Catching Snakes for a Livelihood.

THERE resides at Basket Station, Pa,
Il celebrated hunter, trapper, and
snaketamer, by the name of John Geer.
He is married, and has a family of chill
dren. During the winter months Geer
earns living for his family by hunting
birds and trapping foxes, bears and 9th
er animals, for which this region is
noted. His summers are spent in catch
ing tle-snakes, which are very numer-
GUS in the mountains around Basket
Geer knows where there are several rat
tlesnake dens, and he frequently visits
them with as much unconcern as
though he were going on whortleberry
expedition. He has dog that usually
accompanies him to the mountains
when on rattlesnake hunt, which, by
long practice, has acquired as great
skill in dispatching the reptiles as the
hunter and trapper himself While
hunting and trapping pays, Geer says
he can make far more money by killing
rattlesnakes and selling the oil. He al
ways carries crotched stick. When he
comes upon snake, he carefully places
the crotch over the reptiles neck, just
back of the head. Then, If he desires to
keep the snake alive, he removes the
poison by the aid of instruments made
for the purpose. But he seldom keeps
the snakes alive, but kills them, and
has regular process for extracting the
a.. Ill a.,
valuable, and sells readily for one dol
lar per ounce. 1t is said to have grea
curative powers. Geer says the presen
has been an exceedingly good year fol
snakes, and that he has killed nearly ,
hundred during the past three months
He claims that he can make good llv
ing at the snake business. He is no
afraid of the reptiles, and asserts that h
can cure their bites without fail.

THEY ARE FOUND WHEN NEEDED.

H COMING events cast their shadows
~ before" That depends on the
way the sun shines. The shadows of
the present events may sometimes be
found in the past. AS long ago as the
reign of Charles V. a man by the name
of Biasco DE Guerrero, in the presence of
the royal household, propelled vessel
of two hundred tons by steam, near Bar
celona. 1t was a wonderful success, the
steamer made admirable time, and after
the experiment was over she was hauled
upon the shore to decay,
Our readers may have heard of the
wild enthusiast who rushed about Eu-
rope more than two hundred years ago,
proclaiming that he had invented a
steam engine that would be the making
OF any nation that would adopt it; and
who, by the order of Cardinal Rlchelieu,
was committed to mad house in France,
where he died.
AS long ago as 1917 the theory of the

SUNDAY READING,
What has L Done for You.


After noted skeptic had concluded
one of his infidel lectures in village In
the north of England, he challenged
those present to discussion. Who should
accept the challenge but an old, bent
woman, In most antiquated attire, who
went up to him and said:
"Sir, 1 have question TO put to
you"
Well, my good woman, and what is
it?"
Ten years ago." she said I" i was
left widow, with eight children utterly
unprovlded for, nothing to call my own
but this Bible. BY its direction, and
looking to God for strength, have been
been enabled to feed myself and family
am tottering to my grave; but 1 am
perfectly happy, because look forward
to life of Immortality with Jesus In
Heaven. That's what my religion has
done for me. What has your way Of
thinking done for you ?"
"Well, my good LADY," rejoined the
lecturer, :" / don't want to disturb your
comfort; Dut"
"Oh that's not the question:" inter-
posed the woman; "keep to the point,
sir. What has your way of thinking
done for you ?"
The infidel endeavored to shirk the
matter again; the feeling of the meeting
gave vent to uproarious applause, and
the skeptic had to go away discounted
by an old woman.
Let us change the picture. The moth
er of Hume, the infidel philosopher, was
once professor of Christianity. Daz-
zed by the genius of her son, she apos-
tatized from her early faith, and follow
ed him into the mazes of skepticism.--
Years passed and she drew near the
gates of death, and from her dying bed
wrote to him the following pathetic let
ter:
My DEAR Son My health has
failed me. 1 am in deep decline.
can not long survive.
"My philosophy affords me no COM
fort in my distress. / am left withOut
the hopes and consultations of religion,
and my mind is sinking into state of
despair.
"You can afford me some substitute
for the loss of the hopes of religion. 1
pray you hasten home to consol me, or,
at least write to me the consultations that
philosophy affords at the dying hour"
Such are the straits into which infldel-
ity leads its votaries. To them death is
at best but leap into the dark, and
they shrink with fear lest il he leap in
to "the blackness of darkness forever
and ever"

Character.


Character is the estimation or worth
in which one is held; or simply the
sum of our actions, words and deeds
Therefore, forming our character should
be the first and most essential art that
we study. Although perfection has
never been attained, it may like other
arts be so thoroughly studied that the
eye of man cannot rightly detect but
few imperfections.
In the choice Of our friends we in
some measure, form our character, for
we are likely to be influenced by the
character of those whom we choose for
our friends. The person who possesses
true and noble character has won
many victories; has manypleasures and
advantages that one of bad and un-
friendly character never realizes or en-
joys.
BY strangers our character can be read
in our countenances, especially by those
who study that art, because there is not
q thought, word or deed that does not
leave its autograph on the human coun-
| tenance.
1t has been truly said that what we
do not do is more often better index OF
character than what we do.o Who OF
us will acknowledge that we could not
possibly have formed better charas-
| ter.

magnetic telegraph was projected, and
In rude way II was actually tested In
1906; and there the matter slumbered
until the present generation.
There was workman In one of the
mining districts of England, during the
last century, who discovered hole In
the ground from which streams of In
flammable gas issued. Being shrewd
and thoughtful man, he fitted pipe to
a bladder, filled 1t with gas, and on dark
nights used 1t as lantern to light him
self home-those who happened to meet
him looked on him with alright, as a
wizard.
The old Arabs found their way
about the desert by means of magnetic
needle, which they fastened to a bit of
cork and fioated on the water, ages be-
fore the mariners compass was thought

Why did all these things come to
nothing and die out Simply because
the world was not ready for them
There Is time and a season for every
thing under heaven. OF what use would
the printing press have been where
there were but few persons who could
read, and fewer still could write any
thing worth readingp What need was
there for locomotives and steamboats,,
and Pullman cars, when men and
women preferred to stay at home and
slseep in their own bedsY What call
was there for revolvers and breech- load
ers, when the surplus population was
swept of the world in other ways so
much more convenient and economical?
But when the time comes that any
thing is actually needed-and here we
see the clear token of an overruling
Providence-then it is sure to appear.
The period had arrived when it began
to be serious question how much long
er the American forests would be able to
supply the increasing demand for fuel,
consequent upon the new industries
and modes of travel coming into use.-
On winters day man is travelling on
horseback through Lehigh county in
Pennsylvania. A tornado had recently
uprooted some of the large trees in the
vicinity of his path, and near the base
of one of the prostrate trunks he sees the
fragments of black, shiny substance,
made conspicuous by the surrounding
snow. He puts few of these in his
pocket, takes them home, and finds
them inflammable. The time had come
when anthracite coal was needed, and
this was the way in which it was found.
Again, the whales were giving out
lard oil was getting to be expensive
patent fluids were blowing people up toe
rapidly, and the residents in the rural
districts were beginning to fear that they
might he obliged to give up work and
play, and go to bed at "early candle
light" But as it has been discovered
the inexhaustible stores of carbon were
hidden away in the bosom of the earth
waiting the necessity of man, it was
thought probable from certain symptoms
which appeared upon the surface, tha
there might be great tanks of oil con
cealed in the same dark cellar. A gim
let is inserted in the crust of the earth
and petroleum rushes forth almost a
