The Snake Famed Him.

"About FIVE years ago." said G. T.
Buckman, a well-known resident of
Visalis, "while I was spending sum-
mer in the mountains northeast of
Visalia, captured large bullsnake.
'Being alone in the mountains and
having lots of spare time on my hands
I was able to teach Slippery Dick
the name I had given my strange pet
many tricks. taught him to come
at call, to coil up, to dance, and many
other tricks. He would coil up on
the table, his head in the centre of the
coil, elevated about six inches in the
air. I would place the handle of
small fan in his mouth and then Dick
would gently wave the fan to and fro,
and thus keep the flies and insects
away from my face when I slept.
"ae was as good as a est to keep
the house free from mice. I often saw
him bring in ten or twelve in day.
His .fondness for mice was his ruin.
1t happened this way. One day I
missed Dick, and though I hunted and
called all day, I could not find any
trace of my pet. One day, about a
week after his disappearance, having
occasion to explore the loft fthe cabin
in which I was residing, I came across
the remains of my old friend. APP
parently he had been more than ordi-
narily mouse hungry, and in his haste
to satiate his appetite had swallowed
live mouse, and the mouse had done
the rest. Poor Dick! I can imagine
bis surprise at the strange commotion
on his inside, but it was case of re-
ward for glutony. No doubt he re-
pented when it was too late. San

HYa1EN1c DRESSING FOR TIE WHEEL.

HYa1EN1c DRESSING FOR TIE WHEEL.
Correct hygienic dressing for the
bicycle begins with the first garment
put on, which should be a combina-
ton or union suit of wool or silk, the
weight, of course. adapted to the sea-
son. Those who can wear wool will
find in it the best preventive to those
sudden chills to which the rider is ex-
posed when resting after an exhilarat-
ing spin. Knit underwear of some
sort is absolutely indispensable, and
the advantage of the union suit is the
avoidance ofunnecessary bands around
the waist and the overlapping folds OF
separate garments. It is well under
stood that petticoats have no place on
the wheel, but women agree to dis
agree as to what is the best dressing
next the skirt. Some wear short
equestrian tights, but in case of acci.
dent, a fall, or the ,disarrangement of
the skirt from any cause, the exposure
of the legs is just as complete as if one
were dressed for stage ballet. For
this reason we'll fitted knickerbockers
are much the better choice; and if
made of silk or satin woman could
not wear anything more comfortable,
as the avoidance of garments that can
cling one to another is one of the fret
conditions of "ft" dressing for the
wheel. If the ckirt he lined with silk
the knickerbockers can be of the same
fabric, or of wiry mohair or alpaca,
both which have the virtue of never
clinging. With tan colored suits or
those of heavy linen for summer use,
pongee knickerbockers are just the
thing.
Skirts should be very moderate in
fullness-about two yards and half
at the foot-and may be unlined or
lined with taffets. If finished with
facing or hem on the inside, great
care must be exercised to see that it is
stitched on the extreme edge so that
not the fraction of an eighth of an
inch be loose and afford opportunity
to catch on the pedals. To avoid the
possibility of this some tailors turn
the hem or facing up on the right side
of the skirt, and ornament it with
many rows of stitching; others finish
the bottom with narrow binding OF
pliable leather.
The divided skirt is very generally
liked for its convenience in mounting,
and the ease with which it is adjusted
in the saddle; it falls readily and nat
urally with equal fullness on both
sides, and this is not always easy to
accomplish. with the best cut round
skirt. Whatever the style it should
clear the ground by six or eight in
ches; shorter than this is not only un-
necessary, but also Objectionable, as it
is extremely liable to blow up above
the knees, when it looks worse'and az
tracts more attention than to ride
without a skirt. .-Demorest's Maga.

STOCKINGS OF ROYALTY.

Probably the most fastidious woman
in Europe about her stockings is the
Princess of Wales. She generally
wears lace ones of cobwebby fneness,
which cost her from seven to nine
guineas a pair, or from $40 to so.
She often uses black or white ribbed,
hand-woven silk stockings, however,
which are very soft and comfortable.
For country wear the young princesses
don those of soft, black spun silk,
which are warm and delightful to walk
in. For more dressy occasions they
wear stockings Of embroidered silk of
various shades.
The Empress of Russia wears English
hose also, and is said to have recently
ordered large supply of the sottest
black angola stockings, fine as Indian
cashmere, with the sheen of black silk,
all hand-spun and finished with white
toes. At the same time the Gar or.
dered several dozen pairs of black an
COLA and tan socks, strong and elastic,
for walking, and quantity of bicycle
hose, which, it is interesting to note,
are in patterns of lively colors. New

BEST ROADS ARE CHEAPEST.

A very wise philosopher has OBJ
served that tie great bulk of the peo-
pie must always support the mass of
the population.
The people pay for everything the
people have. The public paws for the
railroads and the expense of running
them. II the railroads were only half
as good and could only haul half as
much it would cost the people twice as
much to ride or ship over them.
It is fortunate for the people that
railroads are conducted in an organ
lied business-like way. If the oppo.
nents to improved roads had their
way the railroads would be neither
profitable nor pleasant.
The people of community are the
ones vitally interested in the roads of
that community.
If the farmers of each township were
to get together and mutually agree
that they would go about system of
good roads their sum of happiness
would be increased.
Since the people pay for the roads
why not have those that are the cheap.
ist and most pleasant-the very best
nes?-Good Roads.

CLIPPING QUEENS WINGS.

When apple trees and dandslions
are in bloom is the best time that ]
know of to clip the wings of queens,
as at that time of the year there are
not 30 many bees in the way, making
it easier to find the queen, and it has
also become warm enough, says G. NJ.
Doolittle, in Gleanings, 30 that there
is little danger of chilling the brood
II the combs arc out of the hive some
little time.
Then the queen is apt to be laying
up to her greatest capacity, which
makes her more slow of motion, and
easy to see. But, having really de-
cided to clip our queens, the time to
do this is at any time when we see
any queen not clipped which we are
sure is laying one. Thus I. am al
ways prepared to clip any queen may
find which is laying, and has whole
wings; and, besides this, I go over the
apiary during fruit bloom to make
sure that all are clipped.
Now, how shall we clip? Some tell
US to clip with scissors, doing SO with
the queen standing on the comb, cut
ting off what you happen to catch at
the time the scissors shut. Others say,
take the queen by the thorax, and
then deliberately cut off just so much
of the larger wing on the right or LETT
side, Just as seems good to them while
others have clipping device to run
the queen in, so that she will be like
cow in stanchion, etc., all of which
are undoubtedly practical in the hands
OF those who are accustomed to their
use.
My way, although I do rot claim
tor it the best. is as follows: Have the
small blade of your iackknife very
sharp, the same being open, and near
at hand. Hunt the queen. and, when
found, catch her by the wings with the
thumb and forefuger of the left hand.
Now take the knife in the right hand,
and place the sharp blade on the wing,
wings, or the amount you wish to cut
off; lower both hands to within an
inch of the top.bsrs to the frames,
when you are to draw the little till
the queen falls to the frames, when, OF
course, you will raise the knife from
the finger or thumb. No danger oi
cutting yourself if you stop as soou
as the queen falls.

FERTILIZERS FOR CABBAGE,

Nitrogen fertilizers are the best fer
tilizers to promote rapid growth in
cabbage plants, says the Market Gar
den, as in the cabbage leaf growth is
very abundant. Such applications,
therefore, as nitrate of soda, sulphate
of ammonia and flesh meal, are excel
lent. But good results may also be
looked for from applying superphos.
phate, and indeed, any Of the unadul-
terated preparations that may be OBJ
tanned from slaughter houses. The
purely nitrogenous fertilizers should
always be applied on the surface, and
after the plants are above ground,
otherwise the soluble parts may pass
down through the soil before the roots
of the plants can take them up. The
superphosphate may be applied very
conveniently by strewing it over the
surface of the ground just when pre-.
pairing it to receive the seed.

YOUNG CHICKS IN WET WEATHER.

Until chickens have become full
feathered they are very tender, and
especially liable to be injured by ex-
posure 20 wet. This is especially true
if the mother is one of the rambling
breeds, which show very little judg'
ment in the care of their young. 1t
is safe to keep the chicks in coops with
open Stats, so that the young can run
out in fine weather, while the hen is
confined. The insects and bugs that
young chicks find out doors are the
best of meat food fer them, accom-
panied, as it is, by the exercise re.
quired to capture their prey.
