\ IsattlcSnake's Fangs.

You often hear of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out it's fangs.
Then, again, you read of cases where a
serpent SO treated has bitten persons
fatally. The reason for this is that a
poisonous snake is deprived only tenn
porarily of its venomous powers by the
extraction of the two incisors in the
upper jaw, at the bases of which are
the poison glands. Of course you
know that the fangs are hollow, SO that
when the animal strikes the venom
gushes through them into the flesh of
the person struck. Now, by drawing
the two teeth the snake may be rend-
cred harmless for a few weeks, but after
n short time the two teeth Just behind
the original fangs move up and take
their places, making connections with
the poison glands and thus becoming
poison fangs as good and effective as
the old ones. Interview in Washing

SUNSET N THE FOG.

The cold gray fog of tho winter day
Held sea and land In thrall;
Silent the vessels at anchor lay:
A spell was over all.
Tho narrow lines Of each vessel bound
The limit Of their sphere;
Beyond was naught but n worl' of sound
A world Of doubt and fear.
From the yards the sails bedraggled hung,
Bordcred hv drops of dew;
Fcathcry mists from the hpLyards flung,
Like ghostly pennons flew;
While the masthead pierced the misty
gray
And vanished at the spars.
Tho ratlines seen but Il step away
Were narrow prison bars.
But sudden golden glamour stole,
AS through tiny seam;
1t spread till the glory lit the whole,
And lightened beam to beam.
No shadow fell from the ray of light;
Tho wind and sea were still;
Twas then that the red sun sank from
sight
Behind the distant hill.
We saw it not as the golden ray
Gave place to tints of rose;
And the mists, no longer cold and gray
About us seemed to close.
They closer grew as the rose light died.
The mists took on their frown,
And the gloom that came from either
sdc
Told that tho sun was down.

They are astonished to know that
precedence has the accent on the sec

that quay is called key; that sougl is
suf; that the instead of the sound
