Hunting Rattiesnnkes.

Up in Berkshire county. Mass, the
rattlcsnake is hunted every summer
for his oil, which sometime s fetches SO
an ounce. Here is q description of
the way the Yankee outwits the ser.

Choosing a hot summer day, the
rattlesnake hunters saunter forth.

Lumber in the Long AGO.

Lumber figures now and during the
war furnish a wide difference. Then
the highest figure received for rough
flooring boards, eight inches and up
wards in width, was SI3. and for COM
mon and dimension $40. For very
long lengths | received as high as $50
and $50 per 1000 feet. | remember
furnishing the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad with 100 car loads of material
in 1865 at Sl2 per NJ. There was no
inspection or grading in those days,
everything being sold straight meas
ure. The first lumber brought TO this
market from other states was Us early
as seventy years ago. coming from the
Allegheny regions Of Pennsylvania
Pittsburg lumber continued TO find a
market here until 1855, when the COM

A Touching Obituary.

The following lines are copied from
the obituary column of a rural New
York journal:
1T is with deep regret that we
chronicle the death Of Oh. M,
Of, New York. He passed away on
Monday morning, March 25th, after
an illness of little more than three
days. We had been acquaint-
ed for live years. We began in the
poultry business at the same time,
both buying Wyandotte eggs of the
same man. The writer soon gave up
the breed and kept only Langshans.
But George kept his Wyandottes,
bought only the best, bred carefully;
and though we have e e many fine
birds, we know of few which lay more
and larger eggs or breed finer chicks
than his do. We have had many
fowls and eggs Of him, and would as
quick trust HIM as ourself TO ship eggs
or TO select stock. "-Harper's Maya

The Grand prise Of Paris.

II is now more than a hundred
years since the fashion OF horse rae.
ing was introduced into France from
England. History has preserved the
name of O French horse named liable,
belonging to the Prince of Guemene,
who i'm l776 had the honor of beating
several opponents that had been
brought over from England. The
following year races took place at
Vincennes, at Fontainebleau, and on
the Plainc DIES Sablons, but the pro-
moters Of these first essays were only
able to organize their undertaking in
a documentary manner; they did not
even lay out "A regular course. The
revolution interrupted the races.
Napoleon | re-established them, but
they only came into use, they began
to take considerable development only,
between 1880 and 1910.
In iS}G was created the Jockey club
stakes. or French Derby. Old sports.
mel yet remember with delight the
joyous life they led during the week
of the Derby. The Paris Grand Prix.
is Of a more recent date. 1t was found,
ed in 1863 for three-year-old horses.
Since then il has been run regularly
each year except in 1871, the year Of
the Commune. Twenty-Five horses
have come of conquerors in this trial,
the most renowned and most numer-
ously attended lace in our country.
OF these twenty-five winners thirteen
were born in France, ten in England,
one in Austria. and the last in the
United States. These results show
that the International character given
the rae on its creation has been well
preserved. The stakes, without reck-
oning the increase caused by entries
and forfeits, which as a rule amounts
to about 40, 000f, are 100. 000f. OF this
sum the Vile de Paris contributes one
half and the five principal railway
companies the other. 1t is a timely
generosity, for the receipts which this
fete procures the town and companies
amply make up, on account of the
number of passengers and the great
ness of the traffic, for the sacrifice
which they have imposed on them
selves. Paris Ilustra-

Consolation for the Red Haired.

II may be consoling TO light haired
and red headed people TO read that
out Of lG5 patients at the Kirkbride
asylum only one has reed hair,
and only four have light hair and
complexion. We venture the guess,
however. that that red headed chap
makes matters as lively as all the
other iCi put together. h used to be
supposed that a pale complexion sps-
cially marked tendency 10 mental ex-
citement and brain disorder. The sta
ustics, however, show this TO be an
error. What is true Of men is also
true Of women; they are, with one ex-
ception in fifty, dark haired and dark
hued. Il is sometimes the case that
tho hair turns white with insanity.
Probably the error ros from this fact.
Tho reason why dark people are more
inclined 10 mental disorder has not
been explained. Medical Classics.

Loves tho Laws Delay.

There is one man in 81. Louis who
appreciates the laws delays. His name
is Dierberger, and in May, 1888, he
deliberately shot and killed a man in
a horse car. On his first trial he was
promptly convicted Of murder in the
first degree. The supreme court revers-
ed the Judgment There was new trial
and he was sentenced 10 twenty-five
years imprisonment That sentence
seemed too severe TO Dierberger. He
appealed, got a new trial, and was
sentenced to ten years in prison. But
even this concession did not satisfy
him. The case was taken up on ibis
renewed appeal, and was compromised
on one year in Jail and $1,000 fine.
Let Others speak slightingly Of the
laws delays Dierberger will always
say they saved his life.-Boston Tran
