A woman Not AFRAID of snakes.

A milk snake ran under the clothes of
Mrs. Foster, living little west of Lockport,
N. Y, and bit her on the thigh. The
woman was with her husband clearing
brush in the orchard, and she grasped the
reptile, when it retrcated. She then started
on run for her husband, screaming, with
the snake in hot pursuit. Seeing club in
her pathway she picked it up and courage
ously beat out the brains of the snake, just
as her husband reached her When
measured the snake was found to be four
feet long and two inches in diameter. The
wound was quite painful the same evening,
but remedies were promptly applied and no
serious effects are predicted.

Attendance on London Churches.

The established church in London appears
to be losing its hold on the people at very
discouraging rate, and some of the clergy
men are arc in danger of being reduced to
the condition Dean Swift when he found
that his congregation consisted only of the
clerk. The st. James Gasette publishes CEN
sus of the attendance at places of worship in
the city on Sunday, May 1, the return conf
prising 81 parishes and 10 noncomformist
chapcls The entire attendance at the
churches was 6,73l, but this includes large
proportion of officials and their families,
charity children, and poor attending on
relief. The general congregation is esti-
mated at 1858 only. Even after emitting
five Hebrew congregations, it was found
that the attendance at the fifteen noncom-
formist chapels was nearly equal that in the
81 churches. The officials attending the
churches included FOG choristers, so that
there was singer for every five members
of a congregation proper. AS few of the
churches are fairly attended, it follows that
some must be well-nigh empty. The total
income Of the clergy who ministcred to the
total general congregation of 1858 was ac-
cording to one authority, more than 100000,
and according to another nearly $4,000.

II SOME of the current rumors are true,
that very great man, Victor Hugo, will not
hereafter be crowned with the perfect praises
of one of the great men of America. Victor
takes naturally to praise he swims like
duck in sea of glory, but has not displayed
any taste for the waters of oblivion, and he
may perhaps comfort himself for his losses
in this country by feeling that he may
swim again on tide of public admiration
for his new proof of patriotism. 1t is whis-
pered that wealthy New Yorker offered a
very large sum of money for two celebrated
pictures in the possession of a Partisan lady.
The owner is wealthy, but the amount
offered was temptingly large, and the lady,
in her hesitation, applied to Hugo for his
opinion. This magnificent potentatc adj
vised her not to sell, but to bequeath the
pictures at her death to the Louvre, and by
the gift win for her name a title to immor-
tafity. The lady took his advice in good
part which was very amable Of her, if it is
true as reported that the poet-oracle pro-
nounced his warning thus; Part with
these pictures and you will no longer be
Madame de Cassin you will be only M6l-
'stme Cassin |"

Natural Flowers withom soil.


Natural flowers, reared according to the
system of Michelct's son-in-law, were much
worn in broad-brimmcd hats at the Foire
amr Piaisirs recently According to this
method plants can be trained to bear fruits
and flowers without earth round their roots,
A fashionable modisfe went to Normandy to
buy quantity of flowers so trained from
Michclet's son-in-law and dressed up with
them the hats of lady patroncsses of the
Foire dur Plaisirs who deal with her. She
also furnished them with small bouquets
for their parasols and corsages, which kept
their bloom as well as if they had remained
in a parterrc. The secret of this method is
well kept. fit got out or if patentee
worked it on a large scale, it would ruin
the trade in artificial flowers, which gives
employment to so many Parisiennes.
There might then be hat gardening as well
as window-gardening. A show of flowers,
reared in complete independence of Mother
Earth was held last April at Rouen, and
was not inferior to the ordinary horticul-
tural exhibition. Certainly, the natural
flowers in the hats of some of the lady
patronesses were covered with splendid
bloom, and their bare roots were turned to
ornamental account.

The Old Horse ana tho New.

The Fortnightly Review.
As soon as our three most illustrious
Eastern colonists, the Byerly Turk, the
barley Arabian, and the Godolphin horse of
unknown parcntagc, had established them
selves and their families in the land, the
breeding of the English 1ce-horse may be
said to have consummated itself. Older for
eign sres helped 10 feed the dcscents for
awhile; thus Brilliant has little or nothing
: to do with the Byerly Turk, and King He
rod is perhaps the last horse of renown who
is q stranger in blood to Godolphn. Still
the three families were inextricably inter-
twined 100 years ago, and have gone on
combining and recombining themselves
ever since, so that for all practical purposes
there are three genealogies, and three only
still in their pristine vigor. Setting aside
exceptional animals from 1850, let us say,
to 1915, or thcreabout, the English race
horse was perhaps at his best The 2-year-
old races, though creeping in during the
latter half of this period, were not yet very
general; there were, consequently, fewer
wretches, and the good, swifter or not
swiftcr, were ola moro valuable sort and a
richer national possession. y The real
difference between the old set and the new
set of animals seems to be this: That whereas
the earlier runners thought nothing of con-
testing three four-mile races in a week, and
kept their power of doing this year after
year. the modern flyer who accomplishes
three miles once in his career and does not
break down until after he has ceased to DO

The Stone Are of Egypt.

Much interest has always been attached
by anthropolOgists to the stone age OF
Egypt on account of its bearing on the an.
tquity of man. Hitherto the finds of stone
implements have been purely superficial,
but in March last General Pitt Rivers
president of the Anthropological Institute
discovered worked fints two or three
meters deep in stratifed gravel and become
so induated in Egyptian times that they
were able to cut square-topped tombs sup.
ported by square pillows in it, and these
have remained in their original condition
to this day. Some of the implements were
chiselcd out of the gravel in the sides OF
these tombs.

And She WINS Happy.


An American wrote to London Truth:
AS your paper is a household word in
America, will you have the kindness to
notice the costume worn by Miss Bessie
Balch Mt the Queens Drawing-room Pa
dress of black satin, with ruchcs of lace
from the waist to bottom of shape en-
tdJlier with white satin wreathcd with
margucrities, bluettes and buttercups, with
tin y butterflies lowering here and there.
Court trains of black satin brocade, lined
with cardinal plush and bordcrcd with the
same combination of field howers-a combi-
nation which could only be arranged by
Worth's art-the regulation feathers and
veil fastened with diamonds completed this
most artistic toilet. F." And the editor did
notice it by publishing the letter in full,
and it is hoped that Miss Bessie was happy.
The MAN OF ANGLo-SAxON race seems
invariably ashamed to exhibit any senti-
mentality. He couples it Opprobriously
with the other obnoxious word "sickly,"
and thus stigmatized with contempt he
avoids all demonstration of it rs far as pos
sible. In common with the rest of human
ity he has, however, a small stock of this
feeling in his composition, and rs 1t will
clamor for expression, he is forced to give it
vent This wealth of heart that senti-
mental German lavishcs in cpithcts upon
his family, friends and all creation gem
orally, the true John Bull and stout Brother
Jonathan bestow in naming their horses
and their boats. Imagination and senti-
ment are lavished upon the nomenclature
of the race course and it fairly gushcs in
the names of the ships and water-craft.
Standish and Mayhower furnish present
instance of pair Of lovely names for a
pair of twins, with the sentiment favored
slightly with history. An odd example is
shown on the Hudson river, where the
town Of Milton has vessel named Mary
Powell that excels her original by leaving
every day.
