Ton Much Raftlesnake.

Henry Hughes, a timber cutter in
Baldwin county, Ala. had an adventure
with rattlesnakes Thursday night which
changed him from a strong man to a
physical wreck and threatens to destroy
his reason. Hughes has been at work in
the piney woods all winter cutting tim
Der. He had constructed rude hut, in
which he lived alone. Last Thursday
night there was a change in the weather
1t had been very warm, but suddenly
turned cool. That night Hughes slept
with a blanket over him on the straw
bed in the little hut. 1t was nearly sun
rise when he awoke Friday morning.
/ He was awakened, he says, by a
! strange feeling of dread, and as he awoke
felt something slick and warm against
the side of his face, and at the same time
detected a peculiar odor. He opened his
eyes, and the sight that met his gaze
almost froze the blood in his veins. He
was unable to move for several minutes.
A large rattlesnake was coiled on his
bed, one side of the coil being against
the mans face. The snakes head was
not six inches from the eyes of the
frightened man. The reptile was still
sleeping, but Hughes knew that at the
slightest movement it would be very
wide awake and ready for instant ac-
ton. As he began to recover from his
first terrible fright, Hughes looked to-
ward the foot of the bed and discovered
two other rattlesnakes as large as the
one SO near his face. These were coiled
on top of the blanket, one on each side
of his body.
1t was a fearful position. Drops of
cold perspiration fell from the mans
face, and every instant he was afraid the
loud beating of his heart would arouse
the sleeping snakes. When his presence
of mind had returned somewhat he de-
cided on a plan of action and lost no
time in putting it into execution.
Gathering all his strength for the
spring, he suddenly BOUNDED fren- tia rSSs-
bed, and as he rose he threw the upper
part of his blanket over the two snakes
coiled at the foGt of the bed. At one
leap hughes was on the other side of the
nut, and, grasping his AK, with one well
directed blow dispatched the reptile
winch had lain at his face and which
hhao made ready for spring the mo-
ment it was disturbed.
Then with piece of wood he killed
the two snakes under the blanket. When
they were all dead Hughes sank to the
floor of the hut in faint. 1t was near
noon before he recovered, and then he
hurried to the house of his nearest neigh
Dor, mile away. That night he was
attacked with commissions, and suffered
terribly. Every time he closes his eyes
he sees snakes, and his nerves are COM
pletely shattered. The attending physi-
clan says the man may lose his reason

Do YOU ask. "Wherr can do this and
have my money absolutely safe?" Let
us give YOU SOM facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park is an institution run on tho
following principles =
1st. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one OF
tie Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as home institution.
Every dollar is loaned i'll Lamollle and
adjacent counties, and every worthy en-
terprjSe i'll the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fOstered and encouraged in preference
to ether investments, so far as 1t can De
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances IS dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other Out-Of-the-state security. We
might perhaps pay our depositOrs one
half of one per cent. per apnum more
interest by mourning little addition
al risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day ''long-felt
want in Vermont for a savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
It is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depOsiting public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for strictly home in
veStneent Savings Bank. That such a
demand exists, and that the people are
ready to bestOw their confidence and
encouragement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
aggregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in excess
of S1000-were at the end of the first six
months of its business. $57, 1877. 90, a
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history of Vermont Savings Banks
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. 1t would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositor. 1t must then
be evident that per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
withdrawn.

The Antiseptic Power of Coffee.

DIR. Luderitz has recently made num-
Der of observations on the destructive
power of coffee upon various microbes.
He found that the organisms all died in
a longer or shorter period-e. g., in one
series of experiments anthrax bacilIi
were destroyed in three hours. anthrax
spores in four weeks, cholera bacilli in
four hours, and the streptococcus of cry
sipelas in one day. 1t was, however, re-
markable that good coffee and bad coffee
produced precisely similar effects. He
believes, that as previous observers have
suggested, the antiseptic effect of coffee
does not depend on the caffeine it con-
tains, but on the empyreumatic oils de-
veloped by roasting.-Montreal Star.

When You Are Cleaning House

For the drains use either chlorides or
the cheaper permanganate of potash.
The first is entirely colorless and must
be most carefully handled. The second
turns to a red fluid when it has water
added, and would make quite a stain on
the hands. Potash and the chlorides are
subtle scourers out of pipes. There is the
government formula for chloride of zinc
that is also highly useful All of these
things are poison and should be kept on

Steam for Projecting Dynamite Shells.

vantages claimed being the furnishing

The pressures usually carried in steam
boilers would not be sufficient for this
purpose, but boilers are promised of a

Heat of the Body.

That animal heat is due to combustion
was first recognized by Lavoisier, who
was unable to determine whether the
combustion takes place in the lungs at
the place where the oxygen is absorbed
or throughout the entire system. Ber-
tholet, in a late paper on the subject,
states that one-seVenth of the heat is pro
duced in the lungs, and six-sevenths in
the system by reactions of oxidation and
hydration. The temperature of the blood
In the lungs is raised by absorption of
oxygen, while the return of carbon to a
gaseous state and the evaporation of
moisture tend to lower it.-Herald of

WHEN they succeed in getting some
unknown and unnamed republican clerk
in an obscure store to say that in his
opinion prices will not 60 up the repub-
lican organs assert that the Mckinley
bill does not raise prices. Columns upon
columns Of statements from manufact-
urers, wholesalers and leading mer-
chants appear to have no effect upon
them. They know better. The manu-
,facturers and merchants don't know
what they are talking about. Now We
are assured that carpets will not be ad-
vanced in price. Who says so7 Why,
what's-his-name, q Helena clerk. To be
sure the treasurer Of the great Lowell
Manufacturing company says: "Prices
of Brussels carpet will be increased from
5 to 10 cents yard, varying according
to the material used. Noils, which are
largely put into ingrains as filing, are
practically excluded by tax Of 30 cents
a pound. Cancels hair tops are also shut
out by an extremely heavy duty, or else
they will be used only with largely in
creased cost in the manufacture. Thus
while the market for carpets is not
changed in the least, there is great adj
vance all along the line in the cost of
wool entering into their manufacture.
New prices are generally given out about
December !, but this year they will
como much earlier and will be much
higher. To sum up the situation con-
sumers will soon have to nay higher
prices or else they must have inferior
quality Of carpet at the old prices" OF
course all that amounts to nothing. The
able Herald will promptly counter on
the statement by saying "we own sheep
and know all about the carpet bust
ness. The treasurer of the Lowell COM
pany may think carpets are going up
but he is mistaken"
