Rev. DR.. c. w. Parker, a respected
preacher Of this place, says Bremen (Ga.)
letter to the Atlanta Constitution, is
authority for the following tale:
'Dr. l. N. CLANCY used to practice medi-
cine In Carrollton. He now keeps hotel in
Bremen. He went to Carrollton the other
Day in his buggy, and while there traded an
Did debt for good horse and started out
TOR Boston in his buggy, leading his new
horse.
when he was nearing the Little Talla-
poosa river bridge at Kingsberry's mill he
suddenly heard a roaring among the tress
ne instantly supposed to be storm. Look
ing up the hill he saw the forest in commo-
ton and the trees falling and bending toward
him, and In the midst huge body which
proved to be snake. The doctor put whip
to his horse and was quickly on the bridge
Feeling the buggy jerk he looked and saw
the snake swallow the horse he was lead
ing and plunge into the river just above the
bridge, and just as the snake poked his
head out on the other bank of the stream,
his tail still up on the side of the hill, his
body reached clear across the river.
''The horse, having on new shoes, kicked
through the stomach of the snake, and tbs
snake stopped and the stream was damned,
and the water rose and f1oated the snake to
level with the bridge. The doctor jumped

cutting the hole larger where the horses
feet were sticking out Of the snakes body,
the horse founced out and mounted the
bridge. The doctor secured him to his
buggy and drove on, but by this time the

BRAVER THAN MEN.
Women Endure Pain Much Better an
Face Death with More Calmness.

Women Endure Pain Much Better and
Face Death with More Calmness.
In the course of recent interview DIR.
Shrady, the editor of the Medical Record,
and one of the physicians who attended
General Grant in his last illness, was asked
whether his experience as a medical man
had led him to believe that death is pain
less.
Speaking generally" said he, "the
death agony is very rarely attended by pain,
because the system is always prepared for
death by weakening of the vital forces, by
the circulation of impure blood through the
. brain and by the obtunding of the nerves
OF course, some people have more pain than
others, and this is largely determined by
temperament
"a nervous man-all other things being
equal-suffers more pain than man who
has enjoyed robust health, because the
nervous mans sensibilities are stronger. but
the pain Of death is more in the anticipation
Of it than in the reality The instinc: for life
is stronger in man, and the teachings of the
present day, as well as the writings of our
novelists, do not make the majority of men
any the more ready to relinquish life
Men OF education face death with
greater fortitude than men who are not ed.
ucated. Philosophy has a great deal to dc
WIN VIC a. VI Oy ing, dltHouBh Lne Clr1S-
tian religion has been great comfort to the
human race in preparing the way for death
and ia giving hope of life hereafter,
amounting in some cases almost TO a realt
zation of better country beyond the line OF
time
"Women are almost always pluckier than
men. They endure pain much better. Have
you ever observed how irritable a man is
whOis suffering from toothache or neural
gia, but woman will often suffer withouts
murmur. All other things being equal q
woman will face death with more calmness
and fortitude than man, which NAV be
partly accounted for from the fact that the
instinct for life is stronger in man, and
his habits and surroundings have trained
him not to give in so easily.'

THE KINGS DUST.

" Thou shalt die" the pr est said to the King;
" Thou shalt vanish Ike the leaves Of spring;
Like the dust OF any common thing
One day thou upon the winds shalt blown
!" Nay, not So" the King said. 81 shall stay
While the great sun in the sky makes day;
Heaven and earth, when do, pass away.
In my tomb 1 wait till all things goT'
Then the King died. And with myrrh and
nard,
Washed with palm-wine, swathed in linen
hard,
Rolled in naph tha-gum, and under guard
OF his steadfast tomb, they laid the KING.
Century fed TO century; still he lay
Whole as when they hid him first away
Sooth, the priest had nothing more 10 say,
He, il seemed, the King, knew every thing.
One day armies, with the tramp OF doom,
Overthrow the huge blocks OF the tomb;
Arrowy sunbeams searched its chambered
gloom,
Bedouins camped about the sand-bloWn
srot.
Little Arabs, answering TO their name,
With q broken mummy fed the flame,
Then a wind among the ashes came,
Blew them lghtly-an the King was notl

The Decent Way in Which the Sad Az
fair Was Conducted.

Ialr was COnduct0o,
Another of the queer characters in White
Horse camp was man known as Lem Hill.
He was, says the New York Sun, as mild as
buttermilk and as dull as hoe, and no one
ever thought of asking his advice or inter
esting themselves in his affairs. One day
he took sick, and after a period lasting
about three weeks it was seen that he must
die. 1t was deemed best that some one
should break the news to him, and so
Judge Kelso dropped In and said:
Lem, you are going to turn up your toes
before another sunrise
The judge didn't mean to be sudden or
unfeeiing, but that was his way
II guess an," quietly replied Lem.
"Weil, that pint being settled and no ex-
ceptions taken, what last request hev ye
got to makei We want to do the fair
thing, you know, althoughit's busy time"

-"You kim

"Yes.n

beside the French1nan. / guess we WON'T
quarrel"
'sYes, Wen do that, thoughts purity hard

NEEDN'T mind going over a couple OF
feet" said Lem, "and the fellers with the
body had better take the left hand path as
they go up; it's easier to climbn
"Got any wealth. asked the Judge, after
moments silence.
"a couple of ounces, mebben

that, but we can't help il. Well, Lem, it's

"Oh, certainly not Don't neglect work

ssWell, I'm sure couldn't ask for more,
and perhaps it's better thar could expect

And the Judge left the shanty whistling
over an hour before word came TO US down
in the gulch. The funeral came on the
next morning, and it has always been
pleasant remembrance with me that the
judge did considerable better than he
agreed to. He gave two sulogies in place

A Poetic Language.

The language Of the Firms is peculiarly
adapted to poetic form. The fexibility Of
its construction, the variety and pict-
uresqueness of its expressions, the abun-
dance and originality of its figures, all tend
to made it the fit vehicle of that poetic in
spiration which the Finn receives from his
5nvironment-the long, dark stretches Of
birch and pine forest, wreathed with gar
lands and fringes Of hchens, which in this
northern climate are particularly beautiful,
and whose somber shadows form telling
background for the leaping cascades and
waterfalls, clad in their white mantle Of

The prope length of time to stay at tea
has never been defined. Elderly society
women who are past the rush and activity
Of their prime and only go to one tea in an
afternoon, sometimes settle themselves
comfortably In an easy chair and stay two
or three hours Chatting with their friends as
they come and go. Busy society leaders fly
into the house, sip cup Of tea, stay Ava
minutes, and dart out again, oaIy TO be
driven rapidly TO another place, thus going
to three or four teas IN an afternoon.
