    Rtlncj Exposition Tltltor*.
C It is ft remarkable fact that any one
ward in Philadelphia—you might al
most Bay any division of one ward—
contributes more to charity in one
week than the Paris exposition did
during its entire run,” said a young
man of the Quaker city who has Just
returned from the. French capital.
"When the exposition was opened
boxes were placed all through the
grounds, embellished with signs in va
rious languages, setting forth the fact
that the contents would be devoted to
■ harity. Millions of people visited the
exposition and must have seen these
boxes, for they were conspicuously
displayed. They were not examnied
until after the close of the exposition;
and how much do you suppose they all
contained? Less than $12! That's a
fine record for charity, isn't it?”

NEW YORK SNAKES.
Tweat;-Five Klud* In the State and
Three Are rolnonou*.
Edwin C. Eckel of the New York
State museum at Albany has compiled
facts which show that in New York
state 25 kinds of snakes have been
found, or can reasonably be expected
to occur. Of these several are only
varieties, says the New York Sun.
The list of snakes is as follows: The
worm snake, ring-necked snake,
blowing adder, green snake, black
snake, racer, pine snake, milk snake,
brown snake, De Kay's brown snake,
three species of garter snakes, copper
head. masasauga or prairie rattlesnake
and the banded rattlesnake. It is of
some interest to note that only the last
three of the above list are poisonous.
Of these, the copperhead is found usu
ally in marshy or swampy land, while
the banded or common rattlesnake is
commonly an inhabitant of rocky hills.
The masasauga is a smaller species
than the banded rattlesnake and has
never been found in this state except
in one swamp near the Genesee river.
Both the copperhead and the rattle
snake are much rarer than is common
ly supposed, the latter being practic
ally confined to the Adirondack region
and to those parts of Orange and Rock
land counties which fall within the
highlands of the Hudson. Deaths
from their bite are very rare, probably
not exceeding, in this state, one case
in five years. The copperhead, while
smaller than the rattlesnake, and
therefore less venomous, is generally
regarded as the more dangerous of the
two species. This is due to the fact
that the rattlesnake will, in general,
give warning of his intention to strike,
while the copperhead lies silently and
motionless until his victim is within
reach of his fangs. Though frequently
one sees in print descriptions of meth
ods by which poisonous snakes can be
differentiated from harmless species,
few of the tests commonly given can
lie applied at a safe distance, and some
of them are not applicable to all of
our poisonous snakes. For example,
it has been often stated that the pois
onous snakes have many small scales
covering the tops of their heads, while
the harmless varieties are covered with
a few comparatively largo plates. This
is true as far as the banded rattlesnake
is concerned, but both the masasauga
and the copperhead have the large
head-plates like harmless snakes. The
thickness of thti body is also, to some
degree, a sign of a poisonous snake,
but the harmless blowing adder also
possesses this peculiarity. The head
of the poisonous snakes is very mark
edly triangular, looked at from above,
while the neck is comparatively thin
and well marked off from both body
and head. In the harmless species on
the contrary, the head is more or less
unmarked.
Doctor'! Diseases Almost Unconquerable.
That medical practitioner who as
pires to reach the Scriptural age of
threescore and ten will be discouraged
at the figures which have been com
piled by Alfred Moeglich, one of those
Germans given to the habit of disa
greeable statistics. According to Moeg
lich the average time of death for u
doctor varies from 52 to 66 years,
while for the clergy it is ten years
later. The combination of pedagogy
with medicine appears to be particu
larly fatal, for one set of figures In
which the normal death rate is repre
sented by 100 gives 111 as the factor
for physicians, and 113.8 for medical
instructors. Of the causes of death in
fectious diseases rank highest, and
among these typhoid fever occupies
so prominent a place as almost to
entitle it to characterization as an oc
cupation disease. Tuberculosis comes
next, the death rate from this cause
among physicians being almost dou
ble that of the clergy. Altogether it
is rather a melancholy fact to realize
that the men whose life work it is to
teach others how to keep their health
or to regain it if lost, should them
selves be unable to profit by their own
knowledge, and should be so complete
ly at the mercy of the great bodily
and mental stress to which their call
ing subjects them.
l.auiu lilnR lllg Battleships.
It costs from $4,000 to $8,000 to
launch a battleship—for the launch
ing only. One of Cramp s men says:
"The building of the ways for the
ship to slide down over is the main
item, and then comes the greasing.
Every inch of timber over which the
vewsel slides must be covered with a
lubricant. Soap and tallow form the
main ingredients. We use a layer of
beef tallow and a layer of soft soap.
Between one and one and a half tons
of the stuff is required to move the
average battleship. The tallow is
spread on first, to the depth of about
three fingers, and the workmen use
big. flat trowels to make the surface
as smooth as possible. Then they pour
over the soft soap, which is Just thick
enough to run, or about the consist
ency of tar. The double coating an
swers admirably, and the ship glides
into the water as if it were sailing on
air. If it sticks, it is likely to spring
some of the vessel's plates, and acci
dents of that kind are so costly that
nothing is spared to avert them.”
Preparing for Missionary Work.

William Uallinger, eldest son of the

Brother I^eo will be formally ordained

after that date Father Leo will go out

Is well. She says: “1 cannot praise
Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly for
what they have done for me. I was
troubled for three years with weakness,
and often had dizzy spells, so that I
dared not go out alone. My head would
ache continually for four or five days
at a time, until life became simply a
burden.
“All the medicine I took did me no
good, until my physician advised me
to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. 1 secured
a box, and soon found that my head
ache was leaving me. I felt encourag
ed and kept on taking them and get
ting stronger. The pains gradually
diminished, until I had used four
boxes, and all trace of pain had gone.
I am today a strong and well woman,
thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. If the
price was one dollar per pill, instead
of 60c a box, they would be cheap,
compared with other so-called medi

Red, Rough Hands, Itching, Burning
Palms, and Painful Finger Ends*
One Night Treatment
• Soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of CUTICURA SOAP, Dry,
and anoint freely with CUTICURA, the great
skin cure and purest of emollients. Wear, during
the night, old, loose kid gloves, with the finger
ends cut off and air holes cut in the palms. For
red, rough, chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching,
feverish palms, with shapeless nails and painful
finger ends, this treatment is simply wonderful,
and points to a speedy cure of the most distress
ing cases when physicians and all else fail.
Cared by Culicura
1WAS troubled with hands so sore that when I put them in water the tain
would near set me crazy, the skin would peel off, and the flesh would get hard
and break, then the blood would flow from at least fifty places on each hand.
Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three years.
I tried at least eight doctors, but my hands were worse than when I commenced
doctoring. I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one
cent’s worth of good and could not even get relief.
I would feil so badly mornings when I got up, to think that I had to go to work
and stand pain for eight or nine hours, Uiat I often felt like giving up my Job,
which was in the bottling works of Mr. E. L. Kerns, the leading cottier of Trenton,
N. J., who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings.
i Before I could start to work, I would have to wrap each finger on both hands,
and then wear gloves, which I hated to do, for when I came (#take them off, it
would take two hours and the flesh would break and bleed. Some of my friends
who had seen my hands would say, "If they had such hands they would have
them amputated”» others would say "they would never work,” and more would
turn away in disgust. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of skin cures, it
ended all my sufferings.
Just to think, after doctoring three years, and spending dollar after dollar during
that time, Cuticura cured me. It has now been two years since I used it and I
do not know what tore hands are. I never lost a day’s work while I was using
ft or since, and I have been working at the same business, and in acids, etc.
