FOE OF THE RATTLESNAkE.
Reptiles of Different Species Kill
Than OF by the Thousands.

EVERY summer | soiouln amoaS the
mountains Of Jackson County, not far
from my home" said Ben Z. Hunt, Il
prominent newspaper man of Hunts
vile, Ala, at the Riggs House. when
| first went there some years ago
stood in mortal dread of the rattle
snakes Which We're said TO infest the
region. The particular mountain on
which my log cabin stood had a
reputation as the habitat Of innumer-
able rattlers, and every morning when
| went forth to shoot squirrels feared
encountering some of the dangerous
reptiles.
"In all the years of my visits to the
mountains l have never yet seen n live
rattlesnake, but a number of them after
they were slain by some of the noun
taineers. The natives do not stand in
much awe of the snakes, for they know
of a sovereign remedy-a certain oil
that has never yet failed TO cure per-
son after being bitten. Every country
man In that mountain keeps a bottle Of
this oil at his home aud one hears many
wonderful stories of the cures it has
wrought.
But worse enemy to the rattle
snake than his human foes is member
of t'lelr own family-the black snake.
| nave come across several reputable
men in the mountains who have wit
messed with their own eyes these
snakes in deadly combat. According
to their unanimous testimony, 1t is al
ways a fight to the death and the black
snake ever comes out victorious. In
fact, II is purely one-sided duel. The
RATHER is no sort of match for his
willy opponent, who glides round ard
round his clumsy antagonist till he gets
either dazed or tired out. Then at the
opportune time the black jumps on the
RATHER, catches him by the back of the
neck and enfolds his helpless victim,
crushing him, boa constructor fashion,
until life is extinct.

seen these strange encounters say they

When Eads was presenting TO tho

sippi River, there was on the commit

Trees Without Leaves.

There are great forests of leadess
trees In Australia. They are aeacias,
or wattles, as some people call them,
and their being leafiess is simply On
to the dry climate. They
have leaves while growing, but when
their growth is complete they shed the
leaves and breathe through the little
stem that remains, because moisture
is too precious to them for the free

vested Funds.

The crown princess of Denmark, who
is now in Paris with her husband, is
not celebrated for her good looks, but
she has the more permanent distinc-
ton of being the richest royal princess
in Europe. Her royal highness was
left by her mother, the late queen of
Sweden, fortune Of 100000 marks
about 100000 of our democratic
dollars-and this legacy, through being
wisely invested, is said to have in
creased to an even more impressive
sum.
And not only is the future queen Of
Denmark distinguished for her wealth,
but she is generally spoken of as the
tallest of European royal women. She
Is over six feet, and 1t has been noticed
during her recent stay in Paris-where.
by the way, both she and the crown
prince are exceedingly popular-that at
no matter what aristocratic function
her royal highness is present, she towers
above ALI the rest of the company in
fashion wonderful to behold.
AS mother of no less than eight chill
dren, she would have the hearty ap-
proval of President Roosevelt, whose
good opinion, by the way, is beginning
to be valued, even by royalties. The
crown princess has four sons and four
daughters, the youngest of them all be-

five ones on the blackboard and writing
beneath the five successive numerals,

q painstaking verbal explanation, she
attempted to test the understanding Of
the little ones by turning to one bright

'Now, Donald, which would you rather
have, five pennies or a five cent piece?"
Five pennies!" Donald promptly re-
pied. "Why, Donald?" asked the teach

sky adds greatly to the happiness Of life,
and that this acquaintance should be
begun in childhood and be developed all
through adolescence and maturity. A
brook, hedgerow, or a garden is an in
exhaustible teacher of wonder, ~rever-
ence and love. We proceed to examine
four elements of culture:
Characteristic moral sense of the
modern world makes character more
important element than it used to be in
the ideal of cultivated man. Now
character is formed, as Goethe said, in
the stream of the world" not in still
ness or isolation, but in the quick-mov-
ing tides of the busy world, the world
of nature and the world of mankind. To
the old idea Of culture some knowledge
of history was indispensable. The ris-
ing generation should think hard, and
feel keenly, just where the men and
women who constitute the actual hui
man world are thinking and feeling
most to-day.
Language.-A cultivated man should
express himself by tongue or pen with
some accuracy and elegance; therefore

THEY CANNOT AGREE.
Sickles and Gordon Again at Front
in War Dispute.
although Now 0 Very Old Man the
New York General Still Manages
to Make His Voice Heard
In the Land.

Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, of New York,
has come to the front again after con-
siderable retirement from the public
view in a strong controversy with the
confederate chieftain, Gen. John B.
Gordon, over the battle of Gettysburg.
Both these brave men know good deal
about Gettysburg, but. unfortunately,
and quite naturally. they don't know
the same things.
To the old timers, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, this temperance of
Gen. Sickles in the arena of civil war
controversy will recall the days when
week without some contribution of the
sort from the doughty soldier was a rar-
fy Of rarities.
Sickles has always like to talk almost
as much as he liked to fight in his
fighting days. He was in the battle of
Gettysburg, and bore himself with dis
tinction there. 1t was one Of the hard
est-fought battles in the worlds his
tory and it was succeeded by the fierce
wordy war that has followed every
great battle.
Perhaps the bitterest discussions
after Gettysburg were those which had
to do with the relations between the
late Gen. Meade and Gen. Sickles, and
for more than 80 years the latter was
almost constantly replying to criticisms
or attacking some one else Who was in
the action. 1t was not until after the
mid nineties that there was any lull in
the controversy worth speaking of, and
the articles published in 1897 and 1898
from the pen of the late Charles A.
Dana, assistant SECRETARY Of war when
the battle was fought, revived all the
old Animosity. Again there was lull

portance in the idea Of cultivation The
conditions of the educated worls have,
however, changed so profoundly since
the revival Of learning in Italy that our
inherited ideas concerning training in
languages and literature have required
large notifications. In the year 14O0
1t might have been said with truth
that there was but one language of
scholars, the Latin, and but two great
literatures, the Hebrew and the Greek.
Since that time, however, other great
literatures have arisen, the Italian,
Spanish, French, German and above all
the English, which has become incom-
parably the most extensive and various
and tho noblest of literatures. Under
these circumstances it is impossible to
maintain that knowledge of any par
ticular literature is indispensable to
culture.
The Store of Knowledge.-In the
eighteenth century a diligent student
with strong memory and quick pow.
ers of apprehension need not have
despaired of mastering large fraction
of this store of knowledge. Long before
the end of the nineteenth century such
a task had become impossible. Culture.
therefore, can no longer imply knowl-
edge of everything-not even little
knowledge of everything. 1t must be
content with general knowledge of some
things, and real mastery of some small
portion of the human store. Here is a
profound modification Of tie idea of cul-
tivation which the nineteenth century
has brought about.
1magination.-The only other element
in cultivation which time will permit to
treat is the training of the constructive
imagination. The educated world needs
to recognize the new variety of con-
structive imagination. lola in La Bette
Humane" contrives that ten persons,
all connected with the railroad from
Paris to Havre, shall be either murder
ers, or murdered, or both, within Is
months, and he adds two railroad slaugh-
tiers criminally procured. The condi-
tons of time and place are ingeniously
imagined, and no detail is omitted which
can heighten the effect of this homicidal
fiction. Contrast this kind of construc-
tive imagination with the kind which
conceived the great wells sunk in the
solid rock below Niagara that contain
the turbines that drive the dynamos,
that generates the electric force that
turns thousands of wheels and lights
thousands of lamps over hundreds OF
square miles Of adjoining territory; or
with the kind which conceives the send
ing of human thought across three
thousand miles of stormy sea instan-
taneously, on nothing more substantial
than ethereal waves. There is going to
be room in the hearts Of twentieth cen
fury men for high admiration for these
kinds of imagination, as well as for that
of the poet, artist or dramatist.
