A dog with an interesting history ha.
just died in France. He was a New
foundland named Sultan, and he count
ed among his exploits the arrest of S
thief, the capture of an assassin, tht
rescue of child from drowning in the
Marne, and of man who attempted tc
commit suicide by jumping from the
Pont-Neuf into the Seine. For this
gallantry the Society for the Protection
of Animals presented him with collar
of honor three years ago. Latterly
Sultan was owned by the Comtesse
Foucher de Careil, who relied on him
to protect her castle at Perdy, neal
Corbeil. Quite recently he prevented
the castle from being robbed. The no
bic dog has paid his devotion to duty
with his life, for he was found dead in
the park, poisoned by his enemies.

BATTLE WITH a SNAKE.
Florida Story Related by the Chic


A Florida Story Related by the Chica-
go Chronicle.
Mrs. Byron Brown, who lives over In
the West End settlement, five miles
from Ocala, Fla, had an exciting set-to
with a huge snake the other day that
has made her a great reputation as
brave woman. She has a fine lot Of
poultry. She never gives a chicken
away, kills one or sells one, much to
the disgust of her husband, who Is
practical man, and wants to see some
money come In for the big outlay in get
ting the fowls.
The other day while Mrs. Brown was
In the house cooking some eggs for her
husbands dinner she heard terrible
commotion ip the hen yard. Running
outshesaw huge snake devourlng one
OF her pet chickens. She stood struck
dumb with horror and pain-she was
IRON Boston-and then her Yankee
Dlood was reused and she determined
that the "sarpint" should pay for his
meal. Catching up a big stick, she
struck at the snake, but missed, and
the next moment the snake flew at her.
She nimbly jumped aside and it missed
her dress by an inch. Turning tail the
reptile sought safety in flight. Gliding
down by the fence, it sought big knot
hole and started to get out. As its folds
disappeared through the hole Mrs.
Brown was seized by brilliant idea.
Jumping forward she seized its tail and
began pulling back. The snake thrash
ed vigorously, but couldn't strike back
on account of the boards.
Mrs. Brown was struck by another
brilliant idea. With an adroitness pe-
culiar to women she tied the snakes
tall In double bow knot. Then slip
ping a big wedge Of wood right behind
1t she drove stake through the loops
30 the snake couldn't get back. Then
going up to the other side she sought
to kill the reptile. But his angry hiss
and threatening look were too much for
her. She ran into the house and came
out with the eggs that had been boiling
all this time, and were sizzling with
heat. Getting the reptile excited she
threw an egg. The snake struck at Il
in anger and madly swallowed 1t. Two
or three more followed in rapid success
zion, the infuriated reptile swallowing
every one as 1t came along. At the
fourth one the snake seemed to think it
bad had enough of this red-hot kind of
food and wildly thrashed about trying
to get free. Soon one of the eggs came
through Its under side, having burned
Its way through the snakes body. Then
another and another followed until all
were on the ground and dying snake
lay there. Mrs. Brown then waxed
brave, and, getting a pine wood knot,
pounded the reptiles head into bits. 1t
measured 0 feet 5A inches long and
vas 10 inches around the middle.
She saved the eggs and her husband
.emarked that day at dinner that she
mad allowed the eggs to get pretty
hard" whereat Mrs. Brown smiled.

A ham weighing ten pounds re-
quires to boil three hours and a
quarter. A small chicken should boil
twenty minutes; large fowl forty FIVE
minutes to one hour; a neck of NUT
ton demands one hour and half and
a picked tongue two and half to-
three hours.
The loss in weight occasioned by
the action of boiling varies with diff
ferent meats. Pork, hams, beef and
mutton experience about twelve per
cent. of loss, while poultry diminishes
about fourteen and three-fourths per
cent. A turkey loses sixteen per cent.
upon its original weight.

by an annual custom which takes
place in one of the cemeteries of New.

every year place a wreath of flowers

the mayor and other members of tho
corporation attend and hang wreath
on the granite obelisk which marks his
resting place. Thus his memory is
kept green among his fellow citizens
