is certain that not few per-
sons have lost their lives by striking
at RATHER IN coil with too short wea-.
pom, the snake lodging the blow with
astonishing QuickneSs and at the same
time striking back at the assailant With
deadly effect. | have never seen the
rattlesnake eject its venom, but have
seen the copperhead do 1t repeatedly,

The election takes place when the snake

untary thing. The venom may be
thrown as much as two or three feet. l
do not undertake to say that what Prof.
Cope states has not happened, but do

bic.
The saliva OF a snake is not poisonous;
il is extremely viscid and will not drip
any more than the slime will drip of an
eel, nor does a snake possess the power
to expectorate, or spit at all, aud GER
tainly with its mouth wide open. Sci
entifc statements concerning so deadly
and dangerous a creature as the rattle
snake ought 10 be very strictly accurate,
and it appears TO me that the frightful
celebrity OF the stroke should be empha-
sized. Readers will remember the I'M
happy fate OF the English gentleman
who about year ago struck at
diamond rattler in Florida,
with the result that the snake
lodged the blow and striking
back at his assailant at the same instant,
drove its fangs into his head and be
died In great agony in a short time.
Shortly after that sad occurrence we
again read OF a gentleman from the
North attacking one OF these formid-
able creatures with buggy whip.
Some years since | encountered COM
pany OF "sang" hunters in the noun
tains OF Rockingham county, Virginia,
who had just had an adventure with
RATHER. A young man finding one In
coil struck at IL with his "sang" (gin-
seng) hoe and the rattler, lodging the
blow, struck back and drove his
fangs against the hoe handle 20
forcibly as TO leave their marks on
IL about an inch below the young fellows
hand, In my judgment there Is no dan
ger of any one having any poisonous
saliva spat into his face by rattler In
coil, but we'll grown diamond RATHER
II struck at in coil with buggy whip
or short stick might easily plant his
fanps between the eyes OF his assailant.

that he was showing OF for their oeu-

six OF them entered the church, five OF
them passing the succession of Court
field to a younger brother in order to do
so. Roger Bede Vaughan, now dead,
became archbishop of Sydney, Father
Jerome Bond founded several Benedic-
tine communities. Father Bernard
Vaughan is a celebrated preacher in the
Jesuit society. Father Kenelm Vaughan
was missionary in South America, and
with his brother, Father John, is now
attached to the House OF EGplatlon In
Chelsea, London. Six sisters OF the new
archbishop took the veil. All his faith
er's brothers became priests. The lam
lily in past times has produced many dis
tinguished ecclesiastics. The arch
bishop is granddaughter OF Cardinal
Weld and a nephew Of the present
bishop of Plymouth.
Herbert Vaughan was educated at
Stonyhurst, the great Catholic public
school of England, and at various places
abroad, chiefly at Rome. He was vol
unteer in the Crimean war, and devised
a new kind Of rifle-pit. He has always
shown ingenuity and great capacity
for hard work.
After he entered the priesthood he

lates, in London. Later he founded the
ST. Joseph's Society Of the Sacred Heart
for Foreign Missions, and as mission
airy visited this country, where college
Of the society for the education OF ne
groes was established in Baltimore.
He has previously expressed his be-
lief, which he indicated in the inter-
view, in a coming social revolution. de
has never used language so strong as
his predecessor, Cardinal Manning, who
said that If men were hungry they were
justified in taking food by force. He be-
lieyes that the social revolution Will be
accomplished peaceably.
When he was appointed to the bishop
ric of Stafford in 1875, he entered on a
career in that diocese during which he
accomplished great things. One OF his
achievements was the building OF 81
Bede's college, near Manchester, an In
stitution which provides an excellent
commercial education for Catholic young
men, and ST. Bede's college on the
Rhine for the study Of modern Ian
guages.
At this Manchester college he made a
small beginning of his school Of chris
tian art. He built seminary for his
priests, Rescue society in his diocese
and the enormous college OF the st.
Joseph's Missionary society at Mill Hill.
For three years he gave his official in
come TO the Rescue society.
Archbishop Vaughan has advocated
the provision OF public places OF recrea-
ton, including theatres OF varieties by
municipal authorities. He would per-

coholic refreshments at these places.
