An Indian Fights With a Boa.

One day last week an Indian made
IN excursion to mountain near Chew
antzieurm, State of Michoacau, in
Mexico, to look after some fuel for his
hut. While cutting up q dry oak he
suddenly felt bite on the calf of his
leg, given in the fraction of second.
\ moment later he felt coiling around
his body the terrible fold of a boa con-
strictor. lnstinctively he leaned his
head over toward the wounded leg and
was almost fascinated by the glare OF
two bright basilisl eyes, that CLEANED
like fiery Goals in the head of the ser.
pent.
Quicker than flash the Indian
dueked his head and caught the neck
of the reptile between his jaws, sink
ing his teeth in the quivering flesh,
and clinging to it with the desperation
of the dying. The huge serpent
dashed his tail and tried to twist its
head in order to bury its fangs in the
Indian, but the latter chung on and be-
gan to chew away at the neck of the
boa. which is the thinnest and mos,
delicate part of the snakes anatomy.
After chewing for long time the In
dian succeeded in beheadiDg his antag-
ouist, the folds dropped from around
his body and the Indian was free

Plenty of Room Where the Mouse Is.

An actual occurrence: 1t was an
Indiana avenue car. The Indiana line
is said to be the swell street car line
of the city. This particular car was
crowded with fashionable ladies'. At
Eighteenth street an elderly lady and
gentleman boarded the said car. No
one offered them a seat. They chung

The car stopped. Eight or ten women

A Man Who Wears petticoats.

ing description in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition of a strange sight in Macont
~ was a man somewhat above the
ordinary height with long, snow
white beard and pair of white NOUS
taches that nearly completed the cover
ing of his face. He wore a woman's
old-fashioned fly bonnet, which flop
ped over his face and concealed his
head, giving him the appearance of one
those pictures of patriarchs that you
see In Sunday school books.
"he had on a calico frock that
reached to his ankles, cut in the old
fashioned body and skirt style, which
made him look still more like a patri-
arch. The strings of his apron hung
down behind, just like those of a
countrywoman in her everyday dress
OF twenty years ago. AS he came
striding down the street, the legs of
his heavy boots exposed at every stride,
he was about the greenest specimen of
humanity ever struck. There was q
mob at his heels and everybody stared
as he passed.
Ills name is Roberts, and he was
born and still lives in Jones County.
He has worn female attire since he was
10 years old, as l was informed. He
has papers issued by the State authori-
ties, granting him permission to wear
women's clothes, and for that reason
the local authorities never interfere
with him. He hsd been off somewhere

MsrrIment at English Funerals

MerrIment at English Funerals
| From the ondon Referee.
1t has been asserted with tedious
irritation that the English people
take their pleasures sadly. No one
will deny the truth of the Indictment,
but it is seldom urged that in revenge
we take our sadness pleasantly. Never
theless, an English funeral is merry
making, a jovial excuse for dance and
song, and the passing of the flowing
bowl. To 60 to funeral is with some
of us equivalent to going out for a
festival holiday.
Let any one who is anxious to study
the manners and customs of the
English mOurners spend an after
noon for chOice-in the neighborhood
of a public house near cemetery.
I'll warrant he'll come away with all
of his precouceived notions of "going

The other day it was my good-or

had driven some distance and |
wanted to give my horse a rest, so |
put up for an hour and then wandered
away to public house in the neigh
borhood, to which ! was attracted by
large number of empty hearses and
mourning coaches drawn up in pic
tuI esque confusion around it. Outside
the undertakers men were chatting
together with their hands in their
pockets and were smoking short clays
and passing the pewter along. In
side the bar was crowded with men
and women dressed in deep mourning.
I explored the house, and found
mourners in the coffee room. 1t was
a case of mOurners - mOurners
everywhere, and-I can't finish
the quotation, for there GER
tainly was drop to drink. The
mOurDers in the coffee room were
more subdued thon the mOurners in
the bar, but they were merry. Here
was a widow VINO had inst left the
dear departed "up the road" smiling
at stony which another lady mourn

This is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,

a resumption by the hillary organ of
