Finding it was up hill work, he walked
to the other end of the bench and tried
to quiet his horses again by saying:
"Whoa boy, whoa, boyr' etc.
This task having been accomplished, he
turned to the crowd of spectators and
asked them to help him lift the car on
the track. When they failed to respond
he said: "You are the meanest set of
street-car passengers ever hauled"

To get snake Oh. Vi a bottle is tedi-
Gus job; in whatever position it is turned,
the head will be directed upward, SO
that the only way to induce him to come
out is to place the bottle upright or near
ly so; even then the head is withdrawn
on the slightest alarm and the position
is by no means favorable to its transfer
ence to box. If the door or opening
Of the latter will admit of it, the best
plan is to put the bottle uncorked into
the box and let the snake crawl out at
its leisure, first "chocking off, the bot
tie with a wedge of paper or wood, lest
it should roll over on the reptile, and
fastening string to it in order that it
may be removed without difficulty at the
earliest possible opportunity.
One of the most poisonous snakes l
ever possessed was brought to me in a
brandy-bottle, and after twisting. and

But the slide of my snake-box was shut

slip back in the bottle again. Having
set the box all in order for the new-cOm-

lay hold of him by the tail; but now
most provokingly, no amount OF maneu-
vering would bring that useful member
to the top. Another half hours unsuc-

into desperation, and at length, when l
saw the tail about two inches from the
mouth of the bottle, 1 stuck my forefin
ger in recklessly to try to secure it.
That was hopeless, as l might have
know; but it certainly did cool my spine
a little when discovered, on attempt
ing TO withdraw it, that my finger was
jamed! l pulled, wrenched, twisted it
with al my might, for the brute was
raising its head, and its Pickering
tongue was rapidly approaching the un-
happy digit that involuntarily corked up
its prison. l gave final tug, the vio-

He Had o Terrible Time.

A gentleman, possessing a rathe,
rough appearance. a native of Kansas
City, and who receives his letters and
bills addressed through the mails to one
Willem King, strolled into the Union
Depot last evening just drunk enough to
look tired and sleepy. He threw himself
upon one of the wooden benches in the
gentleman's waiting room and was soon
asleep and snoring. In a few minutes
passengers in the waiting-room at the
time were startled at the capers he be-
gan to cut. He was evidently chronic
somnambulist and imagined in his sleep
that he was driving a street car, and
endeavoring to manage a very wild
team of horses. He stood up on the
bench and yelled: Whoa! whoar' as
he leaned forward and held out his
hands, as though he were attempting to
obtain a tighter grip on the imaginary
lines he was holding. As soon as he was
satisfied that he had stopped the horses,
he jumped from the bench exclaiming:

SENDING A VALENTINE.

Though that Is not so very newt,
Or this the boys all think is good:
" If you love me as / love YOU"
But-SeemS to me-a valentine
Is nicer, when you do not say
The same old things that every one
Keeps saying, in the same old way
And asked Jane, the other night,
What grown-up people write about
She would not answer me Mt first,
But laughed till began t. pOut.
That stopped her, for she saw meant
The question land she will not tease).
Why-lOve," she said. land shining eyes,
A kiss. soft hair-just what they please
1t can't be hard, if that is all,
So I'll begin by saying this
j." To my dear lady beautiful,
send a valentine and kiss.
The valentine, because she has
The lOveliest hair and gentlest eyes;
The kiss, because love her more
Than any one beneath the skies.
Because she is the kindest, best
The sweetest lady ever known;
And every year I'll say the same
The very same, to her alOne!'
There! Now it's finished. Who will do?
I've thought of one and then another.
Who is there like it? Why, of course,
I'll send it right away to Mother!

A New Hampshire Amazon.

Living in a town in New Hampshire
is an Amazon, not in the sense of ap-
parent masculinity. but in actual
strength and agility. and her enterprise
is equal to her endurance. 1t was re-
ported in the papers of the county that
she picked and marketed four hundred
qnarts of blueberries the last season.
She assured the writer that the.quantity
was much larger than was reported.
These berries she carried on foot two
miles to the village, and peddled them
out to the residents. Recently she
wheeled wheelbarrow two and one
half miles over rough and billy road,
and returned with it, trundling home
two good-sized pigs. She performed q
feat, few weeks since, that few men
would care to undertake, yet she accom-
plished it without ado or difficulty.
Having purchased at the village an out
side dwelling-house door, one and one
half inches thick, she placed it ON her
back and carried it in that manner to
her home, distance of two long miles.
Yet she is slender in form, and agile and
walking in the street engaged in knit
ting, her fingers and feet moving as if in
vigorous competition with each other.
When not encountered, in passing to
and from the village, she frequently
strikes into run, sometimes maintain
ing it up the steepest hills and for most
of the distance. Occasionally she essays
journeys of ten or fifteen miles on foot
into the neighbOring towns, if not at
corresponding speed, vet at one surpris-
ing to people with ordinary powers of
lOcomotion. Matched with a husband of
equal energy, she would be surrounded
with comfort and abundance. Boston

Mother ShiptOn's Successor.

No sooner is Mrs. Shipton, with her
fatal year, laid away to rest than another
prophecies arises in the American Israel,
who foretells that at the close of the year
1882 the millennium is to be ushered in
and Satan be caught blythe heels. The
new, soothsayer is the estimable Mrs.
Elizabeth Gould, of Brooklyn, who is
now lettering on the verge of eighty
years, and to whose words that respect
is due, which, in spite of ourselves, we
instinctively pay to old age. According
to Mrs. Gould the following things will
come to pass within the 200 years which
are to begin at the close of the present
year of grace.
All distinctively American humorists
are to receive appointments as foreign
consuls, which they shall hold until they
die. Poets shall be made ministers to
foreign courts and there abstain from
their usual work.
When a person wants pin or ten
dollar note it shall appear at once to him
floating in the air.
Nobody who hires man to work for
two dollars a week shall expect from
him work worth ten dollars for the same
period.
Nobody shall expect anybody else to
keep his promise, but each person shall
be 'shimself by himself alone, one ever
lastingly and single"
People shall not quarrel or bicker about
questions of art or politics, but all shall
mind their own business from the least
even unto the greatest. In fact, there
shall be no art or politics, the same being
inevitably connected with the foolish re-
lations of world gone by.
Nobody shall ask another about any
matter which that other wishes to con-
ceal, and as the reverse side of this no
body shall have any private affairs. and
| we shall all know as we are known.
Newspapers shall cease to blackguard
each other about facts of editors lives in
which the public has no legitimate in
terest. No newspaper writer's who have
souls above buttons shall describe society
life.
Correct taste shall take the place of
current popularity and availability, and
a cabbage which can be boiled and eaten
shall by universal acclaim be looked upon
as better than dish of lilies set before
starving perple. In the quest for excite
ment the public sh all not make an eyre
gious ass of itself.
Poets who have nothing to say shall
cease saying it, and in the cessation of
their clamor the world, ever avid of poetry,
shall have opportunity to listen to rhym-
sters who have really said something,
and thus people shall be informed and
inwardly built up into the stature Of
thinking and feeling beings.
Nobody shall under any pretext find
fault with anybody, since finding fault is
but the expression of an odious individ-
uality and selishness.
Nobody shall prophesy about the
weather or the end of the world. Like
wise there shall be no new theories in re-
gard to the aurora borealis or the nature
Of comets.-N Y. Graphic.

Winter Life in Holland.

In Holland the fun of winter life takes
many forms; and winter facilitates loco
motion. as the highways of summer
available for trek-schuits become the best
thoroughfares for those who skate. In
tbs way, directly the ice bears, visits
are made and distances travelled which
CT, anot be done in summer; and, instead
OF going round and round as we do here
on a small confined space, the Dutch
make up party and pay visit to some
nei@hboring town or village. A bright
winter morning is always exhilarating,
especially to those whose red particles
are doing their work satisfactorily; how
much more so when cheerful company,
free exercise, variety of character and
constant change of scene all tend to mark
the day as red-letter one; and to crown
all comes the pleasant sensation of feel
ING deservedly tired, with a nights rest
well earned. Should the frost be suffi-
GENTLY severe, a river is most interest
ing. being on large scale and partak-
ing more of the character of a fair. which
is the case. for instance, on the Mas. ut
Rotterdam. This is very well pictured
in some of the old Dutch engravings;
one particularly gives an admirable idea
of the whole thing. showing sledges, ice
boats, stalls, booths. Now, the freezing
of the Mas is most uncertain; while
other waters are frozen hard, the Rotter-
damers still remain land-bound. The
Mas runs very strongly, and the diff
Guilty Is for the first coating of ice to
form. When severe frost catches the
still water during the night, then ''once
begun, soon DONE and the crews, who
turn their berths at night, wake up in
the morning to find themselves frozen
in. The canals naturally soon freeze
over, and the trek-schuit traffic is sup
planted by baggage-sledges, large and
small. Near dwelling-houses are seen
the little box-sledges for the children.
These are precisely the same as the sew
enteenth century contrivances; the child
sits with Just room for its feet, and, with
stick in each hand, pushes astern and
propels itself ahead. The adult sledges
are in some cases simply gorgeous, as
the opportunity affords great latitude for
form, great scope for variety of gear,
harness and trappings. They are gen
orally rather of the swan outline, the
s'Sleighers" sitting in the body, the
driver perched at the back, as on the
tail, the sweeping-irons following the
curve of the swans neck; over these
run the reins. One horse generally con-
stitutes the team, but in an old engrav-
ing three horses in single file are shown
drawing sledge de lure.-Good Words
