NOVELTIES.
A Diversified Batch of Curios
in Many Fields.
Developments in the Unique and Mar
velous - New Ideas and In
yentions.

Fred A, Pond, of Webster avenue, Chi
cage, relates the following to the Tribune
of that city; My fathers grandfather's
family consisted of thirteen brothers and
two sisters. The aggregate weight of all
the last time they met at the old homestead
was 5000 pounds. The average height of
each was fraction over six feet. l have
heard my father say he has seen his father,
who was below the average of his brothers
in height, weight and muscle, throw in
quick succession several forty gallon casks
of cider over an ox-cart with ease, and
have also seen him lift one of the same
sized casks by the Climbs to his lips and
drink therefrcm. At one time ten of the
brothers went to a barn raising. They
lifted the bend, 30x40 feet. with its sixteen
inch posts and fourteen-lnch square tim
bers, without any effort. Old New Eng
landers will know what that meant. Ira
Pond was a man NOTED for his great
strength. He could take any two of his
brothers, one in each hand, and handle
them with ease.

Household an.Books.

One book is devoted TO household ana
cooking recipes, things to GO in an emer-

ing, etc. In fact, it is perfect uade mecum.
for house keeper.
A large book holds a collection of good
short stories that deserve to be read again
and again. That this book is a favorite is
attested by the ragged condition of its
cover.
Fun and Fancy Is the title of another
volume which is a collection of good Jokes,
conundrums, comic pictures, etc. II is a
book to make one "laugh and grow fat,n
and it is good, clean kind of fun. There
is nothing in the least coarse about it. 1t

A Rattlesnake Rancher.

There is man who lives in the Ozark
mountains, Mo, who follows the occupa-
ton of raising rattlesnakes for the sake of
the oil their bodies yield. He utilizes about
forty acres of ground for this strange in
dustry, and he keeps the reptiles within the
boundaries of this ground by providing
them with plenty of food aud an abundance
OF artificial dens. 1t is estimated that on
this forty acres there are fully 10000 full
grown rattlesnakes, and on warm days
'rattlesnakes of all sizes and conditions
are seen lying around in profusion or
crawling over the rocks, squirming aud
twisting In heaps, while the deadly whirr
OF the rattles makes music which strikes
terror to the heart of one uuaccustomed to
the situation. Above all is that terribly
nauseating odor which fills the whole air.
and drives away anyone not accustomed TO
such an offensive scent.'
