HORSEHAIR SNAKES.
Peculiar Habits of These ThreadIike
Little Serpents.

Peculiar Habits of These ThreadIikc
Little Serpents.
The "horSehair snakes" are small,
flesh colored mites which live princi-
pally In stagnant 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, as one authority
states, creeping under the wing case
of beetles. In the case of the cricket,
katydid, grasshopper and other insects
of that ilk, 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
a full fedged 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.

AN ILLUSTRATED VILLAGE.

tittIe Swiss Town One of the Quaint.
est In Europe.
When next you go to the Lake Of
Geneva, by all means pay a visit to
the little known village Of st. Legier,
near by, on the road between vevey
and Blonay, one Of the quaintest vii
lagos in Europe and one Of the proud
est on account of its extraordinary
adornments. st. Legier and the adjoin-
ing village Of La Chiesaz are nothing
more or less than illustrated villages.
They are as profusely illustrated as
the modern magazine, for nearly all
the houses bear on their outside walls
some striking picture or comical carl
cature from the brush of a great man
in the village, NJ. Alfred Begun, a
painter of local renown and not un-
known in Paris, says Pearson's Maga-
zine.
A house in st. Legier has no use for
a signboard to tell the world that 1t is
an inn. cycle shop, forge or dairy.
NJ. Be, -in's picture does that On a
stable wall he draws a picture of q
spirited runaway horse knocking down
men as he leaps for freedom; on the
white wall Of the little village forge
are pictures of men making horseshoes
for dear life and shoeing a frisky
steed; on the wall Of the dairy a dairy
maid balances pail Of milk on her
head. while scenes Of local life, as pic
lures of the annual summer exodus to
the mountain pastures with the cows
and goats, and caricatures of the local
bigwigs make bright picture gal
lery of the village. NJ. Begun lives in
one of the most imposing houses in st.
Legier, whence he obtains a full view
of the crooked little village street and
of the Dent du Jaman towering up in
the distance. For many years past he
has amused himself by painting the
houses, and in the first place he ac-
quired met Is skill and boldness
In painting in this way.-Detroit Free

Naming the Hymn.

A story is told of negro evangel-

chapel formerly used by the Angli-
can church. In a hymnal which had
been left no found an old familiar
hymn suitable for his sermon, but the
Roman number CXIX somewhat con-
fused him, and he was embarrassed as
to how to announce the hymn. As was
the custom, he read the stanzas through,
seeming still confused. He then re-
read the first stanzas, which did not
seem to aid him in helping the congre-
cation. now very much bewildered.

his wife?'
Not exactly" said the witness, with
considerable hesitation. 81 mean to
swear that l saw the prisoner with a

''In what attitude was he them"
asked the presiding Judge
"Well, now, since your lordship has

over his head and his wife on the top
of it."

guilty.-London Chronicle.

Gen You Solve It or Prove That II
Cannot Be soIvedt
At lecture at the Royal institution
on the fascinating subject of Magic
Squares Major P. A. MacMahon, F. R..
g., reminded his audience of the exist.
ence of a curious problem which, de-
spite its apparent simplicity, has never
yet been solved. He commended it to
the attention of any one present who
desired to exercise his ingenuity and
patience.
The problem is as follows: There are
thirtysix officers of six different ranks
and drawn from six different regi-
ments, and it is required to arrange
them in a square of thirty-six compart-
ments, so that In each row as we'll as
in each column there appears an off,
Ger of each rank and also an officer
from each regiment.
Euler'S "Recherches Sur une Nouvelle
Espece de Quarres Magiques," which
appeared in 1882, discusses this prob
Professor Cayley, writing more than a
century afterward, confessed that it
was beyond his powers.
Major MacMahon, who has added so
much TO our knowledge of the theory
of groups-a fascinating branch of
mathematics which has an important
bearing on many branches of physical
science-has not yet found key to the
mystery.
Whoever can solve this problem or
prove that 1t cannot be solved will
achieve Immortality on the lips of
mathematieians and perhaps open a
door into a new realm of the scientific
wonderland which is called pure math-
ematics.-London Post.

CannibaI Trout.

Trout are cannibals, and it is moot
question whether in some waters large
trout should not be Systematically de-
stroyed. Dartmoor fishermen are in
favor of killing them. They say that
fish in their streams of one pound to
two pounds weight are hardly ever
caught by ordinary means and live en-
tirely on their own brethren. A two
pound Devon trout is probably respon-
sible for the death Of several stones

The worlds greatest blessings have

Goethe, Il never had an affiiction

Did II With a Tooth.

A Denver paper told story last week
regarding a former resident OF this city
DR.. G. B. Harlan.
1t appears that company dealing in
dental fixtures held a mortgage on a fine
chair in the doctor office. A deputy
sheriff and an assistant went to the Office
OF the tooth extractor with writ OF re-
plevin to take the chair. They had for.
gotten the very important item of having
= wagon in readiness to take the chair
away. While they were waiting for the
assistant to secure AN express wagon the
deputy sheriff. who had had bad tooth
in his head for some time which was Civ
ing him pain, decided to let DR.. Harlan
extract same while waiting.
1t appears from the story that the
deputy sheriff or officer or whatever he
was had a general horror of the dental
char and only worked up nerve enough
to get into the chair to have the tooth
pulled because in the performance Of his
duties he found himself in the dental Of
fee. By the time he had made up his
mind to have the tooth extracted the as
sistant had returned; but, as the deputy
was in the chair, he decided to have the
tooth removed.
de appealed to the doctor to give him
some gas, but DR.. Harlan said he would
give him some cocaine which would do
as we'll, at the same time winking at the
assistant. Work began and when in full
operation the man yelled as il he was
being murdered, the doctor evidently
giving the tooth some extra twitohes in
payment for the character of tho work
he was doing or was going to do. But
what was the CONSERVATION Of the doc
tor and the assistant, when the tooth
was out of the mans mouth. to find that
he had tainted dead away. 1t took con-
siderable water poured on by tho assist
ant to bring the valiant deputy around
again.
But the sequel to the story is that
while he was coming back to life Harlan
had ruatled around and secured a rede-
livery bond and the deputy could not
take the chair away with him.
