A Doctor Who Rizzles.

Do you know how to rizzle? One of the
swell doctors in town says that it is the
most wonderful aids to perfect health 81
mssticate my food very thoroughly at din
ner," he says, land make sure to have my
family or friends entertain me with brig bit
talk and plenty of fun. After dinner, it is
understood that am going to rizzle. How
do do it l retire to my study. and,
having darkened the room, l light cigar,
sit down and perform the operation.
How to describe it, don't know, but it
is condition as nearly like sleep, as sleep
is like death. 1t consists in doing abso-
lutely nothing. l close my eyes and try to
stop all action of the brain. think of
nothing. 1t only takes little practice to
absolutely stife the brain. In that de-
lightful condition l remain at least ter
minutes, sometimes twenty. That is the
condition most helpful to digestion, and il
is that which accounts for the habit AMI.
mails have of sleeping after eating.
would rather miss good fat fee than tina
ten minutes rizzle every day.

Caught in q Snakes Coil.

William Hill, young man who lives
with Mr.. Ransom, at Arant, Union county,
N. c., had an experience which he will be
likely to remember for some time. While
walking through an old field Mr.. Hill was
confronted by large snake of the coach
whip variety. The snake was within a
few feet of Mr.. Hill, with head erect three
or four feet from the ground.
Giving vent to keen whistle, It sprang
at the young man, and before Mr.. Hill could
resist, it entwined itself around his body
and arms. Hill could not get his knife, but
managing to get one hand partially loose
he erasped the snake and began tugglng
away for dear life. Fortunately, his dog
was with him, and seeing the peril of his
master came to his relief. Hill, with the
assistance of the dog, managed to free
himself from the too affectionate embrace
of his snakeship, which then ran up a
cedar tree short distance away.
Hill gathered some stones, and, going
ND to within ten feet of the tree, was pre-
pairing to dislodge the snake with the ar
euments used by a certain old gentleman
on the small boy in his apple tree, but the
snake did not wait for Mr.. Hill to renew
the battle Springing from the tree, il
made a second attack upon him, but as II
came Mr.. Hill threw up his arm and
warded it off. Before it recovered itself
the dog again attacked it, and this time
succeeded in breaking the back of the
snake. Mr.. Hill then dispatched 1t, and
measuring it found the snake to be be.
tween seven and eight feet long.-RSch-

Good Cause for Astonishment.

Newspaper men and others accustomed
to getting home between and o'clock in
the morning are often amused by the un-
disguised and genuine establishment which
comes over people not accustomed to be
out after midnight when, having over
stepped the mark on some particularly
festive occasion. they are hailed as they
are getting home to bed by the small boy
with his morning papers for sale. They
have been persuading themselves that
there was still time for sleep before bust
ness hours, but this seems as If business
had already begun and as if rivals who
went to bed early must be getting ahead.
But If they see In the paper full account
of the very ball or dinner which they have
Just left they are generally filled with as
constituent ct the marvellous energy. en-
terprise and skill required to gather the
news, write it up, set it In type. stereotype
it. print it, fold it, cut it and deliver it.
while the flavor OF the dinner was still il
their mouths and the music of the orches
ira still In their ears.-M 2. Tribune.

About Wedding Rings.

There is less change in wedding rings
than in anything else in the iewelry line.
The wedding ring is about the same to-day
as it was a century ago. The marriage
token can hardly be improved upon. 1t is
ring of pure gold. 1t is softly rounded,
and if you hang it on piece of string and
strike it gently it will ring out an indie
scribably soft and sweet sound.
Ladies often wear numerous rings which
carry no significance, except, perhaps, in
some instances q hint of the possession OF
wealth. Twenty-Five years ago it was un-
usual to see woman wearing more than
one ring on either hand, but now the more
one can crowd on her dainty digits the
better she appears to be pleased. :,
While women are almost insanely mind
full of the harmony of their dress, they
tumble diamonds, rubies, pearls, garnets
and other precious stones together in ride
ulous confusion. Jeaoelers' Weekly.
