BACK OF A SNAKE.
Il Car Easily Be Broken BY Crack
With Cane.

The first impulse OF a man on
seeing a snake is 10 stamp on lis
head. which, according 10 the Ro-
sary Magazine. IS unwise. y snakes
skull IS very tough, as behooves q
part Of the body that is ALWAYS LA
BE II be knocked against stones,
etc. owing to the extreme short
sightedness Of all serpents.
The back, on the contrary, can be
broken with Light rap, for ii con-
sists Of a delicate system Of ball
and socket joints. Should SNAKES
be harmless the best plan is to
leave them alone; should they be
dangerous a shot from revolver is
safe and effective. In case no re-
yolver is at hand a rap with cane
will be sufficient, but care must be
taken to keep away from the head
of the creature.
\ snake does not normally go
about hitting its skull against hard
objects. 1t does this only when in a
hurry. Moving at its ordinary pace,
it feels its way with its long, deli
cate, forked tongue.
In the same way when about to
swallow its food it touches it all
over with its tongue in order to as
certain where to take hold. and
this process has given rise to the
mistaken idea that a snake covers
its prey with saliva prior to swal-
lowing it. No doubt a considerable
quantity OF saliva is generated dur
ing the process Of deglutition, but
it does not come from the tongue
which is merely used as ieeler.
When snake bites it bisects il:
head up to the nape Of its neck an6
opens its jaws till they are in tile
same plane. e., at right angles tc

with six rows of strong, SHARP
teeth, four on the upper jaw ane
two on the lower jaw.

All woolens should be washed in

Wooden cloth should not be twisted

wool are desirable as we have warmth

The editor Of cur steamed cotem-
porary Up at Hazelton seems to en-
tirely disapprove OF the editorial
methods Of the Record senior 1t
seems strange that man who, like
the Hazelton editor, is on most mat
tiers possessed Of almost human in
telligence, should so mislead himself
as TO the legitimate functions OF
ewspaper. Editor Thurston be-
lieves ia the motto Of Addition.
division ard silence y His theory
of newspaper ethics is, Let me hold
good political job and get all OF
the state printing thatcomes to En-
mons county. and | don't care what
happens as TO tax-grafting, bridge
pouging, etc" But, notwithstand-
ing the faces tina, are continually
being made at xe'uns by the good
looking Hazelton chap, we still be-
lieve that 1t is the duty Of news
paper man to speak plainly and to
make public all things Of an official
nature that are of interest to the
taxpayers of the county. As to the
assertions of our friends the enemy
that all action by the Record editor
is done from the standpoint of poll
tics" the Hazelton man certainly
must have had experience enough TO
know that criticism of rich and ac-
tive politicians does not bring either
votes or money to the criticizer, and
that the Thurstonian method, Say
nothing and saw wood" is by long
odds the more profitable. However,
Ore mans meat is another mans
poison. and our system of publicity
is as satisfying to US as Mr.. Thurs
toms system Of silence is salts
factory to him. And the editor 81
our steamed contemporary should
take into consideration the fact that
if all the newspapers of the county
kept as quiet as the Hazelton Repub
lican. their readers woul1 know alb
solutely nothing of the true in
wardness" of many of the transac-
tions that have taken place in the
county's official life. The aforesaid
editor should also remember tina,
there is drastic libel law in thi:
state, and that any editor with ordi
nary horse sense takes mighty gooC
care To know that he can prove what
he says when he adversely criticise:
the acts Of an otfice-seeker or az
etiice-holder. Therefore, if silence
and its reward bring happiness Il
the HazeIton editor. he should il
justice be satisfied if the Linton ed
itor finds his happiness in throwing
the journalistic harpoon into those
in public office who have proved re
creant TO their trust And, really
doesn't the Hazelton editor beIiev.
