conferences among our physicians, of
which we made mention short time
since, the directors of the Mary Fletch-
er Hospital have organized in connec-

nurses, with the above title, thus adding
one more to the institutions of Vermont
Of an educational and charitable charac-

In q Boa. Constructors Coils.

Old Eph Sewell, who as o snake
charmer used to be one Of the attrao-
tons Of Barnum's museum, related to
New York reporter the incidents of q
famous fight he once had with q boa.
constructor. Eph had charge OF cage
OF reptiles, and used to 20 in the cage
and lie down with the snakes. He said:
On one occasion introduced myself
to the largest boa constructor ever
brought to this country. He was eigh-
teen feet in length, and weighed over
three hundred pounds. He had been
in the country two weeks. and Barnnm
was obliged to pay good price for him.
When l went into the cage saw that
he had become monarch OF the concern.
The remaining snakes were as submits
sive as mice. and when they crawled
over to greet me his lordship looked
wicked.
I caught him in my arms, and he
reared his head until it rested upon my
lefkshoulder. Lifting him as much
as possible, l passed him around my
hody, and he apparently imagined that
be was embracing tree in bis native
jungle.
He frightened his coil, and feeling
like was being slowly suffocated came
over me. Quicker than q flash ! cansLs
him back of his head, and by desper-
ate effort wrenched myself free.
Then we both got angry. The boa
came toward me and caught him by
the throat. / was strong enough to
hold him at arms length despite his
struggles, and in few moments he
gave up the fight and relaxed his coils.
Then ] shook him until he was thor
oughly alarmed. and ever afterward he
was submissive. Had l permitted his
coils TO close about me- TO earthly
agency could have saved me.

American Newspapers I'm 1882.

The American Newspaper Directory,
which will be issued next month by
Geo. p. Rowell Il Co., of New York,
will contain the names of 1851 peri
odicals in the United States and Terri
tories, which is a gain of 344 in the
year just passed. The number of daily
papers has increased In a somew hat
larger proportion, and is now repre-
sented by a total of 996 against 92i in
1881. The largest increase has been in
New York-l0 dailies, 29 of all sorts.
Illinois and Missouri chow a per centage
Of gain which is even greater, while
Colorado leads all others in the percent
age of increase, both of daily and
weekly issues. California, Nebraska,
Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Vermont and West Virginia
have fallen behind 1881 In the total
number of periodicals issued. In
Georgia, Maine and Massachusetts the
suspensions have exactly counterbal-
aneed the new ventures. In every
state not mentioned above, and in the
Territories, there has been an increase.

Prof Atwater of the Agriculture
college of Connecticut has deduced
from the various analyses and inves.
legations of chemists table illustrating
the comparative nutritive value of vari.
GUS species of fish, flesh and fowl.
Some of its conclusions will surprise
many persons, inasmuch as they are
directly contrary TO generally received
notions Oh the subject. AS basis the
Professor takes medium beef-neitLer
fat or lcan-as having q nutritive value
OF 100. lie puts fat pork at llG, smok-
ed beef at LAG, smoked ham at l57,
ordinary beef at 91.3, mutton at sc. 6,
butter at l24.1, cheese, from skinned
milk, ut 1853, hens eggs at 1872. In
fresh fish the highest place is given to
salmon, 1879, Spanish mackerel are
estimated at 1869, boned cod at LOG
(above all fresh fish, save salmon), can
ned salmon at 10Y, and salt mackerel at
I'LL. Oysters, supposed by many to
be so nutritious, at 81 g, and Holsters at
50.3. A very satisfactory point In this
estimate is that what is cheapest Is the
most nourishing. The exceptional nu.
tf1tive character of smoked and dried
preparations is due to the evaporation of
moisture and compression of tissue.
The enormous amount of nutriment in
cheese explains the vast consumption of
American cheese in England, where
one sees laborers eating 1t freely.

Death of the Poet LOngfeIlOM.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the
most popular and best loved poet of
America, and one of our foremost lit
erary men, passed away last Friday
afternoon, at his home in Cambridge,
Mass. Long felOw was born in Port
land. Ne, In 1907. His father, Hon.
Stephen LoDgfelIow, was q leading
lawyer in Maine. Young Longfellow
received his preparatory education in
his native city, and entered Bowdoin
college at the early age of fourteen, in a
class which mum bered among its MEM
bers John S, G. Abbott, the historian I;
Jonathan Cilley, afterward q prominent
politician and congressman; Geo. Il.
Cheever, the noted abolitionist, and the
world-famed Nathaniel Hawthorne.
While in college, some verses from his
pen occasionally found their way into
print, and he was considered poet of
much promise. He graduated second
Ia standing in class of thirty-seven.
After graduating lie began the study OF
law, but in short time more congo
NAL field opened to him, through his
appointment to professorship of mod.
ern languages in his Alma Mater. He
spent nearly four years abroad studying
oSioiO upOh thC dutiCo vi tnC
position. In 1881 he was married to
Mary S. Potter, daughter of Judge
Barrett Potter OF Portland. who died
suddenly in the fall of 1885 at Rotor
dam, while Mr.. Longfellow was abroad
studying the languages of Northern
Europe preparatory to entering upon
the duties of the professorship of mod
ern languages in Harvard University,
to which he was appointed in 1885, and
from which he resigned in 1854, in
order to give himself wholly to literary
work. In 1913 he was married to
Frances Elizabeth Appleton, daughter
of Hon. Nathan Appleton of Boston,
whose tragic death bv her clothes
catching fire while amusing two of her
children one evening, occurred in 1861.
She was the mother of five children,
who survive Mr.. Longfellow. Of Mr..
LOngfellow's literary career it Is hardly
necessary to speak in short and i'm.
perfect sketch. His works are Oh every
table in the land, and are quoted all
over the civilized world. While his
genius was not of the very highest
order, there is something about his
WHICH mas given MIN hold upon the
affections OF the American people suca
as no other poet of the century has
won. His historic and beautiful home
In Cambridge has long been a recog-
nlzed Mecca of all lovers of literature.
