AMERICAN NEGLECT OF MUTToN.-A leading
butcher In suburban city informs me that he
sold but one sheep during the entire summer
In fact, he only sold q portion OF that After
keeping IL In his ice box more than month he
took it home and ate 1t in his own family Not
Withstanding the length OF time he had It on
hand, u was sweet and good, proving that NUT
ton will keep as well as, II not better than any
other meat. During this time he sold thou
sands pounds OF beef which had been brought
on the cars hundreds Of miles, In the autumn he
sold hundreds Of pounds OF pork. To us there
seems to be want OF wisdom In all this. His
patrons refused TO eat the cleanest, healthiest
and most easily dlgeSted meat In the world, and
without thought apparently or consideration fol
lowed fashion, or habit and ate beef more or less
feyerish and unhealthy not knowing or caring
where 1t cafhe from, and pork which might
have been reared In filth, and might be reekfng
With disease. The farmers would be glad to
furnish mutton In abundance, IL there was only
a demand. II seems to be universal practice
with Americans to dislike mutton or, at least,
to eat scarcely any meat except beef and pork
They will pay twice as much for beef as NUT
ton can be bought for. Chops always sell high,
because every one wants them and nobody
wants the rest OF the carcass. Butchers say
that they must sell one third of the sheep Tor
enough to pay for the whole, as all the rest mas
10 be sold below cost. Americans seem 10 oe
totally unused TO mutton In any form as corneu
or sailed meat. There is no better meat tnal
cofned mutton. 1t Is excellent Tor soups anu
stews. or TO boil. The hams may De corneo ana
then boiled and eaten cold Ior any ineaL-

county, on account OF the opposition OF her

time remained In her fathers house. She was
observed to be In state OF great excitement,
and the repeated efforts OF her husband and
friends failed TO calm her. The reason OF her
trepidation was apparent to all when Mr..
Matthias Reade, her only brother rushed into
the room with heavily loaded bright new re-
volver, and made for Mr.. Stophell as IL that
gentleman were doomed 10 instant destruction.
Mrs. Stophell quickly placed herself between

and SON OF the landlord. The exciting scene
proved too much for the unhappy young bride.
She gave way and has since been In critical
state, ana her recovery is very doubtful.

The Cobra and it's Deadly Poison.
ave have Ia India" said gentleman, much
OF whose early life was passed In Hlndostan,
''snakes more yenomous than are 10 be found In
tie eStern hemisphere, or even In Africa The
most deadly serpent In this country is, SUD-
pose, the rattlesnake, but hundreds OF persons
have been bitten by IL and have recovered. For
the bite OF cobra In full vigor, however, there
Is no known cure. Immediately after the rainy
season the cobra is la his worst form. He lies
dormant while torrents OF rain, that seem like
the renewal OF the flood, are deluging the earth,
rarely coming out or the deep hole In which he
nndS shelter, and all the time the poison is
accumulating, until the bag at the root OF the
hollow fang Is filled TO bursting. The cobra h.
but one poisonous fang, and when he is undis-
tuIbed, and not angry, this lies nat on the
jaw. But the moment an enemy appears,
the aspect OF the cobra changes. He assumes
an almost perpendicular position, which is the
only one from which he can strike. His tau Il
thrown into the form of ring, and on this he
stands erect. His head is bent forward and he
makes figure like that of an old-fashioned
walking stick with q crook for a handle. A
neshy hood arises along the back OF the neck
and expands into fan-like shape behind the
head, while around his flashing little eyes ap-
pear bright yellow rings, looking Ike specta-
cles Seen thus. his tongue darling out and I'm,
ne Is about as repugnant creature as exists.
When In position for striking he can spring
probably about ten feet. but he is easily killed.
He never runs away, aud though he Will not
move toward an enemy 10 get within springing
distance, IL the Intruder approaches him he does
not retreat, and it is only necessary to stand
about twenty feet away and hurl stick at him.
slight blow VIII break his back, and he Is then
powerleSs.
Probably the greatest exper1menter upon
snakes that ever lived was DR.. Fayrer, OF Cal
cutta. He was particularly interested In the
discovery Of cure for the bite OF the cobra for
the number OF lives lost by this cause every year
in India is incredible. After years OF careful
study, and after he had exhausted recipes sent
to him from all parts OF the world, he declared
that there was no known remedy for the bite.
and that a man impregnated with the poison OF
a vigorous cobra must die. In the course or his
the poison or one cobra would not kill another
A large cobra would destroy smaller one but
only by decorating IL with its teeth, not by
