A veteran Rattlesnahe.

A huge rattlesnake has for fifty years
been known TO live in the cliffs of Jen.
nie's creek, johnson County, and many
attempts have been made to capture
il. One day last week COW belong
ing to Dan Davis, who lives in the
neighborhood, was bitten by snake,
and by marks in the sand and weeds
in the pasture field Mr.. Davis conclu-
ded at once that the COW was bitten by
this huge rattler, and offered S25 TO
any one who would kill 1t. One OF
Mr.. Davis's farm hands armed himssf
with two 6-caliber pistols and followed
the trail about mile TO a cave in the
cliffs. Climbing a sapling overlook.
ing the mouth Of the cave, he remained
there between three and four hours,
when the monster appeared. The
hunter fired nine shots into the snake
before he killed it, and on measuring
it it was found to be eighteen feet
long. It's body in circumference mea.
sured twenty nine inches. The rattles
on its tail were two feet long and eight
inches broad. Citizens of sixty and
seventy years of age who live in the
vicinity say that when they were young
they heard people talk of monster
snake inhabiting those cliffs, and signs
Of the reptile have been seen every few
years.-Louisville- Courier Journal.

There are only two places in the
world where men are scarce. In the
Shaker communities Of this country
The men are gradually dying out, and
the families, as they are called, are
largely made up of females. And
Easter Island, detached spot in the
Pacific, only thirty miles in circum-
ference, is described as an Adamless
Eden where men are scarce aud women
plentiful. In May last the bark No
nantum, which had cargo of coal for
Panama, was wrecked of this island
and the Grew landed in safety, but in
formation has reached the State De-
partment in Washington that the con-
ditions of the island are such as to
promise happy and prosperous ca
reer TO those men who wish to marry
and settle down. II is not very long
ago that a gray-bearded old man and a
crew Of young men intercepted ship
off Easter Island and invited its sail
ors to cast in their lot on this inter-
ssting island, which has been cele-
brated for Cyclopean masonry which
has been regarded as a relic of sub
merged continent.

The rupee is coined as freely in In.
iia to-day as it was before the Govern
ment closed the mints. When the
mints were open, more rupees were
coined by private coiners than by the
Government. The savings of the ma
lives are made into silver bracelets,
rings and other ornaments. When it
became necessary for them to turn a
part of their resources into money,
they did it by employing a native
soiner to turn the metal into rupees
It is a country of vast distances, and
the natives could not send their orna-
ments to Government mint, perhaps
one thousand miles away. The native
coiner travelled from place to place and
hut to hut, just like country tinker.
He was glad to work all day turning
bangles into rupees, weight for weight,
for perhaps one rupee as his reward.
And very good rupees they turned out
too. They are current everywhere,
and nobody questions them. Of
course, the practice is illegitimate, and
when the mints were first closed the
Government tried to put a stop to it,
but not with much success. Now it is
winked at by the authorities, for the
situation in India to-day is too threat
ening for any interference which il
not absolutely necessary. 1t is prob
ably the first case on record where
