Informed of the adverse decision Of the board
of pardons. Mrs. Hester, young woman Of
preposessing appearance, when the decision
was given publicly, fled to the prison, wiring

admitted her and she flung herself upon the
neck of her husband and tainted.
Tully and McIugh when informed Of the
nature of the decision, tunk back into the
darkness Of their cells. After a moments
pause Tully remarked, "What is must be-"
McHugh aroused himself and said, "Well,
they have fixed it up at last. Have they?
wish to God that they had fixed it up
year ago. He paced his cell like a Gagged
tiger in anger and would not listen 10 the
comforting words Of his friends.

Pigs and Rattlesnnkes.

DIR. Robert Brown, in speaking Of the
extirpation of poisonous serpents, says
No locality in the State of Oregon was
more the haunt of the deadly rattle
snake than the valleys of Columbia
rivera locality well known to all
readers of the adventures of the early
fur traders on the Pacific slopes of the
Rocky mountains. Indeed, for some
time after settlers came to that part of
the country, so troublesome were the
snakes that they would even enter the
houses and get under the beds. All
efforts to lessen their numbers proved
futile, until pigs became common in
that part of the country. These pigs
were turned loose in the "oak scrub, !"
to feed on the acorns of the Querous
garTydnd and generally to root about.
From that day the reign of the rattle
snakes was on the wane, and now so few
are they in this locality that, though 1
stayed there for about fortnight, con-
tinuslly roaming about the country on
foot, on botanical excursions, for a
radius of six or seven miles, 1 do not
remember ever seeing one. 1t was not
until 1 got beyond the range of the pigs
that they again began to be common.
Between the pigs and the snakes there
seems to be natural antipathy. The
moment the pig sees a snake it rushes
upon it, granting loudly, and before the
serpent can strike it plants its foot on
the snakes head, crushing it, and then
devours it.
A snake makes off Immediately on the
approach of a pig and so well do the
Indians know of this antipathy, that ]
have often seen the women come to the
settlers begging a piece of fresh pig
skin to wrap round their ankles when
gathering berries in the bush, as a pre-.
ventive against being bitten by rattle
snakes. This was in Southern Oregon,
in Rogue river valley; but the same
belief (for which I doubt not there ex.
lists some good foundation in experience,
is very widely spread. The pig, it is
said, is proof against the poison of the
rattlesnake. This 1 cannot certify as
true, as never had an opportunity o.
putting the assertion to the test. L
may be, however, that the thick layer
of fat in the pig prevents the watery
poison from reaching the more vita
parts, and SO entering the larger blood
vessels,

Winter Clothing for Children.

Every one must remark that favora-
BILE article of winter clothing for children
is comforter swathed around the neck.
This is great error; the feet and wrists
are the proper members to keep warm /;
the face and throat will harden into a
healthy indifference to cold; but that
muffier, exchanged for an extra pair of
thick socks and knitted gloves, would
preserve boy or girl really warm and
we'll. Bronchitis and sore throat have
declined fifty per cent. since the absurd
use of high collars and twice.round
neckerchiefs went out of fashion; and
if the poor would take better care of
their children's feet half the infantile
mortality would disappear. 1t only
costs trifie to put piece of thick felt
or cork into the bottom of boot or shoe,
but the difference is often considerable
between that and doctors bill, with

The Primary Cou-e of distant Symptom.

The Primary Cau-e OF n distant symptom.
Nervousness is rarely disease in itself
inherent, but is the hneal offspring of dyspep-
STA, in majority of cases. The nervous dis
tur bance is at first trifing. but ultimately its
parent so uudeI mlnes the general health as to
produce consequences very threatening to that
great nervous center the brain. Hostetter s
ST. mach Bitters is the most powerful medicinal
opponent Of the ravages of indigestion and
protects the nervous system from them. The
tremors. the unnatural anxiety, the headaches,
the sleeplessness and loss of appetite which
charscterzes digestive irregularity and weak
ness, and which are almost invariably accom-
panied by an uncertain condition of the bowels
and inactivity Of the liver, are all eradicated by
this matchless corrective and when nervous
ness does notlproceed from the oausedesignated
it affords most grateful relief.
