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

Herself.
Among the valuable dogs owned by j.
L. ,oope, of Ben Lomond vineyard, is a
faulty of thoroughbred wire-haired ter
rlers, says the Santa Cruz Surf. These
iitl.e creatures are very bright, and
among other achievements are quite ex-
pert at snake-killing. That they have
an intuitive knowledge not only how ia
Kill snakes, but how to heal themselves
IL a snake gets the better Of an en-,
counter, was proved not long since by an
incident noticed by some of the en-
ployes.
The mother terrier having discovered
rattlesnake ready coiled for a 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
tier, barking at it and slowly approach
ing it from opposite directions until
within about ssriking distance for the
serpent. The eXasperated rattler at last
sprang at the younger dog, when the
mother in great fury pounced upon the
snake. The terriers seize the serpents
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
fiicting 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 snake weed not far off and ate freely
OF 1t. 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 gavo
her up for lost. but the canine physician
had healed herself, and the next morn
ing was entirely al right, as if she had
never met his rattlesnakeship in deadly
combat.

in Hot Weather.
"a good many sore faces" said we'll
known physician to q New York Sun
nian, "are caused every summer By
poisonous sweat bands in hats.
Some mon always insist in buying Derby
hats with enameled sweat bands, and il
they wear them during the summer
months mild sort of blood poisoning is
apt to result. AS mans head always
perspires very freely under the sweat
band of his hat the poison in the en-
ameling composition is softened and
released. But its unpleasant effects are
seldom noticeable there. The very fact
that tho ;Porspiration is constantly COM
ing out Of those particular pores pre-
vents the poison from going IN. But as
each little bead OF perspiration rolls
down his face it .is charged with the
poison, and If it happens TO run over a
little pimple or a place where he has
scratched his face or cut it with a razor,
the result will probably be unpleasant.
A dozen tiny pimples will appear, and
no matter how many blood purifiers he
doses himself with, his face will be
dotted with little sores, until he buys
hat with good sweat band. Straw hats
are seldom made up with the enameled
sweat bands, and that fact is another
reason why every man should wear
them in the summer. OF course, this
warning does not apply to all hats with
enameled sweat bands. Some of them
are perfectly harmless, but as it is i'm
possible to tell which are good and
which are bad without a chemical anal
ysis, and as chemical analysis would
spoil the hat, enameled sweat bands are
good things to avoid in hot weather."

Chick ems That Grew Fur.
,rrov, tho Naxv vorlr G,r

Ravenswood has a pair of fowls which
grow fur, as 1t is cabled, instead of feathers.
They are the property of Arthur Ritter, a
bird and dog fancier of that place. They
are a cock and hen, with black skin and
comb and pure white plumage. Mr.. Ritter
says he got them from an influential friend
who has connections In Japan. They cost
him sixty-four dollars. A dozen of them
were sent for that price, but ten died on the
oyage. Nothing like them, he says, were
ever seen in this country before. They are
rather small but very pretty birds, but the
eggs the hen has laid are larger than those of
any other species.
apiece. The two chickens weigh together
about seven pounds. The hair or plumage
with which they are covered Is long and
silky. A plume pulled from the breast IL
seen to be made up on the plan of q feather.
The topknot and wing and tail feathers are
like small ostrich plumes, and differ entirely
from the straight hair on other parts of their
bodies. Among those who have called to
see them was James A. Bailey, of Bsrnum &
Bailey's circus company. who asked for q
price on them, but Mr.. Ritter refused to sell.
According TO their owner, who, however,
declines to vouch for the story, the evolution
of the new species was attended with trsg-
10 consequences. He says the birds come
from the palace of the mikado. The origi-
nal discoverer of the breed was commanded
by his emperor to give up the stock to the
crown. He refused and lost his head. His
sons, out of spite, decapitated all the homo
wsya, or silky chickens, as they are called,
on their deceased parents estate. They, too,
were arrested, bat they avoided the fate Of
their father only by accepting the place of
chicken breeders to the king. They bred q
pure white native fowl with guinea hen,
and from her brood one chick developed into
silky. It took six years more to get mate
to the first silky, and even now the eggs Of
pure silkies sometimes hatch ont plain gull.

A SUDDEN DEATH.

A soldiers Widow Found Dead in
Her he'd Yesterday Morning-Due to
Heart Disease.
Mrs. Maggie j. Buttricks of 554 George
street was found dead in her bed yesterday
morning about TAO o'clock. She was the
widow of Charles A. Buttricks, soldier in
the late war. She lived alone In the house,
which she owned. She was granted a PEN
sion lately and this money she devoted to
enlarging and repairing her house for rent
ing purposes. There have been masons and
carpenters about, busy with the work and
things were topsy turvy generally, increas.
ing her worries. She also had dressmaker
In the house working for her. She was last
seen alive by her son, who boards in the
neighborhood, about 8 o'clock Wednesday
evening and apparently no worse in health
than usual. The workmen came to their
work the next morning as usual, but saw
nothing Of Mrs. Buttricks, and also the
dressmaker, who started to look her up. She
discovered her lying in her bed, seemipply
asleep. But it proved to be the sleep Of
death, and from the Indications 1t was a
peaceful and easy one, no signs of struggle
apparent. DR.. N. @. White was called and
gave ss his opinion that the death was due
directly to hear$ disease brought on by wor-
n and cvsr.exelfion.

A large concourse of people assembled as
