Real Snakes in His Boots
“On at least one occasion I had
snakes in my boots,” said the man
with the red nose to a reporter of the
New Orleans Times-Democrat, ‘and it
was no wild delirious fancy, either.
The snakes were genuine. They were
very much alive, could crawl and
aid crawl, and they had eyes and
fangs and forked tongues and all the
other things which go with a well
made and complete member of the
reptilian species. I had gone out on
a fishing trip with some friends up in
Arkansas, and we were quartered in
a tent on one of the best lakes in the
southeastern section of the state. It
w'as during the hot season, i never
naw as many snakes in all my life ns
we found around that lake, and they
were of all sizes, shapes and colors.
The heat was so intense—It was dur
ing a severe drought of 1SS1—that all
the snakes of that section gathced
around the lake in an effort, no dc**tt,
to keep cool. They would slip down
•?o the water's edge, burrow in the mud
and cut ether curious capers because
of the prevailing drought.
“Late in the evening they would
take a whirl at swimming, wriggling
out Into the lake for some distance,
and then pull back to the shore again.
I mention these facts merely to show
that snakes were plentiful in that sec
tion. The heat had made them des
perate, but we never anticipated any
trouble from this source. We pitched
our tent at the head of the lake, and
were Inclined to gloat somewhat over
the splendid location we had securet
and the coziness of our surrounding:
generally. Of course we had th® usua
quantity of stimulating things which
belong to a first-class fishiug outfit,
and to tell the truth about the matter,
I had been pulling away at the jug and
popping beer bottles until L was just
a little shaky. After we had been out
| about a week I began to see things
I that a man under ordinary circum
| stances could not see. 1 was just in
| this condition one morning when I
rolled out of my cot to begin the day's
sport. The sun had been up for some
! time.
| "My boots were standing beside the
j cot w here I had put them the night be
fore. In throwing ray legs over the
side of the cot I knocked both boots
over. You can guess how I felt when
i two or three snakes wriggled out of my
boots. 1 simply went up in the air. My
nerves were in no condition to be
tampeied with. I couldn't get out of
the cot. and I couldn’t stay in it. I
simply felt like melting into thin air.
One of my friends witnessed the
whole thing, although I did not knew
it at the time. I was ashamed to say
anything about the snakes until be
brought the question up. Finally he
said something nbout the snakes that
| had spent the night in my boots, and
I'll swear to you I never felt better in
my life, for up to that time I was very
much in doubt about the genuineness
of the vision. I was glad to know that
the snakes were real live snakes.”
Prowess of a Wire Mattress
Bronson had never taken a wire
mattress to pieces, but he always
thought he could. The mattress was
too big to go up the stairway ot the
new house except on the instalment
plan, and it had to go up there, the
thing being so ordered by Mrs. Bron
son. Bronson examined the mattress
and found that it was compbsed of
four modified scantlings, framed to
gether by bolts and kept firm by the
wire web. He diagnosed the case as
one requiring a monkey wrench, and
after he had scarcned half or three
quarters ot an hour he found the
wrench. He noticed that the nuts on
the bolt turned hard, but said that
they were rusty, and a little patience
would conquer.
When the nuts finally came off the
two end frames flew together like
long-lost sisters and shut Bronson up
in the folds of the web like a salmon
in a gillnet. He goi. out after a while,
ana when he had expressed himself
succinctly carried the mattress up
stairs, where he $et about putting it
together again. 'io his great surprise
he found that the web had shrunk
about four sizes and that the frames
refused to resume their former posi
tions. He tugged and hauled for a
while, but the sticks had an irritating
habit of wrenching themselves out of
his grasp and joining forces, and he
always happened to be in the trajec
tory of one of them.
At last he nailed two of the scant
lings to the floor and began drawing
the other two into their places. Mrs.
Bronson here entered the struggle, but
still further reinforcements were re
quired, and the children came. The
family lined up along one stick and
pulled till Bronson strained his wrist,
and let go. Then the web got in its
work, and two children were thrown
violently to the ceiling, while Mrs.
Bronson, caught by the escaping
frame, was knocked breathless.
Bronson feaid a few things, gathered
up the children and renewed the at
tempt. But the esprit de corps was
gone from the community efforts, and
after a few further trials, in which
the list of injured was like that of an
excursion train accident, Bronson sum
moned a neighbor. The two men toiled
ail the afternoon, and then the fleigh
bor let go of the straining web at the
wrong time. It was Bronson's jaw
that suffered. Bronson thought he'dld
it purposely, and the two fought earn
estly and convincingly for half an
hour, at the end of which time the
neighbor's wife came and called him
to supper.
"Mv dear.” said Bronson that even
ing, when the doctor left the house, ”1
think if the second-hand man will give
you 25 cents for that mattress you had
better take it. I always despised that
second-hand man. and this will be a
glorious opportunity to show my ill
will toward him."—Portland Oregon

Huge Sums for Church Work
One would not be surprised to learn
that the attempt of the Northern
Methodists to raise $20,000,000 as a
twentieth century fund had been aban
doned as Impracticable. But the fact
is that $17,000,000 has already
been subscribed, and the remaining ;
$3,000,000 may he fairly said to be in !
sight, says the Watchman of Boston, i
This great sum is to be devoted to j
freeing Methodist churches from debt, '
and for educational work. Methodism
in the United States for the next five .
hundred years is certain to receive a
mighty impulse from this great
achievement.
The September number of the
Church Economist gives the result of
careful investigation to show how
other denominatians are getting on
with their twentieth century funds.
The Methodists of Canada set their
figures at $1,000,000, and they have
raised $250,000 more than that, and
the Presbyterians of Canada put their
mark at $1,000,000, and have already
obtained $1,430,000, with a probability
that they will receive $150,000 more.
The English Methodists have raised
$4,600,000; the English Congregatlon
alists, who sought $2,000,000, have se
cured $3,312,000; the English Baptists,
who put their figure at $1,250,000. have
already received $1,000,000, and the
Congregationalists of Wales, who set
out to secure $100,000 in five years,
have received $860,000 in three years.
The Economist reckons that the
churches have secureu $30,000,000 of
the $40,000,000 proposed, and that the
movement in all its branches is prov
ing an unexpected and overwhelming
success. Doubtless the entire sum
proposed will be secured.
One of the interesting features con
nected with this movement is that the
raising of these huge sums has not di
minished regular contributions for de
nominational causes. It was feared
that offerings for missions would be
lessened, but that has not been the
case.
Again the assertion has been demon
strated that there is no flved sum
for benevolence, like the alleged
“wage fund” of the political econom
ists, which cannot be diverted to one
cause except at the cost of others. It
lias been shown that gifts depend on
the inculcation of the giving spirit and
that the larger the gifts the larger
they will be.
These great sums have not been
contributed by syndicates of rich men.
For the most part they have coma
from people in moderate circum
stances.

SUSPICIOUS OF THE BRANDY.
Reason Why Congressman Hull Pro*
ferred Admiral Evans’ Whisky.
Here is a good story of Admiral Rob
ley D. Evans, of the navy, which some
of his associates are telling; Soon
after the close ot the Spanish war the
people of Iowa decided to present a
sword to Capt. Evans as a memento
of his command of the battleship Iowa
in the Santiago fight. The presenta
tion was made at the home of Admiral
Evans in Washington. Mrs. Evans
assisted her husband in entertaining
the guests and presided over the colla
tion which was served in the dining
room after the speeches were con
cluded. "Bob” did not make a very
elaborate address, but soon after the
close of the formalities he said a few
words which were highly appreciated
by those who heard them. "Step into
this room,” said the naval hero; "we'll
have a cigar and a toddy.” Leading
the way into a cozy den. Capt. Evans
said: "I ran out of my favorite brand
of whisky yesterday and was com
pelled to stock up with some that l
don't know much about. But here is
some brandy that I do know something
about; it has been in this house for
more than twenty years.” Turning to
Representative Hull, he added, "Which
will you take, governor?"
"Just hand over that whisky decan
ter,” responded Mr. Hull.
"Why. what s the matter with the
brandy?" asked Evans in a tone of
surprise.
“I don't know. Bob,” said Hull, “but
If you have had it in the house for
twenty years without drinking it thero
must be something the matter with it
I’ll take the whisky.”
And Cap. Bob retired under the roar
of laughter.
Energy and Cheerfulness.
A minister writing from Rome tells
of the blessings brought to the Pope
by his busy and cheerful life, say
ing:
“Twenty-five years ago an old man,
weak and thin, was selected by the
Sacred College to be the successor of
St. Peter at Rome. None of his con
temporaries thought he would live
long. But he shut himself up In the
Vatican and kept busy and cheerful,
and has seen all of his colleagues of a
quarter of a century ago pass away
from earth. The lesson here is that
energy and cheerfulness are powerful
tonics to the body, and a long life is
the natural tendency of a right spirit.
Not that happy natures always reach
old age, but that the Joy of the Lord
is the strength of human life. It mat
ters not so much what may be the
circumstances surrounding life, the
great token of success is the spirit
with which we meet the world. A
Joyous heart is the Christian man’s
Impregnable stronghold.”
Truly a “Devil’s Trap.”
Recently a foreign naturalist named
Dtinstan, was walking near the bank
of Lake Nicaragua when suddenly he
heard his dog howling at a little dis
tance behind him. Rushing to the ani
mal's assistance, he found that it
was in the grasp of three black and
greasy thongs which had coiled them
selves around us neck and had torn it
so badly that blood was flowing in
several places. After some difficulty
the naturalist freed the dog and in a
few days its wounds were healed.
The thongs, which imprisoned the
animal were the principal portion of
a plant which Is known among the
natives of Nicaragua as the “devil’s
trap.” It is composed of black, flex
ible, leafless branches, which secrete
a viscuous fluid, and which are pro
vided with numerous tiny hooks.
At Sea on Land.
A clergyman who had neglected all
knowledge of nautical affairs was
asked to deliver an address before an
audience of sailors.
He was discoursing on the stormy
passages of life. Thinking he could
make his remarks more pertinent to
his hearers by metaphorically using
sea expressions he said:
“Now., triends, you know that when
you are at sea in a storm the thing
you do is anchor.”
A half-concealed snicker spread over
the room, and the clergyman knew
that he had made a mistake.
After the services one of his listen
ers came to him and said: “Mr. -,
have you ever been at sea?”
The minister replied:
“No, unless it was while I was de
livering that address.”
Water Substitute for Coal.
Herr Thormann, a noted Austrian
engineer, has for several months
been studying the waterfalls in Switz
erland, and has come to the conclus
ion that they can he utilized in con
nection with electricity as a motive
power for all the trains on Swiss rail
roads. He has discovered twenty
two waterfalls, the force of which Is
equivalent to 86,000 horse power, and
this is more than is needed, ar 60,000
horse power would be quite sufficient.
Switzerland is obliged to import at
considerable expense all the coal that
is used on her railroads, and therefore
it will readily be seen that she would
gain a good deal by adopting Herr
Thormann’s suggestion.
Languages of India.
Twenty-eight languages are spoken
In India, and none of these is spoken
by few'er than 400,000 persons, while
the most general is the mother tongue
of 85,600,000. Besides these (here are
• n the remotest parts of the country
iialects spoken by no more than 500
persons, which none other than them
selves can interpret. India has nine
great creeds, numbering their follow
ers from the 208,000,000 Hindoos down
to tho 9,250,000 Anlmistics and the
Innumerable sects included in the 43,
000 "others.”
BTATJS OF GERMAN WOMEN- j
' Female Emancipation Made Lit
tle Progress.
Although German poets vie with
one another in extolling the “eterned
feminine ideal.” there is no country ,
where the emancipation of woman, 1
which forms the great feature of
modern life in England and in the
United States, had made so little
progress. An amusing instance of
this occurred some days ago in tho
Prussian chamber of deputies, on an
Interpellation as to the right of wo
men to take part in political meet
ings.
The minister of the interior, with
his hair on end, his face pale with
emotion, and a voice quivering with
excitement, replied that although it
wTould not legally be permissable to
bar the door against a woman desir
ous of attending a political gathering,
every possible means should be taken
! to prevent her from speaking. In
other words, he declared, amid cheers
from the outer part of the house, that
women, like children, should be seen
but not heard.
Womenphobsa has always been a
German characteristic, says the Lon
don Graphic. The admission of wo
men into the civil service met with
the most violent opposition in Ger
many long after female clerks and
telegraphists had been successfully
employed in England and in France.
The right of women to practice medi
cine was called in question only three
years ago when a committee of ex
perts declared that the idea was too
preposterous to be seriously discuss
ed. In 1899 a proposal to establish
gymnasia for girls was likened by the
Prussian minister of worship ‘‘to a
little spark which should be put out
at once, lest it should break into a
flame.”
i3ut there are many signs that even
'he German woman is growing im*
oatient of her. part as upper house
maid, and in the consciousness of
being a thinking entity, with a sepa
rate life of her own, demands to take
her share in the national public life.
Antiquit) of "Shoo.”
“ ‘Shoo’ is the only utterance you
can make to startle chickens,” says
an observant young man. "You can
shout at them until you get blue in
the face, but that won't frighten them
away, if such i3 your intention. But
the minute you say ‘shoo’ they scam
per. People ‘shoo’ chickens the world
over. The Jap ‘shoos’ his chickens,
and so does the Hindu, the Kaffir, the
Russian, German, Briton—everybody.
Why does this hissing sound instantly
startle fowl, when a shout or other
human utterance will not? Have you
ever thought it out? Well, you can
put it down that ‘shoo’ waa one of the
first utterances that man learned to
make. In primitive days the world
was overrun with reptilian creatures,
and these no doubt preyed on fowl,
just as snakes nowadays have a fond
ness for birds. Feathered bipeds nat
urally came to recognize in the hiss
the presence of their mortal enemy
and took fright when it was heard.
Primitive man would, of course,
notice and appreciate the effect of the
sibilant utterance. It's a cinch that
our remote forefathers would put the
hiss into use when the progenitors
of our modern chickens came straying
where they were not wanted, and
there, you see, we get ‘shoo.’ A chick
en runs when you say ’shoo’ because
of an instinct that has come down
in the breed from the days when fowl
recognized their foe by the hiss.”
Scripture Cake.
There was a church bazaar in the
village of Comrle, Strathearn, Scot
land, Aug. 23, and a novelty at one of
the stalls was a sale of what was
called "scripture cake,” which was in
great demand. It was made according
to the following recipe: Take four and
one-half cups of I. Kings 4:22 (first
clause); one and one half cups of
Judge 5:25 (last clause); two cups of
Jeremiah 5:20; two cups of I. Samuel
30:12; two cups of Nahum 3:12; one
cup of Numbers 17:8; two tablespoon
fuls of I. Samuel 15:25; season to taste
with II. Chronicles 9:9, six of Jere
miah 17:11, a pinch of Leviticus 2:13,
half a cup of Judges 4:19 (baking pow
der). Finally, follow Solomon’s pre
scription, Proverbs 23:15, for making
a good child, and you will have a good
cake.
New Bloom.
I heard the lilies growing In the night
| When none did hark;
i knew they made a glimmer, dimly
white.
In the cool dreaming dark.
Nothing the garden knew—
So soft they grew—
Until they stood new-risen In the light,
For all to mark.
I heard the dreams ■tlll-growlng In the
night;
Nor was there one
That I saw clear or, seeing, named
aright;
Cut when the night was done.
The fragrance to be
Awakened me;
I saw their faces leaning glad and
white
Toward thee, their sun.

His eomplaiants set forth that his wife

states that they lived happily together
for three years, until, in the winter
of 1900, she contracted the matinee
habit. She would go to the theater
five or six times a week, devoting her
attention chiefly to continuous per
formances and to vaudeville. The hus
