Snake Stories.

MT. Kirtland cut open a hollow log to catch a rabbit the other day, and on drawing the rabbit out he also drew out an immense rattle snake that had partly swallowed the ohimal. He struck the snake upon the head when sixteen fu- rious young rattlesnake ran out of tue pouch under the body of the mother snake. The little snakes were very bellicOse, but were all killed. There were seventeen rat,les on tie old snake. and it measured about five feet ill length. -I ISandersville, (Ga.) Herald.
 Mir. Alfred Johnson, five miles below Hamilton, has discovered d den of horned snakes on his plan tation. He has killed two of them and seen several others. They are of a white and black speckled color. The horn is in the tip of the tail, and is stuck into every. thing that comes within reach. Mir. Johnson informs Us that he cut one in two parts, about a foot from the end of the tail, and it still used the horn, turning it in any direction 10 stick it into any thing that touchedit This settles the question that there is such a thing as horned snake.-[ Ham, ilten Ga. Journal.
 A gigantic blue racer, twenty feet eightand three. fourths inches in length and ten in circumference in the largest place, was killed in the south western part of the town ship of.CannOn bya citizen of good repute. He had terrible encOun- ter with it. On going from his workshop to ghboring spring to get a drink of water he saw the grass wave a few rods from him, when To! the blue devil came to- ward him with lightning velocity and head lifted three or four feet from the ground. When about ten feet from the man it halted as if to look its prey over. He ven- iured nearer and nearer, and fi- naliy attacked the man. The snake tWined itself several times around the mans legs and felled him to the ground. The man took his knife out of his pocket and, with few desnerate strokes, com pletely severed the monsters head from its body. It had previously been hurt or it probably would have crushed the man, there be- ing large bunch on it's side. Since then the mans hair has turned gray. - Grand Rapids (Mich. ) Eagle.

Alligator Skins.

New York handless about five thousand alligator skins per an- mum. The bushes is entirely in the hands of a single firm, who employ men to pursue the reptile in the bayous of the Mississippi River. and the work is usually done at night by the aid of lanterns the rifles used being aimed straight at the creature's eye. If the alliga- tors are too old or too young, the ammunition used on them is thrown away, for in such cases the skin is either too horny or too small. A good size is eight or nine feet, counting nothing be- yOnd the thick part of the tail. Florida is a great place for alliga- tors, but skins from that direction are badly mangled, tEesicating strong objections by~af animal against parting with his natural integument.

The Use of Ammonia.

We'quote the following from a competent authority: Put a tea spoonful of ammonia in a quart of warm soapsuds, diAa cloth in it, and see now rapidly the dirt will disappear; no scruboing will be necessary. To a pint of hot studs add a teaspoonful of the spirits, dip in your forks Cor whatever you have to clean, rub with a soft brush, and then finish with a chamois skin. For washing mir TOTS and windows it has no equal. It will remove grease spots from every fabric without injuring the garment. Put on the ammonia nearly clear; lay plotting paper, and set a hot iron on it for a mo- ment. Also a few drops in water willcIeanse and whiten faces and muslins beautifully. A few drops in a bowl of water, if the skin is fOlly, will remove all uneasiness and disagreeable Odors. Added to a.hot bath, it entirely absorbs all noxiouS smells, and nothing is bet ter to remove dandruff from the hair. For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is equally good. For heartburn and dyspepsia, the aro- matic spirits of ammonia is espe- cially prepared; ten drops, taken in wine glass of water, will give relief. For house plants, five or six drops in every pint of water once a week will make them flourish. It is also good to clean plant jars. So be sure and keep a bottle in the house, and have a glass stopper, as it eats away corks.
 It is also an antidote to animal poisons and an application of it will releive the pain of or cure the bites and stings of venOmous reptiles and insects.
