Children PLAY With a Rattlesnake,

T. 2-year old child of Frank Smiths
and James Haney's 2-year old child
were playing together in Smiths front
yard few days since, in Eldred Town
ship, Pa. Mrs. Smith saw them sitting
in the grass. Her little child had stick
about foot long in its hand, with which
it was giving occasional blows on the
ground. After each stroke the child
rem would laugh heartily. Occasional
ly one would bend its face down and
stroke something with its hand. Then
the stick would be brought into use
again, and the convulsive mirth of the
children follow.
children's play for some time, Mrs.
Smith walked out to where they were
sitting. She was Mortified at seeing
that large rattlesnake was the child
ren's playtfing. The snake lay at full
length, making no move to molest the
children. Every time it was touched it
raised its head and run out its forked
tongue.
Mrs. Smith cautiously approached,
and at sight of her the attitude of the
snake changed. 1t threw itself into a
coil without which it cannot strike, and
sounded its rattle. Mrs. Smith sream-
ed to the children to come to her. The
sudden movement OF the snake had
frightened them, and they had run out
of its way.
Mrs. Smith killed the snake with a
stick. She then tainted away, and was
found unconscious in the yard by a
neighbor, the dead snake lying near,
and the two children crying over her.
The snake was over four feet long, and
had seven rattles.-New York Sun.

The Vassar Girls,

Prof. F. L. Ritter's genial face shone
with ruddy after dinner glow. 1t Isl
his task to guide the hands and voices
of the dear Vassar girls in music. His
eyes sparkled through pair OF Bra
lillian pebbles as the reporter approach
ed.
"How are all the girls, professor?"
''Oh, indeed, 1 can't say; they will
not arrive until the latter part of the
month" These words were spoken
with German accent just noticeable
enough to be charming. At the same
time he assumed a more dignihed air.
(Which class last year took the prize
for the best piesP"
II don't think they are instructed in
baking" said the doctor. earnestly,
''but they may take turns waiting at
the table, and'' (hesitatingly) Il be-
lieve they make up their own rooms. "
''Do they make good wives?"
'.Ah, my dear sir, / know not, but ]
suppose they do" said the professor,
seeming disposed to change the SUBJ
ject.
'sDo you never meet these girls in
after life when they are making shirts
and serving square meals?"
''Our girls are very studious, sir; they
have much spirit; they have to work.
and those who lag are not thought well
Of"
"But don't they get lonesome with
out the boys?"
Entertainments are given on occa-
sions during the year, at which invited
guests appear" said the professor in a
cold tone. ''Our girls are very intel
lectual."
Would any of them marry q poor
manp"
"Most of our students are young
women who wish to prepare themselves
to earn maintenance, but see no rea-
son why they might not marry man OF
meager income"
"Are they prettier than the majority
of the girls we meetP"
Now you who live in New York and
see so many ladies would be able to
judge" sighed the professor. 'sYes as
class they will take a high rank for
persevering, hard-working young ladies.
When they first come some seem sur
prised that. they cannot do as they
please. At the end of three months
they settle down and do splendid
work" FE
"Now, candidly, would they make as
good housewives as the German girls
| do?n
There was an evident mental strug-
gle before the answer came. "Why
not! 1t is my belief that education en-
ables a woman to do anything better
she can see quicker how and when tc
do anything. Housekeeping should be
easy to pick up, and | believe they
will do it better than many"
you think they could give the soup
a moro aesthetic favor?"
"They should do everything well. -
They have societies-more or less
in the nature of ordersP"
YES" #
Then they wouldn't object to thei1
husbands attending lodge?n
'.They debate with much keenness
and vigor of thought, l have heard, .
said the professor. evasively.
What are some of the topics of dis
putationp"
1.-THE Aims of Man. Is Chocolate
Injurious to Digestion?' and kindred
questions in mental science are among
those recollect"
At this point Prof. Ritter mopped hi:
brow and bowed with evident sense o
relief as the reporter departed.

Chances at Draw Poker.
Total number of possible hands. 2, sos, 800

Total number of possible hands. .2,59 $50
1t will be seen that those who devised
the rules for poker play set the differ
ent hands in very proper order 1t Is
fitting, for instance, that as there are
only 40 possible flush sequence hands,
out of q total number OF 2,59o, you
hands, while there are 624 -four
hands, the flush sequences should come
first, and so with the rest. 1t is note
worthy, however, that when sequences
were not counted, as was the rule IN
former times, there WAS one hand ab-
solutely unique and unconquerable:
The holder of four aces then wagered
on certainty, for no one else could
hold that hand. At present there is
no absolutely sure winning hand. The
holder of ace, king, queen, knave, ten,
flush, mag (though it is of course, ex-
ceedingly unlikely be met by the hold
er of the same cards, flush, in another
suit. Or when we remember that at
whist it has happened that the deal di-
vided the four suits among the four
PLAYERS, to each a complete suit, we
see that four PLAYERS at poker might
each receive flush sequence headed
by the ace. Thus the use of sequences
has saved poker-players from the pos
sibIe risk of having either to stand out
OF wager on a certainty, which last
would of course be very painful to the
feelings of professional gambler
