Poisonous and Harmless Snakes.

There is a certain physiological diff
erence between the poisonous and harm
less snakes, which exists very plainly in
their manner Of dentition. All snakes
arc objects of aversion and dread to
mankind, so much so that to be bitten
by snake has at times been so fearful
to the victim as to have produced death,
although the snake was harmless. Such
is the instructive dread with which these
reptiles are thought of that it may be
desirable to have some easy mode of
distinguishing the one kind from the
other. This distinguishing characteris-
tic is afforded by the teeth. In all pois-
onous snakes there are only two rows of
teeth. the fang or fangs being ar
ranged either within the two rows or
outside of them. The harmless snakes
have four distinct rows OF teeth. and
when the bite shows this kind of wound
and not amy single deeper or larger
puncture there need be no apprehen-
sion.-New Yorl: Times.

EDITORS HERALD The members OF
the Los Angeles Association OF the Deaf
were much surprised to see in the
HERALD OF the 20th instant note
signed by VIM. Ward, Henry Kracke,
Thos. R. Lane and Jas. d. Lane, attack
ing the association, especially Mr.. Widd.
the missionary, and claiming that the
report Of the annual meeting, as pub.
lished, was false. In reply to this we
Il inad i bsen bt Expelled from the member
ship some time age for disorderly and
quarrelsome conduct, yet they came to
the annual meeting and were, under
eufferance, allowed to take part
in it, and they used that privilege,
generously if unwieely given,
to stir up strife and dispute
and attempt to lun it all themselves,
failing in which they are now resorting
to any means they can think OF to bring
dscredit upon the association. The
other two are acting as they are doing
out of pure jealousy, being disappointed
at not being selected as committeeman
by the majority, and they will no longer
be members OF the association. In the
vote for committee Mr.. Ould received
10 votes, being the whole number pres.
ent at the meeting Mr.. Houghton l3,
Mr.. Trenholm IL, Mr.. Ward Z, Mr..
Kracke 4, Mr.. Dean 2. Therefore the
first three were selected. No one op-
posed the adoption of the mission
ary's report except those who are
now attacking the association, and
they are hopelessly in the minority.
Owing to this Quarrelsome spirit among
some ignornant mutee, which has broken
out time and again during the past three
years, the association has concluded to
reorganize and get rid of disorderly and
quarrelsome characters, who, in future,
though they will be allowed to attend
the Sunday services if they wish ard be-
have themselves, will not be admitted
as members nor allowed to disturb
future annual or business meetinga. A
set OF bylaws has been formed for itS
government and adopted by those whore
names are eigned hereunto, and all have
agreed to work in harmony for the ad-
vancement of the association, that it
may be made power for the good of
the deaf in this city:

Tho "Seoond Samson."

Richard Joy, who died May IS, 1742,
at the age of 81 and is buried in the st.
Peters churchyard, isle of Thanet,
Kent England, was known throughout
Europe as the Kentish Hercules" OF
the Second Samson. When but a
youth of II years, he was invited to
London by the king to give an exhibi-
tion in remarkable feats of strength.
Among the feats of his more mature
years was that of breaking, with his
hands and feet, a rope with tensile
strength of 35 hundredweight and the
lifting of 1900 pounds. The following
is copy of his epitaph:
Herculean herol famed for strength,
At last lies here-his breadth and length.
See how the mighty man is fallen!
TO death the strong and weak are all one;
The same Judgment doth befall

Stagnation Is Death.

The sun would be consumed by its
own ardor if it did not shine. Nature
knows nothing of boarding. The sun
gives away its gold without ostenta-
tion. The ocean gives its vapors to the
clouds, the clouds return them to the
earth, the rivers to the sea. There is a
constant exchange between lungs and
leaves. Stagnation is death. Give to
get; get to give. Ram Horn.
