would fain dip my soul
In the heart Of lily fine; d
The lily would breathe ringing
Song Of this love Of mine,-
A song that would thrill and quiver
With all Of passions power.
Like the kiss that Loves lips gave me
In a sweet and wonderful hour.

Out of my sparkling tears there spring
Red roses and lilies pale,
And my signs come back In the melting tones
OF silyery nightingale
And II thou lowest me, sweetheart mine,
To thee win bring each flower;
The nightngale's tremulous song of love
Shall thrill meath thy latticed bower,

Under a Serpent's "Spell."

II. P. Hedden, who resides southeas.
of Denison, Texas, brought to that city
recently his little child Sallie to be treated
for snake bite. About o'clock in the
morning the little girl left the house with
a pail on her arm to gather wild black
berries near what is called Stone Spring.
The child was expected to return home
in few minutes as the family was to leave
early to pass the day with neighbor.
The child being absent something over
an hour, Mrs. Hedden proceeded to the
spring. The child was not there, and
the mother called her name loudly several
times. Receiving no response, she left
the spring and walked into the black
berry patch to hunt up the child. Pass
ing through the patch she saw scene
which made her scream and almost faint
with horror. The child was seated on a
rock and circled in her lap was large
rattlesnake. The child was caressing the
snake, whose head was slightly elevated
and moving to and fro. Sometimes the
snakes head would almost touch the lips
of the child, who pushed it away, with
out appearing to anger the srake. The
child was completely under the spell of
the serpent that it paid no attention to
the mother, who screamed so loudly that
her husband heard her quarter of a mile
distant and hurried to the scene. When
Mr.. Hedden appeared the snake placed
itself in attitude of battle and the air al
most seemed to vibrate with the noise Of
the rattler. Mr.. Hedden advanced upon
the snake, the child fell back as if in a
swoon, and the snake struck it on the
thumb of the right hand, and then sprang
at Hedden, who killed it with rock. He'd
den sucked the wound, which he is con-
fident saved the life of his little girl. Sal
eratus was also applied to the wound. The
hand and arm of the girl were but very
little swollen when she was brought to
Denison for treatment. The child states
that she was sitting on the rock picking
berries when the snake appeared, and
that she was unable to move when she
looked at it: that she was afraid of it;
that whenit waved its head to and fro in
her face she felt like going to Sleep

Queer Things That are Patented.

There is claim IN the Patent Office
for patent on the Lords prayer, the
specifications being that the repetition of
the same rapidly and in loud tone of
voice" will cure stammering..
Among odd inventions are "chicken
hopples, which walk the chicken right
out of the garden when she tries to
scratch; ''the bee moth excluder, " which
automatically shuts up all the beehives
when the hens go to roost; ''the tape
worm fish hook, which speaks for itself;
the educational balloon" toy balloon
with map of the world on its surface;
''side hill annihilators;" stills to fit on
the down hill legs of horse when he is
blowing along side hill; and the chen
surpriser," a device that drops the newly
laid egg through the bottom of the nest,
with intent to beguile and wheedle the
hen into at once laying another.
One of the latest patents is an auto
matte bath tub, which starts the hot and
cold water at given moment in the
morning to which it has been set, main
tains exactly the right temperature of it
by graduating the flow of water, rings a
bell when all is ready, and, two minutes
later suddenly drops the sleeper's pillow
about foot and turns him out.-Louis-

Ballast That Cheats the Pilots.

About year ago the most disagree
able task in the life of Sandy Hook
pilot was to board an incoming Norwe-
gian, italian or Portuguese ship. Then
life became misery, for not only was
the unlucky pilot compelled to dine on
the yilest hard tack and macaroni three
times daily, but he was also guyed by all
his shipmates. Since then times have
changed; foreign vessels are now the
most delightful craft when compared
with the fifty-two English and German
steamships which carry petroleum in bulk
to European ports. They probably are
accorded more forcible condemnation
than all the others combined. Previous
to sailing from abroad these vessels, by
means of steam, are pumpedsfull of salt
water, which make free and service
able ballast. When within 200 or 300
miles Of New York, if the weather is
propitious, the shippers who rival the
keenest Yankees in shrewdness, set their
pumps working and in short order rid
their ships Of their worthless and easily
obtainable ballast. When the clipper
pilot comes aboard with expectations Of
catching twenty-five footer he is cha.
erined to find that the pumping-out
| process has ,lessened the draught OF the
vessel and his fees so per cent. or more. -

''Ask Miss Pole TO step up here, No

Of the curious ''cashes."
And in a moment or two Fanny was
confronting her customer of the day be-
fore--yes, and Harry Gale, the foreman
in the printing office, too.
She could only burst into tears and
confess her guilt.

clared, afterwaTd, ''if it hadn't been for

''But what else could she do9" said
George Miller. "Would you have her
lie, up and down, as you didl"
"They asked me plain question, "
said Lizzie. 81 am not liarw
Mr.. Birch replaced the damaged article
with fifteen yards of the newest, freshest
black silk in the store, and Miss Pole was
discharged, with the price of the greasy
silk deducted from the salary due her.
And it was not only her situation that
she lost, but her lover into the bargain;
for, after this development of character,
Harry Gale saw no more beauty in the
yellow meshes of her hair, the Undine-
like glitter of her blue eyes.
Mrs. Gale had the black silk dress
made up by the village dressmaker, and
wore it with modest pride to church.
SITS all ready now for Harry's we'd
ding" she said, with smile, to her son.
'I don't think there'll be any occa-
sion at present for it, mother" said the
young man.
"You've given up all notion of that
city girl, then3" said Mrs. Gale. "Well,
I'm real glad O. that, Harry. Deacon
Fuller's niece Sally is the prettiest girl
know"
$50 she is, mother" acquiesced the
printers foreman. ''And she is as good
and innocent as she is pretty. I've al.
ways liked her since we went to schoo,
together"
He married Sally Fuller, after all
and Mrs. Gale never knew who the "city
girl" was whom she had dreaded with 6
vague sense of apprehension. And there
was no prouder or happier mother thar
she when she wore the new black sill
dress to Harry's wedding.

Executions by Carbonic Acid.

Application has been vainly made to
Mr.. Edison and various electric light COM
panies to provide for the killing of stray
dogs by electricity. In Europe it is well
known that for this purpose carbonic acid
gas is often used. That reminds one that
a clever chemist the other day ridiculed
execution by electricity as crude and
bungling method of quickly and humanely
depriving a human being of life. The
really scientific way to cause death is by
carbonic acid gas. All the apparatus
needed would be to have built one air
tight cell above another, with connect
ing tube and stop-oock between them.
The gas, which is very cheap, should be
put in the upper chamber, and the pris-
oner, with good cigar, if yqf like; on a
lounge, in the lower. On: turning the
cock the gas would descend. and first
slumber and then death would enNe very
quickly and absolutely painlessty. Com
pared with this the electrical appliances,
with helmet and foot pieces, and damp
sponges, and chair specially constructed
are absurdly elaborate and curiously bar
barous.-Boston Transcript.

of the last fifty years has been railroads,
