About Snakes.

Out of one hundred and sixty odd
species of serpents in America
north of Mexico only about twenty
are venomous; the others are about
as harmless as so many kittens, and
may be handled with impunity.
Last year I caught with my bare
hands several large black snakes, a
number of garter snakes, three milk
snakes, two green snakes, or grass
snakes, two water snakes and sew
eral Others, and although some of
them-bit me, the effects we're of less
consequence than as many bramble-
scratches.
An irritable serpent, but a per-
fectly harmless one, is the water
snake, which will usually be found
in or near the water, perhaps swim
ming among the stems of the pick
erel weeds, in pursuit of frogs, or
possibly coiled up on the bank. This
snake will bite, and bite hard, but
it is not venomous in the least. It
does not lay eggs, but brings forth
it's young alive. Last September /
caught a fine specimen, and carried
her home. Between noon and four
o'clock she had nineteen little ones.
They were irritable youngsters from
the start, and almost as soon as they
were born they would coil and leap
at my hand, with their little jaws
wide open.
All our snakes live on animal food
the larger ones feed on small mann,
mails, birds, frogs and reptiles, and
the smaller ones on insects. They
swallow their prey whole, the bones
of their heads being so loosely put
together that they can stretch theil
mouths to an enormous extent. J
have seen a milk snake twenty-seve1
inches long swallow a fully fedgeC
young cat bird.
Most of the venomous serpents IL
this country are rattlesnakes, Of
which there are many differen.

Queer Little Chemists on Clover Roots.

Queer Little Chemists on Clover Roots.
If you pull up, a clump of clover,
and shake off the soil, you will see
that there are many little white
punches on the roots. Each is not
much larger than the head of a pin.
Perhaps you will call them "little
potatoes" the scientists call them
root-tubercles. Each of these tuber-
cles is a laboratory within which
thousands of microscopic bacteria
are at work. These tiny bacteria
take from the air, in the soil around
the roots, one of the gases called
nitrogen, and change this into food
for the plant. It is not known just
how they do this, but it is plain that
the clover thus furnishes a home for
the bacteria. The scientists have
proved that the bacteria make food
for the clover. The clover, in this
manner, gets more food from the
air than from the soil. The farmer
can harvest a good crop of clover
rich in nitrogen, and leave the
ground, by the decaying clover roots,
richer than it was before. Of course
if he plows in the entire clover
plants the ground will be much rich
er than if he leaves only the roots to
decay. He can plant corn or SOW
wheat on the field, and it will get
the benefit of the food of decaying
roots or stems gathered from the air
by the little clover chemists.
A few other plants have similar
root-tubercles containing bacteria
with the power of gathering food
from the air. Among such plants
the best known to our young folks
are peas and beans.
You can easily see the tubercles
without the aid of even a simple
microscope. Perhaps your science
teacher, or some other grown-uI
friend with the use of high-powel
lenses in a compound microscope
will show you the tiny bacteria in the
tubercles.
The bacteria are really plants
Thus the microscopic plants and the
big plants are mutually helpful
Botanists call them messmates.-

The cry of the loon is one of the
strangest, weirdest sounds in nature.
Those who have heard it can scarcely
wonder that it has SO often been woven
into song and legend.
A blood red ring hung round the moon,
Hung round the moon. All, me! All, mel
/ heard the piping of the loon,
A wounded loon. All, mel
And yet the eagle feathers rare
l, trembling, wove in my braves hair.
Almost all writer's who have attempt
ed to describe the cry of this bird have
likened it to unmirthful laughter.
Thus Mr.. Vernon Bailey, speaking of
the sound, describes it as follows: "On-
ly on the lonely lake in the heart of the
woods do you get the startling thrill of
the looms wild cry-one clear, piercing
note or long, quavering, demoniacal
laugh that to the timid suggests a herd
of screaming panthers."

1.he Dog In EKxpt.

In Egypt the dog was a friend aud
faithful servant He lived in the house
with hts master, followed him in his
walks, attended the public ceremonies,
sometimes free, at other times held in
leash by a slave or child or in princely
families by a fayorite dwarf. At his
meals he had his place marked under
the benches of the guests. AS in
Greece and Rome, he was there to dis
pose of bones, the fragments OF meat
and the pieces of bread that were
thrown down and in a general way to
keep the dining room clean. These were
certainly not very refined fashions, and
Ii our house dogs had to satisfy them
selves in this way they would lbe likely
to dieof hunger
The ancients did moi feel tine delicate
tastes and disgusts in such matters
that experience. Their life present
ed excessive refinements and rude fea
lures of which we have no idea side by
side The house dog in Egypt was q
domestic, working at his trade, only
his trade was one IN which we have
ceased to employ him.

In olden times when a jury In Eng
land remained impervious to the judges
gentle mode of persuasion fine and Inn
prisonment were resorted to. The jury
that acquitted Sir Nicholas Throck-.
morton was condemned to eight
months Imprisonment in addition to
the payment OF large sum of money.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth jury,
having reduced a prisoners alleged
crime OF murder to that Of manslaugh-
ter, was at once sent to prison and
bound over in a large sum to be of
good behavior. Penalties were like
wise inflicted upon the innocent wife
and children of the offending jurymen.
Even now it is believed by some legal
authorities that a judge has the right
to infiict fine upon a juryman refus-
ing to obey his directions Such power
lis, however, not exercised except in the
case of a juror absenting himself with
out justifiable cause. OF this prac-
tice there is the following story: A
Judge had fined a juryman for nonat-
tendance. On hearing that he had been
unable to be present because of his
wife's funeral the Judge, whose wife
was said to BE not of particularly
gentle nature, exclaimed: Has hei

-aheatricaI Notes.

The '"S0ng of the Cities" the MOST
unique of the many novel features of
the -"Prinee of PilSen," the merry
Pixley and Luders musical comedy
that is enjoying prosperous run at
the Broadway Theatre, has proved
such a popular conception that
Henry w. Savage, the producer of
the piece, shauld have secured some
kind of a copyright. The song and
the accompanying dances are so
popular with the audiences that
some members of the profession are
already initiating both the muSie and
the business. Since Miss Harriet
Burt was selected to play the part
of the typical New York girl, there
have been no complaints that Miss
Burt does not satisfactorily typify
Miss Gotham. 1t will be remembered
that Miss Burt was selected from "a
list of over four hundred applicants.

main in his present quarters for

cnt or Their Hair.

A procession of the unemployed that
took place in London in 1764 did not
meet with any great success or public
sympathy. In that year wigs went out
of fashion, and the wig makers of Lon
don were thrown out of work and re-
duced to distress. They petitioned
George III. to compel gentlemen to
wear wigs by law. AS the wig makers
went in procession to st. James to pre-
sent their petition it was noticed that
most of those persons who wanted TO
compel either people to wear wigs wore
no wigs themselves. This striking the
London mob as very inconsistent, they
seized the professionals and forcibly
cut off all their hair.-London Express

IN A DUTCH GARDEN.

The "YelI0w Bed" and Some of the
Bright blossoms In 1t.
The Dutch garden is to be filed with
ANIMALS for the most part, at least this
first year. Many good ANIMALS that we
have not hitherto had room for are tc
be grown here. One of the four square
large center beds is to be devoted tc
orange and yellow flowers. In this let

nuals which are not quite so commoB

The yellow bed is to have an edging
OF eschscholtzia or California poppy
This is very common annual, to be
salre, but it has many merits which
commend it for a somewhat dry and
sunny spot. To obtain the best plants
of these they should be sown as early
as possible. Perhaps it is not generally
known that there are several species of
eschscholtzia, all well worth planting
Besides Eschscholtzla california; there
is E. crocea, which is, believe, dis
tinct species. Its variety called Man
DARN is a very fine kind, forming a
compact plant which bears rich, red
dish orange flowers in profusion. Then
there are the double forms of Esch-
scholtzia crocea, which are exceeding
ly attractive. Another variety called
Satin Blush is good sort and has
large, saucer shaped blooms which are
silvery white, tinged outside with rose.
EschscholtZia revel in hot sunshine and
bloom continuously from July until
late in the fall,
Some lantanas of cream, orange and
sulphur yellow shades are under way
for this yellow bed. Lantanas are very
useful for the fall garden and are east
| Iy raised from seed or cuttings. They
can be started in February under glass

the greenhouse. They are noteworthy

GOOSEBERRY BUSH.
before and after pruning

canes already present or as new shoots
arising from the crown of the bush.
The new branches on the old canes
will produce fruit from their lateral
buds ithe year following the one in
which they develop. The new shoots
from the crown will become fruiting
canes when two years old if allowed
to grow. The new branches on a com
paratively young cane are much stron-
ger than chose on an old cane. AS soon
as a cane shows signs of weakening it
should be removed and new shoot
left so deveSop into cane TO take its
place. If the bush is in normal condi-
lion, the number of young shoots left
should be just equal to the number of
old canes removed.
A symmetrically pruned gooseberry
bush viii consist of from six to doz.
en- or SO canes of all ages from one to
about five years. and there will be APP
proximateIy an equal number of canes
of each age.
In addition TO the cutting away of
old canes and superfuous young
shoots the young wood on the old canes
that are left is Trimmed ont and headed
in. The branches which are left are
shortened back TO from eight to twelve
inches. AZ new shoot which is to be left
to develop into cane should be head
ed back to a height Of from sixteen to
twenty inches says an American Agri-
culturist writer whose plan of pruning
is given above.

Miniature Trees.

The japanese art of making minia-
ture landscapes and gardens consists
chiefly in starving the plant so as to
retard the circulation of it's sap or life
giving juices. Furguson, who was one
among the first of English adventurers
to visit China and Japan, mentions
the fact that he saw at Canton "a boxe
about the bigness of ladyes snuffe
box. which did not containe a littyl
dirt and sixteen tiny littyl trees, foure
of which were in full blow, the whole
boxe, trees and all so small that man
