Found Big Reptile Choking Old Hen
to Death.
Valdosta, Ga. May 9.-Miss Laura
Palm, a daughter of Mr.. T. J. Palm,
living a mile from the city, had quite
an experience with large snake night
before last. She and her mother heard
the chickens cackling as if in a panic
and they went out to investigate. They
found a large white-oak snake in the
fowl house coiled about an old hen
and choking her to death. The snake
had already killed one chicken and
life was gradually ebbing from the
hen. Miss Palm secured a large stick
and began a battle with the snake.
After few minutes she had the rep
tile conquered and killed. The snake
measured over five feet in length and
was a dangerous looking reptile.

BEAUTY HINTS.

Much of the comfort of sum-
mer centres in the bath tub.
There are many inexpensive aids,
small in themselves, but which
add greatly to the refreshment
of the tub dip.
An addition to the bath of a
handful Of common salt often
proves very refreshing. Sea salt
can be purchased for small
sum. A little ammonia is good,
or boracic acid powder. Simple
tincture of benzoin will aromatic
and soften the water. Very pleas
ant is Lavender lotion, made by
the blending together of four
ounces of alcohol, one ounce OF
ammonia and one drachm of oil of
lavender. Pour into bottle and
sprinkle into the bath.
Bath bags are luxuries but not
expensive ones. From yard of
cheescloth make little bags four
inches square. Fill each oneloose-
ly with the following powder
Two pounds of finely ground
oatmeal, a quarter of pound of
CASTLE soap, dried and powdered;
one pound of powdered orris DOT,
a pound of fine almond meal and
one ounce of violet sachet powder,
Bathing the face in buttermilk
will whiten the skin and remove
tan. Thick, rich cream is also
one of the best cosmetics in the
world, For a cooling lotion the
following is a useful recipe;
One pint Of elderhower water,
half ap ounce of simple tincture Of
benzoin and ten drops of myrrh,
to be used whenever liked.

OPIUM CURSE IN CHINA.

The statement that a German

the hold which the opium curse
has upon the Chinese people. 1t

yer of Nashville.
Nashville has a lawyer who, be-
sides being good lawyer, has a
penchant for hunting up and sol
wing intricate problems of geneal-
ogy. He said to-day that he had
read most of those problems
which annually make the rounds
of the press, but some months
ago he accidentally ran upon one
of the most difficult cases of this
class right here in Nashville, in
the Valentine and Stinnett fami
lies, clients of his. After many
hours of hard work the lawyer
solved, to his own satisfaction, the
family relationship, and he fur
nished reporter with the solu-
tion, as follows, says the Nash
vile "Banner.
Henry Valentine married
Martha Noble They had five
children, one of whom, Cora, mar
ried James Stinnett, and they had
seven children. Henry Valen-
tines first wife died a number of
years ago, and he soon thereafter
married her sister, Fannie Noble,
and they had six children born to
them.
"About three years ago Henry
Valentine died, leaving his sec
ond wife and two sets of children.
About one year ago Cora Stinnett
wife of James Stinnett and
daughter of Henry Valentine,
died, leaving her husband and
seven children. Just one month
thereafter James Stinnett mar
ries Fannie Valentine. James
Stinnett and his wife still live to-
gether with his seven children,
her six children by Valentine,
and her five stepchildren of Val
entine's.

is Mrs. Stinnett to her hus band s
children What relation is Jas.

dren-2 What relation is his chill,
dren to her children and to her
step-children?
"Stinnett is the step-father of
his wife's children; he is also a

they were half brothers and sis
ters of his wife; he is also cous-
in of theirs by marriage because
