A Suggestion to parents.

1t is by no means infrequent that
the papers of the country are called
upon to record sensational incidents
in which the moral character and
habits of young girls are involved
which suggest most emphaticany
the inattention they must have re-
ceived from their parents at the age
when they most needed a parents
advice and counsel. Whenever
such cases end in a tragical manner
the remark is invariably made:
Where could their parents have
been? The question may well be
asked, but it is rarely that satisfac-
tory answer is returned, or that
other parents are led to direct their
attention because of it to their own
children.
In the cities of this country it is
a common every-night occurrence to
meet scores of young girls on the
public streets idly promenading up
and down. 1t is probable that nine
out of EVERY ten of these are prop
er enough girls in their hadits Of
life and well meaning, but in view
of the dangers which bsset their
paths from their being out without
male or parent protector,it some
times seems remarkable that their
parents do not see these dangers and
ward them off. It is not at all inn
probable that many proper-mind
ed young girl has turned off into the
first path of fwrong-doing while inno-
Gently promenading, as a habit
nightly followed, the public streets.
Where there are crowds Of light
hearted, and ready-wittod girls.
whose love of fun and adventure
outruns their discretion, there is
sure to be an equally large crowd Of
middle-aged and young men ready
to address them and initiate them
into new ways, which. all thinos
considered, it is just as well they re- re
mained in ignorance of.
1t is not our intention in this ar
ticle to create an impression that the
girls whom we have referred to indi-
scrlmlnately are reckless and dissi-
pated as a rule, but it is important
that the attention of parents should
be again called to the natural dfrec-
ton the habits of young people take

there would be less use for the In
dustrial Schools and like establish
ments if there was less streef.woll-
ing at nights, fewer cheap dances
and the exercise Of greater fore
thought and caution on the part of
parents. We commend this line of
thought to our readers whose rb;I-
dren come and go as their tastes de-
termine.

that he had used bundle of long
straw for a seat on his "stone boat"
he hastened to get it, and setting it
on fire cast it over the brush.
In an instant the whole pile was one
blaze, and he then witnessed a scene
which he says no one would ever
care to behold again. The heat was
so intense that none of the reptiles
could possibly escape, and they roll
ed out Of it black, blinded, and
scorched, biting at everything they
touched, and in most instances died
with their fangs fastened in their
own charred Enthusiastically pre-
ferring suicide to death in the fame.
Some darted from the outside the
fire, madly striking at the flames,
until their bright black coats had
been turned into an ashen gray by
the heat. In fifteen minutes a
smouldering stump was all that was
left of the brush pile. He was about
to leave the spot, when he ventured
to look into the stump, which was
hollow, where, covered by a thin
layer of ashes, lay no less than a
bucketful of snakes, resembling huge
sausages in large crock, roasted
just hard enough to cause the flesh
to drop of.

Snakes in Trouble.

Mr.. Will. Weller, residing about
two miles south of Middleburgh, Pa.
at the foot of Shade Mountain,
while engaged in clearing a piece of
new ground on his farm ON Tuesday
of last week, was terribly annoyed
by the number of black snakes on
the patch. Some he killed but
great many escaped his brush-fork,
and nearly all ran in the direction of
large brush pile in the corner of
the patch and close to bank over a
spring which was covered by thick
growth of underbush, He conclud-
ed to investigate matters a little and
it did not take him long to satisfy
himself that he had struck colony
of the reptiles which had taken har-
Dor under the pile of dry brush.
He noticed particularly large
one basking in the sun Il few yards
from the place, and he proceeded to
get a rail from the fence with which
to despatch it, but in doing so he
broke one of the stakes on the fence.
The noise caused by the breaking of
the stake evidently aroused the
aleoping reptiles, and he witnessed
perfect volley of snakes darting from
under the thick mderbush into the
brush pile. He stood rivited to the
spot with astonishment, and looking
up saw no less than twenty snakes
of all sizes sticking their heads out
OF the brush pile. Remembering

Mary Norval had no difficulty
whatever in proving her right to the

to dispute it. 1t was her desire that
her cousin should not be prosecuted
for the part he had taken in the ne
furious transaction. She increased
his allowance to double the amount
that had been left him by his father.
He did not live long, however, to
enjoy it, for he died of delirium tre-

1t Was Not a Success.

Just before Eckson and his wife
started on their bridal tour, Eckson
said:
"We want to show people that all
newly-manied people are not silly"
Eyes, we do, Henry"

let us not pay any attention to each
other"

and act as if we have been married

"Yes. Oh, I tell you what would
be the funniest idea in the world,
Henry. Wen take different seats,
and after while we'll get acquaint-
ed. Won't that be nice ?"
"First-class splendid"
When they boarded the train they
took opposite seats. Henry took up
Il newspaper, and Mollie looked at

while Henry looked up and saw the

chuckled. Thinks she's in love

gladly consented, musing that he
could play even with his wife. A
few moments later, while he was
busily talking, he saw, with a thrill
of revenge, that his wife was look
ing at him. AT the next station the
young woman got off the train, and
when the conductor went out Henry
sat down by Mollie.
