the Siorras in search of rare specimens,
and were camped at n place called
Moore creek They had small tent
with them, which they had pitched near

Friday evening Of last week the pro-

bugs, retired to their tent rolled them
selves up in their Blankets and were
soon in drcamland. Just as daylight

his face and down on to his chest and.

he discovered IL was monster rattle

head raised about foot and ready ut
the least movement to strike.
Cold drops of Precipitation oozed from
every pore of the professors body.
while his muscles became as rigid as
bars of iron and his eyes became fixed
with Il stony glare as he gazed ut the
head of the monster. which was about
six or seven inches from his face and
swinging from one side to the other

hearable, but well he knew that the
least move that he made meant death
in the most horrible form, How long he
remained in this terrible position he
does not know but II seemed ages
when suddenly he felt his muscles re-
lax, his vision grew dim, everything
around him became dark, and in a few
seconds he was oblivious To everything
around him. The doctor was quietly
sleeping few feet away, unconscious
of the terrible danger of his companion.
When he awoke the sun was brightly
streaming into the tent,and as he rolled
over in his blankets toward his COM
panion his blood seemed to chill In his
veins at the sight presented to his
view. His companion was stretched at
fun length upon the ground. with his
eyes closed and his face as white as q

breast was a huge rattlesnake. appar-

standing near by. and. cooking both

ment his companion moved little,
when the snake gave a rattle and again
raised his head. The doctor. seeing his
chance, fired, and at the report of the
gun his companion gave yell and
jumped to his feet, throwing the reptile
some three or four feet away from him
in its death struggle. The Doctors aim
was true, for the reptiles head was
blown completely off.
On being measured it was found to
be four feet nine and one-half inches in
length and had seventeen rattles and

Surgeons Autobiography.

The first installment of Spurgeon's
autobiography has appeared in London
and from review in the Daily News
we take the following case OF cor
science:"
There is one old man at Water
beach who was great miser. on one
OF my visits to the place after / had
removed to London. I heard that, in
his last illness. he had a bed made up
in the sitting room and ordered his
grave to be dug Just outside the win
dow. so as to reduce the cost of his
burial as much as possible. one of
MS friends who was talking about him
said; He was never known to give
anything to anyone Well / replied,
I know better than that. for on Sun
day afternoon he gave me three crowns,
and as l was wanting a new hat at
the time, l got 1T with the money
We'll, rejoined the friend. L am sure
travagance as that and that he must
have wanted his three half crowns
back abain.' All. but answered.
you have not heard the whole of the
story yet. for, the following Sunday,
the old man came to me and asked me
to pray for him that he might be
saved from the sin of covetousness,
for, said he, the Lord told me to
give you half sovereign, but l kept
back half n crown and I cant rest
at night for thinking of it,"
More striking is the prophetic tribute
to Spurgeons powers made, Just after
he had gone to London, by Sheridan
Knowles. A clergyman named Davis
tells the story:
Il was a student at Stepney. now

Knowles. the celebrated actor and
playwright, had just been baptised by

The presentation was made one
Wednesday afternoon. 1t was an &C.
casion never to be forgotten, not only
for the sake of Sheridan Knowles him
self, but because of his prophecy con-

nothing. Immediately on entering.
Mr.. Knowles exclaimed: Boys, have

None of us had heard him. Then

had been preaching at New Park street

He is only boy, but he is the most
