Englands Poisonous Snakes.

There are 1900 different species of
snakes known to naturalists. and only
four kinds of snake or snakelike crea-
lures are to be found in England. OF
these but one is poisonous, and it is very
rare. The ordinary snakes to be found
in countries inhabited by civilized man
are harmless, and but few of the poison
GUS snakes are deadly in their poison.
even though the effects may be serious.
A study Of snakes and their ways would
do much to do away with the educated
fear Of the reptiles that most people
have. --Livnrpool Mercury.

Where Kauri Gum Is Found.

Kauri gum is formed of the turpentine that has exuded from the kauri tree, a species of pine which is the finest and for general purposes the most useful forest tree in New Zealand. Thirty years ago the Maoris were the only peo- pie who employed themselves in search ing for this gum, which at that time was to be found on or cropping out of the surface of the ground, where perhaps ages before forests of kauri had stood.
 After a few years exports the Maoris began to dig for the gum few inches below the surface. As the uses for it in- creased, its market value rose, and pres ently Europeans betook themselves to digging for it, until at the present time there are probably 4,O0O whites and ,OO0 Maoris engaged in the work in the Auck- land provincial district, where alone the gum is to be found. Hence the output has steadily increased during the last thirty years, notwithstanding that the gum is not being reproduced, except to 8 very inappreciable extent, in the exist ing forests, and these are being rapidly cut down because of the commercial value of the timber.
 Within a measurable period of time the production of the gum must cease, although it is expected that at the pres ent rate it will take 50 years to exhaust the deposits in the Auckland district. In some places gum bearing land has been purchased from tho crown for settlement purposes, and the gum unearthed in blowing it has been sold for enough to pay the purchase money of the land and for blowing, fencing and sowing it as well.-London Times.

THE withdrawal of Richard Croker from t,Ie lt tadership of the Tammany hall organ ization is a notable event in New York pol itics. Mir Croker has been in the Tam many harness for twenty-five years. He came up from an humble worker in the ranks, not by selfish efforts for his own advancement, but because he was found faithful in little things greater duties were forced upon him. The leadership was forced upon him in 1886, after the death of John Kelly, and he has led the party to victory in every campaign since then. Now he is retiring of his own free will, and against the protests ot the members of the organization. The man who is lt ader in Tammany hall stands ''in the fierce light that beats upon a throne" Many unkind things have been said of MT Croker during the eight years of his in leadership, but his personal honesty has never been successfully assailed. Now that he has put himself back in the ranks, it will be difficult for the great organization to find a man who will corduct their campaigns with such ability and success, and use the mighty power of patronage in his hands with so much discretion

A Eam0uS Fire ReScue.

In the forenoon of Jan. 31, 1882, the old building at Park row and Beekman street caught fire. The 6-story building had only one stairway and was filled with people. The building being old and dry, the flame spread rapidly, and many people found terrible death Just as it seemed that no human being could escape death three men were seen in an upper window The fremen quickly brought ladders, but the longest reached only half the distance In the crowd a colored bootblack, Charles Wright, saw that fastened to the roof of the Elilding. just above the window where the men were, was a telegraph wire, and that this wire ran across the street to the top of 6 telegraph pole in City Hall park.
 He saw that if the wire was cut in the park it would fall right across the win dow, so that the men could descend by it. In an instant he seized freman's $ wrench that lay near by, ran across the street and began to climb the tall, smooth telegraph pole. It was not easy i'll the wind and snow, but by hard climbing Wright soon reached the crossbars. Quickly lie twisted the wire rope off. Down it fell, right across the window! The crowd shouted for joy as one after another the three men came down in safety. For 9 moment only the boy was forgotten. It was not long before every one had heard of Charles Wright, the boy who saved three lives.-Cor. New York Press.

CAME TO LIFE.
An Affecting Scene of Tragedy Broken
 Up by inc Principal Character.

An Affecting Scenc of Tragedy Broken
 Up by the Principal Character.
 Many amusing incidents are recorded of the Imaginable blunders caused by doubling parts. Among them is a story of George Powell, an old English actor, who was among the great men of the stage in TOO. The play was Rowe's "Fair Penitent," in which the naughty, gallant, gay LothariJ .s slain at the close of the fourth act, but his corpse figures prominently in the concluding scene. The stage directions provide for room hung with black, with Lothario's body upon bier standing on one side of the stage, on the other side table with a skull, book and lamp. Calista is discov- cred on a couch in the back In this, as in similar cases, it was clearly unneces- sary for the impersonator of the lively Lothario of the fourth act to represent his dead body in the fifth It was usual, therefore, to allow the actors dresser to perform this delightful duty. Now, MT. Powells dresser was rather timid young man by the name of Warren, and on the occasion recorded was lying on the bier waiting for the curtain to go down on the fifth act.
 Powell, forgetful that his attendant was employed in impersonating the corpse of Lothario. was impatient to be gone and called loudly for his dresser He was very passionate man and when enraged quite violent. He opened his door and called for Warren and threat ened him with the severest of punish ments if he did not immediately come to his assistance.
 The unhappy dresser could not help overhearing his raging master, yet for some time his fears were surmounted by his sense of dramatic propriety. He tremblingly longed for the fall of the curtain. Powell threatened to break every bone in his skin, which threat he, in his dresser's opinion, was man quite likely to carry out. The situation finally became unbearable, and. with cry "Here am, master" Warren sprang up. clothed in the sable draperies which were fastened to the handle of his bier.
 The house roared with surprise and laughter as the dead Lothario, encum. bered with his charnel house trappings. fled from the stage. The play, of course. ended abruptly, and for once the somber tragedy of the "Fair Penitent" had mirthful conclusion.-NewY York Herald.

HOW TO CARE FOR MATTRESSES.


They Should Be Covered and Frequently
 Turned.
 Cover the springs always with stout unbleached muslin ' Some claim that it is almost impossible to keep the springs we'll dusted when covered, and the only answer to this is to cover the mattresses. Then, when it is removed, the springs may be dusted as usual. Make the cover so that it can be removed easily and washed when desired. In making GOV CT of this kind leaveone side open to ad- init the mattress; then fasten it to- gether with buttons and buttonholes. If the cover of unbleached muslin seems too light for this purpose, use instead a thin grade of ticking
 Mattresses will sometimes become spotted in places from dust or stain from moving Talel some clear warm water and add to it Q few drops of am monia, just enough to make the water feel smooth; then with a clean cloth wash the spot, using some good soap, rinse in clean water and rub well with dry cloth. Do not use much water, but just enough to iampen the spot. If the stain is obstinate, take clean cloth dipped in pure ammonia; rub hard; then rinse ill clean water and dry.
 Turn tho mattress frequently from side to side and from head to foot to in sure its wearing evenly. Mattresses sagged at one end is due to neglect in turning. They should be well aired each day and the dust removed from the top by brushing well with a small whisk broom
 It is not often advisable to attempt to make over an old mattress, yet it is claimed that nice cool summer beds may be made from some sorts. Old ex- celsior or palm leaf mattresses, for in stance, may have the contents emptied into new ticking after untying the knots, and when shaken smooth and even and again knotted it may be found very comfortable. Hair mattresses and all fine ones that are worth the expense should be sent away from home to be renovated. But when properly cared fo1 it is seldom that this will be necessary.
