Danbury News. July 26.) PYTHON EGGS.

Perhaps about as curious thing as Dr. Knox ever had iii the line of curiosities is his African python snake, Eve, to-day, as she lays coiled about half-bushel of eggs laid some time Sunday night. It is all event that ophiologists will be interested in. @& &4 &@
 The discovery was made Monday morn ing. For some time Adam and Eye, two big African pythons, have been domieiled in the big snake cage in the doctors back office. The bottom of the cage is covered by deep layer of dirt and graysa. Both these snakes have been fl Dr. .Knox's possession U year, and haxe sometimes been on exhibition.
 Sunday evening Dr. Knox passed the cage several 'times, going to and from his Efront offlce. Bvefys time he passed the cage the python snake hissed at hin. He paid no attention to the -snak and was
 moro amused than othefwise It the incl dent. Later in the evening he locked up his office aud drove to Brewster, where his family is. now stopping. When the doEter opened his office on Monday, the ! first thing he remembers doing was to ex- anime his snake collection. He looked in the cage, and saw what he supposed were soveral new potatoes lying under the py- thon snake, Eve. He opened the cage to remove them Going close to the snake, t hissed at him. This made him pause. Then he took 3 second look and was sur Eprised 10. see about hundred snake eggs under her.
 Two Of the eggs are on the writer's desk as samples. They vary in size and are rather heavy. Iheysare soft to the touch, oval in form and of ashy gray color. The smaller of the eggs is the size and shape of aaduck's. The larger one is no thicker,
 but about six inches long. They were Eslightly specklede 1t is said that the lshell will become hard 1 ~ Perhaps snake laying eggs in eaptiv- ity Is not unusual, but the only case called Co the Visitors attention was when a py- thon did B similar thing at the Paris zoo logical garden 4n. 1S4l.

Headache and nranepsla.

William E. Rockwell, No. SIG West
57th Street, New York, says:
81 have been a martyr to the bilious
headache and dyspepsia. Any indis'
erection in diet, overfatigue or cold,
brings on a fit Of indigestion, followed
by a headache lasting two or three
DAYS at a time. 1 think must
have tried over twenty differ
ent remedies, which were rec
commended as certain cures by
loving friends, but it was no use. AT
last I thought would take simple
course Of purgation with BRANDRETH's
Pills. For the first week took two
pills every night, then one pill for
thirty nights; in that time l gained
three pounds in weight, and never had
an ache or pain since"
Disease in one part Of the body will
eventually Fill the body with disease.
Every year or two some part of the
system grows weak and begins to de-
cav. Such part should be removed at
once, and now matter be allowed tc
take its place. There's 30 need of cut
ng it out with surgeons scalpel.
Purge away the old, diseased and
ornout parts with BRANDRETH's PILLS.

TIE MIDWAY REFLECTED IN MILLINERY

An Algerian bonnet for the theatre is
little suggestive OF the Plaisance. 1t
is hardly more than a bandeau OF velvet
coming low on the forehead and crossed
by ieweled ribbons. At the sides over
each ear a rosette Of yelling is set, and q
slight sweep Of the yelling chiffon falls
ouer the ear. This is, OF course, mere
suggestion Of the veil thai envelOps the
Algerian girl who serves as model.
The bonnet is only becoming to really
beautiful face, because the hair shows
hardly at all and the affair looks little
queer after all, but to look little queer
means TO be real stylish TO many, so the
fashion is chronicled.

At the last term Of the Circuit Court
c rule was issued against the County

favor Of John Higgins, for a small strip
of ground near the mouth OF Big Grave
creek. on which 20 build the southeast
sbutment OF the county bridge, the cor
ner Of the superStructure being also

entered ia favor OF Mr.. Higgins, and he
was nut in possession Of the ground,

the corner Of the bridge. A few
DAYS ago be went TO work tearing down
the stone abutment with the intention
of hauling 10 away. Last week tue

vice OF Prosecuting Attorney Parsons
RI. McFadddn was hired TO move the
bridge of the part Of the abutment
awarded to Higgins and over, onto the
county ground Yesterday morning
McFadnen, with a large force OK work
men, went down and commenced NOV
ing the bridge. Along 10 the afternoon
Mr.. Higgins got wind Of the affair ano
be, together with his attorney, d. b.
Evans, went down and ordered the men
10 stop. After they had gone down,
some Of the public officials thought
there might be trouble, and the Sheriff
was sent down 20 preserve the peace.
When he got 90 the scene everything was
quiet and he returned TO his Office. The
men said they would do nothing towards
moving that portion located on Dir.
Higgins last night, and should they
commence operations again this morn
ing, Mr.. Higgins win swear out war
rants for all the parties engaged 10 the
work, and also bring civil actions
