Ny medical friend explains: AS the
muscular power that extends or flexes
finger is at distance from the part

from irrita ton in a distant nervous
center. and is removed when the nerv-
Gus center is either soothed or ex-
hausted. The relief comes, not from
the mere escape of tears. which is only
q symptom, but from the cessation of
the storm in the nervous strain. If the
storm be claimed by soothing measures
as when we soothe a child that is
weeping from fear, annoyance or in

HOW SHE TELLS A STORY.
4 Woman's Wonderful Ability in Spinning
Long Yarn About Nothing.

4 Woman's Wonderful Ability in Spinning
Long Yarn About Nothing.
It is marvellous how a woman will
spin ont the story of some occurrence
that man would dismiss in half
dozen words. She will fondle it as if it
were precious baby; she will crowd
it with incident. and enter into particu-
lars with minuteness that is simply
appalling. And she will tell the same
story, with all its particularly, q dozen
times day If she be given the oppcr-
tunity, and to the same persons, indeed.
if they will allow 1T. The fact is,
woman is a talking animal, and she
talks ungrudginglv. Man is either too
mean or too lazy to speak duently. He
lacks imagination, also-the magma
ton that thinks many words are equiva-
lent to much matter. With woman, on
the other hand. to talk is to live. Her
vocal organs need no spur, no lubri-
cant: they work-no, not work, but
play-automatically and without fric-
ton. For example, a woman has seen
a horse run away and deposit its driver
by the side of the road Hear her:
''Oh, such a terrible thing 1 saw to-
day! It makes.me shudder every time

SNAKES FOR FOOD.
Only Prejudice Excludes Them from the
Bill OF Fare.

Only Prejudice Excludes Them from the
Bill OF Fare.
'Why don't people eat snakes?"
Because it is not stylish
The above question and answer are
really all that is necessary,at this date.
The question is suggested because at
the present day there is a great de-
mand for two other classes of reptiles,
namely, frogs and turtles, for food,
and yet we never hear of snakes being
offered on the market. The answer
follows, for the reason that fashion
dictates all things, from our birth to
our death, and as yet snakes are inter-
dicted for food, to Americans, at least.
Frenchmen are generally credited
with knowing a good thing" and
they practiced frog -eating for centuries
before other countries acknowledged
the delicacy of frogs legs. At last the
custom reached the United States and
was quite generally adopted, and the
term ''frog-eaters" was no longer con-
sidered opprobrious. Somewhat over
century ago there was a revolt on a
Virginia plantation because the slaves
were principally fed on diamond
backed terrapins, which could be Sc
cured at an expense of a dollar a cart
load. Now these terrapins bring from
forty dollars to sixty dollars dozen.
Snake flesh is white and tender. and
I doubt not is as good as that Of
any other cold looded animal.
There is no earthly reason to
douot it, and it would be un-
reasonable to dispute it. Prejudice
alone prevents our trying fried snakes
and the same prejudice keeps many
persons from eating nicely-coeked cells,
because they SO closely resemble
snakes. Let MS compare snakes and
cells, and we shall find that snakes. and,
in fact. all reptiles, including our IA
vorite green turtle and delicate frog,
are immea surab bly, above the cells and
MI other fishes in the scale OF animal
life
But. allowing that mammals, rep
tiles and clear down to the degenerate
fishes are all good because they are
verteorates. why do we not limit our
selves to this sub-kingdom. instead OF
dropping to the lower and serving I'D
crabs, Holsters and shrimps? But, not
content with this drop. we take anoth-
er plunge. and, going away. away below
the insects. we reach the clam and ovs-
ter, which we eat entire. and often in
raw state.
liz certain parts OF Europe snakes
are eaten by the lower class of people.
They are sold prepared at the markets
as hedge-eels. and are in considers bio
demand in southern France In many
parts of the uncivilized world the fesa
of serpents is eaten, and I've have il on
the authority OF well known travellers
aud explorers that, although not
the dish is in nowise unpaI
bic.
1t may be long time before the fash
ion generally adopts snakes as food. but
ii should DE borne in mind that we de-
scerd lower in the scale when we feed
on fish, ana iInmeasura bly, lower in our

Conference Notes.

The late Session of the Baltimore
Conference, NJ. E. Church South, at
Front Royal, was exceptionally a
most pleasant one. The weather was
unusually favorable for this season Of
the year, there was no question be-
fore the body that caused any serious
clashing of views and harmony pre-
vailed. The presiding officer, Bishop
Key, accepted the chair with bccom-
ing dignity, yet with suave of man.
ner and remark that captivated the
ministers, who installed him in their
hearts us most pleasant christian
gentleman, striving to do his duty
for the glory of the Master, and the
advancement of his kingdom. The
good people of Front Royal of every
denomination opened their hearts and
homes to entertain the members of the
body, and though numbering bnt 5000
in population, they did 1t in right
royal style. Great crowds attended
the sessions of the Conference, and
for the nonce the town was full of
strangers who came from far and
near to hear, see and enjoy this an
nnal gathering of ministers and lay
men. Randolph Macon Academy,
built within the past Is months at a
cost of $50, 600, is an imposing brick
structure, located on one of the sur
rounding hills to the south of the
town, is capable of accommodating
100 boarding pupils, is great &C.

of which it bears. The session of the
body vas slloTtPr Ivy one day than
usual, owing to the expedite of bust
ness by the President, and when at
last on Monday night the supreme
hour of closing came, it was n sub
lime sight, freighted with intense
interest-150 or more men about to
receive for another year their several
places of labor at the hands of one
man--their Bishop. in whose wisdom,
piety and impartialitY they trusted,

high position by the authority of
their church, and receiving their APP

decisions, as is sometimes the case.
Methodism it its economy is unique,
its growth and increase

its working is striking and commend
able, that every minister in healthy
has church and con-
gregation, and eyerv church and
congregation has a pastor-there is
meyer vacuum.
