A u ~Swsllower.

A wonderful story reaches us from
Japan, of a snake swallowcr whu
has outdone all forerunners in the art
Saito Tora-no-suke was one day
breaking up some land, when he came
upon a snake three feet long. Selling
it in his hands, he called out to his
companions that If they would give
him 81 he would swallow the snake.
Although dollars are scarce in Japan,
it is stated that the money was at
once subscribed. the onlookers not
believing that the bet would be won.
But true 10 his word, Saito put the
head of the creature into his mouth,
and swallowed the whole three feet Of
snake without difficulty.
The punishment of his temerity was
swift and fell. While his companions
were gazing at him, speechless with
horror and establishment, he was seen
to change color and fall to the ground
in great pain. and he died in y few
minutes.

Hunter Sellick has for several years
been the possessor of two fine COW
moose, and his great ambition has
been to go into the raising bus.
mess. Year after year he has endeav-
orcd to capture u male moose but
failed. Some time ago he left None
ton for the forest country lying be.
tween the head waters of the Tobigue
and Mirami hi rivers. For days his
search was unavailin9. until one day,
about thirty miles away from any set
Element and in the heart of the forest,
he sighted the object Of his search.
1t was a magnificent specimen. fully
six feet high. AT this a it's antlers
had been shed. but the new ones were
already jatting forth. The dogs were
set to nipping the moose in the rear,
driving it toward a tree. Selliclz,
creeping around. suddenly threw his
lasso over the animals head, twisted
the rope around a tree and had the
moose a prisoner.
1t is comparatively easy for a sue
cessful hunter to bring home a dead
moose, but it is not so easy with a live
one. 1t took five weeks, climbing over
the hills, wading the morasses or ford
ing the rivers which marked the thirty
miles distance between the scene of
the capture and the first settlement.
The hunter at times had to employ q
catalnaran to cross the streams, the
moose swimming behind. Finally he
reached the In%tcrcolonial. took q box
rar, which was just high enough for
the moose. and brought his prize to
Moncton.

lowing the recent terrible storm upon the
Atlantic coast seems to nave made a last

such disasters usually do. At any rate,

ing his hours of suffering, he asked his
parents to ''Ask Jesus to help him. !"
Near his departure he sang some sweet
songs, and as his spirit took its flight he
said to those around his bed, move
away and let Jesus come"
Young and tender in life's morning,
Kind and gentle, well beloved;
Summoned Home without warning,
Took thy flight, thou precious dove.
peash concealed in thine own weapon,
Falling from thy precious hand,
Only raised thy spirit heavenward,
Thou didst move at God scommand'
Jesus heard thy earnst pleading,
Answered, too, without delay;
"Papa, mama, ask dear Jesus,
For your darling Jesse pray"
Mid thy suffering Jesus heard thee,
Gave His faithful, loving care,
Saved you with His own salvation,
And His Heaven with you did share
Thy sweet spirit in it's transit,
Sung of heaven in gospel song,
Told in rapture, mid Faiths vision,
"Move away let Jesus come "
Oh! He came and took our Jesse,
Now in + eaven he has home;
With the saints we hope to meet him
Where no death shall ever come.
Dearest Jesse on Gods bosom,
Held by His eternal care.
On bis throne take thy blessed station
Take the crown, the ransom wear.
Home, Sweet Home, Eternal mansion
Oh! we long for dwelling there,
Blessed thought, our stay is transient
Then we hope there joys to share.
