A Young Indian Snake Charmer.

In rather dark basement room in Allan
ia, Dow Poolo, half Indian boy, eleven
years old, has the most blood-curdling show
of the season. The room is devoid of fllrni-
ture, but over on one side is small box,
with homemade cover Of glass. The glass
is held in place by little tacks, and the box
contains three monster rattlesnakes, with
great scaly bodies and flat, dly-lookng
heads. Dow sits behind this box, plays with
Irvine string, or fumblcs with the buttons
on his coat, or by some other act shows that
he is nervous under the gaze of the specta-
tors. Every few minutes Dow opens the
box, reaches his hand in, and lifts out rat.
tier. The tongue Of the snake flashes back
ward and forward like lightning, but he
makes no effort to bite the boy as he is coiled
like necktie about the boy IS neck. He lays
perfectly quiet in the place where he is put,
or tucks his head cozily under the boys chin
or down his shirt collar The other snakes
are then taken out, one in each hand and
played with as though they were kittens.
They are then piled together on the floor and
by slapping them on the heads they are
made to sound their rattles in bloodhound
ling manner. If they start to crawl off Dow
strikes them on their noses and makes them
be quiet. Dow is poor boy, an orphan
from Dade county, and is natural snake
charmer. He will handle any snake except
cotton mouth. A wealthy young man
who lives in Dadc county had three rattle
snakes caught and put in box and sent for
the boy, who announced that he was not afraid
of them. The gentleman then kicked the
box over and ran Dow quietly proceeded to
gather up the snakes and restore them 10 the

Italian Chestnuts.

The poor people who live among the
mountains of Northern Italy are greatly help
ed by the chestnut harvest. They do not
have the abundance of food with which we
are favored, and therefore prize the nuts
The chestnut harvest lasts three weeks or
more. When the fruit is all gathered in, it
is spread above the open rafters that form
the roof of every kitchen in these Italian cot
tages, there to be dried during winter by the
fires heat from below. When the chestnuts
are dried and the outer skin has been crack
ed off by the heat, then they are ground in q
rem season, when there is but little fresh food
to be got by the poor. The dried chestnuts
are boiled whole likewise, so that, in one
form or another, the fruit Of the woods forms
a support during this time for all the peas
ants throughout the land.

and says; "Well, I'll look about, and if I
don't find anything that suits me better, I'll
call and take this" Pitts, like all fast men,
is partial of women, and young ones in parti
cuar. Now quite lately, Pitts said to himself
"Tm getting rather along in years, and guess
I'll marry" His business qualities wouldn't
let him wait, so off he travels, and calls on
lady friend, opening the conversation by re-
marking that he would like to know what
she thought about his getting married. ooh,
Mr.. Pitts, that is an affair in which am not
so very greatly interested and prefer to
leave it with yourself" "But," says Pitts,
"you are interested; and, my dear girl, will
you marry me?" The young lady blushed
very red, hesitated, and finally, as Pitts was
very well to do in the world, and morally,
financially, and politically of good standing
in society, she accepted him, Whereupon
the matter. of fact-Pitts said well, I'll look
about, and if don't find anybody that suits
me better than you I'll come back"

How Handel Became a Musician.

In an article entitled "From Bach to Wag-
ner," in the May 81. Nicholas, Agatha Tunis
| relates: Handel was born at Halle, in Sax
ony, February 23d, 1856. Unlike most of
the great musicians, he does not seem to have
| inherited his talent; his father was barber
and surgeon, nor can VIC discover in the
| family any special love for music. Handel,
| however, seems to have been "a born musi-
clan y he turned everything he touched into
sound. For some time he astonisLed and
amused his parents and all who heard him
but as his love for music seemed ever to grow
within him, his father, who had destined him
for the law, banished every musical instru-
ment from the house, and declared that the
| boy should hear no more of them. The boy,
| however, managed to smuggle clavier, or
key board Of clavichord, organ, or piano
forte into the house, and hid it in the attic
and night after night, when all in the house
| were asleep, he practiced on the muffled
keys, teaching himself until he could play
upon it with much skill. About this time
his father decided to visit a relative attached
| to the household of the Duke of Saxony at
Wessenfels The Duke was very devoted to
| music, and Handel, who had probably learn
ed this fact, implored his father to take him
too but in vain. Nothing daunted by the
denial, the persistent little fellow ran after
the carriage until his father discovered him
and took him in. He became great favorite
at Wessenfels, and one Sunday afternoon,
after the choir had finished singing, the Or
ganist lifted the child to the stool and told
him to play, and play he did, with so much
expression and deicacy that the Duke de-
manded his name and sent for his father. He
begged the latter to give up the project of
making lawyer of his son, predicted bril-
liant future for him if his musical genius
were cultivated, and sent the child away with
his pockets filled with coin, and the father
converted to the idea of a musical education
for his son.

THE COMING OF THE ROSE.


The star-gemmed gates, which are never seen
Except by elves on the dewy green
Were rolled apart at touch to-day,
And all the roses are on their way,
Coming to fill the land with light,
To crown the summer with garlands bright.
Sweet within sweet and fold on fold.
Crimson and white and cloth of gold
This with its fiery heart aglow
That with the lustre of falling snow,
See them toss on the prickly hedge,
See their foam on the meadows edge.
Blooming as fair by the roof of thatch
AS where princess may lift the latch,
Scattering odors pure and sweet
On the dusty road or the thronging street,
Battling the grasp of rude desire
by the watchful care of the sentry brier.
Everywhere is the fragrance poured;
Earth is a garden of the Lord.
Pride is the bower and light of the lane,
Tie rose is timed to merry strain;
Music and perfume, JOY and June
Nothing is tangled or out OF tune.
Bird atilt on the jewelled spray
Weaves the rose in his rOllicking lay;
Child at play by the cottage door
Never was half SO glad before;
Little wren in the hidden nest
Chirps of the pleasure that fills her breast.
Which is the lovelier, bud or rose,
The clasp that hides, or the bloom that grows
Fairer and Drawer hour by hour,
Till we gaze entranced on the perfect flower;
Somebody wiser than you or /,
Dear little questioner, must reply.
], as stoop to your rose-b bud lips,
Gates through which innocent laughter trips
|, as bend with kiss to meet
The wistful eyes in their candor sweet,
Know that the bud so fresh and free
Is the dearest thing in this world to me.
