"It seems a preposterous thing to say, but a snake that enjoys making its din? ner en another snake won't miss its meal because the snake it has set out to dine on is a good deal bigger than itself," said a naturalist. "At least a kingsnake won't. Neither will a blacksnake; but as a matter of fact, the kingsnake is only a Bpecies of blacksnake. Nothing in tbe snake line suits this family of ophidians better than tbe most terrible of reptiles, tbe rattlesnake. Squirrels, frogs, rabbits, birds, and other fat, juicy, edible things of the animal kingdom that human epic? ures delight in are particularly choice to the kingsnake and its cousin, the black snake, but either of these discriminating serpents will give the squirrel, the frog, the rabbit or the bird the go by if it scents a rattlesnake in tbe air. And if there is a rattlesnake anywhere within a ten-acre lot, where one of these creeping epicures is looking out for something to eat, it will know it at once and proceed to gather it in. "I had once a striking proof of tbe pugnacity and wonderful capacity of a kingsnake in dealing with a rattler and also of the remarkable tenacity of a rat? tler under the most disadvantageous cir? cumstances. Naturally c.ie would think tbat the rattlesnake, armed as it is with its deadly poison and apt means to use it effectually, would be the last thing to be attacked by a snake entirely harmless in that respect; and if attacked by one of tbat kind it would make short work of such a preposterous .assailant. But tbe fact is that venomous snakes stand in mortal terror of non venomous ones. A rattler, loaded with enough poison to kill a bear, will turn and fly in terror if it should meet an insignificant garter snake in its path. Venomous snakes never fight among themselves, but non venomous snakes are their mortal ene? mies?none more so than the blacksnake. Usually a king snake will engBge a rat* tier and make short work of it, five min? utes being sufficient to enable the former to crush his venomous victim to death. "But on the particular occasion I refer to, the fight between a kingsnake and a rattler it had set out to 'gather in lasted eleven hours. I was spending a Beason with a friend of mine on the Texas border, and one day as I was strolling over the prai? rie I came upon two snakes rolling and tumbling about in the grass, in deadly combat. I soon discovered that the com? batants were a kingsnake and a rattle snake.Their movements were so rapid that it waB some time before I could determine just what the prospects were for either one or tbe other, but at last tbe round came to an end and the combatants rest? ed. Then"!'saw that the kingsnake bad its jaws fastened in the rattlesnake's neck, or rather an inch or two below the neck, and I knew from the nature and positions of the two reptiles that the kingsnake had been trying his best to encircle tbe rattler in his constricting folds, while tbe rattler had been struggling just as desperately to prevent it. "The secret of the fearlessness and bold agressiven ess. with which a blacksnake or kingsnake attacks a rattler, although one stroke of the rattler's fangs would be death to it, as its superior agility and Btratgetic genius. The rattler, like all venomous snakes, is sluggish in its movements while uncoiled, and depends entirely on the lightning-like thruss of its head and a portion of its body and the deadly plunge of its fangs, when it is coiled for action. The blacksnake and the kingsnake draw this fire from the rattler, so to speak, by their stratget* rc momements close to the deadly ser? pent, but out of his reach, and then dart upon it like a dash before it could get itself in shape to defend itself again. They Beize the rattlesnake by tbe neck as close to the head as they can, and thus prevent it from using its fangs upon them. Tbe rattlesnake has no constric* tive powers. The blacksnakeB are gen? uine constrictors, being of the same fam? ily as the boas and anacondas. Having spiked the rattler's guns, they get him within their powerful folds and that is the end of him. "Now, owing to some miscalculation in bi? aim the kingsnake that had tackled the rattler on tbe occasion I am speak? ing about, had seized his victim an inch or two further back of tbe head than he should have done, and when they re? sumed their battle after the rest they took soon after I came upon them, I saw that the kingsnake was aware of this fact. Whether be feared that this mis? calculation was likely to give tbe rattler a cbaoce to reach Mb head back and use his fangs or not I don't know, but I could see that the kingsnake's attention was divided between watching for tbat possibility and his endeavors to get bis fatal folds around tbe rattlesnake and end tbe perilous contest. The rattler seemed to recognize the fact that he bad some kind of an advantage, and be man* aged, with the sense of a wrestler, to wriggle and twist in such a way that be defeated the kingsnake in his efforts. I bad noticed, while tbe suakes were rest? ing, tbat the rattler was nearly two feet longer than the kingsnake, and, know? ing tbat the latter bad attacked the for? mer for the express purpose of making a meal of him, I wondered at his nerve. "Tbe two snakes tOBsed and tumbled and writhed together for ten minutes, and then that round came to an end. During all his struggle the kingsnake kept bis jaws fast in tbe rattler's neck. He naver let up a particle on that. Ab they lay on the ground at the end of that round ?the second one tbat I bad seen ; I don't know how many more they had fought?I took a long stick I was using as a cane, 8nd running one end of it under the kingsnake's lower j*w, where be was fastened to the rattler, I lifted the two snakes from tbe ground. They simply writhed and wriggled their long bodies, and finally wound themselves about tbe stick. My friend's ranch was near by, and I carried tbe snakes there and put them on tbe floor of a small room in the house. As soon as I put them down they resumed the fight, the kingsnake retaining his tenacious hold on tbe rattler, tbe struggle being of tbe t-ff irts of tbe one to enfold the other in it* cnils, and of the other to prevent it. If the rattler could have broken the hold f the kingsnake's jaws on his neck, I avn't the least doubt tbat this record of ..inpon-i'^ -mH rattlesnake fight would /i \ c I'M. ? r-.ken, for the ratler would ave ???-. But he couldn't do it. lasting from fi-e to ten minutes from the time I discovered tbe two snakes until 11 o'clock at night. Then at the end of a particularly lo jg round, my friend and I, who had watched the fight without leav? ing it a minuh, were surprised to see the kingsnake let ,;o his bold on the rattler and crawl to o-ie end of the room. But he knew what be was doing. Tbe rattle? snake and given up. He had to. He was dead as a etont. "I know these two snakes bad been fighting eleven hours. If the kingsnake bad turned ovor and died after all that I would have thought no less of him. But be didn't. Hi bad started in to have meal on a rattlesnake, and he still pro? posed having it. He lay in the corner of the room perhaps twenty minutes, and then, without noticing my friend and my? self, glided 008 toward tbe dead rattler. He went up to it confidently, and begin? ning at tbe bead, licked its body down on one side clear to the tail, and we could see a thick, oily substance deposited on tbe scales of the dead reptile. Having lubricated our side the kingsnake re turned to the head again and licked tbe body all the way down on the other side. Then going back to the head the kingsnake tbr sw open bis jaws and with? out any ceremony began to swallow his late antagonist, though the rattler was almost two feet longer than himself and three inches bigger around. This was too interesting a process to miss, and we made a night of it watching it. I am un? able to say how tbat kingsnake put that rattler, so mu>;h bigger than himself, in? side of himself, but by 8 o'clock in the morning the last bit of the rattlesnake had been forced into the kingsnake's stomach. But the kingsnake was a sight. He was about tbe shape of a toad fish, and after the process of gorging was over he seemed to be, and we thought be was, as dead as the snake he had swallowed. But we let him lie. In a week he began to get smaller, and in three weeks he was up and about, evidently looking for a chance at ano ,her rattler. So we turned him out of the house and he went gliding out on the preirie with fire in his eye, and I pity the first rattlesnake he sight? ed." A P easant Parable. A long time ago there lived a saint so holy that the angels marveled at his sanctity, and tame from heaven to see how any one on earth could so closely re? semble them. They found nothing extraordinary in his life; he kept simply on his way, un? consciously sp reading tbe example of his virtues as natt rally as the stars give light { and the flowers give perfume. - Two words nummed up bis day?he gave and forgive; but these words were never on bis lips; you only read them in his smile, in his amiability, in his kind? ness, in his untiring charity. The angels (aid to God, "Lord, grant him the gift of miracles." "Willingly," replied our Lord; "ask him what be fishes. " And the angels said to the saint: "Wouldst thou have tbe gift of heal? ing, so tbat when tby hands touch an in? firm body it stall be healed ?" "No," replied tbe saint. "I would rather God ale ne would do it." ? "Wouldst tbou have thy words win back guilty so als and the erring hearts to God ?" "No; that in a mission moat unworthy of a poor creature like me ; I am satisfied to pray?I do sot preach." Finally tbe angels said, "What wou'dst thou have." "Well," saic the saint, "let me do a great deal of good without knowing it." The angels consulted together for a .while as to ho v this could be accomplish? ed : then they ?sked our Lord to grant that every time tbe saint's shadow fell at either Bide or behind him, so tbat he could not see it, it should have tbe power of curing the eick, consoling the afflicted and comforting the sorrowful. Our Lord assented, and wherever the saint's shadow fell thus tbe pathway bloomed, tbe parched earth was refresh? ed, the turbid streams became pure and limpid, the dying flowers revived; a fresh, healthy ioomp came to the pale cheeks of.the little children, and tears of joy to the eyes of sorrowing mothers. But tbe saint kept simply on his way, unconsciously spreading the example of his virtues as naturally as the stars shed light, as the flowers give ^Brfume; and the people, respecting bis modesty, si? lently followed him, never speaking to him of bis niracles. They gradually forgot even hit name, and spoke of him simply as "tbe holy shadow." Brought. Into Prominence. Deacon Con.stock, of Hartford, Conn., is well known as being provided with an enormous handle to his countenance, in the shape of a huge nose, in fact it is remarkable fcr its great length. On a late occasion, when taking up a collec? tion in the church in which the deacon belongs, as he passed through the con? gregation every person to whom be pre? sented the bag seemed to be possessed by a sudden and uncontrollable desire to laugh. The deacon did not know wbat to make of it. He bad often passed around before, but no such effects as these had he c ver before witnessed. Tbe secret, however, leaked out. He bad been j-fllicted for a day or two with a sore on bis rasa! appendage, and had placed a small piece of sticking plaster over it. During the morning of the day in question tbe plaster had dropped off, and the deacon seeing it as he supposed, on the floor, picked it up and Btuck it on again. But alas for men who sometimes make great mistakes, he picked up instead one of these pieces of paper which the manufacturers of spool cotton paste on the end of every spool, and which reads: "Warranted to hold out 200 yards." Such a sight on auch a nose was enough to upset the gravity of even a puritan congregation. ????9?* ??????????????????????

I saw it hanging up in the kitchen of a thrifty, healthy, sturdy farmer in Oxford County, Me.?a bottomless jug I The host saw that the curious thiDg caught my eye, and smiled. "You are wondering what that jug is hanging up there for with its bottom knocked out," he said. "My wife, per? haps, can tell you the story better than I cau; but she ia bashful, and I ain't, so I'll tell it. "My father owned this farm before me. He lived to a good old age, worked hard all his life, never squandered money, was a cautious trader and a good circulator; and, as men were accounted in his day and generation, he was a temperate man. I was the youngest boy; and when the old man vas ready to go, and knew it, the others agreed that since I had stayed home and taken care of the old folks the farm should be mine, and to me it was willed. I had been married then three years. "Well, father died?mother had gone three years before?and left the farm to me, with a mortgage on it for fifteen hun? dred dollars. I had never thought of it before. I said to Mollie, my wife: " 'Mollie, look here. Here, father's had this farm for years, with all its mag? nificent timber, and his six boys, as they grew up, equal to so many men, to help him, and he worked hard early a ad late, and you look at it! A mortgage of fif? teen hundred dollars. What cau I do ?' "And I went to the jug?it had a bot? tom to it then?and took a good stiff drink of something much stronger than water. "I noticed a curious look on the face of my wife just then, and I asked her what she thought of it, for I supposed she was thinking of what I had been talking about, and so she .wps, for she said: "'Charles, I have thought of this a great deal, and I have thought of a way in which I believe I can clear this mort? gage off before five years are ended." "Says I, 'Mollie, tell me how you'll do it?' "She thought for a while, and then said with a fuuny twinkle in her blue eyes said she: " 'Charles, you must promise me this, and promise me solemnly and sacredly Promise me that you will never bring home for the purpose of drinking for a beverage, at any time, any more spirits than you can bring in that old jag?the jug your father has used ever since I knew him, and which you have used since he was done with it." "Well, I knew father used once in a while, especially in haying time and in Winter, when we were at work in the woods, to get an old gallon jug filled ; so I thought that she meant that I should never buy more than two quarts at a time. I thought it over, and after a lit tie while told her that I would agree to it. " 'Now, mind,' said she, 'you are never to bring any more spirits than you can bring in that identical jug.' And I gave her the promise. "And before I went to bed that night I took the last pull at that jug. "Well, I went out after that, and then went to bed; and the last thing I said before leaving the kitchen?this very room where we now Bit?was: "'We'll have the old brown jug filled to-morrow.' "And then I went off to bed. And I have remembered ever since that I went to bed that night, as I had done hun? dreds of times before, with a buzzing in my bead that a bealtby man ought not to have. "Well, I got up the next morning and did my work at the barn ; tben came in and ate my breakfast, but not with such an appetite as a farmer ought to have, and I could not think that my appetite had begun to fail. However, I ate breakfast, and then went out and bitched up the old mare; for, to tell the plain truth, I was feeling the need of a glass of spirits, and I hadn't a drop in the house. I was in a hurry to get to the village. I hitched up and came in for the jug. I went for it in the old cupboard and took it out, and? "Did you ever break tbrongh the thin ice on a snapping cold day, and find yourself over your head in freezing wa? ter? Because that is the way I felt at that moment. The jug was there, but the bottom was gone. Mollie had taken a sharp chisel and a hammer, and, with a skill that might have done credit to a master workman, she clipped the bottom clean out of the jug, and then she burst out. She spoke?oh! I had never heard anything like ! No, nor have I heard anything like it since. She said : " 'Charles, that's where the mortgage on the farm came from I It was brought home in that jug?two quarts at a time! And there's where your white, clean skin and your clear eyes are going. And in that jug, my husband, your appetite is going also. Oh ! let it be as it is, dear heart I And remember your promise!1 "And tben she threw her arms around my neck and burnt into tears. She could speak no more "And there was do need. My eyes were opened as though by magic. In a single mi?Ute the whole scene passed be? fore me. Sitting on a bench outside the door, I saw all the mortgages on all the farms in our neighborhood; and I thought where the money bad gone. The very last mortgage father ever made was to pay a bill held against him by the man who had filled this jug for years I Yes, I saw as it passed before me?a flit? tering picture of rum ! rum .'?debt! debt! debt! And in the end death! And I returned to my Mollie, and giving her a kiss said : "Mollie, my own, I'll keep the prom? ise 1 I will, so help me heaven I And I have kept it. In less than five years, as Mollie had said, the mortgage was clear? ed off, and now we have a few hundreds at interest. There hangs the old jug just as we hung it on that day ; and from that time there hasn't been a drop of spirits brought into the house for a bev? erage that that bottomless jug wouldn't hold. "Dear old jug! We mean to keep it and band it down to our children for the lesson it can give them?a lesson of life ?of a happy, peaceful, prosperous and blessed!" And as be ceased speaking his wife, with her arms drawn tenderly around the neck of her youngest boy, murmured a fervent "Ara?n !"?Selected. ? The greatest work of printing ever undertaken is supposed to be the publi? cation by the government printing office of 10,000 copies of the "Records of the War of the Rebellion" in 120 royal octavo volumes of 800 pages each, at a cost of $1,260,000. This work will prob? ably be finished next year. Embarrassed. The Rev. Mr.-was one of the most bashful men in the profession and was constantly getting into scrapes through his nervous mistakes. At one time be rose in bis pulpit and gave out the hymn, "Tbis world is all a fleeting show," and after clearing bis throat, he struck a high pitch of voice and began solemnly : "This world is all a floating shoe." Everybody smiled except the deacons, and the minister was covered with con? fusion as be began again : "Tbis world is all a shouting flow." This only made matters worse and the unhappy man cleared his throat with tremendous force and began once egnin ''This world is all a floating she." Then be slammed the hymn book down and wiping bis clammy brow said : "Brethren, for some reason I cannot read that hymn as it should be read ; we will omit it, and the choir will please Bing the grand old lineB beginning: "Just as I am without one flea." A Successful Farmer. - The most successful farmer in North Carolina is said to be Mr. T. J. King, a bachelor of thirty, residing at Louisburg. He is called a book farmer, because be uses bis brains and scientific knowledge in bis business. In 1890 he produced 1,330 pounds lint three bales on one acre?the largest yield ever known in the State. At one of our Piedmont exopsitions his exhibit covered 1,600 square feet of space, and included sixty varieties of corn, thirty-four of cotton, forty-three species of bay and grasses, ten of tobac? co, ninety-six specimens of garden crops, twenty two kinds of wine, 150 jars of preserves, jellies, etc., with many varieties of wheat, oats, peas and pota? toes. He was the youngest exhibitor at the exposition, and took the first prize on several of his exhibits.?Southern Cul? tivator. Planting Trees for Profit. _ Our Arbor Day and other reforesting movements will cause tree planting to be? come very general throughout the coun? try, and the thing to do is to make it profitable in every possible way. According to the New York Evening Post, a farmer in Wautauga county, North Carolina, has just sold' a curly walnut tree to a New York firm for $500. It is a very large tree and the purchasers expect to make $1.500 out of it after working it up. Several New York and Philadelphia houses have agents travel? ing through western North Carolina pur? chasing valuable hard wood as it stands in the forest, and it is no unusual thing to pay from SI 00 to $300 for p rough wal? nut tree. Tbis is a pointer worth acting upon. Our land owners will find that it will handsomely pay them or their children if | they will go into the business of produc? ing black walnut timber on a large scale. An acre containing Bay 100 walnut trees would yield at the prices named some? thing like $20,000. Of course it would take many years to produce such trees, but it is a big thing to make forest land once in a generation yield timber that will bring in such a fortune. ? A farmer hear Spartanburg, S C, had missed many eggs of late, so he decided to set a trap and catch the offen der. The chief, be claims, proved to be I a large frog. ?

Speaking in an ordinary conversational tone, it is said, be can be easily heard across a forty acre field, and when calling at tbe top of his voice bis words may be distin? guished for more than a mile. ?

It is valued at $2, 000,000, and in it are included a set of pink diamonds, one of blue, one of yel? low and one of white.

There is a general idea that the Pres? ident's salary of ?50,000 a year is all that he receives, and that, when compared with the salaries paid the sovereigns of Europe, this sum is not enough..
