lie L, More Formidable Than the Rat
tier, as One Woman's Experience Can
Show.

Ask any OF the farmers or hunters in
this part of Monroe county whether
thew are afraid of rattlesnakes. and
they will answer promptly that they
don't mind them very much. writes a
Pennsylvania correspondent. Ask them
if they fear blacksnakeS. and they will
say yes without the slightest hesita-
ton. This fear of blacksnakes has
come down to most OF them from their
parents. with Il story that none OF them
is ever tired of telling. They all de-
clare that it is true and it is so well
known. and is told with so much
solcmnily and evident fear by the
natives. that it is hard to disbelievc it.
The story runs like this:
MANY wears ago well-to-do farmer
lived with his family near the barren
land verging Oh Pike county. His
wife was city bred aud unused to many
Of the I.ardships that are II part of the
farming womans life. She was strong
aud hardy however, with plenty of
nerve. and grit enough to make the
best of Things. One day, while her
husband was working in clearing a
good distance from the house, she
went down to the spring for Il pail of
water. As she stopped over TO fill the
pail IL blacksnake that had been lying
coiled near the spring jumped ut her.
She screamed and jumped back. but
the snake had buried its fangs in her
dress, and before she could recover
herself sufficiently to shake him off. lie
had wound himself about her so tight
~ as TO prevent her from walking.
Then he began slowly to crawl up
ward. The poor woman struck ut the
snake with her hands.
They were badly bitten, but she was
so overcome with fright that she did
not mind this aud kept on striking at
him. The serpent kept crawling up
until his coils were about her breast.
She tried to tear him loose. but she
was not strong enough. She became
nearly paralyzed with terror. The
snake finally coilcd himself around her
neck and choked her. She started
toward the house, but she had only
gone 4 short distance when she fell.
In the evening she was found by her
husband lying dead, with the snake
still coiled about her neck.
This story with the well-known fact
that blacksnake is ever ready and
willing TO fight anything that lives,
makes the native afraid of him. and
the man who kills blacksnake is
thought to have won Il greater battle
than the slayer of a dozen rattlesnakes.
You can't brighten a black snake. !"
said one old hunter. land the more
you try to the more he amt fright
eued. A rattlesuake is coward, and
will run if you give him half a chance.
If Ire doesn't get the chance he will
rattle in fear and then strike in des-
peration. \ rattleSnake's bite is not
nearly rs dangerous as many people
suppose. All that you have to do to
render the wound harmless is to cut in
as deep rs the fangs went, then 90 to
the nearest brook and wash it thor
oughly. A common poultice will
soon heal the wound made by the
knife. But if big blacksnakc tackles
you, and you give him chance TO get
one coil about your body, why, then,
look out, for it is your life or his"

A Well-iiGhteu Room.

What Il cheerful influence there is in
well-lighted room! 1t seems TO give
a different expression 10 each article of
furniture, as it does to the countenance,
bringing out the soft tints of the pic
lures and draperies, making eyes spark
lie and rosy checks glow in its mellow
rays. and rejecting brightness over all.
On the other hand. what Il depressing
effect there is in a room dimly lighted!
An atmosphere of gloom peryades eT-
erything. No one seems inclined to
talk or work and every one is literally
cast in the shade, when often it may be
remedied 10y Il little more attention
from the housckeepcr. If kerosene is
used, 1t may become muddy, and the
basin of the lamp requires emptying
occasionally. or the chimneys need
washing, and wicks to be trimmed or
the burners cleaned.
If the gas is poor and hickerS, it is
far better TO use lamps for sewing or
reading, rs nothing can be more iniur-
ious to the eyes than attempting any
work by IA poor light. Whether it is IA
matter of economy or indifference is
immaterial, but there are many rooms,
where the family assemblies in the
evening, where the light is so dim and
suggestive of sick-room that it is
a positive relief when visit is over;
and one can but wonder why people
are so constituted that they cannot APP
preciate tho advantage of clear and
shining light. which renders many Il
