A Heroine in Humble Life.

Remarkable fortitude in suffering as
well 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 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

clothing off and then tainted. A tenant
in a neighboring apartment heard the
suffering woman groan and wentto her.

not shouted for help, Mrs. Bender

MARGARET FULLER.
A BRILLIANT CAREER WHICH

1t Is Now Proposed to Honor by the
Erection OF Monument.

The propositiSn to erect monu-
ment to the memory of Sarah Margar-
ct Fuller Ossoli, better known as plain
Margaret Fuller, directs attention to
one of the brightest geniuses among
American women. 1t is suggested that
the memorial be placed on the shore
OF Fire Island, near the spot where
the gifted woman went down to a wa
terry grave more than a half century
ago. Her career, which ended SO trag-
Aeally, was one of brilliant literary
achievements and romantic incidents.
a Prodigy.
Margaret Fuller was the daughter of
Timothy Fuller, congressman and
distinguished lawyer of Chilmark,
Mass, and her early education was
supervised by him. Naturally bright,
the father exceeded the limit of her
endurance in forcing her to study
throughout the day and recite at
night AS a mere child she read Hor-
ace, Ovid and other Latin writer's in
the original. At Is she was in the
habit of rising at 5 o'clock of a sum-

French one hour and Browns Philoso-

would read Greek for while. In
the afternoon she spent two hours

in Berni, Pulci, Politan and other old
Italian poets. She was also deep in
Greek and planning course in

HUNTING RATTLERs.
Novel Industry in Southwestern

Novel Industry in Southwestern
Texas.
The establishment of a large fac.
tory for the manufacture of snake oil
in Texas about year ago has led to
the development of a new industry in
the state. 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
fattlers each day he puts in at the
work. The snakes bring 25 cents
pound gross at the factory and each
snake weighs from four to six pounds.
Before removing his camp to the vi
entity 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
l,54O rattlesnakes. At one point on the
Blanco river Captain Arnold found
den of 81 rattlesnakes all of which
he and the Mexican succeeded in TAX
AAS dllNS. 1HSy WOulu= uOC nave 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 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
good livelihood for many years to
come. The fact that market has
been found for rattlesnake oil will
cause the demand for the snakes to
keep up. Should scarcity of rattlers
ever occur on the ranches it is pre-
dicted that some enterprising man
will start 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.

Australia as we'll as here. One man,
Sir. Malcolm McEachern of Melbourne,
expended $250,0OO to secure seat in
the commonwealth house Of represen-
tatives. Another man, laborer, from
an adjoining constituency, expended
only $3.50. A remarkable campaign
was waged by another candidate who
on the eve of election issued the fol-
lowing statement: 81 have travelled
in the conduct Of this contest more
than 10000 miles, large portion on
foot. have published and circulated,
chiefly by my own hands, or by those
of my family, 100000 pages of liter
allure in book form. l have published
10000 copies of speeches delivered in
the constituency, and 125,OOO copies Of
four-page circulars. 1t is utterly i'm
possible that this amount of work
and literature can fail to have its
effect" The candidate who tramped,
printed and published on this colossal
scale found himself on the bottom Of
the poll when the numbers were up.
