SNAKES ARE VICIOUS,
But Few of Them are Poisonous and
Those Can be Distinguished.

rev OF lnem are POISONOUS,
Those Can be Distinguished.
All snakes are naturally vicious, but
they are not all poisonous. None OF
the larger varieties are poisonous, and
you can always tell a poisonous snake
by the formation of his head which is
shaped round. Back of the eyes there
is a high lump rising from inside the
head. The harmless snake has a long
head, and it kills by crushing, while a
poisonous snake darts at you The
anacondas hardly ever bite, and in Bra
zil it is quite common for householder
to keep few of them around his resi-.
dence for the purpose of killing the
rats, which are great pest in that part
OF the world.
Among the poisonous snakes there is
the variety known as the coral, which
is found in Venezula. Any one bitten
by coral snake dies in the most horri-
bic agony, his blood bursting or oozing
out through the pores of the skin.
Any snake that measures over seven or
eight feet is not poisonous; in fact / do
not know any that grow over six feet
long. The rattlesnake is the largest
poisonous snake we have in this coun-
try. Then there are the deaf adder,
the black water snake, the moccasin.
These are about the only poisonous
snakes we have in the United States.
The men who call themselves Snake
charmers" do not handle poisonous
snakes fthey have a rattlesnake they
extract his fangs, and in that way REM
der him perfectly harmless. This
operation is easily performed by means
of silk handkerchief, which is waved
in front of the snake, who snaps at it
viciously, when the handkerchief is
suddenly pulled away, bringing the
fangs with it. Or, you can cut the
artery that feeds the poison bag and
thus destroy the source of supply. This
is a rather difficult operation, however,
although have often had occasion to
perform il on rattlesnakes. Something
generally piece of cork, is put in tho
snakes mouth TO keep il open; the
teeth of the reptile become imbedded
in the cork, and you have chance to-
cut the artery. Taking the teeth out
of a rattlesnake is like pulling feathers
out of bird; they will form again.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

DIR. Ernst, the new professor in the
Harvard medical school, was the man
who once demonstrated TO some skep-
tical professors the fact that a curved
ball could be pitched by repeatedly
curving the ball between two posts set
up in line.
The French academys first prize
for virtue, $500 francs, was awarded
this year TO Marie Sedier, of Bayonne,
who has devoted herself TO placing de
serted children with peasants and
artisans. In seven years she has res
cued twenty-seven.
Queen Victoria was an exhibitor at
a recent horse show, but the animal
she sent was beaten in the competition
and had to be contented with a second
prize. Cattle-show judges have no
more respect for a royal exhibitor than
for farmer who can hardly pay his
rent.
President Eliot of Harvard is rather
sensitive about the cherry-red birth
mark on his cheek. He need not be so.
There are many prominent men whose
cheeks are hard enough TO defy every
mark, and IL they ever show a red spot
it is only the rust of the chilled steel
working its way out.
The Oxford university press has
just issued the most diminutivc Bible in
existence. 1t is finely printed on Ok
ford Indian paper, and it's minute di-
mensions are only three and three
fourths inches in length, two and one
eighth inches wide and seven-eighths of
an inch in thickness.
Probate Judge Wales of Burling-
ton, VT, was called upon the other day
by dubious-looking man, who solemn
ly addressed him with the assurance:
~ am the devil" The court promptly
exercised him. There were no horns
visible, but, probably, too many of them
is what accounted for his appearance.
-Apropos of the successful new COM
poser, Mascagni, 1t may interest some
readers to know that he always has his
wife and their two tiny children in
private box at the production of any of
his works, and runs up every spare mo-
ment TO see them. The young COM
poser.is barely twenty-seven, and looks
younger.
Claus Spreckles, the sugar king, ,is
man of swarthy face, which contrasts
sharply with his white hair and white
beard. He is of German parentage and
never tried TO learn English well, so
that when he speaks rapidly it is diff
cult matter to understand him. He be-
gan to refine sugar in small way in
California, and his rise in fortune dates
from the time he was brought into as
sociation with Kalakaua.

great. The saying is as true in regard
to the soil Is it Is trite in general, that
natrre abhors vacuum; and, unless the
soil be occupied with something useful,
1t will surely bring forth crop OF un-
slightly weeds. How much, in this di-
rection, may be accomplished with lit.
tie effort, wis evidenced by last sea
sons experiment.
A board walk, parallel with the south
side Of my dwelling, left strip OF earth
less than foot in width uncovered. At
one end, moon flower was planted SO
that it could be trained over a porch.
Later in the season, its beautiful white
and fragrant flowers were a daily--or
rather nightly--delight for many weeks.
Next this. a number Of tomatoes were
planted, and, as they grew, were trained
up the side OF the house by string. The
warm, sunny exposure suited them per-
fectly, and they bore and ripened a
great many splendid fruits, until long
after the frost had killed those in more
exposed situations. Nor was there much
rot, though fruits on similar plants q
short distance away in open ground
rotted badly. It was real pleasure 70
pick them as they hung In the air, clean
and sound. Besides the tomatoes, there
was row Of pole beans, which twined
on stout cord, extending from nails
driven into the edge of the board walk
up to the side Of the house as high as
could conveniently reach. In short
time, these formed solid green wall,
loaded with great fat, clean pods, filed
with delicious, waxy beans. Meal after
meal this short row furnished US, besides
quantity saved for seed. Earlier in the
season, lettuce and radish seeds had
been scattered, Unfortunately, over q
part of the surface, and for many days
these furnished IN abundant family sup
ply. The little strip, perhaps thirty feet
long, furnished supply of the best
quality of vegetables, that would have
cost several dollars il purchased,
and the satisfaction derived amply re-
paid all the labor. There are thousands
of such spots that could be easily and
profitably improved in similar manner.
But in addition to the profit thus de-
rived there is the pleasure of caring for
the plants, and the satisfaction of gath
ering and eating vegetables of ones
own raising.
One of the best thing to plant near
old or unsightly buildings is grape
vine. No place is better. if the soil be
suitable, then the south side of a build
ing. If there is only soil enough to hold
the roots, that is all that is needed. A
grapevine may even be planted in a
paved yard, il q stone is removed to
plant it, and then replacing the stone SO
as to leave place for the cane between
the stones. It is little work to train the
vine up the building, and the fruit thus
secured will be ample compensation for
all the labor expended.

Generally those who grow fruit can

A good silo, we'll filled, is the first

Pekin ducks, If they have been well

Bees, hens, COW and garden will

These four little industries together can

Experiments have shown pretty con-
clusively that white wheat yield more
heavily than the red, and the bald more

Cotton-seed meal and pea meal are
among the best things to combine with
ensilage, if you are feeding with an eye
to the manure pile, as you should be.
There are but two especial purpose"
dairy breeds: Holstein for large milk
