SNAKE INCUBATION.
A Pretty Good Story which Comes All
the Way from Mexico.

A Pretty Good Story which Comes An
the Way from Mexico.
We are told that the natives of Mexi-
90 on the coasts inoculate themselves
with the virus of adders, cobfas and
rattlesnakes. and that the persons who
have been thus vaccinated are rendered
forever proof against injury from any
bite or sting. As to the truth of the
statement decline to be sworn in any
court of justice, but tell the tale as
twas told to me-" The person to be
inoculated is pricked with the serpent's
fangs on the tongue, in both arms and
legs, and various parts of the body, the
venom being thoroughly introduced into
each wound. An eruption Immediate
~ breaks out, accompanied by fever
and much swelling of the body, after
which the skin gradually flakes off in
scales, as in leprosy. 1t is said that
people who have been vaccinated in
this manner can not only handle the
most poisonous serpents with impunity
making them come at will, caressing
them, twining them about their necks
and carrying them in their bosoms-
but that the bites of these persons
themselves are as fatal as that OF the
snake whose virus has been transferred
into their blood! This snake story is
vouched for by many good people. both
native and foreign, whose word is I'M
impeachable on other subjects.

THE BEST WOOL.

It Can Not Be Produced Unless the Sheep
Are Kept in Prime Condition.
Every man who grows wool wants ID
grow the best; or, if not the best, tha
best of the kind which he grows. Il
may not be the best kind, but it should
be the best of its kind. Although not
the best kind for some purposes. itmay
be the best for others. Evel5 man
should aim at excellence, whatever be
does. AS the trite old adage has i.
whatever is worth doing at all i
worth doing we'll" This principle aP
plies to wool-growing, and mutton
growing, as well as to any thing else.
Indeed, it has universal application
But how is the farmer to grow the
best wool of its kind? Simply BY
keeping his sheep in the best condition
all the while. The sheep that is in 10
best possible condition, will grow the
best wool it is possible for it to grow.
Uniformity of condition is an impof-
tant point, and necessary to the pro-
duction of fibre of wool of uniform
quality and strength its entire length.
The sheep must not be gorged one
month and starved the next. II it -
depend upon it the fiber Of the Wool
will show the weakness produced py
starving. Neither must it suffer fof
want of water, or salt, or even shelter.
If it does, the expert can find itlreti
corded in the fiber of the wool. .,;.,.
All know very well that the hair o.
people is affected by sickness and often
falls out 1t also gets dry and harsh
and dead at the ends. The hair o. =
person in perfect health appears very
different from that of person IN poo,
health. The wool of sheep is aiteeseo
in the same way, by health and SICK
ness; and as sheep are often exposed y

Yousare not gospel hardened. You have
not heard many sermons during the last
few y Ears. As you came into a religious
meetlsg to-day every thing was novel,
and all the services are suggestive of your
early days. How sweet the opening
hymn sounded in your ears, and how
blessed it is in this place! Every thing
suggestive of Heaven. You do not weep,
but the shower is not far off. You sigh,
and YOU have noticed that there is always
sigh in the wind before the rain falls.
There are those here who would give any
thing if they could find relief in tears.
They say:
ooh, my vested life! Oh, the bitter
past! Oh, the graves over which have
stumbled? Whittier shall fly? Alas for
the future! Every thing is dark-so dark,
SO dark? God help me! God pity mel"
Thank the Lord for that last utterance
You have begun to pray, and when man
begins to petition that sets all Heaven fly
ing this way, and God steps in and beats
| back the hounds of temptation into the
kennel, and around about the poor, wound
ed soul puts the covert of his pardoning
mercy. Hark! I hear something fall.

Married when Blind.

Several years ago q resident of one OF the
suburbs had the misfortune to become to-
tally blind, cataract forming over his
eyes. While in this condition his wife
died. \ young German girl whom the I'M
fortunate man had never seen, was very
attentive 10 the wife in her last illness. and
after her death did what she could to make
the grief stricken husband and his two lit
tie children rs comfortable as possible
Snch devotion did not go unrewarded. The
blind man proposed and was accepted. He
married the faithful girl. Two children
were the result of this union. During his
years of blindness the sightless man never
lost hopes that some dag he might again
look upon the beauties of nature and loved
ones around him. y physician was finally
consulted who agreed to attempt the
removal of the cataract. The operation
was successful. and he, from whom the
light had been shut out so many years saw
again. He was almost beside himself with
Joy. 4 friend, who was at once recognized,
came leading lady by the hard "Do you
know who this is p he said TO the happy
fellow. mo, l do not" That is your
wife, and then the pair, one of whom had
never seen the other, fell into each others
arms, and a domestic scene of pathetic
beauty ensued. The two little children
were brought into their father. He clasped
them to his beating heart, and all the mis-
cries OF the past were forgotten in the
pleasure OF that moment. This is a true
story. The actors in this life panorama,
covering period of ten years, are all alive.
The husband sees as we'll as he ever did,
and is now in business in this city Gin

FITCH on IMOMRTALITY.
An Eloquent Expression of the Hope of


Life Beyond the Grave.
The following is the peroration of Hon.
Thomas Fitch's lecture, entitled The In
visible Police, as delivered in Tacoma:
In the interests of social order. in the
interests of a government of law, in the
interests of liberty and property, il is
necessary that the general belief of man
kind in Supreme intelligence and life
| beyond the grave should not be taken
away. If materialism is a truth, we may
as well strike such words as sacrifice and
! integrity and unselfishness from our vocab-
| ularies. If there is no life hereafter, no
moral accountability, no conscience. no
innate perceptions ofright and wrong which
come 10 US from the other life as moon
beams come through riffs in the darkening
| cloud, If ali these are but sounding phrases
invented by priests and used by politicians.
| then why should not every man help him.

fort without regard to the rights of others I?
There is surely another life than that of
earth. Those who have gone before still
live i'll our consciousness, though no more
living in the flesh than the radiant chill
dren of the stars. We need no priest to tell
Us this, nor scoifer 10 deny it, for there is
ever before each of us the testimony of his
own soul. We give our dead not to the
grave and the gloom, but 10 the hope of the
dawn which dwells beyond the sunset

" But the tide which Gibbs here flows else
