snake skins for ladies' belts.
Almost every village in Sullivan and
Ulster counties is summer resort
for city people, and hundreds of New
York ladies spend the heated term there
One day last summer the wife of a we'll
known chemist of New York, who was
stopping In Sullivan County, attended a
picnic, and while walking with another
lady in the woods, was confronted by
an enormous rattlesnake, which Law di-
rectlY in front of her in the mountain
path. The lady who was with her
screamed and ran away, but the chemists
wife picked up a cudgel and killed the
snake. She brought it to the picnic
ground. 1t was four feet in length, and
had a splendid set of fourteen rattles.
The markings of a rattlesnaze are very
beautiful, but the skin of this one was
particularly perfect and brilliant in
color. The chemists wife caused a
shudder of horror to run through the
assemblage of her fair companions by
saying that if she could by any means
have the snakes skin prepared she
would wear it as a girdle. She con-
suited her husband. and he consented to
experiment with the skin. It was
removed from the snake the next
day and stretched on a board
The chemist treated it with some
preparation of arsenic and sweet oil.
The preparation was applied daily, and
in few days the skin was cured with
all its freshness, brilliance, and plia-
bility preserved. The rattles and head
were left on the skin The husband
took it to New York, where it was fitted
with a handsome silver clasp and his
wife appeared among the other guests
with girdle that $3.50 would not induce
her to part with. That set the fashion,
and there was at once a big demand for
rattlesnake skins among the ladies, nos
only in that particular place, but
at scores of other places, for the
news of Mrs. -'s girdle spread
rapidly from one resort to another
Dainty damsels, who a week
before would have tainted almost at the
mention Of rattlesnakes, suddenly be-
came deeply interested in the beauty
and dimentions-of the deadly reptile,
and lost no time in having its many
hued epidermis encircle their slender
waists. Rattlesnales quickly went up
in the market, until it was a very modest
mountaineer indeed who hadn't the
heart to ask five dollars for skin with
perfect rattles, a sound head, and clear

Fur-Lined and Fur-Trimmed Cloaks.

Fur-lined garments are made in many
shapes, such as the short visites, long
casaques, redingotes and the loose dol
man cloaks, and also in large circulars,
which remain the standard wraps for
carriage and general wear when warmth
and comfort are considered rather than
novelty. The preference in fur Innings
is for those of solid colors, such as the
brown-shaded mink Innings with tails
hanging at intervals. or a whole gray
lining made of the backs of Siberian
squirrels, or of the dOwny chinchilla
fleece, or perhaps it may be of the stylish
golden brown shades of the red fox
skins, or black Astrakhan may line a
mourning garment, while for evening
the royal ermine is used again; the
whole squirrel Innings with fine locks
on gray grounds) are nOwVery ineXpen-
sive, and are found in simple circulars
as low as thirty-6Ve dollars, and in silk
pelisses trimmed with fur at seventy-five
or eighty dollars, though in most in
stances the prices are greater than these
just quoted. For the handsomest silk
garment for the street, brecaded velvet
and brocaded satin or ottaman silk are
in unique designs of both large and
small figures, and similar fabrics appear
in cloaks with plush or quilted satin
Innings that have merely trimmings of
fur. For the carriage, for receptions,
and for evening wear there are visites
of magnificent gold brocades on grounds
of ottoman, or of plush upon plush in
the seal-skin brown shades; some of
these are scarcely larger than scaffs
that hang low in front and merely reach.
the waist behind; they are lined with
fur, and bordered richly to match. For
mourning are many camel s-hair cloth
and armure silk cloaks trimmed with
the fine Persian lamb-skin, and either
lined with it or with the whole gray
lining made of squirrel backs; black fox
borders are also on similar cloaks. The
high full effect on the shoulders is given
to new circulars by rows of shirring be-
tween the neck and shoulders. SiciI-
ienne, tremerlaine, messine, and other
repped silks and satin fabrics of various
names are used for circulars for general
wear. HaTper'S BGzar.

The Rattlesnake Industry.

For many years different persons liv-
ing in the mountains of Sullivan and
Ulster Counties have made very snug
sums every year in the sale of rattle
snake oil, which is believed to possess
wonderful curative powers by large
proportion of. the inhabitants of not only.
those, but of adjoining counties. Many
snakes are killed during the summer sea-
son, but the grand gathering of the crop
is in the fall, when they have returned
to their dens and wintering places.
These retreats are well known to the
snake hunters, and they choose sunny
days in October and November for raid
ing them. On such DAYS the reptiles
crawl out of their dens in the rocks and
huddle together by the score, different
varieties frequently being found massed
together. The snakes are dull and slug
gish at that time of the year and come
out TO baSk in the sun. The hunters
arm themselves with the oId-fashioned
fails, and when they come upon a pile
of the snakes proceed at once to thresh
the life cut of them. But few escape.
The rattlesnakes are assorted from the
other species and carried home, where
the oil is tried out as lard is from pork.
No treatment of the oil is necessary. 1t
IS bottled up and is ready for the
market. AS high as one dollar an ounce
has been paid for it by believers in its
value as a liniment for rheumatism and
all kindred ills. The snake hunters of
the Shawangunk mountains receive
many orders from the showmen for live
rattlesnakes, for which they receive
from fifty cents to two dollars each, ac-
cording to size and condition; but dur
ing the past summer an industry in
snakes sprung up which is entirely new
and novel and bids fair to become the
most profitable of any of the branches
Of the trade, for it has its foundation in
a new fashion in female adornment.
This industry is the supplying Of rattle

A University Romance.

In the great Swedish University at
Upsula lived a young student, fine
looking fellow possessing great aptitude
and love for learning, but without the
means of living while he wooed Dame
Science In other words he was poor,
and consequently had no influential
friends ready to assist him. Neverthe-
less he studied hard, keeping up a light
heart through all his difficulties, and try
ing not to look too keenly into the future,
which certainly did not offer him smil-
ing prospect. His gay humor and his
good qualities had always made him a
favOrite with his young companions.
One day he was talking and joking with
few of them in the great square of
Upsula. passing in this pleasant inter
course a part of an unexpected holiday,
when the attention of the group was at
tracted by young and graceful girl,
who by the side of an elderly lady was
walking across the square.
She was the daughter Of the Governor
of Upsula with her goYerness, and was
generally known as the pOssessor of a
kind and gentle disposition, which to-
gether with her beauty had long since
made her the object of especial mention
and admiration among the students. As
the young men stared at her passing
away like beautiful vision, one of them
cried out: by jovei kiss from such
mouth would be worth a month in
prison''
Our poor student, the hero of this
story, absorbed in the contemplation Of
this pure and angelic face, answered i'm
petuously, as if by inspiration; well!

Chickens for the Market.


Many farmers have an idea that a chick
en- must have large field to roam over
to do well, but this is mistake if tits
desired to fat them for the market. If
they are to be kept to furnish eggs when
old enough, if permitted to run at large
they will do quite as well, or perhaps
better, than If confined to a small en-
closure, because it is not desirable to
have laying hen very fat; but for mar
ket young fowl is rarely if ever too
fat.
By confin1ng flock of chickens to a
small enclosure they do not have an OPP
portunity to run off their fat as when
permitted to go as far as they please.
They soon get accustomed to their small
enclosure, and will remain quiet after
eating, so what they eat is not wasted
by constant exercise. 1t is true if chick
ems are to be confined to small yard
they should be faithfully attended to and
given all they want or they will not get
as fat as when they run at large.
They need great variety of food.
given in such quantities as will
keep their appetite good. The. secret of
success In feeding any animal is in Civ
ing them just enough to supply their
wants, and yet not enough to clog their
appetite. While corn may be the prin-
cipal food, because the cheapest, oats,
barley and shorts should be fed freely.
the latter in connection with boiled po-
tatoes or other vegetables. A small
ration of meat should be given each day,
and also some green vegetables, such as
cabbage, grass or turnip leaves.
During the last two weeks before kill
ing they should receive about ali they
will eat of corn and corn meal.
While it is important to know Just how
to feed to the best advantage, it is quite
as important to know how best to prepare
the chickens for market, and have them
look well. More than half the chickens
that are sent to market are sold from
one to two cents pound less because
they have been improperly dressed.
Many, to save time, dip them into boil
ing water, and thus greatly injure the
looks of the flesh by blistering it. Those
who best understand how TO dress q
chicken manage to get the feathers of
in very short time after the fowl is
killed. By so doing they do it much
easier than if not done until the fowl
begins to coOl.-MaSSGchaSetts Plough

four others. for by fortunate coincI-
denee several of the richest students
were of the party, and the betting soon
ran high on so improbable IN event
The challenge was proposed and ac-
cepted in less time than it takes to relate
it.
Our heTo, although not supremely
handsome, had received from his good
fairy the gift of most distinguished
appearance, and now approached the
young lady, saying, while he bowed
deeply; ''Mein Fraulein, my fortune is
in your hands" She looked at him
with establishment, but stopped He
then went ON to tell his name, his con-
dition, his ambition. and finally con-
fessed with the simplicity Of truth what
had passed between his companions and
himself.
The young lady listened attentively,
and when he had ceased speaking, she
said with great gentleness in the midst
of her bushes, IF bv so small favor
so much good can result. it would be
silly to refuse your request, and she
kissed the young man publicly in the
open square.
The next day the student was arrested
by order of the Governor He wished
to see the man who had induced his, the
Governors daughter, to kiss him in this
way, as we'll as the man whom she had
consented to kiss. He received him
with the sternness of an inquisitor, but
after an hours conversation he was SO
charmed with him that the student was
invited to take his meals at the castle as
long as he remained at Upsula.
Our young friend now continued his
studies with an ardor which soon caused
him to be regarded as one of the most
brilliant scholars of the university.
Scarcely three years had passed since
the day of the first kiss when the young
student was permitted to sue for sec
ond from the Governors daughter as
his betrothed.
He became one of the most famous
scientists of Sweden, as much esteemed
for his high integrity as for his learning.
His works will live eternally among the
most precious gifts of science, and from
his happy union sprang a family well
known in Sweden at present, whose
wealth and position in the highest cir
cles are justly considered secondary to
their mental and moral requirements

Training Of Children.

This subject is very generally neg
1ected. Men of thought and enterprise
bestow time ands inquiry on the body
training of their domestic animals and
on proper modes of feeding them, but
neglect their children as if they were not
worth attention, or would grow strong
and healthy without the same amount
of care and attention they give their
cattle. They make no inquiry into the
proper way of feeding, exercising and
clothing human beings. All this may
be the duty of the mother. But she
does not appreciate the importance of
body-training and the father is more in
terested in accommodating wealth than in
regular body-training of his offspring.
He conVinces himself that they will be
well developed and become robust and
healthy without his expanding upon
them any care or exertion. The father
does not seem to be aware that the first
requisite to success in life is to have a
well developed body, and that a well
developed body is the basis of ali happi-

A New Discovery.

One of the most valuable discoveries
recently made by practical men of sol
ence is a means of lighting up the hu-
man body with electricity in such man
ner that the physician or surgeon can
clearly see the field in which he is to
operate. The advantage of such a dis
covery cannot be overestimated, as il is
fact, admitted by the professional
gentlemen themselves, that they often
fail to relieve pain because of being com
PEELED to work in the dark; and when
treating an internal ailment they are as
likely to iniure as to benefit the patient
with experimental prescriptions. With
the new apparatus, however, there is no.
longer need to grope in the dark, and
troubles of the ear, nose, mouth, throat
and other organs can be so Illuminated
that the operator can clearly see the
minute parts. The adaptability of the
electric light that is of the incandescent
order is so apparent that it is matter
of surprise that man of medicine was
not the discoyerer of its valuable prop4
critics. The instrument when used upon
the human body may be inserted in
various ways. 1t contains at one end an
objective which forms an image of the
