In a Den of Rattlers.

A Wolverine Mich dispatch de,
scribes as follows the adventure OF
John Foster, who was out in the
woods near Rondo with two compan-
ions. all drunk. They knew that a
certain rock pass, known as the
Devils Kitchen, just teemed with rat
tlesnakes. Foster vowed he was going
down to kill some snakes and went
DESPITE the advice of his companions.
He reached the bottom Of the hole
safely, but no sooner did so than rat
tiers glided out on all sides. The
sight partially sobered him and for
half an hour he fought like a demon,
having about him with n strong club
and using his knife deXtrOusly with
lis left hand His companions were
too much frightened to help him and
he fought until the last Of the snakes
were dead around him. He was
scared sober and rushed off to camp
to fill up on whisky. Yesterday he
came into Rondo and brought with
him nineteen dead snakes. He was
bitten in several places, and says that
nothing but his hip rubber boots and
gag saved him.

Thoughts About Sheep.

Some people seem to think that
sheep can live anywhere. They Will
turn them into the road where the
grass is covered with dust, forgetting
that a sheep is as dainty about its
food as its master. Others will keep
them in a brier patch, where grass
must struggle for existence, let them
run here all summer, and i'll the fall
they will come out thin AID gaunt,
and with their fleeces ruined. Others
stock their fields too heavily. Sheep
are like other animals-put too many
on field and they will crop it too
close, running the pasture. They
want frequent changes of pasture
to do well. They like hill lands the
best, and seem TO do better on them.
They should be sailed twice n W EEK.
In winter, sheep should be well shell
tered in bad, stormy weather, with
plenty Of good clover hay and pure
water. Then they will thrive. If
you allow them out i'll storms, with
poor or insufficient food, they will
grow thin and the wool becomes dead.
Ewes with lamb, under such treat
ment, do not pass yeaping time safe
", and will lack nutriment for their
puny lambs. There is loss in all such
sheep husbandry.
Ewes should not have much grain
before lambing, but what they do
have should be bran, oats and corn
ground together. After eve drops
her lamb put her in a place by her
self. Have shed for this purpose,
where you can bunch them in lots of
ten or fifteen. You can oversee them
better, and detect anything that goes
wrong, and when you go i'll among
them they haven'troom to run around,
rs in large shed, tramping on their
lambs, etc.

Debt Paying.

The Christian Observer says: There
is one great evil in this country which
we think the pulpit and press ought
to denounce more frequently than
they do-that is, the habit Of getting
into debt and making no effort to
pay. Cana man be Il consistent Christ
ian and not strive to pay all his
debts? Can man be u christian and
not be honest? Is Il man who does
not try to live within his means and
pay debts all honest man? If so, we
do not understand the Bible. Should
men who habitually disregard their
financial obligations be allowed TO
remain in the church? We think not,
and that mans being member of
the church ought to be II letter OF
credit in any part OF the globe where
the Christian religion prevails. But
it is not the case; far from II; and
there are even some ministers whose
sermons do no good because they are
preached by men who are not consid-
cred honest by even men of
the world. Whiskey is pronounced
the great evil of the day, and it is a
great curse; but we doubt whether it
does more harm to the cause of the
church than the lying and dishonesty
of the sober church member, whose
promise TO pay is not worth the pa
per it is written on. The church is
not the place for fraud and dishones-

\ balloon containing a professional
aeronaut and two other persons made
an ascent from La Vilette, near Paris
in France, last week, the aerial ven
ture being watched by crowds OF per-
sons. When the balloon had reached
a height of not more than sixty feet
from the ground, the aeronaut, who
had been busily engaged about the
outside of the car, was seen TO sud
denly lose his balance, make II des-
perate effort to regain it, and then
fail whiring to the earth. He Was
picked up so terribly injured that it
is said there is no prospect of saving
his life. In the meantime the balloon
and its remaining two occupants,
both Of whom were utterly ignorant
of the manner in which IL balloon is
handled, mounted up higher and
higher into the air, growing to the
sight smaller and smaller, until it was
finally lost sight of entirely among
the clouds. The balloonists finally
descended at Versailles.

Temperance Wine for Invalids.

1t is well known that there are cases VIII en-
the most strict advocates OF temperance are
obliged to use some sort OF Wine, especially
those who are old and iufirm. Many weakly
females as well as invallds and deDiltated
persons in warm weather, need little
strengthening wine. The great difficulty
has been in procuring rich wine that is re-
liable. There are many cases where wine
would be used TO great advantage in place OF
alcoholic drinks. If only genuine article
could be had, aud upon which physicians
could rely as being strictly pure. The Wine
OF Alfred Speer, OF Passaic, New Jersy, ana
his Unfermented Grape Juice have been an
alyZed by chemists in nearly every State. and
have always been proved strictly pure and
beneficial. These wines are now being used
in hospital and 10y families for medical pur-
poses, also by druggists. Mr.. Speer's mode
OF preserving is such as TO retain the ricn
flavor and sweetness of the fruit.

Got Diamonds From a Grave.

4 unique story comes from MADEIRA
Cal Camelon Dyce is well-to-do
fruit raiser of that neighborhood, ana
within the past year has taken 10
himself q second wife. His first bet
ter half was lady very wealthy In
her own right, and the possessor OF a
number of valuable diamond orna-
ments, among which was pair of ear
rings. Dying, she requested that she
be buried in these, which was done.
The second wife, it appears, on hear
ing of these valuables, thought her
self much defrauded, and insisted
upon her husband opening the grave
of the deceased Mrs. Dyce and getting
them for her.
This he declined to do in spite OF
tears and sulks, and the lady finally
ceased to importune him, BUTT began
to be whispered a week or two ago
that she was wearing pair OF ear
rings so singularly like those of her
predecessor that the latter's friends
were convinced they were the same.
This coming to Mr.. Dyce's ears, he
charged his wife with having EN-
ploved some one to open the grave
and steal the jewels. She admitted
that they were the earrings in ques-
ton. but declared that finding no one
willing to do the thing for her, she
had herself gone at night and dlsin-
tered the coffin, and taking the jew
els replaced the lid, refilled the grave
and then walked back home five
miles.
Mr.. Dyce denounces the woman as
a ghoul and refuses to live with her
any longer. The affair has created
considerable stir in the neighborhood,
while the authorities are rather at II
loss as to what measures to take In
the matter, involving as it does sew
eral delicate points in the law. Mrs.
Dyce brazens the thing out and says
she has right to the jewels.

Dehorning.

Luman Woodwork takes every &C.
casiop to ridicule the teachings of Mr..
Haaf on the subject of dehorning cat
tie. Last summer friend of my fam
lily, a most estimable man, living in
an adjoining township, was attacked
by bull, not known to be danger
ously vicious. He was tossed high in
air on those murderous horns and
then tramped to death by the enraged
brute
have thoroughbred Jersey bull
two years old that l have felt uneasy
about for some time, it being convent
ent to let him out in the barnyard
for water and exercise while | clean
stables, etc. Well, Mr.. Bull would
sometimes amuse himself by making
wry faces at my wife or daughter if
he CHANGED to espy them in their
quest for eggs about the premises,
and finally he curled his back in
mighty arch and gave forth threat
ening below at the undersigned. L
clapped said bull in his accustomed
stanchion and with left hand grasp
ed firmly in the cartilage of his nose,
with small saw in right hand, cut
off one of his hornes close to his head.
Having had no experience, l was
somewhat frightened by the sight OF
blood and hastily loosening him from
his stancion, drove him from the sta
bic, fearing fatal termination ofmy
experiment. To my establishment he
walked very deliberately to the water
trough and took hearty draught,
and soon after commenced eating
hay at the yard rack in Il perfectly
natural manner, and at chore time
he came with most ludicrous look of
docility offered to go into the stable
with the rest of my cattle. Finding
him all right, chewing his cud and
ready for his rations the next morn
ing | removed his other horn without
help from any one. He has not
seemed to mind his loss, and to one
who knew his former vicious propen-
sites, his present docile attitude is to
NV mind most excellent argument
for dehorning.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
at would give genuine and religious
Turk fit if he saw how little appreciation
Americans show for the rose, and what lit
tie reverence they have for it, spoke
florist as he wrapped the foil about the stem
of buttonniere last St. Patriek's day.
''The rose is beyond question the pref
test flower that blooms, and it was so con
sidered by the Turks many years before the
conquest of Grenada There is a religious
legend generally believed in throughout
Turkey that the red rose sprang from drop
of the great prophet Mohammed's blood.
Everything beautiful in nature is ascribed
to him. The Turks, therefore, have great
reverence for the flower, and allow it to
bloom and die untouched, except on State
occasions and for the purpose of making
rose water.
CATER the conquest by the Turks they
would not worship in any church unit! the
walls were clcansed and washed with rose
water and thus purified by the blood of the
prophet 1t is used ON the body for the
same purpose. A Turk whose conscience
is stung by some act or deed he has COM
mitted will caress and pay reverence to the
rose to appease the wrath of the prophet
and allah.
''With these ideas inculcated in him from
youth it would shock him severely to see
the pretty flower strewn in the path Of a
bridal couple, thrown on the public stage
or banked up in hundreds at a swell reeep
ton or party to be crushed and spoiled in
