The Doe and the Jnckdaw.

In Savernake forest once witnessed q very pretty little scene. l noticed doe lying down by herself in grassy hollow. and as l passed her at dis tance of about fifty yards it struck me as singular that she kept her head so low down that could only see the top of it on level with her back. Walk ing round to get better sight, saw q jackdaw standing on the turf before her, very busily pecking at her face. With my glass was able to watch her movements very closely. He pecked round her eyes, then her nostrils, her throat and in act every part of her face. and, just IS man when being shaved turns his face this way and that under the gentle guiding touch of the barber's fingers and lifts up his chin to allow the razor to pass beneath 1t, so did the doe raise and lowlr and turn her face about to enable the bird to examine ard reach every part with his bill. Finally the daw left the face and, moving round, jumped on the deer's shoulders and began a minute search in that part. Having finished this, be jumped on to the head and pecked at the forehead and round the bases of the ears. The pecking done, he remained for some seconds sitting perfectly still, looking very pretty with the graceful red head for stand, the does long ears thrust out on either side of him.--Birds and Man.

Origin of the RattIesnake Flag

One of the most common devices used on the American flags during the early part of the Revolutionary strug- gle was an embroidered rattlesnake above or below the legend Don't tread on mel"
 The origin of this design has been traced to remark made by Ben Franklin. At the time the flag was adopted, or immediately before, Eng land was shipping her criminals to America and turning them loose on the defenseiess colonists. After sev- eral murders had been committed by these unwelcone immigrants Ben Franklin (some say in Il joking spirit) suggested that the colonists retaliate by sending q cargo of rattlesnakes to the mother country and turning them out in the gardens of the nobes.

HORSEHAlR SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits of These ThreadIilse
 Little SerpentH.L

The "horseLair snakes" are small, flesh colored mites which live princi- pally in stagnaut water. After going through various transformations they come to the surface of the water in the shape of very slender, purplish looking threads. When they reach this last stage, they leave the water and work their way up the stalks and leaves of aquatic plants. When opportunity af- fords, they attach themselves to the feet, legs. wings and other parts of larger insects, often, Gs one authority states, creeping under the wing case of beetles. In the case of the cricket katydtd, grasshopper and other insects of that fix, whose legs are hollow, the tiny horsehair takes the advantage and creeps up the hollows into the very vitals.
 This accounts for the fat and clumsy condition of some individuals of the above named species, single specimens of the cricket having been caught with over two dozen of these threadlike snakes" attached to and inside of their bodies. After heavy rains. which frequently drown crickets and katydids which are weighted down by these parasites, the "horsehair snake" emerges from the carcass of the insect full 1edged miniature serpent. In this mature state he is the delight of the curiosity seeker and mine of study to those who delight to delve in natures bypaths. Those which have been for tunate enough not to have been carried very far from water by the insects which they encountered during life make their way back to the ponds to lay their eggs. They then wrap them selves around the eggs, which soon hatch into the little flesh colored mites mentioned in the opening. About this time the parent snake" dies to make room for its progeny.

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

The amount of blood in the human body is thirteenth of the body weight.
 Sound moves 1,142 feet per second. light 192,000 miles a second and elec- tricity 2SS,000. miles second.
 The rotation of q waterspout at the surface of the sea has been estimated as 354 miles an hour. or nearly six miles minute.
 The suns light is equal to 5,563 wax candles at one foot from the eye. It would take S0O,0OO full moons to equal cloudless sunshine.
 It is probable that the temperature of the moons surface at its midday is 750 degrees F. The drop at night is probably 1000 degrees, to 250 degrees below.
 Vesta is the only one of the smaller planets which can be seen with the na- ked eye. Its diameter is only 300 miles and its whole surface but one-ninth that of Europe.
 Crystallized nitrogen is one of the greatest chemical curiosities. By cool ing nitrogen gas down to 367 degrees below the freezing point and then al- lowing it to expand solid, snowlika crystals are formed.

A Mean Thrust.

"Ten thousand dollars for dogw he exclaimed as he looked up from his newspaper. Do you believe any one ever paid any such price, Maria"
 I'm sure don't know, James," she returned, without stopping her needle work even for a moment. Does the paper say that much was paid"
 "Yes. There's an article on valuable dogs, and it's speaking of one that was sold for $10,000. I don't believe it."
 Tt may be true, James," she said quietly. Some of those high bred an- imals bring fancy prices. and there's no particular reason why the paper should lie about it."
 "I know that, Maria, but just think of it. just try to grasp the magnitude of that sum in your weak feminine mind You don't seem to realize it. S10,000 for dog! Why, hang it, Maria, that's more than I'm worthy
 "I know that, James, but some are worth more than others"
 She went on calmly with her sewing while he fumed and spluttered for a moment and then dropped the subject, especially the weak feminine part of it.

STRONG PULSE BEATS.
Cases In Which They Are Perceptible
 to the Eye.

Tt is not such an uncommon thing" said physician, ito find a person whose pulse beats can be plainly seen, and yet suppose there are but few outside of the profession who realize the fact. In most persons the beat of the pulse cannot be perceived, but the mere fact that the beating is per ceptible does not mean that the pulse is other than normal. have come across number of cases where the throbbing of the wrist could be plainly seen. and yet the persons rarely gave evidence of abnormality in terhpera- ture. They were rarely feverish and were in good physical condition gen. erally. Pulses of this kind. from this view. which is based upon actual ob- servations of cases, do not indicate anything more than an abnormal phys ical condition in the formation of the wrist veins.
 "I have met with one case which was possibly little extraordinary in that it was plainer and much more dis tinct than any had ever seen before. It could almost be heard. The artery would rise to Il point almost as large as the ball of the little finger of child and would change from the white of the skin to q blood purple with each beat of the pulse. l found it easy to count the pulse beats without touching the patients wrist. could see plainly enough to keep tie record. and in order in several ways and found it was cor rect and that there was no mistake in my counting with the naked eye."- New Orleans Times Democrat.

THE SCRAMBLE BEGINS.

The Democrats of Kentucky are SC
vicious IN their fight for office that
they don't seem to care what they
d., Just so they get the offices and the
almighty dollar attached there to. com
mitteeman Meacham, according to
the dispatches, met with the executive
committee yesterday for the purpose
Of determining what to do, whether to
hold a convention or a primary. He
voted on the question, and by every
principle of honor should have been
willing, and intended, to abide by the
result, or kicked out of the commit
tee beforehand and declined TO take
any part whatever in the proceedings.
Instead, after being defeated in the
committee, he FASTENED to get a re-
straining order to prevent the commit
tees carrying out the policy it decided
was best 1t is exactly similar to a
mans going into primary aud vot-
ing and then boiling the ticket because
the man lie wanted was not nominal
ed.
The Democrats Of Kentucky are
out only after the offices, however. In
their scramble they want whatever
will enable or assist them to get them,
nc matter whether it is fair and just or
not. Some of the papers that are now
bowling loudest for a convention were
not long ago bowling just as loudly
against one, and citing as an argument
against conventions the Music Hall
affair. The only reason they changed
was that they think some candidate
or candidates they are for stand a
better chance under a primary than
convention. 1t is a matter of greed
with them. If thing offers more
opportunities to the crowd they want
in office, and from whom they prob
ably expect to get something, they
are for that thing, no matter wheth-
or IL is a convention or primary,
and no matter how unfair or unde-
sirable it may be for the other fell
lows.

TRUTH WILL PREVAIL.

The announcement from Memphis
that the Booker Washington incident
was nothing but fabrication, shows
the president in his true light,
that of great man. he never re-
piled to the hysterical rawlings of the
southern press, which is always I'm
reasonable and bitter, at the time or
any time since. He ignored his cal
uminators, and il remained for Dem
ocrst to expose the falsehood and
show the people of the south that they
are too eager to abuse their political
opponents without waiting to be GER
tain they are right.
General Marcus Wright, who made
the statement at Memphis giving the
alleged facts, is a prominent Washing
tea Democrat, and in response to the
question why the president had nevel
made q denial, replied;
because he is too great a man. He
believed that il was beneath him t
deny a story so palpab ly false, and tina
the truth would in time prevail. 1t
his ambition to be the president of tn
whole people of the United States
