strange Experience

I'm the course of his long fight against
slavery General Hawley and his oic
friend. John Hooker, had one expert
ence which is probably unique among
New ENGLAND citizens. Hawley bought
and Hooker owned a doctor of divinity.
A scholarly colored man, James Pen
nington, who had received at Heidei,
berg the degree of d. D., was settled
over the Talcott street church in Itsrs-
ford Conn. 1t anne out that he ran
away from slavery when a boy. He
was owned at the South, and when
the fugitive slave law was passed there
was danger of his capture n servl-
tude. So Lawyer Joe Hawley went to
his owners. for Mr.. Hooker, bought this
doctor of divinity and brought nj.
Hooker back the bill of sale. MIR:
Hooker tried for a day the feeling OF
owning a minister and then put on re,
cord in the town clerks office a deed
giving the Rev. DIR. James remington
the ownership of himself.

IT WAS HORSE AND HORSE,

A Bluff BY . Gentleman From the
..0ut" That Didn't Work.
They were in q concert hall In the
Tenderloin district on Thanksgiving
evening, and the streets in the vicip:
ity were crowded with enthusiastic
college boys, who yelled for Yale on
the least ~provocation, and kept it up
necessarily. Down nea the stage
were a number of sports of distinctive
types, n party being Enthusiastically
dorsey" and a crowd Of three or
four to the left being composed of
boisterous Yale students, who had q
weakness for blue ribbons.
After imbibing with unfailing reg
ularity, big collegian became too
enthusiastic over the high kicking of
q danseuse who held the boards, and,
in waving his walking cane, he acci-
dentally struck one Of the '.hOrsey"
gentlemen, who ore a huge striped
shirt and dazzling diamonds. on the
head. The gentleman from Gutten-
burg, for such he proved to be, had
evidently been up against a hard
game during the afternoon, and, up
to the time of the accident. he had
repeatedly cast some slurring re-
marks about gosh blamed dudes,"
speaking in an undertone to his COM
p%anions.
The knock on the head was too
much for him, however, and jumping
up he looked the six-foot student
square in the eyes and shouted: You
gol darned Back Bay idget. I'll drop
the flag on you in a minute and send
you down de back stretch at a record
breaking pace quicker'n you kin say
Jack Robinson. Den I'll put de spurs
into you and gallop you down to de
Wire all a-%swervin' quicker'n Salvador
could 90 down a coal hole. Don't
make no breaks at me young man,
see" the last remark being com
panied by a d%exterous wave of the
hand, after which his vocabulary was
evidently exhausted, and, growing
exceedingly red in the face, he sat
down nervously.
The big collegian was nonplussed
for the moment, but he quickly re-
covered himself and let q yell out of
him which could be heard down to
the Battery. What" he said, "YOu!
you insignificant horse trout. do you
know what I'll do with you? I'll just
form a V here, all to myself. and
buck your center. Then I'll tackle
you fair. 60 round your right end for
about forty yards, then I'll make a
touchdown and kick goal with you all
this place. Dye mind that?"
1t IA too much for the Gutten-
burg sport, says the New York Adj
vertiser, and realizing that his bluff
didn't work. he pushed his way out of
the throng and disappeared down
Sixth avenue.

ASNAKE. CAT, AND AN OLD HEN
Biddy Disr Osed Of the Ophidian Neatly
bY Swallowing 1t Alive.

Biddy Disr Osed of the Ophidian Neatly
by Swallowing 1t Alive.
Mrs. j. J. Edison discovered that
the house cat and a snake we're having
q battle in the yard, and called Mr..
Edison to the rescue of kitty, says
the Union Strings, Ala, Herald. But
MIR. Edison was more curious to
see the fight 60 on than he was anx-
ions to rescue the cat, especially as
the cat did not seem anxious to be
rescued. The snake, which was of
the species commonly known as the
s'spreading-a ADDER and about IS
inches long. would curl itself into po-
sitiOn time and again and strike Vi
ciOusly at the cat. The cat must
have had some previous training under
the Jim Corbett system, for its 1.-THE
body was just out of reach of the
reptiles poisonous fangs every time.
The cat retorted by bounding at it's
snakeship with surprising quickness.
and with wide-open claws would try
to tear the body of the snake. Some
times the snake would spread out It's
head until it seemed twice its natural
size. But this only made the cat use
her claws more swiftly.
The peculiarly fascinating battle
scene continued for several minutes.
watched by Mr.. and Mrs. Edison.
Both cOmbatants at last took a
breathing spell, seemingly quite
tired. About the time hOstilities
commenced anew an old hen with her
brood of young chickens appeared on
the spot. The hen sided with the ca:
and attacked the snake, for the pur-
pose, as Mr.. Edison thought. of get
ting a meal for the little ones, and
after pecking at it nee or twice
caught it firmly just back OF the head
and shook it violently. The little
chicks thought that they would have
a picnic. But not so; the hen DELHI
erately swallowed the whole snake
before it was dead. The little chicks
looked Disguised @ account of their
mothers gluttony. while pussy en-
viously bristled up at seeing the hen
whip the snake clean ..Out of sight"
Mr.. Edison says the snake was
swallowed with great difficulty, and
he vas amazed to see the hen accom-
plish the feat of swallowing so large
a thing. The spreading adder is very
poisonous. and it is wonderful that
the hen did not die. Beyond appear
ing to be gorged and consequently
for a short while. she appeared
to be in her usual good health. and
to last accounts there are no little
orphan chickens at Mr.. EidsOn's.

The Palsy.

People suffering from palsy are now
said to derive benefit from railway jour
neys. and, on the principle of like eur
ing like, the greater the shaking the
more complete the cure. For the use OF
patients a certain doctor has invented
an oscillating chair in which those af-
fiicted with the terrible disease may be
rocked and racked in a most terrible
manner. Another health-giving appa-
ratus is a vibrating hemlet applied to
the head by a number of metallic strips,
to which q trembling motion is i'm
parted by an electric motori in the crown
of the hemlet. and we are assured that
it gives relief to sufferers from nervous
headaches by inducing lassitude and

No Cloud Without Rain.

A very curious fact is that a cloud
is always raining. Even in summer,
when the cloud over our heads is
white. the drops are falling from it.
But they are very small and they
evaporate before they reach the
earth.
In evaporating they pass from the
cloud-particle stage to the h~aze-par-
ticle stage: from s%aturation to simple
condensation: or the dry dust parti-
cles or which the condensation
takes place may be left perfectly dry.
1t is a general truth that when a
cloud is formed it begins to rain.
The minute particles of water come
down in millions. The distance they
fall depends on their size.
If the air the cloud rests on is dry
and warm they do not get far. If it
is chilly they collect in masses and
form drops of rain that reach the
earth.-LOngman's Magazine.

But inside-what then? He saw .

large blue eyes and masses of pale
brown hair. seated with one hand
resting between the back of the chair
and her head, looking straight at him
with q very frightened little gaze. II
was Ethel.
Max did not enter beyond that frs,
step. With a movement quick as
lightning he turned on his heel and
was out in the hall: He seized his
belongings and fed.
Now, Miss Beth's house, as l said
before, was q modern one, and some
what peculiar. Max. in his per.
plexity and confusion, rushed into
the back yard, and the walk ended in
the door of the stable. John. Beth's
hired man. was in the yard. Seeing
a figure fee from the house and run
ming toward the stable, he naturally
supposed it to be a thief. One OF
these gentry had been making great
excitement in the neighborhoOd. So.
before Max could halt on the thres-
hold of the stable door. pe~rceiving
that it was not the gate, he found it
clapped to behind him-upon him
and himself a prisoner.
In vain he shouted and argued.
Through the heavy door his voice
sounded unnatural; and John, ex-
citedly happy at having captured the
burglar who had been terrorizing the
vicinity, could not recognize it at all.
At length. finding exposulation
useless. Max lay down upon some
hay and fell asleep.
He was awakened by a light shining
in his eyes. He opened them to find
a policeman with a warrant and a pair
of manacles: John. looking much
crest-fallen: Ellen. the cook. two or
three men. and last and most. in per-
feet agonies of laughter, Beth Daven-
port herself.
1t was then about IL o'clock. 1t
took some time to make explanations
to satisfy the crowd, but at length
they were all gone. and Beth and Max
stood on the front porch alone.

said. s.Isaw her. 1t was your doing,

he said. what a that matter?"

Ethel say?"
Il do not care 1t is enough that

SULTAN AND TlRAS,
Bismarck's Stories of Two Frien

Stories of Two Friends
Faithful Beyond Reproach.
WIN an interview with DR.. Hans
Blum. Prince Bismarck related a few
stories concerning his two faithful
friends, the late imperial dogs, Sui
tan and Tiras, says the New York Sun.
whenever l went away from
home" said Bismarck. Sultan nosed
about everywhere for me, with every
evidence of ceep sorrow. Finally, he
would always seek consolation in my
white military cap and my dearskin
gloves, which he would carry in his
mouth to my work room and drop on
the floor. He would then lie down
with his nose on them, and would not
leave them except for meals until l
came back.
.Old Tiras. too, was very intelli-
gent and faithful. l used to go to the
Reichstag through the garden behind
the ~chancellQr's palace. and thence
through the kOniggratzer strasse.
AS went out the gate into the street
/ would turn to Tiras. who had fol-
lowed me so far, and say simply
.Reichstag' in my ordinary tone of
voice. At once Tiras would trip head
and tail and sneak back to the house.
Once when / started out in uniform l
left my walking stick just inside the
garden wall. returned four hours
later from the Reichstag. and as |
entered the house l noticed that
Tiras was not there as usual to well
GENE me.
To my inquiry about the dogs
whereabouts the Waterman replied:
He has stood for four hours at the
back garden wall, and will not let
anybody go ear your ~excellency's
walking stick. At Varzin one day /
found by the roadside a wood cart,
which l thought had been stolen, be-
cause the wood was green. l told
Tiras to watch it while / went to
make inquiries. Nevertheless, he
began to sneak after me. I turned
back and laid my glove on the cart.
and Tiras remained. watching it for
more than All hour as if he had taken
root in the ground"

A young lady had q beautiful gold
watch of which she was unduly proud.
The time-piece was exhibited on various
occasions, and a few days ago, when
some admiring friends were examining
it, the watch accidentally slipped from
their fingers. A cry of dismay went up
when the party saw the watch disap-
pear with a gulp in the yawning
mouth of a dog which sat at their feet,
looking expectantly upward and good
naturally wagging its tail. Poor doggie
imagined that he had received a choice
morsel, and looked pleased with his
feat of catching it on the fly, but it
proved to be his death warrant. He
was summarily dispatched, and at the
post-mortem the watch was recovered,
none the worse for the mishap.

Treating Snake Bites.

Sir Joseph Fayrer, who is the great
est living authority on the subject of
snake bites, holds that 4 person suffer
ing from snake poison is practically
dying of nervous exhaustion and
consequently when the victim is forced
to take violent exercise in order to
throw off by perspiration the poison
that has been absorbed in his system,
his end is in reality being fastened.
P~erspiration should be induced by a
vapor bath SO as to draw the poison out
of the system. Sir Joseph Frarer's
experience leads to the conclusion that
at the present time there is no known
cure for the bite of either the cobra or
the DabOla.

Peter Gruber's Unique Garb.

Peter Gruber. the Rattlesnake
King, of Venango county, has made
the most unique costume any man
ever wore. 1t consists of coat, vest.
trousers, hat, shoes and shirt, and is
made entirely of the skins of rattle
snakes.
Seven hundred snakes, all caught
and skinned by Gruber during the
past five years. provided the material
for this novel costume. To preserve
the ~fexibility of the skins to the
greatest possible degree, the snakes
were skinned alive, first being made
unconscious by chloroform.
They were then tanned by .
method peculiar to Gruber, and are
as soft and elastic as wooden goods.
The different articles for this outfit
were made by Oil City tailors, shoe
makers and hatters, and the costume
is valued at $1,OOO.-New York Sun.
