The Kentucky Kind OF Woman.

Mrs. w. e. McPhearson, wife of our
town marshal, was passing the skirt of
a wood few days ago and was con-
fronted by rattlesnake Immediately in
her pathway. His snakeship instructive
ly gave the usual signal warning with
his rattles, coiled himself up and ele-
waited his head preparatory to battle.
The brave little woman, instead of
screaming like wildcat and fainting
away, as many women do when they
see a mouse on the floor, seized the first
weapon she could lay her hands On and
opened the battle and soon dispatched
the brute. She then deliberately took
out her pocketknife, and as dexterously
as skilled hunter would skin a deer
took off his hide and brought it home
with her and stuffed it with bran, and
now has it ON exhibition at her resi-
dence. The snake was of the yellow spe-
cies, measured nearly feet in length
and had nine rattles and button.

Sherman's Service.

The Ohio senator is three years older
than Webster was when he made his
last notable oratorical effort, the ''sev-
enth of March" speech. and is three
months older than the great expounder
was at his death. He is more than three
years older than was Calhoun when the
great South Carolinian addressed the
senate for the last time. Clay was the
oldest of the great triumvirate, but
when he spoke to the senate for the last
time his age was only two years greater
than Sherman's.
Undoubtedly Sherman will beat this
record. ft is now almost 40 years since
the distinguished Ohioan was first
chosen to congress, and his present term
extends nearly five years longer. He has
been in public Office more years than
Clay, although the latter's career from
his first entrance into political life until
his exit, counting the different periods
in which he was in retirement, covered
longer time than Sherman's servioe.-

been praotioing their horses in large

along the river bank and kept up a
steady fire to protect the passage of the
other squadron, who placed all their
arms, aocouterments and clothes In
large country boats and conducted their
horses into the water. Some horses
seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves
in the water; others became unmanage-
able from fear. However, the opposite
bank was reached and warpaint re-
spmed. and the squadron was with most

What L. the CAusef

A young woman who II not aspiritu-
alist looked up the other day to see the
photograph Of deceased friend on the
mantelpiece oscillating to and fro. At
first she thought the motion was caused
by the wind, hut it continued with such
absolute regularity that she finally rose
and closed doors and windows. which
made not the slightest difference. After
an hour or two the picture ceased Vi
brating, and lamp and a pile Of books
ON table took up the same motion and
kept it up all day and all the next day.
Since then, q week ago, the looking
glass attached to her bureau has swayed
slightly at intervals The movement Is
slight, but sufficient to be plainly seen,
and in the case of the mirror the objects
reflected seem to dance slightly up and
down as q consequence Of its motion.
The house and street ON which il is sit
uated in a suburban town were abso-
lutely quiet when the movements began,
and there was no visible nor conjectur-
able cause for the phenomena, and the
young woman argues, not unreasona-
bly,, that there is no conjecturable reason
for spirit to jiggle the furniture. But
the facts remain, and facts are stubborn
things. s.-Philadelphia Press.

Adiathernano.s Glass.

A German scientific journal glves
some interesting data on experiments
in the production OF glass transparent
to light, but opaque to heat. After O
series Of experiments With aluinina, ut.
tentiOn was directed to The use of iron
salts. A sheet of glass o. inch thick,
containing % per cent of iron us ferrous
chloride, allowed only 400 per cent Oi
radiant heat to pass through, while one
containing the sumo quantity of iron
us farric chloride allowed 11.2 per cent
to pass. thus acting little better than
water. Next, samples of glass were
prepared, one containing per cent Of
iron oxide. the second two, and the
third 4 per cent. All were reduced ~
far rs possible, so as to bring the iron
to the ferrous condition. This point
was reached In the first of the three,
The color was faint blue. something
like weak copper oxide blue; the 9th.
er two were bottle-greenish. 1t seems,
therefore, that pure ferrous silicate,
without ferric, gives very pale, pure
color, different from the ordinary color
produced by iron In glass. This glass,
in layers 1852 Of an inch thick, allowed
only o. per cent Of the heat from O
batswing burner. O.72 per cent Of that
from an argand burner. or O.73 per cent
Of that from a lime light, to pass
through it; but 1t let through about Il
per cent of the heat of sunlight, while
ordinary glass let through about SO per
cent. Tho new glass can thus he uae,l
for lamp shades. etc. and in all prOba.
bility will be largely employed In dec.
Orative effects in electric lighting. Ita
faint blue tint IL not unpleasant, but
some method Of making 1t cOlOrless
will doubtless soon be discovered.
