UNCONSCIOUS OF DANGER.
Rattlesnake Coiled Itself to Sleep on
 Mans Breast.

In the course of MT. Ross Cox's eXpe- dition along the Columbia river some years ago, one member of the party had dangerous experience, of which fortunately he was at the time uncon- scious The men were preparing sup per on the bank of the river, and La Course, worn out with the fatigue of the day, had stretched himself on the ground and fallen asleep. A few min- utes later 1 passed him, says Mr. Cox, and was mortified at seeing a large rat tlesnake nov over his body toward hlS left bre&3t. y first impulse was to alarm "a Cosilse, but an old Cana dian when l Aa.l 5eckoned to the spot said We n .D- make no noise, and the snake would crcss the mans body and go away. In this he was mistaken, for on reaching the chest the serpent coi:- ed itself quietly as if meditating a stay. If La Course moved or woke, we shud- dered to think what would happen. Others quietly joined us, and it was de- tefmined that two men should advance i'll front, to divert the attention of the snake, while one should approach with long stick from the rear and dis lodge the creature. On seeing the meg in front, the rattler raised it's head played It's evil looking tongue and shook it's rattles, indications of anger Every one was in state of feverish anxiety as to the fate of poor La Course, who still lay asleep The man behind now came up with stick seven feet long, quickly placed one end un- der the reptile, and succeeded in pitch ing it ten feet from the mans body. A shout of joy was the first intimation La Course had of his wonderful es> cape. The snake was pursued and kill ed.-'Youths' Companion.

The Ice Floods oi Iceland.

Dr Thoryald Thoroddsen in recent papers gives q curious picture of life and scenes i'll Iceland. Settlements are limited to the lowlands. yet even these arc not safe places of abode. for they arc exposed to lava floods, river floods and showers of volcanic ashes. When {hc glaciers of the dome-shaped noun tains are suddenly melted by volcanic heat. overwhelming torrents bearing immense masses of ice and fragments of rock, sweep down the river-beds Yet with all their disadvantages tho iuhabitantS of the narrow lowlandS of Iceland enjoy universal education. and among them more books and newspa- pers are published per head of popula- ton than in any other country.

THE BURGLARS BIBLE.
He Said That He Would Get It BACK
Again, and He Did.

Senator John c. Spooner OF Wlscon-
sin when young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men
we'll worn Bible and small drawer.
On the fly leaf Of the Bible was the In
scription, ITO My Darling Boy. From
Mother"
The trial was held the next day. ana
the future senator made brilliant
speech to the jury. He exhibited the
Bible and pointed to the inscription,
and without leaving their seats the
fury returned n verdict of Not guilty.
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50.
Boys" said Mr.. Spooner as they
were about to separate. Il am curious
to know why you carry that Bible ana
the empty drawer" Then the senator
listened with establishment to the his
tory of his clients.
I'VE are professional safe blowers
and have been for five years. This Bi-
bic has a double cover and opens like
this (herc the self confessed criminal
pressed hidden spring in the thick
cover and disclosed a hollow in which
there lay two steel files and small
saw. "and this old drawer has secret
bottom, where we keep our tools"
The future senator cOnfiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily.
"We'll get those things back yet, you
mark my words"
Several years passed. and then the
incident was brought back to Mr..
Spooncr's recollection in the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they re-
turned at a late hour. they found that
the house had been entered by bur-
glars and ransacked. but that nothing
apparently was missing. The next
days mail brought letter which read:
Dear Sr-Please excuse the way we came in
last night, but the door was locked. We never
did think you treated Us square by swiping
outfit, and so we came back after il and found
you not at home. We always keep ouI
word. Yours truly, JACK AND JIA.

"Nr. A is generally eXtravagant

came into our office wearing an air OF
great satisfaction, and his jubilation

AN ENDURING CURSE.
A Famous English Family That Per
fshed by Fire and Water.

A Famous English Family That Per-
fshed by Fire and Water.
The attempt of the Midhurst district
council to convert the famous "Close
Walks"-four old yew avenues-at
Covdray, in Sussex, into an arrange
ment Of sewage tanks recalls creepy
story Of fulfilled curse. At the disso-
luton of the monasteries Sir Anthony
Browne obtained grant Of Battle Alb
bey and the priory Of Eastbourne, the
parish in which the ruins Of Cowdray
are situated. and according to q pic
turesque tradition one Of the monks
cursed him to his face and prophesied
that "by fire and water his race
should perish out Of the land. What
foundation there may be for the story
no man can say. but unquestionably
the Brownies did so perish.
George Samuel Browne. eighth Wis
count Montague and owner OF Cow
dray, who was engaged to Miss Coutts,
sister to Lady Burdett-C -Coutts' mother,
was drowned in the falls Of Laufen-
burg in 1893 The messenger who
brought the news to England met one
going to Germany to inform Lord Mon
tague that Cowdray had been burned!
He was succeeded by distant rela-
tive, a Roman priest. who was dis
pensed from his VOWS that he might
marry and continue the line. but he
died a few months afterward and the
title became extinct. The estates went
to the drowned viscount'S sister. whose
two sons were drowned together at
Bognor in 1915. 1t is a weird story
