Rattlesnake Oil.

A curious business has recently de-
veloped i'm those countries where rattle
snakes abound, as a big price is being
paid for the oil obtained from the eggs
of rattle snakes. This oil is used for
rheumatism aud neuralgia, and an
ounce of the article is worth from S25
to $50. The outfit of the rattlesnake
hunter is very simple. He carries a
short lance, at the point of which there
is sharp curved blade. When he has
located a rattlesnake, the reptile on
seeing him usually erects itself for the
attack, and this moment is used by the
hunter to cut off its head with the
weapon described above. In case the
snake is a female, it is cut open, the
eggs are extracted and cooked for some
time in hot water. An oily mass
rises to the surface of the water. 1t is
skinned off with spoon and placed
in distilling apparatus. The oil re-
manning is filtered through muslin and
sold in ounce bottles 1t looks like
vasoline, and placed upon the skin
without being diluted it will draw
blisters and cause painful infiamma-
ton. When prescribed it is therefore
used in mixtures with other oils. Since
the oil is very scarce, rattlesnakes are
now in great demand and are dimin-
ishing rapidly.

Tyrolese Customs.

There is an old custom prevailing
among the Tyrolese regarding prOpos-
a s of marriage. The first time young
man pays visit as avowed lover he
brings with him a bottle of wine, of
which he p)Irs out a glass and pre-
sents it To the object of his desires.
If she accepts it the whole affair is
settled. Very often the gil has not
yet made up her mind, and then she
will take refuge in excuses, so as not
TO drink the wine, and yet not refuse it
point blank, for that is considered a
gross insult, proving that she has been
merely trifiing with the affections of
her lover.
She will for instance, maintain that
the wine ''looks sour or that wine
disagrees with her, or that she is afraid
of fgetting tipsy, or that the priest has
forbidden her to take any-in fact, she
makes use of any subterfuge that pre-
sents itself at that moment.
The purport OF these excuses Is that
she has not come to decision and that
the wine offering is premature.
This strange custom, dating very far
back-aecording to one account it was
known as early as the ninth century
is called 'bringing the wine," and is
synonymous with the act of proposing.
Shy lovers, loath to make sure of
their case beforehand, find it very
happy institution. Not a word need
be spoken and the girl is spared the
painful "No'' of civilization.
If any of the wine is spilled, or the
glass or bottle broken, it is considered
most unhappy omen-in fact, there
is peasants saying for an unhappy
marriage. "They have spilled the
wine between them. m."-Philadelphia
Times.

A Teachers Observations

IL will readily be admitted that il
any one should possess a knowledge of
children, their habits, peculiarities,
and idiOsyncrasies, it must be the ele-
mentary sehoolmaster, who has spent
all his life in teaching the young idea
/ how to shoot.
Here are a few strange facts bearing
on the subject, noted writes an occa-
, sional eontributor) during twenty-five
years experience as teacher in near
ly all grades of elementary schools
Children with blue eyes are intel
lectually stronger than those having
brown ones, but as a rule, are not as
strong in physique.
Big headed children have found as
a class anything but brainy-quite the
opposite, in fact.
Boys and girls with curly hair I al
most invariably find quick witted, and
of genial temperament Straight
haired children, on the other hand, are
given To mOroseness, and inclined to be
sulky.
Where a child is heavily built, with
a preponderanee of fat, have found
diminutiOn of brain, and a correspond
ing slowness in intellectual pursuits.
Color-blindness is much much more
common than is generally supposed. l
have found, after careful examination
and comparison, that one child in ten
is entirely color blind, and at least
twenty per cent. partially so.
y couple Of years ago what are term
ed varied occupations were introduced
into our elementary schools.
The particular branch taught in the
writer's school is eolored crayon work.
The results of the first lesson were
staggering For green, red was used;
yellow for purple, and vice versa This
led to my establishing quarterly sight
examination, and / have at the pres
ent time under my tuition several boys
who trust will not in after life follow
the occupation of engine driver or
sailor.
The sight greatly depends upon the
color Of the pupil of the eye. Those
children with brown eyes, find, haze
a better conception of color than those
whose optic pupils are of a gray or blue
tint.
\ great many children have imper-
feet vocal organs, and many pass out
of board and other schools in agricult
ural districts who can not speak prop
ly owing to physical causes.
There is no doubt that culture and
training have very beneficial physi-
cal influence upon the vocal organs.
When admitting a new scholar, in
variably make inquiries about the
mother. Children are a great deal
more indebted to their mothers, so far
as brain is concerned, than is general
Iy supposed.
Napoleon was quite right when he
said that France wanted mothers.
America at the present time would be
none the poorer for an extra number of
good brainy mothers.
The child shows the man. This is
best seen when punishment has from
any cause 10 be administer ID.
II very often happens that little
undersized boy will bear with the great
est fortitude an amount of physical
punishment which, when administer
ed to boy built in a bigger mould,
will make the latter yell from the pain
and apprehension.
The boys who succeed in life are not
the brilliant though erratic workers,
but the plain, steady, daily plodders,
who, if rather slow, do their best to
creditably perform their task.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1897-04-21

There was a written examination on
the Book of the Acts the other day in
a London Sunday school, and one
scholar turned in the following:
"When they saw Stephen they were in
such temper that they knashed him
with their teeth, and charged him to
be taken out of the city and stoned.
Stephen said: 'Ye stiff-necked things,
why speak We so?' The second super
natural event was the striking down
dead of Ananias and Sapphira his wife
for telling lies to Peter. This was super
natural, because it is not natural to
have persons struck down dead for tel
ling lies. Ananias and Sapphira were
were two great prophets. Ananias
prayed to God to take him to Heaven,
and it came to pass that as he was ON
his horse he was carried up to heaven"

Senseless Hurry.

The hurry fever is rife in homes
where they try TO do too many things
without thought or plan, and especial
ly without stopping to consider how
many of these thing are not worth do
ing at all.
We have all seen such households.
Hurry to breakfast, hurry to lunch,
hurry to dinner. Hurry to bed so you
may be up early. Hurry to fix the fur
mace, that you may hurry to fill the
tubs that you may hurry to wash the
dress, that you may hurry to go to the
party. Hurry up that We may hurry
down. Hurry in because we are in a
hurry to go out. Hurry to finish this
game, that we may have time for one
more. Hurry to have the walk, for
you must hurry of 10 church after sup
per. So the the fretful household hur-
ries, with knit brows, compressed lips
and tense nerves, from bustling morn
ing to bustling evening.
II would be fruitful experience and
a shrewd test for almost any one to see
by actual count just how many times
in day he uses this fretful word,
"hurry," and how many of these times
he could have just as well avoided it.
Nothing is gained by hurry. The
attitude of mind it implies is prejudi-
cial to wise planning or proper exeeu-
ton. We have just so much time;
scheme to do what will fill it-no
more, but, indeed, mich less, leaving
many half-hours for the unexpected.
The shrewd workman will understand
the paradox, ''Do not do too much,
and you can do no more" Danish the
hurry fever with the cooling diet of
peace and forethought and jollity.
Then your home will be rare abode,
only one remove from heaven.-The
Home Queen.
