A Sake Dimes on hsrneis.

cred large blacSsnake slowly crawling
among the branches OF tree that stood
by the roadside. Following the snake
with his eye, the observer saw an un.
usually large hornets nest attached to
one Of the branches OF the tree and
toward which the snake was advancing.
When close to the mes. the snake
coiled itself about limb, released its
tail, and with it gave several hard raps
upon the exterior of the nest, "a il
knocking fcr admission. Tae noise of
the blows and the swaying of the nest
caused the hornets TO leave their home
aud prepare for Al attack upon the in-
truder. Tae snake ceased tapping with
its tail as soon as the hornets LEFT the
nest, uncoilei itself. and quickly disap-
peared. taking the place Of the hornets
within their nest
Presently the snakes head was seen to
pee. out. and his bright black eyes
glistened as he anticipated feast from
which the bravest man would shrink
with fear. Tae snake drew his head
within the entrance hole to the nest till
nothing was seen of it except an occa-
sional forked tongue, that darted in aud
out with lightning rapidity.
Thinking the coast clear the hornets
began to return to their nest, when the
snake took them in as rapidly as they
could enter. Watching the proceeding
for some time, our informant concluded
that all the hornets had been safely
aived, and he stood up in his buggy,
tapped the mes, with his whip and

Pythian Castle was thronged last even

The occasion was public installation OF
the newly-eiected officers of the order.
The ceremonies were conducted by Mrs.

The following officers were installed /:

Mrs. Doughty; P. T., Mrs. Brissel; 0. g.,

Although the evening had been thus

The affair was a success, and reflected

Two facts have been pretty conclusively
settled in the minds of the public-the
first that the Royal Baking Powder Com
pany has found the means, and uses
them, to make chemically pure article
full of poisonous, alum and other adul-
terated baking powders, which, no mat
ter how strongly indorsed by CONNER
cial'' chemists, are to be studiousIy
avoided.
pure baking powder is one of the
chief aids to the cook in preparing perfect
and wholesome food. The recent contro-
yersy in the press has left it no longer a
question with those who desire purity
and wholesomeness of food what baking
powder they shall use.
