The BLUEGRASS Girl.

The limestone and blue grass together
determine the agricultural pre-eminence
of the region, and account for the fine
breeding of the horses, the excellence
of the cattle, the stature of the men, land
the beauty of the women; but they have
social and moral influence also. 1t could
not well be otherwise, considering the
relation of the physical condition to dis
position and character. We should be
surprised II rich agricultural region.
healthful at the same time, where there
is abundance of food, and wholesome
cooking is the rule, did not affect the
tone of social life. And am almost
prepared to go further. and think that
blue grass is a specific for physical
beauty and certain graciousneSS of
life. 1 have been told that there is a
natural relation between Presby-
terianism and blue grass, and
am pointed to the Shenandoah
and to Kentucky as evidence of it. Per-

it exists, is too subtle and the facts are
too few to build theory on. Still, l
have no doubt there is distinct variety
of woman known as the bluegrass girl.
A geologist told me that once when he
was footing it over the state with a
geologist from another state, as they
approached the bluegrass region from
the southwark they were carefully eX-
imining the rock formation and study
ing the surface indications. which are
usually marked on the border line, to
determine exactly where the peculiar
limestone formation began. Indica-
tons, however. were wanting. Sud-
denly my geologist looked up the road
and exclaimed: "We are in the blue
grass region now" 'How do you
know?" asked the other. "Why, there
is a bluegrass girl" There was no
mistaking the neat dress. the style, the
rounded contours, the gracious person
age. A few steps further on the geOlO-
gists found the outcropping of the blue
limestone.

ERRORS ABOUT SNAKES.
Facts Evolved as to Their Modes
of Life and Action.


The Madras Mail contains copy of a
paper by Lieut.. Ferguson on snakes.
King Solomon acknowledged that there
were three things which are too won
derful for me, yea, four which | know
not" and one of these was ''the way of
a serpent upon rock" and for years
the mode of progression of snake re-
manned to men of science as much
mystery as it was to Solomon. 1t is
thought that the absence OF limbs is a
great disadvantage to snakes, but the
fact is their ribs take the place of limbs,
so that instead of having two pairs,
they sometimes have over 200. Arts
totle thought they had as many
ribs as there are days in the
month; but, in fact, the number
varies and reaches 400 in pythons. The
movements of the snakes ribs have
been likened to those of a caterpillar'S
legs. Each vetebra supports pair of
ribs which act like pair of legs, hav
ingsthe extremities connected together
by a broad plate; the hind part of this
plate is free, and when the ribs are
moved forward this end is raised so that
it takes hold of any roughneSs or irreg-
ularity of the ground. When rapid mo-
ton is required some portion of the
body III front gains a purchase by
means of the central shields On some
projection in the ground, the ribs are
drawn together on alternate sides,
throwing the body into alternate curves,
some portion of the hinder part of the
body gains a purchase and the
fore part is Strengthened out. 1t
is an error to think that they
move forward i'll series of YER
tical coils, or that they move with "a
pidity. Mr.. Ferguson once followed
large snake, and found smart walk
sufficient to keep up with it. Nor do
snakes exercise any fascination over
their victims. Pepys alleged that they
elected poison on larks in full flight so
that they fell into their mouths; but, in
fact, chickens, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits
and hens show no fear of snakes when
given to the latter in cage. A hen has
been known to roost on a python, and
one has been known to peck at "a snakes
tongue in motion, evidently taking it
for an insect or worm. When it has
killed its prey, either by construction or
poison, the snake is supposed to sail
yate or lubrlcate the meal by means of
it's tongue. This is not the case, as the
tongue is too small to lubricate the
tiniest bird. The snakes moves its
head about the prey, feeling with
its tongue for the right part to begin

ty, was entered at night, the
safe taken ont of the house,
! blown open and something over
$1,000 which had been deposi-
ted with the manager, j. r.
Pool, by the stockholders to
buy cotton, taken out. Shortly
afterwards a man by the name
Of Gepnart, a blacksmith, who
ran a shop at that place was
charged with the crime, arrest
ed and put in jail at Kennett.
On last Saturday night a body
Of masked men, about thirty in
number. went to the Jail, forced
the jailer to give up the keys
and Gehhart, and our further
information IS that the masked
men took Gcphult to a tree and
tried to force a confession from
him by hanging him-some five
times they strung him up-and
on being let down he stoutly
denied all connection with the
matter, and asserted that Pool
was the man who got the money.
The mob being unable to force
anything more from Geb-
hart, released him but gave him
hours in which to get ont Of the
county. Instead of going Geb-
hart went to the house Of Mr..
Price Tribble and remained I'M
til morning, then went and put
himself in charge of the sheriff,
saying he had no reason to
leave and wasn't going to DO it.
Gephart is not the only one
who believes Pool got the mon
ey, and from the best informa-
ton that we are able to gather,
We are very much inclined to

money will sooner or later have
