PYTHoNS AS PETS.
The Man Liked Them, but They Were
Not Appreciated BY His Wife.

An Englishman who spent much time
In Bengal tells in Blackwood's Maya
zine about couple Of pythons that
were kept as pets. He says:
zone hears good deal about the
snakes, but one sees very little of them
at any time and in cold weather moth
ing at ALL Indeed, the only snakes
saw were two great pythons which a
planter kept in one of his indigo yats
for his private dedication. He loved to
watch them and feed them and poke
them with stick and see their fiat,
vicious heads drive at it with the
speed and force of steam hammer.
"His wife liked them less because
one of them had once escaped from the
vat and wandered into her bedroom.
1t was daytime, and she was resting
from the heat, and, hearing 1t advance,
breathing heavily, she thought it was
her somewhat asthmatical fox terrier
and told 1t TO lie down. AS 1t seemed
to be making for her bed instead, she
looked up to find that It was one Of the
pythons looking for warm place in
which TO lie. Her screams brought her
husband, who, annoyed by this esca-
pade of pet which his wife had new
er properly appreciated, thoughtIessly
seized 1t by the neck, with the result
that in a twinkling 1t had knotted itself
around his arm and nearly pulped 1t
before his bearer could arrive and get
1t by the tail
1.-TWO men, it seems, can deal with a
python fairly effectively by grasping
each an end of it, thus preventing it
from weaving itself into the coils that
crush. But no single man IS of much
use, for the reason that he cannot in
the nature Of things grasp and keep
taut an eighteen foot length of with
Ing muscle The planter told me that
as it was, his arm had turned black and
blue all over, as If 1t had been squeezed
In heavy door, and it was weeks be
fore he could use it. But he still loved
his python"

In a dark room Take an ordinary
drinking glass with tolerably fiat

above the candle at distance of
about one foot from it, so as TO be
able TO see the fame of the candle
through the bottom OF the glass Then
pour slowly the diluted milk into the

The fame becomes less bright as
the level of the liquid rises into the
glass. The fame is soon reduced 20 a

Pitiful Efforts of Starving Chinese to
Sustain Life--Glaphic Description OF
Conditions BY An American Traveller
Mr.. Earl IL. Cressy. an American. who
has recently returned from a tour OF I'M
spection of the famine districts of China
relates many instances illustrative OF the
,trghtful conditions of starvation which
prevailed early in February. He made
a minute examination OF many Chinese
homes. Describing an inspection OF all
the houses, large and small, in several
groups, total OF ffty-five houses Mr..
Greasy makes the following statement.
"A straw stack indicates that there
has been crop. | found straw in four
yards. Grain was found in only seven
houses out Of the iiftyfive. and in no
place over Il peck of it. The food in
process of preparation was invariably
gIeens--sweet potato leaves or caro-
tops, thin, acrid smelling mass OF
the appearance of stagnant water and
about as appetizing, only once in a
while containing bit OF vegetable or
grain. About one out of every three was
eating elm bark, which they prepare
by reducing il to fine sawdust and
then making it into cakes. Whole rows
OF trees have thus been stripped OF their
bark. OF even such sorry food as this,
only a few have any great amount on
hand. After il is gone they will eat
the bark of the willow and mulberry,
which cause swelling and hasten death
Except for these, the countryside is alb
solutely bare.
ITO look back upon it, the whole
seems like q bad dream. The gloom of
the wretched homes, the whirling snow,
driven by the bitter winds, the hungry
garrulousness of the old women, the
modest shyness' of young matrons at
suddenly finding themselves in the pres.
erce of a foreign man. little children
CRYING over their pitiful food, the dumb
agony on the face of the woman whom
we had to tell that her husband had
just breathed his last, the dead with

this is only small part OF the grim
tragedy of the famine where two and
a half millions are facing conditions like
these"

A WAY OPEN
Many a Barre Reader Knows 1t
Well.

There is a way open to convince the
greatest skeptic. Scores of Barre peo-
pie have made it possible. The public
statement of their experience is PROOF,
the like of which has never been pro-
duced before in Barre. Read this case
of it given by citizen:
l.. H. Hooker, l0l Prospect street,
Barre, VT, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
have dcSe me more good than all the
doctors prescriptions and other remedies
| have ever tried. Over eight years ago
! gave testimonial. telling what Doans
Kidney Pills had done for me and | can
now say that / have more confidence IN
them than ever. / suffered for long
time from kidney complaint and finally
became so bad that my condition was
serious, My back ached nearly all the
time and an annoying kidney difficulty
existed. ! finally heard of Doan's Kid
ney Pills and procured supply at
browns drug store. j used the con-
tents of five boxes and they greatly
benefited me. | have often recommend
ed this remedy to other people and IN
every case benefit has been received"
statement given Nov. 10, 1901
Mr.. Hooker was interviewed on May
"a, 1911, and he said: you are well
come to continue using the statement |
gave for publication recommending
Doan's Kidney Pills in 1905. can
endorse this remedy more highly than

ACUTE
INDIGESTION
FATAL

Prominently displayed in the newspa-
pers of January was the announcement
of the death of Alfred Tennyson Dickens,
son of the late Charles Dickens, from
acute indigestion Mr.. Dickens was
stricken very suddenly, only being sick
about three hours.
Newspapers of the next day Jan
uary A. feature the fact that our
own Fighting Bob" Evans died sud-
denly in Washington of acute indges-
ton after an illness of less than two
hours.
The above news items amply prove how
serious our national disease, indigestion,
is becoming, and the fact that no matter
how healthy and robust person is, they
may be suddenly stricken with this dread
disease.
Prepare yourself to fight Indigestion.
Don't let the enemy find you unprepared
if he should suddenly attack you. Guard
yourself as thousands of others have
done with STOMACH RITE, the rational
remedy to fight this national disease
OF ours.
Users call doctors Daughter STOM-
ACH-RIT the worlds best stomach and
sands OF users they ought to know.
You should always have STOMACH
RITE at hand. Keep it in your home.
Garry it in your purse or pocket. One
1r two tablets taken after a hearty
meal would eliminate all bad after-ef-
feets.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure but in STOMACH RITE
you get both--a preventive and a cure
as thousands have testified and a soc
box purchased at your druggists to-day
may be the means of saving you much
suffering, possibly your life
Ask for STOMACH RITE and insist
that you get it, No other remedy gives
the same results. You can get it at
Burt H. Wells, Barre, and all other good
drug stores.
Indigestion and constipation can be

SPLENDID ADDITION

An addition costing $4,000 will be
AIDED to the First Presbyterian church

year and when it is the structure will
be one OF the finest edifices in the city.

the congregation. Rev. Fred A.. Walton
the pastor, the deacons. officers of the
sessions and of the various clubs were
present and the decision to build the
additios, was unanimous.
The Presbyterian church is located
at the corner of Monroe street and
Sixth avenue. 1t faces Jefferson park.
The church was erected in 1908 at a
cost of $4,000. OF this sum $4,000
was given by the general board in New
York and of the $4,000 required for
the addition it is expected that the
New York general board will furnish
two third of the amount.
Seating capacity of the auditorium in
now $50 but with the completion of the
addition there will be a total seating
