A FEARFULLY BUILT SNAKE.

to tais Aaaaaat,
Here is a snake story which womld
ream to indicate that the sea serpent
has a special fondness for summer so
fourners at'tho ocean's edge, and since
they are rather scarce this year, hennas
taken todry land and gone far" in
land. The story is told by a "corre-
spondent of the Chicago Chronicle in
Anderson, Ind. .Howard Lewis, a fann
er Hvingfour miles Treat of the city,
in the neighborhood of the dismal
swamp, made famous for years by its
snakes, was out, In the fields working.
His father-in-law was with him. They
ran onto a monster reptile while at
wcrk and his snakeshlp was most ag
gressive from that on until he was laid
cut dead, by the two men. They no
ticed his remarkable points and dragged
blm home with them to substantiate the
story which they give. The authorities
en snakes are puxxled in placing this
one and the indications are that they
will not be able to find a place for faint
in the snake column. He Was twelve
feet three inches long and among hi
other remarkable points had a pair of
wings and three horns. His head' was
long and flat and set with a solitary
eye In the very center. On each side
or this was a horn three Inches in
length, carving in. , They were solid
and .well pointed. Back of the eye, in
the center of the head, was a third horn
extending back like that of the rhi
noceros. His snakeshlp tapered to each
?nd. In the broadest place he. was eight
inches In diameter when lying dead,
while in life he was probably larger.
Ills tall was fashioned after that of a
ewordfish, and in the very center of his
body, where he was the broadest, was a
perfectly formed 'pair of wings, rather
small in comparison with his other
points, but wings for all that It is
net known what use he had for these.
He was of a dark color, but his extraor
dinary tail was set with spots ot bril
liant green and an occasional stripe ran
from his head to his tail. Farmers at
tribute the loss of all live stock, from a
pig to a horse, to the reptile, so awe
inspiring was he.
A MYSTERIOUS SPRINQ.
It lias Tire Surfaces and Oaa Uai
arnand Inlot sad X Outlet.
From the New York Sun: "There isn't
much to say about the little village of
Toy, up in Wayne county," said a citi
zen of that quiet hamlet in the pepper
mint belt, "except that just outside of it
!s a spring which is undoubtedly un
like any other spring in the world. That
spring hasn't any visible outlet, but it
has two very visible inlets, thus re
versing the natural order of springs.
Springs ara usually the sources ot
streams. That one is just the oposite.
One of the inlets of the spring Is a
rlverlet that flows, from the south. The
other comes from tto north. The
waters that come from the north and
empty into the spring are as clear as
crystal. The waters of the stream that
discharge from the south are almost as
black as ink. 'The southern inlet never
freezes, while the northern one is the
flrnt water in -ail that region to freeze.
Another singular thing about this
Hiring is that although no water flows
from it water is constantly boiling up
tbrcugh the white sand that forms its
bed. The spring Is only two feet wide
nnd three feet deep, "but a force pump
worked steadily and rapidly in It for
hears has failed to decrease its water
-suppiy In the slightest degree. The
mystery is, whet becomes of the water
of the spring? Fed by two streams, and
from an underground source, and with
no outlet, this spring has been 1 thing
impossible 'to explain from'tbe time the
original settlers squatted in that part
of the state and found it there until
now."

Extraordinary Feople That
Map on Oar Way to
A fewdays ago we stopped over for
a moment, picked the Ladiones off the
map of Spanish possessions and added
them to the United States. We've beea
too busy since to think whether or not
we would keep them.
It was an exceedingly simple operar
tion.polite and bloodless. The Charles
ton and the transports she wascon
voying sailed in to the harbor of Agana
and fired a few shots at a crumbling
old fort The Spanish governor of the
islandB, bearing the guns and seeing
the big ships, promptly put oft in a
boat with bis governmental staff. They
were jubilant at the prospect of Un
limited food and "booze," and came
over the side bowing and scraping. The
governor with true Cast ii Ian flourish
es regretted, in fact, was bowed to the
earth with shame and remorse, that his
unworthy self bad not powder to return
the salute of his excellency the most
noble and esteemed Americano s com
mander, but the islands and ail that
they contained wore at his.escellency'a
service. It seemed rather crual after,
that to Inform the polite governor that
war existed between'tbc United States
and Spain, and that he. and his suite
were prisoners of war. but It had to.ba
done, and the'bountiful wardroom ta
ble and the supplies cf the wine mess
soon consoled the captives for the losi
of their little island sovareignty. Then
the hundred men composing the Span
ish army in the Ladiones were gath
ered in, he American flag hoisted, an
American resident appointed governor,
and the Charleston and the transports
sailed away, leaving a small guard of
soldiers to keep order.
Magellan called the Ladrones the
Isles of the Thieves (in Spanish, Las Is
las dc los Ladrones) when he discov
ered them In 1520, because of the na
tives' persistent pilfering, and though
since they were rechristened the Ma
rianne Islands, in honor of Queen Ma
ria Anna, who lived ia the seventeenth
century, the first name has stuck, and
Ladrones has remained their title to
this day.
Magellan and his men were almost
dead from thirst and hunger when they
landed on the islands, having been
more than three months without sight
ing land or taking on food or water.
But the natives, who had never before
received a visit from the outside world,
not even from the many islands of the
Pacific, were extremely hospitable and
relieved the material wants of" the
Spaniards with the greatest liberality.
Literally every wish of the visitors wa3
gratified, and for a time Magellan be
lieved he had discovered a race of peo
ple whose only impulses were good,
and a great friendliness sprang up be
tween his men and the natives.
They were made welcome on board
all hours of the day and night, while
the sailors from the ships were treated
to all sorts of free entertainments on
shore. So entirely cordial were the re
lations between visitors and hosts that
no one thought of thievery, when all

iorts of portable things began to dis
appear from the vessels, and, in fact,
there is small cause for wonder at'this,
since the natives, like most South Sea
aborigines, wore almost no clothing,
and would, therefore, find it difficult
to conceal any but the smallest articles
about their persons. And bring in

of the sixteenth century, Magel-an and
his men concluded that the islands

they had Ftolcn. Moreover, they had
remarkable control over their feet and
could pick all sorts of articles up from
the deck with their toes almost as ex
pertly as with their bands. Magellan
did all he could to teach them the
meaning of "mine" and "thine," but
without the smallest succecs. No
amount cf watchfulness could prevent
them from stealing, and so, though
all hands desired to remain at the place
where every pleasure of the senses
could be had for the asking, the- an
chors were coon lifted and the fleet
sailed away. It may be worth men
tioning incidentally that Magellan went
from the Ladrones to the Philippines,
where he was killed in a fisht with the
natives.
Happy reacafol Inlanders.
Leaving their propensity to steal
aside, the islanders, as Magellan found
them, were exceptionally moral and
well-behaved, at least from the South
Sea point of view. Murder was vir
tually unheard of. Fighting was ex
tremely rare. And, as they knew no
other people, tribe or nation, there
were no wars.
Their lives were simple, but full of
ease and sensual pleasure and their
physical development was excellent,
the men being straight and well-made,
while, again from the South Sea point
of view, the women were of an unusual
comeliness, which added charm to their
almost universal good nature. The gov
ernment was essentially republici, al
most a pure democracy, in fact, since,
though they chose a few representative
men to enforce their laws and regula
tions, they had no head man of any

sort That this had bcn the situation
from time immemorial seems probable
since their language originally con
tained no work equivalent to king or
queen, prince, chief or lord. Speaking
again, with the South Sea point of
view in mind, the Ladione islands were
little else in the sixteenth century than
a wave-girt earthly paradise. Nature
unassisted furnished all the necessaries
cf i!fe and almcst all the luxuries of
which the islanders had knowledge be
sides. AH sorts cf food were to be
had for the gathering, since the eating
cf anything save fruits and vegetables
had nver been heard of. The shelter
cf a lifetime could he put up by a
r?w hours of labor; the scanty clothing
required by their simple convention
alities occupied little time in making;
bright-hued shells for pe-sonal adorn
ment were everywhere atrewn upon the
teach. No one had to spend time mak
ing killing tools of every kind, none
being needed in th? absence cf war, and
the non-tire of animal food.
Naturally In these circumstances, the
development of the islanders in many
ways v.-as far belcw that of other South
Sea natives, but they had a religion
much resembling the Shintoism of Chi
naand observed iia forni3 with great
rpre, while their language was unusu
ally strong and sonorous when com
pared with those cf the other islands
in the Pacific. Tne language now spok

exceedingly rare. Both sexes smoke

a deadly insult for a guest at a fan
dango to be absent at the ceremony.
It Is performed in the church with
much pomp. After it is over there is
more eating and drinking till nightfall.
Then, after continuous carousing for
twenty-fonr hours, the guests may go
home and rest from their merrymak
ing. The foregoing applies to the mar
riages of the well-to-do of Spanish and
partial Spanish blood only. When
members of the poorer classes marry
the festivities and ceremonies are
much simpler and less expensive.
raderewskPs Dally 1.1 fe.
Paderewski rises, as a rule, about ten
o'clock on days when he does not give
a concert or is traveling. On days
when he is to" play in the evening, he
rises at one. By way of morning meal,
he takes a cup of coffee or tea noth
ing else, not even a roll or morsel cf
bread. He practices usually for five or
six hours each day on a piano which
he has sent to his room in the hotel
as soon as ho arrives In a city. When
he has an afternoon concert he does
not practice at all, however, and if the
concert is an evening one he devotea
only two or three hours to exercising
on the keyboard. In order to strength
en his fingers he plays only five-finger
exercises. Like a prize fighter who is
training, this musical athlete devote
himself to a systematic course of gym
nastics for strengthening all of the
physical powers which are called into
play by his performance at the piano.
Those long, slender "piano" fingers are
put through their paces until they ac
quire strength, flexibility, agility and
staying power. More than this, his
arms also have to be strengthened.
For this purpose he employs an appar
atus, which he designed and had made
himself. What this is he knows, and
nobody else.
A Burmese Divorce.
Easy are the methods of settling do
mestic difficulties in Upper Burma.
WASHING CLOTHES.
When a husband finds that his better
half is not the unalloyed blessing he
has been led to think, he calls into his
house all the old men and women of
his village and expresses his desire to
divorce her and a trial by candle is
piosecuted. The husband and the wife
are each given a candle, which they
light simultaneously at the order of
the eldest person present and place
in the middle of the floor. Then every
one -in the house sits around and
watches to see which candle burns
out first. If the wife's does so the
Husband has a right to divorce her,
even against her will, and turn her
and her relations out of his house
without more ado. If, on the other
hand, the husband's candle burns .out
first, the wife' has the option and right
of 'either refusing a divorce or agree
ing to it, and turning her husband and
his relations cut of the. house which,
with all goods and chattels it contains;
becomes her personal property.
.The Mas Who Works.
What can we do for the man who
works? What can he do for himself?
It is only when he is doing the best
he can for himself tbat other peo
ple can effectively help him. Even the
gods cannot help him who will not
help himself. Life means 'work, strug
gle, conflict, patience, persistence; it
means standing on your own feet and
working out your own salvation; when
it cease3 to mean an this it will not be
worth living. Dr. Gladden.
WhUky can't talk, yet it' frequently
tells oa a man.

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering. " ' . :
"I thought I should surely die."
Whea the stomach begins to fail In
Its datles, other organs speedily become
affected ia sympathy, and life is simply a
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are so common that only
the sufferer from these diseases kaows
the possibilities of misery-thai inhere in
them.' A typical example of the suflcrtngs
bi the victim ot indigestion is furniahed
la tne case of John C. l'ritchard. lie went
v "iu t4n, uum uiu 10 worse.
Ia spite of doctors he crew constantly
weaker, aud thojght he would die. lie
got well, however, and thus relataa his
e-perleace: .
Tor fifteen years i was a great sufferer
from indigestion ia its worst forms. I
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and - orse. until I became so weak
I could not walk fifty yards without bavins
to sit down and Te"t. My stomach, liver,
and heart became affected, and I thought I
would surely die. I tried Dr? J. C. Aver's
Pills and they helped. me right away: I
coatlaned their use and. am now entirely"
well. I don't know of anything that will
so quickly relieve and cure the terrible
sunerings 01 dyspepsia as Dr. Aver's
rills." Jonx C. PKiTCXtAUD, Brodte, War
