The Ravenna Water Works have
now in use Sl5 service pipes. This is
not, however, the total number of
water consumers, as in some cases two
or more are supplied from one pipe.
There are still some fifty applicants
who have not been reached, and we
have no doubt that the end of the first
year will show over 400 patrons of the
works.
We hear of an attempt by three
slick ones" to victimize one of our
most respected and substantial farmers
last week. Their little game did not
work just right, and they left with the
understanding that they would return
this week to complete the trade, but
as the gentleman is posted about them
it is not probable they will deal with
him.
Between and 4 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, Willis Thomas, a young
man about II, SON of D. w. Thomas,
was breaking q colt, at the Fair
Grounds, when he was thrown from
the sulky, falling directly behind the
colt. The animal kicked and struck
young Thomas on the head, tearing
up the scalp some seven inches, and
inflicting other injuries of q less seri-
GUS nature. Medical aid was sum-
moned and the injuries attended to,
and the young man was able to be
taken to his home, In Paris. ON the
evening train.

GARRETTSvILLE.
Correspondence.


A short time since vote was taken
here as to whether the Council should
pass an ordinance to prohibit saloons
within the corporation limits of Gar
rettsville, There were 203 votes in
favor of the ordinance and the small
number of IA against, and of the latter
two were cast in that way by mistake.
Since that time the temperance loving
people have been watching with anx-
iety the action of the council upon the
question. Last night the council held
an adjourned meeting to settle the
question. They at that meeting pass
ed the long looked for ordinance, of

On Friday last s F. Butts, of Ak
ron, made brief calls on his Ravenna
friends to say good bye, previous to
his removal to Kansas City, Mo. The
announcement elected expressions of
regret. During his residence, he, with
his estimable family, endeared them
selves to all who had the pleasure of
their acquaintance. He was one of
the pioneer founders of the extensive
Quaker Mill establishment of this
city. holding the position of Superin-
dent for several years. He goes to
Kansas City to take charge of the ex-
tensive Oatmeal mill of J. F. Corey &
Son, expecting to bid adieu to his Ak
ron home today.
Mr., Butts is master of his business,
having superintended the erection of
Akron Cereal Mills, and placing them
in successful competition with the
products of the best mills in the coun-
try. The parties securing his SER
vices may congratulate themselves in
being able to place their establishment
in charge of u gentleman of assured
competency and successful experience.
Friends in Akron, being apprised
of his intentions, assembled to the
number of seventy five at his resi-
dence on South Main St., Friday eve.
ming last, to evidence their spprecia-
tion of himself and family as citizens
and friends, and to bid them Godspeed
in their journey to their western home.
After enjoying pleasant social time,
not unmingled with feeling of sad
ness at their near departure, they left
| with them as tokens of friendship the
following gifts:
To Mr.. Butts, gold chain, presented
by the employees of the Akron Cereal
Mills. Mrs. Butts received q set of
ear. drops and pin, from neighbors.
Frank, the oldest son, was the recipi-
ent of pair of gold cuff buttons, and
Charlie received gold pin and cuff
buttons from employees of the mill.
During his residence here Mr.. Butts
made o host of friends, who deeply
regret bis departure from this section.
In his business and private life, Mr..
Butts was always the same. honest.
Straightforward and obliging, while
his services in the church aud 8. g.,
particularly at OakwOod, Of which he
was for many years Superintendent,
endeared him to these organizations, as
an active and efficient worker. He
carries with him the best wishes of his
Ravenna friends.

SNAKE INCUBATION.
How 1t is Successfully Practiced in Dutch
Guiana.

How 1t is Successfully Practiced in Dutch
Guiana.
Apropos the widespread discussion as
to the practical value of Pasteur's inoc.
ulation of rabies as preventive of hy-
drophobia, the following statement of a
similar method of incubation as pre-
ventive of the deadly effects of the bites
of poisonous serpents will be of interest.
The method is thus described by the Rev.
Charles H. Bixby, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal Church, Kenwood, who was
born in Dutch Guiana, or Surinam,
and lived there until he went abroad to
pursue his collegiate studies:
s'The practice is so common there
that it excites no comment whatever.
1t is almost universal among the me-
groes, who have practiced it for GEN.
turies. From them it has spread among
the white men, especially the planters,
until it is the customary thing among
all men whose business calls them to the
infested districts. Nobody makes a
business of preparing the virus, .as it
might be termed, but it can be easily OBJ
tanned in any locality. The vaccine
matter is simply the poison of a
snake, dried and ground into pow
der. phe snake is caught and fas-
tened firmly, teased and irritated until
his glands are swollen with poison, and
the glands then extracted. Idon't know
the exact process of preparing the poi
son; but when prepared it is a fine,
harmless-appearing powder. It is then
used in exactly the same way as small
pox virus. The surface of the. skin is
scratched, usually at the wrist, and a
small amount of the powder rubbed into
the cuts. 1t acts very much like ordi-
nary vaccine matter, and makes small
sore, which heals and leaves no trace
but small scar. 1t is said that a case
was never known of man dying OF
even being affected by the bite of snake
in Surinam when vaccination had been
properly performed. I remember dis.
tinctly seeing a drayman in my fathers
employ hold a deadly snake in his hand
and torment it. The snake would turn
its head and repeatedly fasten its fangs
into the mans hand until it was GOV.
cred with blood. The drayman merely
laughed, and when he got through play.
ing with the snake threw it down. and
stamped on its head The poison GER
tainly did not affect him, for saw him
for years afterwards. There is no doubt
of the deadly effects of the bites of the
snakes when there has been no vaccina-
tion-the death-list every year will prove
that without difficulty. y Chicago Tsib.

PRETTY GIRLS.
Beauty BY No Means as Attractive as It
rs Supposed to BE.

Beauty BY No Means as Attractive as It
rs Supposed to Be.
Beauty in women is not to be under.
valued, but it is easy to overvalue it. A
well-known employer, who has about
two thousand girls in his store and
work-rooms, was asked the other day
whether pretty girl could sell more
goods than an ordinary-looking one.
After hesitation he answered, doubtful
ly: "Yes--if she has other qualifica.
tions." Beauty alone, he said, will moi
lure the money from careful customer:
and when girl is too conscious of her
beauty, and is disposed to depend upon
it for her power to please, it becomes a
hindrance. The intelligent mind, the
winning manner, the earnest purpose,
are "the other qualifications which
give success.
1t is much the same in the great affair
OF marriage. Beauty alone is by no
means the attractive force it is often
supposed to be. Dull, conscious, IRE.
spopsive beauty pleases but for a. mo.
ment, and does not in that moment
please much. tits the good, kind, friend.
ly, capable girl whom we all like, an i
who can soonest convert liking into
love. If, in addition to all these nice
qualities, she has the gift of beauty, SO
much the BETTER But we can dispense
with that very easily when the heart is
good and the mind is intelligent IN p.

old age the person by whom in his boy
hood it had been marked for life.
There are some few other specimens
of land tortoise in this country. There
| is one ON the western prairles consid-
erable larger than ours. And in the
South there is very large one, known
as the gopher turtle. This creature has
q shell nearly fifteen inches long, and
is so strong that it can move under
weight of two hundred pounds, so that
it might easily carry man on its back.
1t lives in undep- ground burrows IN
sandy forests, and does its prowling by
night, often making havoc in the sweet
potato and melon patches of the inhab-
itants. So the good people of the Gull
States do not altogether relish the
gopher.
1t is the water-turtles, the terrapins
| OF our fresh waters and the great sea
turtles which are the delight of epicures.
Of the fresh-water species we have sew
eral varieties, from little fellow of the
waters of Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey not four inches long. to the, great
and fierce snapping-turtle with shell
nine inches and more in length. 1t is
said to have been taken of four feet in
total length, from snout to end of tail.
To kill this creature does not kill ite
swapping propensities; the head will
live for hours after being cut off, and
has been known to snap boys finger
or the leg of an investigating hen hours
after it ought to have been dead. 1t is
not a safe thing to throw the head of q
snapper in the grass as trap for prowk
ing chickens or curious boys.
There is one other odd popularity Of
tortoises and some other reptiles with
which we may conclude. If we want
to breathe freely, we open our mouth
to do SO; but if the mouth of a tortoise
or a toad be Kept open by inserting q
stick between its jaws, it will soon suf-
focate for want of breath.
This may seem impossible, yet it may
be easily explained. All the higher
animals breathe by pumping the air
into and out of their lungs. We do
our air-pumping by means of the dia-
phragm, a broad membrane below the
lungs, which moves up and down at
every breath, and opens and closes the
lungs successfully. In the tortoise the
mouth is the pump. 1t takes in a
mouthful of air. Then it closes its
| lips, contracts the cavity of the mouth,
and drives the air down into its lungs.
| If the mouth be kept open, this pump
will not work, since the air viii rush
outward instead of downward.
| This is one of the odd facts of nature.
As many fish can be drowned by being
fastened under water and not allowed
4 to come to the surface, so many air
| breathers can be suffocated by being
placed in an ocean of air with theiI
mouths wide open. = Charles Morris,
in Harper's Young People.
