The Mortality from COnsump-
ton.

Within the past year the civilized
world has been shocked and saddened
by the knowledge of the great devasta-
ton wrought by the cholera in Spain;
and every precaution, in the way of
sanitary measures and quarantine
regulations that modern science could
suggest, was taken to prevent its
spreading into other countries. The
public scanned the columns OF the daily
press, eager for information with re.
gard to the advance of this fearful dis
ease, and read with bated breath as
they learned that it numbered its vic
Tins by the tens of thousands.
If it was matter Of such deep and
universal concern that in Spain 1O1,-
900 souls gave up their lives to this
fell destroyer, should it not also be a
matter of some interest to our own
people that, within the borders OF
the United States, over 81, per,
sons die each year OF pulmonary on
sumption?-that twelve out OF every
hundred deaths are caused by a dis
ease which though slow in progress. is
as sure in it's results as cholera itself?
Should it ever transpire that some
means of prevention should be found,
by means of which people would be
rendered proof against the disease, or
at least could be cured when at once
it had set it's seal upon them, would it
not be one of thegreatest Doons vouch-
safed to man since the introduction Of
vaccination?
Inventive persons have from time to
time thought that they had secured a
sure cure, if not an unfailing prophy-
Tactic; and, at the present time, since
the discoveries of Koch, all sorts OF
parasiticides are being used to kill the
germ of the disease. The unfortunate
bacillus is now being hunted down
with pneumatic chambers, deep in
halations, and local applications in
PRODUCED by means of the hypodermie
syringe, with the results that are, to
say the least, uncertain.
But, after all the years OF research
devoted to the subject, and out OF all
the methods Of prevention and cure
that have been suggested, the one that
has given the best results, and is now
being universally adopted, is change Of

of the Agricultural College for the fiscal

reports. These papers, with the report Of

Some True Snake Stories.

L have always had q passion for
hunting snakes. 1 suppose living in
the country among them is the cause
of it.
In my boyhood 1 loved fishing, and
an old romantic broken-down mill-dam
was favorite spot where, with my legs
dangling over the side, / would sit for
hours watching my cork bob up and
down on the water. One sunny spring
day, while in this position, felt some
thing hitting at my bare legs, but my
eagerness in looking after nibble pre-
vented my discovering for some time
that several angry snakes were making
target OF me. How quickly L jumped
up, increasing my terror by tumbling
on big copperhead coiled up behind
me, I'll never forget, nor the fight l
then had, tearing half the dam down,
before L succeeded in DISCRIMINATING
the nest of seventeen snakes that / had
been sitting on so contentedly.
Another time, while bathing in a
beautiful brook in the woods, noticed
a large fish Topping in the shallow
water just above me. l had moment
before captured with my hands ten
inch trout that had foolishly hidden in
a crevice in the rocks, and without
thought of the danger before me 1
rushed, naked of course, to grab this
second one. l got within a yard of it
before l saw that an ugly, four-foot-
long black racer had it in its mouth.
The snake dropped the fish, and with
uplifted head and darling fangs went
for me. taking mean advantage my
defenseless condition. As 1 retreated
hastily q water snake that was basking
beneath stone in the water luckily
shot between my feet, causing me to
look down and see small stone lying
there. Picking it up hurled it at my
rapidly advancing and dangerous
enemy with such good aim that / cut
him nearly in two. In triumph l bore
him and the fishes home, but never
went swimming there again without
taking a good look for snakes first.
Once 1 was high in a cherry tree,
and as drew in fruit-laden branch a
big snake glided into my arms and
brushed my face as he dropped to the
ground, more frightened than / was.
He was probably charming the birds
when interrupted.
Many times I've hunted snakes on
the edges of ponds, and on one occas On
killed twenty-seven. They made q
horrid pile, and, as the tails live till
shutdown, they presented lively APP
pearance.
I've found snakes in the cellar, and
once, during. a terrible thunder storm,
on going upstairs, put my hand on q
big black snake cooled around the
bannisters.
One morning / came across two
snakes of different species fighting each
other. The larger one was swallowing
the little fellow, and to save its life 1
killed the big one.
