A hAffLEK'S BITE.
its Lightning Rapidity Sometimes Pre-
vents Fatal Results.


its Lightning Rapidly Sometimes Pre-
vents Fatal Results.
1t may seem absurd to claim that
there are cases where the bite of a
rattlesnake is rot fatal, yet such
have happened, and to understand
these it is necessary only TO under
stand the manner in which this rep
tile strikes. The spectacle Of a rat
tlesnake at bay is one a beholder
never forgets. The great, long body
lies coiled in a tense spiral, the very
embodiment of wickedness. Poised
in air, the white bellied fore body is
bent into a horizontal S, rigid as an
iron bar. Raised from the middle
Of the spiral is the tail, quivering
like a twanged banjo string and
emitting a rattle ike steam escaping
from the pet cock of a radiator or
like the sound Of a moving machine
in a distant bayfield,. Awe inspiring,
the dread, fiat, triangular head, eyes
cleaning black and cold as icy steel,
is ready to strike As the grew
some mouth opens wide and pink,
the long, thin poison fangs arise
from a horizontal position and stand
upright like a pair of slender, curv-
ed, needle pointed shad bones, ready
for business.
Like flash, far too quick for the
eye to follow, the snake strikes,
sending home its fangs an inch OF
two, and in that same fraction of
an instant he has squirted a table
spoonful Of canary yellow, yiscous
fluid into the wound and lies coiled,
ready for a second attack. In this
incomprehensively swift attack lies
the answer why sometimes the bite
of a rattler is not fatal, for so Won
derfully swift is the attack that a
bite may be imperfect, leaving only
a pair of tiny needle punctures, with
Just enough venom to make a victim
seriously i'll. Another reason why
a rattlesnake's bite is not always ia
tai is that temporarily the reptile
may be without venom. The snake
may have exhausted its poison on a
previous enemy, in which case il
would have to wait several days be-
fore the deadly fluid has re9ccumu-
lated, or, again, the viper's fangs
may have suffered accident. They
may have been broken off and re-
quire time for new growth. In any
case, certain it is that a rattlesnake's
poison applied in the proper way
will do its work, and then only the
most expert and prompt assistance
will save victim.

ola Time Extrnvagnncen.

We hear a great deal about the lux
ury aud extravaganza Of the age; but.
when you think Of II, great many of
our most reckless fashions date from
past centuries. In the fifteenth centu-
ry, for instance. the feminine ward
robe was magnificent, with It's gar
ments weighed down with laces and
embroideries IN guipure, points coupes,
Aiilanese aud Venetian, not forgetting
the gold embroideries worked with pre-
cious stones, etc.
For several centuries women wore
white shoes in kid and ordinary leather
as well as dainty ehaussure in en-
broidered satin for dancing the pavanC
and minuet IN,
In the time Of Louis XIV. the wo
men wore most sumptuous lingerie
and dessous made chiefly Of what used
TO be called les dentelles dete, a kind
of silk blond lace with a cord in IL
which used to be mounted over color:
for the petticoats and was also worn
for the hanging sleeves which used tC

strana. r.r.n oI Insanlty.

The whole world is crazy in one
direction or another. A perfectly
sane person is a miracle-that is, a
violation of the laws of nature. I
know of a retired millionaire in New
York, aged seventy, who married a
sweet young woman of twenty-three.
That in itself is not extraordinary
or even criminal. The wife is the
most patient of creatures, humoring
the venerable husbands every whim.
He is as crazy as a loon, or two looms.
He imagines he is a bird, and his
nightly diversion is to stick a bunch
of feathers in the hem Of his pa
jamas and prance about the room,
growing and tapping his wings,
while his wife from her coy corner
cries encouragingly: "Pretty bird!
Pretty birdl Pretty birdp This
foolishness is kept up until he falls

" entertained in the drawing room by

the use and abuse of tobacco, when
Mrs A. said:

tobacco in all its FORMS"
Shortly after, Charles and his father
having come in to dinner, / noticed
Mrs. A. get up and carefully remove
her sons coat to a peg on the hall rack
quite distant from his fathers. After
dinner Mr.. A. and 1 went to keep an

Charles smoking a cigarette.

dressed her grace in the following

coddIe Themselves Too Much.

Old people often make the mistake
Of coddling themselves too much, says
a physician in What to Eat. Thus
they cause a weakening of the vital
forces before the advance Of age has
done so. Nature never intended that
a man should be put into a dollhouse
at sixty and kept there as a delicate
plant. Too much solicitude about the
health OF such a person may be the
actual cause Of death. The vitality
Of the person may be somewhat lessen
ed at sixty, but the man or woman
whose health has received a = fair
amount Of attention is not by any
means ready to be shelved at that age.
All that is required is a little lessen
ing of the burden OF life and a little
more care OF the health.

Hard Water.

When hard water is boiled a great
part Of the salts in solution are
thrown down, but owing to the vio-
lent motion Of the boiling water
they rise from the bottom Of the
vessel and adhere to its sides. Quite
often from two to three ounces by
weight of hard, scalelike saline mat
ter will be found on the inside of
kettle. Some Of this gets broken
away when water is boiled and is
poured into the tea. If on lifting
the lid Of a boiling kettle you see
the water turbid it is quite unfit to
drink, for there are salts in suspen-
sion-not in solution-and these
suspended salts are highly injurious.

ing to rain by the way the wind blows.

The sunnower.


II has always been said, how truly
we do not positively know, thas the
sunnower turns its face ever toward
the sun; that 1t bows a genial welcome
TO the king OF day when that monarch
drst lifts the curtain Of night and peeps
over the horizon upon an awakening
world, and that it follows the imperial
visitor IN his majestic march ACROSS
the heavens and mods a good night to
him as he passes with his retinue Of
golden beams and silvery shadows be-
bind the western slopes. This may be
an exaggeration OF the sunhower's
conduct, but we believe It is at least
partially true, and that the Kansas
flower does respond in some degree to
the attractions Of the great luminary.
Anyhow, the thought of this handsome
product Of the prairies turning its
frank, open face ever toward the light
and responding 10 the ardent wooing
Of the sun with reciprocal affection Is
inspiring, isn't III It is a symbol Of
the ideal soul-the soul that loves the
light, that glows in the presence Of
things that are lovely, the receptive
soul, the soul that is responsive TO
truth and beanty-in word, the sun
flowers soul-Marion CKan) Record.
