Keep Your Eng asements.

There are certain habits and small
virtues whose presence makes so vast
a difference in family life that any one
neglecting them is found 1shard to live
with, limo severe criticism is allowed,
though this is indeed severe enough,
and / sometimes think that Carlyle's
mother, when she spoke of her illustri-
ousson as s.hard to live with, nmadea
criticism pom him keener and more en-
during than any of his Nominations
against fraud and vice.
None OF these virtues are beyond
our earnest effort; all are capable Of
cultivation, and each one is founded
on the divine law OF doing to others
as we would wish Others to do to us.
Punct uality, for instance; did itever
occur to you that the lack of this
good habit springs from selfshness?
What right has any member OF the

Raising Rattlesnakes.

As it is usually considered desirable
to get rid OF such unpleasant neigh
bors, this is an occupation quite out
OF the common way. An old hunter,
accustomed to all kinds Of dangers,
found that there was money to be
made in selling rattlesnake oil to the
druggists, and as he had the good
fortune to live among mountains
where rattlesnakes were plentiful, he
concluded to try the experiment of a
rattlesnake farm
Instead OF clearing away the rocks
from the side OF the hill on which he
had taken UP his abode, he gathered
more, until he had made a regular
snake grotto, with plenty OF holes in
it, and everything that snakes could
desire for a residence Catching the
reptiles and introducing them to their
new quarters were mere child's play
for so experienced a hand, and the
queer farm was soon progressing
finely. I
But the hunter did not wish to re-
ceive calls from his wriggling tenants,
he took care to build his own dwelling
very substantially Of stone, and
cemented it both inside and out be-
fore he stocked the farm. No snake
could get in very easily, even had it
been disposed to leave the charming
quarters so carefully provided for
it; and this feeling Of se-
curity was great help to
the courageous man in managing his
colony. Day after day he brought
home fresh recruits, until the assem-
blage had reached the respectable
number Of ten thousand or so; and
every year about two thousand are
killed for the sake of their oil, which is
used in making liniments. 1t seems
strange, indeed, that any healing
property should be found in one Of
the most venomous Of reptiles.
Rattlesnakes, like bears, 60 into
winter-q quarters for a long sleep, and
in the autumn, they are always in
their best and --LATEST condition.
This is the season, therefore, when
they yield the most oil and tits known
as killing time" on Rattlesnake
Farm. The snakes come daily to be
fed in a cleared spot, like domestic
animals, and are then easily caught
with a slip-noose of wire. After being
despatched, they are taken to the
house, and thrown into a caldron to
render out the Oil, which is put into
heavy BOTTLES, aud shipped to whole
sale druggists all over the country.

The Origin of "Whitecap.'

The origin of the term .sWhitecap,
according to the statement Of Hiram
Berry of New York, was not due to
the peculiar head dress worn by this
bad fraternity in Indiana, but to a
family in Ireland who engaged in this
kind Of reform. Nearly 100 years
ago, when Ireland was more opulous
than at present, and when the people
were not SO harassed by British mis-
rule, there lived in County Kerry
large and influential family named
Whitecap, who, whenever any OF their
neighbors became too obsterperous
or immoral, waited on them IN the
night, took them from their houses
and gave them a sound threshing
with a cato nine tails as warning
to desist from their wrong doing and
evil practices. Similar clans were
formed in other sections Of Ireland,
all OF whom were called Whitecaps,
not White Caps, two words, as they
are written in this country. The
Whitecaps in Ireland were a terror to
Isevil-doers, and were OF value to the
good order OF the society of their day,

Come in. Now, my dear sir, will you
