was as follows. plates being changed

snake-ike pieces. The Italians ate it,
lifting up spoonful, catching it with
their lips. and chewing 1t as they sucked
it into their mouths, the ends hanging

officer took several spoonfuls, and the
whole looked like a pile of white fish

THE BIG FOUR.

They are represented by more people,
have more subjects, call ofteher, stay
longer, and yet are the most unwel-
come guests you can have on your list
of visitors.
The first of this precious quartette of
unwelcome guests gives you an ex-
cruciating headache even to think of
him.
The second takes away your appe-
tite, debilitates your system, gives you
a sallow complexion, and makes you
truly miserable generally.
The third bestows upon you legacy
Of skin eruptions, and disordered secre-
tions, constipation and other irregu-
larities too numerous to mention.
The fourth takes forcible possession
of your peace of mind and health of
body, and makes you a perfect martyr
to his tyrannical unjust government
He caps the climax, and what little the
others have left he robs you of, you
cannot eat without fear and trembling,
aud sleep becomes stranger to your
eyes.
The Stomach, the Blood, the Liver,
and the Kidneys constitute
The Big Four.
They are good servants, but bad enc
mics; for when they rebel against the
system, either individually or collective
", protecting safeguard must be
found: this can be done by BURDOCK
BLOOD BITTERS, a certain antidote
for the attacks of the BIG FOUR in
any shape and form.

The Sturgis, Michigan Democrat
states that Levi S. Sanders, farmer in
Indiana, near the Orange and Law
renee county line, attracted to his
dog by his unusual actions and be
meanings, found him confronting a
monster snake nine feet seven and a
quarter inches in length, and eight and
three quarter inches in circumference.
The combat was fierce. and, after a
struggle of nearly an hour, the snake
cooked up its head, and with a lurid
glare of eyes peculiar only to snakes,
made last desperate leap for the ca
nine, and quick as a flash coiled itself
around the dogs neck. He would have
been choked to death in a moment but
for neighboring dog which came to
the rescue, and seized the snake by the
head in the twinkling Of an eye. The
massive reptile rolled from the dogs
neck, the snake was killed, thus saving
the life of one of the most faithful
watch dogs in the valley.

100 Europeans, many of them wounded, who
had gathered on the bank. They had main
tanned themselves throughout the night, and
towards daylight their assistants drew off.
They reported that Arab Pashs, before be left

c0nvicts, joined by the lower classes and some
Bedouins, proceeded to sack the city and kill
every christian they could find, setting the
European quarter on fire. From the part
they were defending the Europeans could hoar
shrieks and cries and reports ofpistols and
guns. Scores Of fugitives were cot down or
beaten TO death in their sight Later the BrI.
