CURIOUS FEATURES OF LIFE
Snakes in the Penjdeh valley.

Remittent fever has of late years
played sad havoc among the Jamshidi
of Kushk. All the neighboring valleys
INCLUDING Penjdeh, are infected, and art
only habitable in spring and summer by
the acclimatized. Another drawback
to this valley is the number of snakes
which infest it. In spring the country
must swarm with them; at present they
are to be found, when there is occasion
to dig, some eighteen inches or two feet
below the surface hilerating in sleepy
torpor
Before winter closed one of the Ian
cers-a strong, healthy young fellow
very nearly fell victim to one of these
reptiles. When picking up stone he
was bit in the back of the hand. and he
owed his life to his own prompt presence
of mind and Dr. Charles's care and
skill Tearing off strip of his turban
he bound IL tlghtly-so tightly that in
the hospital they could not tighten it
round the arm above the wrist. He
then made off for the hospital, and half
an hour after being bitten he was under
DR.. Charles's care. But already there
were signs of paralysis IN the left leg,
and this gradually spread till both ex-
tremities were completely paralyzed.
He suffered from great heat, followed
by intense cold, tingling and numbness
in the arms and legs, and much pain
over the heart-his heart was ION fire"
he complained.
Altogether his case, after an hour or
so, seemed hopeless. He was piled with
brandy and ammonia, and made to
walk till his legs were deadened by
paralysis, and then he was put between
hot blankets, and hot bricks were Piled
to his feet. Hypodermic injection of
ether was found very useful, and at last,
after three hours of unremitting care,
he Slowly passed out OF danger: and
DR.. Charles has the satisfaction of being
one of the few who have successfully
treated snake bite. However, the
man did not completely recover at once.
He suffered from blood poisoning. and
it was three weeks before he was dis
charged from the hospital.-Er.

A Near" Yankee.
from the Boston Post.1


Probably the most economical man
in Essex County resides in West Lynn.
He is hard worker, and three crack
ers and a half-pint of milk and water
are a banquet for him. He occupies
his leisure time in quartering matches,
and a quarter gross goes a long way in
his house. For the benefit Of those
who cannot understand how a. man
can divide a match in four parts, the
following plan is given: "Have thin
bladed penknife; lay the match on a
smooth surface, red end pointed
toward you; split the match by press
ing down upon it with the knife, being
careful not to cut across the grain"
Long practice has made this fellow so
skillfu1 that he rarely fails to make
one match do the work Ct four Once
in a while his wife used to muster up
courage to appropriate chicken from
their flock and bake it for dinner.
Upon his return home this man, who
is so "minKing" as some Of the neigh
bors put it, used TO open the oven
door, take a good, long smell Of the
fumes arising from the roasting chick
en-, drink a glass of milk, and go back
to work, declaring that he had had
ga feast fit for king" This man had
a son and one daughter. The son
died, leaving about 81 1000 to the girl,
who was but child. 1t is said by the
neighbors that he actually charged his
own daughter for board until the ST.
900 had found its way to his bank ac-
count.

The Ksthetic Apostle at Home.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Among the houses one must visit-if
only once-is the house Of Lady Wilde,
mother of the famous Oscar. It is q
house in Park Street. leading out of
Park Lane, one Of the headquarters Of
fashion in theimmediate neighborhood
Of Hyde Park. 1t is the dingiest, dirt
lest, most disreputable abode Of gen
tility that I ever set eyes on. The
mother of the apostle of beauty lives
therein, and with her William-or
Master William, as he is sometimes
called-the elder brother Of the apos-
tie.
When the other day I pulled the
grimy handle of the bell attached to
the doorway. l noticed written above
it, the ominous word "Nothing!"
What did it mean? A friend of Mas
ter William, to whom I applied for in
formation, told me it meant every
thing; that it was the whole news of
the house in nutshell, and meant to
describe the state of the Wildes' fl
nances. Inside things are scarcely bet
ter, but the lobby, staircase and recep-
tionroom are so dark in broad daylight
that visitors are obliged to grope their
way up, and have not time or leisure
to examine details. Those who have
done so speak with bated breath of
the dusty, almost wormy, atmosphere,
dwelling with sense of injury on the
bit of drugget over which they nearly
stumbled and the drawing room table,
which, dimly seen in the sanctuary,
made locomotion Of any kind a posi-
tive danger.
The great Oscar and his brother
William do the duties of hosts in a
most mastery manner; the lady of
the house, who, it is said, objects to
light, is an excellent hostess. "Brain,
my dear madam, brain, my good sir |
That is what we want" And so she
talks and smiles and talks to all her
guests, hoping they are clever, and
feeling quite sure that they are also
fond of brain. Oscar, on one occasion,
handed some buns to a charming
young lady. "Pro formal" he said,
with a polite smile. "But pray you,
avoid them. l always do" She did
not take the hint, and she lived to re-
greet it. The buns were elderly with 9
taste of cupboards about them.

he could be carried out the house was
tabooed and deserted. There are
traces In Greece, Rome and China of
this custom of carrying dying persons
into the open air.
But IN case the ghost should, despite
OF all precautions, make his wav back
from the grave, steps were taken to
barricade the house against him.
Thus, IN some parts of Russia and
East Prussia an axe or lock is laid
on the threshold or a knife is hung
over the door, and in GERMANY 3
soon as the coffin is carried out of the
house all the doors and windows are
shut, whereas, so long as the BODY is
still in the house, the windows land
sometimes the doors) are left con-
stantly open to allow the soul to es-
cape. In some parts of England every
bolt and lock in the house is unfas-
tened, SO that the ghost of the dying
man may fly freely away.
But if primitive man knew how to
bully, he also knew how to outwit the
ghost. For example, a ghost can only
find his way back to- the house by the
way by which he left it. This little
weakness did not escape the vigilance
of our ancestors and they took their
measures accordingly. The coffin was
carried out of the house, not by the
door, but by hole made for the pur-
pose in the wall, and this hole was
carefully stopped up as soon as
the body had been passed through
it, SO that when the ghost
strolled quietly back from the grave,
he found to his surprise that there
was no thoroughfare. The credit
Of this ingenious device is shared
equally by Greenlanders. Hottentots,
Bechuans, Samoieds, Oiibways, Al
gonkins, Laosians, Hindoos, Tibetans,
Siamese, Chinese and Fiiians. These
special openings, or "doors of the
dead, are still to be seen in a village
near Amsterdam, and they were COM
mon IN some towns of Central Italy,
as Perugia and Assist. A trace Of the
same custom survives in Thuringen,
where it is thought that the ghost Of
a man who has been hanged will re-
turn to a house il the body be not
taken out by window instead of a
door.
The Siamese, not content with carry
ing the dead man out by q special
opening, endeavor to make assurance
doubly sure by hurrying him three
times round the house at full speed-a
proceeding we'll calculated to bewilder
the poor soul in the coffin. The Arau-
canians adopted the plan Of strewing
ashes behind the coffin as it is being
borne to the grave, in order that the
ghost might not be able to find his way
back.

three or four inches apart. Moths
love darkness and uncleanliness, and
deposit their eggs in cracks and crew
ices about hives, where bees cannot
gain access to them.
WHEN beeswax is chewed it should
have no disagreeable taste and must
not stick to the teeth. In an adulter-
ated wax, the nature Of the foreign
material can generally be detected by
the taste; the addition of fat can gen.
orally be readily detected. II it sticks
to the teeth the presence Of resin may
be assumed. A simple method of de-
tecting the presence Of fat in wax con-
sists in melting it, and placing drop
on piece OF wooden cloth. After it is
perfectly cold and solidified a few drops
OF ninety per cent. alcohol are poured
on and the cloth rubbed between the
hands The wax will be converted in
to dust, and will easily separate from
the cloth if it contains no fat, and will
leave no stain; when if it contains fat
it will leave grease spots. In examin-
ing wax candles, they should be broken
to see whether the interior is Of the
same material as the surface, because
authorizations of this kind occur quite
frequently.
THE Massachusetts Ploughman thus
explains the cause of soft-shelled eggs:
''The shell is added to the other
coverings Of the egg during its passage
through the last portions of the owl
duct, and is the product of fluid, Sc
creted by the lining membrane, very
abundantly supplied with calcareous
salts. In many cases the birds do
not have free access to substances
which will supply these calcareous
salts, thus we have at once a
solution to the problem Of soft eggs;
but in other cases we must look else
where for an answer. Unquestionably
this abnormal condition is not unfre-
quently the result of over-stimulation
OF the ovaries by excessive feeding.
The eggs pass down before the shell
has had time to form; or, again, the
shell-forming membrane is in condi-
ditiOn in which it's secretion is imper-
fectly or not at all formed-possibly
from overwork. Whatever may be the
exact cause it will be found that q re-
striction as well as a change of diet
will produce q good effect. Pounded
bones, old mortar and lime water
may besubstitutedfo for the clam shells,
and more green food given and less
grain"

Flower Superstitions.
from the New York Post.1

From the New York POST
A reverence for flowers is found in
all countries. Even you would not
have the temerity to doubt the good
fortune that comes to the finder ofthe
four-leaved clover. Among the Hin
docs all bright-colored flowers are
considered suitable offerings to che
gods, either from historical associa-
tions or because they have some fancied
resemblance to some revered object.
Thus, the trimurti, that corresponds
to our trinity, has two plants dedicat-
ed especially to it; one is the crat@va,
and the other the bael tree Both
have trifoliate leaves, like the sham
rock, that is also considered to repre-
sent the trinity. One of the first
legends that you hear in India is that
of Krishna; variety of basil is sacred
to him and to Vishnu also Equally
interesting is the erythrina indica,
that all truly religious Hindoos be-
lieve bloomed in the garden of Indra,
in Heaven. Krishna is supposed to
have stolen it from there; hence it is
under a curse, and is avoided and con-
sidered the meanest Of all flowers. In
Hindoo mythology the five flowers of
love stand out prominently. Kama
deva is their Cupid, and heis supposed
to have tipped each one of his arrows
with these flowers, most of which can
be seen in the private collections in
and about New York. They are the
champa, the mango, the bulla, the
elearing-nut flower, and the white
nagkesur

KING REDwALD'S AFFAIRS.
BY HELEN JACKSON.


When Edwin reigned in Britain,
And Redwald reigned in Kent,
The news of Christ'S religion
Throughout the country went.
Edwin embraced it warmly,
Unquestioning, content.
81 will noU be too hasty,"
Said the canny King OF Kent.
1T may be Christ is strongest,
And the Devil safely pent;
But till | am quite certain"
Said Redwald, King of Kent,
''I'u give to neither worship
Unqualified assent.
My temple has two affairs"
ooh, canny King of Kent!)
1.-The foremost and the biggest
TO Christ henceforth is lent;
But the small one in the corner"
Said Redwald, King of Kent,
"Ill keep burning to the Devil,
That he may see | meant
To do him no diShOnOr,"
Said the canny King of Kent.
Christians rule now in Britain,
And Christians rule in Kent;
And men suppose the Devil
Is dead, or safely pent;
But in some secret corner
The most OF them consent
To give him one small altar,
Like Redwald, King of Kent.
