A SNAKE IN HIS STOMACH.
Death ofJames H. O'Grady, who Thought
He Was Thus Afflicted.

He was IhuS Afn1cteds
James H. O'Grady, aged 36 years, who
died in Syracuse, N. Y, recently, ac-
quired wide fame in medical circles as
the man with snake in his stomach.
O'Grady was a canalboat captain until
three years ago, when depressed and de-
bilitated by his hallucination he left that
occupation to do laboring work at such
times as he felt able. He imagined that
he could feel the snake moving around
inside of him, and thought at times that
it attempted to crawl out of his throat,
but was prevented from doing so on ac-
count of its size. He and his friends
estimated that it must be at least ten
feet long. He believed that he swallowed
the reptile while drinking water from
pool about ten years ago, and that ever
since then it had slowly grown until it
was at last large enough to manifest its
presence.
The local papers noticed the strange
case, last fall. The story travelled over
the country, and the result was that
O'Grady began to receive letters recon-
mending remedies for the removal of the
snake until about 100 had been received.
Some of the letters were evidently writ
ten by practical jokers, while others
were apparently sincere. One man
recommended O7Grady to run a pair of
tongs down his throat, fasten it to the
snake, pull it out and put salt on its tail.
Another man, who said he had been
troubled the same way, advised O'Grady
to first starve the snake; then he was to
put a pan of warm milk in front of his
mouth and catch the reptile as it came
out to eat.
| The widow said today that she would
permit no post mortem examination to
be made. She was sure that a snake
had bored through her husbands
stomach and into his lungs, causing con-
sumption, and that was all she cared to
know about it. A friend of O'Grady
said that he had seen the snake make
its way up the mans throat, AID try to
get out. p'Grady could not go to bed,
but sat in a chair, and in this chair he
died.
| A number of local physicians visited
the man out of curiosity. The one who
WAS last to attend him said there was no
question that the man died of consum-
ton. He was troubled with intestinal

ATTACKED BY A PANTHER.
The Animal Jumps Among a Gang of
Railroad Hands and Kills One.

TALLAHASSEE, Sept. 9.-While gang
OF section men were working on the
Florida & Western railway today,
twenty miles from here, along a big
swamp, huge and ferocious panther
leaped from tree and struck McWil-
liams, knocking him fiat. The rest of
the hands fled, leaving McWilliams to
fight alone. The contest was short and
bloody. McWilliams had no weapon
except a shovel, and in few minutes
the beast had him mangled beyond rec
ognition. The rest of the gang secured
arms and returned, but they were too
late, as the panther tore the arms off the
corpse and fled to the swamp. Work
has been suspended on the railway, the
men refusing to work.

Here is prodigiously tall story sent to us by young subscriber: "A gentle man in Rosario was once attacked by Pampa Indians There were seven of them and he had only his six shooter, with five shots from which he succeeded in laying low the same number of his assailants. He had then one charge left, and the remaining two men were ad- vancing toward him.
 Quick as thought he opened his pocket knife, held it up in front of the pistol barrel, with the sharp edge of the blade toward him, and fired. The knife split the bullet in halves, each half killing one of his foes, and the hero thus saved his scalp. This is his own account of the affair. ."-Buenos Ayres Standard.

POULTRY PlCKINGS.

ONE advantage with poultry is that
with good management the harvest,
although small, comes in every day.
EVEN when the poultry is confined it
IS not usually necessary to feed meat
more than two or three times a week
The time of Matching more than the
breed regulates laying. Bear this in
mind in selecting the fowls that are to
be kept.
BY letting the fowls have the run of
the grain fields after harvest they will
pick up much that would otherwise go
TO waste.
THE nesting material should always
be of something with no sharp points
in it; for this reason wheat or oats
straw is preferable to hay.
EVEN in the summer if the fowls are
fed in the morning it is quite an item
70 feed them early. Feed soon after
they fly down from the roosts.
A CooP with board frame for the
sides and top, and with tight board
floor and the sides and top covered with
muslin makes good shipping coop.
ONE advantage on the farm al least
in having only one breed is that they
can be given a free range and there will
be very little danger of mixed Breeds
