SNAKE BRACELET THE LATEST
ReptIIinn Ornament Introduced by
Society Woman Promises to BE-
come Popular Fad.

Many years have elapsed since the
snake bracelet first wound its sinu-
GUS way into popularity, but the SER
pent armlet which n New York society
woman has introduced, is brand new
article, and already promises to become
q popular fad.
This unique reptilian ornament
twines in six clinging coils about the
bare left arm of the wearer between
the shoulder and elbow.
Cleopatra would have died with envy
had she beheld this fascinating yet re-
pulsive baublc upon the arm of a rival.
The snake is made of soft tawny gold,
with jewel-incrusted scales. The head
is q mass of jewels, with ruby eyes, dia-
mond forked tongue, and arched neck
resplendent in notified spots composed
of sapphires, rubies, diamonds, tur-
quoises, amethysts and beryls.
The serpent is n gorgeous, glittering,
evil-loolting jewel, which fascinates So
ciety.

SIEZES A FREIGHT TRAIN.
Levies ON Railroads Rolling
Stock for Payment of Taxes

When the east-bound freight train of
the Long Island railroad drew into the
station at Southampton, l.. l., the other
afternoon all was serene. The local
consignment of freight had been trans
ferred and the engineer was about to
open the throttle and pull out for the
next stop when Edward p. White, the
town tax collector, appeared on the
scene. He ordered the trainmen to
sidetrack the long line of freight cars.
There was some hesitation, but when
he exhibited his authority and repeat
ed his order it was obeyed. Mr.. White
explained that the Long Island Rail
road company owed the town two years
railroad taxes and that he had seized
the train as security.

The uranla Did Not Win.

1t Is really amusing to hear some
people talk. The latest is that on last
Thursday night the little Pomeroy
packet Urania actually outran the ele-
giant Pfttsburg packet Queen City 1t
caused quite stir among those who
wer posted on the running qualities of
the Queen City, but the following let
ter from Captain Agnew shows that it
was a prearranged plot on the part of
the crew of the Urania to take the
Queen City unawares, crowd past her
and then say she had beaten the Queen
City. Captain Agnew fell onto the
scheme and did what he said he was
going to do, as the letter to friend
will show:
On Board the Steamer Queen City,
April, IS, 1899.
Dear -: According to promise
we did exactly what We agreed to-
passed the Urania this evening be-
tween Coney Island and New Rich
mond. We showed as clean and fair
pair of heels to the Bay boat as she
is likely to view at any time of her
career on the Upper Ohio, and we can
repeat the dose again if she ever
throws down the gauge of battle, which
is doubeful, unless Captain Bay comes
down the line and does something to
make a material increase of speed.
Some people on the Urania have made
up their minds by this time that their
little boat is all right, but she is out of
her class when she stacks up against
the Queen City. We don't bar any
sternwheel boat in America. Very re-
spectfully, r. r. AGNEw.
That night before the alleged race
both boats were on their up trip, the
Queen City for Pittsburg and the
Urania for Pomeroy The Queen City
arrived here sometime before the
Urania and lay at the wharf putting on
large amount of freight, one item
alone from the Maysville Produce Co.
being sufficient to have the freight cost
800. Besides this there was a brok-
en- lug bolt to fix, which caused her
some additional delay in getting away
from here. The UranIa in the mean
time had come and gone-in fact was
way up the river when the Queen City
left here. 1t didn't take the latter boat
many hours to get away from the little
steamer, and her officers never saw the
Queen City any more that trip. The
Urania would stand about as much |
show in getting away from the Queen
City as johnboat would in running
down the Bostona. If the Upper Ohio
had few more packets like those the
Pittsburg Packet Line has in commits
sion there would undoubtedly be a
awakening of river interests.
The Queen City was thirty minutes
ahead of the Urania at Portsmouth,
Maysville Ledger.

A Highly Unusual Experience.

Lynn Hornor,a popular young bank
er of Clarksburg, well known here, had
a novel experience at Woodstock, Va,
last week. Going there on business,
he was met at the train and cordially
welcomed by a young man he had new
er seen.
Get right in the carriage and we
will go up to the house. he said.
Hornor protested and insisted that
he was going to the hotel, but the
young man would not listen to that.
"The family are all expecting you"
he said. Sister is there waiting on
you and you must go with me, so get
into the carriage"
The mention of the sister waiting to
see him settled it, and Hornor got in
to the carriage. Arriving at the young
mans home, the different members
were all brought in and presented ex-
cept the young lady, who was a little
slow, but finally appeared, only to cry
out as she ran from the room: THAT
isn't the man"
After the excitement was over Hor-
nor learned that he had been taken
for for a man who was to marry the
young woman the next day and whom
none of the family had seen except the
girl. he went back to the hotel where
the groom elect was found very indig-
nant over the GOODNESS of his reception
by the brides family And now Lynn
is telling the girls of Clarksburg how
near he came to being married while

Disinfecting.

As the warm weather comes the ten.
dency is to throw open the openings of
the poultry department and let in the
fresh air to dispense the impure air of
the buildings which has accumulated
during the time they have been kept
closed 1t is all right to let the pure
air in and to rarity the impure air of the
interior of the buildings, but this may
not be all that is necessary The warm
weather may reveal odors which did not
seem apparent when the weather was
colder, and some of them may be in
tensifed as the days become warmer.
The way to best get rid Of all bad
odors and impure air of the poultry de-
partment is to disinfect them, aud no
better substance can be employed in this
than generous supply of whitewash
1t is not only the best way but it is the
cheapest To make it do its best il
should be used without stint oG the in
side and on the ceiling, on the pest
boxes and on the roosts and the floor
may have some Of it without doing any
injury to it. What would be better for
the floor will be air Stacked lime.
The roostiug place and the yards may
be sprinkled generously with a solution
composed of copperas. This drug is
very cheap and it dissolves readily in
water. A very good way to apply this
is BY the use of q sprinkling can. II

Shaping Up the Trees.

The time to shape trees of auy kind
is while they are young. During the
early stages of growth the top may
easil, be trained in almost any desired
shape with very little trouble But
after the tree has acquired some size
and age it becomes much more difficult
to change the form. especially when
severe pruning is necessary. as severe
pruning often Injuries tree.
With the majority of fruit trees, a
low spreading head Is the most desira-
BILE form, as better distribution of air
and sun is secured to the fruit. The
fruit is easier harvested, while both the
tree and fruit are less liable to be in
jured by hard winds BY annual prun-
ing during the first few years of growth
only small limbs need to be removed in
order to secure the desired form, but if
proper pruning is neglected in ma
jority Of cases the removal of large limbs
becomes necessary
The safest plan is to cut the tops back
in proportion to the roots when the tree
is FIRST set out, and then give annual
prunings thereafter

Cross Breeding for Seed Corn.

In bulletin issued by the Kansas
state Agricultural College. Prof. r. w.
jlothier says it will pay farmers to test
The value of the following method Of
electing seed corn: Two or three rows
re planted in the middle of the field =,
using seed of a different variety from
that used in the remainder Of the field.
The tassels of the corn in these rows
are pulled before they develop pollen,
so that the ears will be fertilized with
pollen from the remainder of the fold
The seed from these rows is selected
for next years planting, and it is claim
ed that the yield has been increased by
at least ten bushels per acre Colonel
Dudley of Topeka, has done a great
deal in this line, aud reports excellent
results. If the yield Of the Kansas corn
crop could be increased ten bushels per
acre it would mean several million dol
lars added to the value of the crop, and
obtained by only very little increase
of labor expended Prof. Clothier says
that about fifteen farmers about Man.
haitian will cooperate with the expert
meut station, and urges others to do
the same.
We see no reason why farmers through
out the corn belt should not make ex-
periments along tn e line of this sugges-
ton. As Prof Clothier says, it will
require very little labor Any farmer
can find different variety of corn from
his own by going three miles, or less e.,
away from his home and the work of
pulling out the tassels will be little more
than the work necessary to cut the weeds
out of the same number of rows Farm
ers. give this matter your careful atten-
ton, and then plan to take up the work
