The Public schools in Relation to

City before the y, Paul Presbyterian
alliance last evening. lie handled the
subject Very GeXterously, ana clincled
his arguments every time with some
appropriate quotation lie contended
that the motive Of our forefatllers in
founding the American schools was
religion. Today it is politics lie
contended that the directors to our
present system were the ones y no were
infringing on the liberty Of the people;
that ii was just as proper to teach the
doctrine of predestinatlon in schools
as the theory Of evolution. Speaking
upon the constitutional question, Dr.
Jenkins said there WAS nothing con

establishing state church, and us

after the Revolation-the Columbian
Reader-contained - per cent. Of re
ligious matter While Barnes reader
published in l>&l, contains only per
cent. Of religious matter, and the
latest editions make 10 mention Of

moral instruction does not come from
the teachers. but from a handful Of

A Great Rock for snakes.

There is rock in lot near William
Van Fleets farm house at Mays Clear
ing, New York, which becomes an OBJ
ject OF interest as spring approaches.
Ii is q assured rock about twelve feet
long and rising three feet above tho
surface. The assures are perpendicular
and evidently lead down the rock las far
as il goes beneath the ground. For
twenty years or more Ii has been known
as the snake rock. In April, 1870, a man
who worked for Van Fleet was passing
close TO the big stone when he saw q
snake coming slowly out OF one OF the
crevices. IL was what is known as q
milk snake. While the man was watch
ing the snake other snakes began to APP
pear at different crevices until he count
ed forty. There were black snakes,
blowing adders and common striped
snakes. The hired man went back TO
the house and got Van Fleet, and tho
two remained by the rock until they
had killed 200 snakes All through that
month snakes kept coming out OF the
rock, and over 800 were killed. How
many got away was not known, but
there must have been quite number,
for the next spring the rock yielded just
rs many more that had gone there 10
hibernate and winter over. The snake
bearing rock became locally famous i'm
time, and for years, as soon as the
weather begins TO get warm in the
spring farmers and others have boon
coming TO Van Fleets lot from miles
around 10 see the snakes come out aud
10 have a hand in killing them. The
rock has never failed 10 give up hun
dreds OF snakes every spring, and the
curious part OF IL is no one has ever yet
been able 10 discover any going into
the rock in the fall. although IL has been
closely watched. When and how the
great collection OF snakes gets into the
winter quarters in Var Fleets rock is q
mystery vet 10 DE solved. II is supposed
the serpents slip in at night when no ono
Is watching.
