ON hi BRIDES ARM.
Amusing Incident at a Massachu-
sets Wedding.

Amusing Incident at a Massachu-
setts Wedding.
Mrs. Gregg had one OF the prettiest
weddings that ever took place in the
Massachusetts town in which she lives,
But there was one odd incident of the
occasion which q few of her friends,
who are in the secret, recall with much
amusement. Althongha lady ofquiet
taste, Mrs. Gregg wore something
which certainly no bride ever wore be-
fore.
Her wedding present from her old
friend Doctor Jameson was an ex.
quisite affair of lace, embroidery and
white satin ribbon, which he had
brought from Paris. 1t came just as
the wedding party were starting for
the church.
"What a lovely bag!" exclaimed the
bride; II am going to wear 1T. That
will please dear Doctor JAMESON"
and slipping the white satin strings
over her arm, she thought no more OF
it until after the ceremony.
"That is a beautiful bag, and so
odd" "Inever saw q bag like it. The
material is beautiful" commented
some of her friends.
II suppose the style is new" re-
piled Mrs. Gregg. doctor Jameson
brought it to me from Paris. l am
delighted with it,"
"Did you put anything in it," ask
ed Doctor Jameson; who had been
listening to this conversation with q
smile that was suspiciously near a
laugh.
"No," replied Mrs. Gregg; "In put
my handkerchief in. What-why-
why, there's no bottom in it. What
is it, Doctor Jameson"
"Well," replied Doctor Jameson
II bought it for a lamp-shade!"
And it was alamp-shade, edged with
lace and drawn up at the top with
white satin ribbon.

An Ipmi9rant,s Despair.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Dot. 8.-Louii
Donat, ~ years old and unmarried.
came here from Germany six months
ago.. He was q powerful fellow, fair
haired and %blue-eyed, with 9 very hon
eat face, industrious and honest. He
was reasonably educated. but was slow
in learning the language. When his
railway fare to Texas was paid he had
no money left. he struggled manfully
against misfortune. but was of q proud
nature and did not tell his troubles to
such Germans as he knew. BE went to
bed at 9 O'Clock and was found dead in
the morning. He had swallowed five
grains of morphine. He left q letter in
his native tongue, warning his country
men to keep away from this country
unless they have plenty Of money and
are able to speak English.

~RATTLESNAkE POISON.

How Physicians Extract It From
the Snakes at the Philadelphia
"Zoo."
The novel spectacle of a well-known
physician Of this city extracting poi
son from one of the deadly rattle
snakes at the 400" was Witnessed by
q large crowd of visitors recently.
The spectators stood at a respectable
distance, for the hideous reptile hlssea
viciously and showed every evidence
of intense rage. Just what the doc
tors do with the poison after they get
it is a professional secret that has
never leaked out. 1t is used as a
medicine in some kind of nervous dis
eases, so it is said, and as a CONNER
cial product the poison is worth
several times it's weight in first water
diamonds. The method of obtaining
the poison is interesting and exciting.
The doctor is usually assisted in the
operation by Head Keeper Bryne,
who thoroughly understands the hab-
it's of all the animals at the "Zoo."'
The doctor approaches the r~attlesnake
cage with a stick about q yard long,
on one end of which is a stout leather
loop that tightens when the stick is
raised. This is inserted at the top Of
the cage, and instantly every snake
coils himself for. a spring and sends
out a warning rattle. The loop is
deity slipped over the head OF the
reptile before it has had a chance to
spring, and the stick is quickly with
drawn with the snake dangling from
n end of it. No time is lost in pull
ing the snake out of the cage, as the
other enraged snakes are sure to sink
their poisonous fangs into the body
of their dangling comrade.. The as.
sistant then holds q large pane OF
glass in front of the snake, and the
doctor dashes his hand against the
other side of the glass until the reptile,
after sending forth the warning rattle,
dashes his head against the protect
ina pane, and invariably there is left
. tiny drop of poison on the glass.
This is carefully put in q tiny vial,
and the precious package is stored
away in the DOCTORS safest pocket.
The doctors never obtain but one
drop at a visit, as this seems to DO.
enough to make medicine for a long
