A Kentucky Snake Story.

Judge J. b. Bowman, who lives
near TallsbOrough, gave VanceDurg
(Ky.) correspondent OF the New York
World, an account OF wonderful
make fight that he recently wit
messed. He was going through strip
OF woodland on the way TO his wheat
field when his attention was af-
tracted by peculiar noise near his
pathway. Looking In the direction
whence the sound proceeded he OBJ
served blacksnake and ratulesndke
twlned together in deadly combat.
The blacksnake was wound about its
venomous enemy, endeavoring to
squeeze the life out OF him. The
Judge became an eager spectator OF
the novel combat Ever aud anon
the rattlesnake would bite the black
snake. Then a remarkable thing
would occur.
The blacksnake as soon as bitten
would uncoil himself, dart for a small
bush, aud bite off one OF the leaves
He would molsten 1t in his mouth
press out the juice, apply it TO the
bitten place, and then return to his
enemy again. This was repeated
several times, until the blacksnake

Judge Bowman says he never kills
He says it is their
and one they greatly enjoy
to destroy all the venomOus snakes
they can find. The Judge has

barn and keeps away all the rats and

Improved Stone-Breaker.

A machine has recently been ex-
hlblted which combines many useful
functions. 1t is guaranteed not only
to break stones to any required size,
but to screen them and to deliver
them automatically into any required
receiver. The machine is portable,
and will break eight tons Of stones,
etc, per hour. 1t saves, it is
claimed, cents ton in manual Ia
bor, produces % per cent less waste
In dust and clippings than the or
dinary machine; makes a much more
cubical sample of macadaB, and
saves all time and expense In pulling
down and refxing. 1t will deliver
dirsct into cart or truck, and a,
the same time leave behind no stone
larger than the holes iE the screens,
thereby making it f.lly reliable when
9 ther breaking metal" for macadam
or concrete purposes In this way
much trouble and anxiety as to the
size of the broken stone Is avoided.

Recent ENDS of the World"

A dozen times IN the present cent
been revive, and the interest still
felt in the subject may he conjectured
from the e1citemsnt caused only a
few months ago by the announcement
that telescope comet was about to
cross the orbit OF the earth. There
are many persons now living who re-
member when the stars fell' in the
early '30s and the excitement caused
by that then unexplained phenOme-
non. At that time II was believed
to be the beginning OF the end. The
Southern negroes were greatly
alarmed ard believed that the judg-
ment day had really come. while
their fright was shared in no small
degree by the whites VIM. Miller,
founder OF the "Millerites. went so
far as to fix the date for the end Of
the world in October, 1912, and when
his prophecy was not fulfilled, cor
rected his calculation, making lS47,
1913, and 1857 the proper dates
Many persons prepared their ascension
on some Jne of these dates, and hav-
ing made ready, were disappointed at
the failure. But above all, the fact
that popular expectation is
still entertained in spite OF all pre-
vious failures, is proved by the pres.
ence in this country OF large and
increasing denomination OF Christian
peOp,e, whose fundamental article Of
belief is that the end of the world is
near at hand and that their special
business is to be ready for that event

WILD FLOWERS OF WYOMING.

Wyoming has many beautiful species
of flowers, conspicuous among them
being the low-growlng Towering plants.
Cacti are everywhere present, there
being at least three varieties OF Opun-
tia, or Prickly Pear. Then there are
also the Epiphyllum and bel-llke
species, probably an Echinocactus.
The Yucca Filamentosa grows In
great abundance, throwing up its beau
tiful spikes of white flowers. The
wild Clematis is indigenous here, also
the wild Tiger Lily, Geranium, or
Cranes bill, Larkspur, several species
of Convolvulus, Cyclamen, Sweet Peas,
wild Tulip and Prlmroses.
There is a peculiar skeleton plant,
which seems to be bundle of twining,
leafless stems of a pale pea-green; 1t
grows to the height of about two feet,
and produces little blue flower. In
the fall, the bushes detach themselves
from the root and are blown about by
every idle wind so that the people call
them "tumbling weeds.
There are also many very fine species
of Ferns, some of those in the noun
tain canyons growing to height or
four feet, and very beautiful in form
and foliage.
On the mountains are very many
Alpine flowers found, some growing
near the streams and watered by the
icy waters of the melting snow, some
on the edge of rocky or barren tracts
where their scanty roots can but Just
maintain their hold. V. NJ.

Wash Day,

Recently there has been some talk,
which was probably quite idle, OF a
visit of the Emperor OF Germany to
the Republic OF Switzerland. 1t had
been asserted that no German En-
perOr had ever made a tour through
Switzerland; but this is not the case
since the Emperor Joseph IL Of Aus
tria, who In his time was entitled TO
be called German Emperor, visited
Switzerland In 1T77 much IS Peter
the Great Of Russia visited Holland
to learn wisdom OF the people
The Emperor tJoseph, during his
visit refused to receive official honprs
and went about as a private person1
An incident among many OF bis eX-
periences is well worth relating.
At village in the Canton OF Solo
thurn the Emperor put up at q coun-
try inn for dinner A meal was
served him which was lacking In some
OF tho elements OF a good dinner
He made no complaint, but the wo-
man who kept the inn came 70 him
and said, in explanations:
II hope you'll excuse the dinner.
but you see It's ~ash-day, and I'm
pretty sure that 9hen your wife Is at
the washtuh. Sir, you have to get
along with any kind OF meal you
can get"
Tho Emperor laughed, aud assured
the woman that when his wife did
the family washing he should expect
to fare very badlY.-Youth's Com

BIG RuRGLARIES.


It Takes Brains to Plan and Execute Them
Very few people have an idea of
the immense amount OF labor fore
| thought and scientific skill brought
to bear on big burglary. The first
thing necessary is to find house con-
tanning sufficient valuables to repay
the trouble and risk, and this first
step alone may take many weeks
Let it be undr TODD that only the
highest class Of expert burglars are
meant; men with comfortable bank
ing accounts and houses of their own,
and who after reducing risk to a
minimum by elaborate plans, acquire
enough in one night to keep them in
af1uence and eminent respectabillty
for more than year, although hav-
Ing but third share, as these burg
laries are invariably worked by three.
To illustrate the wonderful re-
source and ieisurelY way Of proceed
ing adopted by burglars take case
related by prominent detective.
The principal Of the burglars in this
instance, having fixed on a certain
house, was unable to acquire suf-
flcient information concerning 1t and
the owners This man then went to
the local butcher supplying the house,
and applied for a situation as driver
OF one Of his carts which delivered
meat at customers residences. After
producing unquesttonable references
(how obtained no one ever knew the
man was engaged on the round, which
included the house fixed upon.
Incredible as it may appear he
stayed with his employer for over
seven months, and gave the utmost
satisfaction; his only falling being a
weakness for chatting with the serv-
ants.
Five days after his resignation a
gigantic burglary was effected at the
house selected, and property valued
at over s20, 900 was stolen. The
thieves had smoked several cigars
and drunk a bottle OF port, so
that they were in no hurry, and to
crown all the booty was conveyed to
Its destination in the owners pony
ph;eton, which was duly returned the
same night but no real cIew was af-
forded, and the burglars were never
captured.
On another occasion a chamber
maid was escorted out, with a view
to matrimony (and burglary for two
months before the event came of. A
conveyance is always at shaad. and
generally OF stylish appearance; in
fact, Oh one occasion a brougham was
used, which the paSsersby and even
the policemen on the beat imagined
was the property OF one OF the resi-
dents close by.
AS regards tools, very few are neces
sary. owing to the skill and ingenuity
Of the operator. With a Jimmy,
spreader, drill, few pieces of strong
bent wire and little gunpowder, the
expert burglar can make his way
anywhere. To these are sometimes
added 4 set Of 'stumblers These
are lengths of fine steel wire, with
pointed stakes about a foot long at
tached to each end, and half dozen
OF these make but little bulk These
stumblers are fixed on the lawn or
paths about the house in such a way
that the wires are raised about six
inches from the ground, and prove
such success in case OF pursuit that
the burglars are compelled to hang
pieces OF white paper from the wires
In order that they may escape their
own traps, as they always run over
them.
