A Queer Horned Snake.

Some time during the first or secon
week OF Juno OF the present year, thi
children of Mr.. Sol Benson IA well
known farmer who lives seven mile,
north of Knoxville, Iowa, and whosa
postoffice address is at the above named
place. came homo from school and
made the startling announcement thai
their teacher had killed a snake with
forked tail. Sol does hot claim to be
cup" in ''snakeology," but he says it
struck him that this particular ophid-
ian must be "curiously and wonder.
o,,sly formed" to say the least, yet he
did not take sufficient interest in the
matter to walk over to where the
plucky "school marin" had dispatched
the monstrosity to make an examina.
ton of its bind candal termination.
The next morning, however, he was
riding past the place with one of his
sons who was present when the creatur,
had met the school teacher and the AK,
and concluded to take a lesson in de!
formed herpetology. Arriving at thl
place he found to his great surprise
snake four feet eight inches in length
with a perfectly formed horn on tho
end of its tail. Closer examination
disclosed the remarkable fact that this
horn was spit from base to point, and
that it would open like the beak of
birdl 1t had probl5ly been open
when the children examined it the day
before, which caused them to infer it
was a fork-tailed snake.-St. Louis

How a Beaver Chops Down a Tree.

Examination of one of them re-
vealed the secret of how beaver can
perform such feats as chopping down
a birch tree sixteen inches in diameter.
not to speak of softer woods, like the
Eastwood, of much greater size. The
tooth is composed of two materials
Along the outer face or front of the
tooth is thin plate of exceeding hard
enamel; on the latter, forming the
body of the tooth, is a substance called
dentine. The dentine, being softer,
wears away with use; the thin enamel
remains comparatively unworn, SO
that the tooth assumes the shape of q
keen chisel that never grows dull. The
tooth is hollow ut the base for half its
length, and is filled with u nourishiny ?
substance which keeps it constantly
growing. Thus, not only is the natu-
raj wearing away provided against, but
certain amount of wear becomes an
actual necessity. With such instru-
ments the beaver is admirably fitted
for obtaining its natural food, the bark
of shrubs and trees.-New York Tele-
gram.

The Great Bed OF Ware.

1t was huge bedstead, mentioned
by shaspeare in Twelfth Night, act 8.
scene 2, line 81. According to tradi.
Eion, it is still preserved at the Sara
Gems Head Inn, in Ware, a town about
twenty miles from London (mentioned
also in Cowper's "John Gilpin" as the
place of residence of the calender from
whom Gilpin borrowed the horse.) The
bed is reported variously to have been
10 feet 9 inches square, and ~ feet
square, and to have been z feet {; inches
"high," whether that means that the
mattress was more than z feet from
the floor we do not know. Twelve
persons could rest in it at once-one
historian says that twenty-four could
do so. The existing bed is said
TO be IL feet square; it is of carved oak,
and bears the date of l4Os painted on
it, though the carving is Elizabethan
in style. 1t is said to have belonged
to Warwick, the King Maker, but thi.
tradition is not supported by facts.

A Clerks Huse.

He was hard up and needed a situa-
ton. He knew nothing about the dry
goods business beyond what he had
learned while shopping with his sister,
but he answered an advertisement for
q competent salesman and secured a
situation under one of the closest and
hardest dealers in this city. AS soon
rs he took his place fellow clerk in-
formed him that the proprietor would
watch him, and if he failed to make a
sale to one of the first three customers
he waited on, he could expect his dis
charge.
He tore down everything on the
shelves for the first lady, who didn't
want anything in particular, but made
no sale. He observed that the pro-
prietor's eye was on him and as thu
lady left "Old Skinhin.," as he was
termed, stepped up and asked her if
she could find nothing to suit her.
The next customer bought nothing,
and she too was interrgoated by the
proprietor. The third was leaving tho
counter without purchase when the
clerk called her back and whispered in
confidential way.
'See that man with gray hair?" in
dicating the proprietor. "Wen, he will
speak to you as you go out. He is on
the verge of the delirium tremens, so
as soon as he approaches make dash
at him as if you intended to scratch
his eyes out. He is afraid Of a scratch
ing woman and will run. Then you
can skip out"
The terrified woman followed instruc-
tions and threw in hySbrical scream.
The proprietor made his escape to the
new clerks counter and inquired:
"What was the matter with that wo-
mani"
"Crazy as bedbug. Made me tear
down everything and then wanted to
buy kitchen stove"
The ruse saved him his situation. for
the next customer wss a prospective
bride, who bought her whole outfit of

To Graft Arma-

Il Is said that Theodore Lee, . wel1.
to-do, though armless, man of Tacoma;
Washington, is encouraged to hope
that his missing member may be re-
placed by arms, not wooden, or cork.
or rubber substitutes, but real arms ol
flesh and blood and bone. He has been
going about among the surgeons of th.l
East, and they think that if he can
persuade some criminal condemned to
death to sell him a pair of healthy
arms they might succeed in grating
them to him. As to the method Of
grating an arm, Mr.. Lee has been in.
formed that the splice would have to
be made Just above the elbow joint,
where there are practically only two
muscles. one main artery, and only one
nerve. When Mr.. Lee has found per.
son who will submit to the operation
they will have to be brought together
in such a position as to permit of the
arms of both, which are to be operated
upon, being placed in plaster casts, SO
that they cannot be moved. Then it
is proposed to cut the back part of
both the arms, also cutting through
the bone. The arm that is to be
grated to Mr.. Lees stump, or that
portion of it that is cut away at the
first operation, is to be adjusted and
fastened to the stump and allowed to
remain until it heals, and there is
evidence of circulation between the
stump and the part that is grated on.
The second operation will be the cut
ting of the remainder of the inside
portion of the arm, together with the
artery and the nerve. This operation,
is not to be undertaken until
the surgeons are satisfied that the cir
through the part of the arm
grated on is sufficient to nourish and
support the new forearm. This would
be ascsrtained by placing ligament
on tho arm of the person who was con-
tributing the new member above the
elbow and shutting off the blood which
was flowing through the artery into his
own arm through that portion that was
not already cut of. Mr.. Lee is now
looking for somebody with healthy
pair of ans to sell. New Orleans Pic
