CABBAGE SNAKES.

Snakes In cabbage Is the latest, A
Tennessee contemporary says the fear
OF cabbage snakes has become so acute
In some parts OF the state, that the
vegetable cannot even be given away.
The story goes that while farmers
wife was preparing a cabbage for dim
ner she discovered snake In the bud.
She had trimmed It down TO the thick
ness Of a mans thumb but decided to
go further ON splitting the bud she
found the snake. which was placed on
exhibition in Huntsville, The snake
was about IL inches long and white. It
was no larger than an ordinary coarse
thread. Two deaths have been attrib-
uted to cabbage snake poison, In one
family a child had been left in the
keeping Of the cook, who had allowed
II to eat some cabbage soup, as a re-
suit Of which the child died. When ac-
cused OF having put poison in the soup
the woman TO prove her innocence
drank some Of the mixture herself, her
death following soon afterward.

Language of straw.

The observer who comes from the
north of England Will end that at one
time servants wishing to be hired used
to go into the market place of Carlisle
with a straw in their mouths. Amber
son in his Cumberland ballads says:
AT Carel stud VII strae i my mouth.
The weyveS com roun me in clusters;
What weage dus tie ak, canny lad?' says
yen.
The ancient practice OF placing a
straw between the ears of q horse
which was for sale is a variant of the
same custom. Then in fel1dal times
possession Of 4 tief was conveyed by
giving straw to the new tenant. If
the tenant misconducted himself the
lord disposscssed him by going to the
threshold of his door and breaking q
straw. saying as he did so, las break
this straw SO break 1 the contrac ct
made between u.s." Another obvious
use of the sign language OF straw was
it's display at Il wedding when the
bride was q widow.---London Chron-
icle.

The Tooth of n Rat.

One of natures finest implements is
the tooth of q rat. Its edge is as hard
and sharp as the finest steel. The rat
keeps in constant practice To Snaw
off the legs Of Il living bird does not
come amisS, and to destroy the soles
of elephants feet is one of its records.
Some years ago the elephants at the
London geological gardens We're OBJ
served to be very restless, could not
keep still and appeared tender about
the feet. The authorities invoked the
aid of Frank auckland, the naturalist.
BE traced the circumstance to rats.
At night they stole from their runs
and as the elephants slept calmly nib
bled and tore at the huge feet. The
ouickS had been eaten completely of
the mighty nails and the flesh beneath
tunneled. Apparently similar tricks
had been resorted to in the case of the
hippopotamuS, for several times rats
were found where the creature had
turned in his sleep and crushed his
small enemies beneath his tanks
