Near Scrapeskillet, Ind, the swamp
lands are so infested with snakes as to
be positively dangerous for travellers.
Friday, while a farmer and his wife
were driving in a wagon, they met
three large snakes in the road, which
not only refused to turn out to one
side of the road, but showed fight
They were finally beaten off by the
farmer after considerable trouble with
his mules, which were almost crazed
with fright.
On the same day a physician from
Yankeetown, driving in a road cart,
was confronted by number of snakes
in the road at the same place. His
horse became frightened and ran away,
leaving him at their mercy, and but for
the timely assistance of passers by he
would have doubtless been bitten to
death As it was he had a severe tus-
sic. The people of the neighborhood
have organized themselves for the pur-
pose of exterminating the reptiles

1t has been lately observed that
water purified as much as possible, and
standing only short time in contact
with the air, showed next day a con-

gradually disappeared, giving place to

to heterogeneous coming into the

substances present.

Two inventive lads, Fred Baer and
Earl Mcdowell, constructed a private
telegraph wire, the wire for which was
obtained from a screen door, which
they carefully unraveled. The line
was about three blocks long, and mid
way between the batteries lived Arthur
Green. The line broke down one
evening, and the wire must have fallen
across a copper wire belonging to either
the electric light or rapid transit com

and he with the twelfth. In Bible times
the land was SO plenty and the inhabi-
tants so few that Noah was right when
he gave to every inhabitant certain
portion of land that land, if cultured,
ever after to be his own possession
They were not small crops raised in
those times, for though the arts were
rude the pillow turned up very rich soil,
and barley and cotton and flax and all
kinds of grain came up at the call of
the harvesters. Pliny tells of one stalk
of grain that had on it between three
and four hundred ears. The rivers and
the brooks, through artificial channels.
We're brought down to the roots of the
corn, and to this habit of turning a

turneth it as the rivers of water are
turned, whithersoever he viii. "
The wild beasts were caught, and
then hook was put into their nose,
and then they were led over the field,
and to that God refers when he says to
wicked Sennacherib: II will put
hook in thy nose and / will bring thee
back by the way which thou earnest"
And God has hook in every mans
nose, whether it be NebuchadneZZar or
Ahab or Herod. He may think him
self very independent, but some time IN
his life or in the hour of his death he
will find that the Lord Almighty has a
hook in his nose.
This was the rule in regard to the
culture of the ground: Thou shalt not
pillow with an OK and an ass together,
illustrating the folly of ever putting
intelligent and useful and pliable men
in association with the stubborn and
the unmanageable. The vast majority
of troubles in the churches and III re-
formatory institutions comes from the
disregard of this command of the Lord:
Thou shalt not pillow with an OK ana
an ass together"

clusters of the vine were put into the
