his wife he tenderly said:
"Now, Angeline, you may some timo
imagine that you hear mo kissing the
servant girl in tho other room, md you
see how base it would be to accuse mo
Of such o thing" "John Henry" she
replied, in q smooth voice, "if ever I
imagine such thing you'll need
doctor within fifteen minutes, no mat
ter what tilat book says!"
WHERE SHR WAs.-In Baker street
chr yesterday some men were talking
about the nerve Of William Tell in shoot.
ing IN apple of his sons head. To vex
IN old lady who was listening ono Of
the men said: THAT was Mr.. Tell;
but what did his wife amount to-wlly
doesn't history mention her1" "Tll
bet hundred dollars !" called the old
lady in mn excited voice, "I'll bet n
hundred dollars that she sat up half the
night before patching that boy'strowsers
so he'd look decent to go out"-Dc-
troit Free Press.

4 Fire Bug.

George II. Forward, farm hand at
Hadley Falls, Mass, has surrendered
himself to the sheriff, and asked to be
kept from incendiarism. He burned
Henry Strong's house and barn about
fortnight ago. He says he arose in the
night, took his lantern to 60 and feed
the stock, when the impulse camo on
him that there must be fire, and that
he must set it. This impulse Ind such
influence on him that he could not resist
it. His first feeling was to set his own
barn on fire, but then the idea seized up
on him to go to Mr.. Strong's. With his
lantern he went up across the lot to the
rear OF Mr.. Strong's barn, and kindled
tho hay between the cracks in tho
boards, and then ran rapidly home.
Seeing his work was cfiectual. he was
tho earliest to give the alarm. When no
saw the buildings blaziug he would have
given anything to undo his work. He
6as attempted to destroy himself since.
but could not. Tho strange story Of
Forward is probably correct, as persons
living across the river on the heights
above say that they saw the light OF q
lantern moving in field.

AT a College.

Something OF M excitement arose at
Princeton (N. J.) College over the ex.
pulsion of about forty students for dis.
obedience OF college laws. 1t seems that
for some time past secret society has
been in existence among tho students,
which was fast gaining headway and
dangerous influence, Notwithstanding
the faculty did their utmost to ferret out
the root OF it. When the existence OF
the society was discovered and its spirits
and aims exposed, the members Of it
were ordered to break it up. This they
stubbornly refused to do. The faculty
worked hard to tlissuAde them from their
amusement, but finding that it was all
to no purpose measures were then taken
to make an example Of the leading organ.
izers by cxpeIliug them. Two.thirds of
the uumberexpelled belong to the senior
class. Many Of tho other students COM
plain that tho faculty has acted hastily
and without sufficient cause, aud threaten
to create trouble unless their expelled MS.
sociates are reinstatcd. It is feared that
the boat clubs, base ball, and gymnastic
association will have to be disbandcd for
some time in consequence Of the expul'
sion Of 80 large number OF students.
Besides those already expelled, it is said
that more will soon DO subjected to the
same fate.

Care OF the Ear.

In his treatise on physiology, Hinton
gives us to understand thai the passage
OF the ear does not require cleaning by
us; nature undertakes that task, and In
tho healthy state fulflls it perfectly.
Her means for cleansing the ear is the
wax which dries up into thin scales and
peols of and falls away impercephbly.
In health the passage Of the ear is never
dirty, but an attempt to clean 1t will in
fallibly mako it so. Washing the ear
out with soap and water is bad; it keeps
the wax moist when it ought to become
dry and scaly, and makes it absorb dust.
But the most hurtiul thing is the intro.
duction Of the corner OF a towel screwed
up and twisted around. Thisproceeding
irritates the passage and presses down
the wax and flakes Of skin upon the
membrane Of the tympanum, producing
pain, inflammation and deafness. The
