An Inoh from Death.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press relates a peculiar experience
which happened to friend of his dur
ing stay in Burma.
We were sitting on the veranda OF
our bungalow one evening, enjoying
our after-dinner cheroot. Finally my
friend arose and sauntered into his
bedroom.
Usually lights were placed in all the
bedrooms, but this evening, for some
reason-probably the moonllght-the
servant had not performed his duties.
could hear my friend fumbling about
on his dressing liable, and then sudden
ly he gave a cry Of horror and rushed
out to the light.
81 have been struck by a snake" he
gasped, and his face was deadly pale.
"Where Is it? Quick! Show me!' l
exclaimed, as whipped out knife.
He held out his right arm. There
was no mark on the hand, which I eX-
amined critically, but on the cuff Of the
shirt were two tiny scratch-like pune
lures, and two little globules of poison
sinking into the starched linen and
leaving a sickly, greenish-yellow mark.
you've had a close call, old man." I
exclaimed, with sigh of relief; "and
now let us settle the snake"
We found him coiled up on a small
mirror, which lay on the table, and an
ugly-looking reptile he was, too, ready
to strike again.
He was a very poisonous snake,
known as the Deboae Russelli, but
after my friend had done with him 1t
would have been difficult for any natur-
alist to haee placed him in his proper
genus.

recognized by the majority of country
housewives, too many of whom let the
squirrels get them all. Very delicious

for the labor used, and this is of only
nominal value.-Philadelphia Inquirer

HARcouRT's RESIGNATION.
Came as Surprise to England and
Demoralized the Liberals.


Demoralized the Liberals.
The resignation of Sir William Yer
non Harcourt as official leader Of the
Liberal party in the House of Com
mons came as a surprise to all Eng
land and threw the Liberal ranks into
a state Of disorder.
When, in December, 1868, Mr.. Glad
stone came into power as the chief Of
the administration, William Vernon
Harcourt took his seat in Parliament
as representative of the city Of Oxford.
1t was not long before he gave the
House of Commons a taste Of his quail
ity. His maiden speech was in oppo-
sition to the proposition to abrogate the
statute of Queen Anne, which requires
that ministers of the crown when they
take office should vacate their seats
and offer themselves for reelection.
This speech, with its pOnderous learn
ing and brilliant wit, made his name.
In 1880, when the Gladstone govern
ment was formed, Sir William became
home secretary. At this time it fell to
him to pilot the Irish crimes act
through the House of Commons against
the fierce opposition Of Mr.. Parnell and
the Irish members, a task which he
accomplished with brilliancy.
He resumed the place of chancellor
of the eXchequer in 1892, the same post
he had held during the previous Glad
I stone administration. When Glad
stone retired it was supposed that Sir
William would succeed him. The man

A Delightful Picture.

A homelike picture of Mrs. Washing.
ton and her favorite granddaughter is
given by Mrs. James Gibson, who fire.
quently visited her when, as the Presi-
dents wife, she resided in Philadelphia,
then the capital Of the United States.
Mrs. Gibson's language Is quoted by
Miss Wharton in her Martha Wash
ington."
Mrs. Washington was in the habit of
retiring at an early hour to her own
room, unless detained by company and
there, no matter what the hour, Nellie
Miss Custis) attended her.
One evening my fathers carriage be.
ing late in coming for me, my dear
young friend invited me to accompany
her to grandmammas room. There,
after some little chat, Mrs. Washington
apologized to me for pursuing her usual
preparations for the night, and Nellie
entered upon her accustomed duty by
reading a chapter and psalm from the
old family Bible, after which all pres
ent knelt in evening prayer.
Mrs. Washington's faithful maid
then assisted her to dsrobe and lay her
head upon the pillow; Nellie then sang
n verse of some sweetly soothing hymn,
and then leaning down, received the
parting blessing for the night, with
some emphatic remarks on her duties
improvements, etc. The effect of these
judicious habits and teachings ap.
peared in the granddaughter's charac.
ter through life.

Jack, we wept together.

little good that was left in me-which
aroused the deadened sense Of unseltish

than my villainy had ever dreamed Of.

changed man?"
And that was the sequel Of the con-
versation in Bond street.
