Fight With a Python.

The Straits Times gives an eX
citing account OF an encounter with
python: "A sportsman who pen
Ell ated into the jungles lying be
tween Buddoh ana Strangoon came
upon a lone hut, in a district called
Campong Batta, upon the roof of
which the skin of an enormous boa
or python was spread out The
hut was occupied by a Malay and
his wife who told the sportsman
the following extraordinary story:
"One night about week previous
the Malay was awakened by the
cries of his wife. Surprising in the
darkness that she had been at
tackled by thieves, he seized his
sharp parang aud CROPPED his way
to her sleeping place. where his
hand fell upon Shiny reptile. 1t
was fully minute before he could
comprehend the entire situation,
and when he did he discovered
that the whole of his wife's arm
had been drawn down the mon
ster's throat, whittier the upper
part of her body was slowly but
surely following. Not daring to at
tack the monster at once for fear
of causing his wite's death, the
husband seized two bags within
reach and commenced stuf1ing them
into the corners of the snakes
jaws, by means of which he sue
ceeded in forcing them wider open
and releasing his wife's arm. No
sooner had the boa lost his prev
than he attacked the husband, whom
he began encircling in his fatal
coils, but holding out both arms
aud watching his opportunity. the
man attacked the monster so vigo-
rously with his parang that it sud
denly uuwound itself and vanished
through an opening beneath the at
tap sides OF the hut. The Malay's
clothes were covered with blood, as
was also the floor of the hut, and
his wIfe's arm was blue with the
squeezing 1t received between the
boa's jaws. AT daylight the hus
band discovered his pa5ch of plan
tain trees nearly ruined, the boa
having IN his agony broken of the
tress at the roots, and in the midst
of the debris lay the monster it,
self dead. The Malay stated that
he had realiz Il $50 from Chinese,
who came lorg distances to pur-
chase pieces II the flesh on account
of its supposed medicinal proper
ties, and that he had refused Sc
for the skin, which he preferred to
retain rs a trophy"

the instep and a deep indendation
in the sole. The indentation, it is
considered, should measure about
an inch and half from the part of
the foot that rests on the ground
up to the instep. Successive layers
of bandages are used till the strip
is all used, and the end is then
sewn tightly down. The foot is so
squeezed upward that, in walking,
only the ball of the great toe touch
es the ground. Large quantities of
powdered alum are used to prevent
liberation and lessen the offensive
odor. After a month the foot is
put in hot water to soak some time;
then the bandage is carefully I'M
wound, much dead cuticle coming
off with it. Ulcers and other sores
are often found on the foot; fire.
que1tly, too, a large piece of flesh
sloughs off the sole, and one or two
toes nay even fall off, in which case
the woman feels afterward repaid by
having smaller and more delicate
feet. Each time the bandage is ia
ken off the foot is kneaded, to make
the joints more flexible, and is then
bound up again as quickly as posi-
BILE with fresh bandage, which is
drawn more tightly. During the
first year the pain is so intense
that the sufferer can do nothing, and
for about two years the foot aches
continually, and is the seat of a
pain which is like the pricking of
sharp needles. With continued
vigorous binding the foot in two
years becomes dead and ceases to
ache, and the whole leg, from the
knee down ward, becomes shrunk, so
as to be little more than skin and
bone. When once formed, the
golden lily" as the Chinese lady
calls her delicate little foot, can
never recover fits original shape

Think of St. Paul Doting on
Crimps."

Richmond Christian Advocate: :
The time was, when young preach
er, contemplating matrimony"
consulted his elder, and was gov.
erned accordingly. We fear the
juniors OF our day are trifle back
ward in laying the matter even be-
fore the Lord. Or else the Lord
does not communicate by "open
vision, or by Trim, or by dream"
We have a notion that if any di-
vine response came it was very
brief and in one word: Don't"
AS the conference, as it were, Of
fers a premium for married men,
and as the heart of the undergradu-
ates are fully set in them to "lead
about a sister," we will venture a
sentence or two of counsel, to quit
our conscience of a duty, not with
the vain hope of any one "inwardly
diges;ing" the advice. We know
the proverb: "He that spits against
the wind spits in his own face"
Imprimis. Choose of a healthy
family and pick n woman Of sound
body. (This is scandalously un-
sentimental, but it is sense.
1t is better to get stout sinner
than a pious and hysterical invalid.
The former can be converted. The
hypochondriac may convert her
husband into a sinner o. sour
drone.
Do thy diligence to find out
whether she is lazy. Flee, oh
young man, from an indOlent and
thriftlcss woman. Pray heaven
with strong cries to deliver you
from ali untidy housewife. Does
she love music? Consider 1T not
until you hear her discourse on
leaven and yeast powders. Happi-
ness is in the art of manipulating
hops and Irish potatoes in such
mixture as puffs dough into sweet,
light rolls. Does she love poetry?
Let her also be well versed in pas
try. Knowing Lucille by heart
won't atone for a lcathery crust.
Rhyme is no remedy for the dys-
pepsia. Inquire whether she is
quick and expert with the needle
before concerning yourself about
her vocal powers. Ii she can play
and patch, 50 much the better.
And thus endeth the first lesson.
And, secondly-but it's a waste
of words TO proceed further. He is
bound to marry her, even il she
never saw biscuit baked nor
hemmed a handkerchief. She has
curls. She has an arch way OF
shaking them. The ringlets have en-
shared him. Cupid, like the
Greek archers, twists the locks of
maidens into bow-strings.

The Use of Money.

In multitudes of families no spe-
cial care is taken to teach a child
the right use of money. Economy
and thrift may be lauded; but,
meantime, the children receive peck
ct money without system or meth
cd; asking for it when they please,
and if the parent has it to spare it
is given, if not, they go without
And as there is no method in sup
plying, 50 there Is none in spend
ing; they buy what tempts them
until their little supply is exhaust
ell, All this is an unconcious train
ing in bad habits. Instruction may
be frequent and good, yet entirely
neutralized by the influence of such
ways. Training would talk little
about thrift, but would seek 30
show it in practice. Where there is
skillful training the parent will, for
example, allot to the child stated
sum; will name regular days for
paying the allowance and will be
punctual as a banker; will assist
the child to select a safe place for
keeping his little fund; will show
HIM how to keep a small account
and take a companionab.e interest
in balancing it, will sympaGhize in
any Juvenile plans of saving--unless
there is the evidence of the devel-
opment of parsimonious spirit
and in due time lead the way to
the savings banks. A great vsrie
ty of devices may be Obtained
The parent can open a play bank,
receive deposits and pay interest.
He can advance part of the money
needful to buy the skates, the We
locipede, or the watch for which
the yOungster has not quite enough
in hand, and take a mortgage
writing it down to the child's com
prehension-on the thing, until the
furtt er savings of the mortgagor
are sufficient to pay the whole. BY
such means the child's character
may be built up, and his knowledge
of the use of mo.ey formed.

1t is not an uncommon occurrence
to find a sod turned under in May
thoroughly decomposed before one
turned under in November previous.
The one turned under in May is
well warmed, decomposition of the
grass commencing Immediately,
while the one turned in November
is cold when turned under and is
longer in the spring before it gets
as thoroughly warmed as the one
turned under in May.

THE San FRANCIsCo'taxpayers have
had two years CT ssnd-lOt rule, and
being no hogs they know when they
have had enough. At the municipal
election two or three days ago a re-
publican mayor was chCsan. and with
two or three exceptions the entire re-
publican ticket Was elected. The
democrats pooled !heir issues with
the sand.lot outfit. and as q proper
punishment for being found in bad
company, the voters repudisted them.
The people evidently think that re

thing tainted with Kearueyism, which
proves that they are pretty thoroughly

BLAINE.

Whether President Garfield gets

stRlWart branch of the republican
psrty is going to have trouble in dis
posing of. Secretary Blaine. Oh
course be must be gotten rid of or the
s.alwarts will have TO 60 to the wall,
notwithstanding they may have the
chief executive of the nation in she
person Of Vice.President Arthur.
Most men have achieved fame and
position from taking advantage Of
circumstances in creating which they
had no part. Blaine hiss been q big
man for fifteen years or more, but DC
was not tall enough to reach what be
wanted, simply because there WAS nc

arose By his own effort and inherent
strength OF character and intellect.

TIE MASSACHUSETTS superior court
