The utility of the rattle to the rattle
snake is problem still awaiting solu-
ton. 1t has been supposed to be useful
as paralyzing its prey through terror
excited by the sound thus induced.
But this is a very doubtful explana-
ton. 1t is akin to the notion formerly
entertained that serpents had power
of fascinating other creatures. Others
have thought that it seems to excite
the curiosity of animals and so brings
them within the rattlesnake's reach.
1t has also been supposed that it serves,
as it may do, to enable snakes of diff
ferent sexes to find each other and also
to guard the animal from attack when
it is helpless from its power of offense
having been temporarily exhausted.
No sufficient evidence has, however,
been collected to show that any Of
these ingenious speculations affords us
real clew to the true cause Of such
curious and elaborate mechanism

Definition of Felicity.

A Baptist minister tells the following
story:
"a friend of mine, who is quite
scholar once accepted an invitation to
preach at country church in the south,
and, as was his custom, he used very
learned language. After the service
the pastor of the church said that he
felt sure the members Of the congrega-
tion did not understand the sermon.
'Nonsenser replied my friend. 4 am
sure there was nothing in my sermon
which they could not comprehend
"Well,' said the pastor, 4 will call
one of them in and see If he under
stands the meaning of the word "felic-
ity."' So he called in laboring man
and said, John, can you tell me what
is the meaning of the word "felicityf''
"'Well, don't know, sir said John,
but | believe it is some part Of the in

On my mothers and grandmother's
side am direct descendant of George
and Mary Evans and it is among the
Evans household we must look for sew
eral of the characters mentioned in
George Eiots story of adam Bede."
Thus George and Mary Evans may be
taken as typical of Thias and Isbeth
Bede. Robert Evans is undoubtedly
the original who suggested Adam Bedc.
Samuel Evans the youngest son, was
certainly the prototype of Seth BCde.
George Eliot (AIary Ann Evans) was
the daughter of Adam Bede and the
granddaughter of Thias and Lisbcth.
1t will thus occur to the reader that
in portraying Adam Bede our author
was thinking of her own father and
had the very best reasons for the state
ment concerning her hero that he had
a dash of Celtic blood in his veins.-W.

Among the many costly treasures to
be found in the British museum is the
"Mainz Psalter," the second book
known to have been printed that bears
a date and which is valued at $4,000.
The books printed by CaXton represent
to the museum fortune in themselves,
while the Elgln marbles represent an
enormous value only to be estimated
in millions. The Rosetta stone might
fetch anything from 100000 to f150,-

An Irish harvester found himself In

Mrs. De Bride was entertaining ca.

her husband:

thought they were mine," answered her
husband in a cOnsoling tone.

Thc Evil Eve.

One of the remarkable things about
the superstition of the ''evil eye is
that it is often attributed to whole peo-
pies by others who dislike or hate
them. In ancient times the Thebans,
the Illyrians and the Thracian women
were so regarded. In these latter days
the Christians of Asia Minor have the
same feeling about the Turks and the
Turks about the Christians.

When Roscoe Conkling first began
the practice of law in New York, he
lost a most important murder case on
which he had worked very hard not
only for tha fec, which he needed bad
ly, but for reputation which he had
to make. Despite his efforts his client
was hanged. Later, when he present
ed his bill TO the mans family, they re-
fused to pay il on the ground that it
was excessive. He took the bill to
Charles O'Conor, the great criminal
lawyer, asking him TO pass Judgment
as to the equity Of his charges. O'Con'
or scanned the account very closely and
then, turning to Conkling, very gravely
remarked, "Well, Conkling, taking into
consideration the enormous amount of
energy and time you have devoted to
this case. the charges are reasonable,
but see here, Conkling, don't you think
the man could have been hanged for
less money that that?'

Mr. Editor: In response to numer.
Gus inquiries as to my whereabouts
since l left the goodly village and peo-
pie of NewtOwn, for the development
Of the oil fields of the Hartford Usage
Illuminating Oil Co. near Tulsa, l. T.,
would say, we began on our first well
in January and have since sunk two
more, and are 43O feet deep on No. 4,
with good indications. We have found
in good quantity both natural gas and
oil, and a sample of the latter 1 shall
be pleased to show any who may wish
to see the crude Oil as it comes from
the we'll. We are selling the gas for
fuel under boilers, and in a brick plant,
and in about two weeks we expect No.
4 to be brought in with both gas and
oil. The people of the town are clam
oring for gas for domestic uses, and it
will probably be taken into the town
in the near future. The business men
of the town all say that the finding of
gas by our company has done more to
ever been done. Since my arrival in
Tulsa, l. T., January last, have seen
erected and completed one church,
three large brick business blocks TWO
stories high, one hotel 1OOx5O feet,
three stories, 80 rooms, one wholesale
grocery house, 1OOx4O, new postoftice
building, and at least 100 dwellings,
Besides there are now three or four
other brick blocks in process of cree.
tion. The NJ. K. & 0. railroad COM
pany have also built and put in opera
tiOn their railroad from MuSkogie
through Tulsa and west IA miles, and
real estate has more than doubled in
value all through the town. This ad-
vance is the result, principally, of the
development of natural gas by the
Hartford-Osage Oil Co., last spring.
There have been organized, and are
now in operation, two brick plants,
with daily capacity of $4,000 brick,
and several other industries are now
seeking locations for different kinds of
business, among them large glass
factory. Shall be pleased to explain
further to any one interested.-[M. A.
