Last Augusta young man-Ram-
cd Oscar Roberts, Of Arkansas,
who is employed as rodmsa at
Hatfield Bend, attempted 10 or.
ganize Sunday school class to
religiousIy educate the children
Of the natives at that place. At
first he was very unsuccessful, as
the parents would not send their
children to him. But tie young
man would not be baked in his
good intentions, and as he re-
ceived each months salary he
sent one-third Of 1t for the pur-
chase of religious books, pictures,
etc. BY this means he managed
to inspire the people and finally
got a small class started. At
Christmas he had a tree for his
class, and each received a small
present, and now, after working
diligently against all obstacles,
he is rewarded by having a class
numbering between thirty and
forty members in attendance each
Sunday. This young man is GER
tainly deserving Of a great deal Of
praise for his zealousness in such
u cause.-McD oaceH Recorder.-

Rev:5. n. Wood, 81 the Baptist
church, returned Monday from
thS mouth Of the Beech fork Of
Spruce, where he has been hold
ms . serics of meetings for the
last two weeks. He reports 4
splendid meeting. Twelve per-
sons protested conversion, seven
OF whom connected themselves
with the Baptist church. This
neighborhood has for the last two
or three years had a hard name
in regard to disturbing religious
services, but Bro. Wood tells us
that he never saw better behav-
'ior than existed during his meet
inks, nor any congregation which
paid better attention to preach
ing, and that every one seemed
to be deeply interested in the
meeting. Bro. Wood had the
misfortune Of spraining his left
ankle during the first week Of the
meeting and is still scarcely able
to walk around, but he didn't let
this interfere with his. preaching ;
leaning on his staff he endeavor-
ed to discharge his duty faithfully.

An Omcer's Tragic Death.

A lieutenant of the Twenty-fourth
regiment of Chasseurs, named Taverne,
met with most tragic death near the
port of Nice yesterday. His horse, a
big, fiery roam, which had been very
little ridden, became restive shortly after
leaving headquarters. While passing
the we'll known Chateau Smith the horse
took fright and bolted down an incline.
Some octroi officers saw this, but were
unable to arrest his progress. The off
Ger managed to steer the animal around
the Nice port, but coming to rapid curve
in the road at a spot known as Rabau
Capen he lost all control. The horse
rushed madly at a wall, cleared it, and
both horse and rider were dashed over
the rocks into the sea below.
The admiral of the Mediterranean
squadron sent a steam launch, four boats
and fifty men with grapnels to try and
find the bodies. They found key on
the rocks, which has been identified as
that of the officers chamber in the bar
racks, and some hair of the horse stuck
TO the rocks Up to the present, how
ever, the bodies have not been recovered.
They have probably been taken out to
sea by currents. M. De Freycinet, who
is now in Nice, visited the spot to make
inquiries. The unfortunate officer, who
was only thirty years of age, was most
popular.-Pall Mall Gazette.

An Eleph hant's TOothache @.

The elephant in the Geological gardens
in Paris must be a very reasonable crea-
ture. He suffers from toothache, and if
in proportion to his size, he must suffer
good deal; yet, while it is being stopped
and filled, we are told, he is exceedingly
patient, only "gently moving his trunk"
when the operation is particularly pain
full. A word of praise is also surely due
to the dentist. A man might have
earned the Victoria Cross and yet have
some misgivings when that trunk began
to wave. In the case in question it was
only employed ''to caress the operator" {"
by way of fee, when the proceedings
were concluded; but it might have been
put to different use.
The report does not inform us whether
the elephant is placed in chair with
his head well back, a position with
which most of us are only too well &C
quainted. There is little difficulty, it
seems, in inducing him to take laughing
gas, which he may think beneath his
dignity.-James Payn in Illustrated
London News.

The tide of the genus tramp has al

the past week the applications for aid at
the central office of the Associated char
tiles have been made up chiefly of per-
sons who have been in the city but a
day or so, and they generally apply for
shoes and clothing. These applicants
are composed of that class that annually
migrate to the south at the commence
ment of winter, where they stay until
the opening of spring, when they turn

Superstitious Wearers of Rings.

The use Of amulets for disease seems
to belong to past age, yet, in truth, su-
perstition is almost as rife today as in
the romantic times when people discov-
cred fairy rings in the meadows and, by
every wandering stream, the footprints
of the water sprites. 1t hardly seems
possible that copper rings or inlaid rings
of iron or other base metal should be
worn today to ward off disease. Yet
there are wise people, men of affairs,
who would scorn to show superstition in
greater things, who are firmly convinced
that they owe immunity from disease to
some such token.-Exchange.

burned on the Argentine railroads has
been imported, but it is believed that
the newly discovered mines will furnish
a supply entirely sufficient for domestic

Fun with a Wild Wolf.

A party of fox hunters around Cleve-

tame to follow longer, liberated wild
mountain wolf from Kansas. By the
time the fierce animal had bitten off a
finger of one hunter, torn holes in the
boots of three or four more, killed two
dogs and severely wounded several
others, the fox hunters, after killing
him, decided they had enough of that

Ayers Cherry PeCtora!,


Two headed snakes are found some
times. but are not more common freaks
than similarly created humans. There
Is a two headed snake at the Academy
of Sciences that attracted much atten-
ton from naturalists. 1t is a peculiar
specimen withal. It is now dead and
in alcohol. but during the few weeks
its welfare was looked after it was
watched and studied, and became SO
tame that it could be handled without
disturbing it.
1t was but a young snake, twelve
inches long, and the two heads JON
about half an inch from tue extremity.
The name. pitnephis catcnitor, would
suggest IA large sample OF reptile, but
this kind is variously called the gopher
snake, blow snake, pine snake and bull
snake, owing to the locality in which it
is found. The species has no fangs,
only very small fine teeth; grows to
over six feet in length and the bite is
perfectly harmless.
The main peculiarly OF the young
reptile is that both heads are perfectly
developed and food could be taken by
either, as there is a channel leading
from both to the stomach. When one
head tackled a beetle or other article
of food it was a question which could
reach it first, for one was just as liable
to grab it as the other, though the
whole body received nutriment from
the object. 1t seemed often to be a
race between the heads to see which
would gobble the insect, but after il
disappeared in one mouth the other
seemed just as well satisfied.
The traits and characteristics Of the
twin were closely studied. Many OF
the snakes actions were amusing where
the two heads were concerned, but in
most respects it acted very much like
any other of its kind. San Francisco
Examiner.
