The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-06-21

He rose from his seat, as became a
presiding officer thus appealed 70, and,
lifting his lank form till his head was
among the rafters of the low school
house, he hesitated a moment and then
said:
Brethren, my decision is that you are
all ahead of the hounds"
DR.. Person confesses that he did not
fully comprehend the meaning of the
words, but he could not help seeing
that the decision was perfectly clear
and satisfactory to the assembly.
AS DR.. Pierson travelled about he
was an agent of the Bible society-he
often put up for the night at very hum
bic cabins, and commonly, before the
family went to bed, he was invited 70
conduct family worship. The form Of
the invitation was peculiar and invaria-
bic.
The Bible and hymn book were
brought forward and laid upon the
table, and then the host turned TO the
preacher and said: "Will you take the
books, sir?''
At table be was expected 20 ask a
blessing, and here, again, the phrase
ology employed was peculiar. When
all were seated, the man of the house
would say; VIII you make begin
ming, sir?" Then all heads were bowed,
and the blessing was invoked

SNAKE FARMING.
The Peculiar Industry of an Enterprisins
Missourian.

Snake farming, as an industry, is just
now engaging the attention of the peo-
pie and press Of the southwestern sec
ton of Missouri. The Ozark News of a
recent date says: "Sig. Don Allen and
Senorita Lama Lee, representing the
J. E. Childs snake farm at Chadwick,
this county, were in Ozark recently,
esta blishing agencies for their rattle
snake oil Miss Lee had with her
pair of water moccasins that she
handled as though they were kittens.
There is no doubt but that snakes can
be petted as easily as anything else,
and for choice between snakes and
alligaters we would certainly take
snakes"
Further particulars concerning the
unique enterprise are thus given in an
other edition of the same paper:
Among the many enterprises in south
west Missouri there are probably none
that attracts more attention than does
the snake farm located three-fourths Of
a mile due west Of Chadwick. The
farm proper consists of about five
acres, half inclosed by natural stone
wall, or a ledge. On one side Of this
Enclosure is natural rock cave, and out
OF this cave runs an everlasting stream
of the purest water. This spring be-
ing on the highest spot of land on the
farm it is easily conveyed 20 all places
where needed Mr. Childs has been
dealing in snakes and manufacturing
rattlesnake oil for over ten years, and
finds it quite profitable, as he supplies
all species of snakes for exhibition pur-
poses, all kinds Of snake curiosities, rat
tlesnake oil to the drug trade, and
charges an admission fee Of ten cents
TO ell visitors who come 20 the farm
He is now fixing up the place for the
summer trade, and win have large pens
built for the snakes, with living pond
OF water in each one, and platform on
the outside where visitors may stand
out of danger looking at the hundred
different species, all in their natural
state, eating, drinking, playing. swim
ming, fighting. sleeping, etc Ir. Childs
also proposes to pay cash for all live
snakes Of any species measuring over
three feet in length he proposes 20
ship all the snakes out Of this part Of
the country and bring back cash IN
their stead"

Hair for Mattresses

The best quality of horsehai- sold for
bedding IS the long white hair The
next quality is the long black hair.
There IS cheaper quality of bleached
white hair, which is softer and inferior
to the other grade and which sells at
about twenty or thirty cents per pound.
Still cheaper than these are the various
grades of brown and black hair, made
up of the hair Of many different kinds of
animals The best south American hair
is natural white or gray hair. 1t IS not
bleached, and it retails at from eighty
cents to one dollar pound. The black
hair which sells al about ten cents q
pound less IS equally good for practical
purposes, and the white hair Is largely
matter Of sentiment. Dealers are
very apt TO tell you when yoG ask for
white hair that the black hair Is The
best, because II Is better than the
second grade OF white hair, and the first
grade Is SO scarce that they do not care
TO bother with tn y. Tribune

Did you ever think about the vast

the newspapers by merely local report
ers who are not paid for originality or
style, but merely to ''write it up?''
Probably not, but have, and tell you
there is enough of it if saved in book
form to make literary fame for hun
dred men. And let me tell you another
thing, there are men of literary fame
who steal a good deal Of 1t and sell it
for money as their own. When friend

prose or in poetry, and tells me that he

him openly to his face, while secretly
doubt his word; and if the composition
is extremely good, l suspect that it is
due TO the oil and the toll of many
nights, and the thought of many days.
But when there is only one evening
between the deed and the printed story
of it, then I know that the writer
of the story "threw it off last night"

COLORADO HOLIDAYS.
Her Watermelon, Peach, Potato and
Grape and Cherry Days.

Grape and Cherry Days.
Colorado has some holidays that other
states have not thought of, according
to an informant Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. Among these are water
melon day, peach day, potato day and
grape and cherry day. Watermelon
day occurs September 1 each year, and
is celebrated at Rockyford. On that
memorable occasion thousands of ex-
cursionists from all parts of the state
flock to Rockyford and revel in water
melons. Car loads of melons are shipped
in from the district, and they are as
free to all as water and air. The trains
carry back hundreds of very sick pas
sengers at night Peach day is cele-
brated at Grand junction with great
eclat. 1t falls September ~, and all
the survivors of the Rocl1yford water
melon debauch go there to again gorge
themselves. Bands of music and mill
tary companies parade the streets Of
the town in the morning to hold the
hungry crowd in check while the local
committees are arranging the peaches
so as to serve the greatest number at
the same moment, and in the afternoon
everybody falls to, and at night the
mountains of peach pits tell the tale of
the days orgies. Then along in October
comes potato day at Monument.
Pretty much the same people are to
be seen there as at Rockyford and Grand
Junction, and they commune enough
Irish potatoes In one day to check the
worst famine Ireland has ever known.
The potatoes are cooked in every mag
Unable way-baked, boiled, roasted and
mashed. They are served in great tin
troughs that line the streets, and that
remain stationary all the year. Two or
three monster fat steers lie suffering
upon spits in convenient proximity to
the potato troughs, and the glutton can
kill himself eating barbecued beef and
potatoes if he wants to. No one will
try to check him if his appetite runs
riot. Grape and Cherry day is now
new institution lately established at
Canyon City, the center of the biggest
fruit region IN the eastern part of the
state, but the date is not yet mentioned.
That it will attract thousands is attest
ed by the brilliant success of the other
three feast days have mentioned The
governor attends each of these celebra-
tons with his entire staff, and he would
damn himself politically in Colorado if
he should decline to go and eat himself

MUCH IN A YAWN.
One That Goes Clear Over is a Great Re-
fresher of the Human System.

One That Goes Clear Over Is a Great Re-
fresher of the Human System
To yawn is to do good deal more
than merely ''to open wide the mouth
through drowsinesS or WEAKNESS" as
the dictionary tells us. According to
Mrs. Russell, of Delsartean fame, the
yawn is an involuntary exercise which
nature suggests to us when, in conse-
quence of sleep or drowsiness, or ennui,
or cold, or hunger, or indigestion, some
thing is needed to restore the system to
a state of general activity. Through it
and the movements which accompany
1T the whole body, beginning with the
muscles of the throat and face, is slim
nlated and refreshed, the successive mo-
tions extending throughout the entire
frame and reaching finally to the feet.
"a good yawn," says Mrs. Russell,
sis always slow, and the best uses
every articulation in the body-prob-
ably every muscle-possibly refreshes
every nerve. Not all at once or in
jerks, but slowly, in perfect SUGGESTIONS
or rhythms, with the best possible
breathing. Certainly no gymnast, with
the single exception of Francois Del
Barte, ever SO arranged the same eX-
peuditure of force, nervous and mus
cular, as to result in an equal amount
of invigorating effect upon the system"
And again we are informed that yawn-
ing embodies all the laws of growth
needed for movements that are to give
physical growth and refreshment, and
some of the laws which are necessary to
the higher growth, so-called, of the
emotions and the intellect"
The moral of these observations
would appear to be that we ought all to
yawn as much as possible-the oftener
the better; and further, since yawning
comes so near perfection as mode of
bodily exercise, that we should do well
to discard such conventionalities as
Gumbbells and the horizontal bar, and
to cultivate our bodily powers by mere
ly lounging in our chairs and yawning.
Merely to think about it or to read
about it is enough to set some people
ngspe, while, il these devices fail, the
desired result can be attained in pure
1y mechanical fashion. Droop the eye
lids as if sleepy, at the same time roll
ing the eyeballs slightly upward,
though without closing the eyes; re-
peat the movement some half dozen
times and you viii find yourself Begin
ming to yawn--Chicago Herald.

An Unusually Light Weight.

Florian Grzibek. from Pless, in Sle-
STA, a boy of seventeen, has been ex-
amined by the Anthropological society
of Berlin, Prussia, respecting his weight
He is too light for his size, so that his
body sinks only half down in the water.
In fact it would seem impossible to
drown him without attaching addition
al weights. With six pounds attached
TO his feet he sank in water TO the
shoulders; with ten pounds to the eyes
Fourteen pounds were required to make
him sink entirely under water. The
young man weighs about one-eighth
less than the normal weight of a man OF
his stature.

ANCIENT FISHES.
A Curious Collection Prepared for
the National Museum.
Vertebrates from the Sedimentary Depos-
Its Of tho Lower Sflurian Epoch
Rare Geological Discoveries
In America.

A collection Of the oldest fishes of the
world is being prepared for exhibition
at the National museum, Washington,
says the Star. They were dug out Of
the rocks recently at Canyon City, Col.
Great scientific interest has been
aroused by the discovery, because they
are thousands of years more ancient
than any creatures with backbones ever
found before. They come from the
sedimentary deposits laid down by
water in the distant epoch called the
silurian- These are from the lower
silurian, and some notion of the differ
ence of time may be got from the fact
that the two horizons" are separated
in the Appalachian region by twenty
thousand feet Of sediment.
Where these fishes were found was
once sand beach on the western shore
of a vast interior sea, which extended
eastwards from the Rocky mountains,
and covered large part Of the CONT
nent. Biologists, wandering through
that region SO prolific of treasures in
the shape Of fossils, came upon the de-
posits accidentally. The line Of the
ancient beach is still visible, although
it is OVERLAND by sedimentary rocks Of
subsequent formation They made ex-
cavations with pickax and blast, get
ting out great quantity of material,
which was brought to Washington.
Thirty millions of years have perhaps
elapsed since the creatures thus dug
out were living. It must have been
strange world in which they had their
being so far back in the night of time.
Even the reptiles which fourished and
attained such gigantic Dimensions at
later period did not yet exist. The only
vertebrates were fishes
These fishes of the lower silurian
were all small-the diminutive types of
the great fishes which swarmed in the
waters during later period, which has
been called the age of fishes. They
were clad in armor, being covered with
plates of bone instead of scales. Their
skeletons were composed wholly Of
cartilage, like those of the sharks of to-
day, which themselves represent an
enormously ancient fnny pattern.
Under the microscope it is possible to
see the structure Of the bone which
composed the plates. In similar ar1nor
was the huge and ferocious dinichthys,
as well as other marine monsters of
subsequent epoch, dressed.
