Snake Clear Out a School.
Teacher and pupils of the Chestnut
Hill school in Montville, Conn., had a
fright from Hnakes the other day.
School opened for the summer term, and
all went well till a little girl screamed
and rushed out of the room. She had
eeen a snako jiecping out of the planter
ing near the teacher's dunk. Tho teacher
thought she was ill and mistaken and
cut her home. Half an hour later a
mnall boy saw a snake crawl out of a
hole near the chimney and killed it with
a slate frame. The fire in tho warm
chimney started up more snakes. Pretty
soon a half awakened reptile five feet
long tumbled out of a hole in the ceiling
and landed with a great thump just in
frontof the children's seat. The teacher
stood on top of her desk till tho big boys
had settled his account. Then more
snakes began to tumble down, and the
whole school, big boys and all, took to
flight. The teacher refuses to enter the
building again, and the Chetttnut Hill
school term is adjourned without data.

An Aeronaut's Intrepid Peat.
The aeronaut. Captain Dworniki, has
succeeded at lust in his descent with a
parachute from his balloon at Naples.
In ten minutes the balloon, with Dworn
. iki depending from it seated on a
trapezo, had reached a height of 5,000
feet. The parachute, when set free was
dashed about by the wind so violently
that often the captain's body touched
ita edgo, swinging rapidly from side to
side so that the spectators screamed
with horror. However, in five minutos
the descent was accomplished, the aero
naut safely touching grouud in the
street of Merzelina, near the Llone
fountain.
The people surrounded the captain,
some of them even embracing him, and
when he took refuge in a carriage he
was accompanied in triumph by the
crowd. The balloon was carried over
the Vomero, where it fell into tho woods
of the Duke of Salvi, who for some time
refused to give it up. London News.

A west side dealer in rainbow hued

new thing in that lino which maybe

made from tho dried skin of the rattle
snake and makes a very handsome tie,
although tho effect ia rather startling,
as the rattles and buttons are utilized
for a scarfpin.

A remarkable surgical case was that
of little Charlie Fisher, who was recent
ly discharged from the Eastern District
hospital, Brooklyn. The little patient,
while riding with his grandfather on
Bedford avenue a week or two ago, re
ceived a fracture of the skull and was so
seriously injured that life was de.imir-
ed of.
The horso, rearing up, kicked over the
dashboard, his left foot striking Clinrlifl'i
forehead. The three-year-old boy was
taken rrom the carriage immediately
after tho accident in an unconscious
state. An ambulance was mminmiw.,1
and Surgeon Oifford took him to the
hospital without an idea that he would
ever recover consciousness tho boy's
Bkuii was so horribly mangled. Hut
House Burgeon Orrell worked hard,
taking broken fragments of skull from
tho wound for three or four hours.
in all, fifty-six littlo pieces of skull
were taken from the child's forehead,
and there is now a round circle about
tho sizo of a fifty cent piece over the
rigtit eye wuere the brain is exposed.
Its pulsation can uluinlv be seen. If tlm
patient had bcon older a recovery, tlie
doctors say, would not have been so re
markable. New York Advertiser.

year twenty-four hours per day and six
days in the week from the time it started
up. During the time the total stoppage
of the mill by reason of the deficiency
of power has averaged loss than sixteen
minutes per day, and of the whole
amount of time lost 80 per cent has
been due to necessary work on tho tur
