Rattlesnake oil is preserved and pre-
pared very carefully for use as a lini-
ment in some parts of the world.
Rheumatism and sore joints are the
ailments in which it is chiefly en-
ployed. The fat is taken from the
dead reptile and laid upon a cloth In
the hot sun, from which the filtered
oil drips into jar. From fear that
the reptile may be bitten itself the
clear oil is tested by dropping por-
ton of it into milk. If it floats in one
globule it is regarded as unaffected
II it breaks into beads and curdles the
milk it is judged to be poisonous and
thrown away.-Montreal Standard.

"ln God We Trust" Suggested by q
Maryland Farmer.
To an honest, God fearing farmer of
the state of Maryland is due the mot
to, "In God we trust which appears
on the coinage of the United States.
In 1861, when Salmon 2. Chase was
secretary of the treasury. he wrote to
him that as we claimed to be Chris
tan people we should make some suita-
BILE recognition of that fact on our
coinage.
The letter. was referred to James
Pollock, director Of the mint, who dis
cussed the matter in his report for
1862. Congress was apathetic, and
Chase mentioned 1t to the lawmakers
agsla i asss;
."Ihs motto suggested, In God our
trust is taken from our national
hymn, The Star Spangled Banner
The sentanent is familiar to every citi-
zen of our country. 1t has thrilled
millions of American freemen. The
time is propitious; it's an hour of ma
tional peril and danger, an hour when
mans strength is weakness, when our
strength and salvation must be of
God" ....---.>~.

Andrew Iaokson,a Education.

During each winter for two or three
years after he had reached the age Of
seven Andrew Jackson was sent to the
old field school of a Mr.. Branch. After
this lie attended the select school which
Presbyterian preacher, the Rev. DIR.
David Humphreys. taught in the Wax
haw settlement. He appears to have
been going to this higher school in the
spring of 11S0. when the inroad Of Tar
Teton created panic in that portion Of
the Carolinas. AT some later period Of
his youth he is said to have attended
the old Queen college or seminary ut
Charlotte couple of terms, but the
time is not definitely known.
AS to education, therefore, it may lie
safely stated that Andrew Jackson ell
joyed much more than the ordinary adj
vantage of backwoods boys of his
time. At the age of ten he had become
SO good n reader that he was often
chosen to read the newspaper to the
assembled neighbors, and he remenl-
bered with pride in after years that he
had thus had the honor of reading out
loud" the Declaration of Independence
upon its arrival in the WaXhaws. For
a lad of ten this was, indeed. some
thing to remember with honest pride

Tickling Human Vanity.

Few people realize how profitable the
trade of tickling human vanity Is and
how many different forms it employs.
There are obscure newspapers and
nominal magazines that live by it and
provide good incomes for their editors.

tables luxuriously bound and printed
volumes whose contents consist en-
tirely of fulsome puffs. Each profes-

The old adage that the poor are tho
best friends of the poor vas instanced
In the story of chambermaid, who is
young widow with two children to
support. After Il lingering sickness the
younger of the children died, and, the
young mothers bank account having
been depleted from defraying the ex-
penses Of the weeks of medicine and
doctors visits, she was obliged to con-
tract debt at the undertaker's. After
that she paid small monthly INSTALL
ment until the bill was half settled,
when one day there came through the
mail receipt for the remainder. The
receipt was accompanied by badly
written and blotted note from scrub
woman in a large uptown hotel, who
knew of the trouble, knew the family
and the circumstances and in her note
explained that she had no family nor
near relatives and that she earned
enough to support herself and that she
wanted to use this surplus money for
the little mother, who needed all that
she could make extra to support the
remaining child. AS scrubwomen re-
ceive only so or IS cents day, one
will readily appreciate the spirit which
moved one kind soul to help another
in distress.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Terrible Pun;.hr,en+

A man suspected of treason in Mo-
rocco was punished by having the
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filed with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. 1t is a common
belief that this punishment causes
modification to set in and that the
hand decomposes, but such is not the
case, for by the time the leather wears
off the hand is healed, the result being
that the hand is rendered useless and
remains closed forever. 1t is punish
mcnt not often In use, but is some
times done in cases of murder or con.
slant theft, as. without in any way in.

Toad Superatitio,1s,

superstitions as to tonds having been
early inculcated, it has been exceed.
ingly difficult to get rid-of them. One
remnant Of this ancient credulity still
exists. 1t is in regard to the absolute
imperishable character Of the toad.
There are we'll educated Americans
who believe that toad hops out alive
from slab Of stone though he has
been imprisoned there for several mil
lions Of years. We give in brief DR..
Buckland's experiments with toads in
1925. He took twelve toads and had
the toads put in twelve cells cut in
sandstone. and over these he put plates
of glass. They were buried in a gar
den for over u year. When exhumed
they were all dead. Then some were
put in porous sandstone, and at the
end Of year few were found great
ly emaclated." When buried for an
other year, they all died. Toads were
inclosed in wood, and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived Of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If toad as a tadpole could have
entered a crerice in rock, it might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is SO ineradicable that 1t
Is supposable it never can be dissi-

A rhlnoceros which lived in the Lon

which grew down In front of its mouth,
SO that only with difficulty could it eat
or drink. To save its life the keeper
decided on amputation. The horn of a
rhinoceros is not Il horn at all. but an
accumulation of hair and skin which
has hardened and become ccmented to-
gether by some gummy substance The
owner Of this one had Il very tOucly
temper and was not easily approached.
Its keeper. however, decided to try
what he could do For some days it re-
qulred all his skill to persuade the
beast to come to the front of the cage
and put its horn through. Then for
some days he stroked the horn, much to
the animals disgust at first, although
later it. seemed to like it. When it
found lie meant no harm 1t let him take
the horn i'll his left hand and then with
the right initiate the motion of Il saw
across II. When this had been done

minded 1t, piece of wood was held In

this no longer worried the animal. n

they didn't know enough to come in
when It rained, they can be made to
