THIS SNAKE WOULDN'T TURN. They Had Him In a Lathe and Were Going to Vso Hiui For Shafting. In the fall of 1SS6 I was sent from an eastern firm to Colorado to superintend the erection of a sawmill to replace an old one which was destroyed by fire. Everything went on nieelv and the mill was in running order in about two weeks with tho exception of a countershaft to run the planer and matcher, which was missing. To send to the factory would take not less than two weeks, and we came to the conclusion to cut a piece off the old line shaft and turn it up ourselves, as we had an old lathe standing next to the boiler and engine. The weather of the last month was dry and very warm, but at sunset that day a heavy snowstorm set in, and the thermometer dropped to zero. The next morning we sent our engineer to get one of those old line snaits, out round tnem covered witn snow and ice. At last he succeeded in getting hold of a piece about 8 feet long. It measured about 2 inches in diameter, somewhat thicker in the center and tapered at one end. We needed only 5 feet, so we sent for a sledge and chisel to cut off the right length. One stroke and off flew the thin part. I told the men this kind of iron would not do, but the engineer said all iron would break like this in zero weather; it soon would be all right if it came into the lathe next to the boiler. He took the shaft over to the rise-and centered same, #??<* from there to the lathe, put the ' steady rest in position and vred to turn it to the right side, hut ali in vain. The lathe was located near the boiler, a warm place, the ice had melted during the time, and the shaft got softer and softer, and the tool would not cut at all. At t]ris moment the proprietor of the place stepped in, and seeing his man running the lathe asked him what he was going to do. ;'I am trying to turn a shaft for our planer, but I never saw a piece of iron like this. First it was as hard as glass, but as soon as it got warm it turned soft and is getting softer all the time." The proprietor took a step forward just in time to see the two pnrls rlrrvn nnt nf tliA hut held in the middle by the steady rest, showing several different colors. The proprietor was an old man and had for many years lived in Colorado, fc^and one glance convinced him that ds engineer had taken a frozen ratMlesnake for a piece of iron, cut off ^^the tail and put the balance in the ||P^ lathe to turn it off for a countershaft. The snake was not hanging on the rest longer than a minute when it Wr commenced to whirl around to free itself. Ail the men ran, and the snake after them, until somebody killed it with a club. We looked foi the tail, which by this time had alsc thawed, and found 15 rattles on it. The engineer swore he would nevei look for another piece of iron on a day like this in Colorado.?Cincin nati Tribune. r An Important Industry.

He was a magnificent type of the real blue blooded Virginian, and when a member of the little party with which he was chatting in a corner asked him, '"What of the Virginia j^k girl?" a delicious flush of prideful color warmed his face, and he made a reply striking and beautiful, r ''The Virginia girl is now as her mother and grandmother were before ber. She is fitted by nature and .. trained by education to be the wife of a strong and brave man and a mother of sturdy boys and virtuous girls. She is not made up of watery elements, though her voice is ever soft, crentle and low. She says 'father and 'mother' in dutiful tones, and yesternight when, like the Lady Chris tabel, "Her gentle limbs did she undress. And lay down in her loveliness, she said 'Our Father who art in heaven' reverently, confidingly and ^ trustfully. A Christian she is, with yC^no^rrtore doubt of her faith than that rthe sun shines. Chaste she is, without knowledge or suspicion of evil. Simple she is, and ignorant and heedless of the gridt world, where wealth and position are the guinea stamp that makes effulgent hearts as false and as black as hell, and when she IT* aaftMMBMWMMMMMMMMM 1 marries, as marry she does, she will do her husband good, and not evil.

Neither ' I is her foot small, but it is an honest | ! foot?a foot light enough and a step ! trim enough to dash the dew from j i heather flowers; a foot eloquent, not j | like Cressida's, but eloquent of surety; ; a foot to twirl in any schottische or i cotillon, to cut the pigeon wing or tread the mazes of the reel or execute the shuffle of the Irish jig. t "Nor has her education been neg; lected. She was a4" Staunton and Vassar a year or so, and her father's library contains some sterling books, as does nearly every home in old Virginia. There is a piano, too, and the Virginia girl is perhaps at her best when, with voice like a nightingale's and eyes like a Hebe's, she sings with the accompaniment the simple ballads her grandmother sang."?Chicago Tiibune. I Exquisite Workmanship. Otto Young & Co. of Chicago have in their store a watchmaker's bench which with the lathe and other attachments is valued at $900. The bench alone is worth $470.

The top oi the bench., in the center of which is inserted a glass plate, is of hard woods, the pieces being accurately joined. Woods from almost every part of the world have been used in the work. The sides are of mahogany, the edges being ornamented with rows of alternate black and white diamond shaped pieces of wood. On one end is carved an American eagle and the maker's name. The other panel shows a dog of the pointer breed, reproduced in black and white wood. The lathe, chucks and power were made especially for this bench and are of the finest material. The bench is plentifully supplied with drawers and covers, the edges of which are ornamented with diamond shaped blocks of black and white wood.? Jewelers' Weekly.

If men only knew how much their wives appreciate the little attentions that they consider too small to think about, there would be more of the courtesies tlmt marKea tne antenuptial peziod manifested in the every day routine life that comes after marriage. A man, when he has succeeded in winning a woman, calmly lays aside all those delightful little ways that, if he only knew it, did so much to captivate her, and with the air of a man who has run after a street car he settles down and reads his paper without having an idea that she is eating her heart out because of the I a absence of those trifling attentions I that mean so much to her. Listen, all ye men, to a wife who j knows how much woman's nature is alike and how happy we all become over little kindnesses that may not in your eyes be worth considering, i but which to us speak of a sentiment j that has not died out in marriage and | a polite regard for the wife that is as j great as that shown the fiancee.? ; Philadelphia Times. ^wvvvwwvvvwvvvvvvwwwwwv^ J MENSTRUATION j s w*th a woman of vigorous health passes $ < off in due time without pain or dis- s ? comfort; but when she approaches this < > crisis MONTHLY with a frail constitu- | 5 tion and feeble health she endangers j! \ both her physical and mental powers. \\ I BRADFIELD'S \ FEMALE^ i; I REGULATOR j < if taken a few days before the monthly <[ ? sickness sets in and continued untill < 5 nature performs her functions, has no \ equal as a SPECIFIC for Painful, Pro- j! < fuse, Scanty, Suppressed and Irregular | ?

Gentlemen: Having prescribed Land s Alterative (formula given) in various pathological conditions, I must say that I am convinced of its value for all that is claimed for it. Mrs. B., married, 35 years old, gave birth to a large baby November 1880; was attacked third day after confinement with pelvic cellulitis, milk leg (phlegmasia albudolens;) was critically ill six weeks; has been barren since, until November, 1881, I treated her for catarrhal inflammations, endo metritis, chronic ovaritis for four or five years. I then carried her to a distinguished gjmaeco logist, and she found no relief. I put her on Land's Alterative in June, 1891, and after taking two bottles she gave birth in November to a fine child.

Some Cape Town people had a fowl fatting in a special coop near an ostrich kraal. The bird drooped and grew thin. It was watched and seen to peer through the slats of its coop, curious to watch its neighbors, the ostriches. Every time it put its head out it received a kick from its neighbor and would soon have died had it not been removed. A meek looking male ostrich stood about with its consort looking so dejected that some visitors remarked it must be henpecked. "Oh," laughed their host, "he is hen kicked," and they soon saw him receive a staggering blow from his gentle spouse which sent him with j drooping feathers into a corner.? Detroit Free Press.
