"a girl should never marry man
that she may reform him." writes Mar.
garet Sangster, in the February Ladies'
Home Journal. "If he is in need of re-
formation let him prove himself worthy
by turning from evil and setting ais face
steadfastly and psrseveripgly to good
before he asks girl to surrender her
self and her life to him. Nor should q
girl be too impatient with father, moth
er and friends II they counsel delay in de-
Gliding matte which is to il fluence her
whole career and her lover'r, when they
with clearer eyes than her own, perceive
in him an uusuitability to her" This
hits the nail on the head.

The Man With The Hoe.

Prot Markham's strong indie tment of civil.
tLat1on in his poem, The Man With the Hoe"
might have been written with q less virulent
pen, did the author realize how much has
been done by Lite Insurance to dissolve the
unnatural fellowship between the owly toiler
and his yoke fellow, the OK. Lite insurance,
formerly thought to be prerogative OF the
classes has its blessings extended to the toll
ng masses in the past decade to such an ex-
tent that the most improvident toiler on the
farm or worker in the mill whose capital is
his brawny arms oftentimes has q stake in
the community in his lite insurance policy,
equal to his more fortunate brother with
bank book or patrimonial estate. When the
family bread-winner dies, his lite insurance
policy strikes the shackles from his feet, un.
Jokes him from the OK. glorif1es his lite, and
eXalts him to the elevated plane of a hero
And the insurance agent is abroad in the land
spreading the blessing.

they tell Of the late and much lament

Judge. 'In this court people die, not

snake Hunters in Florida.

snake Hunters In Florida.
Most Of the snakes seen in circus
and dime museum shows come from
South America and Florida" said a
dealer in reptiles to q Washington Star
writer. "In Florida the colored folks
make the best snake hunters. and their
method Of catching the reptiles is
peculiar and interesting. The hunt
ing parties usually consist of from
three to four men. One Of them car
rtes a long pole, having a forked or
bent head and a strong slip moose at
the end. The moose is put over the
snakes head with the aid Of the pole.
The darkies then draw the COS tight
on the snakes neck. Then the cord
is passed through the inside and bot
tom Of a canvas bag and the snakes
head is pulled up tight to- the bottom
of the bag. The snake will now begin
coiling himself up to get a purchase to
pull the cord of. AS he does so the
hunters raise the mouth, of the bag and
twist 1t around until the snake is
twisted up into q circle at the bottom.
Then the bag is tied around close down
to the snake and the main cord is cut
close to the bottom Of the sack, so that
when the snake extends its head 1t
will throw off the moose from its neck.
The snake can't throw its head far
enough back to strike. and it may,
when thus captured, be carried with
perfect safety for any distance with
only the thickness of the bag between
1t and the hunter"

Three Kinds Of Ice.

"A German physicist, G. Tammann,
has recently discovered some hitherto
unnoted facts concerning ice and the
freezing point Of water. He finds that
not only does the freezing point vary
with the pressure. but that three diff
ferent kinds Of ice can be produced,
each possessing its W crystalline
structure. Thus water may now be
said to have five known forms-namely
water vapor. water as a liquid, ordi-
nary ice, called by Tammann ice T.,
ice in its second form. or ice H.. and
Ice in Its third form. denominated as
ice III. Some non-scientific people
would, in hot weather. add a sixth
form generally known as ice-cream.

The church property in Galveston

the larger part Of which was owned

most prominent religious body is the
Baptists, and the third the Episcopali-

one church is left intact, and through
the various religious bodies word has
gone out for UNCONVENTIONAL help. The
largest Catholic congregation was that

Noiseles. Poudes.

The success of smokeless powder in
modern warfare has been such as ia
prompt a man of an inventive turn Of
mind to manufacture a powder which
is said to be also nolseless. 1t is the
invention Of a German workman in
this country. He has already given q
private exhibition Of the practicability
Of his discovery with considerable sue
cess. A shell loaded with his powder
was fired at a target fifty yards away
and the only sound indicating the ex'
plosion was the falling Of the plungel
OF the shell. Bohnengal, which is the
name of the inventor, has not, it /,
said, yet sold the secret Of the process
but Is still in treaty with different gov.
ernments for its purchase.
