Persons who dislike snakes continually
ask, "What is the use of them?" They are
not without use, and in one habit that offend
ed Lord Bacon, namely, of going on their
belly" lies one of their greatest uses, because
that, together with their internal formation
and external covering, enables them to pene
trato where no larger carnivorous amin al
could venture, into dark and noisome moras-
ses, bog;jungles, swamps amid the tangled
vegetation of the tropics, where swarms of
the lesser reptiles, on which so many of them
feed, would otherwise out balance the har-
mony of nature, die, and produce pestilence
Wondrously and eXquisitely constructed
for their habitat, they are able to exist where
the higher animals could not and while they
help to clear those inaccessible places of the
lesser vermin, they themselves supply food for
number of the smaller mammala, which
with many carniyorous birds, devour vast
numbers Of young snakes. The hedgehog
weasel ichneumon, rat, badger, hog, goat
and an immense number of birds keep snakes
within due limits, while the latter perform
their part among the grain-devouring and
herbivorous lesser creatures. Thus beauti
fully is the balance of nature maintained.

WHY THE DAISIES ARE WHITE

WHY THE DAISIES ARE WHITE.
Once on time quarrel rose,
It's said, between impatient Spring
And that old gray-beard Winter, who
Yet longer to his throne would cling.
MY turn 1t is" quoth Mistress Spring,
ITO reign, and clothe the earth anew.
How long must all my beauties lie
Concealed for fear Of such as your"
Then to the Sunbeams coaxingly
She turned and said 40 you alone
| look for help earth's chains to loose,
And drive this loiterer from the throne"
SO, tempted by her smiling face,
The Sunbeams answered to her call,
And though old Winter battled well,
His kingdom soon began to fall.
But if you think" he coldly said,
"All trace of me to wipe away.
My memory still shall haunt and lie
Upon your meadows day by day.
And on that night q messenger
BY Winter sent to Daisyland,
Upon each daisy blossom laid
sheet of snow with lavish hand.
And Mistress Spring, when she beheld
The souvenir of Winters reign,
Smiled as she softly kissed her pets,
And foiled his purpose once again
For in the heart of each white flower
She laid a bit of golden sun,
And babe it nestle closely there
Until sweet daisy life was done.
And thus the fair field flower grew,
Springs golden sunshine, warm and bright,
At rest forever in its heart,
The while its leaves, like snow, are white.

Deadwood Times: Ordway does want
to be senator and. although he may not
legally be held criminally liable for such
ambition, he is morally unfit to hold any
office OF honor or trust within the gift OF
tae people. There is every opportunity
Tor him to make better record in the
future, as bis record in the past has been
go unsatisfactory as to bury him under
its enormities. It is true that others are
ambitious in the same direction, they
would be, il they could, senators, but
failing IN that, rather than miss office
they would accept the position OF consta.

clean character, whose records need
neither disinfection nor whitewashlng

said. he is not only dead in the south
but is furthermore a stencil in the nos

Farlaing Notes.

This do: When you have a good COW,
keep it; when You see good COW, buy
it; when you have poor COW sell it.
BIackberries should be set out very
early. Six feet apart each way is good
dists nee. Set stake six feet high tn
each. See that plants that are to bear
this year are well tied to their stakes.
New beds of raspberries should be
planted very early. If you have any
tender kinds that were covered last fall
they should be lifted mp and tied t.
stakes as soon as the weather is settled
Lettuce seeds should be sown under
glass or in window boxes, for a success
sion. AS soon az the soil is in good con-
dition, seeas may be sown in the open
ground, in rows fifteen inches apart. to
be thinned to ten inches. The Curled
Simpson, Tennis ball, and Hanson are
among the good kinds.
Fowls are sometimes subject to dis.
ease known as dropsy of the crop: the
the crop is filled with sour, foul liquid
which does not pass off. In such cases
it is simple cure to open the crop With
the point of a pair of sharp scissors,
making an opening an inch long and
pouring out the water; then wash out the
crop with little warm water, with some
carbonate of soda dissolved in it, Then
draw the edges of the wound together
by one stitch through the middle, with
the ends tied in bow knot or a slip
knot. Feed the hen very moderately
upon soft bread and milk, or bran and
meal mush; or give no food at all for
two days. The hen will soon be all right
again. The trouble is ceused by indi.
gestion from overlooking. and sometime
by catarrh of the stomach, Of which til
crop is part.

there are others who hold it open and
close it so slowly that numberless colds

THE HENRY v. KISS.
Failure of It in New York.

"A EallurG Oh Now AOAAs
From New York Letter.
John A. Stevens had announced play
new to New York, called PASSIONS
Slave," and the advertisement promised
with pictures and biz letters, that the
Henry V. Kiss" would be feature,
Ellie Wilton, pretty actress, who came
from San Francisco half dozen years
ago, and has since been employed most
of the time in our fashionable theaters,
was to receive the kiss, "by the kind
permission Of Lester Wallack." The
Windsor Tleater, where this was to oc-
cur, is sn enormous place in the lower
Bowery, with seating capacity of 5000
to 1000, and it was crowded. In one
box sat Mr.. Stevens divorced wife, Lotta
Church, who is Italian and reputedly
Jealous. In another box was Miss Will
tons affianced husband. BY my side
was a man whom / took, from his
conversation with his comparison, to be
an attache of the theater. Expectation
had been raised to great height-to the
level of the fourth tier ofthe gallery, in
fact, for when the boys up there saw
Stevens, as the sentimental hero, en-
brace Miss Wilton, they yelled their re-
cognition of the situation as they had
seen it in the pictures. Stevens went be-
hind the actress, threw his arms around
her, drew her up close, and, by placing
one hand under her chin, turned her
face into kissing distance, We had all
read how an actress had Quilted the COM
pany in the west because she thought
this kiss was an improper piece of stage
realism. Miss Wilton's actual sweet
heart, in the box, withdrew partially
behind the drapery, possibly to
hide his emotion, and leveled
his opera glass. The divorced Mrs.
Stevens leaned slightly forward and
opened her eyes wide. As for me,
took out my watch, resolved TO time the
kiss accurately and coolly, but all of us
were doomed to disappointment. just
as the lips oil the actor we're settling
down upon those of the actress she sud-
denly turned her mouth aside, and the
kiss struck her cheek with dispas-
sionate effect, The theater attache close
by me muttered something that had the
tone and manner of deep cursing, and
then he SAID: "She agreed to do it, but
you can't depend upon women" But
there we're two persons who were not
displeased, because she bolted the kiss
and it wasnot difficult to pick them out.
