r / t ? ? How Bnzzards Sill Snakes. I once observed," said Lamartine Gibson to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat maD, "what -was to me a new and interesting sight?that of d half-dozen buzzards killing a snake. It was years ago, when I lived as a boy down oil a farm near Sheboull, 111. One June morning I eat on a rail fence under a walnut tree, overlooking a field of. growing wheat, when I observed high in the air two or three buzzards sailing about, just as lazy and delightfully smooth as one could imagine, around and around in a circle. It was net long uutil several more arrived and then I countcd a h*lf dozen. They - ?-" f ?nAA/?a I drew nearer irom over a paicu ui WUVUiJ I and dropped near the ground in the next field. Here they circled about, every now and then swooping close to the earth, and all at on*.e arose with a great, black, wriggling cord that I at once imagined must be a snake. The buzzard dropped the snake from about fifteen feet up and then dropped right after it and brought it up again. I jumped from the fence and ran across the field over near where the battle, somewhat lopsidely, was progressing. The half dozen buzzards were close together, taking turn about at the snake, carrying it aloft and then dropping it 1 with a deadly thud. I thought at the I time that a snake could not stand many j falls like that, and so I grabbed a stick i and ran near to where it last fell. My { approach acared them away. One bird, ( 1 anrnnn find fathered iiU HCtCi ) UIOVIV W B'?WV|# the snake by tne back, but the beak 1 grip was not strong enough and the ser- ' pent fell to the ground. I reached there before the bird could swoop again, and atood guard over the remains. The snake was stunned to death. It was considerably torn?a great, long black snake fully five feet in length and one and a < half inches in thickness. I added a few . blows with my club for assurance pake and then walked away to see if the buzzards would return. They had ascended high into the air, but they wero still over the spot, circling about, awaiting my departure. I drew off and sat down by the fence. Then they came down. One seized the reptile and 6ailed away, closely followed by the other five. It was a battle of birds then, and in the scrimmage the reptile was frequently dropped. The contest continued far over the fields and out of my vision." Clever hrnxery. William Frey, who resides on Washington avenue, Newport, Ky., has a ten year old daughter who was afflicted with a compound club foot. The bones were A- ? -5 bhaK on iwibieu tUall tiiC JUUl IUIUCU VV OUVU angle that the girl -walked on the side of her ankle and the toes pointed directly up. A local eurgeon wes asked to do something.. He opened the foot and re* moved the bones, leaving a large hole in < the foot. To remedy this the surgeon ' killed a large chicken, and taking the ] thigh bones sawed tbein to fit the spaces < 'left by the removal of the foot, bones. 1 Antiseptics were applied, the incision ( closed and sewed up, and after the foot , bad been placed in proper position it i was made firm by splints and left alone. The other day the splints were* removed, .when it was found the chicken bones had grown to the human bone, and the foot is now both sightly and useful. It is said to be the first case of the kind on record.?St. Louis Republic. TTnnd's Chirps Son of John L. McMurray Of Ra vans wood, W. Ya. A Fdk^afinH Impels Him to Tell How His Son Was Saved White Swelling and Scrofula Cured, I write this simply because I reel It a duty to humanity, so that others affected as my son was may know how to bo cured. When he was 7 years old a white swelling came on his right log below the knee, drawing his leg up at right angles and causing him intense suffering. He could not walk and I considered him A Confirmed Cripple. The swelling was lanced and discharged freely. At length we decided to take him to Cincinnati for a surgical operation. He was so weak and poor we gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla to build up his strength. To oar great surprise. Hood's Sarsaparilla not only gave strength but caused the tore, after discharging HOOD'S Sarsaparilla CURES several pieces of bone, to entirely heal up. His leg straightened out, and he now runs every- < where, as lively as any boy." J. L. McMorbay, Notary Public, Ravenswood, W.

Do the creators of modes realize that when crinolines were worn years ago it was I different country from what it is now? rhere was only about eight lines of cars here i ?i <4 n New "Xork.

Cabs were, in proportion, much more used than now, and carriages were regarded much more a matter of necessity to the well off than there are now. Besides, there were fewer people. Nothing was crowded or jammed. Oh. my dears, consider a Fourth Avenue car with its daily jam on! And imagine it jammed with women crinolined and hooped! Remember, our grandmothers did not hare to take the cars to go shopping. They walked around the corner from Union Square and Washington Square and bought their buttons and tape. Thev didn't come from One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street on the L. Qli. pause, my children, and consider how different things are now and don't do it.

The jacket is tight-fitting in front, is J made with darts and fastens with buttons. There is a very charming jacket of the Empire shape at the left in the last illustration. It is "of dark green cloth, trimmed with imitation marten fur, and has a full re! collar of green velvet shot with old gold, ill' This jacket would look, however, equally well in dark bine, drab or the fashionable n"tabac." The hat should be in felt of the J same shade as the jacket and the feathers ?? ? tb either a shade lighter or black. The other figure is a very stylish jacket of pray cloth, double breasted, with "large buttons, and with tbe fashionable full sleeves. Simple as 10 it looks, it needs to be very well made and ar to fit perfectly. ru You can very often, in making sleeves,use' /_ lengths of silk' you have left over lengths you have caved, thinkinj to trims hats with " them, or "something."

VamaKS Ilie "tUHlib'tHyiO JUUDC Vi uvugvaia. p Tbe Chinese, the Japanese and the __ Siamese know a thing or two about botany and floriculture that would be of much value to the German, English and American botanists. A year or two ago I told the readers of "Notes for the Curious" why a blue rose was an impos> sibility, but since then I have been 'reading up" on the botanical curiosities that have been "bred" by the almond-eyed Mongolians named above. I have airived at the conclusion that probably a blue rose is possible after all, and that the Oriental botanical wizards will evolve one sooner or later. One of their achievements?the one on which they pride themselves above all others, unless it is the art cf raising oaks in thimbles?is the "changeable rose," a real rose ip everything except that it is white when in the shade and blood red as soon as the sunlight strikes it. The words "as soon" in the last sentence above do not literally mean mstantaneouily, but one thing is sure, the transformation is rapid enough for the wondering eyes that are allowed the rare pleasure of beholding such a wonderful sight. After night, or when in a dark room, this curiosity of the rose family it a pure, waxy white blossom, the thick, succulent petals much reminding one of gigantic mandrake flowers, with the exceptions that even the stamens and pistils are of the same immaculate color. When transferred to cpen air the transformation immediately sets in, the time of the entire change of the flower from ~ a livid whiteness to the most sanguine cf r all sanguine hues depending un the degree of sunlight and warmth. First the petals take ou a kind of washed or faded blue color which rapidly changes to a ^ very-faint blush ot pink. The pink fi gradually deepens in hue until you find S that your lily-white rose of an hour be- ? fore is as red as the reddest peony that re ever bloomed.

J Preparing Sturgeon for Market. H The method of preparing the sturgeon jffl for market is as follows: The head, fins. 1 skin and entrails of the fish are removed is and the meat thoroughly cleansed. Tho B fish is then cut into sections and placed 1 in galvanized iron pan9, holding about |j sixty pounds each. The pans are placed B in a freezing mixture of cracked ice and B salt until their contents are frozen solid. jg The fish thus frozen is packed in cases j9 and shipped to New York in tea-ton re- 1 frigeratcr care. At the factory in New 1 York it goes through a thawing process, M is dipped in lime and then smoked. The 9 smoked fish is really delicious when 9 fresh and retails at eighteen to twenty I cents per pound. It must be used within 9 a few days after it is smoked, otherwise 9 it soon spoils. For this reason it must jB be prepared where it is used. The sturgeon roe is packed in half- 9 barrels with layers of fine German salt. ? It is then chipped to Hamburg, Ger- 1 many, where it it is made into caviar, I packed in half-pound cans and seat back I to this country, where it sells for forty S to fifty cents per pound. The bladder of the sturgeon, when thoroughly cleansed and dried, is commercially known as isinglasi. It is put in' spirits j for the purpose of rectifying, and is sold ^ by the manufacturer at forty cents per pound. Finally, the spinal cord of the I sturgeon is taken out and dried. This j product is highly prized by the Chinese, who ship large quantities of it to China 5 annually. When boiled it forms a sort ' of gelatinous substance which the Cel- jJ estial eats with great relish.?Portland . Oregonian. ( Domesticated Annuals Live Longest. Animals lire much longer in domestication than in a wild state. This is easily understood to be on account ol the better food and the shelter they get. A horse will live thirty years and work ( constantly if properly cared for, and , cases have occurred in which a horse of J this age has never had one day*6 illness J or been unable to work. Cows will live I and breed und milk for more than twenty I years. Sheep have been known to pro- ft duce lambs and be shorn for thirteen Qj years. Pigs will live ten years, and a ^ mule under good care has lived and It worked until tifty years old. The possi- DI ble productive life of our domesticated animals is doubtless twice the present W common average. Dogs live eight or ten years, and cats even longer.?Ameri- ~~ can Dairyman.
