A WORD FOR SNAKES.

asv tAs Maternal Instinct IL Developed b
Reptiles.
The cold-blooded adder would scarcely
be selected as an emblem of maternal
love, and yet there can be no doubt that
it has frequently lost its life while seek
ing to preserve the existence of its
young. Mr.. CARAT, in . recent edi-
ton of his interesting 'Marvels of In
stinct," gives very circumstantial ac-
count of an instance in which very
large adder was seen on bank by the
roadside basking in the sun. The mar
rator of the story advanced to assail the
creature with his stick. On observing
him she gave a slight hiss, at the same
time raising her head little and open
ing her mouth. The signal was under
stood by her four little ones, which in
stantly glided down her throat. But her
thought for her offspring caused the
mothers destruction, for the act de-
layed the adder long enough for him to
strike again, and the snake, gorged with
young, lay dead at his feet. Mr.. Gar
raft then removed her body into the
middle of the road, to see what had be-
come of the s'insiders. He opened the
snake and the four young all came out
alive. The little animals wriggled
about in all manner of forms, as If
something strange had happened to
them, and as if they knew not where to
go or what to do. Mr.. CARAT, an
noyed apparently at the doubt which
has been sometimes expressed
as to the fact of snakes
affording their young temporary shell
has collected large number Of we'll
recorded instances of the fact, and it
may be noted that in most of the cases

Coming to q somewhat higher type Of
animal, the same devotion is to be found,
as is exemplified in the story of rat and
cobra fight. narrated in the pages of a
contemporary. The spectator of the
conflict relates that the new combatants
fell from the roof of hut to within a
few feet of where he was standing. and
through the open window he was enabled
to witness the battle. The rat, he states,
was too agile for the heavy movements Of
the snake, and for q long time escaped
unscathed, while her enemy was desper-
ately wounded. Ultimately the cobrs
succeeded in infiicting bite, and, as
though aware that precaution was now
useless. the poor rat rushed into close
quarters, and. firmly fixing her teeth in
the throat of the venomous creature,
never let 60 her grasp again. The
cnake plunged about furiously but vain.

ABOUT CATS.

The High Regard In Which Felfnes Were
Held In Past Ages.
In ancient times cats were favorably
regarded. In Egypt they were looked
upon as sacred animals. To kill one
was punished with death; and when a
cat died in the course of nature, all the
inmates OF the house had to 60 in
mourning.
Among the Egyptian statues a cat
headed deity is familiar, and n,ummies
Of the sacred animal are abundant.
They are to be seen, some two or three
thousand years old. in most modern
collections Of antiquities.
As late - the time of King Richard
H., who died in the year 400, race Of
wild cats abounded in England. They
are mentioned by name in a charter to
the Abbot Of Peterborough, permitting
him to hunt game in the royal forests.
Cats were introduced into England
from the Island of Cyprus. by mer-
chants who came to trade for tin, 9
metal which then, as now, was largely
found in the southwestern shire Of
Cornwall.
BY the ancient laws of Wales, con-
siderable money value was fixed on
cats and kittens. A good mousel
fetched fourpence (the same price as .
calf,) while newborn kitten wa
valued ct penny. Queer, Quaint ana

Dr.. g. G. McDermott has performed two

the circle around the cataract. As her
mother said, she could see dark objects

the left eye. He did not attempt to re-
move the cataract, but made an incision
in the lower part OF the eye. and
formed q new pupil. He then ban
daged the eye, and found yesterday
that it had entirely healed up without in
aammation. He therefore repeated the
operation on the right eye yesterday at
ternoon. The little girl, who had fine,
intelligent face and pretty golden hair,
was startled when the bandage was re-
moved yesterday morning from the first
eye operated on, and declared that things
looked strange to her. She took no an

What is Paid for Making Pocket Hsndker-
chiefs and shirts.
Among the thousands of toilers in
this busy city there is class of female
workers who earn the most miserable
pittances. and while organized trades
and labor unions are moving for re-
form and seeking to better their
condition, these poor women have
no prospect of increasing their pay.
One young woman, in charge of the
workroom in an uptown dry goods
store, said that four cents dozen was
paid for cutting and hemming pocket
handkerchiefs, and two cents per dozen
for smoothing and folding them. One
good worker can do twelve dozen day
-forty-eight cents. Equally low prices
are paid for shirts and ladies' under
garments.
Most of the labor is done at home by
young women who live with poor par
euts, but they work long hours and
exc out a rather miserable existence.
The competition is carried on in under
garments to such an extent that en-
ployers endeavor to obtain work at the
very lowest wages and dictate such
terms as they see fit. As low as four
cents is paid for the sewing on a shirt,
and these garments are sold unlaun-
dried at the low figure of eighty cents
each. while the actual cost, including
labor, material and cutting, is twenty
five cents. Such garments are sold In
dry goods stores at much lower prices
than in the fashionable furnishing
goods houses, where the prices are
doubled, but as long as work is carried
to the homes of the sewers there is no
prospect that better prices will be paid.
The same trouble has been expert
enced in the cloakmaking and dress
making trade, where garments are car
ried home after shop hours, and the
the workingmen and women sew into
the morning hours to earn few cents
additional to the wages earned by the
man in the downtown shop.-N r

Mr.. EDIToR:-Whilc spending few
days at the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Cardiganshirc, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
a fabulous story or q marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able to lie down in bod for
six long years, given up to die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
of the report.

such stories grow in travelling, | took

the case of Mr.. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take a deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sutlerings, and now rejoiced in what
seemed to them most remarkable cure

character as respectable farmer and

Vicar with livelier sense of the happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body,
or estate.
On my return to Aberystwith, was
impressed with desire to see Mr. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His

To support government by pro-
pagating vice, is to support it by
means which destroy the end for
which it was originally established,
and for which its continuance is to
be desired. If the expenses of the
government cannot be betrayed, but
by corrupting the morals of the peo-
pie, l shall, without scruple, de-
clare that money ought not to be
raised, nor the designs of the gov
eminent supported.
DR.. SAMUEL JOHNSON.
Public credit, my lords, is indeed
of very great Importance; hut pub
lie credit can never be long sup
ported without public virtue, nor,
indeed, if the government could
mortgage the morals and health of
the people, would it be just and
rational to confirm the bargain. If
the ministry can raise money only
by the destruction of their fellow
subjects, they ought to abandon
those schemes for which money is
necessary; for what calamity can
be equal to unbounded wickedncss.
LORD CHESTERFIELD.
One fatal fact will make strongly
for this traffic under the license. 1t
has purchased the right to be, and
the community has accepted the
prlce. The blood money has been
paid, and the blood money must
therefore of right and interest be
paid. The community has taken the
price, and must in honor allow the
sacrifice to proceed. We have sold
our fellow men: we have set apart
our thirty pieces of silver for the
,,oCter's field, for state prisons,
asylums and aims houses, and now
the fearful work must 80 on.
JOHN BAsCoM.
One of the most prominent les
sons taught by universal history
