Snakes Catching Fish.

One day, while catching minnows as
usual, | noticed a number Of snakes, the
common water moccasin, approaching
the dam or footway Of stones. The water
vet lacked several inches Of reaching the
top Of the stoneway, although 1t was
rushing in quite rapidly, and carrying
with it many bull-mlnnows and small
white perch which were unable to resist
it. Watching the snakes, | saw one
after another reach the dam and take
their station upon it, submerging them
selves all but their heads, which We're
raised about an inch above the water,
and pointed in the direction Of the in
coming tide. In this position counted
seventeen snakes. arranged Ill uneven
intervals, IN a space of less than sixty
feet. ! came to the conclusion mt once
that they Were fishing, and watched
them with good dead of interest Pretty
soon saw one head strike forward, going
under the water, reappearing Ill mo-
ment with very large bull minnow IN
its mouth The snake immediately loos-
cned its hold upon the rocks and swan
for the shore, reaching which it disap-
pearcd in the bushes and this was re-
pcated at intervals by each of the Sow
entcen snakes When they returned
from the bushes, having made short
work Of their "catch," each snake
sought his own particular location on
the rocks, there being no clashing of in
tcrcsts there. Now how is this for
reason or instinct? How do these
snakes know where to locate themselves,
and the particular stage of the tide at
which to start ON their fishing cxcur-
sion? How do they know that n num-
Der Of minnows will be swept over the
miniature falls made by the rocks?
These ARE questions that go beyond my
comprehension, and | leave them for
others 20 answer. But the facts remain,
and any one who will take the trouble
may verify them at any time during the
summer by visit to Gravelly creek
FOrta and Stream.

JTnskillful Among Women.

The incapable I" are a great fact, says
an English womans journal, and, as
things are at present, they ore legacy
which has come down to us as the result
of the notion that women ought to be
always in dependent position. We
think and hope that that notion Is pass
ing away. Women Of the poorer classes
have never had it; they have always
known that they must know how to earn
their bread. Women of the highest
classes are very often by their positions
and connections forced to develop an
administrative capacity; and their rank
in life prevents them, If capable,
from becoming an utter burden ON
strangers The middle-class women, to
whom incapableness means starva-
ton if they are poor and unmarried, or
poor widows with children, are slowly
beginning to learn that they must get
such business faculties as they are pos
sessed Of developed properly, if they
are not utterly to fall behind In the race
for existence. 1t may be that the
nature OF women is such that the "inca-
pables" among them will never cease,
any more than the poor out OF the land
but it is the clear duty of every father
and mother, and of every one who has
10 do with the education and manage
mcnt of girls, to do their best to eradi-
cate this "incapableness," and to make
women fit to bear their part earnestly
and capably in the work Of life.

An ACCOMPLISHED Blind Man.

There died, not long since, in the
town Of Burlington, James Goodsell.
who, from his birth, during life OF
nearly 80 years, had been totally blind,
In early childhood, however, Mr.. Good
sell had said that the darkness was, in a
few instances, broken by faint glimmer-
ings Of light. OF four children, he and
n sister were blind, the others could see.
The sister, though at first possessed of
ordinary vision, soon, by a mysterious
change, became wholly deprived OF
sight. In absolute darkness, the ordin-
airy employments of work-a-day life
would seem impracticable, but this
blind man would swing an ax with the
dextelity Of woodsman, and actually
fcllcd trees he was an accomplished
grain-thrcsher, and would frequently go
alone distance Of two miles to thresh
for the Burlington farmers, climbing
the mows to throw down the grain he
could hoe corn or garden stuiis AS well as
anybody, having no trouble to distin-
guish the weeds. He would set 100 bean
poles with more accuracy than most
people who can see, would load hay
beautifully, and was SO good mechanic
that he manufactured yokcs and other
farm articles with success. He had an
excellent memory ana was an authority
on facts and dates. He could generally
tell the time Of day or night within a
few minutes. One instance is given
when he slept over one day and awoke
at evening, thinking it was morning.
For once he ate supper for breakfast,
but when informed OF his mistake slept
another twelve hours i'll order to get
straight again. He was familiar with
forest trees, and knew just where to go
for any timber desired. He could direct
men where to find achestnut, maple or
an oak, and the children where to 20 for
berries. He was good mathematician,
and could compute accurately and rap
idly. In olden days he was quite musi-
cally inclined, and like most blind people
he had genius in that direction. &C.

A Scene In n SchOOl.ROOm.

Boy-naturc was neither studied or un.
derstood in the former days II the
modern school, taking its cue from the
modern family, leans unduly to the side
Of moral suasion, the ld-fashioned
schoomastcr was partisan of tlogging.
He also took his cue from the parents,
whose motto was, 'Sparo the rod, spoil
the child.
Owe brought you our jock said q

ging forward a struggling young savage;
"mind We lick him weel!
No wonder that jock, thus consigned
to the rule of the strap, should grow up
worse savage. OF course he would be-
come bully and beat his weaker mates.
A Scotch editor, commenting on the
rough school of his boyhood, where
nothing kept the boys in any sort Of or
der but the strap, tatSc is It's Scotch
name, describes scene which he wit
messed during school session :,
jock had maltrcatcd son of hers on
the green, and she had come to inhict
vengeance upon him before the whole
school. Jocks conscious soul trcmbled
at the sight, and she had little difficulty
i'll detecting him.
Ere the master had recovered from.the
establishment which her intrusion had
created the fell yirago had pounced upon
the culprit, had dragged him into the
middle of the floor, and there began to
bclabor him with the domestic tdusG,
which she had brought for the purpose.
The screams of the boy, the anxious
cntreaties Of the master, with his con-
slant, "Wiiic, wife, be quiet, be quiet"
and the agltated feeling which began to
pcryade the school, formed ascene which
defy words to paint it,
Nor did Meg lesist till she had given
Master Forsyth reason to remember her
to the latest day of his existence. She

Umbrellas are the things most easily
EFF; behind in the Paris cabs. Some per-
soLs leave newspapers, others gloves /;
wealthy men have dropped bank-notcs /;
n bald man is even said to have lost his
wig and there are not fewer than three
instances of men having forgotten their
wives. But umbrellas are the articles
most commonly left behind. A man
named Moscnouy set up II new proies-
sion on this habit Of forgetting things
in the four. wheelcrs of the capital. He
would walk along the file OF cabs aud
cast II glance in each empty vehicle, nm
til he found one with II parcel on the
seat or an umbrella in the corner. He
would then get in, tell the driver to take
him somewhere, and on alighting carry
off his prize. Mosenouy, however, got
to he noticed by the cabmen, whose sus-
picions he had aroused, and Louis, Il
willy old driver, seeing him coming one
day, laid trap for him by placing his
wife's umbrella inside his own cab. Mo-
senouy at once spotted it, got in, gayethe
driver an address, and, on arriving, got
out, paid his fare, and was about to walk
off with Nine. Louis bingham, when the
other called policeman and gave him
in charge. This was not the first time
that Mosenouy had been brought before
the Police Court, so he was at once sen.
fenced to ten months Imprisonment.

Another View OF Ireland's Famine.

William J. Elliott, superintendent OF
the State printing, and former editor OF
the irish citizen, having just returned
from visit of two or three months in
Ireland, reporter of the Cincinnati
Commercial found him at the Gibson
House, and in the interview which fol-
lowed, Mr.. Elliott said, after question
about starvation in Ireland:
"Starvingbe -, that's just all that peo-
pie in this country know about 1t. There
is little corner in COnnaught where the
potato crop ran short and the poor people
were not able to buy their seed. In one
or two other little spots the crops ran
short, too, but it was confined almost
wholly to one corner of Connaught and
the Islands. On the islands it would not
have been so bad if the tishermen's nets
were not played out, and the reduced
crops left them short Of means to repair
them. A little local help would carry
them through their trouble very easy,
but there was no local help offered, The
meancst feature about all the short crops
and appeals for help in Ireland is that
none of the wealthy people offered a
penny themselves for relief They sit
back in their chairs and appeal to Amen-
ca and Australia. "
