Fantastic Hosiery.

The New York World says: The silk
hose come in fancy boxes, four pairs III
a box, from $40 to $50 n box. The four
pairs are all of different colors, and each
pair is embroidered OF clicked in diff
ferent design. The artists and design
er's skill is seen on every pair. Some
are pure, others pearl, and others cream
white some pale blue, rose color, mauve,
drab, brown, in al shades; red, from
scarlet to deep crimson; and gray from
the darkess London smoke to the palest
lead color. Exquisite combinations in
strongly-contrasted colors appear i'll en-
broidery on the sides, running half way
up the leg, or to the swell of the calf
above the ankle, and sometimes covering
the whole instep. Sometimes the en-
broidery is of the same color as the stock
ings, long lines running between the
open lace-like clocks, terminating in
fiori-form points half way between the
knee and the ankle. The iustep of
pair of white silk hose is sprinkled over
with tiny rosebuds and leaves i'll natural
colors, the pure green and red. Another
pair has a beehive on the instep, with
bees swarming i'll lines that terminate in
points below the garter; another pair is
striped lengthwise i'll alternate inch
bands of blue and rose color, each stripe
ending in steeple, or vandyke, at the
same point, defined on a solid
ground of drab or lead color.
The tops of the vandykes are or
with embroidery il flowers.
Again, another pair is scarlet, with gold
color or bright blue embroidered clock
ing on the sides. Some are striped hori-
in narrow bands of blue and
rose color, or rose and lead color, inter
sected by lengthwise lines of embroidery
and open clocking. Others again are of
plain, solid colors-blue, apple green,
rose color, scarlet and crimson, purple
brown and gray, i'll all shades, but knit
OF woven III ribs to form lengthwise
lines. All of this hosiery is long enough
TO garter far above the knee. They say
that in Paris choice and fastidious wo-
men are having the tops of their fine
hose trimmed with Valenciennes, Cluny
md Duchesse lace. 1t is put on full
enough to admit of being huted. Elk
luisite garters, with gold and silver buck
es, and some even jeweled, are
shown to go with this costly hosiery.
The carriers are also trimmed with
'osettes of real lace.

How a Snake Charmed A Roy.

For the last two weeks son of Allen
Rogers, aged eleven years, a wood-cuttei
on the Blue Mountains, about three
miles from Hamburg, has been in the
haiti of leaving his fathers house every
morning about 3 o'clock, and not re.
turning till noon. The parents of the
boy have questioned him several times
as to where he went, and the boy would
reply, to play with neighboring boy
named Springer. On Friday last the
father watched his son, and followed at
a short distance, and when about half
mile from the house, the boy entered a
piece of thick sprout land, in from the
road some two hundred yards, where he
seated himself upon large rock, and in
less than zen minutes the father was hor-
rified on seeing monster black snake
crawl upon the rock and put its head on
the boys lap. The father states that
the snake was the largest he ever saw on
the hills. He states that it was easily
fifteen feet long, and as thick rs his arm,
which is we'll developed. The boy had
taken bread with him and was feeding
the snake, which at intervals would stick
large tongue out, as if kissing for
more to eat. Then it would coil itself
around the neck and body of the boy,
and play, with its mouth and neck, with
the boys hands. The father had often
heard of snakes charming children, and
that if they were disturbed while they
We're in the act, they would kill the
child. As the father turned to leave his
boy with his deadly companion, he
turned back, and the snake, hearing
noise, at once uncoiled itself, and raised
its body mt least four feet from the
ground and looked in all directions, and
then it returned to the boys lap, and the
father returned home and awaited the
boys return, which was, as usual, at
noon. When told that he had been
playing with the snake, the boy said the
first morning he met the snake he liked
to play with it; then he took it food,
and he was so much pleased with his
that something tod him that
he must meet the snake every morning
One morning he said he was late, and
when he reached the place the snake was
up, and it came out TO meet
him, and followed him to the rock.
There is something very strange a. out a
snake charming, not only children, but
have read of adults coming under their
charms. There is certainly some truth
IN the fascinating powers of snakes.
On Saturday morning the father and
TWO of his neighbors went to the place
with guns, and at the usual time the
snake made its appearance, when all fred

No Time for Anything.

The great difficulty in this country is,
that we have no time for anything. The
very walk of an American shows that he
is in hurry. An Englishman buttons
his coat and goes to business as deliber-
ately as he goes to church. An Ameri-
can business man flies after the car,
struggling with his coat sleeves as he
runs, plunges in head-foremost, and
plunges out at the other end without re-
gard TO his neck Chief among our ac-
cidents stand those which occur because
people jump upon flying trains or after
departing boats. To wait ten minutes is
something not to be thought of. Dinner
is not eaten, it is swallowed whole and
when one comes TO the dessert he finds
that the fruit was picked before it was
ripe. Everything is hurried through
from the building of house to the
curing of ham. The women who work
on sewing machines stop before they
come to the end of the seam. The
dressmaker sends home your dress with
basting threads in it, and no loops to
hang it up by. There is none of the
slow, sure completeness of the old world
about anything, and even fortunes are
generally made in hurry, and lost III
the same way. If any man we know is
getting rich by the slow and patient pro-
cess of saving, be sure that he was not
born upon this continent. Yet people
live as long here as they do anywhere
else, and the days are the same length.
Why is it that we have no time for any
thing.-NeaO York Lcdger.

The Story of Thousand.Dollar Bill.

The death of Josiah Cobb recalls Il
singular incident Of his life. About the
year 1929 colored woman named Sarah
Ridgely called at Mr.. Cobb's grocery
store aud purchased small amount of
groceries, giving him thousand-dollar
bank note i'll payment, thinking that it
was one-dollar note. Surprising that
it was stolen, he detained the bill, and
advertised for an owner repeatedly, out
he one claiming it he invested it in city
stock. Several false claimants appeared
for the note, and it was the subject of
several lawsuits, which terminated in
Mr.. Cobb remaining custodian of the
fund. The history of one of these claim
ants was rs follows Mr. Cobb one day
was conversing about the money with
man who made SO many particular in
quiries that Mr.. Cobb mistrusted his
motive, and told him that the woman
was dark and had large wen on the
side of her neck, when III fact she was Il
mulatto and had no such wen. Shortly
after very dark woman with a very
large wen on her neck appeared from
the Baltimore Aims House and claimed
that she was Sarah Ridgely, but the
fraud was easily exposed, and up to this
time the woman who left the bill has not
been heard from. Mr. Cobb allowed the
money to remain with accumulated in
terest until 1856, when it amounted to
SO, 40, and he then presented it to the
Union Orphan Asylum. Ga
