cIoe. Winding snakes.

The people Of Persia are very unwilling
20 have house snakes destroyed. The
creatures do no harm, and what is more
important, they are believed to be ten
nnted by the spirit of the late master of
the house. English travellers and resi-
dents in the country naturally entertain
a very different opinion, and sometimes
find the superstitions of the natives trial
hard to bear. DIR. Wills, in his "Land
of the Lion and the Sun, recounts one
Of his own experiences.
In my first house In Shiraz, an old and
handsome one. was continually an
noyed by buzzing. as of the winding Of
clockwork. This, / was told, proceeded
from the snakes, but never saw one,
though the buzzing was to be heard in
all parts of the house.
One morning / was attracted by an un-
usual twittering OF birds, and on looking
out saw some 30 sparrows on the top of a
wall, all jumping about in an excited
manner, screaming, chattering, and open
ing their beaks as il enraged.
AT first was at loss to understand
the cause of such a commotion. but
presently saw pale yellow snake adj
vancing deliberately upon the birds from
the wooden windowframe, out of which
he hung. They appeared to be all OF
of them quite fascinated, and none at
tempted to fly away. The snake did not
take the nearest, but deliberately chose
one more to his liking, and swallowed it.
Glad to be rid of my buzzing annoy
ances, got my gun, and notwithstand-
ing the entreaties of the servants, some
of whom wept, assuring me that the rep
tile was inhabited by the late master Of
the house, gave him dose of duckshot.
He was big snake, about four feet
long. cut him open and extracted the
sparrow. After some 10 minutes expos
ure to the sun the bird got up, and in
half an hour more few away, apparently
unhurt.
Sortly afterward a servant of my land-
lord came and took away the snake ,
body, and all my own servants suIked
and looked black for week. When
spoke to my landlord, however, an edu-
Gated man, he laughed, and simply con-
graduated me, saying that the clock
winding snake had annoyed him for
years. never heard the noise again.

1t is the unanimous testimony of
travellers that Port Said is the wickedest
small city in the world. THE sink of
creation" is the phrase commonly APP
piled to the place by those who know its
vices. At Port Said all vessels passing
through the Suez Canal are detained
from three to six hours. and during that
short time sailors and travellers become
the victims of vicious men and women
who are attracted to Poct Said by the op-
portunities offered by its peculiar char
acter. The ontcasts of every great
European city find ia Port Said con
genial resting place.-Chicago TribuEe.

wHArrHEY ARE GOOD OR.

Brandreth's Pills are the best medicine
known.
First-They are purelyfsvegetable, in
fact medicine food.
Second-The same dose always pro-
duces the same effect-other purgatives
require increased doses and finally cease
acting.
Third They purify the blood.
Fourth-They invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other deprayed
secretions.
The first two or three doses tell the
story. The skin becomes clear, the eye
bright, the mind active, digestion is re-
stored. costiveness cured, the animal
vigor is recruited and all decay arrested
BTandreth's Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

In travelling through the mining dis
tricts of the Rocky Mountains. one is
often surprised and amused at the queer
fsnciful or poetic names given by miners
to their mines or claims, or even 10 the
little log cabins in which they live. The
writer has in an old notebook list OF
such names, gathered in aud around
Leadville.
The list begins with Sweet Marjorie, I"
a name given to AN undeveloped claim
far above timber line. Near by was the
~Girl Left Behind Me-, owned by a
manly, honest looking young fellow Of
% or %, who no doubt had many happy,
helpful thoughts Of the girl he had left
behind him while working eagerly and
hopefully on the claim that might make
them both rich.
Down in the gulch a brawny, full
bearded man was welding the pick Wig
orously in the tunnel of the "Baby Belle -
mine, while post driven in the ground
not far distant indicated the location of
The Little Sass Box" claim.
In another gulch were claims called
My Sweet Heart, DANDY jim. Just
My Luck, Daddy's Delight, and Gun
of the Range" The Pretty Polly Penn
berton" had becomes paying mine, while
near by two boyish appearing young fell
lows had staked out The Last cent"
claim.
1t means, one of them said, that
we've spent our last copper for tools aud
grub to keep us alive till we see if there's
anything in this piece of ground.
And il there is notl" / said.
well, then, Wen get somebody to
grub stake us on claim until we strike
something. People don't starve to death
in this country, anyhow"
Nevertheless, there was claim not far
distant, called the Starvation.
"The Fairy Queen" and Morning
Star" were favorite names among the
miners, and the Last Chance" and
Last Hope" were not uncommon. One
deserted shaft had bit of paper tackled
to post to indicate that its name was
"The Fair Dream" The long deserted
shaft and the sunkcn roof of the cabin
near il told their own sad story OF a
"fair dream" that had come to naught.
Over a cabin door was a pine board on
which was painted in black letters, "Tho
Missouri Lead In the cabin there
lived a boy Of 10 who was prospecting
ION his own hook. as he himself said
when he came to the door with his hands
covered with dough from the "batch Of
biscuits he was making for his supper.
A humorous vein in the owners Of
some claims was indicated by such
names as the "Thompson's Mule, :"
Hello, Sassy Jane, Busted, -" Han.
ner Marier" and "Here we Air" claims.
The owners OF claims with such names
rs these were likely to be quite as happy
without as with the fortunes they sought
for in the granite walls of the mountain
slopes. In many cases they were better
off seeking wealth than they would hare
beGn in the sudden possession of it.
