rapy.s venomous cradis rellow.

The wife of lumberman named Will
hanson few days ago had novel and
terrifying experience with rattlesnake.
The Williamsons live In small cabin
on Lake CAleasieu. Mrs. Williamson
had left her 6-months-old baby asleep in
its cradle, near the open door, and was
going about her household business,
when she happened to approach the lit
tie bed to look at her child, and to her
horror saw line of mottled green and
black nestled close to the form of the
peacefully sleeping little one. The ugly
head was raised and resting on the child's
arm with its eyes keeping drowsy watch
over it.
The mother sank nearly fainting on
the floor, but with a parents bravery
realized that the snake must be dis
lodged at any cost to herself, as at the
first or slightest movement of the babe
the cruel fangs might be buried in its
flesh. It was necessary also to act with
speed, so, arming herself with pistol
belonging to her husband, she bent over
the cradle and with one rapid gesture
laid hold of the snake by the end Of its
tail and assuddenly gave it o jerk which
landed it on the floor. The creature
made at her with uplifted head, sound
ing its dreadful rattle as it coiled close
to her feet. But, aiming steadily, she
put ball through its body, and al
though it again tried to attack her she
fired again and again and succeeded in
killing it. Asst died it flung itself upon
her foot and struck the shoe with its
fangs, but it was only the death agony,
and the blow served only to entangle it
in the tie of the shoe, to which it was
still clinging when her husband reached
her, having heard the shots and run to

Cultivation OF Tobacco In Germany
OF late years there has been constant
diminution of the area under tobacco
cultivation In Germany, and the indus
try seems to be threatened with extinc-
ton. The British consul at Mannheim
In a report on the subject says that the
public taste demands better quality of
tobacco than can be produced in the
country, which is therefore becoming
more and more dependent upon foreign
growths. Tobacco, moreover, is an ex-
pensive plant to grow, requiring not
only heavy nanurfng, but much skill
and labor. IL Is very likely to suffer
from the weather, and even when har-
vested, and after the leaves have been
hung up in the barns to dry, the herb
still remains dependent upon the tenn
perature and upon proper treatment. In
short, its value depends upon a variety
of factors, and to be remunerative its
cultivation must be rewarded by good
price.
Whatever the market price, there is
always the excise duty to be paid, and
then there is the competition of the for
eign tobacco which, although often not
very good in quality, is generally very
cheap in spite Of the duty upon it. For
the cheapest description of cigars, and
for the peasant and workman, German
tobacco would always find market if
it could be proftably raised, but this
seems to be almost impossible without
reducing the excise duty or raising the
import duty. In 1892 only 14,735 hec-
tares were planted with tobacco, as
against 1888 hectares in 1891, and 3d.
262 hectares, the average of 1919, while
the number of planters has sunk from
1900 in 1890 and 1928 in 1891 to
145, ,023 in 1899.
