THE SNAKE NUT.

a Queer Vegetable Production OF tho
West Indies.
nut which should be classed with
such wonderful vegetable productions
as the "Vegetabar Worm" of China, the
Vegetable Fly" of Australia, and other
plant oddities of that ill1, is the snake
nut of Demerara. THIS paradoxical
vegetable is said to also grow in some
parts OF Cuba and British Guiana, the
first specimen in the British museum
having been sent from the latter coun-
try. These remarkable nuts vary in
size, some being as large as n goose
egg, others not larger than q walnut.
The kernel of each and every ONO does
not simply "bcar close resemblance"
but is pcsfect counterpart OF a boa
constructor, lying coilcd up as if asleep
the head, general taper of the body,
spots and everything being true to life.
When the kernel Is yet unripe it may be
unwound or uncoiled and Strengthened
out. In this state, although it is then
without the spots, the resemblance to
the body fangs, scales and tail of o
reptile is simply extraordinary.
Those who can overcome the natural
aversion to tasting such thing declare
that the mt is one of fine flavor, being
equal in every particular to the cream
nut or the English walnut.

a PuzZ1InR Case,

A woman was brought to one of the
New York hospitals some weeks ago
suffering from typhoid fever, but one
feature of the case could not be account
ed for by the diagnosis of typhoid. The
woman's body was covered from head
to foot with small star-shaped figures.
Each was composed of central spot no
larger than pin head, surrounded by
five other spots of the same size at rern-
lar distances from each other. Such a
species of slSin disease had never before
como under tho observation Of the hos
pital staff, and there was nothing to be
found in the books which would clear
up the case. The woman was too i'll 10
talk about it, and no light. was thrown
on the subject until the patients mother
oamo 20 the hospital to see her. She
vas an old woman, born IN the Austrian
Tyrol Of peasant stock. She explained
how on the first day her daughter way
talSen sick she had made the marks
which were sstill visible on her body,
and then rubbed her with kerosene as {.
preventive against fever. The instru-
mcnt used WAS cork with i've needles
stuck into it. ...aa,,.. 81. -s..a.sAA. -....-.

1--WE pointed to him as he lay in our
full sight, some fifty or sixty yards
away. She stood looking at him for
two or three min utes without saving a
word. We had all moved away q little,
for her white face and hopeless eyes
we're worse to look at than if she had
broken down and cried.
"'Can't he be brought in?' she asked,
presently.
"'Som e of US would be ready to run

''She stood for awhile longer and
then turned away. Presently we saw
her, to our establishment, come out
from house that was included in the
line of the intrenchment, having a
door opening outside. We shouted to
her to turn back, but she didn't seem
to hear US. At any rate, she walked
straight on, with her eyes fixed on her
husband. She had not gone MANY
yards before the Dutchmen began to
fire. Every man on our wall opened
fire al once, without orders, at the
windows of the house they held, hop
ing to keep down their fire as much as
possible: and it fnay be that we made
it SO hot for them that they did not aim
as well as usual.
AT any rate. the woman kept
straight on till she reached her hus-
band. We saw her kneel down beside
him, and for time she was safe. We
shouted to her to remain where she
was till evening. Presently, however,
we saw her lift him up, and take him
in her arms. 1t was heavy weight
for woman, for it takes a strong man
TO carry another who can do nothing
for himself. She was we'll built wom-

strength: at any rate, she lifted him off
the ground and started. We stopped
firing and gaze her cheer after cheer,
and even the Datchnel must have
been touched. Anyhow, not a shot
was fired as she came across the open.
You NAV imagine we held our breath:
and what cheer we gave when glanc-

door safely. The doctor ran into the
house as she entered, and cane back in

IN HONOR OF SEQUOYAH.

TAHLEQUAH, L. T., April pa private
subscription has been started here TO raise
funds to erect suitable monument to the
memory of George Grit, better known to
the world as Sequoyah, inventor of the
Cherokee alphabet The monument will
be placed in the public square which sur
rounds the capitol. Grit WAS Il half
breed, and when but a boy developed Il
talent for drawing and finally became
quite an artist. His invention of the
Cherokee alphabet WAS considered one of
the greatest achievements of the age in
which he lived. The alphabet consists of
eiChty-f0ur characters and it differs from
other languages in the one very important
feature, its incapabiliUy of expression
through the English alphabet. Grit
wandered away to foreign land, and no
one knows where he died, not even his
own people having an idea of his final rest
ing place.

for utterance, and it was truly pitiable to see
him heroically wink back the pearls of grief''
as they globed themselves in trembling pellu.
cidness. ready to fall in eloquent tribute of the
early fallen martyr. Stern adhesion to the rule:

him. But the thing that troubles the whilom

turned to his Office the next day and resumed
the daily grind of filing the huge seated of.

that it is the genuine Hanselman. as he was ac-
