Tho Snakes Charm.

A gentleman from Iowa says that one
day while going through his poultry
yard he noticed a turkey hen with neck
stretched to the utmost, eyes distended
and wings slightly raised, gazing most
intently upon some object on the ground
three or four feet from where it stood.
Watching it for some moments, he found
that the turkey moved slowly around the
attracting object in a circle without
withdrawing its gaze for a moment.
After it had made full circle he ap-
preached to learn the cause of its extra
ordinary behavior and found that the at
tracing object was small striped snake
partially concealed by some small weeds,
and not until hetouched it did the turkey
notice his presence, though ordinarily it
would not permit him to approach
within two or three yards. Even when
driven away the turkey persisted in re-
turning and working around in circle.
Other fowls were then driven in the
direction of the snake, and all on catch
ing glimpse of it were strangely af-
fected. Finally, satisfied that the con-
dition of the fowls on seeing the reptile
was purely an objective one, the writer
took a stick and approached the snake to
kill it. It was dead already and-most
noteworthy point of all-its head was
crushed out of all semblance to its orig
inal shape and covered with dirt.
The conclusion the writer reached was
that small animals passed into a sub
Jective or hypnotic condition on being
suddenly brought in view of serpents, OF
which all animals, great and small, ap-
pear to stand in dread. Accepting this,
he says, we have the fascination of birds
and small beasts by snakes as scientific
fact.-Popular Science Monthly.

The New AgaWam Mill.

We copy the following from the Daily
Rs1n6lfCaN, with our most cordial en-
dorsement.
The hosiery, underwear, wooden and
worsted factory to be removed from
Springfield, Mass, to selected site in
East Newport, employs some $50 women
and girls, and supplies long felt want
in and about Wilmington, by affording
pleasant and remunerative employment
to hundred of homes. The American
Hosiery Manufacturing Co., whose mill
is at New Britain, Conn, and whose an
nual output is about $1,000, 900, is the
only company in the country which has a
plant of machinery of more varied ca
pacity than that of the Agawam. In
pursuance of this company's contact
made few weeks ago, for the sale of this
valuable machinery to new company to
be organized here, they have duly en-
tered their subscription for 667 shares, or
500, 700 of the new stock, payable in 667
thousandths of the purchase price of the
machinery, and the subscription can be
now seen and supplemented at the office
of Messrs. Head 6, Co., who have the
subscriptions in charge. This places the
establishment of the new Agawam here
beyond all contingencies, save two.
If Wilmington capital is true to its en-
terprising antecedents, and will not post
pone its action beyond the period to
which the contract is limited, the city
may be assured of this valuable accession
to its noblest industrial enterprises.
On behalf of every Important interest
in which the growth and welfare of Will
mington is involved, we respectfully urge
the moneyed men of our city to come
promptly forward and subscribe for the
remainder of the total $500, 900. The
shares are $Ioo each, and 1883 more
shares are to be taken. Let our neigh
boring towns and cities be confirmed in
their past impressions that the industrial
metropolis Of Delaware never fails to
meet foreign capitol half way! That
which is ten per cent. better than a cash
capitol subscription of $500 is cor.
daily extended to our city, and OUR
wealthy citizens cannot fail to meet il.
Only $I33, 900 more is needed. We hore
to see this divided between ten Of our
strong and enterprising citizens, that in
a multitude of counselors there may be
wisdom, safety and success Of these
ten we should be glad to see on til list
inside of thirty days:
Newport enterprise. [volume] (Newport [Del.]) 1889-1???, 1889-03-02

While we have indicated above what
we should like to see, we beg leave to
finally suggest that the Board of Trade
call special meeting at which no other
business shall divert their attention, and
exercise their collective wisdom in devils
Ing the best method for getting this stock
taken in the shortest time.
Finally, we would again urge prompt
action in this matter as the only means
of bringing that important industry here;
because the old Agawam Company have
received pressing and more favorable
o ffers from several other parts of the
country. 1t is now possible to secure it
for Wilmington, in consequence of the
written contract secured by Mr.. Brigham
few weeks ago from the owners in New
York.
Considerable delay has resulted from
the persistent efforts of the company to
limit the period for Wilmington's efforts,
by change of the original contract,
that they might not too long imperil
their better prospects in other quarters.
Out Of regard for that compeny's impor-
tant interests in the matter, modifica-
ton of the contract has been consented
to, limiting our efforts to May Ist, next.
We feel confident that our Board Of
Trace will fully appreciate the necessity
of prompt action.
Let no competing real estate interest
entertain for moment the ungenerous
idea of obstructing this movement. The
Wilmington location is no longer an
open question. A written contract has
selected that question, and the lot is
settled and Donated The only remlin-
ing question is wilmington or some
other town."

Palindromes. the old days of SUI
perstition, this curious form ofletters and
words was regarded as charm against
evil. 1t is certainly wonderful that it
should be possible to construct whole
sentences which read the same when
read backward or forward. There are
not many such sentences, it is true, and
the old monks, who composed most OF
them, no doubt devoted many long
hours to their work before they deemed
it perfect. When it was finished it
seemed miraculous, and wild stories were
told to account for its existence. The
best palindrome is, probably, "Sator
aye1o tenet opera r0kaS," though the
meaning of the words is not clearly ap-
parent to all. 1t is generally thus ar
ranged:

S A T o R
A r E P o
T E N f T
o P E r A
R o T A S

This arrangement plainly shows how the
palindrome may be read in every way,
forward and backward, up and down.
In the books of magic formulas, which
may still be found in obscure places, it
plays an important part. "Raw was
ere saw war;" spells backward the same
by veteran of the sixties, who, going
back into his early history, assures us:
"Devil pap ere pap lived" had he.
Murder no evil: l live on red rum"
is sufficiently startling to be followed i'm
mediately by the wholesome advice,
olive not on evil" A natural palm

Gillig's Yreka Bakery" A man who
does not want the earth signs: 20, had
| Idaho |" and coy maiden whispers to
her lover: "Ned, | am now won maid
en-" One that comes down from the
ages is the palindrome made by an early
naturalist: s'Nod o torpid diprotodon."
An ungrammatical effort to avoid self
accusation is this: 81 did not rub part
tar on no rat trap, Burton, did IP'
''We don no dew" aver the fairies, and
Napoleon's "Evil Elba l may amiable
live," may be taken with grain of salt.
civil Asia is alive" is another recipro-
cal sentence in which the stock words,
''evil" and '1ive," play important parts.
And, finally, the stilted statement of the
angered maiden to her scolding mother,
Grail on, ma; am no liar !" closes a
list that may be an ancient one, but
which, on the other hand, may contain
one or two new pslindromes.

''Flash, = the Firemen's Horse.


Flash was white-foot sorrel, and run on
No. 81;
Not much stable manners-an average
horse to see;
Dull an moody an sleepy on ''off" and
quiet days;
Full of turbulent sour looks, an small
sarcastic ways.
But when bet day or night time, he heard
the alarm-bell ring,
He'd rush for his place in the harness
with regular tiger spring;
And watch with nervous shivers the clasp
of buckle and band,
Until it was plainly evident he'd like to
lend hand.
An when the word was given, away he
would rush an tear,
As il thousan' witches was rumplin' up
his hair,
An wake his mate up crazy with his
magnetic charm;
For every foot-beat sounded a regular
fire alarm
Never horse jockey would worship an
admire
Like Flash in front of his engine, racin
with fire;
Never horse so lazy, so dawdlin' an so
slack
AS Flash upon his return trip, a-drawin'
the engine back.
Now Flash got tender. footed, and Flash
was finally sold
To quite a respectable milkman who
found it not SO fine
A-bossing of God'sgcreatures outside o.
their regular line.
An once, in spite of his master, he
strolld in 'mongst us chaps,
To talk with the other horses, of former
fires, perhaps;
Whereat the milkman kicked him

If ever see driver whose traps behind
him flew,
Twas that old horse, a rompin' an
rushin' down the track,
And that respectable milkman tryin' tc
hold him back
Away he dashed like cyclone for the
head of No. 3.
Gained the lead, and kept it, an steerec

Crowds a yellin' an runnin', an vainly

Milkman bracin' and sawin', with never

He watched till he see the engine pro

After which he relinquished all interest ii
the affair,
Laid down in his harness, and sorry an

That's the whole o. my story; I've see
