A snake Tint crnsr..

There exists in Venezuela a species
of snake of an exceedingly venomous
and crafty character. This snake ut
tiers cry that Is the almost exact repli-
ca of a cock crow. The unwary travel
er when walking through the bush will
be astonished to hear near at hand this
extraordinary growing. He proceeds
toward the spot, when the snake darts
out and stings the unfortunate man
with its terrible forked tongue. If not
taken promptly in hand, the sting will
In nine cases out of ten turn out to be
fatal. m
The black inhabitants Of Venezuela
are, like all other dark races, very su-
perstitious. And as regards the rattle
snake they have a curious belief. They
affirm that If rattlesnake is captured
and the bones In its tail which form
the rattle removed the snake will never
rest until 1t has sought out the man
that committed the theft and exacted
vengeance for the robbery.
They cite instances of men who have
taken the rattles and gone far journeys
only to be followed by the infuriated
snake and killed. Whether there is any
truth in this is matter Of conjecture.
If half the tales that are told have any
truth in them, 1t would seem superfu-
. Gus to gainsay the superstition.

An .Amcrlcnnn nuel.

During my residence in Heidelberg a
Iamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students, having
quarreled, decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
In and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the American duel"
In a darkened room the two young
men drew lots, having sworn that he
who drew the black ball would commit
suicide. The unhappy loser went to
his room and discharged bullet into
his breast, but missed his heart and
fingered for several days on his death
bed. His parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees to disclose the name of his an
tagonist, but he steadfastly refused
and died with the secret in his breast
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to a
distant city they accompanied the fu-
neral cortege with torches and music.
The students claimed he was not a sui
eide, for he was killed in an honorable
duel, and they maintained that his op-
ponent WAS not accessory to his death
because he shot himself. / had many
arguments with them and never could
convince them of their extraordinary
Neutrality-suspicious..

Our Old shinplasters.

An officer of the treasury department
estimates that more than $4,000, 900
worth of the old fashioned fractional
paper currency is still outstanding, and
though some of 1t has doubtless been
destroyed the bulk of it is held by col
lectors and private individuals. Every
now and then. some old person dies,
and the heirs, finding quantity of the
"shinplasters" in dlsused pocketbook
or some other hiding place, send them
to Washington to be redeemed. Occa-
sionally, too, banks forward quite lot
of the notes in unbroken sheets, just as
they got them many years ago. At first
these sheets had to be cut apart with
scissors, but afterward they were per-
forated like postage stamps SO as to
be torn apart. Not long ago the treas
ury received handkerchief full Of this
currency of the first issue, each note
being signed by Treasurer Spinner
with his own hand. About $4,000
worth of this fractional paper comes
in for redemption each year, and some
of the best of 1t is saved out by the
department to be given away in re-
sponse to applications from collectors.

Some people will go to great trouble

other day two well known society men
hired closed carriage and decorated
1t with bows Of white ribbon and fiow-
ers and other paraphernalia belonging
to well appointed wedding.
On each side was hung placard an

1t attracted great attention, and when
1t pulled up in front Of the Gait House
few days ago large crowd had con-
gregated to see the happy bride and
groom alight. The driver slowly got
down from his seat beside the door.
1He opened 1t deliberately, and when
he swung the door open the curious
crowd surged forward. There was no
bride and no groom inside, but instead

The Chinese physicians, It Is well
known, have long had the credit Of
paying very particular attention to the
pulse. They even pretend to derive a
much more minute and accurate knowl-
edge of the state Of the sick from that
source than European practitioners lay
any claim to. ...
The patient is directed to be laid in
bed, with his arm resting on a small
cushion. The physician must be seat
ed, and both parties are enjoined to re-
main calm, silent and collected. The
fingers are next to be applied in due
succession, one after another, in order
to judge of the compressibility of the
artery.
The Chinese do not infer solely from
the rapidity of the pulsations. Their
mode Is to compare the number OF pull
bations of the artery with the intervals
of the respiration Of the patient. The
number Of pulsations Of man In mod
crate health they consider In relation
TO the time Of a natural inspiration and
expiration. Four beats Of the pulse
during this period they consider as in.
dlcatlng perfect health. II it exceeds
five pulsations, it is considered as toe
quick; IL under that number, as toe
slow respecting good health. 1t is re
quired to reckon so pulsations In order
to form a correct indication. Their
chief divisions of the pulse are four
the superficial, the profound, the quick
and the slow. These they consider as
having relation to the four tempera
ments, the choleric, the sanguine, the
| phlegmatic and the melancholy

sachusetts. 1t is chiseled on a rock
on what is known as Rattlesnake hill,
situated near the boundary line be-
tween Worcester and Leicester.
Old Solomon Parsons, who was wide
ly known in Worcester county as an
eccentric character, and particularly
as a crank on the subject Of religion,
paid William G. Hall $125 for parcel
of land, and directed Hall to convey II
by deed to the Almighty. In order
that the greatest possible publicity
might be given to his disposition of the
property Parsons had the deed OF

Was She Righty

A certain woman, says the Wichi-
tn Eagle, desired the arrest of the
saloon keeper who had been selling
whisky to her drunken husband. Hav-
ing conducted the officer to the saloon,
she was told by him to pick out the
proprietor. Seven men, all looking
alike and dressed alike, were stand
ing motionless around whisky
barrel, and she could not tell
which was the one, but she stepped
to the barrel and turned the spigot,
and the liquor began to pour out on
the floor. One of the men sprang out
of the circle and turned the spigot off.
