JONES' SNAkE-KlLLING PIGS.
The Farmer Trained His RazOrbacks to
Exterminatc Serpents.

The Farmer Trained His RazOrbacks to
Exterm;natc Serpents.
''Talk about snakes" said a resident
of Boston the other day, ''there are
more of 'em to the square acre in Flor
ida than in any other part of this glori-
GUS country. But as numerous as they
are they are not half as abundant as
they were few years ago. before any
organized effort was made to annihi-
late the whole serpentine breed.
''It seems that a bright idea involving
the wholesale extinction of snakes en-
tered the mind of one William Jones,
who up to that time had been poor
farmer struggling to support big fam
ilv. Now he is one of the solid men OF
the county, and he made all his money
bv the successful execution of that
ilea. He knew that the ordinary
razorback hog of Florida was a great
natural enemy of snakes, and he set to
work to Systematically train whole
drove of hogs to hunt down and de-
stroy the reptiles. In little while he
had his swine as thoroughly trained in
their part as setter dogs are drilled to
point quail. He first cleared his own
farm of vast quantity of big ones,
and then he began to hire out his hogs
to his neighbors who were snake-af-
ficted. The fame of those razorbacks
spread all over the land and people
whose places were infested with rat
tlesnakes and men who were clearing
up new land sent for Jones hogs.
''This is no romance, for talked with
Jones himself and he told me all about
it. and exhibited his book of engage
ments, which also contained a rec ord
of all the snakes slain for the last
twelve months l have every reason
to believe he was stating the facts, for
he gave me warm invitation to visit
his place and promises to give an ex-
hibition that would demonstrate the
skill of his snake-killers.

Temperature or Room.

The best dairymen differ in opinions
respecting the best degree of heat for
cheese curing; some place the proper
temperature at 65 degrees, others as
high as s. degrees. AS these are ex-
IRENE points. the best temperature is
between the two, and accords with
other experiments in having the heat
70 or IS degrees Whatever degree of
temperature is determined upon, it
should be kept uniform. Ventilation
should not be neglected, but currents
of cold air should not be allowed to
lass over the cheeses. The rind of
new cheese will check into thousands
of fine sections if exposed but for few
minutes to draught of cold air. The
room should not be kept close. Farm

At the worlds fair the New York dis
play of gooseberrles attracted more at
tention than any other fruit. Many
western visitors had never seen goose
berries before, and were very curious
to know how they were grown. The
gooseberry is probably not adapted to
the very hot summers which prevail
beyond the lake region. The leaf and
fruit are likely to be injured by mil
dew. even in localities where sutatner
rainfall is plenty. Spraying the bushes
with Bordeaux mixture his been found
remedy for this fungus, and this
should insure a largely increased culti-
walton of this fruit. The Cultivator
says that there is always a good de-
mand for gooseberries at paying prices

the Pennell's will probably be called Monday.
 It is said on good authority that the District Attorney will also place in evil dence letter alleged to have been writ ten to Mrs. Burdiok by Arthur R. Pen nell some months ago. The letter was found in the Burdick home when the search of the house was made by the police. In the letter the following occurs.
 T feel that I must kill Ed. Burdick."
 The details of the strained relations be- tween the two dead men were gathered immediately after the murdr of Burdick and before the death of Pennel. Pennell stated frankly to the authorities that the relations between himself and Burdick were strained: very strained After the murder of Burdick Pennell spoke to others than the police of the hostility between him and Burdick. On the day he was first arranging to give out state ment for publication he spoke of part of what he intended to say.
 'It deals with Burdick,' said Pennell, referring to this part of the proposed statement. Some say that it comes with ili grace from me to abuse a dead man, but Burdick was no saint, and when the time comes that I must make a state ment in the newspapers fin defence of ulyStiI WHdt OIneT ncWSpdpSTS dIc printing about me, intend to let people know just the kind of man he was, and then. perhaps, some of them will turn to him little of the time that they are now devoting to pryfng into my affairs. l did not liks him, and he did not like me, and we both knew 1t, and have told the police frankly that we were not on good terms. His death. coming at this time, was one of the worst things that could have happened to me-"
 Notwithstanding all the talk about Pen nell, the police are not cpnsenting calmly to blame a dead man for the Burdick tragedy There are a number of points to be considered before any such branding of dead man becomes a f1nality. or even is accepted as being a part solution of the mystery.
 A rumor was current tonight to the eff feet that Mrs. Maria Hull, mother-in-a law of the late Edwin L. Burdick who was murdered February N, had been seriously injured or was i'll
 Efforts were made to learn the real facts in the case, but all inquiries at the Burdick residence were met by refusals to discuss the matter.
 A young man who said his name was Allen and that he was friend of the family, acted as spokesman. He said:
 q refuse to confirm or deny the story that Mrs. Hull was injured or that she is In other than her usual health, except to say that she Is weakening under the terrible nervous strain to which she has been subjected and not been herself since the trying experience on the witness stand"
 Dr. Marcy, the family physician was not called to tne Burdick home.

You never saw such doln Tn your life as them there geese went through. They're bigger fools than a drunk man on the Fourth of July, and the worst critters for makin' racket that ever lived on earth or in the SKY. My wife she was a member or the Prohib. club and gave me the jiggers for tntoxi- cath, the birds, but 1t was so all-hred funny I don't mind a little thing like

HAVE MAD TIER DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines for Catarrh
 No Longer in Vogue.

For many years past the usual treat ment for catar1'h diseases was with local douches, sprays inhalers and liquid med icines composed principally of alcohol. all of which never cured but simply give the temporary relief and stimulation.
 A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the catar- rhal poisons from the blood
 A new remedy which meets the require ments and which so far has been remark ably successful in curing catarrh is Stu arts Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membrane only.
 They can hardly be classed as a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as blood root, Hydrastin, red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antiseptics combined in tablet form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrane the poisOns of catarrh.
 Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken in formally, allowing them to dissolve in the mouth, thus reaching the throat, tra- chea and finally the stomach. /. If desired they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche, in addi- ton to the internal use, but 1t is not at all necessary to use douche; a few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient However, when there is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give i'm mediate relief, but the regular daily use internally wtll cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the incon- Venience of a douche.
 pr. Bennett stated that the internal treatment of catarrh by means of pleas ant medicated tablets is rapidly taking the place of touches and local applica- tions" and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market Is the Stuart Catarrh Tablets, as no secret is made ot their composition and all the really eff. cient catarrh remedies are concentrated in this tablet"
 Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cts for full sized package, and he will tell you there is no safer. more pal. atabIe, efficient and convenient cataIrt cure known to the trade. thu-sat-su

Pontifr's Contribution to Anniversary
 Prayer in Metrical Latin. New York, March 1s.-A part of his own contribution to the recent celebration of his ninety third birthday and the twenty fifth anniversary of his election as Pope, Leo XII wrote a Latin poem which has been translated for the current number of The Independent. The translation fol- lows:
 Leo. now sets thy sun; pale is its dying
 ray; Black night succeeds thy day. Black night for thee; wasted thy frame;
 lifes flood sustains No more thy shrunken veins. Death casts his fatal dart; rooed for the
 grave thy bones Lie. under the cold stones. But my freed soul escapes her chains, and
 longs in flight To reach the realms of light. That Is the goal she seeks: thither her
 journey fares; Grant. Lord my anxious prayers: That with the citizens of heaven God g
 face and light May ever thrill my sight; That I may see thy face. Heavens S
 Queen, whose mother love Has brought me home above To Thee, saved through the tangles of a
 perilous way, lift my grateful lay.
