A Snake-Story.

i Do you want to hear a real snake.
storyp ! saw this myself, and did not
read it IN the newspapers. ,ss
] A large waterzsnake was coiled up,
half in, half out of the water, watching
the fish darling about and around it Il
was a large striped snake called q
water moccasin. This kind of snake
sometimes strikes its fangs into dogs that
attack it. 9i =
1 once had little terrier, which used
to fly at snakes of every kind with fury,
and shake them to pieces But ono
day shel came home with her head
swollen as large as, two heads. She
dropped and died after few days Of
sickness. Ss5g syas saa8s5
But | am forgetting my story. Whils
the fish were playing around their dan
gerous foe. all at once the poisonous
fangs were darted out, and large cat
fish was stopped in its sport. The snake
had him fast, and stetched itself out to
swallow its prey. He was, however. too
greedy. for he began to swallow the
head of the fish whilst it was still fut-
tering. and not quite dead. One Of the
strong, sharp fins pierced like needle
through the neck of the reptile, and he
could not get the fish an inch further
down his throat There they lay when
! found them, stretched out on the sand
among the rashes by the swamp, both
quite dead. The greater part Of the fish
was out OF the snakes mouth, but tho
head was inside, and one fin sticking
through the scaly neck Of the water.

ConsumptiOns.

consumption usually begins with a
Slight, dry cough in the morning, then.
on going to bed, getting more and more
frequent, with more and more phlecm.
increasing debility, thinness of flesh.
shortness OF breath and quickening pulse
IN fatal cases its average course is about
TWO years. hence the Importance of ar
resting the disease at as early stage rs
possible, and the sooner rational means
are employed for this purpose, tile
greater the chances of success.
The disease is owing to an irritation
commencing in the throat and extending
70 the lungs, so that their action is inter.
tered with, and the blood does not re.
celve sufficient oxygen to purify it. The
nrst thing to be done, is to remove the
obstruction which is the irritation or con
gestlon of the lungs. Four ounces Of
Siyeerine, two ounces of alcohol, two
ounces OF water and one grain of NOR
phine make an excellent mixture for
renewing the cough. 1t should be taken
IN doses OF two teaspoonfu1s every two
hours until the cough is relieved. The
chest, just below the neck should he
rubbed with tartar-emetic ointment eyerv
morning overa space as large as the
hand, until q thick crop Of sores is
brought out; then rub the ointment be.
tween the sores to bring out a new crop.
meantime the patient should take reor-
Ia, Lar and vigorous exercise in the open air.
ihere is nothing that equals horseback
RIDING as remedy for this disease.
II consumptive were ito live In the
saddle" and sleep out of doors, taking
care 70 keep the feet dry and warm, and
70 live upon good, nourishing food, in
short, to trough it, he would recover
his health in a few months, even if the
tIn dlsease had made considerable progress.
The troubleis that it requires a strono
VIII to carry out SO severe course, in
spite OF the languor and debility which
qlsposes m an invalid to quiet dependency.

cation OF returning health is increase in

William Simms, Secretary of the
Kansas State Board Of Agriculture, has
issued the following circular to farmers,
and the suggestions contained therein
are applicable to the farmers all over the
country: From information receiyedI /
am satisfied that hogs viii feed upon the
young and tender plants from cookie
burrs, and that such plants are very in
furious to stock, resulting in death to
hogs in numerous instances. I call the
attention of farmers all over the country
to this subject for the purpose of prompt
ing investigation, and earnestly request
those who have suffered loss from this
cause, or discovered any unhealthy con-
dition among their stock, to observe
closely and report to this office the result
OF such observation, together with such
remedies, if any, as have been produc.
tive OF satisfactory results.
1t is highly important to keep the foil.
age of the plants clean, not alone for their
beauty but their health's sake. Wash the
leaves inside as well as outside as often
as they are dusty. A soft sponge and
tepid water are the best for this purpose.
To polish ivy leaves or those Of palms
and rubber trees, use soft tissue paper.
1t will make them like satin. Every day
pick off any dead leaves or twigs, as
those interfere with the strength of those
alive. Blossoms should not be left on |
too long, they prevent others from form
ing in perfection. Never permit bloom
to wither on the stem. Newspapers may
be pinned about plants when rooms are
swept to protect them from the DUST
