Another little trick the snake was

SNAKE IS A WONDER
REMARKABLE REPTILE OWNED
BY ILLINOIS MAN.
Properly Trained, 1t Was Not Only
Pet for the Children but Made
Itself Useful Around
the Farm.

There is record OF a man in
Moultric county, Illinois, who once
caught and tanned small reptile and
made Of II a household pet and play
mate for his children.
This snake was cross between a
rattlesnake and a hoop snake When
captured it measured but about II
inches in length. and its circumference
was in proportion about three ucnes.
However, each day added size strength
and beauty to the reptile, and after II
had been with the Johnstons John

The contest took place on the Criss.

outlaw in the region was first brought
out. 1t took come time TO get sad
die on him. When that was done q
rope was passed through his mouth
and made fast by slipnoose. Taylor
sprang into the saddle just as the out
law sprang into the air. The contest
between the man and the beast was
short Nobody had ever before sue
ceeded in staying long on tho back of
the vicious little steed, and Taylor
was soon unseated.
The outlaw was given a rest and
then Fielding vaulted into the saddle
The winning of a wife depended, as
he believed, upon the issue
The contest went forward in a cloud
of dust and amid breathless excite
ment. Miss Crissman watched it with
flushed cheek and glowing eyes, never
doubling the outcome Forward

TO THE AMATEUR NURSE.
Some Excellent Bits of Advice That
Well Might Be Followed by Pro
fesslcnals as Well.

Never trouble patient with quea
lions about food; the effort of making
a decision Is strain upon an Invalid
The aim should be to provide som'
small surprise at meal times, II posi-
Bile, to stimulate the appetite.
Ii is always unwise TO allow a pa
tient TO get into the habit OF inqurint
what the clinical thermometer regis
ters each time II Is used, A rise II
temperature may make a nervous per
son very uneasy and thereby increase
the fever considerably.
If possible, choose a room facing
south or southwest for sick person
provided it is quiet and away from
street noises. A northern aspect
should be avoided. Do not allow the
bed to face the light as this Is firing
to both brain and eyes.
The bed should not be too broad.
Three feet six inches is wide enough
as ii is then an easy matter to lift
and turn the patient from either side.
The floor of the sick room should
be wiped over every day with a eloth
wrung out in water and some good
disnfectant.
A nurse should take special pains
to be scrupulously clean and neat In
her dress. Trihing details which may
pass unnoticed in ordinary life loom
large on the patients limited horizon.
Remember, too, that amending tact
and patience must be exercised with
a sick person, for WEAKNESS and r.
ritability are the accomplishments OF
illness. especially in the early stages
OF conyalescence.
When talking 10 a patient a nurse
should always stand or sit where the
former has not to strain the eyes in
order to see clearly, few things belng
more irritating than to have to lie In
a twisted position with the head at an
uncomfortable angle, SO as to follow
what is said.
In cases of long illness, the nurse
should spare herself as much as pos
sible, outstanding her strength not
only for the time when her powers
of endurance may be tried to the ut
most, but for the period of con-
valescence, when. perhaps, her untir-
ing service is most in demand by the
invalid.
Rest is very important to the anna
teur nurse, and four hours unbroken
sleep are worth much more TO her
than a whole night of disturbed
anxious slumber 1t is much better 70
divide the night into watches il there
is more than one member of the fam
fly available, than to try TO be more
or less on the qui vive the whole night
Nothing is more annoying to a sick
person than to be discussed in her
presence by one or more of her ANA
teur nurses. and questions as to when
the medicine was given. how much
was last administered. and
Sc on. should be settled out of earshot
Of the invalid.-Brooklyn Eagle.
