CINCINNATI comes to the front with the only
human geological garden of living wonders now
upon the globe. Mr. Jacob Becker blushingly
acknowledges that seventeen years ago
he tearfully left the fatherland, but
not until he had gone out in
the wOods-pasture and imbibed a snake. With
this modest stock in trade he sought a fortune
across the wide ocean, and struck it In Cincin
natl. OF course, all these years that snake had
nestled quietly aud sereney near his heart. But
when Theodore Thomas let loose his musicians,
three years ago, 1t was too much for the snake
1t was so terrified that it tried to fee to tine
mountains, much to Jacobs discomfort and dis
may. Jacob consulted doctor or two who pre-
scribed for bad liver, heart that wouldn't
work we'll on account OF WORKOUT sucker"
or something else. But it did good, OF course
Another physician was called, and he said,
"snakes." on general principles. Well, he went
to work on the man, and the results may be re-
garded reasonably encouraging. The first
returns showed several sections of tape-worm.
These were followed by lizard, yellow and
alive. But on Sunday the original Dutch snake
was reached, ana It. too, was alive. Since then
no list of the reptiles has been furnished the
press. 1t is thought, however, that the patient
will feel better over what has been done. Gin

Mrs. Jingleback felt little i'll, and
her husband told her to go lie down and
that no would wash tho dinner dishes.
She lay down on the lounge and in u
few minutes was enjoying soothing

In an hour or so she felt better and
then arose and proceeded to the dining
room.
Mr.. Jingleback was sitting with his
feet on the table, and was fast asleep.
The dinner dishes were just as she
had left them, aud she set about wash

Pugs Stuffed BY Baltimore Girls

The Baltimore girls are an indenen-
dent species, who will not submit to be
hampered, even by fashion, too mnch
If they must wear a dog as they do a
bouquet, they will not consent to allow
Dame Fashion to dictate the shane or
size. or style of the dog to be worn,
Hence it is that close observer in the
park on fair afternoon will see that
every lady who makes a pretense to
style wears different make of dou--a
dog with some feature or characteristic
different from any other canine on the
drive. This variety is easily secured,
We are about TO give a local secret
away, because as journalists, it is our
duty to tell the truth, and to furnish
information upon all subjects. The Sc
cret of this admirable variety is that
every lady makes her own dog. She
decides for herself the style of dog she
will affect. She then buys the shaded
plush, cloth, satin. linen, or fur that her
nimble fingers can manipulate into the
shape she wants, and then she cuts out
her canine pet, stuffs it with raw cotton,
sews on the tail and ears, fits couple
of glass marbles for eyes, and there She
has dog which she can hold in the
most graceful attitude, suited precisely
in size and shape to her favorite breed,
and in color harmonizing beautifully
with her complexion and dress. Some
ultra fashionable families have q number
of these pudding pugs and poodles
made up and constantly on hand TO
match their various costumes. -Bagtt.

Concerning Ticks,

They usually have eight legs, termi-
mated by claws adapted for holding on,
and their mouth parts are constructed
for the copious sucking of blood. In
their early life, the ticks live upon
plants, but when occasion offers, they
attach themselves to vertebrate animals
of all kinds, man included. The females
are covered by skin capable of great
extension, and when one OF them can
attach itself to an animal, it at once be-
gins to suck blood. and grows to many
times its original size. Cattle, horses,
sheep, dogs, and other quadrupeds are
attacked by them, as are bats and sew
eral birds. Hunters and others, who
are much in the woods, are sometimes
annoyed by them. Ticks are abundant
in some parts of the far West and
Southwest, and attack not only cattle
and their drivers, but deer and other
wild animals. Ticks cause great an
noyance to cattlo, but they soon get so
large, that they arc readily seen and
may easily be removed. When they
attack the traveller, the itching they
cause is so intense that the cause is
soon sought and removed. If neglected,
they have sometimes caused serious
tumors, which had to be opened and
the annoying creature extracted

The Old Time Doctor.

The old doctor who years ago was
such great man in Arkansaw has re
tired from practice. His old saddle
bags hang on the quilting frames un-
der the shed, and his grandchildren
peel apples with his surgical instru-
ments The bones of his old horse have
been used us a fertilizer by some pro-
gressive Yankee. There was day,
though, when the old man, now so gray
and feeble, was strong. almost as strong
as the medicines he carried. His word
was law in numerous households. Qui-
nine and calomel were the only medi-
cincs for which he had any respect
When these medicines failed, it was
thought time for the patient to call on
a higher power for naturalization pa
pers in another hemisphere. The Ian
Get was great factor. If man was
slightly i'll, bleed him. If he was very
ill, bleed him. If he was dead. wait
awhile. Bleeding was Il mania among
the doctors. 1t ragged like an epidemic.
If man had too much blood they would
bleed him, and they would bleed him
it he didn't have enough. If a man had
his left arm torn of, the next thing
was ''souce' a knife in his right arm.
II did not seem to enter the minds OF
these 'old timers" that man needed
blood. With them, flesh might enter
the kindom of Esculapius, but blood
was excluded.
On one occasion young doctor sug-
gested to several physicians with whom
he was holding q consultation that it
would no doubt be better not to bleed
the patient any more. The old physi-
clans looked at the young fellow in
breath to exclaim:
"What?''
81 say that 1 don't think that it will
be good idea to bleed him any more
at present"
The old physicians looked at each
other and sorrowfplly shook their heads.
Upon what do you base this wild
assertion, sirP"
81 base 1t upon common sense. The
patient was suffering in the first place
from q loss of blood, then we bled him,
and now l say, that it would be better
to wait until he is able to stand another
drain upon his system"
lies hopelessly insane" " said one OF
the doctors.
II don't know that his ease is hope
less," one ofstho party replied, "but ii
soon will be unless Immediate action is
taken. He needs bleeding" and they
seized him and cut hole in his scalp
All of these old fellows have retired
from practice, with records red with the
blood of their countrymen. They have
not become reconciled to the now and
less boisterous mode OF practice, and
even now, if one of them should be call
ed upon, he would have his knife in the
patient in less than five minutes.-Ar-

liked, while Mt the same time noglecting
his studies. The latter. on inquiring,
got to hear that his son showed little
aptitude for learning, and decided to
send him home, in order TO make far
mer of him. Tho herr student was
highly displeased at this turn OF affairs,
aud when his father took him in tho
field for the first time he gave vent to
his dissatisfaction in a string of Latin
phrases and quotations. After while
his father said to him: "a say, Angus

the manure in the cart-what do you
call them in Latin?" ''Forcus. manuri-
