A Big Kentucky Snake.

Kentuckians frequently see snakes,
but they do not often encounter such a
monster as was reported to have bccIi
seen by several reliable parties in the
vicinity of Center Furnace, on the Cum
berland river. James Armstrong, q
prominent farmer OF Lyon County, while
out hunting, came across the reptile,
which he says is at least twenty-five
feet in length. Its body was partially
concealed by the underground, and he
had seized club and wondering how he
could attack it, when a kissing noise
caused him to look up and he beheld the
monsters head reared up about five feet
above the earth as it gazed at him, its
forked tongue hanging out. He says it
would have fought him had he not re-

Sit erect in your chair when reading,
and as erect when writing as possible.
If You bend downward you not only
gorge the eyes with blood, but the brain
as well, and both suffer. The same
rule should apply to the use of the mi
croscope. Get one that will enable you
to look at things horizontally, not al

Have reading lamp for night use.
n. BIN regard to reading the light
should be on the book or paper and ths

reading lamp turn your back to tho
light, and you may read without danger
to the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus; If that

AN ING ENIOUS TRICK.
How Reading Written Matter Through an
Envelope Is Done.

Envelope is Dths.
Ore of the pulling tricks performed
by so-callod public mindreaderS, or
olairvoyants, is an extremely simple de-
ccption. The performer standing on the
stage asks several persons in the audi
encc to write each sentence on a slip
of paper and seal it in an envelope. OF
course the stationery is furnished and
afterward collected. One Of the audi.
ence is confederate and writes SEN
tcnce agreed upon beforehand. When
the assistant goes through the house
gathering up the envelopes the confed-
crates contribution is carefully put
where it will be the last one of the lot to
be taken up.
The performer picks out an envelope,
and, after feeling of it, with much ccre-
mony pronounceS the sentence agreed
upon, and the confederate in the audi
ence acknowledges that he wrote it. To
confirm this the performer tears open
the envelope and repeats the sentence as
though he found it on the inCloSed
paper which is in reality another mans
sentence, which he reads, and then,
picking up another envelope and fun
bling it over, he calls out the sentcn Ce
he has just read. The one who wrote it
says it is right, tho performer tears open
The envelope, reads what is in it, and

And yet she couldn't help but please
Kind hearted old grandfather.
He shared her sorrow and her play.
And was her faithful slave all day,
From early morn till bedtime.
She had him up and dressed before
The buinble-bees were hummiug,
And kept him wide awake till DER
The lea the COWS were coming
Such walks they took Such romps they had
That little rogue was never glad
When darkness came and bedtime,
But when the summer twilight fell
On wood and fragrant meadow,
And sleeply old Blossoms bell
Changed In the purple shadow,
Granifather'd seek his old arm chair
And call from meath the hopvines there:'
"Come, Lucy, dear, it's bedtime"
Into his lap she'd scramble fast,
And there with sleep would wrestle,
Until the curly head ut last
Would on his bosom nestle,
How gently have seen him rise
And say, with love ia voice and eyes:
"Mamma, it's Lucys bedtime"
One night he called her not but still
And motionless was sitting,
Though cried the plaintive whippo'will
And bats went dimly fitting,
But when the red moon fired the dew
Across the lawn to him she flew
With: "Grandpa, why, it's bedtime"
Oh, Youth and Agedl Oh, Death and Lifel
