VA man I knov/," suy3 a writer lil tho St. Louis Globc-Domoorat, .'lind nu adventure with a rattlesnake in (i dugout once that wasn't funny. East-that's tho man's name-was getting out timber during tho high water, and was about two milos from camp In a submerged cane brake He was lu tho bow of thc boat and stooped over to get a drink of water. When bo arose bc started backward toward thc stern. What it was that made him turn and look bobina him East never could toll, but he swears that something told . him to do it. Any wa)' bo did it, and ho hasn't quit being glad of lt yet, for, coiled up in thc boat, about two foot iii front of tin; stern sent, was a tremendous rattlesnake. East says it made a pile bigger than u bushel measure, and I guess lt dill, for it measured live feet nine inches and was ns thick as tho enif of my log. ? "East started to jump overboard, but lt was early in thc spring and bo knew tho water was cold. Besides, ho didn't know but the blamed snake might take a notion to stay la thc dugout all night. Thc snake had no notion of getting out and was sing lug its war song at a great rate and holding himself in readiness to spring as soon as East got within striking distance. Calling for help would hay? done no good, for there , was no help to call within two miles. There was an ax in tho bow of the dugout, and East grabbed il and prepared to strike one blow at tho snake anyhow. Did you ever try to stand up in a sassafras dugout and fight an angry, six-foot dia mond-back rattlesnake with an ax? If you ever did you know bow East felt. I never did, and I don't know, and I'm not anxious lo lind oat. East knew be would bavo a chanco to strike one blow, and that must bo a sure one. He. advanced as closo as be dared and waited till the shako gathered for its spring; then bo struck. The sharp steel met thc sor {jeiit as lt sprang and cleaved its )ody about six inches below its head. "What happened for the uext hour East never knew. As soon as ho s'tw ho had killed the ii ihe ile squatted righI. down bi thixt dugout h\\n'.?fjJ'jko~?..V -TOiiii!~.!?. -:v:- cA? sel op) i financ?.

There arc wells which arc veritablo paradoxes In their nature, and which, says the St. Louis Republic, instead of giving forth a cooling draught to the tired traveler, givo him water at tho boiling point. Ono of those, on tho premises of Dr. Lane, at Portland, Ore, in tho lan guage of the doctor, yields water "a thousand times hotter than boiling." At Pino Grove, Esmeralda comity, Nov., there is a well.(drilled in 1888) which furnished water for tho miners to do their cooking with. Potatoes placed in the stone basin at the well will cook through and through in eight minutes. *The wat er of one of tho artesian wells nt Pcs th, Hungary, bas an average tempera ture of two hundred degrees and flows at thc rate of ono lufhdrcd and seventy-five thousand gallons every twelve hours. At Ri t zia, Aus tralia, ..there ls a boiling spring which Prof. Hilden avers is inhab ited by millions of small red fish. If . theso little hot water denizens be scooped from their natural element and placed in a pull of common drinking water they die instantly, and the. queer part of the story is that the scales and skin slip off, just as though they bad been scalded 1 Rights of tho Scxo3. Mr. Ruskin, in one of his latest published works, bas a word to say about the rights of men and women: Quite one of the most im portant lind necessary ones of man, he considers, is the right to have a good dinner well cooked, when be comes from his work, and "quite one of the pleas antest rights of women to have a pretty dress to put on \vhtn> she has done hers. The first of tho sci ences, therefore," Mr. Ruskin con cludes, "is that of cookery, and tho first of arts that of dress." Tho Japs Aro Fighters. An English naval officer writing home says, alluding to tho remarka ble prowess shown by the Japanese in tho capture of Port Arthur: "They would mako very bad ene mies. Wc could smash them at sea, probably, but we could do nothing against Japan on land. Wo can teach them nothing in military sci once. They aro masters of modorn scientific warfare.
