SNAKE

sepedon are always partially erect.
When the sepedon ordinarily strikes his
mouth is not open, but nevertheless the
fangs come outside and below the lower
lips p%rotruding beneath the chin. On
the contrary when the rattlesnake strikes
the mouth is opened to its widest extent, SO
that whereas the former strikes a deadly
blow without biting, in the latter the strik-
ing and biting constitute the same act.
The most important difference, however,
is made apparent by the annexed cuts
showing the direction in which the poison
is elected from the fangs of both.
The upper cut shows the angle of ennis
sion from the fang of the rattlesnake, and
it will be noticed that the fang is grooved
to the point.
The lower cut gives the angle of emission
from hat of the cobra where the opening
comes out abruptly. leaving the point

The persistency with which mankind has

Marie Prescott.

Miss Marie Prescott, noted as one of the
most beautiful and talented women on the
stage, will appear in Shenandoah on Thurs
day evening and will present her own
dramatization of II. Rider Haggard'
famous novel, CLEOPATRA" This work
may be fairly acknowledged as the best
novel Haggard has ever written, with
beautiful idyls scattered through its
pages from the pen of Andrew Lang.
The novel is fresh, brilliant, beautiful.
The play differs from Sardou's version Of
the story and, indeed, from that of any
other writer, in that Anthony is almost
entirely oblitersted, or, at any rate, il
used only for the purpose of bringing
out in strong relief the great love fol-
Cleopatra by Harmschis, a royal Egyptian
brought up as a priest and secretly crowned
as Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Nile.
Those events bring him from the obscurity
of his birth to the splendor of Cleopatra
court, where he becomes her high prizes
and her devoted lover, and in turn as
deVotedly loved by Charmion, Cleopatra
hand-maiden, whose affection, it is needless
to say, Harmachis does not return. Al
Cleopatra makes no return of her high
priests affection, it will be seen that Har.
machis is between TWO fires. The play
ends with the death of the principal
~personages.

tons under the direction of Prof. Zeitz as
they passed through the streets on their
way to VIM. Penn. Some people became

''Thst puts life into the town. said a prom

members we're also delighted by the in

kind during the coming summer and that
one or two trips will be made to
Girardville. The members of the
band enjoyed the trip hugely and
they never played with better spirit.
The electric railway company thinks that
the trips will become very popular. The
people of the valley will have an oppor-
tunity to hear one of the best bands in the
band members on the warm evenings and,
of course, the railway company will reap
the nickels. The main object of the bands
visit to VIM. Penn last night was to
serenade Peter Schoppe, father of the
Schoppe brothers, of band and orchestra
fame. Mr.. Schoppe is convalescent after
an attack of paralysis and the band wanted
to cap his recovery with the music which it
renders so artistically. Several selections
were played in front of the residence,
after which the players were invited to
partake of an excellent luncheon. Con-
CALCULATIONS and more music followed and
at about II o'clock the band returned to
town.

ians are well. known to the Americans, at
least in the coal regions. There are many
things in the life of Lithusnians which
would interest the community at large, still
1 intend to draw attention to-day only to
the point in question, namely, why we are
witnesses Of frequent trouble among this
immigrant population.
There are many causes; the most evil
dent one is the conduct and the teachings
of the Lithuanian priests. l shall give
illustrations: Rev. Jadyzus, of Brooklyn,
N. Y, is widely known by his lascivious-
ness and drunkenness; the same man
teaches his Pensioners that knowledge is
sin, that reading of books and papers is a
trespsss in the eyes of God. Also Rev. s.
Pautienius, of Baltimore, Md, a man not
of innocent moral character, thunders
against the public schools of this country,
calling them ''dens of paganism," where
Jews and heretics are employed as teachers
to mislead the youth. Rev. A. Varnagirs,
well-known in Plymouth some time ago,
did not care for anything, except money
making to-day he has married a young
girl of Atlantic City, N. j.
"Rev. A. Burba, of Plymouth, in shis
sermons breaches against the Lithuanian
authors who endesvor to enlighten the
people, disseminates hate and intolerance
to other confessions besides Catholicism,
calling other churches pagan and their
adherents 'pagans' and 'heretics.' Rev.
Z~lotorzynski, of Pittston, is quite con-
cerned because among his parishioners
books and papers find buyers and readers;
he persecutes with whatever power he has
the Lithuanian Society Of Sciences and
Arts in America tends to make mute all
his Pensioners, some Of them treating
with whiskey and beer, others by some
small gifts, others even threatening with a
revolver in the hand, as happened on
April Both, where the parson wounded Mr..
Nj. Kaszuba, a miner, who is g to read
books and disseminate knowledge among
his fellow-men. Rev. Msszatas, of Free.
land, says hat he would rather leave his
parish thar admit a committee of parish
toner's to take care of the treasury of the
church, etc.
1t remains TO say That these reverend
gentlemen are quite rude in their habits,
fond not of science and progress, but of
beer and the tender sex, men who do not
care for anything else but their purse and
comfort.
Therefore it is not surprising that we
find fermentation among Lithuanians
going on and growing all the time. The
relations between the pastors and their
sheep become more uneasy, and especially
the adherents of progress and the 'Lithu-
anian Society of Sciences and Arts have
to endure maledictions and curses from the
pulpit. Still the society is growing and the
near future will show whether perversion
and egotism, or progress, enlightenment
and justice are going to take lead among
the troubled Lithusnisns."
