NERvY CONNECTICUT LADIES,
One Kills venomous Adder and tn,
other a Black Snake.

One Kills VenOmous Adder and the
other Black Snake.
Mrs. A. w. Greenslitt. smart lit
tie East Killingby housewife in Con-
necticut had an exciting encounter
with venomous and determined rep
tile. She was strolling about the
house in the forenoon in slippers,
and with a garden trowel in her hand
when she espied the tail OF a spotted
adder protruding from the grass into
the garden path. The snake un-
doubleday saw Mrs. Greenslitt ut
about the same time, and it worked
its tail slowly and menacingly.
Mrs. Greerslitt raised her polished
garden trowel and whacked him.
But she unhapplly underestimated
the length of the enemy and the
blow, instead OF falling on his head
smote it in the middle. The adder
retaliated by springing straight at her
face and fastening its fangs in her
right first finger. Finally she manag-
ed to take it off, but the instant it
struck the earth it threw itself into o
coil and sprang upon her again. This
time it fixed its fangs into fold Of
her dress and the frightened woman
flew into the house carrying tho ad-
dor along. There she smashed tho
adder with a piece OF stove wood.
Mrs. Greenslitt had been severely la
cerated by the snakes fangs. Her
hand and arm were badly swollen.
The snake was unusually large.
A few days later Mrs r. Z.
Spencer of Higannum in the
Connecticut Valley also distinguish
ed herself by killing big black
snake in the woods at Niger Rock.
The snake had attached itself to a
jutting piece OF the bowlder above
the woman's head. 1t evidently
didn't see her, for it was engaged in
the interesting act of charming Il
small bird. She hurriediy procured
long pole. and with one blow OF it
she fetched the black monster out OF
Its apparent spell aud TO the ground
at her feet. Then with q second
blow she dispatched it. At the
moment she hit the serpent the bird
was futtering and circling within a
foot OF the snakes jaws. The black
snake was about six feet long. The
bird suddenly came out of the spell
of enchantment that evidently had
been cast about it and flew into the
woods chattering its delight. ..1a.e

According to Science the snail is
very prolific. Assuming that the re.
productive season extends from March
to September and assuming further
that the snail lives but two years we
have the following estimate OF the

single pair: At the close OF first sea-
son, 900; $50 pairs at close of
second season, 1905. 900; original

The Tennessee Toiler: No wonder
there is Third party. The astonish-
ment should DO that 1t has not come
earlier. The Third party is the
natural outgrowth Of the gross in
justice and corruption OF both old
parties. And its mission Is to remedy
their manifold evils and to redeem,
defend and further the down-trodden
and too long neglected interests Of
the common people Of this country.
II Is born OF the sore dissatisfaction
on the part OF the laboring masses at
the spirit Of partially for capital and
its interests long obvious in the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
alike. They are pledged TO the same
national financial policies calculated

ever-scheming few who want the last
dollar. Excepting slight modifca.
ton on the tariff the old parties are
kith and kin.

The larger the shirt stud man wears
the more soiled is his shirt bosom, as q
rule.
A maa is never SO sure of having imita-
tors as when he does something he should
not do.
Every woman thinks she has right to
select the woman her husband should like
or dislike
The more tender hearted man is the
less likelihood that he ever gets off thor
oughly good joke.
People spend too much time in praying
to be good, and too little time in trying to
answer their own prayers
did you ever notice how bravo a man is
il killing hornet or humble bee when in
the presence Of a woman.
Every woman is sorry for some other
woman on account of something her nus
band told her about the other woman's
husband.
Every time womans acquaintances call

streets she pulls out handkerchief and
wipes it's nose.
Instead of painting grief with mournful
eyes, she should be painted with q red
nose No woman can cry without getting
her nose good and red.
So long as a mans mother lives there is
some one in the world who always believes
when he does wrong it is because he is too
young TO know better
1T is rather hard on the men, but no un-
married woman ever gets up in prayer
meeting and talks about her trials and bur-
dens being harder that she can bear.
There seems TO be some sort of a social
law that makes girl woman II she mar

girl at 30. A man may always be one of
the boys, no matter what his age.
After most men pass 40 they begin to fall
into the staying at home habit. 1t is just
this time that the babies are grown and
out of tie way and their wives begin to
fall into the go-out-more habit.

SEEN AND HEARD.

This crisp, cool weather sends the sports
men out TO warm up their blood in the ex-
citing hunt. Last Sunday evening crowd
stood watching one who had brought back
six or eight big fat rabbits and who, evil

waiting for the car, while the lazy fellows
who had staid at home piled him with
questions such as. pretty tired are you
not.n ssHard work is 1t notl' "Much
game arounda" Finally he grew tired of
pace, gun over his shoulder and his dinner
in his hand. No doubt those rabbits will
taste far better than any he could buy, and
deservedly so.

General Gossip About Plays and Players

last week several gay galaxies of our peo-
pie and embraced scenes Of varied interes t
OF the pageant The HERALD's society col
umns give an interesting review. and of
Salvinrs engagement it may be said here
that it proved to be an event of unusual
interest.
The engagement opened with D. Ennery's
famous romance, "Don CAzar de Bazan,"
followed Friday evening and for yester-
days matinee by dramatization OF
Dumas popular creation, THE Three
Guardsmen.' Neither of these is nov
city, nor can it be said that young Salyini
impaired to either any new renditions.
There is, however, an enthusiasm and
dash about Salvinis acting which produce
pleasing and sometimes thrilling effects.
Conspicuous among the events attending
Salyinis engagement was short dramatic
and musical episode, /" il we may call it so,
lasting not quite an hour, but having q
lasting impression. 1t was the presenta-
tion of sCavalleria Rusticana," Mas
cagni's famous one-act opera, dramatic
version with Salvini, MIR. Redmund and
Miss Berolde az the prominent members of
the cast. The chief interest CEN
tered in the music. and the looked

admirable manner by the theatre orches-
ira considerably reinforced. In the action,
Turriddu (SaivlnD neglects his sweetheart
