Col. John A. Mcdonald is hard at work
experimenting in Aztec gardening. This
is by digging pits about four feet square
and terraeing up all round, growing
truck and strawberries both on the bot
tom and on the terraces, and using a
light cover made of thin laths tackled on
to two end laths; two of these frames
have some pine straw or moss between,
and piece of wire twisted in on each
side, holds them, making a light, cheap,
frost proof protection. The Colonel also
has large number of bananas planted
in trenches and so arranged as to be
easily covered by light frame in case OF
frost; but this plan cannot be adopted
successfully except with dwarf varieties
1t looks like good deal of work-more
than the ordinary Floridian likes, but
the colonel claims that the results will
amply repay the labor, as the roots being
so far beneath the surface, do not dry out
SO readily, and further that if water is
absolutely needed, a much smaller guam
tity will suffice.-Eustis Correspondent

He Is Fighter and the RattIesnake Is
Not So Terrible.
ASK any OF the farmers or hunters in this
part OF Monroe County whether they are
afraid of rattlesnakes and they will answer
promptly that they don't mind them very
much, writes Pennsylvania CORE spondent
ASK them if they fear blatksnakes and thew
will say yes without the slightest hesitation.
This fear OF b!acksnakes has come down TO
most Of them from their parents with A
story that none OF them is ever tired of tell
ing. They all declare that it is true, and it
Is so we'll known and Is told with so much
solemnlUy and evident fear by the natives
that 1t Is hard to disbelleve it. The story
runs like this:
Many years ago a well-to-do farmer lived
with his family near the barren land verging
on Pike County. His wife was city bred
and unused to many of the hardshps that
are part OF the farming woman's life. She
was strong and hardy, however, with plenty
OF nerve aud grit enough to make the best of
things. One day. while her husband was
working ID clearing good distance from
the mouse she went down 10 the spring for
pail OF water. As she stopped over to fill
the pail black snake that had been lying
colled near the spring jumped at her. She
screamed and jumped back, but the snake
had buried his fangs in her dress and before
she could recover herself sufficiently 10
ShahO Hiili VII uc udu WOUND DlfnSet about
her SO tightly as to prevent her from walk
ing. Then he began slowly to crawl up
ward. The poor woman struck at the snake
with her hands.
They were badly bitten, but she was so
overcome with fright that she did not mind
this, and kept on striking at him. The
serpent kept crawling up until his coils
were, about her abreast. She tried to tear
MIN loose. but she was not strong enough,
one became nearly paralyzed by terror.
The snake finally coiled himself around her
neck and choked her. She started toward
the house, but she had only gone short
distance when she fell. In the evening she
was found by her husband lying dead with
the snake still coiled about her neck.
This story, with the well-known fact that
a blacksnake is every ready and " Hing to
tight anything that lives, makes the native
afraid Of him, and the man who has killed
blacksnake is thought to have won a
greater battle than the slayer Of dozen
rattlesnakeS.
You can't frighten blacksnake," said
one old hunter. "and the more you try to
the more he amt frightened. A rattlesnake
IS coward and will run II you give him
nall chance. If lie doesn't get the chance
he Will rattle in fear and then strike in des-
peration. A rattlesnake bite is not nearly
so dangerous as many people suppose All
that you have to do to render the wound
harmless is TO cut 1t as deep as the fangs
went, and then 60 to the nearest brook and
wash it thoroughly. A common poultice

Tho Wax Lady Comes to Life and Poor

A man-of-war' s-man rolled along the Bow
cry one night. He was bright-eyed, fresh
checked youth, but he was accidentally in
toxicated, and any one knowing the peculiar
tiles of lower New York could have made
wager that before going far the young sailor
would fall victim to the wiles of some den-
izen Of the shady locality he was moving
through, says the Sun. His manner of adj
vancing to his inevitable fate was somewhat
interesting. The hurdy-gurdy music in the
entrance OF dime museum, together with
the allurlng picture spread over the facade
OF the building was magnetic enough to
bring him to halt on the sidewalk, where
he stood IN serious cogitatiOn for while,
and then passed within the gaudy portals.
For some moments after his entrance he
was permitted to make peaceful survey of
the freaks aud the wax-works ranged about,
but, just as he was preparing to quit he was
approached by young man who, after link
ing his arm in his, said:
do you see that pretty girl over there in
the corner"
The sailor followed the direction of the
young mans gaze until his own dwelt upon
Inquire or woman standing within small
niche in the wall in "a perfect motiOnless at
titude
Yes" responded the sailor; u see that
pretty girl"
We'll, why don't you 60 over and kiss

The sailor boy smiled a very knowing
smile, and brushed his hand playfuly over
the lace OF the young man who had encount-
cred him.
That girl" SAID he in thick tones, why
she's wax. You can't fool me, me boy. Go
kiss her yourself if you want to-"
Inc young man laughed good naturally
ana asserted that the woman was not wax
but very much alive. The sailor thereupon
took leather purse from his pocket aud
boldly proclaimed that there were some $50
contained therein. Backed by that capital
lie would bet drinks for every one present
that the m0tionless girl in The niche was
composed OF wax. He was trifle vexed, in
iact, by the idea that, just because he was a
seaman, 1t could be Imagined that he had
never neard OF People beng cheated in wax
works SHOWS. His proposition concerning
the drinks was accepted, and the question
as to the reality of the woman in the niche
was quickly settled. The sailor walked over
TO the h9ure and, hnging his arms about it.
proceeded to kiss It's face. Instantly he
started back In daZed way and stared at
the supposed waxtigure. which was now
thoroughly animated and was joining in the
laughter Of the surrounding company.
Drinks were ordered and served, but when
the sailor sought his leather purse il was not
to be found. He made great deal of talk
did that deludsd sailor boy, but the ex-
tremely innocent persons around him could
not imagiue where his purse had gone and

but very little of his earnings.
