about q yard. AT the end Of the month

Two months later the height of the
ridge of the new mountain was found by
barometrie measurements to be $50 feet
above the level of the lake. AS its height
before the eruption began was only $50

the total elevation from the end of July
TO the beginning of November was $40
feet, giving an average rate of upheaval
of little over five feet day. Some
time before or after this process of ele-
walton must have ceased and opposite

Snakes That Bother Fishermen.


Poisonous snakes, driven to higher
land by the high water in Lake
Pontchartrain, have been playing
havoc with fishermen, two Of whom
were bitten so severely the other day
that they had to be sent to the Char
ity hospital.
James Nary, nineteen years old, a
resident of Bucktown, occupies cot
in Ward sc as a result of being bit
ten on the great toe by "lemontail"
snake he encountered near West End
shortly before daybreak while hunt
ing bullfrogs John Gallaty of Milne
burg, the other snake victim, is not
so seriously affected, although bitten
in the same place by "cottonmouth"
snake.
''The 'cottonmouth' and the lemon
tail are the only two snakes fisher
men fear" said Nary at the hospital.

individuality.

Mature never rhymes her children,
nor makes two men alike" So says
Emerson, and the mothers Of young
families might do no worse than take
this saying as nursery motto.
1t is curious how few parents, COM
paratiyely realize the wisdom Of this,
and consequently how many homes are
marred and rendered unproductive by
being made forcing instead Of ITEM
perate" houses for the young lives
they contain.
The creeds, ideas, thoughts and ca
prices Of the parents are forced on the
child; he is nodded or patterned" by
the parent, according to that parents
standards. He is taught to be like this
person, or that, to take such one for
his example and object of imitation
He either becomes nonentity, or,
when he finds that his shape is un-
fitted for the parental mold, he rebels,
and then parent and child become an
tagonistic one to the other.
