The European Viper.

Many persons are killed by vipers on
the continent; but though Pclias berus
is widely distributed over Europe and is
generally known distinctively as the lit
tie viper" the prevalent and most dan
gerous species are the long nosed and asp
vipers. Matthiole relates an instance of
a man who was fatally bitten by half a
snake in France. An adder had been sew
cred in twain with a hoe, and he unfortu-
nately picked up the business end. Such
an occurrence is quite within the bounds
of credibility. l have seen q wretched
python which had been cut in two by a
sweep Of q cooly's cutlass launch itself
furiously at tho man who was preparing
to give it the coup de grace and tear tho
torch from his hands.
Domestic animals are not infrequertly
attacked but rarely succumb to the poi

ten dog repeatedly plunges its head under
water to assuage the fierce heat of the in
fammatory symptoms, but generally re-
covers. Human beings and monkeys suf-
fer far moro intensely than do creatures

"a Prominent Intellectual Part.n

They are rchearsing Mr. Hoyt's new
play, "A Black Sheep" at the Madison
Square theatcr, New York. A lively young
miss, who was engaged and was promised
prominent intellectual part in the play,
got her lines and took them home to study
them.
The next day, with her hair awry and
her cheeks blazing she sought Mr.. Hoyt
in his sanctum.
II thought you promised me 'promi-
nent intellectual part!' said the young
woman to the playwright.
"Well," said Mr.. Hoyt, arching his eye
brows interrogatiyely, that's what you We
got''
"Oh, it is!'' said the young woman,
trying to be sarcastic. Just read this. -
Then she pointed to her part. ''On such
and such a line you come in. '.After this
line, by such and such one, you go off. -
where is the prominent intellectual
part about this?" she said in wearied
tones.
''Why, my dear" said Mr.. Hoyt placat-
ingly, that's the best thinking part in
the whole play. 1 know, because 1 wrote
it myself" Then he fled the apartment.
Strangely enough, the young woman has
not yet resigned.

cially the latter, as he took 1873 wickets
during the season.
In 1898 he again won the Spalding bowl
ing competition and was second in batting,
with the good average of 23. AZ. This year
he has forsaken Chicago for the east, where
he is playing with the New Jersey Ath-
letic club His fame as the finest bowler
Of the west had preceded him, and his
performances are being followed with keen
interest by cricketers. Nor has he disap-
pointed his admirers, for besides doing
great execution among tho batsmen of the
Metropolitan league he is one Of the most
dangerous aspirants for the league batting
average. Kelly bowls a medium left hand
ball with break from the leg side, with
an occasional fast one, and is above all a
bowler with excellent Judgment. He is a
good free bat, hitting hard all round the
wicket, and Furnishes any loose balls He
is a good field in any position, throwing in
hard and clean.
Besides being good all round cricketer
Kelly is a first class player at association
football. He organized the Chicago Foot
bail club, one of the best association teams
in this country, as their record of 26 games
played without defeat easily proves.
Kelly was born in Cananore India, ON
the Malabar coast, and is the son of Colo
mel +. j. Kelly of the British army.

CnUrcl, Wealth.

Tho wealthiest denomination in the
United States, if we estimate denomina-
tional wealth according to the average
value of the church cdificcs and sites, is the
Jewish. The next is the Unitarian, the
third Is the Reformed (Dutch) and the
fourth the Protestant Episcopal. The aver
age value of the churches of Reformed
Jews is s3S, $3.50; Of the Unitarian, s24, =
725; of the Reformed Dutch), $40, 1897,
and of the Protestant Episcopal, SIG, So
Tho Episcopal church is, however, much
more widely distributed than any of the
other bodies named. The Jews are almost
entirely in the cities, and the Reformed
Jews also are largely so, but the Episco-
palians are found not only in all tho larger
cities, but are represented in all the states
and territories. This fact adds to the
significance of the high average value re-
ported for its churches. Its ministers,
like those Of the Presbyterian church, are
well cared for. 1t makes no separate re-
turn for ministerial salaries.-Forum

EARLY CIRCULATING uI5RARIES.



is.cucc Tor Hundreds of Years.
From time imncmorial booksellers
shops have been the favoritc resort of all
touched with the love of letters, and in
the days gone by, when the art of adver.
Using WINS practically unknown, it was
only By froquenting the shops where books
were sold chat possible purchasers were
able to learn what was going on in tho
publishing world, to know what new books
were in course of publication and to hear
and exchange the latost literary gossip.
These early book lovers, one may be quite
sure, would be certain to while away many
leisure hour by "sampling" the wares
on their hosts counters, and would read,
or at least dip into, many volumes besides
those they actually purchased for more
leisurely consumption at home.
And hence might arise, very naturally,
the custom of formally lending out books
to read for monetary consideration.
Thus, at the end of Kirkman's ''Thracian
Wonder" published in 1861 the bookshelf
er makes the following announcement:
If any gentlemen please to repair to my
house aforesaid, they may be furnished
with all manner Of English OF French his
tories, romances or poetry, which are to be
Sold or read Tor reasonable consideration.
1t is not quite clear from the last few
words whether the books might be taken
away to be read, or whether the reading
was to be done in the booksellers shop.
But that books might be taken homo is
evident from the remark of character in
Nevile's Poor Scholar" printed in 1862.
step to booksellers" he says, land
give him this angel, which I'll lend you,
for the use of the many languaged Bibles
lately publish't for q week. Their price
Is fl2. When you have got them to your
study, invite your father to your chamber,
show him your library and tell him you
arc e12 out of purse for those large vol
umcs"
This was an ingenious way of getting
around the relieving officer" but it Is
doubtful, after all, whether the lending
system was put into practice to any great
extent.-All the Year Round.

gilistic glory. He had defeated Slade,
the Maori; Bill Slavin and Jim Hall before
coming here, but had no reputation to
speak of. Soon after he landed in Fris-
co, however, he proved himself promis-
ing two handed fighter by whipping Billy
Mccarthy in nine rounds and Arthur Up
ham in five. He was then matched to
fight Jack Dempsey for the middleweight
championship of the world and $l2, 600.
He easily bested the champion in Is rounds
at New Orleans, Jan. IA, 1891 Since then
he has defeated Peter Maher, Jim Hall
and Joe Choynski with comparative ease,
although Choynski had him nearly cut
during their battle in Boston recently.
Fitzsimmons is blacksmith by trade.
He was born in Cornwall England 80
years ago and is 6 feet 4 inch tall. When
he fought Jim Hall for $4O,O in New
Orleans March 8, 1898, he weighed 165
pounds and won the big purse in Is min
utes, but failed to get all the money. He
is just Corbett's height and would weigh
about 10 pounds less than Corbett in the
ring. A meeting between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons would attract as much at
tention in sporting circles as the long de-
layed battle between Corbett and jackson.

BEAUTY IS NO INHERITANCE.
Cosmetics do not beauty, B,

Cosmetics do not bsautify, but
often destroy a healthy complex
ion. A natural rosy and healthy
complexion cannot be had by the
use Of cosmetics, but only through
the health of the body in general.
sNotMng is better to secure this
result than the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt when taken
early in the morning, before
breakfast (about small teaspoon
full dissolved in a tumblerful of
water). 1t clears the complexion
and produces healthy color.
Best taken when outdoor exer-
else can be had. Obtain the

AntiauitY of Wire.

The manufacture Of wire is of very an.
Gent origin. 1t has been traced back to
the earliest Egyptian history. Specimens
are in existence which can be proved to
date to 100 B. C.. The Kensington mu-
scum has a specimen which was made in
Minera 800 years b. G.. Ancient literature
contains many references to wire. From
the ruins Of Herculaneum metal heads
have been exhumed on which the hair is
represented by wire There is no question
that this ancient wire was made by ham,
mering out the metal, which was always
bronze OF of the precious group. This held
true of all made previous to the fourteenth
century, during which the process Of form
ing wire by drawing or elongating the
metal by forcing it through conical orr
flee, made in some substance harder than
the metal treated, was invented. Gas.

A LIVING NET.
Peculiar Method Of Fishing INDUCED In by
Natives of Oceanica Islands.

Peculiar Method Of Fishing INDUCED In by
Natives of Oceanica Islands.
A peculiar method of fishing is in
dulged in by the natives Of Tetuila, one
of the islands of Oceanica. At given sig
nal the Inhabitants of the village assemble
on the seashore, to the number of about
900 persons, each of whom carries branch
of cocoa PALM With these in their hands
they plunge into the water, and at a GER
tain distance from the shore turn toward
it, forming a compact half circle, each
one holding his palm branch perpendicu-
larly in the water, and thus forming a
sieve.
Tho leader of the party then gives sig
nal, and this living net approaches the
shore gradually in perfect order, driving
before it multitude of fishes. Surround
ed by this living wall and entangled in the
cocoa palm branches many of the fishes
arc cast on the sand by the waves, while
others are killed with sticks. After being
cooked over hot Goals the fish are served

The scene as described by Frenchman
who recently visited the island was inter

gardenias or red hibiscus arc worn on
their heads, also round their necks.-Phil-
