The Snake Redeems himself.

The Snake Redeems Himself
One of the attaches of the United
States geological survey tells Won
derful snake story, and he claims it is
true. So does his wife. who was one
of the parties to it. Both are favor
ably known in this city, but as there is
much doubt expressed about their
story, they prefer that their names
shall not be given for the present. Ac-
cording to the gentleman, while in the
Far West in the early part of last sum-
mer, he ran across a rattlesnake. The
snake was apparently in great agony,
and, upon examination, it was found
that a thorn was sticking through it,
The gentleman was an expert in hand
ling snakes, and he had no difficulty in
pulling out the thorn, much to the re-
lief OF the RATHER. Three months
later he visited the same place, and
near the same spot found the same
snake. He packed it up in box and
decided to bring it to Washington. A
few nights afterward the: gentleman
and his wife arrived in a promising
western town and took quarters at
hotel. During the night thief en-
tered the room, and would have got
away with considerable plumber had
not the snake, in his gratitude for
kindness shown him, stuck his tail
out Of the window and gave rattle
which attracted the attention of the
police ashington Star.

Most people d. not realize that these
sudden dizzy spells, pains in the small Of

sleep, loss Of appetite, face that has
an unnatural pallor and puffy appearance
are the unmistakable evidences Of Brights

plication.
Sufferers so afflicted drag out a miserable
existence, growing weaker from day to day
until they hail the sudden death that event
uaHy overtakes them as blessing for re-
leasing them from pain. But, why get in
this condition? Follow Mr.. Dice's example;
with the first symptoms take Kickapoo. In.

Thousands Of testimonials similar to tho

yours to the list; you surely will when you

been used by Indians for centuries md
their long life and freeness from such

their efforts in the right direction; oW-

= The management, and control of
electric generators often puts a severe
strain on the attention of the electri-
clan in charge. This is especially the
case in England, where atmospheric
conditions are more variable than in
this country. In the city of London
supply station, cloud passing over
the least fog will put on an instantan-.
eous load equal to 200 or 300 horse
power, during daylight hours, and an
emergency staff Of men on duty, but
within instant call, is always in readi-
ness to meet such demands. Then
there is always a sudden demand for
supply of current when large numbers
of lights are switched on together, and
as sudden A. ceSSa ton Of demand when
they are switched off: The eye OF the
electrician, therefore, has to be con-
Stantly on his indicator. The dynamo
must be regulated according to the
least variation in the call for current,
or there would be serious hitch. In
addition to the care and watchfulness
required within the station, there are,
outside contingencies which may in
stantly throw whole town into dark
ness. A few weeks ago some men in
a town in Westmoreland had been cut
ting a drain in a street which inter
sected the wire conducting the local
supply Of electric current Just be-
| fore leaving they managed to cut the
wire about half through, and then COW
cred it up without saying anything
about it. For while all went well,
and there was no sign of any Interrupt
ton. Suddenly the wire gave way,
and in a moment every light in the
! place went out. The responsibility
that rests upon the manager Of q sta
ton under such conditions as these,
can easily be understood, and it need
not be a matter Of surprise if many
men become nervous, excitable ana
unhinged under the strain.

"A Hens Feline Pets.

Queer Pets of a Mother1y old
Speck1ed Hen. >4,.s
"A William Ohler, of Bethel, Conn,
owns an old speckled hen that has a
heart as tender as her flesh is tough.
Last week she adopted two, kittens
that were deserted by their unnatural
mother. El* i A'- <l}l -
50 The old cat left her offspring in the
barn where tehy were born and did
not return for several days. The
5speckled hen was sitting on a nest
Of, eggs nearby. After the cat disap-
peared the kittens began to meow
plaintively. The speckled hen, cack-
ling and clucking softly, strutted over
to the kittens and tried to comfort
them. She huddled, them under her
wings, cooling hen-fashion, and did her
best to tell them that she would be a
mother to them. -
7 That night, and for several days
thereafter, the speck1ed hen watched
over the kitchen ceaselessly. Her own
nst Of eggs was neglected. She COW
cred her foster children with her
wings, gave them good advice and an
occasional scolding in hen language,
and tried frequently to induce them to
eat a worm or a bug. The kittens
grew weaker and weaker day after
day for lack Of proper nourishment,
and then ~ 80.
:: The cat came back minus an eye
and considerable fur. She tried to ap-
proach the babies, but the tough old
speckled hen would not allow her.
She flew at the cat, cackling fercely
and striking tabby with her stump
spurs and wings. The cat was driven
away every time she ventured near
the kittens. :.-.. 49,.

Bachelors Are up to Snuff"

The establishments Of many wealthy
bachelors are mounted on a scale OF
extreme elegance, nothing lacking to
make their living houses models OF
good taste. When bachelor gives "a
dinner, one of his female relatives
takes the seat opposite him and acts
as hostess. The bachelor host takes
the Initiative on entering the dining
room, conducts the lady of greatest
Importance to her seat, which should
be on his right hand. Most bachelors
of the haut ton are up in the etiquette
OF entertaining, and need no coaching
IA order to DO the proper thing.
