ABOUT SNAKES.

An occasional correspondent of the NEWS in Falls Village sends us pack age of snake stories, from which we ''snake out' the following: EDITOR NEWS.
 "Again, load of us started out on berrying trip of some seven miles on Sharon mountain. About two miles be- low Lime Rock we drove up the mount ain quite ways and had good luck as to berries, but on our return we met with sight and made capture never to be forgotten. In coming down the mountain there was short turn where the road was quite steep, and our horses all at once pricked up their ears and stopped; and no wonder, for few rods ahead lay a monster rattlesnake right across the road, with tail erect about six inches playing like lightning, the rattles making & sort of singing, buzzing sound, which was startling to man or beast. Though suppose it was meant for peace our blood was at once aroused, and there vas no truce to be made with such an enemy. A couple at once jumped from the wagon and he was soon slaughtered and put aboard When we reached Lime Rock, we drove under the shed to exhibit our trophy. Here again we met with d surprise not ou the pro gram. A man and boy some 12 or 14 years old were present when we halted. They viewed the 'sarpint. and the man said to the boy you complain of the toothache good deal, now if you will just bite that animal from head to tail. I will warrant you free of it the rest of your life The boy rather hesitated at first, but finally seized it by the neck with one hand, and with the other some three feet lower, applied his teeth wig orously from neck to tail. We could fairly see his snskeship squirm as his teeth crunched along. This was IA rattler.
 shall never forget the remark that my older brother made at the time T should rather have died than to have done it. W. G. NJ
 Falls Village, June 25, 1892"
 Our correspondent also speaks of the wonderful beauty of the rattlesuak C when seen basking in the sun. Its col ors are very rich black and yellow. He also relates that once, when a boy, he touched the tail of one whose head had been crushed by his (the boy's) father when, as quick as lightning the bruised head struck the boys hand. We have also heard of this interesting individu- ality of the rattlesnake. [EDToR NEWS.

Carnegie and La bor Unions.

The real cause of the strike at Home stead was that the manager, MT Prick, has been trying to break up the labor organizations among MT Carnegie's workmen at that place. This being so, it is an interesting fact that Mir Carne- gie has conceded the right to the labor ing men to organize, not long ago he wrote as follows:
 'The right of workingmen to com bine and form trades unions is no less sacred than the right of the manufacturer to enter into associations and conferen- ces with his fellows, and it must sooner or later be conceded. My experience has been that trades unions, upon the whole, are beneficial both to capital and labor. They certainly educate the work ingman and give him truer concep- ton of the relations of capital and labor than he could otherwise form. The ablest and best workmen eventually come to the front in these organiza- tions."

A German doctor has started theory that most drunkards can be cured by very sim pie and pleasant course of treatment, namely, by eating apples at every meal. Apples, Dr. Tuplstt maintains, if eaten in large quanti- ties, possess properties which entirely do away with the craving that all confirmed drunkards have for drink. The doctor says that in many bad cases which have come un- der his notice he has been able to effect a cure by this means, the patient gradually losing all his desire for alcohol.

Dances falling within this oscilla-
ting period. Its expression of
extreme intensity is local. An
accompaniment Of rainy waves with
fD the period IN question is eleetri-
city which will be beautifully dis
played in chains of zigzag lightning
following in its fight the rarified
strattas Of the atmosphere which
