Serpent Worship.

1t has been suggested, and appar-
ertly with some reason, says Mr.. Cor
don Cumming, that in ancient pagan
times it may have been recognized
symbol in serpent worship, and hence
may have arisen its common use as a
charm against all manner of evil. The
resemblance is obvious, more especially
to the species of harmless snake which
is rounded at both ends, so that head
and tail are apparently Just alike. The
creature moves backward or forward
at pleasure; hence the old belief that it
actually had two heads and was indie
structible, as even when cut in two
parts it was supposed that the divided
heads would seek one another and re-
unite. 1t stands to reason that in q
snake-worshipping community such q
creature would be held in high rever-
ence. Even in Scotland, various an
Gent Snake-like bracelets and orna-
ments have been found which seems to
favor this theory; and at a very early
period both snakes and horseshoes seem
to have been engraven as symbols on
sacred stones. We hear of the latter
having been sculptured, not only on the
threshold of Old London houses. but
even on that of ancient churches in
various parts of Britain. And in the
present day we all know the idea of
luck connected with finding one, and
how constantly they are nailed up on
houses, stables and ships as a charm
against witchcraft. In Scotland, all
parts of England and Wales, and es-
pecially in Cornwall (where not only
on vans and omnbuses, but sometimes
even on the gates of the old jails,) we
may find this curious trace of ancient
superstition. Whatever may have been
its origin, it is certainly remarkable
that it should survive both in Britain
and in Hindostan.-LoDd0B Spectator.

FARM AND FIRESIDE,

-Oxalic acid will remove potato
stains from the hands.--M Y. Herald.
Turkeys suffer much from hot
weather. Let them have plenty of
water.
Wheat bran fed to cows produces
good flow of milk, but does not make
butter.-Prdirie Farmer.
- In summer, when meat comes from
the butcher and is not to be used the
same day, it should be washed over
with vinegar, which prevents it from
turning. Detroit Post.
1t will surprise old-fashioned
poultry growers to learn that the COM
mon hawk is regarded as valuable
bird. He destroys one hundred field
mice for every chicken and if there is
a fair amount of shrubbery around the
henyard, very few chickens will be lost
from his depredations.
Bird Pudding: Pare nice,
well-havored apples enough to fill your
pudding dish and remove the cores with
an apple-corer. Steam them till ten
der. Take for custard three eggs and
milk enough to nearly cover the APP
pies. Sweeten to taste, and add little
salt and grated nutmeg. Bake till the
custard sets. The Household.
-Custard made in this way is
delicious for the filing of a layer cake:
Heat a coffee cup of sweet milk in q
bright tin basin, beat one egg very light
and beat with it until smooth one
heaping teaspoonful of flour, add sugar
to suit the taste; when the milk is hot,
stir the flour, eggs, etc, into it; it will
thicken in very few minutes. Take it
from the fire and flavor with lemon; if
you choose; blanch some almonds, cut
them in three or four pieces and stir
into the custard. - ErchaH9e.

CURE OF RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism for thirty years. am a pro-

dampness of the place caused my trouble.
Standing on the stones, my feet used to
swell up almost as big as cushions, then
the rheumatism would affect my shoulders
and arms. Ihave tried almost everything,
but without avail, until l began using
BRANDRETH's PILLS. The most ever took
was six pills at a dose, and soon as the
medicine operated, the pain would begin
to-gsSs off. l then took two pills every
night for a week, and would be entirely
cured for some months, until had another
attack; then the same treatment always
cured ne. BRANDRETH's PILLS never have
failed lie once. have been using them
forupwrds of thirty years. Idaiiy recon-
mend them, and lately cured my clerk Of

The Men With the Pig.

A few days ago two men, who were
afterwards found to be Detroiters, ar
rived in a town about fifty miles to the
west of this, leading pig 1t was per-
haps big enough and heavy enough to
be called a hog, but they termed it a pig,
and as they turned it over to the care of
the landlord atwhose inn they proposed
to rest for the night one of the men eX-
plained:'
''Be awful careful with that pig. He's
a daisy-a new breed Just from Scot
land. We've sold him to q farmer out
here for $50, and we don't want any
thing to happen to him"
The landlord locked the pig up and
then began to think and cogitate and
suspect When the strangers had gone
to bed he called in some of the boys
and said:
''Pve twigged the racket; them two
fellows are sharpers, and that's q
guessing pig. Tomorrow they will
give you a chance to guess at his
weight at ten cents guess, and you'll
be cleaned out-only you won't! AS
the fellows sleep we will weigh their
pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was taken
over to the scales and weighed. He
pulled down 10 pounds to hair, and
the villagers went home and hunted up
their nickels and dreamed of pigs and
scales and sharpers through the re-
mainder of the night
Next morning the pig was led around
in front, and before starting off on his
journey, one of the owners remarked to
the assembled crowd:
gentlemen, I'm going to weigh this
pig directly. Maybe some of you would
like to guess on his weight? I'll take
all guesses at ten cents each, and who
ever hits it gets fifty cents"
This provoked large and selected
stock of winks and smiles, but no one
walked up until the pig man said that
any one person could guess as many
times as he cared to, provided dime
accompanied each guess. Then a rush
set in. Three or four merchants put
. up fifty guesses each. A justice of the
peace took thirty. A lawyer said about
twenty would do for him. Before there
was any let up in the guessing about
600 had been registered and paid for.

1t was curious what unanimity there
was in the guessing, but the pig men
didn't seem to notice it. When all had
been given a chance the pig was led to
the scales, and 10! his weight was ex-
actly IA pounds!
You see, gentlemen" explained the
spokesman, while this animal only
weighs 10 pounds along about eleven
O'Clock at night, we feed him about five
pounds of corn-meal in the morning
before weighing! You forgot to take
this matter into considerations
Then somebody kicked the landlord,
and he kicked the justice, and the just
ice kicked merchant, and when the
pig men looked back from a distant hill
the whole town was out kicking itself
and throwing empty wallets into the
ver.-DctroI Free Press.
