A BOdie Snake Story.
[From the Bodic Standard News


George Finney, driver of the Virginia
and Bodie stage, says that snakes of
several species, including hoops and rat
tiers, are getting to be 30 plentiful along
the road at his end of the route that it is
dangerous to leave the coach, and it is a
great wonder that he hasn't lost his team
before this. In coming in the other day
he drove into lot OF snakes TINT literally
covered the road for about 500 yards.
He couldn't turn out, 80 he sent the silk
into the horses and dashed through on q
dead run. How the team escaped injury
puzzles him. One big hoop snake, about
ten feet long, that was lying In the centre
of the road, as soon as II heard the coach
coming, uncoiled itself just rs the team
was passing over it and made O vicious
strike with its spiked, bony tail at the
belly of the nigh wheeler, but missed
him and struck the pole. The force of
the blow was 80 great that the tail was
driven into the hard wood some three
inches. The snake, being unable to
withdraw it, was dragged along some
100 hundred yards, until it was killed
by one of the wheelcrs stepping on it,
and breaking off the spike. The ven-
omous reptile gave frightful yell, de-
noting pain mingled with rage rs it ex-
pired, and before reaching the next sta
ton the wagon-pole had swolled up rs
big ms IN ordinary sawlog, while poison
was dripping out from under the irons at
each end like green sap froma freshly; Tut
sapling.

Worse or Man than the Prodigal.
(From the Detroit Free Press.l


In an alley off Hastings street, just
back of tumbledown rookery, a men,
Der of the sanitary police squad found q
man lying under wagon and inquired
if he was i'll. The man pointed to the
old house, cautioned the officer to speak
low, and replied:
sim the husband of the woman you
see hanging out clothes over there"
"And why are you hiding here?"
give been off on u spree for whole
week."
"Ah! see. 1t is the return Of the
prodigal."
"Wuss than that, sir. The prodigal
had no wife and he didn't steal the rent
money to get drunk on. Oh, I'll catch
it, sir, if you don't intercede for me-
"But what can I do?" -"
"You slip around the front of the
house and say that you have news for
her. Watch her face and see how she
takes it. Then tell her it is about me.
Watch and see if she gets white around
the mouth. Tell herthat you have news
that l was drowned at the ferry dock.
Watch her tears at this point. Tell her
that called her dear name as I went
down for the last time. Watch and see
if that melts her. If I can get her all
broken down and overcome Ill burst in
ON her nnd get her forgiveness before she
gets over wiping her eyes and pulling
debt of gratitude all my life. l think
Mary will melt under your soft words.
The officer slipped around and told the
wife that her husband was hiding in the
alley, and then took a position where he
could witness what followed. He had
hardly secured it when the man came
down the alley on a gallop, followed at a
short distance by the wife, armed with q
hoe-handlc. There were no words
spoken, but the man simply threw up
clouds of dust with his heels as he put
on steam, and "a he passed the officer he
somewhat CURLY observed. -
"Ahl but ye amt worth shucks at the
melting business!" ,ss

Bird Weayers.

Sparrows pick up hairs and straws
from the lawn, and warblers come to the
vines for cotton wool, passing fearless.
ly within three feet of your chair; then
they come back to break off little twigs
and to peel off shreds Of dry bark from
the honeysuckle. A pair of golden rob-
ins-the male with black and orange, the
female with yellow and duller black
come for string, worsted and thread; but
beware of them, for they are thieves.
Leave your knitting under the tree there
for five minutes, and it is gone; you will
find it week later, q part irrevocably
woven into the hanging nest, and a part
dangling with the needle in it. The
weaving is 30 cleverly done that you
wonder whether the orioles haven't used
your needles. Not Mt all, madam; l defy
you to produce with your implements
such piece of work as these birds have
produced with their bills. Successful
experiments have been made by supply
ing the orioles, in the tree where they
are occupied, with bright silks and
worsteds, which they employ altogether,
if literally provided, so that very gay
and party-colored nest may swing in youl
orchard where you can see it from the
house. Wilson says that an old lady, to
whom he showed an orioles nest in which
piece of dry grass, thirteen inches long,
was passed through thiIty-four times,
asked him, half in earnest, if the birds
couldn't be taught to dam stockings

DispOsing Of Grain StubbIe.

In many portions of the west the prac-
tice OF burning stubble before the land
is replowed or mown is general. In
other places it is customary to pillow il
under if the land is to be again sown
with grain, and to allow it to remain us
protection to the young clover and grass
If crop of hay is to be cut the following
year. Farmers who pillow under stubble
do it with the understanding that they
are restoring to the soil q considerable
amount of fertilizing material that is
lost if the stubble is burned. In point
of fact the stubble of grain contains
very little material aside from potash
that is beneficial to prairie soils.
The potash is restored whether the
stubble is burned or covered. The re-
maindcr of the straw is chiefly carbon,
with which the soil is beautifully sup
piled. Stubbleiutcrferes with the action
of the pillow, and when turned under
seems to render the soil too loose for a
good seed bed.
Hard clay soils are benefited mechani-
cally by turning under stubble, and they
are improved to some extent chemically,
as such soils are generally deficient in
CdIDOI. by DufiiiiiS obhuoie uiully bcctts
and insects are destroyed, and the potash
it contains is rendered Immediately avail
able for the growth of plants. There is
some danger in burning stubble fields,
but if favorable time is chosen the de-
gree of danger is very slight. Grain
stubble is of some benefit in protecting
your grass and clover during the winter.
II assists in holding the snow and in
breaking the force of the wind. If sui.
fered to remain standing, however, it
will interfere with the action of the
moving machine aud rake when the hay
is being harvested the coming season.
Few things take the edge from q scythe
or cuttinG-hla1e quicker than grain stub
bic.

The Text.

A pious old lady, who was too unwell
to attend meeting, used to send her
thick-headed husband to church to find
out the text the preacher selected as the
foundation of his discourse. The poor
Ounce was rarely fortunate enough to re-
member the words of the text, or even
the chapter and verse where they could
be found; but one Sabbath he ran home
in hot haste, informed his wife that he
could repeat every word, without miss
ing a syllable. The words were as fol-
lows: .
"An angel came down from heaven
and took live coal from the altar"
"Know every word, replied the hus-
band.
~ am anxious to hear il, continued
the wife.
"They are nice Words" continued the
husband. .,..
81 am glad your memory is improv-
ing; but don't keep me in suspense, my
dear" said she. III q. -
"Just get your big Bible, and I will
say the words, for I know them by
heart. said them hundred times on
my way home" aa- y o.
"Well, let's hear them" .t hr
"Ahem 7 said he clearing his throat.

and took live colt by the tail and

Lots Like Him.


A young lady who says she is young
and handsome writes! "The man for
me to love is vastly my superior,
man who will compel my spirit to bend
its knee to his; who will command my
soul to stand still and shine on him, as
Joshua commanded the sun; who can
trample my will to the dust" etc. She
would have no difficulty in finding such
q man-one who will not only command
her soul to stand still, but who will also
command it's owner TO get up first in the
morning to build the fires, split kindlings
and carry up the coal, and whose Ian
guage will make her hair stand on end
when he comes home and finds dinner
fifteen minutes late. There are lots of
men who will bend her spirit for her,
and also make her back bend over the
washtub; while they go down to the sa-
loon and discuss the best method of saw
ing the country from the hands Of its po-
litical enemies.
