A live rattlesnake ornamented q West Side
saloon Monday. He wasn't Gagged, either,
but free as air. He roamed about the room
whittier he listed. He was fair to look upon,
and vivacious as Trocadoro maiden. But
his presence was voted bore. He wasn't
appreciated.
How did he get there? Thereby hangs a
tale.
A messenger came to Paulmier's saloon,
NO. 53J SlxIn avenue, Ill the afternoon, with
a rattlesnake in cage. He said it was sent
from Pike county, Penn, from l.. Duncan
q friend of Paulmier. 1t was intended as
gift for the Aquarium across the way.
Now the recipient of this delicate atten-
ton was overwhelmed with the confidence
reposed in him. The box was swathed in
flannel, so he mustered courage to accept the
charge.
At midnight Paulmier locked up. He first

gait of the grotesque little woman is pathetic
rather than funny. 1t is impossible for me

She wears kind of dress with demi-skit

NIOIIla In CarpeIa.

Experienced housekeeprs say that if moths
have not secured permanent lodgment in a
house, it is quite safe to leave carpets on the
floors for two and even three years, without
lifting But, unless sure that the house is
perfectly free from moths, the only safe way
is to take up the carpets once or twice a
year The carpet-moth makes his favorte
home among the bindings and corners of the
carpet If this is an ingram or three-ply fab
ric, successful war may be waged on him by
wringing a cloth out of hot water, laying it
over the bindings and edges, and ironing with
as hot an iron rs can be used without scorch-
ing. This will destroy both the moths and
their eggs, and after a few such visitations
they disappear But this steOming and iron
ing process is not etfectual with WiltOns,
Moquettes, or any heavy carpetings. The
heat cannot thoroughly penetrate them, and
ironing Injuries the pile of the velvet Still,
it is best to draw the tacks occasionally,
and lay the edge of the carpet over, one side
only, or part of a side, and steam and iron
it, ON the ,nrOng side. Then, besides this,
the floor should be wiped ms far underneath
as the arm will reach with a cloth wrung out
of strong and hot Cayenne tea, and before re-
mailing, the binding and edge of the carpet
should also be wiped with it, rubbing them
hard. 1t is said that if salt is sprinkled on
the floor while il is damp, moths will not go
near that spot again. Some good housekeep-
ers sprinkle salt all around the sides and cor

Bursting from earth In air Of early spring,
found lily growing sweet and Wild
And plucked the blossom, snowy fair, to bring
As type Of resurrection, to my child,
with Il TO show
How out OF death divinest life might grow.
I told her then what Easter meant, and why
There seemed such gladness In the world to reign Z;
Why clear.yoiced choirs sang 20 eIultantly
The joyful anthem, "Christ is risen apain!n
That, dying, He
Had taken from the grave its victory
"Because He died and rose again. ! said,
"The dark and shadowy valley none need fear;
The little brother that to you seemed dead
Was only on Christs bosom heavenly near;
There is no tomb
Can prison or hide the souls immortal bloom"
o impotence Of words who can explain
This wondrous mystery7 And yet, perchancs,
Through one white lily on Code altar lain
My child may grasp the flowers significance,
Ana, kneeling, say,
"a little child doth yield her heart today
Wide irdLr.
