San Pedro's Springs, a suburban re-
sort 1t is of hilly and rocky ground
and the chaparral thereabout is thick
ly populated with rattlesnakes. From
a child young Kessler had shown a pc
culiar animosity to these reptiles and
hunted them industriously. He SEEM
ed to have no fear of them whatever.
When he got older he took to SHINING
them when dead and curing their hides
and at one time he had some
hundreds of the skins in the
house. Eight years ago he sold
them to man who wished to make
cravats of them. Since then he had

never before been bitten. His method
of killing them was peculiar. He used
no weapon. When he found a snake
coiled ready for its spring he would
throw a stick at it and irritate it into
leaping. Then he would coolly mash
the reptiles head with his heel. He
said that he got no satisfaction from

came in contact with his right thigh,

his flesh. The wound was treated with

erward the skin around the wound be-
gan to darken and in little while was
a blush black. This shade extended
over his body and up and down his
limbs. 1t assembled to the neck and
thence to his face. For a while the
lower part of his face was black and
the remainder white. When Kessner
died the black shade had assembled to
the roots Of his hair, and but for his
equiline features he would have been
taken at first glance for negro. Dur
ing all this time he was tormented
with racking pains in his limbs, sim

grew worse as time went on, and just
before his death they were almost I'M

TO BE COnt1nued.)
Partly Analyzed Soils.

The analysis of soils is of a good
deal of importance to the farmer and
yet no analysis can tell exactly what
a soil will do or what it most needs.
BY chemical analysis we get certain
results. The test shows the chemicals
that compose the soil but it does not
show the humus and ready plant food.
Thus two soils might analyze exactly
alike and yet one Of tncm might be
productive and the other an unpro-
ductive soil. One might be rich in
humus and the other contain no hu-
mus. In one the available nitrogen
might be large, while in the other
there might be no availahle nitrogen.
The analysis of soils is thing that
should be carried on to greater ex-
tent than at present, but VIZ must not
look for too great results fr:l. it. One
of the best analyses of soils is that
made by the actual plants. Knowing
the needs of different plants we can
largely determine the character of the
soil by the relative growth OF the
plants.
The partly analysed soil may yet be
Of great use to the farmer who has to
buy commercial fertilizer, as he can
determine the kind of chemical fer
tilizer to use in the largest quantities
But systematic growing of certain
plants will give him very full stock
OF information as 70 the actual supply
OF plant food in his ground This is
particularly the case with varieties Of
the same plant. Take for instance the
strawberry. 1t is our experience that
some varieties do we'll on clay soil,
while others will simply do nothing on
such soils. 'the farmer that tries but
one variety nf a liant ON his ground
cannot know that he is getting the one
that will give him the best results.

-Baiiey's Challenge in the House.
Washington, Dec 20-The senate had
Il busy day yesterday. and there were
several important speeches. Plat OF
Connecticut spoke against the Vest res
olution which declares that the United
States has no poUer toacquire territory
He said that the power OF a nation to
acquire territory was as inherent as its
sovereignty. The United States
had the right to govern such
territory in the best possible
manner until the people of the acquired
lands were capable of seIf-government.
Proctor of Vermont and Hale of Maine
exchanged divergent views upon the
subject of a commission OF senators to
visit Cuba. Proctor thought such a
commission was necessary, while Hale
said he thought il would be extremely
bad taste and useless. The Nicarauga
canal was up also for debate.
Made a constitutional Argument.
Platt's speech was Z constitutional ar

saying ne did not propose to discuss the
policy of expansion, nor the features of
the government we might establish in

our national development and added:
Il shall maintain that the United States
has shown a great capacity for govern
ment in all trying times and under
many trying conditions, and that ii is
capable of meeting any emergency
likely to arise. / shall contend that the
United States is n nation. and such
