Mystery OF uor.ehaIr Snakes.

Have any Of our readers even thrown
a horsehair into a basin of water and
waited patiently for it TO turn into a
snake2 This seeming absurdity is thus
explained by a writer in The Hartwell
Sun:
''Our friend asked us IL we didn't
want TO see a horsehair that had turned
TO a snake. We did, and he drew a bottle
from his pocket filed with water. in
which was what appeared TO be a dimin-
utive snake. five or six inches long,
writhing and twisting as if anxious TO
escape from the bottle. When put In the
bottle il was nothing moro than q hair
from a horses tail
ut was then explained that the hair
does not undergo change, but that invis-
ible animalcules that generate in the
water collect on tho hair and make 1t
twist and sluirm after the manner Of o
snake or worm. It is held by good
authority that many Of these called ami
malcules have been shown n be plants.

A SONG IN THE NIGHT.

Fair Natures face was yelled in darkness drear
Anc gloomy silence lowered DER the earth,
Where ersi we're sounds OF busy life and mirth'
wber from a willows boughs low bending near
A nigbtingaies sweet song, SO full OF cheer,
Went floating through The lonely midnight
shades
n seemed a message from some brighter sphere,
Where all Is JOY and sunlight never fades
Thus Oft In sorrows dark and dreary night,
When not a genial ray upon us glows,
Hopes cheering voice we welcome with delight,
Which In the gloom such solace sweet bestows
Unheeded soon the darkness rolls away,
And oDce again we hail the perfect day.
