string in order to see if his prisoner
was secure. Fortunately he had on
heavy gloves, but Notwithstanding
this protection the monster nipped
his little finger, biting through the
glove, and just scratching the flesh.
The man, when he understood from
the shock what had happened, fully
realized that the situation was seri-
GUS
Shaking off the deadly thing he put
spurs 10 his horse and rode for his life
10 the home ranch, which he reached
fainting. Explaining what had hap
pened, the glove was torn aside and
the wound soaked in tobacco saliva.
Every few minutes green matter
would ooze from the finger, but con-
slant applications OF moist tobacco
and doses OF diluted ammonia saved
his life. I'm a few days the victim had
recovered. but swore he would rather
be bitten by 10000 rattlesnakes than
be even scratched by one Gila mor-
ster. 1T was like a terrific electric
shock, only WORSE said he. in de-
scribing his feelings at the time he
was bitten.

HAGERSTOWN.

The largest stock we have ever
handled now loads our shelves; to
sell it we must do the largest business
we have ever done. This we expect
to accomplish by our low prices. The
lowest, mind you, on as good goods,
as are offered for sale anywhere. We
are exceptionally strong this season
on shirts, all the popular grades, at
right prices, from an elegant shirt for
so cents, to the finest all silk shirt.
We are handling this season a Negli-
gee shirt that has the collars and cuffs
starched while the bosom remains
soft, and making the garment both
comfortable and slightly. Come in
and see them.
Our line of piece goods both For
eign and Domestic are very hand
some and price as low as they can be
sold. No trouble to show goods.

HELPS BY THE WAY.

AS the days pass swiftly onward,
One by one,
Leaving all you hoped and planned for
Still undone;
As you see the shadows gather
Thick before your hurrying feet,
And the way seems very lonesome,
And the path grows very steep
Courage, friend, be not disheartened;
Lend hand
And the faltering brother near you
Help to stand!
Just little heavier, maybe,
Than your own
Is the load which he is bearing
All alone.
Yes, the days are passing swiftly,
But we may
Find ray of light to cheer US
On our way.
AS We journey up the hillside,
Shadows come, but need not stay,
II we look for CLEANS OF sunshine
When the cloud has passed away.
All, friends, life is not so dreary
After all
'Tis the way we do our duties
Makes them small.
Great and glorious could the humblest
Life work be,
If we only tried to do II
Worthily.
Use your time, but do not waste it;
Moments fly,
You will find time for resting
BY and by.
While so many hearts are breaking.
While so many homes are sad,
Happy we should be, If only
We can make one poor heart glad.

above the door, and the Christian
names of the people coming first into
the house were, according to the pri-
ority of placing, the names in ques-
ton. The kali was an extensively
useful plant.
Sowing the hemp seed was fam
Gus charm. The lassie doing so took
a handful, and, stealing out unper-
ceived, sowing it, narrowing with
anything convenient, and repeating
now and then: Hemp seed, l SOW
thee; hemp seed, SOW thee; and him
that is to be my true love come after
me- Then look over the left shoul-
der was rewarded with the appear
ance of the person invoked. The cid
chroniclers dwelt particularly upon
the efficacy of this mystic rite. The
drinking Of lambs wool was widely
observed in Ireland. This delicious
beverage was made with roasted ap-
piles, bruised and mixed with ale or
milk. Sometimes when the gentry
participated wine was substituted for
ale. Burning nuts and catching APP
pies have added to these entertain
ments, the particular ceremonies be-
ing the same as have been already de-
scribed To see the features of ones
future partner was a follows: The
girl making the trial took a candle
and went alone to looking glass eat
ing an apple. Then, in combing the
hair, her future partner, if he had
any regard for orthodox observance,
made his appearance, peeping over
her left shoulder.
There were many other practices,
such as the kindling of great bontires
and carrying around torches to light
the souls of the departed out Of pur-
gatory. Making the dumb cake, to
which each girl attached her initial
with new pin, was one of the most
important All placed it before the
fire, and sitting down little after
II o'clock each turned the cake once
and then sat down without speaking
a word A few minutes after the
clock struck twelve the husband of
the one who was first TO be married
made his appearance and laid his
hand upon the end of the cake
marked with her name. 1t was
made by the orthodox with an egg
shell full of salt and an eggshell full
of wheat meal and an eggshell full OF
barley meal.
Those antiquarians who are never
satisfied without tracing everything
back to its source state that these
faneiful rites originated in the an
cient feast days to Pomona, through
whom came the use of the apples, and
it is also likely that part sprang
from the relics Of the ancient Druid
ical celebrations. In any case it was
a pleasing change which took the
observance out of the hands of grim
priests and confided it to the roman
tic hearts of young people who sub
stituted omens Of love and matrimo-
ny for propitiatory sacrifice to
gloomy spirits. The poetically in
cined can not help regretting that
its day has passed.
