Wonderful Insect VITALITY,

It is a standing puzzle to tho entO-
mologists how frail little insects of the
mosquito and butterfly order can brave
the cold of an Arctic winter and yet
retain their vitality. The larv@ of the
milkweed butterfly have been exposed
to an artificial blast 6S degrees below
zero. Taken out of range of this artf-
fetal blizzard and gradually "thawed
out" this same worm was able to creep
in less than half an hour afterward.
Butterflies have been found fitting
joyously about in the highest latitude
man has ever penetrated, and the
mosquitoes of Alaska and Greenland
are known TO be the neutrality-suspicious.
of that race of little pests.-St. Louis

SEVEN FEET or SNAKE.
Il Was Tangled Up In tho wheel OF Uncle
Mulford'a Phnoton.

10 Was Tangled Up In tho wheel OF Unoio
MulfOrd'a Phaston.
Uncle Josey Milford, one OF the best
known members of the church Mt Mason,
Warren county, has had enough expert
ence with the snake family In one day
to last him the rest Of his life, and he
can congratulate himself that he In alive
and well to-day.
Mr.. Milford has passed the allotted
three score and ten, and with faltering
step and bent form he manages to get
around with the aid Of q gray horse and
phaeton, by which he can be identified
at any reasonable distance. While COM
ing from the powder mills near the Little
Miami river to Mason he had his atten-
ton drawn to q snake that had stretched
itself across the roadway. Paying lit
tie attention to the thing he drove on.
His companion, young lady, with that
failing that Is traceable to Lots wife,
deserted the reptile rapidly pursuing
them. Tho driver hurried on his ami
NAL and in trice the horrible discovery
was made that the snake was in some
way attached to tho hind wheel of the
phaeton, and as the wheel turned the
terror-stricken occupants were greeted
with thrust from the intruder that
made the cold chills run over them in
no desirable manner. As the nag was
advanced in years progress was necessa-
rily slow, and Mr.. Milford does not yet
know how long the snake was thus
pursuing them His cries for help
brought Albert Dill, township trustee,
to the spot, and he CALAMITY dispatched
the reptile, which measured over seven
feet in length The snake must have
escaped from some circus, as its like is
not common to these parts-Cincinnaa

Wise Elderly Women Who Refuse to Grow
Old.
1t is sad to see how many elderly and
middle-aged women take it for granted
that life holds nothing for them but the
role of grandmother. Many woman
has little time for study while rearing
family, but when the children are
married and gone to homes OF their
own then comes the time whom she
needs some outside interest. If she has
not something to take her out of her.
self she will turn to gossip and fnncy
work to keep her busy.
This is just the time for her to devote
herself to some study. Let her take up
the one that was favorite in her
school days, whether it be one of the
sciences, painting or music. II she has
no prediction for anything let her try
several things until she knows what she
likes best.
II she never does anything worth
showing the time will not be lost, for
the happiness found in these hours Of
absorption in chosen pursuit cannot
easily be estimated.
But the middle-aged woman may sur
prise herself by making great success
of her undertaking. The time would
fail me to tell of the distinction that
has been won in different fields by peo-
pie far from young Schlieman was
81 years of age before he knew a word
of Greek. George Eliot was S5 when
she put her hand to the first of her
great novels. Prescott published the
first of his almost perfect histories at
the age of IS. Oglivy, who made an eX-
cellent translation of Homer, began to
study Greek at so.
The first of the Waverly novels APP
peared when the author was fl and
Cowper was nearly 80 before he did his
best work When we think Of Mary
Somerville ut 90 writing upon physical
science, of Gladstone at so hewing his
oaks and studying Homer and of Ten
nyson, also au octogenarian, writing
across the Bar" no one can fold his
hands and say: II am too old to do any
thing of any moment"
"A man is only as old as he feels"
says Oliver Wendell Holmes, who GER
tainly carries young heart, if his head
is gray"
Numberless cases that arc not so
marked might be cited. A woman
whose stories have done an incalcula-
BILE amount of good did not dream that
she could write until her children had
gone to homes of their own and she be-
gan to write to beguile her loneliness
Another woman, whose songs are house
hold favorites, did not know any
thing of the theory of music till
she was so, when she began TO study
harmony. To-day she is we'll known as
a composer and her music supports her
most comfortably.
A grandmother used to dabble in her
granddaughter's paints and became so
interested that she studied under q
good teacher. To-day her pictures have
an honored place in the .water-coior eX.
hibitions.
Every woman cannot be an artist,
author or musician, but every one Of us
can have some wide outside interest.
We can take up a course Of reading that
will sensibly broaden our horizon; il
we cannot travel we can 60 around the
world in books and thus CLEAN no small
benefit without the toll of travel.-N.
