A Snake That Drinks Whiskey.

Mr.. Owen Hatch, who keeps a
small grocery store in this neighbor-
hood, can vouch for the truth of this,
says the Birmingham Age: Mr..
Hatch sells liquor as well 'as family
groceries. Kicking only a small
stock of liquor on hand, ne keeps it
in jugs. One day last week two
gallon jug of corn liquor was left sit
ting on the floor behind the counter.
Mr.. Hatch stepped behind the coun-
ter and was surprised to see a large
black snake coiled around the jug
with its head inside. He watched it
for a few moments and soon discov-
cred that the snake was drinking
liquor. 1t was not disturbed, and,
after several minutes, it slowly I'M
coiled itself from thejug and attempt
ed to crawl away, but it was too
drunk, and stretched itself out on the
floor, where it remained, apparently
asleep, until next day. Mr.. Hatch
examined the jug and found the
snake had drank more than a quart
of liquor. Two days later the snake
returned, and, when it crawled under
the counter Mr.. Hatch watched it.
By coiling itself around the jug and
giving its neck twist around the
stopper it was able to remove the
cork and again thrust its head inside
and began to drink liquor. 1t was
allowed to drink its fill again, after
which it was killed.

Some Valuable Hints for an Appropriate
and DecOrous Demeanor.

SUNNI 'diuduie minus lot an appropriate
and DecorOus Demeanor.
No gentleman will interrupt a
clergyman in the midst of his dis
course to ask for the text.
A Christian gentleman will not as
sault the choir-master until after the
benediction.
The morning paper should be left at
home, and never, under any circum-
stances, be taken to church to be read
while the collection is being taken.
Do not glare at the stranger in your
pew who has. made the mistake Of
reading from your favorite hymn
book.
Conceal your contempt for the per-
son who puts meager dime in the
collection plate.
Should the church be insufficiently
heated put your handkerchief in your
mouth. The chattering teeth of a
congregation is apt to razzle-dazzle
the rector.
Do not dissent from your clergy

SWISS EATING HOUSES.

Excellent Institutions Which Prevent
Want In the Little Republic.
During my recent vacation had an
opportunity of visiting one OF the
"Cuisines Populaires" that are coming
to be u peculiar feature of some in
dustrial centers in Switzerland. In
1871 while a socialistic congress was

Neuchatel, one of the speakers said:
"All the arguments in the world will

ing man as a good plate of hot soup"
These seeds were sown on good ground,
for a month later the first popular
Kitchen was opened, and similar in
situations are now to be found in other
parts of Switzerland.
The one | visited h as capital of
10000 ($2, 000) francs, 1000 frances of
which has been paid in, and the shares
are held by very nearly 1000 persons.
1t owns the building it occupies, which,
though by no means palatial, is amply
sufficient for the purpose. On the ground
floor there are two dining-rooms, large
enough to accommodate from 600 to
900 persons, smaller one for women,
sitting-room and an Office. The es-
tablishment is run on strictly cash
basis, but instead of paying with
money customers settle by means of
checks, which can be purchased in any
quantities, and it is not unusual for
workm en- to purchase these checks in
sufficient quantities to last them a
month. Three meals are served up in
close succession, and as no one is al
lowed to remain at table after he has
finished his repast the institution is
able to feed about 1900 people daily.
The prices charged are as follows:
Soup, one quart, three cents; half
quart, two cents; meat, boiled or roast,
one-fifth of pound if the latter, a trifle
more If the former, five cents; wine two
cents a glass, three cents per half pint or
S"SA'S ~Shen iVR ~ quartz Oh IdJlUu Vi
bread, one cent. So you see a person
can have a square meal, composed of
bread, meat, vegetables and glass of
wine (and may add that this latter
article is of good quality and sold
pure) for twelve cents. The institu-
ton not only supplies its customers
with meals, but also sells them cooked
food to carry away with them.
These cuisines populairs also furnish
the public schools of the town with
soup gratuitously and with bread at
cost price. The managing committee
are supplied with certain number of
checks that they can give away as they
please and all food left over at the end
of each day is distributed to the
poor. N o. Picayunc.

FIGS AS FOOD.
The Most Nutritious of All Fruits Except
the Olive.
-Arkansaw Traveller.

The Most Nutritious of All Fruits Except
the Olive.
One of the Persian kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason,
to remind him that the land where
they grew was not yet his, and that in
stead of receiving the fruit as tribute,
he was obliged to buy it from abroad
and, for another, that it was not only
the emblem of health, but the most
wholesome fruit grown. The zig is
now pretty well known to be, especially
at certain seasons, almost the common
food of the Italian people; and for
months they may be said to live en-
tirely upon it. AS DR.. Nichols says
it is not only possible for man to live
upon figs, but sitting under his owl
vine and fig tree, a man has plenty o.
food and no landlord. When eater
fresh the fig is medicine as we'll as
food; and they who eat freely need nc
potions and no aperients. Full of nu.
triton and all those properties thai
make it valuable as an article OF diet.
we are confident that the fig will take
prominent position in the estimation
of all who work for and believe in food
reform. For myself, l would simply
add that. again and again, without
liquid of any kind, the luscious green
fig. eaten with whole-meal bread, has
formed dish at once simple but rich.
and like the Spaniard's salad, fit for a
king. The fig is not only very popular,
but it is the most ancient fruit We cul.
tivate. In many countries the failure
of this crop also means starvation and
famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and
southern Europe provide themselves
with figs and olives as provisions for
long journeys. and not only live, b,t
grow fat on the diet. The fig has more
medicinal properties and more nutri.
ment than any other fruit with the ex.
ception of the olive.-Interior.

CHINESE MEDICINES.
The Efficacy of Precious Stones In Curing
Desperate Diseases.

Desperate Diseases.
The medical art in China is mysteri-
GUS and empirical. The medical pro-
fession is regulated by rules almost the
opposite of those which prevail in
England. In China the doctor re-
ceives fixed salary as long as his
patient is in good health. If the
patient falls ill the doctors pay is
stopped until cure is effected. In
England sick person usually tries to
assist the doctor by explaining the
symptoms of his case. In China this
would be considered an insult to the
doctor. The doctor may feel the pa
tents pulse, examine his skin and
look at his tongue; but he may ask no
questions. He is then expected to
diagnose the disease from which the
man is ailing and to prescribe
remedy. The medicine prescribed is
usually cheap and very nasty; but
some drugs are high priced; and there
are certain precious stones which are
believed to be of wonderful efficacy in
curing diseases. One OF these expen-
sive prescriptions consists of very
costly ingredients. White and red
coral, rubies or jacinth, pearls, emer-
aids, musk. with one or two earths in
special quantities, are crushed into
powder, rolled into pills with gum and
rose water, and coated with gold leaf.
This unique medicine is reported to be
an infallible cure for smallpox, meas
les, scarlet fever, and all diseases
which arise from blood poisoning and
break out in cutaneous eruptions.
The Strengthening qualities of this
preparation are said to be quite re-
markable. The Jesuits, who -four
ished in China in the early part of the
present imperial dynasty, affirm that
they have seen men snatched from the
last commissions of death by its judi
! cious use.-Chambers Journal
