Not Kill the Victim It may seem absurd to clnlm that there are cases where he bite of a rat tlesnake Is not fatal yet such have happened and to understand these it Is necessary only to understand the man ner in which this reptile strikes The spectacle of a rattlesnake at bay Is one a beholder never forgets The great long body lies coiled in a tense spiral the very embodiment of wick edness Poised In air the white bellied fore body Is bent Into a horizontal S rigid as an iron bar Raised from the middle of the spiral is the tail quiver ing like a twanged banjo string and emitting a rattle like steam escaping from the pet cock of a radiator or lUce the sound of a mowing machine in a distant hayfield Awe inspiring the dread flat triangular head eyes gleam ing black and cold as icy steel is ready to strike As the grewsome mouth opens wide and pink the long thin poi son fangs arise from a horizontal posi tion anil stand upright like a pair of slender curved needle pointed shad bones ready for business Like a flash far too quick for the eye to follow the snake strikes sending home its fangs an Inch or two and in that same frac tion of an instant he has squirted a ta blespoonful of canary yellow viscous fluid into the wound and lies colled ready for a second attack In this incomprehensibly swift attack lies the answer why sometimes the bite of a rattler is not fatal for so won derfully swift is the attack that a bite may be imperfect leaving only a pair of tiny needle punctures with just enough venom to make a victim seri ously 111 Another reason why a rattlesnakes bite Is not always fatal is that tempo rarily the reptile may be without ven om The snake may have exhausted its poison on a previous enemy in which case it would have to wait several days before the deadly fluid has reaccumu Iated or again the vipers fangs may have suffered accident They may have been broken off and require time for new growth In any case certain it is that a rattlesnakes poison applied in the proper way will do its work and then only the most expert and prompt assistance will save a victim A W Rolker in Pearsons Magazine To Cure a Cold in One Day Take laxative bromo quinine tablets

The War a Fond Mother Jolce on Her Son Went AMtrny Bishop Maxwell Is it not Inquir ed Mrs Spauldiug cordially as her guest came down to breakfast suit case in hand I feel that I know you through my son and I was so glad when he arranged to have you stay with us on your -way through the city But what does this luggage mean Xbure going to stay a day or so No thank you Mrs Spauldiug re turned the bishop I must go right on today Oh that makes it doubly unfor tunate that I had to be away last even ing I hope you found my message of explanation The friend I was called to was very 111 and I felt sure you would understand but the fact tliit Mr Spauldiug was out of town too made me regret going especially I do hope my maid took care of you comfortably and that you rested well I thought you must have been wesry when I came in at 10 and found you had retired The bishop replied politely but there was an odd constraint In his manner which lasted until he had bowed him self out of the house after breakfast What can bo the matter puzzed Mrs Spauldlng as she watched the distinguished gentleman stalking down the street Dick was so anxious he should like us Then a sickening thought struck her and she darted up the stairs It had been Mrs Spauldiugs custom during the bojhood of her only son to correct his failings by posting about the house little placards which gently pleaded with him on the error of his ways A week or two earlier when Dick was coming horae for a college vacation she had unearthed some of these old sns and just for a joke had pinned them up in his room like old times They had been taken down later but she remembered now that after being summoned to the sick friend the morning before she had ed her new and not brilliant maid to Dicks door and had said I want this room swept and arranged for Bish op Maxwell exactly as we did it for Mr Dick last week Do you under stand With wings on her feet Mrs Spauld lng flew to the room the bishop had oc cupied but at the threshold she paused and gasped On one of the pillows was a staring notice to this effect Please put your bed airing in the morning Over the mirror Please dont spatter the glass On the window curtain Please dont throw your shoes on the floor noisily Everywhere on pictures and wall Please dont leave your coat on a chair Hang it up Please dont leave you toothbrush in the bath room Please turn off the hot water faucet There were at least fifteen of these placards the Please underlined three or four times in each but ihorror of horrors the largest of all was this on the inside of the door If you take a bath please wash out the tub Its dis graceful not to Youths Companion The American Accent There is no such thing as the Amer ica accent except in a few words such as advertisement wherein America Is superior as to pronunciation and prac tice Nor does the American born man talk through his nose The real dif ference that we all notice is a differ ence in the general pitch of voice The American voice is pitched in a slightly higher key than the English and here you may find the reason why the American assimilates French so easily Put roughly the case is this The Frenchman talks from his palate the American from the top of his throat the Englishman from his chest and -the German from his diaphragm London Chronicle First of the Lazy Men During the civil war a captain of a company which had sixty men in its ranks none of whom was as crgetic as the officer thought he should be hit upon a plan which he believed would cure the mens habits of lazi ness One morning after roll call the captain addressing his command said I have a nice easy job for the lazi est man In the company Will the laziest man step to the front Instantly fifty nine men each took a step forward Why didnt you step to the front Inquired the commander of the one man who did not come I was too lazy replied the soldier Philadelphia Ledger Shopping Tronliles Tomorrow is my wifes birthday and I want to buy a

Judge It often happens that the man who pays the piper has nothing left for his treditors Puck ta HUMAN JEALOUSY fhe Difference Between the Paealoa In a Man and n Woman The mans jealousy is a stormy sea flooding everything tearing down and devouring everything In him that is strong tilling his innermost heart ab sorbing all rivers of feeling and de stroying his mind The womans Jeal ousy Is a narrow turbulent treacherous torrent which hides its depth and high above which rise hard and silent banks It heightens her sensibility and strengthens her mind The jealous man is a wrathful lion he Is noble and hunger only forces him to tear his prey to pieces The jealous woman is nn infuriated snake she is vain and passion only tempts her to sting The anger of the jealous man Is directed against the object of his love and interrupts his love and that of the jealous woman Is directed against her rivals and her love is intensified by It Jealousy makes a fool of a man it makes him ridiculous and lowers him in the love nnd esteem of the woman but n woman gains In wit and charm by her jealousy and it makes her more attrac tive to the man Jealousy is a terrible sharp weapon which n woman uses lightly in order to cut a few sweets on which to feed her vanity often she even wounds with it the man she loves In order to enjoy his sufferings The man disdains this cruel thing though did lie use It It would rarely miss its object of awakening the dormant love of a woman of bringing hidden love to the surface and of creating love where there was none From The German of Borne PYGMY HIPPO AND ELAND Tvre Aninmlw of Africa That Are Practically Unkiioirn There are two animals practically un known to the outside Avorld These are the pygmy or Liberian hippopotamus and the Derbian eland The first named is Just what Its name Implies a pygmy hippopotamus differing from the larger and common variety in three respects only In the first place it is much smaller than the common Hippopota mus amphiblus being no larger than an ordinary fair sized hog In the sec ond place it differs somewhat from the common hippo in the character of Its teeth and in the third place instead of spending its time In the rivers and lakes in large herds it wanders about through the jungles singly or in pairs much after the manner of swine in search of mast Owing to the fact that it does not go in herds and is hard to distinguish against the dark back ground of jungle thickets it is an ex ceedingly difficult animal to hunt or find If anything the legs of the dwarf Liberian hippopotamus are a trifle lon ger in proportion than are those of the common river hippopotamus Next to the Liberian hippopotamus the Derbian eland of west Africa which the Mandingoes call jinke jan ko is today the least known of all rare and strange animals Outing The Printers Devil Aldus Manutius a printer in Venice to the holy church and the doge em ployed a negro boy to help him in his office The boy was believed to be an imp of satan and went by the name of the printers devil In order to pro tect him from persecution and confute a foolish superstition Manutius made a public exhibition of the boy and an nounced that any one who doubted him to be flesh and blood might come for ward and pinch him to make sure The mistaken impression was removed but before this time the name printers devil had been attached to the boy and was thenceforth applied generally to the boyish assistants in a printing of fice Ruler of Russia Title The general allusion to the ruler of Russia as the czar is strictly speaking incorrect His official title is em peror and autocrat Czar Is the old Russian word for lord or prince and was abandoned by Peter the Great on his triumphal return from Poltava his crowning victory over Charles XIL of Sweden Since then the Russian monarch has been officially entitled emperor and at the congress of Vien na in 1S15 his right to the imperial term was admitted by the powers with the proviso that though he was emperor he had no precedence- over the kings of western Europe St James Gazette The Lawyers Hahit The legal formality of addressing a court sticks to many a lawyer
