A Tragic Experiment.

Concerning pythons, the following
is true story: A young lady in
England for a long time resisted her
lovers entreaties to go out to India
with him as his wife. She had hor.
ror of the wild animals she believed
she might encounter there, especially
serpents. At length, however, after
he had issued a sort of ultimatum,
she consented to accompany him.
She did not, however, leave her fears
behind her and lived in constant ter
ror of some day meeting what she 80
intensely feared. Her husband did
his best to laugh her feara away, but
without avail. Then he resolved to
try more dramatic means.
A huge python was killed in the
neighborhood of his bungalow. With
out telling his wife anything about it
he ordered the reptile to be brought
into the drawing room and coiled up
as if asleep on the hearth rug. Then
he went out and called his wife, tell.
ing her to go into the drawing room
and that he would join her in a few
minutes. Soon after he heard a
dreadful scream. THAT will cure
her of her fear of serpents,' he smiled
to himself and purposely delayed his
entry. When at last he went into
the drawing room he saw his wife ly-
ing dead on the floor, and coIled
around her was another huge python,
the mate to the one that lay dead on
the hearth rug.

Human Dogs In Paris.

A new profession, known as that of
the "two-legged dOgs," has been in
troduced by the Paris authorities.
A tax of So a year is imposed on ev-
cry dog, and the owners are supposed
to declare them themselves. Many
of the owners svade the tax by giving
81 year to their concierge. When
the fiscal authorities make inquiries
the concierge denies the existence of
the dogs and the revenue is defraud-
ed.
The authorities are now paying $50
a month to number of men who can
bark. The men walk along the strsest
at night, bark outside every house,
and when a dog replies take note of
the address and send around the tax
collector.
1t is a hard.working profession, but
for those artists who have failed to
get an engagement at the opera and
are fond of exercise it means bread
and butter.

The MIX In the COcoanut.

"Husking cocoanut is one Of the
simplest looking operations in the
world, but l have not yet seen the
white man who could do it effective
ly," writes Beatrice Grimshaw in her
book, "In the Strange South Seas.
Every native of Tahiti is apparently
born with the trick.
A stick is sharply pointed at both
ends, and one end is firmly set in the
ground. The nut is then taken in
the hands, and struck with hitting
and tearing movement combined, on
the point of the stick, 80 as to split
the thick, intensely tough covering Of
dense coir fiber that protects the nut.
The nut comes forth white as ivory,
about the same shape and size as the
brown old nuts that go by ship to En-
gland and America, bat much young
er and more tender, for only the small
EFT of the old nuts, which are not
wanted in the islands for copra-mak-
ing, are generally exported.
A large knife is used to crack the
top of the nut all round, like an egg
shell, and the drink is ready, draft
of pure water, lightly sweet and just
little aerated, if the nut has been
plucked at the right stage.
There is no pleasanter or more re-
freshing draft in the world, and it has
not the least likeness to the milk"
contained in the cocoanuts Of COM
merce. No native would drink from
old nuts, for fear of illness, as they are
considered both unpleasant and un-
wholesome. Only the milk of half.
grown nuts is used for drinking, and
even these will sometimes hold cou.
pie of pints of liquid.
The water of the young cocoanut is
food and drink in one, having much
nourishing matter held in solution.
On many long day Ofhot and weary
travel l had cause to bless the refresh

Kind Snakes Help Squirrels Over.

William Simmons, who lives up
Holley Brook way, near Port Jsr Wis,
N. Y, aud is a veteran fisherman, wa s
out for trout the other day. He has
a very old habit of catching trout
mot the kind that are foot long or
weighing two or three pounds each,
but the respectable sort that come
within the length of the law. You
see, Bill believes in telling the truth
about fish and other things.
Bill reports be was compelled to
quit fishing on account of flames and
smoke. The brush and scrub oak
covering many acres had been set on
fire along the HOIley Brook. Sim.
mons says he crossed the brook along
with much reptile and animal life,
driven his way by the fire.
A score of black snakes and about
three score of squirrels held hur-
ried consultation on the bank. Then
says Bill the snakes twined them
selves together and going up stream
bounded into the rushing water ofthe
brook. But the tail of the last bound
er was still twined about a bush.
The current carried the rope of
snakes to the opposite shore, where
the leader, quick as wink, twined
about bush. Thus was formed
living, squirming bridge.
across this bridge, ,,,you see it was
easy for the squirrels to dart to safety
on the other side. They were gray,
red and chipmunk squirrels. When
all had crossed the snake on the of
shore loosensd its tail hold to the
brush and the snake bridge was swept
down stream to the lee shore, where
the reptiles gracefully uncoiled and
squirmed across the fields far away
from the fire."
Bill explains that the squirrels
seemed to have put the snakes on to
something. Investigating, he discov-
cred that the reptiles had been direc-
ted to where colony of toads lived,
and in jiffy there was not a single
toad, big or little, in that puddle.
The snakes made very pleasant meal
of them.
$50 you see, said Bill, teaching
moral to his tale, ''it pays snakes
sometimes to be kind to squirrels"

The Business Of Farming.

If the rule prevailed in farming
which governs other business, the
marvellous prosperity of the farmers
in recent years would make the de-
mand for farms so great that it could
not be met without exhausting the
available supply of abandoned land in
the East and the unoccupied land in
the West.
The corn yield last year, according
to the government Crop Reporter, was
worth half a billion dollars more than
in 1899, although the crop was small
er. The wheat harvest was worth
nearly two hundred millions more for
about the same number Of bushels,
and so on through twelve principal
crops, with a total increase in value
for the twelve of a billion FIVE hum
dred million dollars. The prices for
farm products have gone up, and made
the farmers rich. They have paid of
their mortgages, and have been asking
the banks to take their surplus money
even at the low rate of two per cent
interest.
Since corn and wheat aud potatoes
sell at prices from half more to near
ly twice as much as in 1899, it is i'm
portant for the consumers that the eK.
tent of agricultural land, or the
amount raised to the acre, should be
increased. This country cannot con-
tinue to export grain without increas-
ing the yield. That increase must be
considerable. even to keep pace with
the demands Of the growing city pop
ulation, to say nothing of the increas.
ing consumption Of their crops By the
farmers themselves, now able to enjoy
luxuries they once could not afford.
Men with money rush into one busi-
ness after another, frequently created
by a passing fad, and lose their capi-
tai, forgetting that there is always a
demand for the products Of the farm,
even in panic times. Men can get
along without automobiles, but they
must eat. The present profitable
prices are to continue for long time.
in the opinion of the Secretary Of Ag-
for population has grown
much faster than the farms therefore
the business of farming ought to hold
the attention Of those seeking success.

No ObSeauies.

A group Of interested citizens lin
gsred recently to watch the work Of
demolishing the ancient single-trsck
tunnel, BY which the railroad has 90
long passed under the ridge where
winds the beautiful slm.shsded High
Street Of the old city Of Newburyport.
The tunnel is about to be replaced by
an open bridge Of width sufficient for
several tracks. The scene was live

stands almost over the tunnel, its long
garden running far back along the cut

To the Boys Of Forty.

A Greek philosopher has pictured
man as being born in a well built
house and living therein during child
hood. As he grows he pulls down the
walls, stone by stone, until he stands
finally in the undimmed sunlight.
Is it not SO?
How many stones have We had to
pull down that we might see over Z
Some of US still have stones in the
way. And some of us-the wise old
boys-have put all the stones they
have pulled down into a great pile
and got on top of them for a wider
view.
For twenty years at least We have
been trying to widen the horizon, to
get comprehensive view OF life.
But
The peril of the larger vision is
this:
AS we see further and know more
disillusion comes to rob US of our
youthful enthusiarms. Shall we, hav-
ing mans head, still keep beneath
it the heart of boy' Will disap-
pointments destroy faith Will the
larger knowledge lower ideals ?
1t must not be
At twenty the stones are in the
way. The outlook is small. The
young man cannot see far, know much
or feel deeply. The near, the noisy
and the sensuous attract him. His
ideal of picture is the stirring battle
scene. His ideal Of music is the noisy
band. He is caught by movement
and hilarity.
Having learned the better way at
forty, we must still keep our hearts
young. Therefore we find our ideal
music in the laughter of child. The
pictures we admire are those Of peace.
full landscapes. The glitter and the
tinsel no longer catch our fancy. A
book by the fire, dear face across
the table-these are the things that
appeal to the chastened enthusiasm
of forty.
You see, at two.score years a man
puts the proper value on the real
things Of life. He has learned to dis.
criminate. TIE world has dawned on
him. He has pulled down the stones.
Boys of forty and over;
We have not lost our boyish visions.
No, sireel As the master painted
"Amplio" (wider) on the picture of
his pupil, so we have pulled down the
stones to get farther look.
Let US therefore stand in the un-
dimmsd sunlight and keep sweet

JaunMce.

Jaundice, or icterus, is not a dis.
ease, but only q symptom, occurring
in the course of other diseases; but it
is so striking symptom, and one so
easily recognized, that it is often re-
garded as disease in itself, while the
underlying condition of which it is a
symptom is looked upon as its cause.
1t consists in a staining of the skin,
the eyes, and indeed all the tissues of
the body, with the cOlOring-matter Of
the bile, which is not cast out, as it
should be, but is taken up by the
blood and carried to all parts of the
body.
1t is produced in one Of two ways {:
by obstruction to the outflow of bile
or by the action of some poisonous
substance which alters the constitution
of the bile. The fret form, "obstruc-
tive" jaundice, is the result Of more
or less complete closing of the chan
nels through which the bile escapes
from the liver. This obstruction may
be due to plugging Of the passages by
gall-stones, to the presence of tumor
pressing upon the passages, or to in
fammation and the resultant swelling
of the mucous membrane lining these
passages.
The other form, called "toxemio"
jaundice, is an accompaniment of GER
tain general diseases, such as malaria
or yellow fever, of poisoning by phos-
phorus and other chemical substances,
or of acute atrorhy Of the liver.
The color of the skin varies, accord
ing to the intensity of the jaundice,
that is, according to the amount of
bile coloring.matter circulating in the
blood, from light lemon to bright
saffron hue, or even dark yellowish
green. The eyes are frequently the
first to show the yellow color, and in
mild cases may be the only parts
where the jaundice is visible. The
saliva, perspiration, and other secre-
tions are usually stained yellow.
There is generally an increase Of
perspiration. Itching also is very
common, and this, like the perspira-
tion, may be general, or limited to
certain parts of the body, and grows
worse at night.
Sufferers from jsundiCe, unless few
er is present, usually have slow
pulse. Headache, and sometimes
dizziness, is complained of. and the
patient is likely to be exceedingly ir-
ritable.
There is no treatment for the jaun-
dice itself. An endeaVor must be
made to discover the cause, and if
this can be removed, the skin will
speedily resume its natural color, and
with this will disappear the itching,
the headache and the other symptoms
so often associated with the jaundice.
