''GIF DER CHEESE VAR CHANCE"
The man staggered into tidy lunch
house over the Rhine, Topped into a
chair, slapped his feet upon the table,
showed his hat on the back of his head,
and called for beer, bread and Linn
burgher. The proprietor hustled around
and filled the order himself.
The man picked up a bit of the
cheese on a fork and smelled at it de-
risively.
"Take that away" he said, "and
bring me some decent cheese. It's
Limburgher l want-this is no good"
"What's de matter NIT dat cheese,
my friend? Vas id doc strong7 l haff
zoom dot vas vresher,n said the Ger
man, anxious to please.
"Strong! Nav That's what 1 want.

room. Trot it out and be lively. This

rankest you have got. Nv got Dutch

And the man smelled at the cheese
again, and threw it down in disgust.
The proprietor bowed over the table,
and also shifted few times. He then
turned an injured look on the captious
customer, and persuasively said:
"Dot vas not fair, mine frinde; dock

From all parts of the country reports
come of the immense sales and increasing
demand for that ~deservingly popular Sew
ing Machine, The Old and Reliable "STAN-
DARD,'' the price of which, the proprietors
wisely reduced to $40 including all the at
tachments, and at once secured for them a
popularity among the people, far beyond
that ever yet attained by any other ma
chine at any price, the consequence of which
is agents are leaving the old high priced ma
chimes. and seeking territory for the STAN
DARD." Knowing from experience that
with the best goods at the lowest price they
can ontsell all other Machines, where the
superior quality and low price is made
known. This splendid Machine combines
all the improvements. 1t is far ahead OF all
others in beauty and durability Of its work,
ease OF management. light running and GER
tainty of operation, is sensibly made upon
sound principles; with positive working
parts ali steel. and can be safely pitt down as
the very perfection of a Serviceable Sewing
Machine, in every particular, that will out
last any Machine, and at a price far down
below any other. 1t is thoroughly warrants
ed for five years. Kept IN order free of
charge. And sent to any part OF the Conn-

A KANSAS SNAKE STaRY. j. II. Bee,
son, the well-known Central Branch con
tractor, gave the Patriot pleasant call,
and from him we learn the particulars of
one Of the most remarkable snake stories
we have heard. In the extension of the
Central Branch road from Beloit to
Cawker City, the line passes through the
town of Glen Elder. A short distance
from Glen Elder, on the Solomon river
is deep and rocky bluff about fifty-fve
feet high, a large portion of VIII ich had to
be blasted away to make room for the
road bed. A few days ago, while the
excavation was in process, blast of nitro
glycerne caps and giant powder tore off
an unusually large part Of the bluff, and
down the declivity there came wrilhing
and rolling bunch of snakes, which Mr..
Beeson assures us was almost as large rs
Il barrel. They were of different varieties,
rattesnakes predom mating, with racers.
adders, garters, etc. When first disturb
ed from their warm bed they were active
and dangerous, but coming on: into the
severe cold they were soon comparatively
harmless, and were X iled by the men
without much trouble. or covered up in
the dump OF earth and stone.
But this is very small portion Of the
story. Every day and every blast since
this first batch appeared has brought
another huge bundle of reptiles. Every
hour moving, writhing lump comes
rolling down the hill only TO separate at
the foot, and what escape the laborer's S
pick and shovel crawl off to get covered
up in the dump. Thourands Of them
have been unearthed and killed, and every
blast brings thousands more, far rival
ing in number the famous snake den of
Concordia. Not a single case of snake
bite has yet occurred, notwith
standing it Is many times almost imposs
lille to avoid stepping on them. Mr. Bee
son says there are no unusal monsters
among them, the great majority being as
large round as mans wrist and about
three or three and half feet long. He
also says that the farmers for five miles
around tel him that this is the regu ar
Winter den of these venomous creatures,
and that during the Fall the snakes in
that country, when discovered, are head
ed il the direction of the bluffs, and the
only way they can be turned from their
course is to Kill them. | is said to be
one of the most remarkable sights ever
looked upon, and hundreds from the sur
roundidg country visit the quarries to see
the snakes .--AtchiSOn, Kan, Patriot.

THE electric light is said to have par
ticular effect on patients suffering from
catalepsy and other nervous complaints.
Prof. Charcot, Of the Salpetriere, Paris,
after making experiments with the elec
tric light on hysterisal subjects, found that
patient placed before a very bright light
fell into an an@stbetic condition. The
subject of this treatment stands as if fas-
cinated, motionless, and with fixed, star
ing eyes. The limbs are stiff, but not so
rigid chat they cannot be moved, and they
preserve Whatever position may be given
to them. The patients neither see nol
hear. In vain the operator speaks to
them or makes signs ali communication
between them and the outer world seems
to be at an end. Meanwhile the features
take the expression OF the gestures. Give
to the patient a menacing or tragic atti-
tude, and tho eyebrows become knitted /;
close the hands as if in prayer, and the
eyes assume meek and resigned ex-
preston.

FASHIONABLE TARDINEss.-It is now
considered the height of fashionable
flummery in this city to be among the
last arr ivals at a social party given ut II
private residence. Last evening there
was party Of that description on Moth
b street-which didn't come off. A lady
who desired to give IA little entertainment
made the usual preparations and in
vted number of guests. She illumin
ated the parlors and left the blinds open
that the glare oil the gas might light the
weary traveller on the street. This was
her grand mistake. About nine o'clock
young lady, looking in the window and
seeing the parlors empty, insisted on re-
turning home, as she would not for all
the world do such vulgar thing as to
enter house where there was not n big
room full Of people TO look at her. The
two accordingly returned home. In a
few minutes another couple reconnoitered
the stuation from across the street and
retired. One after another the guests
came up, viewed the empty parlors and
melted back into the darkness. There
was no party, and the lady, who prepar-
cd the entertainment didn't know what
to make OF such a shabby treatment.
This idea Of trying to be the last one at
an evening party is growing to be so
common on the Comstock that the time
will come when an invitation to Friday
evenings entertainment will mean,
