Charming Il Rather.

Paul Keistcr is California musi-
clan of considerable local fame, aud
his services nro in great demand in
the rural districts. Not long ago ho
gave II violin solo under remarkable
circumstances. He was wending his
way toward IL certain farm house, along
mountain trail that led through II
deep canyon. At ono point the path,
which is cut into tho mountain side,
winds around II sharp spur, and is
very narrow. The musician was
sauntering loisurely along, and had
reached this point when his attention
was Attracted by tho warning noise of
rattlcsnakc. and, looking up, he saw
formidable RATHER directly in his
path. He promptly took to his heels,
but had taken but step or two when.
from tho weeds by tho side of the
path. another rattler rose up. There
was not room enough to pass the snake
without running the risk of being bit
ten, and the frightened musician
backed up against the ledge that hung
above him and eyed the reptiles. Es-
cape was impossible, and he was pom
dering over the dire fact when it sud.
denly occurred to him that he had
read of magicians in India charming
snakes with music. Drawing his vio-
lin from its box, lie began to play, and
almost instantly it had the desired
effect. The snnkcs gradually uncoiled,
and, stretching themselves out in tho
path, glided slowly toward tho must
clan. Tho move was anything but
pleasing, but ho kept saving away.
Closer and closer came the snakes, and
fnstcr and faster flew the bow over
tue strings. AT last they reached n
point within two feet OF tho terrified
fiddler, and, winding themselves up,
lifted their heads closely together.
AT this point the musicians nerves
gave way, mud, with n yell, he grabbed
his fiddle by the neck and brought it
down with crushing force OH the heads
of the snakes. The blow stunned
them. and. before they could recover,
Keiter killed them with rock. The
violin was knocked out of shape, but
the violinist hal saved his life. At

to geta free flow of oil; tho wick,
therefore, should be held to the fire

By this means it will quickly absorb

this prevents smoking. In somo oils

to be carefully borne in mind is that
