long chain lying Oh the floor, passed
1T around the serpant's body at a
point about six inches below where
he thought the child's head would
be. Directing several attendants to
grasp either end of the chain and
pull with all their strength he was
gratitied to notice relaxation of
the snakes efforts to swallow the
child. Then the chain was made
fast. The snakes tail was fastened
around post and the whole body
drawn to its greatest tension. This
rended his majesty inert and power
less. He still continued to gulp,
but his game was up. Two men
inserted wagon jack between his
jaws and by degrees they were pried
open and the boy pulled out. His
head and body were covered with a
thick saliva of a peculiar offensive
odor. The boy gasped for breath
and then burst into tears. Then he
looked around in a wondering way
and ran out of the house and across
the snow to his fathers wagon.
Although considerably bruised the
boy will recover unless blood poi
soning sets ink.

he loves; and not infrequently, adds
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
if he is disappointed in his affec-
ton, he pines and dies. In order
to commence his suit he sends for
a member of the girls tribe who
has access to the harem, and, first
insuring his secrecy by a solemn
oath, confesses his love and entreats
his confident to arrange an inter-
view. The confident goes to the
girl, gives her flower or blade
of grass, and says: "Swear by him
who made this flower and us also,
that you will not reveal to any one
that which | am about to unfold to
you" IL the girl will not accept
the proposal she will not take the
oath, but nevertheless, keeps the
matter perfectly secret from all.
If she is favorably disposed to the
match she answers: II swear by
him who made the flower you hold
and us, and the time and place of
meeting are settled. These oaths
are never broken, and it il not long
before the ardent lover becomes
the happy husband.

Look Out for Breakers.

Those who are arranging to at
tend the worlds fair will do well to
see that everything is done in a
businesslike way and that no un-
certainties are left open for future
arrangement. Otherwise they are
very liable to share the fate of the
Vicar of Wakefield's son Moses, who
attended the fair after endless pre-
paration and good advice, only to
be swindled and fleeced at every
point. Many who engage quarters
will arrive there to find that they
have no where to lay their heads.
Others will learn that prices have
been raised and that they must sub
NIT to the extortion or take chances
on sleeping out of doors. Numer-
Gus hotels have been advertised
that exist only on the frail found
alton of speculative imagination;
and those which have material
being are so metamorphosed through
the skill and imaginative genius
of hired artists that they will never
be recognized by the visiting guests
who made their arrangements in
advance. Even the pamphlets BEAR
ing the mark of official sanction
and approval have hotels advertised
that no one in Chicago ever saw or
ever will see. Some old rookery
that is located in the heart of the
city and is without claim to conven-
fence, comfort or beauty, is pictured
with charming surroundings, in
viting shade trees, gay equipages,
and handsome parks. There are
hordes of wolves bent OH fleeing
the unwary, and there is no safety
save in dealing through thoroughly
trustworthy people. Chicago desires
to properly entertain all comers;
but the shrewd rascals of the world
who always operate where the most
money is in sight are now arrang-
ing to reap harvest in the breezy
city. Those who go there must do
so with their eyes open and their
wits all in action.-Ex.

Swallowed by a Snake.

Barnard Quist, Norwegian boy
of years, had u most remarkable
escape from instant death at Bara-
boo, Wis, recently. While dozen
pythons and boa contractors were
being removed to larger cages by n
circus company wintering there,
the urchin ran into the cage of a
boa contractor more than 30 feet
long. Instantly the snake sprang
from the cage with distended jaws
and gobbled the youngster. The
attendants were Mortified to descry
the fast disappearing pair of legs
sticking out through the monsters
jaws. The great serpent's eyes
were aflame with excitement and i'm
another second or two the boy
would have disappeared. Henry
Ringing, giant in strength and
stature and a man of quick impulses,
grasped the serpent around the neck
and commenced shaking it. With
one swipe of its muscular tail it
sent Mr.. Ringing scurrying heels
over head across the floor. AL.

Things Useful to Know.

Use a small, soft sponge to ap-
ply the backing to stove.
Tannin mixed with mutton tai
low is good for chappcd hands.
Put a teaspoonful of salt into a
kerosene lamp once in a while.
"A good-sized sponge is nice for
cleaning paint and washing win
dows.
A large, soft sponge, either dry
or slightly dampened makes a good
duster.
A paste made of equal parts of
lard and powdered chalk will cure
corns.
Throw quantity of salt into the
stove if the chimney is on fire and
there is danger from sparks; if not
let it burn.
Nitre is excellent for a cold,
especially u feverish one. Use ten
drops to teaspoonful, according to
age, once in four hours.
A bottle of flexible collodion is
very useful for cracks in the hands,
scratches, cuts, etc. Care must be
taken to keep it well protected from
the air.-Good Housekeeping.

Low Voice Shows Reflnemnt.

Man inherited from his immedi-
ate ancestors, the apes and monkeys,
a voicie of considerable altitude, in
which the lower tones were almost
unknown. The monkeys chattered
to their fellows from tree to tree in
shrill head tones, the natural vocal
expression of a weak and timid race,
i'll whose physical formation the
head had begun to hold an import
ant place. The upper notes Of the
register were characteristic of the
first men, as they still are Of savage
tribes and people, and of the half
civilized members Of modern society.
whose voices have never been sub
jected to discipline.
The voices of country people
accustomed to magnificent distances
and conversation at long range
are, if not keyed higher, oftener
used in the upper ranges than those
of city people who feel obliged by
the necessity of good breeding to
moderate their tones. When man
is self-contained he uses the middle
and lower tones of his voice; when
angry the voice mounts gradually
to the head. lie the gentler sex
would oftener bear in mind the eulo-
gies of Shakspear and Scott of that
voice gentle and low, which is an
excellent thing in women, they
would more rarely have occasion to
wonder why they ceased to be at.
tractive.
The music of the Chinese, Japan

their songs are far from agreeable to
the ear, they still think they sing

How the Millennium Came.

Just out of Bennington, VT,
lived Deacon Tracey, and one day a
brother of his died and willed him
horse. The animal came to him
from a distance of seventy-fve
miles, and whether it was change
of scene or Il streak of natural cuss-
edness in him no one could say,
but he took fits" He would baik
on the slightest excuse at all, and
the deacon would have to hold HIM
self in and fool around until the
beast got ready to go on. He would
have got rid of him, but nobody
wanted the horse, and in hopes that
he might have a change of heart
the deacon continued to drive him
in and out of town.
One day he got notice that a
clergyman of his faith was coming
to spend a short vacation with him,
and drove in to meet the train. In
stead of the clergyman, who was
not very well known to him, he
picked up Boston drummer who
was out on a vacation and who
wanted to 60 to the next farm be-
yond the deacon's. Neither had
time for any questions before the
horse balked.
What's up?" asked the strang-
er as the rig came to a stop.
Hes baked" answered the dea-
con.
"WellP"
"Wall, | can't do nuthin' with
him. We've got to wait for him to
get ready"
That's - of a notew growl-
ed the drummer.
"W-what?" gasped the deacon.
"Why, - him, the way is to
get out and cut - out of his
hide" said the drummer.
Say. say called the deacon,
as he chewed on his tobacco with
fifty times the usual rapidity of
motion, ''you are swearing"
well such a cussed, internal
beast ought to be sworn at. Get
up and give him -"

wicked. If you, minister of the
gospel, can use profanity, it can't
be wicked in me, and now you hang

out of him so that he will remem-
ber it all his ----- life!'

Postage Stamps Are Very Modern

The man who has the mania for
collecting postage stamps is known
technically as philatelist. Phila-
tely was much ridiculed in its early
days, and is still, both by the press
and those not acquainted with its
value.
Postage stamps, as but few are
aware, are of recent invention, and
it is only since 1910 that letters
have been stamped, With the ad-
vent of the postage stamp, rates
were greatly lowered. Before that,
in England, the charge for sending
a letter the shortest distance was
sixpence, but with the introduction
of the stamp it fell to a penny.
The introduction of the postal sys-
tenn as it at present exists in nearly
every country on the globe, is cred
tied to Great Britain, which in 1840
issued covers and envelopes to pre-
pay letters all over the kingdom.
This plan was adopted through the
exertions of James Chalmers, al
though the honor has long been
given to Sir Rowland Hill.
The first country to follow was
Brazil. In 1912 set of three
stamps was issued, consisting of
three large numerals denoting the
value printed in black. Then came
the cantons of Switzerland and Fin
land with envelopes which to-day
are very rare; next came Russia.
United States, France, Belgium,
Spain, Bavaria, and other countries
followed in the train, until at the
present time there is scarcely por-
tion of the globe inhabited by civil
lied people that has not postal
system. Ohio State Journal.

An Arab loves as none but an
