H. b. Waters, of this city owes her
life to the devotion and rare presence
of mind of her mother
/ Mrs. Waters and her daughter were
on a visit to the home of Mrs. John
McMakin. Mrs Waters mother. on a
farm few miles south of Dixon, Mo.
Mrs. Waters was sitting on the veran-
da of the house, talking with her
mother, while the little girl played in
the garden.
For moment the child wandered
around the corner of the house and
was out of the sight of its mother.
Suddenly the screams of the child
brought Mrs. Waters to her feet in
terror. She ran around the house and
found Gertrude on the ground and
close to her Il snake coiled striking
at her repeatedly. Its head shot for
ward with deadly precision, but its
fangs, by good fortune. did not enter
there would be a different tale to tell.
The mother dashed at the snake,
which glided away. and she grasped
her daughter up and ran to the house.
There mother and grandmother barred
the ehilds leg. and above the shoe top
fouod three punctures in the tender
flesh where the snakes fangs had en-
tered.
Without hesitation Mrs. Waters ap-
piled her lips to the wounds and drew
forth the poison. AS she spat it out it
was discolored with the venom, which
had hardly had time to enter into the
circulation.
Time and again she sucked the
wounds, until she was exhausted by
the effort and the emotion the terrible
event had caused, when her place was
taken by her mother.

phoned for, but before they arrived

I have seen a lark rise from his bed
of grass, and soaring upwards, sing
ing as he rises, and hopes to get to
heaven, and climb above the clouds;
but the poor bird was beaten back
with the loud sighings of an eastern
wind, and his motion made irregular
and inconsistent, descending more at
every breath OF the tempest, than it
could recover by the vibration and
frequent weighings of his wings, till
the little creature was forced to sit
down and pant, and stay till the storm
was over; and then it made a prosper
Gus flight, and did rise and sing, as If
1t had learned music and motion from
an angel, as he passed sometimes
through the air, about his ministries

ADVICE FROM I FIRE CHIEF.
Best Things to Do When Caught in
q Burning Building. ssz.

Chief Crocker, of the New York
fire brigade, offers the following ad-
vice as to conduct in case OF an out
break of fire..
Keep cool; no matter how hot
everything around you gets, retain
a COOL calm equilibrium, and you'll
come out all right. ;
"Send in the alarm Immediately;
do not take it for granted that some
one else has rung up the ire de-
partlnent. .%s :.
Fight the fire yourself before the
f1remen arrive. Very few fires, if dis.
covered at the outset are beyond the
control of the people on the premises,
If only quick, intelligent action is
taken. Fight the flames with pals
of water; smother them with rugs
and blankets; beat them out with wet
>brooms.
'Block the spread of fire. If the
burning room or rooms can be shut
off from the rest of the building, it
will take considerable time for the
fire to spread. Shut all doors, tran
SONS and windows opening on shafts,
and, if possible, those to the exterior.
BY closing up the burning rooms you
prevent draughts, and cut off a new
supply of oxygen. The fire, after ex-
hausting the oxygen, will only smoul-
der.
Never ascend to the upper stories
OF burning building. The upper
are always the most dangerous. The
smoke, superheated air and poisonous
fumes which it is death to inhale, COL
1ect first in the top of the house. Fire,
spreading through building, burns
straight to the roof, usually by way
OF the halls and stairways, and then,
widening it's course, eats back to the
stories below. The lower floors are
the safest in time of fire.
"Never try to climb up the stairs to
the roof, and never open the scuttle.
A hole through the roof to the open
air would serve as a chimney, and
magnify the conf1agration almost in
credibly.
Keep out of the halls: The safe
way to await the arrival of the fire.
| men is in room as low down in the
building as you can get without risk
OF smsAe-laden halls. Shut all doors
and transoms in room in which you
stay, and open the windows wide to
keep the air cool and pure. If smoke
breaks in, lean out of the windows.
BE careful not to get excited, and
not to breathe in the hot, smoking at
| mosphere.
Make your way from the building
II the fire is dangerous, and you can
escape without Drawing too great heat.
A wet towel held over the mouth and
nostrlls will enable you to live in an
otherwise deadly atmosphere But
unless the fire spreads into the room
! you are occupying it is best to wait
| for outside help.

Where Slang Was Needed.

1t was a language lesson, and the
teacher had considerable trouble in
making the boys understand the use
of the word acceptance" He tried
several words, calling upon his bright
boys, but their explanations always
left feeling of uncertainty among
other members of the class.
It was quite clear that this word
does not form a part of an ordinary
boys vocabulary, and to have it under
stood it must be related to q word
which does belong there. Here was
the psychological moment to use slang.
Boys" said the teacher, what is
the general acceptance of twenty
three?'
"Skidoo!" was the prompt answer
by the whole class. The meaning of
the word became clear at once.

An,usen1ents For Big
And Little Children
A Little Paint and Paper, with Some
Ingenuity, All That Is Necessary
at "7utterfiy Party"

Every one loves butterflies, and the
amusement of making them herein
described is a favorite sport among
art students, but anyone can enjoy
it with very little trouble.
All that is required is a few tubes
of oil colors-red, vermilion, lake, CO.
bait, white, yellow and green, and a
few sheets of plain note paper and
some dull fruit knives.
Each piece of paper should be fold.
ed in half, straight down the middle,
the fold we'll creased, and the paper
then opened. One carrying the tubes
of colors then sQueezes a tiny speck
of several colors on each paper, close
to one side of the fold and midway be-
tween top and bottom, so that tho
paint is on the inside, between tho
two halves.
The players then take the fruit
knives and with the dull edge press
upon the paper over the fold and tho
paint, working the latter upward and
outward toward the edge of the paper
to make the wings of the butterfly.
The paper may be held to the light,
every now and then, to see how the
paint is being worked, so that the
knife may be guided Alright.
When the top wing is formed in
profile the knife should be worked
downward on the paper to form the
lower wing, a little smaller than the
upper one. The more paint put in
the fold the easier it will be to get q
beautiful result.
When all have finished and the pa
pers are opened in each will be found
gorgeously colored butterfly with
wings widespread ready for flight.
No two will be alike, Tor even though
the same colors are used the different
amount of pressure made by the
knives will cause the paints to blend
in different ways.
A pretty use to put these butterflies
to is to let them dry thoroughly, and
then make Of them border for pic.
ture frame, or :aado around the
walls of "den." IT. so much color ia
not desired, a beautiful effect may
be had by using only white paint on
tinted paper, the tint being selected
to blend with the other paper on the
walls.

Simple Rules for the
Proper Care Of Pets
Observation and Precautions Neces-
sary to Keep Them Perfect in
Health and Beauty.

Never have your canary in the
room while it is being swept or
busted" as particles Of dust in the
air will have very injurious effect
on the birds voice.
A very injurious habit often con-
tracted by seed-eating birds is that
known as "twirling." They turn and
twist the head and neck so far back
that they lose their balance. When
ever a bird does this the best plan is
ito cover it's cage so that it cannot see
any above it, as it is because 1t
catches sight of objects overhead that
the habit is induced. j..
! Water-plants not only greatly add
TO the beauty of an aquarium, but they
also save it's owner good deal OF
trouble in the end. They give out the
oxygen which the fish require and
keep the water fresh, so that it is only
necessary to change it two or three
times year for the purpose of clean
ing and rearranging the various OBJ
bects in the tank +
Complaints are often made of rab:
bits destroying their hutches by gnaw.
ing the woodwork till 1T will scarcely
hold together. Their natural instinct
teaches them to do this to keep. their
sharp teeth in good condition. To pre-.
went it give them a stick to gnaw and
they will leave the hutch alone.
The cat is a better observer than
the dog. Cats are frequently known
ito initiate human actions; to let them
selves in or out by raising latch or
drawing a bolt, and to obtain admis'
sion by ringing bell or knocking
with the knocker, this being the re-
suit of their own observation. Dogs,
lon the other hand, though they may
be trained to perform these actions
as tricks, very seldom, If ever, do
them of their own accord. ,@et -.
The quality and quantity of silk pro-
.duced by your silkworms will all de;
pend on how you feed them. Too
much food should not be- given at
once, but they should never be left
entirely without at any time during
the day or night. You must therefore
watch carefully to get an idea OF
their appetite, and provide according
Ily. Fresh mulberry leaves are the
proper food for silkworms, but If at
any time these are not procurable
young lettuce leaves are the best sub
stitute, but they are only stopgap:
silkworms cannot live for a long
period without their natural food.

Where Women Cannot Be choosers.
In a town near Atchison this hap
pened: A young man of good posi-
ton admired young woman and pro-
posed marriage. The man was dis
tasteful to the young woman but she
had nothing else offering, and finally
accepted him. There was no love in
the match, indeed, there was actual
distaste and aversion on one side.
There is good deal of discussion
as to the woman's action. Some peo-
pie say she sold herself. But others
are more charitable and say she did
exactly what hundreds OF women do.
It is the misfortune Of women that
they must take what is offered them;
a woman cannot pick out the one she
loves best and propose marriage
