would be beneficial. He believed in the

snake SuyeratitIons.

Barnes Educational Monthly makes
some interesting statements as to the
different supersrltions prevalent among
the Indians in regard to the snake. 1t
says that the slealihy character of the
snake, and The fatal effect Of its appar-
emily insignificant bite led the Indians to
attribute TO 1t the quality OF spiritual
power. The serpent was at enc time
worshiped as a divine being by all the
tribes from Cape Horn TO Hu lson's Bay,
and from ocean to ocean. The rattle
snake was an especial object of worship,
on account, it Is believed, of its power
and disposition to give warning of its
presence, thus doing an act of bravery
which inspired the Indian with admira-
ton for hIs character. The superstition
! respecting snakes WAS traced throughout
| the globe among savage people.
In Africa the Maruyi believe that the
souls Of bad men CO. after death into
| jackals and those Of good men into
snakes. The Zulls think that the high
state Of future existence of the snake is
reached by progression through wasps
| lizards and other less esteemed creatures
The Winnebago In.ians attributed an
evil spirit to the rattlcsnake, but they
abstalned from killing it, because they
feared that it would out OF revenge send
| pestilence among them. Some tribes
| were accustomed 10 salute the rattlesnake
reverentially, and would placate it by
| sprinkling tobacco upon II, and by Other
acts of friendship, and then they would
secretly catch it by the tail and kill il
| quickly preserving the skin as a trophy
and as an object Of vencration.
The DakOtas had a custom of smoking
| to the rattlesnake and then praying to
| it to 90 home and harm them not. These
Indians supposed that If they killed a
serpent, another one would come and
| bite them out Of revenge. The Semi.
noles never killed any kind OF a serpent
| The medicine men OF some tribes had
an ingenious instrument made Of rattle
snakes teeth, which they used fol
scratching the skin OF their patients
| From the fact that the savage believed
that every animal had a soul the etlorts
to appease the onended spirit Of the
yuttlesnake by casting dog into the
lake, or by shedding the blood of tho
person who offended the split, becomes
intelligble. The Menominees used the
rattlesnake largely in their mysterious
| observances, and among many of the
tribes certain part Of the snake waf
used as help to women in childbirth
One method Of thus securing assistance
TO the woman is for her to hold the tai
of a rattlesnake in her hand during labor
and to shake the rattle.
Among tue Louisiana Indians there
was custom which required the WON
en- when about 10 become mothers tc
| swallow the rattle of rattlesnake, the
theory being that it enabled the birth tC
take place without pain to the mother
Other tribes used the rattle Us curt

Ir is announced from New York that
the Union and Kansas Pacific Railroads
are to be consolidated. Inasmuch as
both lines are already in the hands Of
the Jay Gould combination, the consoli-
lation can not be more than a step TO de-
crease the expense of maintaining the
official departments. 1t is claimed also
that by this move the Union Pacific can
give its east-bound freight to the Kansas
Pacific farther West and allow its deliv-
ery to the Wabash Road at Kansas City,
instead of sending it on to Oman, where
by statutory provisions it must be divid-

The Maiden's Lean.

A daughter Of the first Earl OF Gowrie
was courted by young gentleman much
her inferior III rank and fortune. Her
family, though they gave no encourage
mcnt to the match, permitted him to
visit them at their castle Of Ruthven in
Pertshire, and on such occasions the
chamber assigned him was in q tower,
near another tower in which the young
lady slept. On one OF his visits the
young lady, before the doors was shut,
got into her lovers apartment, but some
Of the family having discovered 1t. told
her mother, who, cutting off, as she
thought all possibility Of retreat, hast
ened TO surprise them; the young lady,
however, hearing the well-known steps
Of her mother hobbling up stairs, ran TO
the leads, and took desperate leap Of
nine feet four inches over chasm of
sixty feet from the ground, alighted on
the battlements Of the other tower,
whence descending into her own cham
Der, she crept into bed. Her mother
having in vain sought her in the lovers
chamber, came into her room, where,
finding her seemingly asleep, she apollo
giSed for her unjust suspicion. The
young lady eloped the following night,
and was married. The chasm between
the towers is still shown under the ap-
pellation of the "Maiden's Leap"
