Snake Stories.

Whisky and ammonia failed TO save
the life of William Reynolds, Of Oneida,
who was bitten by rattlesnake.
Joreph Graf, living In the suburbs
OF s. Louis, says he recently killed q
black snake twelve feet long, with
head as large as q mans FIST.
In six hours after Charles White. Of
Eureka Springs, was bitten on the
finger by cotton motith snake he died
in agony. He was slow In applying
remedies for the bite, not thinking il
dangerous, otherwise he might have
saved his life.
While two children we're riding near
Brooksville, Fla, they saw little rat
tlesnake coiled up near them. They
stopped to watch it, and suddenly a
large gopher snake ran out of the bushes,
and catching the rattler squeezed it to
death and then swallowed IL.
Two Georgia young women we're Sud
denly confronted in the road by big
rattlesnake. Each armed herself with
with piece of fence rail, and the snake
finding itself overmatohed attempted to
crawl away, but the girls followed it
into the woods and killed it. 1t was Ave

ference.
Joe Ludlam, an inmate of the San
Antonia poorhouse, was bitten on the
fore6nger of the left hand by rattle
snake. The keepers wife, Mrs. Swing
ton, split the fnges on both sides with
razor, poured powder into the wound,
and set fire to it. She then got the
man helplessly drunk On whisky and
ammonia. He survived.
An immense water noccasin was
killed recently near Albany, Ga, having
in his mouth catfish eight inches long
The snske had seized the fish by its
head, unfortunately for him. There are
two big fins on the head of a catfish,
and this fish stuck these fins into each
jaw of the serpent, which was thus rem.
dered powerless to either swallow or
rellnquish its prey.
Two racers five feet in length attacked
Mrs. Camden, of Lexington, Va,
while on her way to spring! One fas-
tened itself around her ankle the other
endeavored to reach her neck. She
fought them off with bucket. Her
cries brought her son to her aid One
OF the snakes then attacked the young
man, but he speedily killed it with bis
hoe and then went to the relief OF his
mother and killed the other snake also.
A Georgia paper says that Sanders
Hyatt, of Covington, some years ago,
shot the head off of rattlesr AXE which
was coiled ready to spring. Noticing
that the snake looked uncommonly
large, Hyatt cut it open with his knife,
and fox squirrel jumped out and ran
up tree, where he shot it. His dog
had chased the squirrel, which, running
close to the snake. had been snapped
up just before Hyatt arrived on the
scene.

M. Grehaut has made series of ex-
periments which convince him that
death is caused by alcohol when the
proportion of absolute alcohol in the
blood is equal to the hundredth part OF
the latter; that the condition known as
dead drunk" exists when the alcohol
imbibed ceases to be absorbed and the
blood presents the proportion of one
part of alcohol to 1876 of blood-more
than one-hslf the fatal quantity. The
observer thinks that if fewer deaths
occur from drunkenness than might be
expected it is because drunkards stop
drinking before the fatal proportion of
alcohol in the blood has been reached.

The wintering of the crew of the
Rogers expedition, sent out in search of
the Jenneatte, was not without its tragic
episode. Master @. F. Putnam, who
had been left in charge of the supply

main party as soon as he received It'd

ried ou, TO sea or an ice foe. His COM
panions cNught glimpse of him seven
miles from shore, but were unable to
rescue him. This melancholy incident
recalls the fats of Joseph Rene Bellot,
gallant officer of the French navy,
who, after winning the cross of the
Legion of Honor while he was
only nineteen, volunteered to accom-
pany one of the Arctic expeditions sent
out by Lady franklin, and discovered
the singular strait which bears his
name. Returning to Barrow Strait
with Captain Inglefeld in 1853, he per-
ished while making sledge journey
over the ice, being separated from his
companions, caught by violent gust OF
wind and driven into deep gulf OF
open water. Putnam. like Bellot, was
a singularly brave and unselfsh officer,
and possessed scientific talents of high
order.

The decrease in the number of sheep
in Great Britain and Ireland in the thir-
teen Years from 1868 to 1881 Amounted
to 7,712000. The loss in England was
5,54S 900, or 233 per cent; the decrease
for Wales was 201. 900 sheep, or u per
cent; for Scotland, 3S1, 200, or 595
per cent; for Great Britain the reduc-
tion was 6,130,0O0. or 32b per cent !;
for Ireland, l 564 600, or 32A per cent,
showing for the United Kingdom loss
OF 7712, 900 sheep, or 81 65 per cent.
This great difference is startling when
we find from the agricultural returns in
1868 and 1881 that the loss of sheep
has not been compensated for by any
material addition to the number OF cat
tie, or by profitable exchange of
breeding and grazing for the cultivation
of grain.
