Secrets Of Snake-Charmin1.

A snake-charmer can, by a single
motion of his hand, make a moving
shake stop instantly.
The reason is this: A snake is
most timid animal. His ewes, as has
been said before, while dull to color
and form, are quick to motion, es-
pecially if it is rapid. If any large
thing moves very quickly too near
him, he gets frightened and scurries
off; while at certain distance the mo-
ton stops him if he be moving. He
stops from establishment, fear, or the
wish to see what it is that moves.
Hence he glides on, unconscious of the
charmer's presence near him so long
as the latter remains perfectly quiet;
the snake doesn't know him from a
tree or rock. But when he gives
sudden evidence of life. the snake is
astonished, and Immediately remains
stock-still.
In India and Africa the charmers
pretend the snakes dance to the music,
but they do not, for they never hear
1t. A snake has no external ears.
and perhaps gets evidence of sound
only through his skin. when sound
causes bodies in contact with him to
vibrate. They hear also through the
nerves of the tongue, but do not at
all comprehend sound as we do. But
the snakes eyes are very much alive
to the motions of the charmer, or to
the moving drumsticks of his confed-
crate: and, being alarmed. he pre-
pares to strike. A dancing cobra (and
no other snakes dance) is simply a
cobra alarmed and in posture of at
tack. He is not dancing to the
music, but is making ready to strike
the charmer.-St Nicholas

WHAT ARE KRAUSE'S HEADACHE
CAPSULES?

To be brief will tell you they are I'm
like anything prepared in America.
A few years since an acquaintance who
for years had been q headache sufferer.
until his system had been nearly ruin
ed, was advised to go to Carlsbad
Springs, Germany, to try the effects
of the water While the waters were
apparently benefit, still they were
not cure While at the Springs he
heard a great deal about the court
physician DIR. Krause, who afterwards
became famous the world over owing
to the Mackenzie controversy during,
and after, the last illness of the EN-
peror Frederick.
He consulted DR.. Krause in regard
to his headaches, and, to quote the
doctors words:
Here is a prescription which, if
taken as I direct, will prevent or stop
any kind OF headache, no matter what
the cause. You will find the fire.
quency of attacks will diminish, and
by taking the capsules when you feel
the approach of headache you will
never have another"
The patient was practically cured
and with his permission. it is prepared
and sold as Krause's Headache Cap

AN IRISH SOLDIERS FEAT.

During the Revolutionary war de-
tachment of American soldiers was en-
camped in a dense woods in eastern
Pennsylvania, and fearing surprise
kept sharp lookout for the foe.
Pickets were thrown out in all direc-
tons, and one of these an Irishman,
n med Mike Grady, enacted deed of
daring that was audacious as we'll as
heroic. For hours he had kept atten-
tive watch in all directions within the
limits of his post; but at last, tired of
the dull monotony of b duty, he de
termined to wander Of IN quest of ad
venture After time @ came to field
of wheat, close to the road. He had
just concealed himself among the
wheat, with his musket beside his
PROSTATE body, when he overheard
voices. Peering cautiously from his
hiding place, he observed walking
along the road five redcoats in earnest
conversation. As they reached the
part of the road nearest the watchful
picket, Mike suddenly arose, and after
three rapid bounds stood before the
startled soldiers.

Taken by surprise, and imagining
that the wheat field was full of Amer

to the rescue at the slightest alarm,
the startled redcoats hurriedly laid
down their arms, and falling into line
at Mikes command, with their auda

they were marched toward headuuar

AFEAREUL ADVENTURE.

To be caught and swept down an
avalanche, and survive the shock OF it,
must be thrilling experience to re-
member-to say nothing of the victims
feeling while actually inside the cata
ract of snow. Some years ago several
Alpine travellers were oyertaken by a
tremendous snow slide, and one of the
party was smothered, besides the
guide, who was carried down over a
frightful precipice. The rest were
buried in the part Of the slide that did
not 60 over the brink. One Of them
tells his story as follows:
Around me heard the horrid hiss
ing of the SNOW, and far before me
the laundering of the foremost part of
the avalanche. To prevent myself
sinking made use of my arms, much
in the same way as when swimming
in standing position.
At last noticed that | was moving
slower; then I saw the pieces of snow
in front Of me stop at some yards dis
lance; then the snow straight before
me stopped, and I heard on large
scale the same creaEing sound that is
produced when a heavy cart passes
over hard frozen snow in winter
I felt that / also had stopped, and
instantly threw up both arms to pro-
tect my head in case l should be Gov
cred up. I had stopped, but the snow
behind me was still III motion; its
pressure on my body was SO strong
that I thought I should be crushed to
death This tremendous pressure
lasted but short time, and ceased as
suddenly as it had begun.
/ was then covered up with snow
coming from behind me. My first
impulse was to try to recover my head,
but this l could not do. The ava
lanche had frozen by pressure the
moment it stopped, and / was frozen
in.
While trying vainly to move my
arms, suddenly became aware that
the hands as far as the wrists had the
faculty of motion. The conclusion
was easy; they must be above the snow.
I set to work as well as [ could; it
was time, for 1 could not have held
out much longer.
At last l saw faint glimmer Of
light The crust above my head was
getting thinner and it let little air
pass, but [ could not reach it any
more with my hands; the idea struck
me that l might pierce it with my
breath. After several efforts l sue
ceeded in doing so, and felt suddenly
rush of air toward my mouth: / saw
the sky again through little round
hole
A dead silence reigned around me.
1 was SO surprised to be still alive, and
so persuaded at the first moment that
none of my fellow-sufferers had sur
vived, that I did not even think of
shouting for them. I then made vain
efforts to extricate my arms, but found
it impossible; the most [ could do was
to join the ends of my fingers, but
they could not reach the snow any
longer. After a few minutes I heard
man shouting. 1t was one of my
friends, who had dug himself out and
come to nv rescue.
