Life History of the Rattlesnake

Without attempting to enumerate the
traits of character popularity ascribed to
the rattlesnake, says a Florida corre-
spondent, | may here sketch the promi-
nent features in his life history so far as
they are accurately known The age of
rattler cannot be determined by the
number of his rattles. individuals in
confinement have been known to acquire
from one to four rattles in year, and at
any time they may accidentally lose one
or more of these appendages. Rattles
are modification of the epidermis Ga
step in this direction is shown by some
snakes which have the tail developed
into horny tip, and their number is
| added to from the anterior end of the
''string." The longest ''string" ever
seen by the writer was composed of
twenty-five rattles and the customary
button, but there are well authenticated
records of twenty-eight rattles. The
sound produced by the vibration of the
rattle has been variouslY described by
different authors; the aptness of their
descriptions and comparisons depends
much on the ear of the listener. To the
writer it resembles the rattling whir of
moving machine, heard in the distance,
and one is also strongly reminded of the
'song" of the common "locust" or ci-
cada. The rattle, however, lacks the
musical quality noticeable in the note of
the cicada. As rule Iattler does not
sound his alarm until he considers him
self threatened and in danger; it is then
truly note of warning, and fortunate is
the man who appreciates its significance
in time to profit by it.
The distance which rattler can strike
depends upon the position he strikes
from. When stretched out at full length
and with the muscles extended to the
utmost, he could not strike one inch for
ward, but it is said that from this posi-
ton the head can, in one movement,
reach the tail. The typical position from
which to strike, and the one assumed
before the rattle is sounded, is the coil.
This is not necessarily a symmetrical
spiral, but the body is massed in more or
less regular folds, the muscles are con-
tracted, and the reptile may then be
likened to a set spring. From this posi-
tion rattler can spring about two thirds
OF his length. The blow is delivered
with rapidity which defes escape, and
is much more likely to be received below
the knee than above it. This is due not
alone to the angle at which the snake
strikes, but also to the proximity of the
person struck at. The force of rattle
snakes blow as compared with that of
moccasin is remarkable, and supplies the
chief reason why the former is so much
more deadly than the latter.-New York
Post.

Aunt Cecilia wore a beautiful white

Legends of the MaOries.

The Maories are sometimes generally,
and even exquisitely poetical. One OF
them relates how the heavens and the
earth were at the beginning of things
united in marriage, and how the sky
was torn away from the partner of her
love by her own children, the storm
winds. Every nigh; she weeps over her
lost husband, and her tears are the dew.
Sometimes the stories are very quantity
and oddly imaginative, as where the
tale is told of three bretheren who took a
canoe to fish, and went far, far out into
the open sea, when one of them, who
prepared a magic hook, caught what was
supposed to be great fish at the bot.
tom, and, drawing it up to the surface,
found that he had discovered New Zea-
land. That was how the land came in
beng, and the Maories point to three of
the great mountain ranges as the stone
sanoes in which their giant ancestors
came from some far.oH country to peo-
pie the land. The mixture of childish
naivete aud high imagination makes the
collection actually fascinating. Con

Wash Day Comes Once A Yenr.

In Germany, especially among the
lower classes, it is said, wash day comes
no oftener than Christmas-once a wear.
A writer says: The notion of cleanli.
ness which prevails among the better
class of Germans forbids the storing or
accumulation of solid linen in the dwell
ing house, hence the necessity of the
"schwartz waschkammer, built near by,
where the soiled or unwashed clothes are
hung up exposed to the air on poles or
lines. We cannot but commend them
for this custom, and it would be well for
those housekeepers to take a hint who
store solled garments in the closets of
sleeping-rooms and under the beds. The
humblest German hausfrau does not feel
her poverty if she has an abundance of
linen, and this she will have if possible,
to the exclusion of other things which
we might regard almost as needlul. She
is rich indeed if at the end of six months
or a year she can display long lines hung
with immaculate linen. We eau thus
understand how even at this day a chest
of linen is regarded among the peasantry
as a part of their dover or marriage
portion of the bride. For these wash
ings week is usually taken, and the
event is regarded as no ordinary one. 1t
is something Of jubilee in which the
entire family takes part. An American
lady travelling in Germany witnessed one
of these "frolics," where four or five
women were washing from one capacious
tub. When asked why they did not
adopt the easier plan Of washing weekly,
one of them replied chat "they feared
the people might think they had but
two garments apiece. New Orleans

How a Russia II Peasant Dies.

Count Leo Tolstoi described thus
recently to Octave Houdaille, who visited
him at Jasnaja- -Pojana, how a Russian
peasant dies:
"Death is dark and terrible on the
the canvas of the painter, but here in
this country it is almost a picture of
mirth. l just came from IA peasants
deathbed. The man knew that he must
die and his pam lasted several days, yet
not once did his serenity of soul leave
hin. When death was quite near, aud,
as is customary, waxed taper was placed
in his hand, his face assumed an express
sion of unutterable happiness. 1t seems
strange to me that after such scene
that l have felt so little emotion. Aside
from all religious feeling, death is for
these people a release from trouble;
therefore, all absence of the cloud of
sorrow seen elsewhere. 1t is the peace,
the slumber which the peasant has
longed for in the depth Of his misery,
and the sorrow OF living is over"

Souther Farm, near San Leandro,
CAL, has constructed and fully equipped
a saltwater swimming tank, and it is be-
lieved to be the first ever built for the
use of horse-training farm. Expert
ment so far have all gone to demonstrate
the practicability of the swimming tank
as a labor saving device for training.
which will sooner OF later come into
general use. Horses, like all other ami
mails, require baths, and it is claimed
that while taking his bath he iudulges
in swimming, which affords different
but as helpful exercise as does the track.
Swimming is now claimed to be a great
assistance in developing speed, and the
drudgery of track and road work is
thereby wonderfully reduced. The tank
at Souther Farm has a concrete basin,
ninety feet long over all, twenty feet
wide and eight feet deep. From each
wall there is an easy grade to deep
water, making it sale for a horse to walk
down. A platform is constructed over
the centre of the tank, which swings
from the roof. Upon this elevation
man stands and guides the swimming
horses, giving them the required amount
oi exercise.

ACROSS THE SEA.

Across the sea, the shining Southern sea,
Is she with whom am full fain to be,
Though well know her heart has turned
from me.

where
The purple South smiles, warm and flushed

Stand by her. Love, when fast asleep she
lies
And drop for me, on her dear lips and eyes,
A kiss, that for my longing shall suffice.
Be thou to her as song and scent, and shine;
Let all thy dearest memories combine
To turn once more her queenliest heart to
mine.

The production of pig-iron during the
last six months of 1891 was unprece
dented but the output for January shows
a further increase. 1t looks to the New

this line of industry. Except West
Virginia the Southern States showed an
increase in production last year as COM
pared with any earlier year. Pennsyl-
vauia and Ohio showed heavy falling

Pleuro- pneumonia is one of those
things, admits the American Dairyman,
that will not "doHn." We can keep it
pretty we'll under control in this country,
where the air is comparatively dry, but
in moist England it keeps bobbing up
serenely. Just now it is making consid-
erable trouble and great losses to the
farmers in various parts of England and
Scotland. Sixteen outbreaks have been re-
ported and S72 head of cattle slaughtered
in the past eight weeks. This looks to
us in this country as a fearful slaughter.
There have been few outbreaks on the
Atlantic coast, where The air, we presume,
is more moist than in the interior, but
this disease has never taken on an cpl
demic form heIe, as it constantly threat
ems to do in some countries in Europe,
and will do unless IT,, most energetic
remedies are constantly employed. Long
Island seems tc carry the burden of these
ills for the United States, at least such is
the frequent report of the authorities,
but always denied by those who live
there. 1t has the misfortune, so far as
pleuro- pneumonia is concerned, to bt

Fight Between Hawk and a Snake.

Mrs. w. p. Lasitter had an unusual
experience few days ago. As tine story
goes she saw large hawk descend to
the ground. AS the hawk did not rise
after a short time she decided to inyesti-
gate. On approaching the place the
hawk arose and perched upon a tree
near by. In few minutes it descended
again. Mrs. Lasitter proceeded to the
place and found that the hawk had
tackled a large black snake. Its talons
were fast in the snake, and the snake so
entwined about the wings aud body of
the hawk that tho latter could neither
disengage itself from the snake nor rise
with it. Mrs. Lasitter took advantage
Of the situation, and arming herself with
a club killed both hawk aud snake,-
