A lesion taught by the Charleston
earthquake is, that when shock comes
the best thing to do is to stand still just
where you are. There is no running
away from it there is no lodging it,
In a falling house you have u chance,
but in the streets you have little. Nine
tenths of the killed in Charleston were
killed in front of buildings. out of which
the people rushed in the wild panic.

A Kentucky Snake Eater.

A correspondent writing from
Lexington to the Cincinnati Com
mercial says: Mr.. G. f. McMeen, of
this city, at time connected with
the Kentucky Stock Farm, has quite
a .ocal reputation as an eater. 1 had
long talk with him, and he says he
has eaten along the whole line of
dishes-American, English, German,
French. and Italian. He appreciates
oysters in all their forms, chickens
and tender forelegs, and when real
hungry can tackle cornbread, SOW

the gods smack their lips in genuine
satisfaction, give him fat black snakes

son he eats them every few days.
He also classes snails among his list
of delicacies. These he cooks with
macaroni. ''when did you first COM
mence eating snakes" asked the re-
porter. 'In 1858 1 was in Californ-
Ia among the Indians. They ate
snakes, generally black and rattle
snakes. L once tasted a piece of the
latter, which they had cooked. 1
found it had delicate flavor, but 1
did not then like the idea of eating
snakes. This repugnance 1 found
was only an idea, there being no rea-
son for it. l came home to Frank
lin county, KY, in 1859. While at
home l went out i'll clearing near
my fathers house, and saw an old
Irish hermit, who had resided there
many years, kill q black snake. He

THERE is no dodge about the Re
publican platform proposal to sub
NIT the liquor question to vote of
the people. 1t is the only way to
settle great question. If the peo-
pie vote the proposed temperance
amendment down there is an end of
it and the liquor traffic will be sub
ject to government under the law as
at the present time. If the prohibi
tionists expect to carry the State for
a prohibitory amendment, they had
better quit fooling with the nomina
ton of temperance candidates for of
flee, and go to work to secure pub
lie sentiment that will bring them
voters when the amendments are to
be voted for or against. What they'll
need will be voters on the question.
They will need to have the people,
that is, the voters, educated up to
the belief that they no longer shall
make currant, elderberry, and black
berry wines and so forth, and not
drink strong cider. II they can get
the people to drop the manufacture
of such wines their way is clear to
the securement of an amendment to
the State Constitution to abolish the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
drinks, but such sentiment can't
be manufactured by running men

and can compel the payment of labor and
costs from the holder OF the polluted lands.
No average farmer or good citizen should
require official notice from an officer to make
him cut the Canadian thistle before it ri
pens its seed. few hours work at most
would cut II on any average farm, and the
holder Of any land should cut 1t for his own
protection. 1t Is destructive Of all crops
when it gets rooted in fields, and its downy
seeds are waited hIther and thither to pol
lutte all neighboring lands.
Supervisors OF public roads are also re-
quired, by the new law, to cut the Canadian
thistle on or along all roads or uuseated
lands In their districts. and in case Of fail
ure, they are liable to fine of ten dollars,
to be recovered for the use of the psrti es
about to be injured by such neglect OF re-
fusal The present is the time to destroy
the Canadian thistle pest, and every occu-
pant OF land should willingly and promptly
obey the law.

it was fine food, and invited me to

it in salt and water for a while. He
then fried it in butter and lard, and
it was really delicious. The more 1

time have had weakness for snake
meat, especially black snakes. I am
afraid of the meat of rattlesnakes.

from other places. An old man who

porter to his pressing invitation to

OK the evening of the 9th day OF
July, twelve or fifteen women of the

met Peter A. Rattington, editor of
the Herald, of the place mentioned,
as he came out of the post office and
belabored him with whips for hav-
ing published something uncompli-
mentary about them while they were
off to picnic. To his credit be it
said, he did not strike any one of
the fair sex that were belaboring him.
He might have done better if he had
hastily put his arms around each one

leg bail for the balance. Doubtless
he deserved all of the whipping he
received.

in Chicago that Spies, one of the
leaders Of the Anarchists lit the match
that fired the bomb that killed SO
many of the police in Chicago, when
they were trying to quell the commu-

higgle over such men as Spies and
his followers in Court 1t is crime
to society generally to waste time
with such murderous crowd, and
the Chicago courts do themselves in
justice and bring the laws for the
preservation of order, and protection
of life and property into contempt
by within holding speedy justice and
execution.

Love Saves the Indians

There is young lady in Carson
who is reported to be the greatest
beauty on the Pacific coast-or any
other coast, for that matter. She has
a lover, a Lieutenant in the army,
who is very devoted to her. He is
down in Arizona fighting Apaches.
Three times a day-mornirg, noon
and night-she writes him a II page
letter, and once day she sends him
a long telegraphic despatch, to all of
which he responds in like manner

the inability of toe troops to catch
up with the Apaches. The Lieuten-
ant is probably heading the pursuit
of the hostiles. But, of course, his
letter writing occasions some delay

The Canada Thistle.

The determination of the Canada thistle
is of such importance that it is claiming the
attention, of even city journalists. The
Philadelphia Times in speaking of it says /:
The farmers of every community should
sternly enforce the law of oath April, 1885,
forbidding all citizens from allowing the Ca.
nian thistle to go to seed on their premises.
1t is one of the most pestilential weeds of
all that now pollute the fields Of the far
mers, and il spreads from the thriftless to
the land of the thrifty with fearful rapiiity
The law of 1885 provides that any person
holding lands by lease or otherwise, who
shall allow the Canadian thistle to 20 to seed
on their premises, shall be fined fifteen dol
lars to be paid TO the school fund of the dis
trict. Any citizen who is likely to be injur-
ed by the spread OF the pest from his neigh
bor's lands, may give notice to have the
weeds cut before going to seed, and if not
done the constable or supervisor is required
to enter upon the property, cut the weeds

THE gold bugs in the commercial

the people of the United States can
avert the financial calamity that the

that is to be certain to send no gold
bugs to Congress. To be certain to
send only such Congressman to
Washington that will vote for a
double standard, that is for both
gold and silver as medium of ex.
