Speaking of snakes" said a mining

on the the face Of this earth to equal
Dutch Guinea in that respect There
they have large snakes and small
snakes, red snakes and green snakes,
amber.colOred snakes and golden
snakes, snakes harmless and snakes
deadly, round-headed snakes and flat
headed snakes. and snakes ranging
through the entire list Of colors from
mud gray to striped orange and red.
"If you are tenderfOot IN the cCun-
try, before you leave Paramaribo for
the gold fields in the jungle the natives
will warn you against the snakes. On
the way to the fields, 400 miles up the
river In a canoe, you can shoot dozen
or more water snakes If you are watch
full. Once In camp and accustomed to
hammock at night you turn 1t inside
out to GUST possible parrot snake that
may have taken kindly to your bed.
During the night If you are called upon
to leave camp you pick your way
along the jungle trail with a lantern
held low to light every inch your feet
| traverse. In the morning when you
come to the embers Of your camp fire
you will find bunch of snakes curled
up around one another to keep off the
chill of the night in the warm ashes.

The Railway and Engineering Re-
view has the following: Some years
ago Mr.. Jerry Sullivan, then Of the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. told of
blowing a bear out of culvert with
sticks Of dynamite. After that no
other railroad bear stories were told
for long time. The Seattle Post-In-
telligencer now relates the particulars
Of meeting between grizzly bear
and a section gang Of the White Pass
& Yukon Railway. which, while per-
haps not as violent in some respects
as the affair In Colorado. will neverthe-
less pass at this period of time. Ac-
cordng to the reporters account the
men were running a hand car around
a curve, when suddenly large grizzly
was seen on the track. The car was
stopped about rails length from
Bruin, when the men jumped off and
gave the car push. When the car
struck the bear he jumped upon it
and held possession while it was get
ting up to speed on q down grade,
when he jumped off and let it 60.
About this time hunter happened
along with rifle, but he had only
two shots left, and as these We're not
well directed, Mr. Bear suited his own
convenience about quitting the right
Of way, but he finally sid-stepped into
the snow and made off. After the af.
fair was over it was up to" the Sec
ton gang to find their car.

Speaking of mad dogs" said man
tribe for the various ailments to which
they fall heir, 1.-The popular belief that
dogs 20 mad because they cannot get a
sufficient quantity Of water is not al
together correct. No doubt lack Of
water at certain seasons Of the year
has a great deal to do with it. Dogs
need a certain quantity Of water, and
they must have it, else they will suffer
that kind Of mental impairment called
rabies. But the most potent factor In
producing rabies, or madness in dogs
is the lack Of meat, the lack Of blood
in the food they eat. The dog Is car
nivorous. He must have meat. His
system calls for certain amount Of
blood food, and when he fails to get
this he Is denied that which Is essen.
tial to his being. More dogs 80 mad
on this account than for any other rea-
son. They are not given the right kind
Of food. l recall one instance Of a
dog in mountainous region in All.
hduSuS tlul Wcul Alt hau
starved on account Of lack Of blood.
Before he became violent, and utterly
crazy, he had attacked a calf and
had fearfully lacerated one Of the
| calf's legs. He was wild for the taste
Of blood. We find in this an explana-
ton Of that ferocity the dog shows IN
the earlier stages Of his madness in
attacking animals Of various kinds.
He is blood-mad. If dog owners would
see to it that the dogs get more blood,
more Of the kind of food the dog ma.
ture demands, there would be fewer
cases Of dogs with the rabies."-New

When the rattlesnake Is excited and
angry you can smell him quarter Of
a mile. He perspires freely in a ner-
vous fit, and the odor Of his cutaneous
secretion fills the air. Curious EMO
tons are produced by odors reminis-
cent Of certain events in ones life.
Each of us has experienced them. Per-
sons afflicted with rheumatism and
govt often suffer the most extraordi-
nary night sweats, and for weeks af-
terward their garments retain an odor
peculiar to the individual sleeping In
them. The most careful laundering
fails to remove it. 1t must gradually
fade away. This leads me to believe
that the odor Of the human skin Is like
unto musk, the power Of which to i'm
part odor is such that polished steel
will become fragrant Of 1t IL the metal
be shut In a box where there is musk.

River Rescue by a Woman.

A rescue that was out of the ordinary
happened in the North River at New
York City, when Mrs. Thomas Simp-
son, with her street clothes on, jumped
in the river and pulled out young
man and boy who We're drowning.
Mrs. Simpson, with her husband, con-
ducts a public bath house near where
the barge Birmingham was moored.
John Campbell, aged four, fell from
the barge into the water, and William
McDermott. seventeen years of age,
who was working on deck, went over
the side after him. The child sank, but
McDermOtt dived after him and seized
him. McDermott rapidly became ex-
hausted and lie began to drift down
stream when Mrs. Simpson went to
their rescue. She did not wait to take
Off her shoes or any of her clothes. but
jumped into the water just as she was
and struck out for the struggling pair.
Coming up to them she got hold Of
McDermOtt with her left hand, and
then made for the pier, McDermott
still holding onto the child. The wOm-
ans strokes We're powerful, and she
tOwed her human burden to the pier
with seeming ease. Young Campbell
was unconscious, but he revived after
DR.. Wolff had worked over him an
hour.
Mrs. Simpson has saved number of
persons from drowning, among them
her own husband.
