SNAKES SWALLOWING YOUNG.

have, on at least four occasions,
stood by and witnessed a whole
family Of young snakes disappear
down the throat of the mother. She
did not swallow them; she just lay
straight with open mouth and allowed
the youngsters to go down her gull
let with wonderful rapidity.
On such occasions the mother
snake evinces the fearlessness and
tenacity of most wild things when
trying to save their young. She will
remain quiet at the risk OF her lite
until the last wriggler has been taken
in, and then do her best to escape.
And it always seems to be the case
that at such times she happens to be
mighty handy to a good hiding place
such as a ledge Of rocks, a hole
among old roots, or if water snake
where she can flop into the water in
an instant. Promising that I was

taught from my earliest recollection
to regard serpents as not only harm
less and useful, but beautiful as well
Gall save the rattler). | will briefly
narrate the incidents above alluded
to.
In the first case was called by a
sensible mother, who admired rather
than feared serpents. to come and
see the little snakes h de-" hurried
to the spot, and this is what | saw.
A large gartersnake stretched at full
length, and a lot of tiny snakes rap
idly disappearing down her throat.
My mother meantime had united her
apron, and, as the last little snake dis
appeared, she quickly grabbed the old
snake and enveloped it in the apron.
1t was taken to the house and placed
in an old lumber chest, where it was
found the next day with twenty odd
little ones around it, and again they
took refuge in the mothers stomach.
AS our curiosity was satisfied, the
old snake was turned out in the gar
den to catch bugs. Take note, that
the gartersnake is oviparous.
Although snakes were very num-
erous in the region where my boy
hood was spent, and though most of
my leisure time was passed in buting
by flood and field, it was long before
| saw second incident OF the kind,
and this time the actors were water
snakes, supposed to be viviparous.
q say, supposed, for l am by no
means certain of it. The mother
snake was about the largest l ever
saw, and | came upon her suddenly
as | was fishing down a trout stream
very cautiously, of course. 1t was
evidently surprise, but she straight
ened herself, gave short, low hiss,
and lay still with open mouth. In
much less time than it takes to tell
it, lot OF little snakelings were rush
ing into her mouth and disappearing
with marvellous quickness. At that
time | was accustomed to handling
serpents-even rattlers, without fear
and, with some vague idea that she
would be prize, made dash to
capture her alive. 1t was rather a
failure. Instead of attempting to
dart overheard as | expected, she
faced me savagely, and, as l grabbed
her with one hand around the body,
she whisked her tail about my arm,
turned, and gave vicious bite on
the back of the hand. Although l
knew the bite was perfectly harmless,
it somehow looked so vicious and
dangerous that lost my grip and
allowed her to escape. 1t may be
worthy of mention that the slight
wound did not swell or become in
famed, and healed quickly.-F0reSt

BALD HEADS.

Thackeray somewhere makes the re-
mark that if you dislike man at start
ing, and continue your aversion, 1t is
curious what reasons you will find and
even advance in support of your view
his manner to his mother-i in law, or his
undisguised badness. Now, it is singu-
lar that twenty years ago badness was
much more noticed than now, and
forty or fifty years ago much more noti-
ced than then. There are several rea-
sons for this, but the most obvious is
that badness is now much more general
than it used to be. If we take up all
old Punch there are plenty of illusions
to this cause of annoyance.
Testy old gentlemen grow angry with
hair -dressers who unnecessarily allude
to what was thought an affliction. Pre-
cociouS children wonder at the fore
heads which their uncles display at the
back of their heads. In the old pam
tomimeS wigs were always falling off and
revealing Unexpectedly polished scalps.
One has but to let ones memory run
back, and endless illustrations of the
same truth recur. Those were the days
when men seemed afraid of being ven
eraEle, and an old beau was an object
rather of admiration than of reproach.
One cause was that those days fol-
lowed on the days when all gentlemen
wore wigs, and therefore no gentleman
looked bald. Tne eye was unaccus-
toned to smooth surfaces, and such as
were seen at once attracted notice. But
the maiu cause was that badness and
gray hairs were alike regarded as the
inevitable indications OF old age. Peo-
pie were not then accustomed to see
middle-aged men bald.
They are accustomed to it now. 1t
is curious how caducity has increased,
and the prevalence of it taken away
the old reproach. All the arguments
are against its existence, and all the
facts prove the arguments are mlslead
ing. People lead healthier lives now
than they used to do, and yet they are
balder. People lead longer lives, and
yet they grow bald earlier, and, more
over, it is the healthiest people who are
often the baldest. Indeed, it almost
becomes question whether in these
days badness is evidence to very re-
liable extent either of age or of delicacy.
OF the decay of vital power it is GER
tainly not conclusive proof. Consump-
tive patients and persons suffering from
lingering disease are not, as rule, bald,
and more frequently than otherwise
seem to put great deal of strength
into their hair.-London Globe.

Mr.. Newton gazed at his wife in
profound astonishment.
"What on earth do you mean Eliza
beth ?" he inquired.
"Just what say. The house is mine
and what is mine is thine. So the house
is yours, Ezra"
"Where in the name of goodness did
you raise the money!" asked her hus-
band, his amazement still as great as
ever.
Il haven't been managing wife for
ten years for nothing" said Mrs. New
ton.
With some difficulty Mrs. Newton
persuaded her husband that the price
of the house was really the result of her
savings. He felt, when he surveyed
the commodious arrangements of the
new house that he had reason to be
grateful for the prudence of his manag-
ing wife.

AN ENTERPRISING CROW.

Farmer Crowder had finished plant
ing his corn, but his heart was heavy.
He knew the crows were whetting
their bills to pull up the corn as soon
as it appeared above the surface.
"Ill tell you how to get away with
the crows" " said Neighbor Stokes.
"How?"
Get you a gallon of mean whisky
and soak some corn in it till it gets
full of the stuff, and then scatter it
broadcast in the field. The black
rascals will eat 1t and get drunk, and
then you can catch 'em and pull
their heads off That beats pizen or
shootin' -
In few days Farmer Crowder
met his friend Stokes.
well, how's craps?" queried
Stokes.
My corn's bodaclously rulnt,

A MARRIAGE MIDDLE.

"Many amusing incidents are met
with by clergyman in the performance
of rites matrimonial" said a reverend
gentleman to St. Louis Globe writer.
at was not long since 1 was called to
officiate at wedding which was i'm
promptu. The invited groomsman
failed to appear, and neighbor was
asked to assist, as the couple, both
having been married, were anxious to
get out of town and avoid charivari.
The emergency groomsman was ver-
dant, and grew so embarrassed that he
completely upset the nerves of the
bridesmaid. She had two tasks on her
mind-one to arrange her hustle, the
other to fasten bouquet to the grooms-
mans lapel. She got these mixed in
her mind, and pinned the bouquet first
on her hustle and then tore it 1mpa-
tiently off and pinned it to his coat tail.
They upset half the furniture and trip
ped the bride while adjourning to the
parlor. A lunch had been provided on
a tray close at hand, and when l asked
for the ring the assistant promptly
handed me biscuit. Seeing his mis-
take, for want of a better place he awk-
wardly put the muffin in the groom's
pocket, took the ring from his mouth
and handed it to the BRIDE, at the same
time pouring glass of wine from the
bottle at hand into a dusty piece OF
lovely Sevres china. Precipitation stood
out in great beads on his forehead, and
as soon as the ceremony was performed
he looked at the envelope in his hand
containing my fee, broke the seal, saw
the money, and, l guess, thinking either
that he had earned it or that it was in
tended for him, put it in his pocket,
handed me the empty envelope and
fled. The couple missed the train by
the delay, and when the noise of doz-
ems of inharmonious instruments broke
the happy couples slumbers that night.
l believe the groom would almost have
shot the groonsman. A little leaven
of embarrassment let loose in brid.l
party leaventh the whole crowd"
