How to Kill q Rattlesnake.

A working party on a railroad here
is made up of mountaineers and Geor-
gians. One of the latter performed a
foolhardy feat the other day that made
the blood of the unaccustomed specta-
tors run cold. They were at work clean
ing away the thick underbrush in ad-
vance of the engineer, when some one
shouted. "'Ware of rattlesnakes!'' He
saw one of these reptiles about four feet
long and five or six inches in diameter
lying just ahead. The Georgian cut a
short stick with a forked end, and Creep
ing up to the snake he deftly pinned it
to the earth by pushing the forked end
on either side of his neck. Then, seiz-
ing the tail in his right hand, he ran his
left down the snakes body and grasp
ing it firmly just back of the head, he
held it up at arms length and called on
the others to ''look at the varnaint' $
mouth" 1t was anything but pleas
ant sight, and most of the spectators
were Mortified. After holding it a few
minutes for general inspection, he sud-
denly swung the snake over his head
with his right hand, letting 90 the hold
of the left, and dashed It with great
force against rock, killing it instantly.
1t was cool and dexterous feat, but
very trying to the lookers-on, who CEN
sured the man for his '.folly," at which
he seemed to be nightly amused.-
