Our Poisonous Snakes

There are four poisonous groups of
snakes within the boundaries of the
United States. These are: the moe
casin, RATHER, copperhead and harIe-
quin. All are easily distinguished by
their large, broad heads, deepset
black eyes, small neck, stout bulky
body and short tail. The most dan
gerous of these perhaps is the moe
casin, for it usually rest on branches
of low trees and shrubs and strikes
at a passing victim. However, it
will refrain from striking unless ir-
ritated and will give battle only when
teaSed or frightened. The rattler
comprises many species, of which the
diamond back is the most plentiful,
but not the most venomous. Death
from a rattler's bite depends on the
activity of the snake, the time Of
the year, the condition of the person
struck and the spot affected by the
poison. Besides this, rattlers will
give the trespasser a warning. The
copperhead is next in rank in re-
gard to virulence of poison. 1t is
the most aggressive. There is also
another species, a very beautiful
snake, the harlequin or beadsnake.
1t is the least venomous of all

Cat Mothers Squirrel

Bloomfield, Iowa-Ores Kinney OF
near Bloomfield was exhibiting three
kittens and baby squirrel, mother
ed by cat, who, so far, is ideal in
her attention to the baby squirrel
making no distinction between it and
the other members of her family
AS we understand it, members of Mr.
Kinney's family discovered two little
squirrels and placed one of them in
the cat family. The other squirrel
is being fed by bottle. The babies
as yet, haven't opened their eyes to
the big world and are apparently
perfectly happy with their unusual
surroundings.

Buying What You Don't Get

A Chicago man recently made a
startling discovery.
He had paid $4,000 for a home.
And the home was worth only
$4,000.
Cheated? Badly! But it was much
worse than that. Not only had he
paid twice as much for his home as
it was worth, but even then he did
not own il! The title still rested in
the landlord.
For the $4,000 he paid was in
rent, as he discovered on looking
over his old accounts. He had paid
for his home twice over without
getting it, because he had been pay
ing rent instead Of buying.
Perhaps this is an extreme case,
but a good many people who have
paid rent for a long time might, if
they would do a little figuring, find
that they have done something very
like what this Chicago man has done.
And good many people who are
just starting in to pay rent. raay..if
they will do a little figuring too,
avoid what the Chicago rent payer
has done, and what other rent payers
are doing.
The only escape from this peculiar
ly senseless way of swindling your
self is to take a chance and own
your own home.-Duluth Herald.

EGG BREAKING PLANT

Try. Twelve girls do the breaking
stunt and the daily output is 300
cans, a case of eggs filling one 80
pound can. U. G. Smith, of Moravia,
tells how it is done. The eggs are
frozen solid in new freezers which
carry temperatures from the freezing
point to 10 degrees below zero. After
thoroughly freezing shipment is made
In carload los, of 1000 cans to a
car, 10 the east, the cars being furn-
ished with crushed ice and, salt to
hold temperature. The latter part OF
this week they will be separating
the whi.es from the yolks and max
ing grades as follows: White or
mixed eggs white Of eggs, yolks Of
eggs. The eggs are used in high
class hotels, restaurants and baker
les. The eggs used ARE checked,
denied or dirty, all of which are
closely candled, before being used in
the breaking room. The eggs are
broken into plain glass trays with
handles after which the girl breaking
is required to smell the tray to as
certain whether or not any egg is
musty or a ebay egg. One egg Of
this kind will turn thirty dozen eggs
bitter and unfit for use. From two
to five wagon loads of eggs shells
accumulate daily, which at the pre-
sent time are given to farmers for
fertilizer, but later they expect TO
put n a dryer to commercialize this
product.

Nature Cuts Up Queer Gamers

Mother nature is cutting up some
curious capers this spring, says a
correspondent from Red School. VIM.
Ewing's have a cat which is the
mother Of five legged kitten, two
in front and three behind. The extra
leg is useless, however, as it just
sort of drags along. Last week the
owner refused an offer of SIS for a
pig which has six feet. Then at the
George Ralston home they have a
pig which has six feet, two feet on
each front leg, but only the usual
four legs are used. This animal is
keeping up with the rest, weighing
20 pounds.

Man Must Learn

There is the genuine Christian prin-
ciple in our fraternal brotherhoods.
"Be We one another's burdens and
thus fulfill the law" has been the
inspiration and foundation of Chris
tian philanthropy in all ages. Lies
environments, struggles, successes,
failures, duties-all emphasize the
fact that man must lean upon his
fellows. The most practical plan of
cooperation in our day--the most
lusabie orsanisad force in CariSten-
dom-is the fraternal cooperative
system. 1t has a place above and
distinct from every other organiza-
ton, and its vital power is in the

Vests Euloxy of the Dog

The "Eulogy on the Dog, one Of
the most famous speeches ever made
by the late Senator George G. Vest of
Nissouri, was made in the course of
the trial Of :, man who had vantonly
shot a dog belonging to neighbor.
Vest represented the plaintiff, who
demanded $500 damages. When Vest
finished speaking, the jury, after two
minutes deliberation, awarded the
plaintiff $500. The full text of the
sreech follows:
