What Scientific Farmer Did with
Worn out Land.
A little over a year ago we made
some extended comment upon an H.
lustration Of what might be done on
an abandoned farm by man who
knew his business, says the Boston
Transcript Such a farm has been
purchased and redeemed in the little
town Of Paxton. about seven miles
from Worcester, and away from the
railroad by a Long island man, who
brought with him a thorough know
ledge Of truck farming. His success
the first year does not seem to have
been exceptional. We have heard
great deal about the smallness Of the
potato crop this year, and undoubt-
edly the conditions have been less ia
vorable than usual, but our Paxton
farmer put thirty-seven acres into the
tubers from which he expects to pro-
duce a crop Of some 4.500 bushels. OF

SAVED BY A MoNGoosE
its Attack on a Cobra Prevented
a Fatality.

A ST. Louis man who has been en-
gagged in engineering work in India
brings home this story OF an exciting
adventure with a cobra:
I'VE had just finished a hard days
work and were preparing to take a
good rest. We were far from vii
lage. on some hills. and took shelter
in a deserted hut We did not reach
the hut until after midnight, and con
sequentiy We slept late into the next
day. The first thing I remember upon
opening my eyes was a food of light
through the door I was nearest. and
my two companions were behind me.
on a second glance my blood almost
froze. There on the floor Of the hut
and less than two feet from me was
large cobra, the largest I have ever
seen. It was coiled to strike. and its
venomous neck swelled with poison.
The little eyes glittered like beads.

horror. Ny perfect stiffness probably
saved my life. for If / had made a
move the snake would have struck AS
it was. it seemed to be enjoying the
triumph. and slowly moved its head
backward and forward I dared not
utter a sound. as l knew that it would
seal my fate.
Il was just revolving in my mind
what to do and had determined to
make a quick leap, when there was
rush from a far corner. A small ami
NAL about the size Of a rat darted out
from behind the snake ana like a
fash seized him by the neck just above
the hood. And then commenced the
hercest struggle 1 have ever witnessed.

visited but the little animal clung to

ENGLAND'S

One Of the most important announce

British Parliament for many years is
the recent declaration By Joseph
Chamberlain, colonial secretary. that

or elsewhere its Indian and African
troops. Ii is an announcement Of most
profound interest to the entire civilized
world, but more especially to those ma

barbarous races subject to tEeir rule.
Hitheto there has been strong
sentiment against the use of semi-civil-
lied races in the wars Of Christian
states. It is a sentiment that found
expressinon in the eighteenth century
at Westminster. when the great Lord
Chatham denounced with such elo-
quent indignation the employment by
the British commanders in this coun-

American revolutionary forces. There
