The Rattlesnake.. Rattles.

It is an error to suppose that rattles are shed each year as are the horns of the deer, or that new rattle is added each time the skin is shed. A friend of mine owned massasauga over one year, and while tho skin was exfoliated the rattles remained intact and without ad- ditions. Men who owned rattlesnakes of the diamond species in Florida informed me that an adult might add one or two rattlc5--that is, sections to the rattle
 in year, or again notpny, and that the changing of the skin exfoliation had nothing to do with the new formation. All agreed that tho older rattlers of the south were provided, as rule, with q longer rattle than the young ones. Said one man, pointing to six specimens of the diamond .rattlesnake (Crotnlus ada mantous) about sixteen inches long and pbssesiIed of 2 sinxla rattle epA inttfn".

WHY CHINESE NEVER SAVE LIFE.
They Regard It ns Interfering with the
 Intention of tho Creator.

They Regard It ns interfering with the
 Intention of tho Creator.
 Much has been written of the peculi- arities and eccentricities of the Chinese, but it is not generally known that the people of the Celestial empire will not rescue one another from accidental death.
 At q fire in San Francisco several years ago six Chinese were imprisoned in room by three half inch iron bars, which could easily have been broken away. There were two or three ladders in the neighborhood which could have been placed at the windows and the un- fortunates easily rescued from horri- ble death. There were hundreds of their countrymen looking on at their frantic efforts to escape. Yet they of fered no assistance and gave no evidence of sorrow.
 A man who has saved many lives, in speaking with Chinese once said they were very heartless and cited this San Francisco fire as an example, where upon the Celestial exclaimed:
 ''I tell you. You sabee Joss! Gol Almighty, ale samee. Chinaman call him Joss; Melican call him God. Call him anything. Ale samee. Now you say Col Almighty make ebletingF'
 "Yes, everything"
 "Make ale meny"
 "Yes."
 "Know ebleting2"
 "Yes."
 "Now, do you think you know more than Col Almighty?
 "No, do not"
 "He makee alice men. He see one man. He think him no good. He say, You no use; go die.' You think you know bette Col Almighty. You go swim; you no let man die. Col Al mighty he say: He velly smart. He catchee man l tell go die. Velly we'll, that man begin new. He cally that mans life all him sins, all him troubles, all him bad luck. You hab heap gooil thingsY"
 'No."
 'No hab much houses. much money, much landY'
 "No; not much"
 "All light, you nebbe hab much luck. How many you saver
 About fifty"
 "Oh, you nebber get out. You cally all fifty life. Ebleting you do, no fin ish. work alice time heap trouble. You nebbe get old; you live long time. Sabee fifty life. You live bundled years-had bad luck alice time. Col Almighty he sabee best."-Fire and Water.

Catching Roas.

"To catch a boa constructor is a diff cult and dangerous task" says man who makes it his business to capture wild animals and reptiles for menagerie purposes. "It is accomplished by laby- rinthian tangle, embracing sixty square feet of ground. The labyrinth is made by joining together, end on end, pieces of mating. This web is eight feet high usually, and placed so that the opposing walls will be two feet apart. All sorts of crisscross and diverging combinations are made with the matting-it is sup ported here and there by stakes-making, when it is set, geometrical puzzle that might well challenge the ingenuity of man.
 "The trap is baited with live pig, which is placed in pen in the corner of the labyrinth. By and by along comes the boa constructor. It is easy enough to get in. He scents the prey; he is very hungry; the pig is devoured, and here the boa comes to grief. For hours he tries to release himself. but finally he grows tired and stretches himself out for nap. Then is our time. We open the labyrinth and catch him. Days.

Ca,s Amonc the Ecyptian,.

The tutelar deity of cats was Diana, and according to Plutarch the cat was not only sacred to the moon, but was an emblem of it. Hence cats were treated with peculiar consideration in the land of the Pharaohs, the death of one being regarded as great family misfortune. Egyptian cat funerals were celebrated with the greatest pomp and ceremony, their late owners showing respect by snaving off their eyebrows and wearing sackcloth for nine days. In the time of Moses it was 8 capital crime to kill a cat, and we are told by Diodorus how a Roman soldier who killed one was tried, sentenced and finally put to death.--St. Louis Republic.

Whore vessels Cap.iue Frequently.


 The capsizing of vessel tied up to a pier is common enough in the Bay of Fundy and its tributary streams. The usual rise and fall of the tide along that bay is from forty to fifty feet. and high tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With the fall of the tide all craft are left high, but by no means dry. with an area of chocolate colored mud all about them. This mud is too shifting to hold ves- sel in safety, so each pier is provided with one or more strong wood frames called shoes, fixed at tie bottom of the stream or bay.
 Upon these shoes all vessels rest at low tide. It frequently happens, how ever, that vessel does not get her shoe snugly on, so to speak, and if strong wind comes when she is thus i'll bal anced, over she goes into the mud, to be buried forty feet under the next rising tide.--New York Sun.

Another horrid outrage has been per petrated on the American flag. Some campers from Youngstown, O., over near Port Stanley, Ont. had the stars and stripes hoisted over their tents in the wild wilderness up there, and some of the untutored natives of the region snatched it down and tore it to pieces. Those campers did not know how to conciliate the savage tribes who in habit Canada. If they had only opened beer saloon they might have flung to the breezes above it the flags of all nations at once. that of the United States included. Then the ignorant and barbarous Canucks would have come in peacefully beneath it's starry folds and taken drink. Any flag may be un- furled anywhere so long as it waves over a whisky shop.

Consul McCreery, of Valparaiso, says the people are working hard to develop the marvellous resources of their country. A few months ago a gold dollar was worth three dollars in Chilian paper money. Now the paper money has so appreciated that dollar and half of it is equivalent to one gold dollar.
