Has ITS Teeth in Its s,o,nach.

There is curious snake in South
Africa that lives wholly upon birds
eggs. Ii has no teeth or signs OF
teeth ia the mouth. the whole dental
array being located in the stomach!
Buckland says that they are not true
teeth, but that they serve all the pur.
poses. They grow from the centre
of each vcrtebre. They pass through
the walls OF the stomach and are GOV.
cred with enamel just like true teeth.
This is natures provision for break.
ing eggs without running the risk of
losing the precious contents, as would
be the case II this ecg-eating serpent
had its teeth in the proDer place.
When the egg is safe inside, the alb
dominal walls contract and crush it
against the long row OF vertebral
teeth.

Speeding "a bore.

Patent medicine is for the most
part worthless stuff. Now and then,
however, a bottle of IL may be OF real
service in the hands of some man who
knows how to use it.
In 1864 President Lincoln was
greatly bothered by the well-meant
but ill-advised efforts OF certain good
Northern men to bring about the ter
minatioh OF the war. An old gentle
man from Massachusetts, very bland
and entirely bald, was especially per-
sistent and troublesome.
Again and again he appeared before
the President, and was got rid OF by
one and another ingenious expedient-
One day, when this angel OF mercy
had been boring Mr.. Lincoln for half
an hour, to the interruption of I'm.
portant business, the President sud-
denly rose, went to a closet, and took
out OF it large bottle
''Did you ever try this remedy for
baldness?" he asked, holding the bot.
tie before his astonished visitor.
No; the man was obliged to confess
that he never had tried it.
Mr.. Lincoln called a servant, had
the bottle wrapped up, and handed it
to the bald philanthrophist.
There" said he, 'goand rub some
OF that on your head. Persevere.
They say that 1t will make the hair
grow Come back in about three
months and report"
And almost before he knew it, the
good man was outside of the door with
the package under his arm

Occasional Frosts.
Following is the weather crop bulle-
tin issued by the Weather Bureau:
Temperature-The week was warmer
than usual in New England, over the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains,
the plateau regions, and on the North
Pacific coast. The excess of tempera-
ture amounted to from 2 to 4 degrees in
New England and from 8 to degrees
in the Rocky Mountain regions, where
the week was exceptionally warm. In
the upper Mississippi Valley, lake re-
gion, and along the immediate Atlantic
coast nearly normal temperature pre-
vailed, while over the region from the
Central Mississippi and Ohio Valleys
southwark to the Gulf the week was
decidedly cooler than usual, the def
ciencies in temperature amounting TO
from to 6 degrees.
The seasonal temperature from March
/ is normal, or slightly above, along the
northern border from the Red River
Valley eastward to the Atlantic coast and
thence southwark to North Carolina.
1t was also normal or above in the
vicinity Of San Antonio, Texas. Santa
Fe, n. NJ, and Olympia, Wash. Else
where over the country the seasonable
temperatures are below the normal, the
most marked deficiencies occurring in
the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys.
Frosts have occurred throughout the
upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys,
and In New England have caused some
slight injury to corn. which Is now being
generally cut. II favorable conditions
continue corn will be safe in from ten
days to two weeks.
Cotton picking continues general, ex-
eept In Tennessee, where 1t has not yet
begun. and the picking OF the early crop
has been completed In Georgia.
The week has been generally favor
able for farm work and much plowing
and seeding has been done.

a slight fall OF rain along the North
California and South Oregon COASTS and
a light sprinkle In Northeast Oregon,
no rain fell during the week over the
region from the Mississippi River to the
Pacific coast. Over the greater part of
the country east of the Mississippi there
was more than the usual amount OF
rain, and from the lower lake region
southwark to the east Gulf coast the
excess amounted to from one to three
inches, being greatest in Southeast
Tennessee and Alabama and on the
East Florida coast. In Southern Vir-
ginia the weekly rainfall was slightly
below the average.
The seasonal rainfall from March 1
Is in excess of the average in the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri valleys, In the

Horrible Butchery and Sickening Spec
tacle Attendant Upon Illness.
William Loeb, aged 81, has been iii
with typhoid fever several weeks at this
home near Reading, Pa. The disease
made him insane, and within the last
few days his mania turned to religious
topics and he decided to make a sacri-
fee of one OF his family. He got out of
bed and beat his aged mother terribly,
breaking one Of her arms In two places
and bruising her body. In the night he
became wild and wanted to sacrifice his
eldest son, and he was locked In his
room. His rawlings soon attracted the
neighbors, who gathered around the
house nearly one hundred strong. Mrs.
Loeb, weak from fear and illness, and
nursing a 3-weeks-old infant, called
upon them to do something to quiet her
husband, but they seemed paralyzed
with fear. The oldest child was locked
in a room next to Mr.. Loch's, the win
dows of both opening on a porch roof.
Loeb climbed out on this roof, smashed
the window of the child's room and
jumped in. He reappeTed with the
child in its night-gown. He held the
child up in full view of everybody and,
with razor he had procured. cut the
infants throat, nearly severlnR the
head from the body. Throwing the
body over his knee, he caught the drip
ping blood in his hands and said: And
now will wash my face in the blood o.
my child" and did so. People beheld
the CHASTITY sight by the light Of their
lanterns. Several men climbed to the
porch roof where the tragedy took place,
but Loeb, with bloody hands, forced
them down. At last constables came
and forced him back.

CRAWLING MICHIGAN 2
QUEER OLD CUSTOMS.
sruggard-wakers and Dog-whippen in
Church.


1t will be news to readers or the
Free Press that there was once
time, a long time too, extending
over several centuries, when there
was salaried Official In church to
waken sleeping members OF the con-
gregation and to expel dogs from the
sacred ediflce.
These individuals are alluded to In
the records as sluggards-wakers and
dog-whippers, and the fees paid them
were very liberal, their annual salary
being mere plttance.
The custom, which was frequent in
England, was also practiced in Amer
lea more than two centuries ago. The
Rev. DIR. Samuel Whiting, minister
OF Lynn, Mass, was provided with a
sluggard walker, one Allen Bridges,
who brushed the faces OF those in
'clined to sleep with fox's tail last
ened to a long staff, 'likewise a
sharpe thorne wherewith he may prick
such as be most sounde." A certain
Mr.. Tompkins, being thus admon-
ished, sprung up with a great deal OF
force and to the wonder of all did, so
says the record of the day, prop
hainlie" exclaim in a loud voice,
'"Buss the woOdchuck, he dreaming,
as it seemed, that woodchuck had
selzed and bit his hand ''And l
think" continues the chronicler, ''he
will not soone againe go to sleep in
meeting. The women may sometimes
sleep anu none know it by reason of
their enormous bonnets."
Women as well as men served in
this capacity. Betty Finch of War
rington, occupied this position at
Holy Trinity church in 1910, COM
paratively recent period. She walked
majestically up and down the aisle
during the service armed with q long
stick like fishing rod, with "bob"
on the end of it. With this she
angled for sleepers. The term 'bob-
bers" was used for this service, and
Betty's son, one of family OF
officials, used to recite for the amuse'
ment Of the tavern goers:
My fathers clark.
My sisters singer,
MY mothers a "bobber,"
And am a ringer"
The dog whipper was to be found
in every county in England, and is
still at his work in the churches OF
some remote places. Indeed there is
still church in Wales where "lazy
tongs" with spikes in the ends are
still used to drag the unconsecrated
animals of the sacred editlce.
The dog whipper at Bray in Berk-
shire, was provided with a ''jerkin"
to indicate his official position. at
cost of six shillings and four pence.
The item paid to Richard Turner for
whipping the ''dogges" out of a
church at Morton, in Derbyshire, in
1922 was one shilling.
1t is believed that the well-known
sexton of Peterborough, Old Scarlett,
was one of the first dog-whippers In
the country. His portrait on the wall
of the cathedral depicts him with a
whip in his belt He died in 1891.
In some of the churches the dog
whipper was only allowed to drive
out truant dogs, the dogs Of the gen.
try being furnished with pew where
they were admonished to keep order.
In NOrthOrpe Church, which was a
dependency of Northorpe Hall, there
was hall pew for the NorthoTpe
CANNES who were of bluer blood
than the cOllies OF the shepherd and
were more highly accommodated as
we'll as being safe from the taws OF
the dog-whipper. Press

Reward for the wreckers.
BRooM-CORN TRUST FAILING.
Crop-Buyers Outwitted by Nature and the
Manufacturers.

Manufacturers.
The syndicate formed by the large
manufacturers and brokers in broom
corn early last fall is going to pieces,
and the prices of broom corn are drop
ping fast. The attempt being made to
keep up, prices and yet unload the large
stock of, broom corn which Is stored in
the Western market cannot be main
tanned much longer. 1t is expected
that the syndicate will go to
pieces during the first OF Oc-
tober. The combine bought up
all the crop in the States of
Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri
and Tennessee last fall and put the
prices from 80 cents a pound up to II
and even = cents. They hoped to force
the smaller manufacturers and others
who were not In the deal to buy at their
prices. But the broom corn manufact-
urers shut down or worked On half time,
using up what corn they had In stock.
and refused to buy, and the large firms
who carried the stock are now anxious
to unload. The price of broom corn has
dropped from and cents O pound to
5 and 6 cents. Now comes the news
from broom-corn brokers that the crop
was never better, and this, it is thought,
will finally swamp the combine.

HannInaaa.

Most of the wrong-doing in the
world comes from an uneasy craving
for pleasure of some SOFT. The de-
sire for revenge produces all kinds OF
malicious and hateful conduct; the
yearniug for gain suggests dishonesty,
fraud, oppression, injustice; the ap-
petite for sensual qualification leads
to gluttony, intemperance, and vice.
A state of true happiness would rem
der these cravings impossible; the
higher qualifications once thoroughly
enjoyed, no room would be left for
the lower The great happiness @.
love annihilates revenge and malice;
sympathetic pleasures extinguish self
ish ones; pure and innocent recrea-
tions, cheerful society, and whole
some habits preclude the temptations
to vicious courses. In word, hap
piness, in its truest meaning and
best forms, is the foe to wrong-doing.
and In this sense il may be said that
those who are happy are good.
