SNAKES IN HER BODY.

Fanny Heard, colored girl, has
been causing some excitement recently
in Freedmanville, suburb of Wash
in gton City. A few days ago there be-
gan to appear in different parts OF the
girls body exact representations OF
snakes, lizards, turtles, sheep and tad
poles. The girl says she was "tricked
by a neighbor, who had a grudge
against her. She presents a most re-
markable appearance. On one oi her
arms there is an exact representation
of snake about foot and a-half long
1t looks exactly as if there was real
snake under the skin. All over her
body there were exact shapes OF tur-
ties. lizards and crabs. Drs. Hill and
Simpson, who were examining the glrl,
refused to give any opinion as to the
cause of the girls remarkable condi-
ton. The girl is rather cookbook
ing muIatto Of seventeen or eighteen
years of age, apparently little above
the average in intelligence. She has
been i'll for the past two or three weeks
She stated that when these queer signs
began to appear, her skin first turned
perfectly white, and is that color un-
til the shapes become well defined, and
then begins turning until it gets a good
deal darker than the other parts of
her body. The girl says that the wo-
man who coDjured her filed her full
of reptiles, and that she can plainly
feel them crawling around under her
skin when they first appear, and that
after they form they do not worry her
at all.

The sound awakened him as from a
trance, and he started so violently that
the sticks of wood fell from his arms.
Some strange emotion seized him at
the noise made by the falling wood.
He pulled his hat down over his
brows, gave one glance back over his
shoulder, scaled the fence and fed
wildly down the slope of the hill under
the thick shadows of the trees.
1t was long time before he could
convince himself that he was not pur-
sued. The rustling of the leaves be-
hind him lent wings to his feet. a
dozen times he felt Minervy's hand on
his coat collar, and he knew that if ii
were there he would have no choice
but to go back. Such time was never
made since the days of Tam O'Shan-
ter. Over fallen tree trunks, around
upturned roots, vaulting over gullies,
dodging low hanging limbs, dragging
himself free from the embrace of too
affectionate briars, away he went down
the hill, pursued by the avenging shad-
ow of Minervy.
At the foot of the slope, where the
hill and valley met, he emerged into
the road. 1t was quite dark, and the
fear of pursuit haunted him no longer
that is, not to any great extent. He
didn't run now; he only walked rap
idly. He carried his hat in his hand,
and mopped his perspiring brow with
his handkerchief, and remarked in an
amazed undertone:
"By Ned"

FORGETFULNEss.

In the toll of the day, in the dreams OF the
night,
In the golden glow when the sun goes down,
In the morning sunbeams shining bright.
One thought like phantom follows me;
And over the face OF the cold, gray lea,
The rustliDg leaflets. sere and brown,
Whisper a story OF sad regret,
And murmur softly. Forget, forget"
For the crosses that come IN this work-a-day
world
Cast a shadow dark DER the lives OF all,
And we sooner win that crown impearled
When we bravely bid our sorrows go,
Checking the hot tears ceaseless flow,
Cheering some heart that seems TO fall.
Ifthose who smile should frown and fret
This heart OF ours could never forget.
And it's wre ng in this life, which is short at
the BEST
To be grieving here, when there's work to
do;
For the soul that lives In the land OF rest
Is happier there than here In life,
And knows that for us in this worlds
great strife
'Tis better far If the tears are few;
And we know each night, when the sun
has set,
That 'twere better far to forgive and lor-
get.

Three Good Snake Stories.
A SURE CURE FOR SNAKE BITE.

u a
Turnersville, a village near the Blue
Ridge, in Warren county, Va, was
greatly excited on Saturday by the an
nouncement made by Wait Simons, an
old hermit mountaineer, that he could
cure snake-bites. Walking into the
village hotel, he deposited a soap-box
punctured with air-holes on the bar
room floor.
II will bet 500 TO chew of old
plug" he said to the assembled loung-
ers, "that l can cure any known case
spake-bite in ten minutes, bar none.
Nobody offered to bet and the old
man declared he would prove his claim
anyhow. First he demanded that a
cat be brought to him and bitten, to
prove that the snakes fangs had not
been extracted. This was done, and
the cat soon succumbed. Following
this unpleasant preliminary, Simons
took the larger of the reptiles from the
box, barred his right arm, and grasped
the snake in the middle of the body,
so that it could easily twist itself about
and strike. He hardly touched the
snake before it savagely attacked the
flesh barred so temptingly, and to the
horror Oft on lockers, struck Slmons
half dozen times.
Dropping the snake into the box
Simons took out its companion, and
deliberately held it up so that 1t could
strike his cheek. Then he lowered
the ugly head until on level with his
throat, when it promptly bit him un-
ner the chin. Letting the snake ex-
haust itself, Simons coolly tackled the
lid of the box on, and lighting his pipe,
awaited results. They were soon ap-
parent in the swellingof Simons throat
neck, face and arm.
Refusing all offers of whiskey ,simOnS
took some odd-shaped blocks OF white
wood from his pockets and laid them
carefully over the places where he had
been bitten.
Even while the crowd watched, the
swelling and discoloration began to DIS
appear, and in ten minutes time there
was not a trace left of the attacks oil
the snakes. Strangest ofall, the blocks,
which were of a porous appearance
and dotted with hundreds Of minute
spiral markings, showed no evidence OF
having absorbed the venom, and were
as white and clean as before using.
Simons says the markings are pieces
of a plant pasted securely on the block
He refused to reveal its character. lie
has sold several hundred Of the blocks
at high prices.

of wealthy parents, who reside in q
magnificent home on the Suwannee
River, near Lake City, Florida. She
is an accomplished violinist, and for Elk
months has been accustomed TO SIT on

the rock has been disclosed. While

music had an uncanny sound, and Mr..
Brown rode to the rock. There be
found his daughter playing her violin,

The snakes were IN a state OF ecstasy.
Wilder grew the music. and some Of the

u Broke the Engagement.

James Calkins is the son Of a well.
known farmer, who lives about n.ne
miles from Brooksville. KY. He was
engaged to marry Miss Mary Calder,
daughter of neighbor. Their mar
riage was to take place next month
About week ago Cslkins drove over
TO see his sweetheart, He hitched his
horse and started up the walk to the
front door. Near the veranda stood
the girl, but ut the same time big
mastiff suddenly rushed at him. Calk-
ms sought refuge in an apple tree,
where he was held at bay by the dog.
The girl, overcome by the ludlcrous as
pect of the situation, laughed. Calk-
ins, annoyed and angry, called to have
the dog driven away, but the young
woman could not stop laughing to do
IT, and then the lover became incensed.
Finally the dog was led away by the
girls mother, and Calkins came down
from his perch. He departed without
speakingto the girl. She wrote let
ter of apology to him, but he refused
to accept it, claiming that the dog had
been purposely set upon him. Calkins
demands $500 damages.

A Message As,ray.


A young lady organist in Montreal
was anxious TO make good impression
on visiting clergyman one Sunday.
Her organ was pumped by some.
what self-willed old sexton, who had
his own ideas as to how long an organ
voluntary should last, and would
"shut off the wind" when he thought
there had been enough.
On this particular Sunday the or
ganist thought she would forestall any
such accident by writing an appeal to
the sexton. The old man received the
note, and supposed it was for the min
lister. In spite Of her frantic beckon-
ings, he went straight TO the pulpit
with the note; and the astonished
preacher read this message:
"Oblige me this morning BY blow
ing away till | give you the signal to
stop. Miss ELLEN"

gradually slipped from the rock and
disappeared in their den. Mr.. Brown
was horri6ed when his daughter told
him that for six months she had played
to the snakes. Miss Ruth says every
afternoon she feels such longing to
have the snakes about her that she can
not resist, and that she would rather
die than surrender the privilege. While
playing to the snakes that surround
her, she says she is unconscious OF oc-
currences beyond the reptilian circle.
Miss Brown is well-known in social
circles IN Florida.
