HE LARGEST SNAKE IN AMERICA
We were yesterday informed by Mr..
Smith, living on Quapaw bayou, that while
he and his son William aged about 10 years
were out in the woods on Monday after
noon last, driving up their cattle. their at
tention was attracted by the bleating of a
calf some distance from them. Thinking
probably that the poor animal had begged,
they started to its assistance: They had
gone short distance down the bayou when
they discovered a yearling about two years
old, i'll the coils of a huge snake. After
discharging about dozen Yolleys each, Mr.,
Smith and his son succeeded in dispatch=
ing one OF the largest snakes ever seen in
Louisiana, and, probably. North America.
1t measured thirty-one feet in length, and
the body measured, ten feet from the head,
thirty inches in circumference, and about
the centre of the body forty-two inches.
It has regular succession Of spots, black
and yellow, alternating, extending from
its head to it's tail, while either side is a
deep purple. Mr.. Smith has no idea what
kind of snake it is, but thinks it must be
of the boa constructor species. No dophs
this snake has for many yea.s inhabited
that seetiippnl| of country and deprecated
upon the young CALVES and animals that
came with in his reach. The skin of this
huge snake has been preserved, and will

ANOTH Err PRAYER Naturalization
two years Miss Minnie Walters, Of Harris
burg, has scarcely left her bed owing to a
diseased spine, and eminent surgeons have
applied heated irons and told her that no.
thing more could be done. One day she
prayed that the Lord would raise her up
and heal her. Suddenly she felt herself
growing stronger and almost instantly she
was restored to health and enabled to
atsend aprayer-meeting. Last Sunday she
related the miraculous cure to Methodist

NOVEMBER.
BY C. L. CLELAND.

BY C. L. CLELAND.
When thistle-blows do lightly float a
About the pasture-height,
And shrills the hawk parting note,
And creeps the frost at night,
Then billy no! though singing SO,
And whistle as may,
There comes again the old heart pain
Through all the live-long day.
In high wind creaks the leafless tree
And mods the fading fern;
The hills are dun as snow clouds be,
And cold the sun does burn.
Then ho, hollo! though calling so,
can not keep it down;
The tears arise under my eyes,
And thoughts are chill and brown.
For in the cedarS' dusky stoles,
Where the sere ground-vine weaves,
The partridge drums funereal rolls
Above the fallen leaves.
And hip, hip, no! though cheering so,
1t stills no whit the pain;
For drip, drip, drip, from bare branch-tip,
hear the years last rain.
So drive the cold COWS from the hill,
And call the wet sheep in;
And let their stamping clatter fill
The barn with warming din,
And no, folk, no! though it is so
That we no more may roam,
We still may find cheerful mind
Around the fire at home!

Extraordinary Developments of the Sense Of
Smell.

SulGll
DR.. Maudsley, in his physiology of
Mind" speaking of the loss of one sense
being followed by a notable increase in the
functions of those which remain, in conse-
quence of the greater attention to them,
cites the following instances related by
DR.. Howe Of the Massachusetts, Asylum
for the Blind: Julia Brace, a deaf and
blind mute, a pupil Of the American Asy-
lum, had a fine physical organization and
highly nervous temperament. In her blind
ness and stiffness her main occupation was
the exercise OF her remaining senses Of
smell, touch and taste, so that through
them she might get knowledge of all that
was going on around her. Smell, however
seemed to be the sense on which she most
relied. She smelled at everything which
she could bring within range Of sense; and
she came to perceive odors utterly insensi-
BILE to other persons.
When she met a person she Instantly
recognized him by the smell Of his hand or
glove. If it we're stranger she smelled
his hand, and the impression was SO strong
that she could recognize him long after by
again smelling his hand, or even his glove,
if just taken off. She knew all her &C
quaintances by the oder Of their hands.
She was employed in sorting the clothes of
the pupils after they came from the wash,
and could distinguish those Of each friend.
If hall a dozen strangers should throw
each one his glove into a hat, and they
were shaken up, she would take one glove,
smell it, then smell the hand of each per
son, and unerringly assign each glove to
its owner. 1t among the visitors there
were a brother and sister, she could pick
out the gloves by similarity of smell, but
could not distinguish one from the other.
This case furnished strong argument in
support of the conjecture that a dog re-
moved to distant place finds its way home
by following backward train Of smells
which he has experienced.

TURPENTlNE FOR WoUNDs.-For all
ordinary burns spirits of turpentine will be
found to give a great relief from pain.
Turpentine is also an excellent application
In many cases Of punctured wounds. 1t
relieves the pain at once, promotes a rapid
healing, and tends to prevent the sad con-
sequences which often follow-of lockjaw.
We have known of very ugly wounds, made
with pitchfork in hand, being filled up
immediately with turpentine greatly to the
comfort of the patient. People have an
idea that it must irritate and sting, which
is not the fact.

To PRESERVE AUTUAN LEAvEs.-
Press carefully, changing the papers every
day : if this is not done, the moisture alb

can be procured at druggists; five cents
worth will be sufficient. 1t gives a deli
