A Heroine in Humble LIE.

Remarkable fortitude in suffering az
we'll as an unusual degree of consider
alton for the welfare of others marked
the conduct of Mrs. Julia Bender, who
came near burning to death in her
apartment in New York one night, a
few weeks ago. Mrs. Bender was alone
at the time and was engaged in MAX
ing a birthday cake as a surprise for
her little girl. On the cake she placed
the appropriate number of candles.
One of these she lighted to see how it
would look, An unlucky Jolt sent the
candle against her dress and in an in
slant she was ablaze from head to foot,
but she did not scream. She tore her
clothing off and then tainted. A tenant
in a neighboring apartment heard the
suffering woman groan and went to her
assistance. When asked why she had
not shouted for help, Mrs. Bender
said: Il wanted to, but like a flash 1
thought of the sick woman across the
hall. She is dying and we have all been
told that we must be very still. 1 re-
membered all so that I knew If l
opened my mouth at all l would
shrek, so l gritted my teeth and tried
to put the fire out myself" A surgeon
came and he pronounced her injuries
mortal.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Novel Industry in Southwestern
Texas.

A Novel Industry In Southwestern
Texas.
The establishment of a large fac
tory for the manufacture of snake oil
in Texas about a year ago has led to
the development of a new industry in
the srate. There are probably 100 men
in southwest Texas who are devoting
their whole time to snake hunting.
One of them, Captain Mack Arnold,
seldom fails to capture from five to ten
rattlers each day he puts in at the
work. The snakes bring % cents a
pound gross at the factory and each
snake weighs from -four to six pounds.
Before removing his camp to the vi
cinity of Austin Captain Arnold and
his Mexican assistant spent three
moths in Blanco county, where they
had wonderful success in capturing
rattlesnakes. During that period they
captured and shipped to the factory
1,540 r~attlesnakes. At one point on the
Blanco river Captain Arnold found a
den of 81 rattlesnakes all of which
he and the Mexican succeeded in tax
ing alive. They would not have sue
ceeded in doing this had not the
weather been cold and the rattlers
been in a semi-comatose state. The
snakes are caught by means Of a loop
at the end of a stick. 1t is Captain
Arnold's opinion that the snake-hunt-
ing business will afford those who
have nerve enough to engage in It a
good livelihood for many years to
come. The fact that a market has
been found for rattlesnake oil will
cause the demand for the snakes to
keep up. Should a scarcity Of rattlers
ever occur on the ranches it is pre-
dicted that some enterprising man
will start a farm for the special pur-
pose of raising the reptiles for mar
ket. Many thousands of live snakes
are received every month by the
snake oil factory. They are sent in
alive and killed as needed. The flesh
is used to make oil, while the skin is
tanned and manufactured into a va
riety of small articles, including neck
ties for men.

MIA being to await the coming out OF
the DuAe Of Parma's feet from the
Flemish harbora. But the Duke OF
Parma was blockaded by the Anglo
Flemish squadron and could render no
assistance. Meantime the English
drove the spaniards out Of Calais
roads and engaged them in a battle
that lasted all day. The spaniards,
driven to the coast Of Zealand, held
a council OF war and finding that their
fleet was badly damaged and their am
munition running low, decided on re-
turning to Spain for repairs. They
selected the route around the Orkney
islands, the winds being contrary to
their passage through the English
channel. While carrying out this ar
rangement a terrific storm arose and
the feet was dispersed. Some 30 YES
sells were wrecked on the coast Of Ire
land. Others sank to the bottom Of the
sea. Il is estimated that $4,000 per
ished with the wrecked vessels. OF
the proud armada, which set out with
such great designs, only about 80 yes
sells, and these in wretched condition,
found their way back to Spain.

we make much better progress at
the bedsideo of the fever patient by keep
ing before the eye, as the only object
worth striving for. the warding off
of hamilton, than we should by a ran
dom search after dishes that will do
the patient good guided by unclear
and ungrounded prejudice" says Prof.
Carl Won Noorden in the International
Monthly. THE condition of the diges-
tive organs may in special cases, as in
typhoid fever, lay us under certain
restrictions, but otherwise every va
riety of food must, in fever cases, be
looked upon as useful and welcome, il
thereby we can reach the goal Of the
fever dieteties, and prevent hamilton
and the initial loss of fat and protop-
lasm. With some fever patients, we get
along better, and do them more good
with pea soup, sauerkraut and roast
pork than with the finest calves-foot
jelly and the tenderest breast of chick
en-. The old dogIaatists in dietetics,
whose footing was rather natural phil
osophy than the facts of the pathology
of metabolism, would have been hor-
rifed II they could have known what
a vast variety Of dishes we allow our
fever patients nowadays"

Rural England resent the Motor.

In England the automobile has not
yet emerged from the period of thinly-
yelled federation. So far as cities and
towns are concerned, people have be-
come accustomed to the whizzing cars,
but there are many country districts
where the appearance of Daimler or
Decauville would excite more curiosity
and speculation than a travelling men
agerie. The works are mysteriously
concealed, and b%ystanders are ignorant
for the most part that the petroleum
motor now seen In many streets is.
after all. only a slight variant of the
ordinary gas engine of commerce.
Many people apparently resent the ap-
pearance of a motor, on the ground
that it is a challenge to the methods
Of locomotion with which they are
familiar, and which have so far suited
their requirements tolerably well.-

(London letter.
The search being instituted by the
Duke Of Argyll, son-in-law of the late
Queen Victoria, for the treasure con-
tanned on a vessel of the historical
Spanish Armada, which was defeat
ed and in great measure destroyed in
1888 while attempting an invasion of
England, recalls the story of that dis
astrous expedition-one of me worst
naval failures in all history.
The particular ship containing the
treasure which the Duke of Argyll is
seeking was the Admiral Of Florence,
and beneath the waters of Loeb Duan
the hulk of that vessel is now rotting.
It's exact location is we'll defined. Over
100 years ago n of the dukes ances-
tors made an attempt to recover the
rich treasure known to have sunk with
the vessel and a diver actually sue
ceeded in bringing to the surface some
Of the old bronze cannon with which
the ship was fitted. But at this
juncture the British government inter
posed. According to the ancient laws

cred belonged to the crow and the
dukes ancestor being a sensible man
naturally abandoned the project. 10y
al subject as he was he saw no reason
for spending his own money in order
that the crown, always sufficiently en-
riched, should be made richer and SO
the vessel and its treasure were left
the prey of the waves.
