An Odd Variety of Water Snake.

An odd snake was discovered by O.
+. Williams, of Partillo, Ca, who sent
it to DR.. Ellis brewery, of Griffin.
The body of this snake is no larger
than a very small knitting needle, yet
it is fifteen inches long. 1t seems to
be very lively snake and is coiled
around some plants in q jar of water.
The movements of the little fellow,
and the fact that it remains most Of
time under water, would indicate that
it is a variety Of water serpent.-Pitts-

The small sized advertising man with
the Brobdignagian mustache ard the
two-ton cane is nothing if not digniiied.
but his dignity received 4 royal shock
one morning not long ago. He resides
over near the domicile of one James
Hitchcock, who has achieved batting
record in the drug business second &c
none Mr.. Hitchcock owns an emerald
parrot which has remarkable command
of language, and on fire days this parrot
is given a place in the front window
overlooking the sidewalk. 1t was fine
day when the small advertising mar
passed the house, wearing his Niagara
mustache and auditorium cane. The
parrot was in the window, and as the
hero of our story walked by with great
dignity the green parrot said: Glow
dive do, little boy:" The advertising man
was taken aback, but lie replied: How
dive do, Polly lie did not really mean
it, however, as he was somewhat sore Oh
the parrots reference to his size.-Chi'

into it, the stout threads twinins around
your face like Q veil. while, as the
creature who has woven it takes up his
position in the middle, lie generally
catches you right on the nose, and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact of his large body and long legs

The Usc Of Arsenic.

The effects Of the continued use OF
arsenic have been the subject of so much
discussion of late that the following, an
experts opinion, will be read with inter
est: "DIy experience in its medicinal use
has been very considerable, and my i'm
pressions as regards its effects when long
continued are certainly very different
from what we have recently seen so free.
" expressed. I never knew a patient
become fond of arsenic, or experience
agreeable effects from its long continu
ance. On the contrary, nothing but
anxiety to be rid Of a loathsome skin
disease will induce the majority of those
for whom it is prescribed to continue
taking it."-Once a Week.

Asa raa!!e-tha meat eater lives more
rapidly than the vegetarian, is muchnore
likely to overfeed and give his excretory

there is 10 doubt that most OF us eat toe
much meat for continuance of health.

been carefully fed and nurtured, and

probably most dangerous in badly killed
