Tfcey Are Valuable cs Aids to the Agriculturist. 0 It Is not generally known that the preservation of harmless snakes Is as Important as the destruction of the tests of pests met with in farming and la market gardening. 4The national record* contain sad his tories of the total or partial extermina tion ef many animals which arc useful or beautiful or both. let there are few animals more use ful in one way than snakes. If human ity alone prevented the killing of harm less snakes, bow can wo justify It wfcen they are proved to bo useful to us? Consider the economic relation of a snake to an ear of corn or a row of potatoes. Snakes live almost en tirely upon creatures which are de structive to growing things—that Is, they cat literally millions of Insects, a mall mammals and worms. Especial- nee potato bugs, worms, die*. l»ec- ttar. maggots, ants, grubs, grasshop pers, locusts and the larvae of these the food of most of our snakes.

We exclude the rattlesnakes and the moccasins because nil are large, easily recognized form*, which cannot We confused with harmless kinds. Liv ing id water, the moccasins are not of ten troublesome to fanning regions ami are confined to the south from North Carolina around the gulf coast and the Florida peninsula nfld »:>»n: the southern Mississippi, living in rvamim. The two really poisonous snakes which might be mistaken for harmless ones are tho copi>erhead and the coral snake. Of the two the copperhead only tuv-ds our attention. This truly pol aonons snake Is slender and Wa:? tew features to distinguish It from harm less milk snakes. .It Is found usually in rocky hills or stone piles, old cellars being a favorite spot. But it should not bo greatly feared, for unless at tacked or stepped on It will not I Ite. and it Is seldom found where there Is cultivation of the ground In progress.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Your charges show me that he spends his evenings at home and that he is up In the morning clear headed and ready for business. They show me that there is no nonsense about Billy. He Isn’t one of those fellows who want to embroider violets on the summer clouds. He’s on to his Job.

If you make him go out uud sit ou the curbetoue alone while he take* hi* after dinuer smoke the effect is morally and physically bad, and the first thing you know he’ll lie chasing off to some place where he can smoke iu comfort. That’s the beginning of the eud.

The other habits that you object to are Just failings, aud they are so near ly universal among the wearers of trousers that their absence would in dicate something radically wrong. I don't know why it Is, and I don’t think the scientific fellows ever tried to ex plain It, though they have wasted their lives in iuvestlgating things' of much less importance, but tiie fact remaijos that few men can be really, truly com fortable unless they can get their feet off the floor when they sit down. I have a kind of notion that it’s one of nature's methods of equalizing the cir culation of the blood.

Tho cat had watched tho little hoi© lu the bam for boura at a time every day, but the wise mouse had watched the cat, and so he had never been caught But one night, when tho moon was hidden, the mouse sauntered out In search of food. It was so dark that he did not see the cat, who sat behind a hush watching for him. In less time than It takes me to write It the cat had seised tbe poor little trembling mouse. “Now I shall cat you,” threat ened the cat aa bo put the mouse down on the ground, with one paw on his back that he might not escape. “Very well,” sighed tho wise mouse, “but will you first grant me one re quest?*' “Yes,” replied tho cat, “I will do that, as it Is customary to grant last requests to people who are about to die. What is it?” “I hare often listened to your sing- lug and greatly admired it Will you please slug one song to me before you eat me?” “With pleasure,” replied the cat, for he was very vain about his voice. So he straightened himself up and sang with all bis mights He forgot all about tbe wise mouse until he finished his song, and when he looked around fqr tho applause be expected tho mouse, had vanished.—New York Press. /'W -xti'W The Deacon's Philosophy.
