A GREAT SNAKE.

Can you imagine, dear boys and girls,
grown man, who was not only brave
but wise, almost paralyzed with fright2
Won. shall haar -haur IL bannanad nnca---
In the city of Washington is great
building called the Smithsonian Institu-
ticn, where many clever, busy men spend
all day, and every day, even sometimes
many years, studying about animals,
birds, insects, and all living things.
From every part of the country speci-
mems are sent to them to be studied, and
many curious creatures and marvels Of
nature find their way there.
One day great curiosity was received,
a huge and INDUSTRIOUS rattlesnake. am
afraid to say how long it was, because I
do not quite remember, but it was SO
very large that these wise and learned
gentlemen had not believed such thing
possible. They decided to take his pic
ture in very surprising way. First
they poured on his head, through the
grating of his cage, great quantities of q
drug called chloroform, in order to kill
him, giving him three or four times as
much as they thought necessary, to make
sure. Then, lifting him out of the cage,
they coiled him carefully in the very
manner to make him appear the most
terrible, and made, in soft, wet plaster,
a snake exactly like him. When the
plaster was dry, the wisest of all the
wise men sat down with paints and paint
brushes and carefully colored the plaster
snake to look precisely like the real one,
lying on a shelf near by, patiently copy
ing each little spot and stripe.
II cd md inst ot
dusk, pleased with his perfect work and
huTying to catch the last bit of daylight,
he bent eagerly over the nearly finished
picture, when suddenly, on the silent
air, sound arose that paralyzed his arm
and made his very heart stand still--the
sharp whir of rattlesnake. Quick as
thought he sprang across the room, then
turned, and there on the shelf was the
terrible creature he had for two whole
days believed to be dead, coiled, angry,
with fangs rapidly darting, ready to
strike. For one moment he was helpless,
half dead with fear, remembering only
that he had locked the door to keep out
curious visitors, and that the key was on
shelf near the enraged snake. The
next he seize bottle of chloroform,
soaked his handkerchief and threw 1t
dexterously over the head of the threaten
ing reptile. A moment of suspense and
the head dropped, the rattle was silent,
and once more the great snake was in
sensible, overcome by the drug. 1t took
but few minutes to open the door and
call for help, as you may suppose, and In
less time than it takes to tell it the snake
was carried off, killed most effectually,
cut up and buried. But should you
chance to visit the Smithsonian any day
you will see the plaster picture, and may
perhaps then realize how terrifying it
would be to be shut up, alone and de-
fenseless, in little room with a mon
strous, angry rattlesnake, which had
survived dose strong enough to have
killed three snakes Of ordinary size.

IN THE LIONS MOUTH.

A girl of fourteen was sent to the

behind the meat-block lay great tawny

dreams. "Oh, you beautiful old doggiel
What darling you are!" exclaimed the
girl, and in another moment she was
kneeling by him with her hand on his
lion head and her yellow braids half
buried in his brown coat. The dog
opened his sleepy eyes, licked her other
hand and wagged his tail, thereby signi-
flying that though he had not previously
had the pleasure of her acquaintance, he
considered her very nice girl indeed.
Looking up, the little maiden saw the
butcher standing in the door. His face
was white as death. "For mercy's sake,
keep stillr he cried. ''Come here,
Jack !" he added sternly to the dog, and
in a moment he had him by the chain.

THOSE pessimists who have made
UP their minds that all the public
lands in this country have long ago
been used up in allotments win be
surprised to learn that Uncle Sam is
about to throw open the "arid region"
to settlement very soon. Irrigation
is to make the lands heretofore &C
counted useless blossom as the rose,
and 100, 900, 900 acres Of the $50, 000,-
900 can be irrigated with existing
water supply. This hundred million
acres can furnish ample support to
twenty million families of five per-
sons each; SO that immigrants may
cross the ocean, for long time yet,
with the certainty of finding public
lands. A nation may be nourished
on tracts which the first explorers
considered worthless.

A Juggler's Trick.

The wonderful feats of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme Of
many a letter from travellers in the
Orient, but none are more surprising
than that for which an old sea dog,
now lying at the water front. Youch-
es. While he was an officer on board
the p. and o. steamers, two natives
came aboard at Madras, he says.
They were a juggler and his assist
ant. After they had performed a
number Of minor feats and gathered
quite a crowd around them, they
called for a sack and a piece Of sail
cloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made small, tent-like
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
In the sack and allowed a sailor to tie
the knot which bound him fast
prisoner. This done, the chief car
ried the sack into an open space,
warning the people to stand back
some distance, and then carried on
an animated conversation with his
assistant, whose replies could be dis
tinctly heard coming from the sack.
Suddenly the chief rushed forward,
picked up the sack and dumped it
overheard, where, to the horror of
the passengers and crew, it sank out
of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed
forward and seized the man, under
the full belief that he had murdered
his companion, but the juggler only
smiled, and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that it be raised. This was
done and the supposed drowned man
was discovered squatting on the deck.
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize that murder had not
been committed. Francisco Call.

Keep Out of the Ruts.

Warmers, as n class, are very apt to
get into ruts aud TO keep In them, says
an exchange, They get into the
habit of doing certain things every
day, and itseldom occurs TO them
that it might be good thing 10

stltuted differently from other peo-
pie, and there is no good reason why
the farmer, and especially his wife
and daughters, should not be helped
by an occasional outing as much as
the jewellers i'm cities. 1t IS true that
the farmers success depends largely
upon the daily personal care of his
stock and lis crops, and that it Is
rather more difficult for him to leave
his cares in charge of others than for
most men OF business. SJill 1t Is not
by any means impossible to arrange
matters in such way as TO leave
home for few days occasionally.
Perhaps neighbor Jones would be will
ling to change work with you for a
few days and see that your work is
we'll done, or perhaps you have son
who would be made TO feel more manly
II you left him in charge of things
1t may help him to learn to love a
farmers life, If you give him the reins
once in while and let him try his
hand at driving.

Tho Prices Of Elephants.

The great fair in India for the sale
of elephants Is held annually at
Sonepore, on the Ganges, at the time
that hundreds Of thousands of pill
grims assemble there to worship at
the shrine of silva and to battle in
the sacred river when the moon is
full in the months of October and
November The same kind OF THEW
ing and swindling goes on among the
elephant dealers as among the horse
fraternity.
Elephants are brought here from a
long distance, some even from Bur-
nah and Siam. The number for sale
seems to decrease every year, and the
prices rise enormously In consequence
Babool merchants are the principal
purchasers of them in the distant
provinces, and from there they are
taken for their long, weary march to
India.
The price realized by Mr.. Sander
son vary according to the age and
temper Of the captive, from ESQ TO
e400, or about $3.50 to $4,000. Ele-
plants are bought by the natives for
display, and no animal looks so well
In role for tomahsha; the pomr-
Gus pace of procession suits him to
perfection. But for this only male
elephants are used, and then only
tuskers, as they alone seem worthy
to carry the native mobiles; and the
muckna, or tuskless male, is sent
with the female to do work, such as
carrying baggage, wood, or fodder,
and, of course, is OF immense value
for hunting purposes. --Harper's Mag

EUGENE STEIRwALT, Of Chicago,
who has made four separate and dis
tinct attempts to shoot his former
wife, seems to be about as despicable
and villainous dog as 1t is possible
for an alleged human being to be-
come. The law is utterly inadequate
in such cases as his. II he had killed
the woman at his first attempt he
would have been locked up or put out
Of the way. Simply because he did
not succeed at first he was allowed to
remain at liberty and to try three
times more. Under such circum-
stances it is the duty of the womans
friends or relatives to defend her. A
good, sound thrashing after each of
his outbreaks would have a salutary
effect on Mr.. Steirwalt. Such
wretches as he are fortunately too
uncommon in this part Of the coun-
try to warrant the existence of the
whipping post. Here is chance for
a big brother or other muscular rela-
tive to do righteous act.

Sir Johns Advice.

A young shorthand reporter was
once told to report a speech by Sir
John Macdonald, says Spare Moments.
Now IL happened that the Canadian
premier had come to the House from
dinner party, and his speech in
matter and form was of a decidedly
postprandial character. The youth
full reporter, however, could not be-
lieve it possible that Sir John would
want editing. and took down every
word. His editor, on seeing the copy,
told him it would not do, and, "a 1t
was not wanted for the next morn
ing, he was advised to go and see Sir
John and get him to correct 1t. The
reporter, on being shown in, found
Sir John, as usual, exceedingly affa-
BILE. Having explained the object Of
his visit, the reporter was desired to
read his notes aloud. This he did,
while Sir John lay on a sofa listening
with face OF extreme solemnity TO
his own incoherencies, and correcting
them as the occasion required. When
the notes were finished the premier
arose, laid his hand on the young
mans shoulder, and began, in the
most fatherly of tones: al see exactly
what has happened. Now, my dear
young friend, am an old man and
you are a young one, and you will
therefore not mind IL 1 give you a
piece of advice as to the practice OF
your profession. My advice Is this:
Never attempt to report speech un-
less you are perfectly sure that you
are sober" With this Sir John
Bowed out his visitor.

Potatoes came from far Virginia;
Parsley was sent us from Sardinia;
French beans, low growing ON the earth,
To distant India trace their birth;
But scarlet runners, gay and tall.
That climb upon our garden wall
A cheerful sight to all around
In South America were found
The onion travelled here from Spain;
The leek from Switzerland we gain,
Garlic from Sicily obtains,
Spinach in far Syria grows;
Two hundred years ago or more
Brazil the artichoke sent DER,
And Southern Europe's sea-ccast shore
'Beet-root on us bestows
When 'Lizbeth was reigning here
Pease came from Holland, and were dear,
The south of Europe lays its claim
To beans, but some from Egypt came.
The radishes, both thin and stort,
Natives of China are, no doubt;
But turnips, carrots and sea kale,
With celery, so crisp and pale,
Are products of our own fair land;
And cabbages "a goodly tribe
Which ADLER pens might well describe
Are also ours, understand.

sands OF tounty and State fairs, We
seldom see a prize offered for the best
collection OF weeds. 1t seems incom-
patible with our fitness OF things to
have good collection OF anything
that Is bad, and yet the tact remains
that there is no class OF plants about
which an increase OF knowledge is
more imperative than these same
ugly weeds. A few dollars expended
In awards by each fair association
would bring together lists of plant
pests, the exhibition Of which would
not only surprise, but greatly instruct
those who see them. 1t is not less
important for the farmers OF any
district to know OF the arrival Of a
new weed than of the advent OF a
new fruit or grain.

CANADA is wiser than few months
ago. She did not then think that
there was any redress for her discrim-
nations against the vessels owned by
citizens of this country in her canals.
Although bound by treaty to give
equal rights, privileges and toll rates
to vessels owned in either country,
Canada nevertheless deliberately
placed higher canal tolls on Ameri-
can than on Canadian vessels. She
is reaping as she sowed. Canadians
who talk about getting along without
the United States always change
their minds when the United States
proposes to get along without Canada.

To Keep Apples.

A correspondent Of the National
Stockman gives his plan OF keeping
apples: "We made a board cave and
covered it with earth. The ends OF
the cave we boarded up about six
teen or eighteen inches from the bot
tom and banked up to carry of the
water leaving open above to admit
air until cold weather. The end
from the storm should remain open
all winter unless to severe freezing.
Put layer of straw in the bottom of
the cave and put the apples in as soon
as picked from the trees. Apples kept
in this way retain their flrmness and
flavor better than when kept in Gel
Jar We have apples up to date, June
10, that were put in the cave early
the previous fall. /"

THE theosophists Of New York

THE theosophists OF New York
have turned their astral eyes toward
Mars, and this is what they see: A
planet somewhat like the earth,
whose inhabitants have gone to one
of the five invisible Marses and left
the old ball to get into opposition
with the sun, if it likes that sort of
thing. What the Marsians have gone
to another and invisible Mars for the
theosophists do not say. Perhaps
they sloped into the invisible to es-
cape the astral eyes of the New York
theosophists. Perhaps there never
were any inhabitants. At all events
we decline to accept the testimony of
an astral eye which is unable to see
the moons of Mars. "Mars has no
