QUEER IDEAS OF SNAKES.

uperstltlons Among Savage Tribes
Regarding These Reptiles.
The African cobra is regarded
somewhat reverently by the natives
OF that country, who once year kill
a cobra de capello and hang it's skin
to the branch OF a tree, tail down
ward. Then all the children born
during the last year are brought out
and made to touch the skin. This,
the parents think, puts them under
the serpent's protection, says St.
Nicholas.
The Kafirs use the venom of this
snakes cousin, the puff adder, to pois.
on their arrows, and when they have
any small quantity left they swallow
it, having a theory that it will pro-
tect them from the effects of future
bites.
The snake tribes of the Punjab say
that the bites of snakes do not hurt
them, and if they find dead serpent
they dress it in clothes and give it
superb funeral. Some one has dis
| covered that the leaves of a bitter
aromatic plant, aristolochia indico, if
| bruised into a pulp, mixed with lit
tie water and swallowed will often
cure the bite of the Indian cobra.
1t has been known to cure even when
the victim showed no sign of life save
warmth of the body, but the most
general remedy is the snakestone.
Professor Faraday has found this to
be made of charred bone. It is ap-
piled to bite, and when it drops off
of it's own accord the patient is said to
be out OF danger.
| These stones are used also in Mexi-
co. Our own North American In
dams will not kill snake in their
path. They hold it in reverence, and,
although they select great numbers of
them to use in their snake dances,
they never kill them, but when the
ceremony is finished take them out on
the plains and release them.
Some Zuni Indians from New Mexi-
co, with whom I became acquainted,
refused to repeat their folklore out OF
doors for fear the rattlesnakes would
hear.

An Immense Stone,

Ashland Wis, Special, Nov. S.---The great
monolith donated to the state as an exhibit
at the world's fair is now about ready to be
raised. without a single defect. The Prem
tice BroWnstone company have worked IN
tiringly i'll their effort to make good their
gift Of the largest single pillar Of rock ever
exhibited, and to-day the stone, 115 feet

other country. 1t will be completed and
ready to raise from its bed this week, and
Friday morning. Nov. IS. is the time set to
break this great monolith from its resting
place. While it will be ready i few days
sooner this time is set so as to have every

THE PHILADELPHIA GIRL.

She Is Quite Unlike Any Other Type
In This Country.
Philadelphia may be termed slow
by those unwilling to see any good in
any city but their own, yet even the
most prejudiced Gothamite or proud
Chicagoan must admit that the girls
Of Philadelphia are as dainty and
sweet as any to be found in the world
over. They possess an air OF individ-
uality that makes them altogether
winning and lovable.
To begin with they are SO essential
" womanly-fit inhabitants OF a city
Of homes. They are fresh and bloom.

Stunning that, though robed in Paris
gowns, for our girls are stylish to the
hnger tips, one can almost see in
gauzy outline how becoming the clos,
ing gray garments of their Quaker an
cestors would be. r-@
Now this is saying great deal for
their beauty, for the severely simple
garb that goes with the plain Language
needs natures mostlavish adornment
to make it becoming. Therefore
therein lies a great compliment.
Philadelphia girls know how to dress

our thoroughfares or in places oil
amusement, likewise they know how
to behave well, their manners speak
ing much for the home training Of just
such another sweet-faced woman
whom they call "nother.""
Low-voiced, earnest, happy girls
just the sort men could feel content
to make partners for life, and per
haps in this connection the reninis
cence OF many wealthy and influential
men OF other cities having carried
away brides from our own little vii
lage may prove that it is not case O.
thinking what is our own is the best
but an opinion fully Endorsed by those
most capable ofjudging.

What Shall a Girl Read,

With many girls reading is largely
matter OF opportunity; some lack the
means of procuring many books, or
more frequently still, the time neces-
sary for the mastery or enjoy
ment of the helpful vol
ume; or, saddest of all, the taste
or appreciation OF what is beautiful
and enobling in literature is lacking.
writes Amelia Lanigan in pertinent
article on "a Girls Best Reading in
the Ladies' Home Journal. This is
the heaviest bolt on the gate of knowl-
edge, for no amount of recommended
ton can give one enjoyment OF a
book, and in mental, as in physical,
food we are profted only by what we
assimilate. But it is just for those,
who feel both longing and limitation
that this article is written; simply to
act as q hnger-post, indicating in what
direction true mental culture may be
reached.
Bear in mind that there are passing
books and lasting books, books of the
day and books Tor all time. Help and
pleasure are to be found in both, but
the manner of reading them will differ.
The one kind furnishes comparatively
easy reading, because more on the
level OF our own knowledge and expert
ence: but the latest book, or most ex-
cellent magazine, should not occupy
the time to the exclusion of the older
authors who, according to Ruskin,
often give you their thought more by
way Of reward than OF help, just as
nature does not spread her gold upon
the surface, but let's us search and dig,
or crush the rock to get the precious
ore. Do some reading that requires
thought and labor.

A Railway Ferry Across Lake Michigan.

The bold idea Of ferrying loaded
freight cars across Lake Michigan is
soon to be put into practice. A large
propeller is under construction at To-
ledo which will have capacity Of 81
cars, and it is expected to tow barge
carrying IS cars, making SO cars or
more than an average freight train.
The cost of transferring grain and other
freight from cars to steamer and from
steamer to cars forms very heavy
item of cost which the proposed plan, if
successful, will save. Lake Michigan.
however, is treacherous water and
considerable risk will be involved in
ferrying across it, especially in winter
when ice abounds. The new boats are
to ply between Frankfort, on the
Michigan shore, and kewaunee, on
the Wisconsin shore, distance of Sc
miles, connecting the Toledo, Ann
Arbor & Northern with the Green
Bay, Winona g. St. Paul Railroad.

PURE OLD RYE AND WHEAT
WHISKEY.

We formerly had bonded warehouse room suf-
fcient 10 store 5000 gallons OF whiskey, which
we considered a stock sufficient to meet our
trade, but we found however, the demand for
larger stock OF old whisRey, we were compelled
10 increase our storage room and have lust COM
pleted an lronclad bonded warehouse with a
capacity sunicient to store 10000 gallons of
whskey.
We aim to sell no whiskey less than one year
old and from that on up TO the Oldest we have
in stock except in original packages, thereby
giving our patrons the benefit or the age.
What we claim over great many other dis
tillers:
FIRST, Briarcreek being rich fertile valley,
we are able TO get superior quality OF grain TO
manufacture our whiskey from.
SECOND Having our Touring mill in connec-
tion with our distillery we clean all our grain
for distillation over rigid process OF the smut
ter thereby, making IL as clean as the grain
that Is ground into Hour.
THIRD We hand mash, double distill our
whiskey and then re-dlStill on a copper distill
FOURTH; We leach our whlskey Wen thereby
getting out the fusil Oil and all impurities,
which new whiskey contains.
FIFTH: We use no Second-handed barrels, our
whiskey is all nut in new, clean, Indiana White
Oak barrels which is considered the best barrel
In the market.
SIXTH: II is a known fact that the hotter
whiSHey Is kept the faster II viii age, therefore
we heat our bonded warehouse with steam so
the thermometer will register 20 degrees, when
the temperature is at zero.
We have never distilled any corn, and do here

music was excellent, and all the exer.

pointed address.
The festival at Hamiline last lSatur-

School netted between 20 and 80

The rainy season has not yet aban-

Rev. Houtz preached an impressive
sermon last Sunday at St. James. A
spiritual shepherd who is able to feed

years, it is very evident that he must
very often go to the granaries of the
Great Shepherd for fresh supplies in
order to keep his flock in healthy
and growing condition.
