Rattle Snakes Foe.

1t is a we'll known fact that the
Roadrunner, probably better known
as the GROUND Cuckoo, is an implaca-
BILE enemy of rattle snakes. Finding
one asleep he is corraled with leaves
of species of cactus, growing in
great abundance in the habitat Of
the cuckoo. AS soon as the corral
completed he is awakened by the
sprightly cuckoo, when nothing else
presenting the snake vents his spite
on the prickly walls of his enclosure.
Finally killing himself in his mad but
fruitless attempts for liberty.
Antelopes are also remorseless
enemies of rattle snakes. His snake
ship can only strike from a coil-s
fact of which the antelope seems
we'll informed. He will cautiously
approach his eoiled and buzzing Ell
envy and by stamping and extending

In that event the foot is quickly with
drawn and before the rattle snak
can recoil, the antelope has jumped
upon his outstretched from with al
four feet. Every hoof cuts like
knife, and only one or two roupd
are needed to kill the largest rattl
snake.

Rich Poor Woman.

Neighbors often wondered how the
Wilson's could afford 50 many nice
things about the house. The nap
kins had embroidered letters in the
corners-work done while Nettie was
waiting for the men to come to dim
ner. The parlor had divers orna-
ments of applique work that looked
like costly embroideries, all accom-
plished at odd moments, and too
cheap to be called an extravaganza,
even in a frugal farmers home. Mrs.
Wilson had from her earl y married
life insisted on having a small allow
ance that she could use without &C
counting for it, and this had enabled
her to keep up the appearance OF
things without worry or wrangle. Sne
had often seen women Inundated by
having to beg and explain, and stint
and strive for little things, and she
had resolved never to marry till she
could have this concession made to
her judgment in small matters. Some
had said it was foolish, almost an un-
natural thing for woman to have
separate purse, and that it showed a
want of family union, but she used
to remark, 81 find that it usually
falls out that where there is one purse
it is apt to be in the husbands peck
ct when the wife needs it, and | pre-
fer to know my own resources.
This experiment had worked sc
well that others began to copy it, anc
there had grown up comfortable
spirit of independence among theil
special friends. Some of the wise
ones feared this might lead TO dan
gerous social consequences, and oc
casionally good deacon or an aget
, local preacher inquired of Mr.. Wilson
: if it didn't make discord in the faml

Honey Ants.

These ants have abdomens disten-
ded to the size of a current, filled
with sugar or honey which they eX-
tract from the soft green gals to be
found on the scrub oaks. They
build their nests, which are conical
shaped. gravel covered mounds, on
the eastern and southern slopes of the
ridges. These ants are nocturnal
workers and set out after dark to the
scrub oak cOpses. 1t is sometimes
daylight before the last forager re-
turns with his store of sweets. They
are largely welcomed by the stay-at-
homes and assisted into the nest,
where by the muscular contraction of
a sac within the abdomen they expel
the honey through the esophagOus,
out around the mouth, when 1t Is
greedily licked by grubs, the ant
queen and winged wales. These
honey-bearers live q lazy life upon
the roof and walls of honey-rooms
They are faithfully attended by the
workers, who cleanse them frequen-
tly, as a cat does her kittens. When
honeymoon is violently opened the
workers show the utmost soilc.tude
for the honey-bearers, and some viii
seize them by the jaw or nip them by
the abdomen and pull them along
while others push from behind. The
honey these insects secrete is of al
aromatic flavor and is esteemed
great dainty by the Mexicans.

The Cross Mother.

At no time in her busy days is an
intelligent mother so apt to fold the
arms and close the eyes of maternal
Justice as when she is cross-simply
and undoubtedly cross. This cross
ness is chiefly caused by fatigue
WEAKNESS of mind and body, and
sometimes soul. With tired nerves
and weary body she can not endure
the common demands made upon her
and i'll temper follows. She sows
bitter feelings and repels loving at
tentions with her irritable, hasty
words. Broadly speaking, no moth
er has any right to get SO tired. She
can not afford it. 1t takes too much
out of her life, and too much out of
her children's lives. Such condl-
ton can more frequently be prevent
ed than is generally believed.
The careless or shallow woman
saws q was overworked. 1t made
me cross She considers that adj
mission the sufficient reason and ex-
cuse for any amount of similar indul-
gence. The religious or sympathet-
ic woman worries over it, prays over
it, sheds bitter tears-and then the
trouble repeats itself. The remedy
lies near at hand. Let a mother find
out what makes her cross, and then
let her avoid the cause if possible.
If social pleasures weary her, let
them be decidedly lessened. If there
is too much sewing, too much cook
ing, or too many household cares
lessen them. If economical efforts
cause the severe strain, stop econo-
MIXING at such cost. That is the
worst of wastes. Let the first econ
omy be of that precious commodity,
a mothers strength. Even the ex-
tent of ones religious and philan-
thropic work should be carefully ex-
amined, and if the trouble lies there
calmly and wisely dismiss some OIL
all of it from the list Of duties, for
ssWhat doth it profit a man if he gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?" 1t is surprising how easily
seeming interests or deeds can be
spared without injury to the home
life whenever the thoughtful woman
seeks to find them, and surely one
of the worst of household influences
| is mothers crossness.

In answer to those ''friends of

in this placer" we reply, we are
creating public sentiment, and it is

he is too good a hus0andman to ex-
pect all seeds to grow. Some will
fall on stony ground; the birds of

pie, the allurements of the saloon,
the bad examples of others, will all
conspire to lessen our harvest. Our
