Chased by Snakes.

Not long ago some boys from
Wllliamsport, Pa, started up Lycoming
creek after making arrangements TO
have their stores transported to a wild
point in a little dell, surrounded by
ragged rocks, where they intended to
camp. They reached the point selected
early in the afternoon and pitched their
tent. The first night was passed quite
pleasantly, although Eeles dreamed that
he was chased by an enormous black
snake and did not sleep very soundly.
The next morning they started out early
to fish, each man armed with a small
bottle of snake medicine in his satchel
The stream made its, way over rugged
rocks, forming little cascades and pools
every few hundred yards, where some
very fine trout were found. Primeval
hemlocks formed an archway overhead,
completely shutting out the sun, and
the air was cool and refreshing. The
second day the party scattered along the
little stream to fish, each man intent on
bagging all he could. Deacon Calvert
went ahead, followed by Policeman
Bubb, who was about quarter of mile
in his rear. The others fshed down
stream. Everything went well for about
two hours, when Bubb was suddenly
startled by series of frightful screams
IN the direction the deacon had taken.
Dropping his rod he ran to see what the
trouble was, fearing that his comrade
had been caught 10y bear. Arriving
at the spot he was Mortified to find the
deacon standing like statue on large
fiat rock, so completely charmed by four
enormous rattlesnakes that he could not
move. As he did not fear snakes and
wished to have some fun with the
deacon he rushed up and grasped the
largest snake with his right hand around
the neck, as it evidently was on the
point of springing at the charmed fisher
man. This broke the charm. The
other snakes fed and Bubb shook the
poisonous reptile which he grasped at
Calvert, who gave frightful yell and
started down stream as fast as his legs
would carry him. Bubb pursued, shak-
ing the snake at him, which writhed
and twisted as he held it in his grasp.
In few minutes he discovered that it
was coiling tightly around his arm and
it shook its rattles defantly in his face
He found its coil grow tighter every
This alarmed him and he would gladly
have flung it from him, but he could
not. He must retain his hold, as it was
life or death with him. Great beads of
perspiration stood on his forehead and
he felt sick. The reptile cOiled tighter
and tighter around his arm, while its
eyes glistened like sparks of fire and its
white fangs could be plainly seen.
Finally, in a moment of desperation, he
thought of his jack-knife and after
fumbling for some minutes he got it out
and, opening the blade with his teeth,
severed the head of the reptile from its
body and saved his life. His arm re-
mained partially paralyzed for the
balance of the day, and he declares that
he will never grasp snake in that way
again.
On making his way to the camp he
.ound the 'Deacon" looking as white as

Dangers of the Ice-HOuse.

It is not generally known, but chem
istry nevertheless afirms, that certain
gas is generated from ice. An ice-house
is, in fact, regular powder magazine,
and people who have ice-houses should
take care to secure proper ventilation.
At certain state of heat, the gas in an
ice-house has been known to explode by
the lighting of match. The fact does
not appear to be generally known.

The Fragile Follower.

Haven young lady Of Brooklyn girl,
as the two sat down to dish of fried
CLANS in Fulton street restaurant.
81 guess So" replied the Brooklyn
girl, vaguely. "WhYdo you ask ?"
Cause its so terribly awfully the
thing. We're all $thetic at home.
Everybody is, and yoh don't know how
we enjoy it" y
"Is it's it very extensive ?" queried
the Brooklyn girl, feeling her way,
ut comes rather high, but it is so es-
sential. | haven't felt SO we'll since I
left school as / have since being esthe-
tic. You don't know how much 1 have
gained !"
"Wh ats the nature of it?" How do
you take it?"
ooh, you sit around, and be exces-
sive, and when one speaks to You glare
at 'em and say, How quite ! Then
you shut your eyes and breathe hard. l
wouldn't be without it for anything.
They say it's very healthy"
"Can you do it alone?"
"Oh, gracious, no 1t takes four or
five to play. All you've got to do is to
cut off your eyelashes, so as to look
stony, and then practice with some
chairs until you are ready to go into
society. At home we commenced with
clothespins to represent the gentlemen,
and bandoline bottles for the ladies.
Then we joined the Association and
licked 'em all. "
'I had an idea that esthetic meant
the pleasuruble sensations that arise
from a qualification of artist apprecia-
tion," explained the Brooklyn girl tim
idly.
"Merciful goodness, no On the con-
trary, it means the absence of taste. You
mustn't have any taste. You must only
be utter.
"How do you fetch that?'
"That's done by holding your breath
until you are nearly ready to burst, and
then let it out quick You do that when
somebody asks you if you are prepared
to esthet. Then you go on estheting
until the party breaks up. Myra Brown,
of New Haven, is just lovely at it. We
admire her so much"
''It must be fun," mused the Brook
lyn girl, holding clam on her fork and
contemplating her companion.
cit just is. The gentlemen are ever
so nice. They wear swallow-stomach
coats and eyeglasses"
"Eh ?" calculated the Brooklyn girl,
rather sta rtled at the uniform.
eyes, and they are so extreme. Oh,
you don't know. When we girls are
estheting we wear sort of shrOud. Mine
is cashmere, and 81 yard. Some of
the societies wear lilies, but we use pop
pies. They are more languid. The last time
we met somebody put edpepper on the
stove, and haven't fully recovered yet.
Then some of the esthetes are gracile,
but our society runs to flesh. We think
it more soulful"
GIVE got an idea that it's a sort OF
fraud, from your description" observ-
ed the Brooklyn girl gulping down the
clam
''You nasty hussy!" shouted the
esthete. you've got no more intensity
than lobster You're coarse, vulgar
animal You are a sensile groveler And
more than that, you pay for those CLAIMS
or you stay in pawn for 'em?
And the fragile follower OF the prevail

lishment, leaving her hard-headed
friend to iquidate the account. Il

They are liable to forget the sufficient

A Somnambulists Walk.


lGON IItSS.
The other evening as Officer
Lavery, of Waterford, was patrol
ling that village, his attention was
attracted by a Pickering light that
came down one of the side streets
and proceeded up Broad street a
short distance toward the canal.
The officer hastened to the spot,
and was much surprised to see an
old citizen, clad only in his night
robe, with lighted candle in his
hand, passing along the street
looking at the doors of houses as
though in search Of some particu-
lar locality. 1t was raining at the
time, and the drops of water falling
on the candle nearly quenched it.
Mr.. Lavery accosted the man, but
receiving no response, and going
closer, saw he was walking in his
sleep. The officer aroused the
somnambulant pedestrian and es-
corted him to his home.

Nehalem Lands for Immigrants.

1t is well worth while to draw
the attention of the incoming i'm
migrants to the inducements which
offer TO the immigrant of moderate
means to settle in the Nehalen
valley. The lower part Of this
valley has very few settlers, but
there are good homes there to be
taken up, as government lands,
and lands that can be bought of
the railroad company, TO supply
five hundred families. The lands
are exceedingly rich and although
mostly covered with timber and
brush are easily cleared. Hops
would be a very profitable crep to
raise there, as they will bear well
the cost of hauling out TO Astoria.
All sorts of grain and roots excel
IN this valley and can be used
with great profit in fattening beef
and hogs for the early spring mar
ket in Astoria, where they will
bring always a very high rate. 1t
should be borne ia mind that in
order to make a success Of the
settlement in the lower Nehalem,
settlers should band together in
sufficient numbers 10 maintain
their school, their blacksmith, and
their church, as well as 10 be
sufficiently strong TO keep open
the road from the lower Nehalem
to Astoria. II forty families
should agree TO settle in that
country as neighbors, they could
easily keep up a good wagon road
in their own settlement and to
Astoria. The price of government
lands is the same as in other I'M
settled portions of our county,
and railroad sections can be bought
at 81 80 per acre, the money to be
refunded if the railroad is not
built.

The Michigan Legislature has
passed a bill making it a crime
punishable by a fine of 81, 600 and
a year in Jail, to publish accounts
of rape, incest, murder, executions
or seductions, and the bill includes
even the sale, distribution or po-
session of such newspaper ac-
counts. A Dakota contemporary
hastens to remark that: "A gang
of wolverine backwoodsmen will
not be able to nuzzle the press of
Michigan for any length of time,
much less inaugurate q reform
which will affect the press of the
country at large" IL it be a re-

Nobody Hurt.

Sunday, the 2Oth, was when the
conjunction of the planets oc-
CURED. Venus, Jupiter, Saturn
and Neptune were nearly in line
with the sun and moon, all attract
ing on one side of the earth. In
San Francisco it was one of the
clearest days they have observed
this summer. The wind blew a
brisk gale from the west, varying
in velocity from q to &c miles an
hour, and the temperature, at one
o'clock P. NJ, was So Fahrenheit,
barometer 30.02 in. From hills
back of the Preside, the Faral-
lones, point Reyes, Mount Diablo,
and the Sierra range, beyond the
southern part of the bay, were
clearly seen with every indenta-
ton and feature of their various
outlines sharply defined. At
Portland and Olympia, the wind
was south with light rain, and the
thermometer go Fahrenheit. At
Salt Lake the wind was southeast,
and temperature $40, and at Chey-
enne. northwest and 80 Fahren-
heit. The air seemed very fresh,
pure and invigorating, full of
ozone and other healthy and life
preserving qualities. Otherwise,
nothing unusual occurred.

the Empress Of India. The
excursion boat that went down in

about 600 souls on board, WAS
known as the Princess Alice.
The ship which foundered off
