A Rationale Story.

In Life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace A. Vachell relates one
of his narrow escapes from friends
bullet: my cousin and had been
camping and hunting for several days
in sort of paradise valley. One day,
during a long ride on horseback, we
had seen a great many rattlesnakes
and killed q few, an exceptional ex-
perience. That night my cousin woke
up and saw, by the light of the moon, a
big RATHER crawling across my chest.
He lay for moment fascinated, hor-
ror struck. watching the slnuous curves
Of the reptile.
"Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter. but he could not see the rep
tiles head, and he moved nearer, noise
lessly. yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-
cipitate the very thing he dreaded. and
then he saw that it was not snake at
all-only the black and yellow stripe Of
my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as | breathcd. Had he tircd-well, it
might have been lad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"

Lord Southey's GuilIotine.

The most eccentric action of an eccen-
trio man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means of a
guiliotine. He had magnificent one
erected in the drawing room Of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
. Paris. The machine was of ebony in
laid with gold and silver, the Frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife, sharp as razor, was Of polished
and 0rnamented steel. Preparing for
death, his .lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed In robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before a mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work, and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to museum in
stead Of making second attempt to
end his life. 1t Is said that he made
an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo-
tine until the end of his life.

Negro Superstition.

Many Of the negro superstitions In
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: If you want pcppahs to grow.
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had spat. an | went right out
Ian planted my peppahs. an they come
right up" Still another saying Is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by redheaded or by a high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees jaybird on Friday. for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kin
ding" on that day. The three signs
In which negroes place implicit trust
are the we'll known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
I'd Of February. that a hoe must not be
carried through house or death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed in the dark of the moon as well as
, all vegetables that ripen in the ground
, and that corn must be planted in the
light of the moon.

An Ant For a Pet.

One Of the queerest little pets ever
,een Is the tame ant belonging to wen
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has maze
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
rame to look for the food, and he o1er'
ed it some honey on the point OF a
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first then
drew nearer, feeling about with Its an
tennn. until it reached the needle.
Soon it learned to take the honey on
It's keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant Is now so tame that 1t quits
the bulb as soon as the cork IL removed
and goes to find the honey on the sci
