A SNAKE CHARMS A Young LADY.
The power OF snake to charm was
proven by an incident near McCon-
nellsville, Pa, on Thursday. Miss La
viuia Long, a young lady, was return
ing from McConnellsyille to her home,
west of the Ridge, and as she became
tired walking sns sat down upon q
rock beside the turnpike, between the
farms of J. K. Tritle and Mrs. Sum-
mers. 10 few minutes large black
snake, of the racer species, came down
off the high bank along the road and
approached to within o couple OF yards
OF her, and erecting the fore part OF its
body stared her straight in the eye, Its
head gently swaying to aud fro.
Mas Long says she became almost
helpless, q benumbed feeling took pos
session of hei; she was scared. bat did
not seem to be able to move and could
not take her eyes away from the gaze
OF the reptile, which became immovable
and made not a sound. With a strong
effort the young woman arose and got
upon fence, the racer stealthily fol.
lowed her, its eyes fixed on her and its
tongue darting 10 and out 10 bewilder-
log manner. Just ss Miss Long began
to feel dizzy and drowsy, fairly hypno-
tized, a team approached, and at the
noise the snake elided off. Mics Long
nearly lost consciousness when rescued,
and since her experieoce has been so
nervous that It is almost impossible for
her to sleep. The men Of the team saw
the snake, out could not catch il.

The BOSTON COURIER having sug-
gested Mr.. Thomas B. Reed as a suitable
candidate for president, the New York
Sun, once democratic paper, but now
one Of the most radical republican
organs, grows wrothy and says:
For a Presidential nomination by
what party does the Courier consider
the Hon. Thomas B. Reed as now
directly In line We feel ourselves war.
ranted in saying that he would never
take republican nomination, even if
were it unanimously rendered to him,
on any other platform than one which
should express his personal views con-
corning republican policy in the matter
of national expansion, the expansion
OF territory, the retention of
the Islands acquired by this Govern
ment as the result of the war with
Spain. We do not think the republican
party will attempt to reverse the course
OF history. or relinquish any part Of the
national possessions, for the sake of in-
duciDg HIN to accept a nomination to
Office.
1t was openly stated when Mr.. Reed
resigned bis position as Speaker OF the
House Of Representatives that he was
forced 10 do so by reason of his being
entirely out OF accord with the admin
istration, though he had unwittingly
brought Mr.. Mckinley to the front,
aud it is hardly probable now that this
administration would permit Mr.. Reed
to emerge from his enforced retirement.
Bat all the same Mr. Reed for honesty,
integrity and ability. so far as the re-
publican party is concerned, is head
and shoulders above the LEADERS"

DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN RACE
Extreme temperatures will kill all
mankind. asserts Professor Ludwig
Marienburger. Pb. D., graduate of the
University OF Berlin, who is in Chicago.
He explains this summers excessive
heat on the basis that 10 its annual re.
volution about the SIN the earth is ap.
preaching nearer and nearer to that orb
every summer and getting farther and
farther away every winter. The
ultimsle result will be that humanity
will go through process of baking and

left. He says "sRes may elapse before
conditions become such that no animal
life can survive on this sphere, but that
time is coming"
