The Queer Bull Snake. A farmer by the name of Wilson. residing on Piney, four miles west o: Dickson, came to town to-day bringing with him the stuffed hide of a bul snake which he killed in his neighbor hood recently, and which measures six feet in length. This is a species of snake rarely found in this section, but a. rather remarkable feature is that when emt is found it is always.a large one. Tht serpent takes its name from the bel lowing sound it emits when angry which is very much like that of a bul when bellowing. There are numerous superstitions con nected with it, one of which is tha it lies in wait in wood sand pasturet for milk cows, and when one of tht latter approaches it springs «upon. her securely entwines itself, about het legs so that she ‘cannot move, and it this fashion proceeds to suck her dry It is further said that a cow thus at tacked will ever afterward give #4 bloody milk.. € a For Renr —Seven room house.

An old pupil of Conture tells how the master came into his school room one day when the mode! was in excep- tfonally good condition, the light espe- cially fine and the circumstances of the seance altogether auspicious. As —=| he entered one of the students got up and went to the tub of water in the corner, leaying all the rest buried in their work. “What are you going to do?” asked Conture roughly. The student showed his hands, which had some paint on them, and replied that he was going to wash them. Conture dabbed his thumb in some paint on the palette of the nearest student and made a smear on the dainty pupfl’s forehead. “You had better wash your face, too,” he said. The face washing was the last act of the students when they had finished their work for the day. The dainty pupil took the hint to heart, apologized and sat down at his easel, without visiting the tub. If he had not done so he would never have entered the school again. Chicago’s Careless Visitors. One day an observant Chicagoar made the discovery that street sweep ers keep a closer eye on their work in midsummer than at any other time of the year. He asked why. “Because we are more likely to fing things in the summer time,” said the sweeper, “There isn’t much doing in the way of losing and finding when the crow¢ is made up mostly of town folk, bu these country people have the habit 0. owing the streets with small change and the sweeper who knows how tc look sharp between whisks of the broom can pick up many an extra quar ter or dime.” Shot Bear From Automobile. Hunting bears with an automobile is not exactly the kind of sport that F. D. Marsh of San Francisco was looking for when he made a trip to Crater Lake, Ore., but he arrived in this city last evening from the north and had four claws of a bear tied to the dashboard of his sixty-hourse power whiz wagon. Marsh says that he and his party ran across a big brown bear by the roadside. Without leaving his seat he fired a shot that was fatal to Bruin. He does not say that the bullet pierced the heart of the bear, but he shows the four claws as evidence that he is telling a straight story. HAD KNOWLEDGE OF MEDICINE. Comprehensive Treatise Written by Egyptian 7,000 Years Ago. A roli of papyrus acquired by Dr. Bbers, in the vicinity of Thebes, Egypt, in the winter of 1872, from an Arab who made ancient grave rob- bing a business, after investigation and translation was deposited in the library of the University of Leipsic. The script of this papyrus is hieratic; the date of it is said to be over 7,000 years ago. It is a comprehensive treatise on medicine. Diseases of the abdomen, the chest, the heart, the eyes, the ears and so on are carefully arranged and described in a manner that would command respect at the present day. or instance, of the heart, the papyrus classifies the trou- bles as fatty degeneration, dilation, carditis, angina or spasm, hypertro- phy (enlargement), thrombosis (plug- ging) and dropsy. Of medicines over seven hundred different substances are enumerated and they are pre- scribed in pills, in tadlets; in capsules, in decoctions, powders, inhalations, lotiens, ointments, plasters. No Paper Money for the Indians. “There are two traits about the American Indian that civilization and contact with his. white brothers can- not overcome,” said Frank L. Camp- bell, who has.spent several years as a school teacher among the Sioux and has learned to know them well. “Those peculiarities are his aver- sion to paper money and his appetite for dog. An Indian will never take paper money if he can avoid it. He wants, in the language of the Sioux, ‘muzza ska,’ which translated means white iron. The red man cannot bring himself to believe that a small: piece of printed paper can be worth as much or more than the metal itself. Strange to say, an Indian would also rather have ten silver dollars than one ten dollar gold :piece.. L do. not know whether tt is because.the ten. pieces. of money appear:to be more or wheth- er it is simply because he likes to jin- gle the coins.” TEA DEADLY FOE OF TYPHOID. Boiling of the Drink Has a Germicidal Effect. It is said on the high authority of an American medical journal that, al- though the Chinese people live in a germ-saturated soil, they are singular- ly free from typhoid fever and other diseases of which water is the me dium of communication. This condi- tion is attributed the universal cus- tom of copious tea drinking. The tea itself is not held to be the safeguard against the disease, but the boiling of the drink has a germicidal effect which produces sanitary advat» tages. And if tea produces any fl results they are not to be considered beside these advantages. The tea leaf is described as form: ing one of the most innocent and ate tractive flavorings possible for hot drinks, and the boiled drink is the foe to the deadly germ. The Old Brother’s Message. One of the venerable brethren of the Billville Circuit delivered this mes- gage recently: “It’s no use to strug- gle, if you’ve made up your mind te avail yourself of your privelege of fall- {n’ from grace, in the belief that you'll git up agin, an’ shake the dust off, and start over ag’In. Some o’ the dust will git in the grain of your gar- ments, and stick there; some of the strength you needed for the journey will be gone, and you'll no more be the same as you was. What you want to do is to make the struggle land you high and guard against gittin’ dizzy when you reach the hilltop!”—Chi- cago American. Attendance at British Museum Pall ing Off. The British museum return for 190 shows a further decline in the numbe of visits to the museum for the yea 1906. The total number, says the Lom don Tribune, was 691,950, a falling of of nearly 122,000 from the number is 1905. Nor has the decline been com fined to week-day visits as it was is the previous year. The 57,738 visits ot Sundays were fewer by 4,369 thar those of 1905. We must go back te the year 1900 with its 689,249 visits be fore finding a total to compare witt that of the year 1906. At the same time it is an indicatior of a steady growth of intelligent in terest in the collections that, while tht numbers of visits decrease, the sale fq guide books generally tends to in crease. Why She Was Safe. A fellow was looking over a hedge watching a maiden milking a cow in an open field, when suddenly he spied @ young and excited bull, with its head lowered and taH cocked high in the afr, rushing madly toward her. The fellow called out to warn her. of the approaching danger, but she just glanced at the bull and then went on milking calmly. Still the infuriated animal rushed toward the dauntless maiden, and then, when it was almost upon her, it stopped dead short, e a loud bel- low and galloped awa ain to the farther side of the meadow. The man now ventured to ask the girl how she knew the bull would not touch her. “Oh!” was the gentle reply, “this cow’s his mother-in-law!” He Was a Record-Breaker. An earnest clergyman one Sunday morning was exhorting those who had anxious and troubled consciences to be sure and call on their pastor for guid- ance and prayer. “To show you, my brethren, the blessed results of these visits with your pastor,” said he, “I will state to you that only yesterday a gentleman of wealth called upon me for counsel and instruction; and now to-day, my friends—to-day he sits among us, not only a Christian, but a happy husband and father.” A young lady in the audience whis- pered to a matron: “Wasn’t that pret- ty quick work?” Dog Cares for Pheasant Chicks. “Queenie,” a retriever at the Ken- drich pheasantry near Littleton, has \ taken it into her head that she is the natural protector of a brood of young chicks, says the Denver Republican. The chick pheasants were hatched under a common barnyard hen ten days ago. The hen died anda the pheasants took a liking to “Queenie.” Since then they have regarded the dog as their friend and in times of danger run to her and hide themselveg be. neath her furry coat. —+— = .
