A SNAKE ARTIST.

Nobody knew how he got in; but he VA
there, and after borrowing chew of TO-
bacco from the police reporter he handed
his card to the managing editor:

Well, no; but can get one up in q
few moments"
He sat down in the religious editors
place, and in Ave minutes handed over the
following, bearing an upstate date line:
ION the morning of Wednesday of this
week little Eta Strayof, the two-year-old
daughter of one of the wealthiest and most
influential members of this community, met
with an adventure which might be regarded
as incredible but for the fact that it is
vouched for by reliable witnesses. She go,
lost in neighboring forest and was chased
by a huge snake, which emerged from a
deserted hut in wild ravine, where it had
been leading hermit's life, tubsisting on
wild herbs and eking a precarious income
by telling fortunes. When the child saw
the terrible monster she was almost para
lyzed by fright, but with superhuman eff
fort regained possession of her faculties and
began to fee. She was, however, fated to
be overtaken, as the serpent pursued and
caught up with her before she had gone ten
miles. Then he opened his mouth and
prepared to devour her. when all at once
his attitude changed. Instead of carrying
out this resolution, to the exceeding sur
prise of his intended victim the monster
smoothed her hair and patted her little
cheeks, and, gently releasing $4,000 dia
mond brooch from her throat, pinned it in
his shirt front and walked refectively away
The friends of the child found her soon af
terward, and on learning her strange story
went to look for his snakeship. They dis
covered him sitting in front of his hui
studying the Cape May time table, with q
view to becoming a watering place hote
clerk"
The editor assured Mr.. Lyme that he pos
sessed too much genius to be permitted tt
run at large, SO he employed him to write
obituary notices. ESchange.

Amputationof theLeg.
The old Family Physician at

Succ ossfal Surgeon.

Money Is the universal necessity, and
none but cynic or q fool will affe,t to
despise 1t. Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, of
Port Even, Ulster County, N. Y, had
realized this truth. His disease involv.
ed the whole of hisithigh- bone, and the
suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason to death rs
his only deliverer. His family ply
sician refused to amputate the limb
asserting that the operation would kill
the patient on the spot. DR.. David
KENNEDY, OF Rondout. N. Y, who
was consulted, held different opinion
and amputated the limb. The Doctor
then administered freely his great
Blood-Specifc FAVORITE REMEDY
TO afford tone and strength to the sys-
tenn, proven: the return of the disease.
and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to this day
In the bloom of health. The gentle.
mans disease was the offspring Of foul
blood, and Kennedy's FAVORITE
REMEDY purified the blood and re-
stored to him the power once more to
enjoy his life. Are you suffering from

ROUGH ON CHICAGO.

A reporter of the Chicago Times in Lon
don tried to teach the Fire Brigade how
they do things in Chicago. He says:
found the man in charge of the steamer
rather communicative individual, who had
a store of knowledge about fire matters
that was as astonishing as it was ample.
When inquired why the steamers are SC
small he replied:
"Becos we cawnt get a bigger one to @
fire."
"Why not?"
"Osses cawnt pull bigger one than this
ERE. An wots more" this with a Zero.
cious glare at me, "wot I'D be the good Of
'avin bigger one than this 'ere?"
Thinking that had better explain why
was so curious, ventured to suggest that
larger steamers would be more powerful,
throw more water and do better execution
generally, and then such q change would
improve the effectiveness of the brigade"
"Cawnt prove it. It's the first in the
world now. 1t don't need no improvin', il
DON'T"
We're you ever in Chicago"
"Shecawgo? Where's that?"
"In the United States. Now if"
ooh! I see. You're from the plaot
were they throw the fireman down Stair
and shoots the happarawtus hout of can
non to fire. We've card of that place
before, but we cawnt do anything like tina
ERE, you know. We don't know enuf ere
we don't. We amt 'ighly enuf heddicated
we amt. We don't shoot happarawtuse
bout of cannon, we don't" And with ,
loud guffaw at the imperceptible joke in hi
remark he turned away and began polishing
mp the machinery.
Concluding that any effort to enlivel
him in fire matters would be worse thai
useless went back to my former post o
observation.

NOuriShing Food.

Peas, beans, lentils, vetches and al
the seeds belonging to that class used
rs vegetables, contain rich nourishine
matter, in the same proportion as the
best grains. The special nourishine
azotic matter found in grains, as gluten
in the cereals, albumen in the egg,
casein in milk, musculin in meat, differs
in those seeds, according to the kind,
from "a to 81 per cent; the fecula and
its derivations, the dextrine and glu.
cinum, from 40 to 80 per cent; the fat
phosphorated in one part from to g:
the mineral matter from 81 to 3-5;
the cellular matter forming the weft OF
the seed is similar in its chemical COM
position to the fecular and dextrine,
from 1 to 81; and lastly, the water
from 10 to ID per cent. These seeds
are therefore very nourishing food. Ii
will be of great value to know that the
juice of these seeds, when cooked, con-
tains the same rich aliment. 1t is only
necessary to take care that peas, beans,
lentils, etc. are not put into boiling
water, as that would cause them to
harden instead of soften. and prevent a
solution of the vegetable. The water
must contain as little lime as possible,
and the vegetable must be put into it
before it commences to heat. Legu-
mems are especially valuable on account
of the popularity of having the richest
phosphoric parts of all substances IN the
group OF albumens which form for man.
kind the complete aliment for the con-
stitution, as well as for the nervous
system. Especially is such food nour-
lshlng to the brain. Comparing grains
with legumens. we find that the former
contains ID per cent. of the albuminous
azotic substances, similar in their con-
stituent parts and nourishing qualities
to the albuminouS fbrin, casein, mus
culin and legumen. The principal al
luminous substance of grain is gluten;
called also tibrin of gluten, or vegetable
fibrin, in the same way as the legumen
has been called vegetable casein. The
gluten in the cereals represents the
legumen of peas, beans, lentils and
other seeds of the same vegetable kind.
These two substances are considered to
be OF the same nourishing value, except
that the legumen is richer in phos-
phorus than the gluten. The grain
contains 60 per cent. of fecula, Z of
gluten, 1.2 of fat-of which one part is
phosphorus, similar to the legumens-
1.6 of mineral matter. 1t of cellular
matter. and II per cent. of water.
InuS we see that the proportion of
nourishing matter in the leguminous
seeds is from ~ to 81 per cent, while
