John Walls, farmer of Prime Hook

saw Il large hole in the ground, and,
seizing long pole, he thrust it into
the ditch. Instantly the earth be.
meath the farmer caved in, aud before
he realized what happened Walls was
in den of wriggIing, squirming
snakes.
There were about 500 of thu shiny
reptiles altogether, and they began at
tacking Walls from every direction.
Some of them, emitting n frightful,
kissing sound, came at him with their
mouths wide open and attacked him
with their venomous tongues. Others
coiled themselves about his legs until
the farmer was wrigging mass Of
serpents.
The only weapon he had in his hands
was q gun. He was unable to success
fully combat the snakes with the
weapon, and his cries for help brought
several other farmers to his assistance.
They threw him a rope and Walls clnng
to it, while the men at the top hauled
him from his perilous situation. He
was half unconscious when he landed
from the reptile den, and was weak
from the loss of blood. He was taken
to his home, where doctor pronounced
Walls in q critical condition.
The reptiles were of the blacksnake,

A Brave Brakeman,

Brakeman j. Fl. Wood is the hero
of the Maine Central Railroad at pres
ent, owing to brave deed in which
he saved several people from danger
at Newport. Me The engineer missed
his calculation triae in entering
Newport station in the darkness, and
the engine went past the standpipe,
making it necessary to back up in
order to take water. As soon as the
train came to standstill, the lever
was reversed. and the train COM
menced backing. The rush for the
doors of the car had commenced and
the first passenger to maize an attempt
to alight was young lady. who would
have fallen but for Mr.. Wood, who
caught and pushed her back. Then
instantly he turned to a lady who was
on the steps with an infant in her
arms, and forcib'y detained her there.
AS he did this au old man with big
fur coat jumped from the steps of the
other car, took spin aud finally landed
with one leg thrust over the rail, but a
few feet from the wheels. He had
hardly struck the planking and settled
in heap before Wood made great
leap and snaked him out of danger.
A second more and the old gentleman
would have been minus n leg.

which froze on her clothing at every
wave, she threw out her arms and
drew them in, in dnmb supplication to
induce them to make the leap.
Captain Beckett said to his men:
''It is our last chance. I'll try it. If
I live, follow me; if l drown, stay where
you are"
Stifiiy he got off his frozen overcoat
and flung himself into the hungry
waves. He struck out as best he
could, but when near shore the heavy
undertow swept him back. But Abi'
gail Becker was ont in the surf nearly
to her neck. Seizing him. she drew
him with almost superhnman strength
on the beach. There she gave him
hot tea to drink and laid him by the
fire. The mate now made the plunge,
and the captain. in spite of all she
could do, rushed to hel p her. He was
not strong enough, and the undertow
swept them both out. But not be-
yond her reach, for, like giantess,
she was in after them. and the three.
clinging to one another, staggered
ashore. Then the five sailors tried
it, one by one, and one after another
they were dragged ashore.
The Canadian Parliament voted Abi-
gail Becker handsome testimo lial,
and for years her name was the sailors
delight.

The Moon I'm tIle North.

r. N. Peary, the Arctic explorer, in
reply to a letter in regard to the moon
at the extreme North, says:
"The length of the lunar month in
the Arctic regions is the same as here,
but as a result of the higher latitude,
the moon is above the horizon contin-
ously for several days at time of full
moon. In the latitude of my head
quarters on the northern shore of
Whale Sound, in the latitude of II
degrees, 40 minutes north, each full
moon remained above the horizon for
eight or ten days. The length of the
winter in this latitude is from the 26th
of October until the 4th of February,
and there are consequently three win
winter moons"

ammunition department of the steamer
Hartford. Every one OF the twenty
three men working with linn was
killed or badly wounded by the burst
ing of two shells which entered the
compartment in rapid succession.
Lawson remained at his post passing
up ammunition to the gunners.
An officer called down from the
deck: "Why don't you hurry up with
that ammunition? Lawson answered
that lie was doing the best he could
and if quicker work was wanted help
must be sent to him. Whats the
matter with the rest of the men?" de-
manded the officer Dead" said the
man laconically, and the officer, enter
ing, found him with load of shells in
his arms, stepping coolly over ghastly

A writer in the New York Press re-
tells the story of the heroism of Abby
Becker, the Grace Darling of Lake
Erie. Late in November, 1854, the
schooner Conductor, Captain Henry
Beckett, with crew of six, left Am
herstburg, at the mouth Of the Detroit
River, grain laden, for Port Dalhousie,
on Lake Ontario, at the mouth of the
Welland Canal. 1t was the season of
gales, and the air was full of sleet and
snow. The water turned to ice on the
rigging, burdening the schooner,
which already had as heavy a load as
she could carry and keep afoat. The
hurricane blew off the crest of the
combers, causing what the sailors call
"spoon drift" a binding spray. In
this condition of the atmosphere the
Conductor drifted too near the Cana.
dian shore, struck on the outer bar of
Long Point, beat across it, and sank
in the deeper water beyond. The
crew took to the rigging and lashed
themselves there. Benumbed with
the cold, drenched by the icy waves,
and beaten by the sleet, they watched
in vain for signs of rescue.
Abigail Becker was the wife of the
lighthouse keeper. Her husband
was away on the mainland, and she
was alone in her hut with her chill
dren. At daybreak, after the terrific
night, she saw the wrecked small
boat of the conductor, and knew that
vessel had gone ashore. Walking
along the beach, she came to the scene
OF the wreck. There were the rock
ing figures in the rigging, and she, a
lone woman, was the only living crea-
ture near.
fastening to her home, she got
big iron kettle, teapot. and some
matches. Returning to the beach, she
gathered huge pile Of driftwood and
built fire, walking back and forth be-
tween it and the wreck, evidently to
inspire the men she could not reach.
She called to the sailors, but her voice
was nothing in the roar of the storm.
She beckoned to them to throw them
selves into the surf and trust to her to
save them. But the risk seemed to
them to be too great. All day long
they clung there, and all day long she
paced the beach, pointing to her ket-
tie of hot water, prepared to restore
warmth and life to the sailors should
they succeed in getting ashore.
Toward night she got desperate. 1t
was rescue now or never, for they
could not live through another night.
