"Undo" Bellinger , as ho wus com
monly known in the neighborhood ,
was telling me of the tmissnsauga or
marsh rattlesnake ruportort to
abound in tho vicinity. Glad of a
chance to rest himself by talking , he
had dropped tlfe head of his axe
among tho brushwood he had been
chopping , and wiped his face with tho
t-Ieevo of his red shirt.
"They're little , but pizen , " ho said.
"There ain't fo many on 'em now.
Forty years ayo when I kim to Michi
gan they wuz that plenty tho mowers
in the dry medders had to wind their
legs with hay ropes. The 'saugas'
teeth 'ud git stuck in the ropes , and
there they'd dangle. A man 'ud git
loaded down with snakes by tho
| middle of the mornin' , an' have a
time gittin' 'em off. "
"Did the mowers uso to carry a
bottle in those days ? " I asked.
"Wall , we ginerally had some snake
medicine along , " said Undo Bellinger ,
iu a tone of allectionate remem
brance. ' Whiskey , they say , is a
uood thing for snake bites , but a bet
tor thing is to live where black ash
trees are and then you won't cetbit. "
"Do you believe. Uncle Bellinger
that it's true that rattlesnakes won't
go near an ash tree ? "
"B'lieve it ! I know it. Show me a
man that ever saw a 'sauga in a black
n h swamp. Boys an' women'll go
huckleberryin' bar' foot there and
never think of snakes. You better
believe me they put on their boots
when they go berryin' in some places.
Why do ye see asli trees planted in
every farmer's yard round these 'ere
marshes ? Can ye answer me that ?
It's ter keep rattlesnakes from coming
round. Mor'n onet I've caught one of
the critters layin' coiled up and made
a circle roun' him halt of ash leaves
and half of hvin' fire ; he'd go through
the fire ruther than the ash leaves
ev'ry time. I tell ye ash leaves is pizen
to a 'sauga. "
Uncle Bellinger had enunciated , con
cerning an antipathy ascribed to the
genus crotalus , a popular belief most
strongly endorsed y those who live
in regions where they would naturally
have the best opportunities of obser
vation in the matter. I was spending
a few weeks of the parly summer in
this rural region of Michigan , and had
a mind to study among other things
a little of the habits of the rattlesnake
in connection with other matters of
natural history to which I was attend
ing.I .
I bade Uncle Bellinger good-day and
went across the fields to the large
house at which , with several other
visitors , I was staying. As I passed
the side door my landlady , Mrs.
Powers , had just bargained with a
bare-footed country lad , who stood
on the steps , for a basket of berries ,
which he proceeded to empty into a
dish brought from the kitchen. As
he did so he threw aside green leaves
that covered them.
Mrs. Powers remonstrated with him
for littering the yard , and he stooped
to pick them up. But in this purpose
he was met by a most emphatic
protest from Miss Ethel Dempsey , two
years old , who having been
attracted unnoticed to the ' spot by
the sight of the berries , had fallen to
gathering the leaves , and already was
holding them in her chubby hands
and arms.
At a movement of the boy to take
them she pat up a ted lip in token of
an impending squal , which caused
him to desist , and turning indignantly
away she toddled with her treasures
around the house corner to the front
yard.
As I stood a moment by the steps ,
talking to Mrs. Powers we became
aware of a sibilation from some un
known quarter , a whistling rattle
constantly crowing louder and faster
until it filled the air , and it was not
easy to ascertain whence it came.
The landlady , who had lived long in
the country , at once stopped talking ,
and looking anxiously about to locate
the 30und ; then she went quickly but
cautiously , watching the ground as
she walked towards the front of the
house. I followed her.
As she turned , the corner where she
could command a full view of the
front , she stopped short with a gasp
ing scream , and stood staring before
her with a countenance of horror. I
stepped to her side , and saw a sight
that appalled me.
On the Hat stone doorstep , sitting
edgewise in the attitude in which she
had climbed upon it , was Ethel gazing
in wonder and pleasure , as at a toy ,
on a dark coil mass lying before her
on the step. From the centre of the
mass the vibrating tail sent forth its
dreadful whizzing rattle , while lying
over its own Hattened coils rested the
supple neck , the heavy head of the
inassasauga , every cruel line deepened
and intensified , the beady eyes gleam
ing with anger , as with fixed attention
it watched the child whose innocent
face was not the lenght of its body
away.
As if fascinated she was slowly
leaning forward toward the snake
whose rattle quickened as she drew
near. For a moment I stood motion
less , feawng to approach lest it preci
pitate the stroke , or to speak lest she
start and all be lost. But I could
not stay still ; I must hazard an in the
effort , at least to rescue her. I took
a step forward , fearing I should be
too late.
She was leaning on one hand , which
rested on the step , while with the oth
er she held tightly against her breast
the green leave she had shortly before
picked up. She laughed , and reaching
out her hand half-way to the snake ,
dropped the leaves before it. At her
movement the snake's neck reared , but
instead of the stroke which seemed in
evitable , the head was drawn
back as if in fear and aversion.
From the window above Mrs.
Dcmpsov , ignorant of what was going
on. called "Ethel ! "
The child rejted both hands on the
step , and upturned her face towards
her mother's window. _ Her arms and
dimpled , chin were within a foot of
the massasauga , which might easily
have struck her. But the moment
she ceased to regard it the serpent , as
if only waiting the chance to go un
observed , turned its head , writhed in
an instant out of coil , and glided over
the edge of the step as I caught up the
child and set her safe indoors. She
set up a plaintive cry.
"I don' want's come in , muzzer.
I want to catch ze pooty sing zat
wattles. "
MManBaaMHiimataaMMMMBi
Ethel was uafe was it through the
strange chance of tho interposed black
ash leaves which had protected her ?
Tho thing next in order for me was
to capturo the snake , which , now
that tho present danger was over * I
wanted to Becuro alive if possible.
With tho holp of a fellow boarder I
traced out tho reptile , guided by tho
sound of its rattle , pinned down its
head with a forked stick , and after
much patient , cautious labor got it
uninjured into a box , which , having
nailed and boarded securdy , I took
with mo to my city lodgings on my
return to them the noxt week.
By dint of careful handling the mns-
easauga , in timo and withinjuty to
no one , was comfortably installed in
my lodgings. Its homo was a flat ,
strongly-made wooden box , with a
thick glass top , which , to secure tho
best sunlight , I brought into my sleep-
ing apartment and set on a stand by
the window. I did not intend to keep
permanently so dangerous an inmate ,
but eventually to kill it with chlorform
and stuff and mount the skin. Tho
time was near at hand when these
snakes change their skinand I wished *
it to be invested in the brighter colors
of its new integument before carrying
my plan into effect.
The reptile was of uncommon size
for its Bpecies.beiug two feet in length ,
with a thick and seemingly clumsy
body , which under excitement became
wonderfully flexible and nct"7e. . Its
color on tho back and sides was a dull
brown , mottled with largedark snots
like blotches , and its belly was a dirty
white.
It , in the main , rested contentedly
enough in its box , which ivas large
enough within for it to lie at full
length in any direction , but would oc
casionally , when all was quiet , glide
swiftly around its prisonand endeav
or to thrust its head between thoglass
and wooden sides in an effort to es
cape. It usually moved sluggishly.and
most of that time it rested motionless
in a coil , or sinuously flat , or , some-
times.at full length in its box.
Its susceptibility to irritation ap
peared to be in proportion to the heat
of the weather , and in the hotterdays
of the summer the head would rear
from the coil , and the curved fangs
spring sharply into sight at the
approach of a person to its box.
As I had but few visitors , and seldom
disturbed my captive myself , beyond
what was requisite in the study of
its habitthe massassauga led a quiet ,
inert life enough , and though it seem
ed to a casual observer to pass most
of its time in sleep ; its eyes never
closed , but gleamed ever watchful with
the glint like that of a dull black gem.
When the sultry , depressing weather
of dog days came , near the last of
July , I noticed that its skin was be
coming dry and rough , and seemed tc
give uneasiness to the reptile , whose
sluggishness and irritability at the
same time became more mai'ked. This
condition of the skin increased until
it was stiff and lifeless , and enclosed
the body like a tight garment ready
to burst from the expansion within.
A film came over the eyes until the
snake was evidently blind. Its tem
per was now at its worst , and the
snake would rear and strike in the
direction of any sound in its vicinity.
At this time it presented its most hor
rid aspect , as with crackling skin and
clouded eyes it would at any unusual
noise lift its head , open its wide jaws ,
showing the swollen poison gland
above and behind the deadly down-
curving fangs , and reach forth blindly
in the endeavor to follow the sound
to find an object to strike.
I had placed some stones in the box
and after a while I observed the rep
tile when undisturbed had begun to
spend much of its time gliding slowly
back and forth between them , rub
bing against them and against the
side of the box.
Presently I saw that the old skin
had burst at the neck and the sna'ke
in a new skin , fresh and bright in
coor ! , was working out of the old one.
It emerged by degrees , like a grub
from a crysalis , and in a few hours
was at liberty and its eyes resumed
their clearness. The reptile , appar
ently greatly relieved , was lying beside
its discarded cuticle , which preserved
much of the shape of its former wear
er , and at a hasty glance might be
taken for another snake.
The massasaiUja was destinpd to
participate in a new adventure more
tragic than had attended that of
Ethel. As I have said , its box was in
my sleeping room. One September
evening I had gone to bed and fallen
asleep as usual. On the day previous
I had drawn from the bank a consid
erable sum of money which was then
"in my room. I was awakened a little
aiter midnight by some one stirring in
the apartment , the door of which I
had locked on retiring.
I opened my eyes , but lay motion-
less in order to verify my impressions
without indicating that I was awake ,
for I thought I detected the mufled
footfalls of two persons ; then some
one cautiously crossed the room and
leaned over my bed.
I was surprised , and knowing it to
be of no use to stir , lay still with
closed eyes , feigning sleep , as tho
flash of a dark lantern was thrown
full on my face. I remained perfectly
quiet and breathed easily and natur
ally. The man , after a long look ,
was evidently satisfied of the genuine
ness of my slumber. He still stayed
by me , but spoke in a whisper in
thieves' slang to his companion.
"He's kipping fast enough. Take
the darkey and go ahead , and I'll
pipe him. "
As he spoke , 1 felt him lap a heavy
bar convenient to his hand on the
counterpane.
I could hear the other moving
about softly lifting and searching my
clothes , opening drawers , and by the
light of a dark lantern examining
every part of the room. Presently he
turned and came bock to the other.
"I've looked the room over and
got the trinkets but can't find the
leather with the dust in. I'll try if
there's anything under the pillow.
If ho nio\-es , stop him. " I felt
a hand stealing under my pillow ,
moving about stealthily , and my
package of bank notes was presently
found and withdrawn. I could hear
my gold repeater ticking from a bag
the burglar held in one hand as he
bent forward over me.
• 'I've got the stuff , " he whispered ,
"I'll just take another look around
the room. There's a box hero that
looks like a jewel case. "
He moved across the room and
came near the box which held the
snake. Through my half closed eyes
I saw him cast down the light from
his lantern on the"glass. . j
"I can't make it out , Bill. There
seems to be something in the case.
I can see the sparks insidejbut I can't
find any lock. Had I best take the
chances to bust her open ? " j
The man beside me took up the
J
- . i
heavy bar he had laid on the edge of
tho bed , and I felt him poise it over
my head.
"Go ahead , " ho said. "If he wakes
I'll put him to sleep. "
I could hear tho man lny the bag on
tho floor , and then followed the quick
cutting sound of a diamond pnssing
over tho glass. Then came two or
three quick taps and tho fall of a
piece of glass into the box. Tho rat
tle of the massasauga was rustling
dangerously within , and the sound
quickened as the man put his hand
and arm in the aperture he had made
and felt about the interior of tho box.
Then something moved quickly
within , and the man started back
with a wild cry of pain and
alarm , and pulled out. liis arm with
such force as to throw down tho box.
He drew forth with it the massasauga
fastened to his hand , which ho wrung
in pain and terror. The snake drop
ped writhing on tho floor , coiled , and
kept up his rattle , which had not
stopped.
At tho man's exclaimation , thaono
at my bedside demanded angrily ,
"What's the matter , you fool , yelling
out like that ? Do you want to raise
the house on us ? "
"Jim , I'm a dead man. I'm snake-
bit. Look out for rattlesnakes. The
floor is covered with them. "
The snake was getting in his work
with his rattle in good shape , and
made the room resound. The man
beside the bed got nervous. The oth
er , with a moan or two of pain , and
groped his way out of the room , and
his retreating stept could be heard on
the stairway. Tho man at my side
muttered a curse.
"He can't be such a fool as to have
left the swag. Anyway , I'm not go
ing to hunt for it in a room that's a
den of rattlesnakes. "
The rattle reverberating sounded as
though the room was full of snakes.
The burglar could stand it no longer ,
but stepping high and long as he
crossed tho room , precipitately fol
lowed his comrade down the stairs
shutting all doors as he went after
him , as is the custom of burglars. As
the noise of their departure died
away the snake quieted , and I heard
him no more that night.
In the morning I found the snake
still coiled up on the floor , and be
side it lay the bag dropped by the
burglar , and which held intact all the
plunder of the household. On ac
count of the service he had done I
changed my plan for the destruction
of the massasauga , and having ex
tracted his poison gland , gave it to
a public museum , which desired to
add a live rattlesnake to its collect
ion. When I last visited the museum ,
a year or so after the event , the
snake lay in apparent content in a
den among a silent coterie of its fel
lows. It was wholly undemonstra
tive and did not so much as give me
a rattle of recognition. The bur
glars were never heard of again by
me , and whether the wounded man
lived or died remains unknown.

This may seem a 1 arge sum for a
a small article , but it was virtually
paid by a man of great resources ,
who had an ingeneous expedient for
saving the horse flesh of the world.
About ten years ago a veterinary sur
geon , who was with the army in
Bombay , found that the excessive
heat of that country caused the tops
of the horses' neck3 to sweat freely ,
and thereby produce sores under the
leather collars. All the expedients
that he could suggest were of no avail
to remedy this state of things. One-
fourth of the horses used ior draught
purposes were laid up by what i >
called "sore neck. " This "vet" in his
younger days had studied chemistry ,
and he found that sulphate of zinc
wa& the best and almost the only
cure for horses' "sore necks , " but the
difficulty in applying this preparation
lay in the fact that the horse had to
rest during the time of its applica
tion , otherwise the collar would rub
it off , and there was no chance
of the horses' recovery. A
thought struck him that to make a
zinc pad and fit it uuder the collar
would , at any rate prove an aemfior-
ative , aud may be cure. The man ,
though ingenious in his ways , was
much given to drink , and was looked
upou by officers of the army as a
"ne'er-do-wee" with bright ideas.
While this idea was simmering in his
mind , and before he had pub it into
an actual test , he happened to be in
a drinking bar. His finances were at
this time at the lowest ebb , for his
future pay was mortgaged for all it
was worth , and the publican refused
to trust him with any more drinks.
An American "drummer" happened
to be rep resell ting a largo leather
house , and knew a good deal of the
of the difficulty with which the Amer
ican farmers of the southwest had to
contend. The two men got into con
versation , and , as a natural result ,
the veterinary surgeon spoke of the
idea that was uppermost in his mind ,
and said that ho thought that he
knew of a remedy tor * that most
troublesome of complaints of which
all horses in hot countries suffered.
The American was perfectly convinced
that he was talking to a man of good
ideas , though bad principles , and
asked what he would take for the
idea.
"I am awfully hard up and can get
no more drink on trust , so I will give
you the idea for a glass of beer. "
"JJone ! " said the other.
The American at once saw that
there was probably millions in this ,
and he conceived the notion that the
matter oozing from sores on horses'
necks would corrode the pad and pro
duce sulphate of zinc thus the dis
ease would provide its own remedy.
He also saw that zinc , being a non
conductor of heat , would keep the
parts cool. The more he thought of
it the more he liked it , and although
his business should have kept him in
Bombay some months longer , he in a
few days took the first steamer to
Liverpool and then to 3oston. Ar
riving at Boston , he threw up his ap
pointment with the house and start
ed the manufacturing of zinc pads ,
after obtaining a patent for the idea ,
and is now worth § 200,000. These
zinc pads are used in every country on
earth and are the greatest blessing
the farmer enjoys.

Cluunitncne Cup ami IttrtU.
Champagne enp is tho fashionable cup
after the theatre , and , like Cowper's
famous lino to tea , "it cheers but not
inebriates. " It is made iu a tall glass
pitcher of the tankard shape. The in
gredients are a quart of champagne , a
bottle of English soda , slices of lemon ,
pineapple , a few strawberries and the
rinds of cucumbers , which aro cut tho
full length of the cucumbers. This
gives a delightful flavor and looks at
tractive through the pitch or. It must ,
of course , be real cut glass. And on top
oh , that is the crowning glory a
boquet of mint , through which tho
liquid percolates as it is poured into each
glass , carryingwith it the delicious
taste. Tho whole concoction is fit for
the gods. It is the beau ideal of a
beverage. Everybody eats birds at Del-
monico's , at night that is , everybody
who amounts to anything and cham
pagne cup goes so well with the birds.
You stay on and on studj'ing the crowd ,
every kind and phase of humanity ex
cept the girl and her young man who
stroll out for an ice cream after an even- .
ing of courting. Ices are eaten there ,
of course , but they do not form the piece
de resistance of an evening's outfit.

Hi . Newly ISlcli and tlio Illblc.
By one of those unexpected turns of
fortune which occur in Albany as often
as anywhere , a man who but half a
dozen years ago was a hod carrier , had
become comparatively wealthy. This
change of financial circumstances has
had the usual effect upon the ex-hod
carrier's wife , who enjoys decorating her
adipose form with what she supposes to
be the latest btjdes. She has. also , not
withstanding , an utter disability to read ,
affected a fine literary taste , which she
ostentatiously announces whenever pos
sible. Calling upon a lady whom she
had been hying to make herself ac
quainted with , she picked ' up a book
from the table , and innocent of any
knowledge that it was a copy of tho
Bible , asked tho loan of it for a little
time , as "she had not the book in her
library. " The lady readily consented.
After keeping it about a fortnight her
visitor returned the volume with pro
fuse thanks. "How did you like it ? "
was asked. "Very well , .indeed ; but I
knew how it would turn out before I was
half through. They got married after
all. " Albany Journal.
Varlou * ITjrlj' Pet * .
Ugliness or repelling habits are gen
erally no bar to a lady's feeling when
her pet animal is concerned. Some have
been known to share their bed with an
iguana , which is the most repulsive
looking reptile in Brazil. It is well
known that Bj-ron , among the pets who
accompanied 'him in his travels , pos
sessed a bear ; and Edmund Kean kept a
South American lion as his constant
companion. More ordinary pets might
be quoted , such asyoungwolves , jackals ,
leaopards , and snakes. Even frogs ,
lizards , and hedgehogs have been petted
by men men of repute. "Wblsey be
stowed his affection on a familiar old
carp , Cowper on hares , and Sir John
Lubbock wooded the favor of a Syrian
wasp. Loudon Standard.

Popular Education.
We sympathize with the feeling which of
ten leads citizens to boast that no child
born in this country need grow up in igno
rance , and yet it is a fact that many peo
ple who have learned to read and write
have never taught themselves to think. A
man who suffered from catarrh , consump
tion , tronchitis , scrofula , or "liver com
plaint , " might read , till his eyes dropped
out , how these and many other diseases
hare been cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery , but if he did not take
the 'eason to himself and test the virtue *
of this great medicine , his time would be
thrown away.
