There are plenty Of remedies by which
You can relieve for the time heartburn,

A REVOLUTION.

An authority who has been making
exhaustive Investigations OF the stu
alton in Russia has this to say:
II believe a real revolutionary at
tack upon the government will be
made during the coming winter. All
classes are combining and the provis-
ional governors do not know what TO
do.
where recently there has been muir
derous shooting at unarmed crowds IL
has been the size of the crowd and
hatred and defiance of everybody in
them that had put the police chiefs in
a panic.
in short, II is bloodshed, not the
reform agitation, that is coming
straight to the front.
Human nature every day dominates
more and more all the political pro
gram, and its first demand is the de-
struction of the present system, in
Guiding the killing of as many as pos
sible of those who belong to 1t.
Civil war is what they want, and
what makes the outlook so red is that
both sides are without leaders. Even
the zemstvo Liberals, who regret Ii
most, admit that the whole political
agitation is rapidly turning into an ac-
emulation of revolvers, bombs and
rifles"

Roumanian Hospitality.

The Roumanian peasantry lead a
very simple life. The principal dish
at each meal is the maize-cake. Each
person in his turn breaks off small
portion for himself Besides this,
each takes a couple of onions, a small
bowl Of beans, a slice of watermelon,
few plums and a draught of water.
To this frugal meal is hidden any la
borer or wayfarer who may look as
though he had no dinner. Roumanian
hospitality knows no limits. u have

SNAKE HAS NOT MUCH BRAIN.
wisdom Of the Serpent" Said to Be a
DeIusion.

DeIusion.
"The wisdom of the serpent is
delusion," said James Z. Peck. OF
Nashville, to a representative OF the
Milwaukee Free Press. He has little
or no brains. learns nothing from ex-
perience and is powerless to resist or
overcome the wiles OF his enemies. He
does not attack man and rarely offers
combat TO other serpents or animals.
Various snakes have enemies which
they dread and avoid. The rattlers
fear the little king snake, a small
green reptile which hunts for rattlers
and strangles them when found. 9th
ers fear the razorback hog, which runs
about the Southern swamps in search
of snakes, which he destroys and eats
by the wholesale He has a prefer
ence for rsttlers and mocacsins, TO
whose poison he seems invulnerable.
The most implacable enemy of the
snake is the industrious ant. When
a snake is hurt or bruised he sloughs
his skin, and then 1t is goodbye to
him, for the ants soon overwhelm him
and eat him alive. Even a perfectly
sound and healthy snake which has
come in contact with a dead or in.
jured member of his tribe suffers a
similar fate if the ants find it out"
