Snakes Attack a S ,an of Horses.

While Frank Oldham, young farmer
living southeast OF Pendleton, Ind, was
narrowing piece Of new ground he
nous black snakes, measuring about
twelve feet, that Immediately showed
fight. They first made rush at the
Young man and tried to coil themselves
around his legs, but he escaped from their
Shiny embrace and made for the fence at
a rapid rate, closely pursued by the SER
pent. When the snakes saw that Frank
was out of their reach on the fence, they
returned to the horses, which had been
left standing, still attached TO the har-
row. Soon the horses were noticed to
be rearing and kicking and performing
acrobatic feats that would surpass Bar
NUNS trained equines.
The MAN, mastering up his courage,
armed himself with q fence rail and
hastened to the relief of his team. He
found one reptile coiled around the fore
leg of one horse, and the other snake
around one of the hind legs of the other
horse. The serpents struck the defence
less animals repeatedly, while the air re-
sounded with peculiar Kissing noise.
After struggle of about thirty minutes
the farmer succeeded in heating off the
reptiles aud releasing the scared team.
He then mounted the harrow aud a chase
commenced, the horses at full speed
dragging the harrow and Frank with the
snakes in close pursuit. The fleeing
team raised a cloud of dust, aud when it
reached the opposite side Of the field the
snakes were lost to view. A party with
guns and clubs was quickly organized to
search for the snakes, but was unable to
find them. - IAdianapolis JonrRaL.

would weigh about 4s4 pounds whose
weight on the earth would be 200 pounds.
This man would weigh 21S pounds on

The German Emperor, who expressed
at the conclusion of the recent school
conference at Berlin his dissatisfaction
with the manner in which Prussian his
tory is taught, has, according to the re-
port of German papers, commissioned
Professor Stengler, of the Cadet School,
at Litcherfelde, to write a new history OF
Prussia under the Hohenzollerns. The
work will serve, in the first instance, as
textbook for military schools, but is
expected to be used in time at the high
schools of Prussia.

LOVES SHADOW.

Ny lady sighs. Her thought is stirred 7
By something that she deeply feels,
But cannot tell. The mating bird
In witchery of song reveals
A sympathy. She too, could sing,
Did she but fully comprehend
The meaning of those notes that ring,
Aud with the joy of living blend.
My lady loves. Across her path,
Unknown to her, a shadow lies.
All life its perfect fulness hath
In bird and bud and cloudless skies.
Yet, echoing the songster's bliss
She signs before the song is done.
She does not know loves shadow Is
Far brighter than the MONDAY sun.

Restrictions In Diet

It cannot be denied that the restrictions
imposed by medical men on the diet of
patients are ofttimes the outcome of preju-
dice or whim, and il would be we'll II the
practitioner paused awhile and considered
whether or not the object in view might
not he better attained by some less drastic
method. Tho Medical Press, which ex-
presses the foregoing opinion, says that,
first of all, there is no absolute standard OF
what is right and proper when individual
stomachs are in question. The safest guide
in such matters, under ordinary circnm-
stances, is the patients own palate. This
organ acts under the guidance of a natural
instinct that is rarely at fault, though
many persons mistrust its indications as
II they were the suggestions of some frivo-
lous and wanton agency, rather than
skillful and dtrustworthy guide in the choice
Of food
At the same time the practitioner is care
full to remind us that the sense of taste,
like any other sense, may be wrong and
betray the confidence of its possessor. II
is his duty to detect these eccentric or
vicious palates, and to assist their owners
in neutralizing their evil promptings; and,
to sum up the recommendations, n change
of diet is often better than mere restric-
tion, and it will often answer the purpose
to diminish the quantity of a particular
article instead of prohibiting it altogether.
The change may be in the kind, in guam
tty or in the disposition of the meals. The
last form of adjustment is that which inn
poses itself as persons pass from youth to
old age. Digestion and assimilation are on
the wane, and the intake, both in quantity
and kind, must be modified accordingly.

New York, March 24.-The Wash
ington National bank, at No. 1 Broad
way, closed its doors at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, as it had been discov-
cred that its capital had been impaired.
The bank examiner will take charge
and the banks affairs will probably be
wound up. Sidell Tilghman, director
of the bank, said the irregularities in
the banks affairs were first discovered
about week ago. After n cursory ex-
animation on Saturday last it was found
that the impairment was in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. This sum was to
have been made good by the directors,
but President Sherman informed the
directors that the impairment was
larger than had been discovered and
would aggregate about 100000 more
than it was thought to be- 1t was then
decided to discontinue business. Direc-
tor Tilghman declares that the deposi-
tors will be paid in full. 1t was learned
that the banks money had been loaned
out by the president to friends on poor
and worthless collateral. President
Sherman had the full confidence of the
directors. When the complete an

When to Give Medicines.

Iodine or the iodides should be given on
an empty stomach. If given during diges-
tion the acids and starch alter and weaken
their action. Acids, as a rule, should he
given between meals. Acids given before
meals check the excessive secretion of the
acids Of the gastric juice. Irritating and
poisonous drugs, such as salts of arsenic,
copper, zinc and iron, should be given di-
rectly after meals. Oxide and nitrate of
silver should be given after the process of
digestion is ended; if given during or close
after meals the chemicals destroy or impair
their action. Potassium permanganate
also should not be given until the process
Of digestion is ended, inasmuch as organic
matter decomposes it and renders it inert.
The active principle of the gastric juice is
impaired and rendered inert by corrosive
sublimate, tannin and pure alcohol; henco
they should be given at the close of di-
gestion. Malt extracts, cod liver oil, the
phosphates, ETC., should be given with or
directly afterfood, says The Medical World,
authority for the foregoing directions.

BURNED TO DEATH.
THREE MEN LOSE THEIR LIVES
WHILE AT WORK.

Two Others Fatally Burnsd-The ES.
piosion OF a Big Pipe Under a stni
Caused the oil to Ignite and Pour
Down Upon the Men - Two Dead
when Taken out.
JERSEY CRY, N. j., March "a. An
explosion occurred yesterday in the
yard of the Tidewater Refining COM
pany, at Constable Hook, by which
three men were burned to death and
two others fatally burned. There are
about twenty-five stills in the yard, all
OF which are numbered. Running
above the chain Of stills is a large pipe,
which lie used to pump the oil from one
still into another. A gang of men were
at work raising still No. l6, by placing
q block under It, when the big pipe con-
Meeting the chain of stills on top sud-
denly exploded. The oil became ignited
and poured down on the men who were
caught in between still No. 16 and IS.
Rescuing parties were at once set to
work to get the men out, but this could
not be done until the flames were ex-
tinguished. John Hayes, aged 45 years,
married, and Michael Haley, 22 years
old and married, were dead when taken
out. Foreman George Gregory was
alive when taken ont, but was so badly
burned that he died at the hospital
shortly after John Anderson and John
Gallagher were taken to the Bayonne
hospital The physicians at the hos
pital say they cannot recover.

PHYSIOLOGY AND HYGIENE.

Relief for Morning Headaches Caused by
Excessive Brain work in the Evening.
Science tells OF Swiss doctor whose ex-
perience IL of interest 10 the many persons
who extend their mental work we'll into
the night, who during the evening follow
attentively the programme OF a theatre or
concert, or who engage evenings in the pro
ceedings of societies or clubs, and are
awakened in the morning or in the night
with headache. He Is particular to say
that he does not refer to that headache
which our Teutonic brethren designate
Katzenjammer, that follows certain con-
vivial indulgences. This headache affects.
many persons who are quite well other
wise, and is due in part TO the previous ex-
cessive work of the brain, whereby an abb
normal flow OF blood to that organ Is
caused, in part to other causes, for exam
pie, too great heat Of rooms, contamina-
ton OF the air with carbonic acid, exhalar
tions from human bodies and tobacco
smoke.
For a long while the doctor was himself
a sufferer from headache Of this kind, but
Of late years has wholly protected himself
from 1t by simple means. When he Is
obliged to continue his brain work into
the evening, or to be ont late nights in
rooms not we'll ventilated, instead OF going
directly to bed he takes brisk walk for
half an hour or an hour. While taking
this tramp he stops now and then and
practices lung gymnastics by breathing in
and out deeply few times. When he then
goes to bed he sleeps soundly. Notwith-
standing the shortening of the hours Of
sleep he awakes with no trace Of headache.
There exists clear and well known physi-
illogical reason why this treatment should
be effective.

THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Both Houses Transact Large Amount OF
Business.

COLUMBUS, o., March "a. - Repre-
sentative Guffin, by request Of Repre-
sentative Brown, of Hancock, intro
duced in the house a joint resolution
asking for a joint committee of the leg
islature TO investigate the charges
against Professor Edward Orton, state
geologist. Those interested in the nat
ural gas fields of Northeastern Ohio
aver that Professor Edward Orton, by
public declarations made in the last
geological survey report, is influencing
capital from investing in several coUn-
ties within the natural gas belt. The
resolution recites that, while nominally
in the employ of the state, Professor
Orton is in fact representing the Stand
ard Oil company to the extent of depre-
ciating the value and peImanence of
the gas plants in Northwestern Ohio so
as to enable that company to take in all
the gas lands held by individuals at q
price far below their real value, and
thus shut out all influential competition
on the part of individuals or other COM
panies.
The house transacted large amount
of business at the night session. The
tail end of the famous board of public
improvements of Cincinnati gave an
other expiring squirm in the house.
Mr.. McMaken, of Butler, introduced
a bill repeating the act creating the
board. His object was to abolish the
board independent of the charter bill,
so that if the latter should be declared
drop back into existence. Mr.. Nc
Maken had the bill read the second time
and put on its passage, but the Cincin-
natl members made kick and, ruling
against it, the measure was defeated.

ards. Any person charged with habit
ual drunkenness or occasional drunken
ness. on conviction shall be declared in
competent to control himself. The
governor shall appoint board of five
trustees to be known as the state board

county commissioners are authorized to
purchase grounds and buildings for hos
pitfalls for drunkards, or to make ar
rangements with private institutions
and adopt regulations for the govern
ment of these persons. Any person
standing committed as a drunkard
shall be conveyed and kept in the hos
pitfalls for a term Of not less than six
months for occasional and periodical
drunkenness and not less than one year
for an habitual drunkard.

states They were drawn mp by the
lating to the prevention of fraudulent
divorces, and makes it uniform with
other states. The other establishes
uniformity in the acknowledgment Of
deeds.

A Remedy for Cold Feet.

A writer in The Boston Journal relates
that more than twenty five years ago, when
he was a soldier in Virginia and troubled
with cold feet, he discovered remedy for
them. He says: "At one time while was
stamping upon the ground in the effort to
warm my extremities, comrade in the
same regiment said to me, II your feet are
cold try this He raised his foot from the
ground and stuck some light blows with
his hand on the upper part of his leg, just
above the knee. / did the same with both
legs, and instantaneously felt flow Of
warm blood coursing downward, and the
feet became comfortably warm. The ex-
pertinent WAS repeated with good effect in
the comparatively warm climate OF Vir-
ginia, and also with equally good results
in the more rugged atmosphere of New
England
