A SMART TERRIER.
She Is Bitten by Rattlesnake and Cures
 Herself

Herself.
 Among the valuable dogs owned by J. F. Coope, of Ben Lomond vineyard, is a family of thoroughbred wire-haired ter riers, says the Santa Cruz Surf. These little creatures are very bright, and among other achievements are quite ex- pert at snake-killing. That they have an intuitive knowledge not only how to kill snakes, but how to heal themselves if a snake gets the better of an en- counter, was proved not long since by an incident noticed by some of the em- ployes.
 The mother terrier having discovered rattlesnake ready coiled for spring, placed herself at safe distance and be- gan barking loudly for an assistant. One of her family of terriers responded to the call, when the two dogs placed themselves one on either side of the rat tler barking at it and slowly approach ing it from opposite directions until within about striking distance for the serpent. The exasperated rattler at last sprang at the younger dog, when the mother in great fury bounced upon the
 
 about midway of the body and shake them without mercy until life is ex- tinct.
 In this case the mother terrier at- tempted the usual mode of procedure, and was fairly successful, but the fangs of the snake in some way struck her, in- flicting a wound. 1t was evident to those watching her that her sufferings began at once, but she did not lose her head with fear. She made for bunch of snako weed not far off and ate freely of it. Her next move was to pool of water that made small muddy spot. Into this she plunged, rolling herself about in every direction and covering herself with mud. The on-loOkers gave her up for lost, but the canine physician had healed herself, and the next morn ing was entirely al. -' ht, as if she had nevsr met his rattlesnakeship in deadly combat.

Boring for Honey.

A successful boring for honey has been made in North Tennessee. For many years swarms of bees have been noticed by boatmen on Fox Bluff, on the Cumberland river, near Franklin, Ky. The bluff is one hundred and seventy feet high, and the rivers channel runs directly under it. The bees have been observed about a big Assure near tho center of the bluff, and the opening could not be reached from above or be- low without great danger of being stung to death. As the bees had never been robbed, it was believed large amount of honey was stored in tho cliff. Be- gently a well-borcr visited the bluff and was at once impressed with the idea that he would reach the wonderful honey storehouse with his drill. After some coaxing, he persuaded number of farmers to undergo the expense, and a three-inch hole was bored from the top of the bluff. At depth of eighty-five feet tho drill struck the honey. Barrels and tubs by the score were filled and carried off to neighboring farms, and the sym dicate has sent to Louisville for more rCceptacles.

One of nnrdette,s Jokes.

It is told concerng R. J. Burdette that he once received a letter enthUsiastical- ly praising him as the writer of tho verses beginning Out on the borders of moonshine land He wrote three or four pages of grateful acknowledg- ment, flattering the taste of his corre- spondent, and saying that he always thought himself that those were very good verses. He signed his name, then he added: ''P. S.-J didn't write those verses. They were written by my friend, James Whitcomb Riley"

The Invention of IL Yankee.

NORWICH, Nov. 2J.-Some months
ago Willard 4. Lucas, son of Mr.. Samuel
Lucas, the wool manufacturer of Poque-
rannuck, had his right hand severed in
his fathers mill, aud since, Mr.. Lucas,
Sr., who has inventive genius, has used
every effort to replace the missing men,
ber with a, useful substitute az posi-
BILE. After visiting or writing to the
most prominent makers Of artificial limbs
in America, he learned that it was in
vain to search, either in this country or
l;urore, for al artificial hand that could
be used in doing work. Thercupon aIr.
Lucas determined to make hand him
self; but he ioi!ed persiatenty day and

cessful. He has produced sn aluminium
hand that is very much like an o!d-,ime

are all perfect in shape and appearance,
and the joints beH.i like those of The
human fingers. It is smaller than the
natural hand, but with it q man can do
