a Nan who Chsfni.d SNAKES

A map having . small box set II
down in tho street at Reading Pa. and
removed the wooden lid. 1t was about
the size Of raisin box. The top
Of the latter was also coverad with
glass. The snake obarmer was tall and
wore short beard and moustache. He
wore q slouch hat and had on white
gloves. A boy accompanied him. A
crowd gathered. He removed the glass
and took from the box four snakes.

about two feet long. The others con-
sisted Of = copperhead, black snake ,and
blowing viper. The black snake was
about four feet long, the two others
somewhat smaller. Tho man took all
Of them in his hands and they crawled
up his face, and they put their heads
against his cheeks, mouth, and nose.
One of the snakes made an ominous
noise with his rattles. "I've heard
people tell me-" continued the man,
"that they could make fortune IL
they possessed the power did. My
desire Is not to mako money, but sim
ply support my family. Ny boy will
take up collection, after which will
show you sight that you never saw
before" A liberal supply Of pennies
was showered upon him, and he put
three Of the snakes back into the box
again, and held up the rattlesnake 80
that all could sec 1t. ''Ilow am going
to show you this snakes fangs," said
the man. lie rubbed the head Of the
snake against his cheeks and mouth.
He then thrust his fingers into the
snakes mouth, and ex hitjtcd to the
eager gaze Of the crowd u nu mbcr Of
ugly looking fangs. "Thcy're most
deadly. gentlemen, and bite from one
of those will lay any man low,' ex-
planned the man. lie put the rattle
snake back with tle remainder, closed
his box, slung it across his shoulder,
and moved half square further down,

Ono Experience from Many

II had been sick and miserable SO
long and had caused my husband SO
much trouble and expense, no one
seemed to know what allied me, that l
was completely disheartened and dis
couraged. In this frame 0t mind got
u bottle of Hop Bltters and used them
unknown to my family. l soon began
TO improve and gained SO fast that my
husband and family thought it strange
and unnatural, but when [ told them
what had helped me, they said "Hur-
rah for Hop Bitters long may they
prosper, tor they have made mother

Glass or Celluloid Tvpes.--The useful
ness of toughened glass, bids fair to be
greater than was first supposed. Some
experiments are reported to have been
made In France with q view to showing
whether this substance can be pressed
into the printers service and substitu-
ted for the metal composition Of which
types are made. The latter does not at
first sight strike the observer as the
best that could be found. 1t is bright
enough when the letters first come from
the foundry, and before they have seen
any service; but few days. wear gives
the type very dingy appearance, and
before they are finrlly returned t, the
melting pot they have degenerated into
q very squalid form, looking dirty IN
their body as we'll as battered In their
faces. The Idea is now to discard these
long-proved but nnattractive servants
and NIL their places with glittering
types Of glass. The advanta ges in noint
Of cleanliness alone would it is alleged,
| be not insignificant. The toughened
| glass, which is not to be made In a mite
the same way as that used for tum blers
and wine-glasses, and need not. of
course, be quite 80 transparent, is natu-
rally much harder than the old metal
and can hardly be crushed out of shape
by those little accidents which 50 short.
en- the life and spoil the beauty of the
only type we now employ. 1t is also
capable of being cast into more delicate
shapes, SC that the difference, for in
stance, between the thin and the thick
strokes can be more clearly defined. Ii
is now found that the new material can
be cast In exactly the same molds as
the old, and that, therefore, there need
be no expense incurred in altering the
manufacture of type. We learn from
reliable source that great success at
tended recent experiments made with
celluloid In the manufacture Of type.
1t is not improbable that one or the
other OF these articles may at some fu-
ture time take the place OF the old
metal types which have so long been in

HARDNESS OF WATER.-A ample
method OF determining the temporary
hardness OF water has been lately de-
scribed by Herr Warthon to the Berlin
Chemical Society. A tube about 80 to
40ctm. long is used and near It's round
ed end is g. mark denoting 10 cub. ctm.
From this mark to the mouth. the tube
Is divided into 0. !. cub. ctm. Water
Is put in up to the lowest mark, and
with 1t small piece Of tiltering paper
which has been saturated with log
wood extract and dried this makes the
water violet. Then normal murlatie
acid Is added from drop flask, till the
color OF the liquid approaches orange.
The thumb Is then placed on the mouth
of the tube, and the latter is shaken,
whereby most Of the carbonic acid Is
liberated, and the liquid becomes red
again. (rhe removal Of the carbonio
acid may be promoted by blowing into
the tube after each shaking). More
acid Is added, and the action repeated,
with weaker effect, and at length the
color Of the liquid changed to bright
citron yellow. The amount of aoid
used is then read of on tho tube. With
these simple materials the alkalinlty of
series Of springs or wells may be ex-
amined during a walk.

THE DISASTROUS RESULTS OF A DEM
0CRATIC SUCCESS

The TRIBUNE in recent article pointed
out some Of the injurious results that will
ensue in case of the election of Hancock and
Democratic House of Representatives,
growing largely out of their absence from
office during the past twenty years, and their
consequent rapacity. It showed that an ex-
ira session Of Congress will be Indispensable,
and that the first measure to come before It
will be the division of Texas into five new
States, and the admission of New Mexico and
Utah, thus reinforcing the Confederates with
twelve new Senators, and throwing the SEN
ate into the hands Of the South for long
time to come. The next measure will
te to seize upon = the Supreme Court
by packing it with twelve new Justices.
Then would follow the raid upon the Offices.
Though there are scores and hundreds of
Democratic Postmasters now under the Re-
publican regime, no Republican Postmaster
would keep his Office day after the meeting Of
