Snake Swallowed the Baby.

George Wharton, of Brown county,
tells a blood curdling snake story Mrs
William Huxelly, living in log cabin,
was making soap in the back yard, hav-
ing kissed her sweet little months babe
to sleep in the cradle. Presently tho
baby screamed, and she rushed in and
was horror stricken to find hideous
blacksnake Of enormous size trying to
swallow the child 1t had engulfed the
hand and swallowed it up to the arm
pit and was writhing in its contortons
and efforts to make further progress.
Grasping the hideous reptile in the mid
die, it seemed to relax its hold and dis
gorgs the child's arm, then turned upon
its mother. She dashed it to the floor,
and in her wild frenzy stamped it to
death. 1t proved to be OF the black
racer species, Z feet inches long, and
measuring 81 inches in circumference.
The babe livel. and the only inconven-
fence it suffered from its terrible ex-
perience was that its arm and hand
were blistered as if scalded in hot ater.

The following lines were written on
the death of Henry Sitter, of Waller,
who died January sd, 1891, aged SC
years, 10 months, 7 days
Call not back the dear departed
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the border land we left them,
Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes,
Whenwe leave this world of care.
We shall find our missing loved ones
In our Fathers mansion fair.
While you lived with us, dear father,
Thou didst suffer great distress,
But you have left us and our mother
And gone home there to be blessed.
You have left me, dearest husband
And have gone with Christ to dwell;
Tis God that hath bereft me,
He can all my sorrow heal.

The Land Is n Paradise for the Hunter

To the bear hunter the wilds of Alaska

The most chosen are those of the black
bear. which roam the woods by hun
dreds, and prime skins bring from s2J
up to as high as 800 each in the market.
During the excursion season tourists
from all parts Of the globe make ihriv-
ing trade for Alaska merchants in the
bear skin line.
There are five distinct species of the
bear in Alaska-the black, brown or
all portions of southeastern Alaska
and the upper portion of the Yukon
country. Further north, i'm the st.
Elias Alps. is the home of grizz v
which in size, ferocity, and color much
resembles the grizzlies Of the Sierra
Nevadas, and still further north, along
the low er reaches of the Yukon and the
ice fields of the Arctic Ocean, is the
white polar bear. AS brave and skillful
in hunting bear as the Alaska Indian is,
he seldom hunts the ST Elias grizzly,
both because there is little profit in the
hides and the great size and ferocity Of
the leasts make hunting them most
hazardous undertaking.
Their mode of killing them is by
shooting into them from q heavily
charged smooth bore musket heavy
slug of lead, copper, or iron, then await
ing their charge, which never fails to
follow the shot, with long, heavy. and

the weapon on the ground and planting
one foot firmly against it. The point of
the spear rests ut an angle to pierce the
bear i'll the breast, and the bears own
weight, when it strikes the spear in its
mad charge, is calculated to drive the
weapon through him or pierce him deep
enough to cause death. As will be read.

hunters courage should fail him, or Ly

bear hunting may have its advantages,
but only the Alaska Indian has the cour-
age to try the experiment.

Knew His Denomination Even in Stamps.

Constituents make great mistake
in sending new and inexperienced
men to the Legislature every session
or two. They not only do an Unjust
ice to themselves but TO the State at
large, 1t takes bright man to 'catch
onto" the ways of legislation in one
session, and until he is initiated he is
like blind pup at barn raising
only in the way. Some of the raw
material from the rural districts will
be a long time in developing into
Clays and Websters. AS sample of
their unsophisticatedness, a member
from western county, when he re-
ceived his order for postage stamps,
went to the city post Office and asked
for them.
"What denomination asked the
clerk.
Lutheran" replied the member
modestly, but he could not for the life
of him see what that had to do with
the matter in hand-HorriS6ur9

There are three kinds of unselfshness
that which springs from sense Of
duty, that which springs from natural
benevolence toward ones species, and
that which springs from love. The first
of these is o conscious unselfishness;
the second is so in less degree; but the
third may be and very often is uncon-
scious of itself altogether. None the
less it needs to be dragged into the light
now and then, and carefully examined,
lest it too, beautiful though it is, should
degenerate then and there into some-
thing not very far removed from its
opposite.

A Dogs Teeth Filled With Gold.

A travelling dentist that now and
then visits Birmingham has pet dog
whose decayed front teeth are filed
with gold. The dog had the tooth
ache some time ago, and his master,
after examining the decayed teeth, fill
ed out the cavities very neatly and put
several dollars worth of gold into them
The dog kicked vigorously against the
operation and howled too, but some
one held him in the chair, and the
dentist performed the job successfully.

Every Man His Own Grave Digger
GanarnI NVipfinll Scott boJ no r,,oI;,

General Winfield Scott had no feelings
of compassion for dissipated men and
had his own IDEAS rs to the proper
remedy for intemperance One of his
military orders, given when he was in
command at Rock Island, in 1882, which
has been discovered in the Iowa State
library, throws some light on his pecul-
lar notions on this subject. The order
is copied in full in the current number
of the Magazine of American History
and relates to the appearance of cholera
among the soldiers at Rock Island and
to the sanitary measures to be pursued.
Various precautions in the way of clean
illness, the use of flannel clothing, etc, ,
are recommended on the authority of
the physicians. but, the order continues:
"The commanding general. who has seen
much of the disease. knows that it is in
temperance which, in the present state
of the atmosphere, generates and
spreads the calamity, and that, when
once spread, good and temperate men
are likely to take the infection. He
therefore imperatively commands that
every soldier or ranger who shall he
found drunk or sensibly intoxicated
after the publication of this order be
compelled as soon as his strength will
permit, to dig grave at a suitable
burying place large enough for his own
reception, as such grave can not fail
soon to be wanted for the drunken man
himself or some drunken companion.
This order is given as we'll to serve for
the punishment of drunkenness as to
spare good and temperate men the labor
of digging graves for their worthless
companions.

a Sullivan County Girl.
SHE HAS A PET DEER THAT FOLLOWS
HER LIKE MARY's LAMB.

Miss Margaret Waterman, a rosy
checked country maiden of twenty
two is the mistress of a handsome pet,
says an exchange. She is the oldest
daughter Of Farmer Clarence L. Wat
erman, whose broad acres table on the
hillsldes of the lower part Of Jackson
Hollow, Sullivan county, Pa, and her
pet is beautiful tame buck named
Byron. Miss Waterman caught Byron
when he was very young fawn.
That was two years ago last Spring,
and from that day to this Byron has
never followed anyone except his fair
captor. She teaches the district
school, and her handsome pet ac-
companies her to the school house in
the morning, browses in the nearby
woodland, and rests himself until
school is out, when he canters out of
the thicke;. bounds to the side of his
mistress, licks her hand, and walks
home with her. Dogs give Byron all
the roadway, for if they don't he
pitches at them, gives them a clip
with his sharp hoofs and sends them
off yelping. Byron sticks to Miss
Waterman closer than a brother, and
whenever she goes to the village they
shut him up in pen. During her alb
sence he is unhappy, and when she
returns and liberates him he bleats for
joy, licks her hands, and romps about
as though he had been imprisoned a
month.

Latest Form of Rubber Pavement

The municipal authorities of Brussels
have decided to experiment on the new
compound "caoutchous macadam. A
portion of one of the principal yards of
the city is being paved with this ma.
terial. The compound consists of a
mixture of India rubber and different
kinds of stones ground up together and
converted into sort Of cement by
means of heat The material is stated
to be hard, elastic, and durable and to
be unchanged by either heat or cold. 1t
is anticipated that it will prove eN-
tremely well adapted for running tracks
and lawn tennis courts.

from rheumatism when they take
