Effects Of Fear.


A man connected with'a travelling mon
agerie was sleeping on some blankets on
the floor Of tent, when something crawl
ing over his breast aroused him. Spring
ing up he threw off the creature, which
proved TO be huge rattesnake. AS be
struck 1T he felt the pick of its fangs in
his arm, and with howl of pain and ter
ror bounded from the tent and shouted
for help, whisky, a doctor, or some medi-
cine.
There CHANGED to be nothing available
within reach, and his fellows stood
around, with scared faces, waiting for
him to die, which he appeared likely to
do in a very short time. The arm began
to swell, and the poor victim was soon
gasping for breath and grooming with
almost intolerable pain. At last, just as
the breath seemed about to leave his
body, some one among the wagons shout
ed out that ono Of the pet snakes had
escaped. 1t was AN enormous rattler, but
harmless, as the fangs had been removed
The reptile was found dead under one side
Of the tent, where the man had flung it.
The bite proved to be the prick from a
sharp tack in the canvas of the tent. In
an hour the man was as well as ever, save
for weakness caused by the nervous ex
element. 1t was the opinion Of all who
witnessed the incident that but for the
timely disabuse of the mans mind he
would have been dead within few
minutes, the victim Of nervous dread and
terror. Chicago Times.

A Remarkably Fine Nose.

A good story is told OF well-known
actor who, in n piece in which he was
playing ION tour" had to "make up" HE
nose to rather large proportions. He
generally used special paste for this
purpose; but at one place, falling short
Of paste, ho sent a boy out ut the last
moment to buy some -four. He used this
in the form of stiff dough- painted it to
suit his purpose and went on the stage in
due course. Presently the nose began to
grow aud swell. Seeing moment when
he was not required behind the footlights,
the actor rushed to his dressing room,
tore off the superhuity of nose, again
"made upn the rest and returned to the
stage. But, still the nose grew, and it
was not until the play was ended that the
victim had leisure to read the inscription
ON the paper in which the material for
his marvellous nose had been brought
to him. Then for the first time he saw
the words, "Self raising flour. Requires
no yeast or baking powder. Mix with a
| little cold water and set IN a warm place
and in short time the dough will rist
and be ready for baking Exchange.

st. Landry and Acadia should express
its preference for one of the many can
didates for Congress, and when agreed
upon, use all mean to secure his nom
ination and election, which cannot be a
matter of much difficulty considering
that the vote Of these two parishes in
the convention will aggregate one-third
Of the whole. Acadia has already
chosen Hon. P. j. Chappuis as her can
didate for Congress, and he will receive
the united support of the democracy Of
that parish, and inasmuch as st. Lam
dry's interests are SO strongly identified
with those of Acadia, Mr.. Chappuis
should be the choice Of the democracy
of st. Landry. He is a lawyer Of abilitN

Washington Letter.
Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 90. 1894.
President Cleveland will not, accord.
ing TO those who ought to know, def.
nitely decide what action he will take
on the tariff bill until he returns from
Gray Gables, whittier he was driven
by a troublesome attack of malaria; but
that only relates to details, as it is re.
garded as fully settled that the bill
shall become a law. In fact, certified
copies OF the bill are now on the way to
every collector of customs, so that when
it becomes u law it will only be neces-
sary to telegraph the collectors to have
it put right into effect. The President
will return this week.
In some quarters there is a disposition
to believe that the Murphy resolution,
against further consideration of tariff
legislation, which was adopted by a
vote Of ~ to 16-a bare quorum-by the
Senate, may be the cause of the tariff
bill being vetoed. 1t is, of course, we'll.
known that President Cleveland is
much Interested in the. separate bills
placing coal, iron ore and barbed wire
on the free list, and desires to see them
known that the Murphy resolution was
intended to kill those bills for the
present session. 1t was stated when
the House democratic caucus which
resulted in the passage of the Senate
Tariff bill was in session that the
democratic steering committee of
the Senate had given q pledge that
these separate bills, and that providing
for free sugar, should be voted upon BY
the Senate before adjournment, if the
House would accept the Senate amend
ments to the Wilson bill, and it is be-
lleved that without that pledge the
House would not have acted. These
things were all known to Mr.. Cleveland,
but those whose opinions would carry
weight will not at this time express
them, az to what, if any, effect the Sem
ate resolution may have on the fate of
the tariff bill.
An official statement made by the dis
bursting clerk of the Department Of
Agriculture shows that the reduction in
the expenditures of that department
for the fiscal year ending June 3rd,
1894. was slightly in excess Of II per
cent, and that nearly $780, 900 of the
annua! appropriation made for the de-
partment was unexpended and would
be covered back into the Treasury.
That's the kind of a democrat Secre-
tary Morton is. In this connection it is
well to call attention to another official
fact calculated to impress people with
the idea that the democrats in Con-
gress are living up to the party pledges
OF economy in public expenditure, if
they havn't gone as far in some other
direction as they might have gone.
The total amount appropriated at this
session Of Congress, according to the
1gures OF Chairman Savers, of the
House appropriation committee, is
$2S,635,989 less than the total appropria-
tions made at the last session of Con
gress. In other words, the government
has been saved just that much.
1t is doubtful whether an President
ever enjoyed closer relations with his
Secretary of the Treasury than Mr..
Cleveland does with Mr.. Carlisle, and
talk OF GOODNESS between them is
not deserving anyone's serious
cO~nsidaration.
