WOMAN AGAINST SERPENT.-One of the
most perilous battles between woman and
g large boa constructor occurred at Grand
View last evening. About7 o'clock, as Mrs.
81. N. Strait, the wife of h. N. Strait, de-
scended into the cellar their residence when
she was started by loud hiss aud two fiery
red eyes looking directly at her. Returning
with lamp, the lady discovered a large
snake coiled around piece of wood Tax
ing e coal shovel in her hand, Mrs. Strait
prepared to do battle with the monster. The
first blow seemed to infuriate the reptile,
and with q loud hiss, it sprang at the now
thoroughly alarmed, but brave woman. A
blow from the shovel knocked the thrust
aside, and with the rapidity of lightning the
snake again prepared to strike. Five con.
secutive times did the huge monster retreat,
and then plunge through the dimly Lighted
air at the woman who was so nobiy delena'
ing herself At last well-drected stroke
knocked the reptile to the floor, and seemed
to stun it for moment. The gllstenlnS
eyes had now become two fascinating Daiis
of flame, and the great fangs worked with
awfll velocity. Following up the blow,
Mrs. Strait succeeded in killing.the boa. and
with fast failing strength she reached the
door above where help soon reached her.
MIR. Strait is in Wyoming Territory, where
he is largely interested in newly discover
ed mica mine and his wife was alone with
the servants. party of neighbors were
summoned and the snake carried into the
woodshed. 1t proved to be a boa constric'
tor, and measured eleven feet and eight in-
ohes from the head to the tip Of the tail. 1t
is supposed to have escaped from some man
agerie, presumably the London circus, which
is now at Armourdale Kansas City Tracet-

Fresh Air.

"But would you have us sit with
windows open during the cold weather."
inquiries an anxious pale-faced reader
(She probably habitually wears wrap
about her shoulders, and is in constant
fear of drafts
Not necessarily, though it is good
plan to have a boarl placed across the
lower part of each window, so that it
may be kept raised enough to allow the
air to enter freely between the sashes,
yet without striking directly upon
anybody who may happen to be sitting
near. If you will only open the win
dows every time you leave the room,
allowing them to stay open long enough
for the air to become fresh and pure,
and yet warm again by the time you
re-enter it, that will be sufficient.
At night, i'll this latitude, excepting,
perhaps, during the very coolest
periods of the year, at least one win
dow should be open in or very near to
every sleeping-room, if only enough
so as to admit air between the sashes,
as before described. In ordinary
weather healthy people ought to ENJOY
having their bedroom window open
for half its height. If there is plenty
of fresh air admitted register may be
wisely kept open also, as thus the cir
culation is promoted, and violent
changes of temperature avoided. Never
mind if some valuable heat does go to
waste; be sure that you viii receive
far more than its worth in health and
strength.
Windows in sleeping-rooms should
be kept wide open as much of the time
as possible, when the apartments are
unoccupied; and, while other chamber
work should be done as soon as it can
be managed after breakfast, beds
should be left to air several hours, if
they can be conveniently allowed. The
ar in bedrooms is oft n obseurelv
foul, because the bed does not get
proper airing. Never go to sleep in a
room where you have Teen sitting for
hours, without first seeing that the air
in it is thoroughly changed before

Is Marriage a Failure?

A writer in the New York Star says
If Eugene Wetherell, Emma Abbott's
husband, who died a week ago: Il
knew Gene Wetherell. | think he was
the luckiest man | ever saw in my life.
| ran the Springfield, ull.) opera house
one season, shortly after Wetherell
took charge of his wife's company. lie
was anxious TO leave town early one
morning. The company was expected
the next week. He was on his way t.
Kansas City and had stopped over to see
about tntling matter his advance
agent had overlooked. He want
ed to take an early morning
train, but the clerk at the no.
tel forgot to call him. When
| saw him at the hotel office about 3
o'clock he was storming around like
wild man. He said he had a real-estate
trade in Kansas City that lie would
have to attend in person, and this de-
.ay might cost him $4,000. While We
were talking a dispatch came for him
from New York, telling HIM of pros
pectlye fall in a railroad stock he was
Interested in. 1t would not have
reached him if he had taken the train
lie closed out his stocks at profit OF
5000. That afternoon he took the
Western train. | didn't see him for
three months after that. lie told me
then that his delay of few hours in
Springfield. instead of harming his
trade, had made the real-estate seller
more anxious to dispose of his proper
ty than ever, and he bought it y GOO be-
low the price first agreed upon. Alto
gether that hotel clerk made 81 600 for
him. ! believe that if he had stuffed
his knees and fallen on the pavement
he would have found a 800 bill. Weth-
erell left nearly $2,000,000 in property.
1t certainly seems as if it was better to
/ be born lucky than rich, doesn't it ?"

EXPERIENCE.

The world was made when man was born,
He must taste for himself the forbidden springs I;
Je never take warning from old-fashloned
things.
He must fight as boy, he must drink as
youth
He must kiss, he must love, he must swear to
the truth
OF the friend of his soul he must laugh to
The hint of deceit in womans eyes
That clear the wells of Paradise
And SO he goes on till the world grows old,
Till his tongue has grown cautious, his heart has
grown cold,
TIL the smile leaves his mouth and the ring
leaves his laugh,
And he shirks t'>e bright headache you ask him
to quan.
He grows formal with men and with women po-
lite
And distrustful OF both when they're out of his
sight;
Then he eats for his palate and drinks for his
head,
And loves for his pleasure ard tbs time he were
dead

SCALDED TO DEATH.
Four Chinese Laundrymen Lose Their
Lives in u Boiling Geyser.

Lives III u bOlilnS eeyseT.
News was received at Cheyenne,
Wyo.. on the Sd, OF n most singular ia
tally, by viii n four Cinnamon lost
their lives. They were in Canyon City,
near the Yellowstone Park, and Yet
Sing had established wash
house in a tent directly over
boiling spring. He had hot wa
ter constantly, and was doing good
business in the new mining town. He
and the three other Mongolians who
came from adjoining camps celebrated
the Chinese New Year. They burned
fire crackers and offerings to JOSS, and
wound up by getting drunk. Yet Sing
had been cautioned about the boiling
spring and told that it might be SUM
boring geyser. For this reason his wash
tubs were kept on the other side of the
tent so that no soap might disturb the
quiet Of the boiling water. No one
knows Just how Yet Sings box
OF laundry soap got overturned
into the boiling spring, and it is more
than probable that some mischievous
miner emptied the soap into the SUM
boring gevser. That night there was Il
sudden spouting Of boiling water, tent
fiyiRg through the air and some pierre
ing wells. The miners rushed up and
found the geyser pouring water to the
height of over a hundred feet. The
bodies of the four Cinnamon scalded to
death were found later at some distance
from the scene. The geyser spouted for
three hours and then subsidized
