When a rattlesnake is disturbed it sounds
an alarm, and then, if compelled, it will
fight, When the victim is within reach.
the jaws of the snake are separated and
the head thrown back so as to bring the
fangs into Il favorable position to penetrate
the object. The head is then darted rapid
ly forward, the unsheated toothpenetlates
the body of the victim, and the poison Is
injected into the flesh. The same muscll-
lar acts which open the wound inject the
Venom throught the duct, and into the
part penetrated by the tooth. The diver
gence Of the iang-points when the snake
bites often causes a considerable distanc,
between the two wounds. The power
with which the venom is elected from tbs
tooth depends somewhat upon the amour
contained in the gland and its ducts. i.
the snake fails to strike the object aimee
at, the poison is sometimes projected sew
eral feet; and case Is on record where it
was thrown into the eye of man who
was six feet from the snake, when it
struck upward at q stick held above its
coil,

Sound sleep.

1t is wonderful how much may be done
to protract existence by the habitual re-
storative of sound sleep. Late hours
under strain are, of course, incompatible
with this solacement. On this topic Dr.
Richardson says it has been painful for
him to trace the beginnings of pulmonary
consumption to late hours at ''unearthly
balls and evening parties," by which rest
is broken and encroachments made on the
constitution. But, he adds, If in middle
age the habit OF taking deficient and irreg-
ular sleep be maintained, every source OF
depression, every latent form of disease,
is quickencd and intensified. The sleep
less exhaustion allies itself with all other
processes of exhaustion, or it kills inper-
ceptibly, by rapid introduction of pre-
mature dissolution" There, at once, is an
explanation why many people die earlier
than they ought to. They violate the pri-
mary principle of taking a regular nights
rest. 1t they sleep, it is disturbed. They
dream all sorts OF nonsense. That is to
say, they do not sleep soundly, OF for any
useful purpose; for dreaming is nothing
more than wild, imaginative notions pass
ing through the brain while half sleeping
or doing. In dreaming there is no proper
or restorative rest.

Severe Rclsrinnand.

CHIEF Justice Marshall was In the habit
OF going to market himself, and carrying

be seen at sunrise with poultry in one
hand and vegetables in the other. On one
OF these occasions, fashionable young
man, who had removed to Richmond, was
swearing Violently because he cOu,l find
no one to carry home his turkey. Mar
shall stepped up and asked where he lived.
Being told, be said, '.That is my way, and

When they came to the house, the young
man inquired: What shall pay your

''you are welcome. 1t is my way, and no
trouble"
WHO is that old man who brought
home my turkeyE'' inquired the young
man of "A bystander.
''That," replied he, ''is Mr.. Marshall,
Chief Justice of the United States"
''Why did he brig home my turkey ~
he asked.

Not COntented.

There is Il class of farmers who aro con-
stantly on the lookout for better place to
go to. Their farms are always ''for sale"
and they dream of luxuriant lands in some
other part of the country which can be
bought ''for a song" where they imagine
they would be more prosperous, and enjoy
life better than where they now reside.
Many of these men own mortgaged farms;
and for such men to desire to remove when
they can own a free farm, though it be far,
far away, is but a natural manifestation to
better ones condition, which the human
mind cannot resist. But where can these
men go, after selling their farms, and be
contented? This is a serious question.
which no man cap answer Of bis own
knowledge.

The Death Penalty In Maine
(BangOrCommercial.]

The Attorney General in his annual re-
port does not express any opinion as to the
effect of the abolition Of the death penalty
for murder. Two years time is hardly
enough to test it. In that time there has
been only one conviction-that Of Smith,
at Observation-Disclosures the prisoner would
have been sentenced to death under the
former law. Mr.. Emery says: ''While I
doubt if much can be fairly argued either
way from statistics Of crime, should say
the statistics in this State We're. if anything,
favorable to the abolition of the death pen
atty. The experience of another year may
reverse it. hardly think the presence or
absence of the death penalty has any direct
influence on the number of murders. 1t is
impossible thus far to know what the ef-
feet has been in the State"

When we began the newspaper business
we had not much faith in advertising. We
distinctly remember how we timidly per-
suaded a man who had thirty swarms of
bees to sell to put in an ad. We felt that
we were doing wrong in thus misleading
him, and when he came in three weeks la
er and ordered the al. dropped, we felt
quite relieved. Our astonishment can be
guessed when he said:
'.Well, l sold the last swarm yesterday,
and have demand for more.'
We soon inveigled others into putting
ads. .l.::a our paper, and never failed to
give satisfaction. We had last spring a
number of articles to sell, and by alvertis-
ing we disposed of every one at our own
price. The fact OF the matter is, if you
want to buy or sell and do it at once you
must Advertise.-MeGrcgor Ns,rs.
A young poet out West not long ago
said to his sweetheart, among other things,
through poem in country paper: IL
kissed thee under the silent stars - at
least, that was what he intended to say
but when she had refused to speak to him
for six weeks, or to let him come within
speaking distance of her, and he came to
look over his poem with some care for the
first time. he found that the printer had
made him say: Il kicked thee under the
cellar stairs" and then he knew why ''she
never smiled again.
