A Little Girls Fight With q Snake.

A fourteen-year-old servant girl in the
employ of Jerome Brockway, who has
been spending few days in the wilds Of
Pike county, Penn, had narrow escape
from being strangled to death by black
snake. She was sent by her mistress out
into the woods to pick whortleberries.
She crossed the lake in small row boat,
and, accompanied by small Newfound-
land dog, walked about three-fourths of
a mile into the woods, where the berries
were plenty. After filling her basket.
she sat down on a. log and ate her lunch.
As she was about to start for home, a
large black snake sprang about her neck
and began choking her. The affrighted
girl screamed at the top of her voice for
assistance, but there was no one near
enough to hear hear her cries. At length
when she was SO exhausted that she was
unable to cry out, the snake twisted its
head around so that the girl could reach
it. At first she was afraid to touch the
monster. Then realizing that she must
do something or perish, she caught the
snake by the neck, and choked it until it
relaxed its hold and fell to the ground.
The girl then threw it against rock and
succeeded in killing it. She tied small
hickory withe around the snakes neck,
and dragged it home. 1t measured six
feet eleven inches.-N Y Sun.

The Honor of the Patron.

Patrons faith is no doubt frequently
abused. Men put fat in others because
they are members of the order, and as a
fruit of their trust they ere often de-
ceived. The obligations Of the order, as
all who have taken them well know, can
only be violated at the expense of honor
as well IS Of general integrity. What is
called honor in ordinary society demands
civility and respect, as we'll IS a strict
regard for truth. No one can be an
honorable man who violates or trifles
with his own words or his own promises.
They are his notes in the bank Of honor,
and if be suffers them to go to protest,
his honor is gone. and he goes into moral
bankruptcy. This is the result even in
general business society, as we'll as in
the common walks of life; but much
more than all this is required in the Pat.
ROE relationship. for there they take
upon themselves voluntary obligations
of integrity which they cannot violate
without becoming guilty of moral PERU
~. Patrons owe to each other who are
in good standing in the Order, respect
and decent treatment, and in I'll their
dealings they are pledged by these obi
gatious to treat each other, or any other
person. With strict regard to Justice

st. Nicholas for September.

The September number of 81. Nicholas
contains variety of very pleasant and
interesting contributions, along with the
usual fine array of pictures. On one of
the first pages is Rachel Pomeroy's CHEEKY
little poem of "Three Times One" and
there are other dainty compositions in
rhyme-two of them beautifully illus
trated by Miss Jessie Curtis. Of de-
scriptive articles, the number has a full
installment, bringing together for us in
one article a collection of birds whose
plumage is entirely white, giving us in
an other an account of ''Some Queer
Dishes" which are served in Oriental
countries; and in still third, as COM
panion sketch, description and picture
of peculiar Mesopotamian boat or
"Gooffah," which will open the childrens
eyes in wonder. In the same line, too,
are Mrs. Treats glimpse through the mi
croscope at the "Cyclops," and Mr.. Ride
ing's account of "a London Child's Hol.
iday," spent in steamboat trip up the
Thames and into the suburbs of the great
city.
There is also full budget of Stories
among the rest, delicate, fanciful one
by Emma Burt. entitled "a Squirrels
Stratagem," and thrilling narrative of
a brave woman's unaided contest with
bear, which is vouched for as true.
There is also a suggestive story of rail-
way journey, charming biography of
very "Short-Lived Family" and an
amusing colloquy between dog and
deer, resulting to the disadvantage of
poor "Bocko," and we'll illustrated by the
frontispiece.
The serial stories grow in interest and
excitement as they approach their con-
illusions, and Mr.. Trowbridge gives us a
vivid description of tornado on the
Western prairies, which is also gsaphi-
cally pictured in an illustration by w.
L. Sheppard.
Finally, "Jack-in-the-Pulpit," the
"Lctter-Box," and "Riddle-Box," close
the number, as usual, with their eight or
ten pages of information and amusement.

Lulu's Pedigree.
ALFRED GRAY, Secretary.

Since the extraordinary performance
of the mare Lulu at Rochester, by which
she fairly won herself an equality with
the fastest animal on the turf, there il
naturally general interest in her histo
ry and pedigree. The Rock Island Argu'
of the 10Th inst, has an account of a visit
to Lulu's breeder, Col. w. c. Crockett
at his stock farm, Longview, near Rock
Island. The following are some extracts
Lulu was ten years old last spring.
She was foaled in the spring of 1865, at
Colonel Crocketts place in Scott county
Kentucky; and when he removed to
Rock Island he brought the little three
year old colt along. Her sire was 4. A.
Alexander's noted horse, Norman, the
sire of the celebrated horse Blackwood,
and she breeds back through long line
of choice thoroughbreds on both sides.
Her dam was Kate Crockett, she by i'm
ported Hooton, Hooton by Despot. The
first dam of HootOn was Catten mare ;
second dam by Melrose, by Pilgarlic /;
third dam by Whisker; fourth dam by
Orville. Despot was by Sultan; first
dam, Fanny Davis by Fillio da Puta !;
second dam, Treasurer by Camilus. Sui
tan (the sire of Bay Middleton) was the
sire of Flying Dutchman, winner of the
derby in 1919. Kate Crocketts first dam
was Old Mary by Texas; second dam.
Fanny Elsler by Cons William; third
dam, Whipster by Old Whip; Colonel
Crockett sold her to Joseph Harker, Esq,
of the Everett House Stables, No. 81 Z.
Thirty-second street, New York City, for
1000, in 1871. Mr.. Harker is her pres
ent owner. and Colonel Crockett con-
graduates him upon the fame she has
won says he is not bit surprised at the
time, for he considered her fastest in the
world, and worth 100000. He is aware
that her best public record is 2:15, and
that the Maids record is 2:14, says it
must be remembered that when the Maid
won that record she passed the score at
the start under her fastest gait, and she
came under the wire in the same way.
an advantage which turfmen will readily
perceive.

Ocean Transportation Of Live Stock.

All importers of live stock know the
perils of the ocean shipment. but it is
also known that these perils are largely
owing to the careless attendance and even
cruelty on the passage. The Live Cat,
tie Importation Company is making an
effort to overcome those difficulties. Mr..
James Martin, the secretary Of this com.
pany, gives an account of some improve
ments devised to enable them safely to
transport cattle and horses from Texas
to England. They propose rows of
slings, which will hold the animal in an
upright position and still prevent bruis-
ing the animal against the sides of the
vessel or partition. Arrangements for
water and food are SO much improved
that the animals will be kept thriving
on the passage. These sings are SO ad-
justed that by turning crank. the
whole range can be let down at once and
each animal recline at ease. They ex-
pect the risks to be greatly lessened by
their improved method, and that fat
cattle may be delivered in England in
about the same condition as when taken
aboard. The perfection of some mode
of transportation for live stock will, no
doubt, be accomplished, and then those
countries that cannot grow the flesh nee
essary for the consumption Of the pop
uiation may be supplied as readily as
New York City by the West. Water
carriage is not expensive, and we expect
to see bullocks delivered at Liverpool or
London from our great cattle producing
West, IS cheaply as they are now deliv-
cred st New York. We shall supply
beef for many couptries.-Bu6alo Lire

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.
Bottom and Upland-There seems to
be some difficulty, in many counties, in
determining where the bottom stops and
the upland commences, SO gradual are
the slopes. For the present purposes we
will define bottom land, all Glands be-
tween the hills along the water-courses,"
or from the streames up the hill-sides to
the cropping out of limestone formations
which are characteristic in most parts of
the State.
Storage-Some suitable store-room,
free from dampness, dust and mice,
should be obtained, where specimens for
the Centennial can be deposited from
time to time, and where the labelling,
packing and boxing can be conducted.
Do not permit the heads of cereals to be
handled. Fingers are more destructive
than mice.
Boxing-The boxes should be very
strong, and should completely hide the
samples, so they cannot be handled.
Shipping-Ship by freight in all cases
except where the articles are perishable,
inclosing by mail the shipping receipt to
the State Centennial Board, Topeka.
Labels-Blank labels, to designate the
exact location, name and postoffice ad-
dress of the grower and donor, together
with the name of the specimen, will be
forwardered to each county.
For further information, address the
State Board of Centennial manages,
Topeka.

DR.. Maurin recommends placing in
the open window of invalids canvas well
wetted. As is known, water in passing
from liquid to gaseous state, absorbs
caloric. That chemical process will low
er in few minutes the temperature of
room by five or six degrees, and the
humidity distributed in the air makes
the heat more supportable. By that
system the patient find themselves, even
in the height of summer, in an atmos-
phere refreshed analogous to that which

To make corn vinegar: Steep quart
ofcorn in about five gallons of cold water
for two or three hours, and then put it
on the fire until the corn shows signs of
bursting. Do not let it burst but take
it.off the fire and strain the liquor into
a.cask, and add about two pounds of su-
gar to it. Set the eask in place where
the sun can shine on it, and in three or
four weeks it will be found to contain
five gallons of good vinegar. Less guam

Dear Sir-I will most cheerfully add my testi-
mony to the great number you have already re-
ceived in favor of your great and good medicine,
Vegefine, for l do not think enough can be said
in its praise, for was troubled over thirty years
with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had such
bad coughing spells that it would seem as though
could never breath any more, and Pegefine has
cured me; and do feel to thank God all the time
that there is good q medicine as Vegefine, and
also think it one of the best medicines for coughs
and week sinking feelings at the stomach, and
advise everybody to take the Vegefine, for can
assure them it is one Of the best medicines that
ever was. MRS. L. COKE,
