The fat woman, too, puts in her claim for q

man nearly seven feet in height, whose neck
does not seem thick enough to support his

drown tho whistle of the locomotives that

for this mans wife, weighing nearly 200

A brass band is now playing on the green,
while pig race has just come of. The pig
was turned loose, and twenty or thirty men
and boys competed with each other to catch
him. For quite while it was very difficult to
tell which pig would beat, but eventually a
colored fellow was the winner, and had, as
his reward pasteboard crown placed on his
head labeled champion pig catcher" So
when people are disposed and have the
capacity to enjoy they can make and find
amusement in some way. Beside there is a
bowling alley and billiard room, where those
who like these games can indulge to their
hearts content And as there is no bar, and
no liquor of any kind sold about the promises
ii is, take it for all in all, rather pleasant
place to stop. C. PEARSON, M. ID.

Tho board of directors of the Belt line met
last night and agreed to advance the pay Of
the drivers to eleven cents an hour. This is
a little increase over the price asked for by
those drivers on the line who struck. The
men on the other portion of the line asked
for nothing, but their increase will be in the
same proportion. The directors also increased
the pay of the stable men, and In fact all the

of each egg. During this time the
snake seems TO be much less irritable
than usual. The moment an egg has
been laid the active young snake in it
stretches itself and forces itself through
the thin eggshell. A small yolk.bag
still adheres to the body, which is,
however, soon ruptured by the craw-
ling OF the young snake, which from
the very moment Of seeing light is per.
fectly able and willing to take care Of
itself. There seems to be no love lost
between parent and young. The size
of the young snake is about twenty
seven centimetres. Head, scales, teeth
and fngs are fully developed, but no
rattle the skin, which is shed a few
hours after birth, is very thin and trans
parent, and il seems that the first action
Of their existence is TO undergo 4
moult. DIR. Kinner, of St. Louis, in
killing a rattlesnake full of eggs, which
were nearly mature, opened one Of
them and found quite lively young
snake in il. Killing it he ran a needle
in the poison gland, and with il he
pricked 4 young sparrow; the bird
showed symptoms ofthe poison at once,
proving that these young snakes were
already able to poison their prey. The
Indians possess several remedies against
the bite of the rattlesnake, but it is
more than doubtful whether the plants
used serve any other purpose than
modera,ing the local Inflammation.
"Therc seems TO be a special and
peculiar enmity existing between the
rattlesnake and copperhead and the
blacksnake and kingsnake, these two
latter species waging a constant war
fare against the former, and invariably
conquering. After the connic, the van
quished is eaten by the victors. In
one case large blacksnake had seized
diamond rat,lesnakc and en,wined
two or more folds behind his head, and
several six or eight inches farther back,
then by muscular effort had torn the
body. II is a well known fac, that
both rattlesnakes and copperheads will
endeavor to get away from the king
snake, and in the South this beautiful
and harmless species is protected in
view OF this fact"

And forth 10 the ighi have gone

The past and the future are nothing.
In the place OF the stern To-day.
Rise from your dreams q the Future

OF storming some airy fortress,
or bidding some gian, yield;
Your future has deeds Of glory,

But your arms will never be stronger
Or the need 90 great as to-day.
Rise, IL the past dsiain you,

No chains 90 unworthy 10 hold you
A. those % a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever,
Cast her phantom arms away.
Nor look back, save TO learn the Lesson,
of nobler strife today.

the news like wild.hre that Ware X Co.

the house, where he had ever been a
welcome guest. He found the laugh
ing girl whom he had known, graver
and perhaps 4 little haughtier than Of
old woman whom the first breath of
misfortune had not blasted to despond-
cncy or languor, but rather had strength
ened and invigora,ed.
She listened, silently. while he told
her the story which had lain so long in
his heart unsaid. And, when he had
spoken. she gave him frankly the love
which till then womanly pride had
vciled.
He brought her TO home which.
