The Rattlesnake a Coward.

ga ratt'esnake is the biggest coward
in the world, said John Kent, ofSwamp
Run, Clinton County, Penn, profess
sional hunter of rattlesnakes for their
hides, grease and rattles, in the sale of
which to city and country dealers he
saws he has built up quite a big trade.
"rhe rattler would be scared at his own
shadow if he could see it, and would
try to run away from it, until he found
that it stuck right by him. Then he
would stop and try to fight it. When
he made the discovery that he couldn't
sink fang into the shadow he would
settle the whole difficulty by turning
his poison on himself and committing
suicide. Some people say that the rat
tlcsnake won't commit suicide. L say
he will. I've seen rattlers put an end
to themselves dozen of times, but never
when they were in captivity. Why that
is can't say. If you have rattlesnake
Gagged up you may put all sorts of indig..
mites upon him, and, while he will
work himsefinto n rage that is more than
terrible to see, somehow he won't let
his feelings so far overcome him rs to
bite and kill himself. 1t is different
when he is met with on his native bar
rem and cornered up. He won't, as
general thing, put an end to himself un-
til he has exhausted all means at hand
in trying to get out of the trouble he is
in, when his rage seems to get beyond
his control, and he twists his head
around and sets his fangs in his body
right over the heart, and III less time
than you could kill him he stretches out

Revolutionizing the Steel Industry,

A firm in Chicago, engaged in the
manufacture of tin cans and japanned
ware, las patented an invention which
competent judges say will revolutionize
the iron and steel industry of the world
Patents have been secured in the lead
ing countries of the world. 1t is, in
brief, process by which molten metal
may be rolled into any desired shape,
thus saving all intermediate processes
1t was invented originally to roll molten
solder into thin plates, but the process
is pronounced by experts to be equally
applicable to iron and steel in its various
forms of plate structural iron and rails.
1t is believed that the cost of manufac-
turing steel rails can be reduced to the
extent of ten dollars per ton, and that
thin iron plates for timing can be made
much below the cost of production of
tin plates in Wales, thus making n new
industry i'll this country. The molten
metal is passed between rollers, which
is chilled as it passes, the rollers being
kept cold by stream of water which
passes through them. Another advan-
tage is that iron and steel so rolled will
be much more even and closer in texture
than that made by present methods,
being free from the air holes which
result from the intermediate processes.

dollars which Law to their credit in the

dollars which Law to their credit in the
savings bank. After he had regarded
the elder of his grandchildren uninter-
ruptedly for the better part of II minute,
his little family were mildly surprised
to hear him say, in the words which he
had employed on the day of his dis
charge from the pickle factory:
''Lieschen, pring your grandfather
some peer.
The child obeyed with alacrity, and
Mrs. Werner seemed cheered by this re-
newal of habit which her husband had
followed during more than thirty years.
Werner took the pitcher from his little
granddaughter when she returned, look.
ed rehe lively at the beer, and then
emptied into it n paper of paris green
which he took from his waistcoat pock
ct. Having so done, Werner softly agi-
tated the pit her, in order that the pois-
on might be well stirred up, and calmly
drank the contents
For the rest of the day the discharged
pickle maker sat smoking at the wn-
dow, while the family wept. Mrs. Wer-
ner would have given notification of her
husbands s act, and would have summon
ed medical assistance, but he command
ed her to the contrary, and she had
long been accustomed to acknowledge
his will as law. The poison sickened
him, but seemed unlikely to produce
any more ser Gus result. Werner waited
patiently until o'clock in the after
noon, and then once more summoned
the little Lieschen, whom he instructed
to procure for him another pitcher of
beer, and to stop on her way to the
paint store and buy five cents worth of
paris green.
"You tole der boss dot was for rats, !"
said Werner.
Mrs. Werner went into paroXysm OF
sobb:ng, and the child was frightened
and unwilling to do the errand, but the
authority of Werner prevailed, and
Lieschen brought the beer and the poi
fon duly. Werner drank the beer, all
but single glass, without admixture.
Into the last glass he poured the pow
der. Holding his pipe in one hand
and the deadly dose in the other, he was
about to drink, when his wife struck the
mixture from his grasp and it was spill
ed upon the floor. Werner contem-
plated his wife in placid sorrow, and
then turned his attention to the glass.
A thick green mess remained Mt the bot
tom of it. He took up the glass and
swallowed the poison at a gulp.
1t was then about 4.30 O'Clock, and
Werner stretched himself upon the
kitchen floor and closed his eyes. Mrs.
Werner sat by him, torn by conflicting
emotions. Whenever she or the chill
dren moved rs though to summon assis-
tance he commanded them to deslst.
None of them dared to disobey him. 1t
may be that man less obstinate would
have died more easily. This one died
at last. At 10 o'clock that night the
spirit left him, and his wife and grand
children went sobbing with the story to
the police.

No Checks Cashed or Money
Loaned.

"You have probably observed in your
travels" said the hotel clerk, 6" the sign
hung out at the cashiers desk in all
leading hotels; No money loaned or
checks cashed here = Those signs are
hung out to pro, ect the hotel from dead
beats, and they serve the purpose to n
certain extent. We make q mistake now
and then, as was the case here couple
of weeks ago. An old codger came
along with an old-fashioned satchel, and
he looked so hard up and rusty that l
gave him the poorest room in the house,
and asked for deposit of five dollars.
He made it, and l gave him no further
attention. At the end of week he
came up to settle his bill, and when
gave him the figures he pulled out q
check book and filled up check for the
amount.
"'Can't take it, I said, as 1 showed il
back.
'Why?'
"Got beat too often
"'But it's good.
"'Maybe.'
"'Well, L have no currency, and must
pay you by check; very few people re-
fuse them.
"'Look here, old fellow l replied,
my mad coming up, 'if you think to
beat this house you will get left Either
come down with the bill OF you'll go to
jail!'
"He tore up the check, filed in an
other for 100000 ON Chicago national
bank, and handed it over, with the re-
mark:
"'PIease step over to the bank and
ask them to assure themselves that this
would be honored in Chicago
81 went over to national bank, and
inside of an hour Chicago had answered
that check signed by the old man fol
half million dollars was as good
as gold. / had made q mistake in

A Desperate Mothers Ingenuity.

From gentleman who resides in that
vicinity was obtained Ia It night the de-
tails of n most rema k Lble rescue from
death that took place at the farm of
Wendell Russell, about three miles from
Venice, ILL.,, Monday afternoon. Mr..
Russell, had removed the pump from
the well to make some repairs, and had
partially covered the aperture with
boards. A little four-year-old boy play
ing in the vicinity got on these boards
and fell through. one of the boards
going with him. His mother heard the
cries and rushed to the rescue. There
was about twelve feet of water in
the well, and the distance from the
top to the surface of the water
was about fifteen feet. She could
see the little one clinging to the
board and floating on the water. No
assistance was at hand and she was
thrown on her own resources. Her
wits worked quickly and she acted with
great promptness Securing stout rope
which was near at hand she fastened one
end of it tightly about the body of her
nine-year- old daughter and then let her
down to the water, where she grabbed
the little one and shouted to her mother
to pull her up. Her mother could not
do it. While it was comparatively
easy matter to lower the girl steadily
and to hold her, it was quite another
thing to hand her up, and IL mothers
strength was not equal to the task. She,
however, found way out of the dilemma
With few words of encouragement to
her loved ones clinging to each other
Just above the surface of the water, she
made the rope fast above and ran to get
ladder that was lie ming against the
house. This she let down the we'll, but
it reached but little below the sur.
face of the water, and there was nothing
for it to rest on. She secured stout
piece of timber and placed it across the
top of the well between the top rounds
of the ladder. She then went down
herself and helped the children up st.

Prize Farms.

The National Agricultural Society of
France has awarded n gold medal to Ar
thur Brandin, of Seine ct Marne and to
NJ. Tetard, of Saint ct Disc, for the ex-
cellent management and cultivation of
their farms. The Brandin farm has been
in the family for upwards of 200 years
and its records since 1920 were produc.
ed. just 100 years ago it grew an aver
age of twenty one bushels of wheat or
oats per acre, which rose to 26 bushels
in 1870 Shortly after, commercial
manure was for the first time employed,
and the yield of wheat went up to 32l
bushels per acre and of oats to Al bushels.
subsequently the land was drained, gu
ano was applied and artificial grasses
were prown and fed down, but the aver
age of the wheat crop dropped to 30
bushels, though the quality was better.
This system was followed until 1870
without improvement in yield, when
the soil was analyzed and found to be
rich in potash but deficient in phosphor-
ic acid and lime. These elements were
then supplied, tests were made to Sc
cure the varieties best adapted to the
land, and the yield per acre for the last
seven years has risen to 96A bushels of
wheat and 60 bushels of oats. M. Te-
tard's farm of S12 acres, half way be-
tween Paris and Chantilly, has 80 acres
in sugar beets, the yield per acre of
which, as well as their sugar content,
has steadily increased. The average
yield of wheat on $50 acres in 1887 was
30 bushels per acre. A large herd of
cattle is kept during the winter to con-
sumo the beet pulp, in addition to which
the cattle get some cottonseed meal o1
cake, with about six pounds per head oy
wheat straw, chaff or corn fodder,
