of skins and .sloughs, the scales of which indicate that their original own CTS must hays boasted a magnitude equal to any of these"
 Mir. Stradling propounds the theory that the size of a snake is in direct pro- portion to the food supply. He does not mean by this that a garter snake provided with three square meals a day would assume the proportions of a boa constrictor, but simply that a snake which is well fed will outgrow another snake of the same kind which is ill fed The average snake is i'll fed he says and instances the common grass snake, which perhaps gets half a dozen frogs in the whole season. There fore he thinks that if he can get hold of a snake approXimating ten yards in length, he can by iudicious and fre- quent feeding bring it up to forty feet. At any ,rate is it worth trying, with E10,000 in prospect.
 If the reward that begins at f1 900 for thirty feet and increases to f10,0O for forty feet of serpent continues, at like rate a brilliant fortune will re- ward the capture of any one of the many sea serpents seem roaming about. For instance, the Norwegian specimen, for the capture of which a company was recently organized, should bring up- ward of a million dollars, according to the estimates of its observers, Accord ing to Mir Stradling, these estimates were probably underestimates. He says:
 Most curiously, a live snake is the only animal whose length is apt to be under rather than over estimated by the eye, for the reason that it is never seen extended in a straight line during life. It is absolutely impossible to ob- tain even an approximation to it's cor rect dimensions by the application of a measuring tape or foot rule to living l specimen; some idea may be gained by watching its progress along an angle formed by two walls, or by making a slight deduction from it's cast skin, If the latter be whole; but an adult ser pent rarely if ever, sheds a perfect slough I find that visitors invariably minify, instead of exaggerattng, in their niscalcula tions of the reptiles in my | cages, a serpent of ten feet being set down as no more than six or seven while a newly matched colubrine, ir reality seven or eight inches long, ap. pears even less than half as much"

as ever lived for long time, and ex- pected to die any time but thanks to Dr. Greene's wonderful medicine l am greatly improved.
 Now all my bloat is gone, and am as well of that as ever. My rheuma- tism is practically gone, and my stom- ach is sound and digests my food per fectly, and I sleep soundly. The doctor who treated me did me no good, and he said I would not live six months, l was in such bad order Other doctors said it was the most remarkable case they had ever known, to have me come up the way I did. My case is widely known.
 T can recommend Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy as the best medicine I ever saw or heard of, and I will cheerfully answer any in- quiries about my case, but for seven years I could not write my name, l was so trembly,"
 MT. IT. R. Kimball, druggist, of Hardwicl1, says T knew of Mr. Ma than G. Batchelders remarkable case, and the statement is true"
 It cures, quickly and permanently, rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney and liver disease, and makes good blood and strong nerves. Everybody, both physicians and the people everywhere, acknowledge Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to be the greatest known cure for disease. Peo- pie who take it get well.
 Why waste time in trying uncertain and untried remedies, when here is a physicians prescription, a discovery made by the greatest living specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of S5 West 14th street, New York City. If you take this medi- cine you can consider yourself under pr. Greene's direct professional care, and you can consult him or write to him about your case, freely and with out charge. This is a guarantee that this remedy will cure, possessed by nc other medicine in the world.

With rheumatism, come weak kid neys, weak nerves, poor blood. Weak kidneys mean death, because they lead to serious kidney diseases, which all ways kill. The symptoms are weak back, pain in the back, bloating, mud dy water, tired and languid feeling, gas in the stomach, loss of appetite, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, headache, dimness of vision, dryness of skin, and nervousness.
 Just so surely as you have these symptoms, your kidneys are out of or der, and you need the one sure cure, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Try a bottle and see how quickly those symptoms will vanish. It cures rheumatism, a most dangerous complaint, for it leads to fatal heart disease. MT. Nathan G. Batchelder of Hardwlck, Vt, writes
 "A year ago I was badly bloated, and it was said I was going to die with the dropsy. I commenced taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, At that time was sight to behold. My usual weight was 1S5 lbs, 
 but I then weighed 1855 lbs. from bloat- ing. I also had rheumatism so that could not get into sleigh or wagon, and was bent over badly My stomach was so bad that could not digest my food, and it pained me good deal It had been in this condition for seven years before began to take Dr. Greenes medicine, but since taking 1t can eat as hearty meal as anybody have not been out for eight winters until this winter, but this winter have been out constantly, and took care of my horse and dYlven frequent ly.

The sum total of the creatures length would therefore have demanded an addition of eight or nine inches to the figures recorded. Another member of the same species, whose individuals probably at tain a greater average, as well as eX- ceptional size, than do those of any other, was seen by me near Mahaica, in Guiana, ascending a narrow ditch in such a position of extension as to per init of subsequent calculation by meas urement of ground and a fair presump- tion of accuracy, by which means we came to the conclusion that 1t was at least thirty-four feet long Moreover, a great African traveller man of world wide reputation in another branch of science and a most exact observer, has assured me personally that he has measured a python which he found dead in a stream at thirty-three feet

Speculation Was Quiet During the Greater
 Part of the Day.

Speculation Was Quiet During the Greater
 Part of the Day.
 New York, Jan. 11.-Speculation at the stock exchange was quiet during the greater part of the day and 1t was not until the last hour when there was even an approach to activity. This spurt was due to a report from Wash ington, which was subsequently de- nied, that Secretary Carlisle had re- signed. The rumor led to rally of 4 to 35s per cent, the Anthracite Coal CTS leading, Delaware and Hudson sold up 3ss to 135%, Jersey Central 21A to 92% and Reading B to 1872 and Sus- quehanna and Western preferred a4 to 42. The buying of Delaware and Hud- son was also due to the determina- tion of the directors to maintain the usual dividend of per cent. per an- mum, which led to investment buying.
 The grangers were prominent in the rally, Rock Island rose to 62B, Bur lington and Quincy to 72, Northwest B to 96ss and St. Paul B to 567s, Chi cago Gas was less of a feature than usual. It opened at 7S, fell to IT'S, rose to 78A and declined to 76%@B. There were indications of liduidations and it was said that eastern capitalists prom inently identified with the company were sellers. Sugar was bought at one time on reported improvement in the refining industry. The stock ranged between 90A and 91. The heavy withdrawals of gold from the sub treasury, some $2,300,O0o, partly for export and partly i'll connection with the recent government bond pur- chase had no influence.
 The market closed firm, but not at the top figures of the day. Net changes show gains of 4 to 2% per cent, Illinois Central and Delaware and Hudson leading. Total sales were 149, ,442.
 The bond market was stronger. Sales were $1,2Os 900.

 Dear Sirs:-It affords me special pleasure to express to you my great satisfaction with your instruments, The same fully justify the distin- guished renown which they enjoy, and can only concur in the verdict of Messrs. von Bulow and D'Albert, in em- phasizing that the Knabe Pianos, be- fore all in regard to mellow and sing ing (gesangvollen) tone combined with power, respond to the highest demands. These qualities united with perfect mechanism place "The Knabe Piano at the head of the best American ir- struments, and I again beg to express my satisfaction that have the use of the same for my entire American tour. With highest esteem, yours truly,

tinctly, and when they try to read
causes headache and pain in their
eyes. Such children should have
their eyes properly fitted, and they
will soon show improvement in their
studies.

or fiber of the eye. He can tell in an
instant after examination whether he
can benefit You or not, and will truth

reaching the middle Atlantic States
and New England Friday. A cold
wave set in in, the northwest Friday
night. Frosts were reported Satur-
day morning as far south as Kansas
and Missouri, extending to the Allan
