foot boa constructor Sunday morning.
The snake escaped the night before from
its box in a barn. He hunted ali day FOR
it without success. This morning, al the
open door, it crawled into the house OF
James Reasoner, while the family was
IN the rear portion, and when the mother
entered the sitting-room she saw the
monster stretched across the apartment
floor beside her sleeping baby. Her
screams alarmed the neighborhood, and
when Craig arrived with some others
they found that the serpent had already
swallowed one OF the child's legs, who
awakening with yell, had alarmed the
inmates. The constructors jaws were
drawn, after which the reptile grew so
furious that he had to be tied with ropes
before he could be removed.

gin a crusade against the Chinese Sunday
school system by which young women
are employed in teaching Mongolians.
He believes the Chinese would not attend
the Chinese mission connected with the
church unless they had attractive young
lady teachers. His view is that the aver
age Chinaman who attends Sunday
school cares little about the Bible. lie
says parents are doing great wrong to
their daughters in allowing them TO teach
Cinnamon who go to Sunday school only
to sit beside the girls. he declares the
practice is likely to cause trouble. and the
evil should be stopped at once. DR.. Lewis

says there is not weeks supply of coal
in the hands of dealers in Iowa, the Da-
kotas, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas or Ne

time because of the scarcity of cars. The
situation is not due to negligence of the

West, and the sudden demands for coal,
caused by the cold weather. at a time
when the cars are loaded with grain.
There is immediate danger OF a serious

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-David Mack
who lives at 1l25 Mission street. made a
very startling discovery while engaged in
digging Postholes on the beach about
mile south Of the Cliff House Yesterday.
DC was industriously engaged in his
Wotk When his shovel struck a human
ley buried il the sand three feet below
tho surface. Continuing his investiga-
hon Mack unearthed the remains OF
man that, judging from appearances, had
IAN IN the unmarked grave for some
time, and had been placed there by some
other agency than the waves as the body
lay above the highest high water mark.
The body was badly decomposed and
the bones nearly barren of flesh, tending
to show that life had been extinct for
months. The clothes that surrounded
the ghastly-looking body were of an un-
usually good quality, lending additional
reason for the supposition that homi-
clde had been committed.
After the arrival of the remains at the
Morgue small bottle containing strych-
nine was found, and it is now believed
that the man committed suicide and the
drifting sand covered him.

COWS FOR BUTTER AND CHEESE.

The fact that COWS differ as much in
individual characteristics as any other
animals goes to show, writes a Pennsyl-
vania dairyman, the futility of the nu-
merOus experiments made and making by
experiment stations, intended to prove
the fitness Of this Or that breed or this
or that kind Of feeding for certain de-
sired results. There are we'll known
differences between breeds of COWS, re-
sulting from long habit and training, and
these very much affect their value for
certain uses, especially for the making of
cheese and butter. There is no doubt of
the greater value of the Jersey or
Guernsey for the butter dairy, of the
Ayrshire or Dutch COW for milk or
cheese, and of the native for either as
she may be made available. Few dairy
men can afford to keep pure bred COWS,
nor has experience proved it to be de-
BirabIe. The large product of some
pure brcds (of which history records less
than 100 out of more than 10, 600, or
about one in 1907 would be most fall
lacious evidence in favor of furnishing
a dairy with such COWS. But the nat
ural habit Of the Jersey and Guernsey to
give exceedingly rich milk gives them a
high value for crossing on the native
stock which should be taken advantage
of by all butter or cheese makers. It is
too often supposed that rich milk makes
most cheese, and that of higher value,
the cheese maker will find most profit in
the best COWS he can ure.-Neao
