He was at one place up in the noun
tains the other week and determined
to stay all night. Before dinner he
complained of slight headache to
the proprietor, but the remark was
passed apparently without notice. He
ate big meal, but did not enjoy 1t
much because OF his headache.
Next day he moved on to his next
stop, and upon his return to the city
was surprised to find a letter from the
proprietor OF the house where he had
spent the night. 1t said: Through an
act OF carelessness on my part l al
lowed you to eat the regular dinner
the other night-a dinner not suited
for man with a headache Now /
should have prepared some eggs and
toast and tea for you. but / allowed
you to eat something you did not en-

pERlLs OF LIFE IN TROPICS.
Animals and Reptiles Alike Invade
Rest and Comfort There.

The perils OF daily life in the trop-
ics are almost inconceiyable to dwell
ers in other climes. In oorneo vii
lage, a man and his tenyear-old son
were sleeping in their house inside a
mosquito netting. They were on the
floor near the wall. In the middle Of
the night the father was awakened by
his son calling out. 1t was totally
dark and the father passed his hand
over his son, but found nothing amiss,
so he turned over and went to sleep
again, thinking the boy was dream
Ing. Shortly afterward the child again
called out, saying that a crocodile
was taking him. This time the IA
ther, thoroughly aroused, lighted q
lamp, and found that a snake had
closed its jaws on the boys head He
shouted, and the snake. releasing its
hold. drew the whole Of its body into
the house and encircled the body of
the father He was rescued by the
neighbors, who were attracted by the
cries for help of the terrified couple.
The snake when killed was found to
be Is feet long. and the head and fore
head of the boy was surrounded with
a circle Of punctured wounds produced
by the python's teeth.

THE BIBEE TO JAIL.

judge I. L. Browu yesterday made an
order placing dozen copies of the
Bible in the county jail Of Craig county
in order that the unfortunate inmates OF
that institution might have the comforting
influence that comes from the perusal OF
the Holy Scriptures. This was simply an
act Of humanity by a thoughtful and kind
hearted MAGISTRATE, in order to alleviate
as much as possible the pain Of conhne-
ment Of those who. for one reason and
another. have violated the laws and are
no longer permitted to go at large amone
their fellow men But our civilization is
inconeruous. and often bangles at loose
ends. and it is sometimes difficult to eN-
plain why we do. or neglect to do, certain
things. While the unforttnatcs who lam
euish in our iails have the scriptures
placed in their hands, We deny the same
to the boys and girls who romp aud dance
along our streets and play their way down
country lanes to school, The American
boy. in whose growth and development
there are such wonderful possibilities, can
not carry a Bible in his satchel to school,
That bevy of whitefaced maidens who
eigele and smile and walk with rythr'c :
step toward the doors Of our public schools
are allowed no copy Of the Bible in their
course Of study We give the Scripture
70 the heather BY the millions and boast
that we are nation Of open Bibles We
furnish our penal and elemosenary insd-
tutions with Bibles by the thousands, yet
deny them to our children at school We
place them in the hands Of those who ars
bowed down with trouble. and to whom

the burdens Of life are too heavy. The
Book is freely held by the wasted hand Of
sickness and perused BY the tired eyes Of
the shut-in ones whose wan faces are
lighted and cheered by the wonderful IN
spiration Of the Word, yet in the curricu-
lum Of no public school in all the domain
of free America can the Bible find
nlace.

Ruskin as a Chess player.

Many people may have overlooked
the fact that Ruskin loved the game
Of chess. Some of his letters reveal
this interest. He was at one time a
constant visitor to Maskelyne &
Cookies entertainment, where he once
PLAYED a game with Psyche" and he
tried his skill against other chess au-
tomato. Indeed, it was matter OF
pride to him. say his latest editors,
ethat he had obtained more than one
victory over the famous Mephlsto at
the time when it was performing at
the Crystal palace with considerable
eclat. He was vice-president of the
British Chess association.
