?ner day* recently a surveying party,
wS?V at work on- Second mountain,
sear Lorberry.. were-compelled to drop
their instruments and mn. precipitately
Iowa the mountain side because of an
aneaming-host of snakes. Thc woods on
the- motxEstema- opposite were biazihfr
inriously and, a correspondent o? tho
New York. Times-says, the reptiles in a
fright came swanning- over on Second
mountain for refuge. On (they moved in
aoustless numbers, like &-wast army, all
tinda mtermihgied; and swept down
upon: the surveyors without warning.
Themen stood their ground in aston
fehirent for a. tame, but soon seeing the
host steadily multiply as it drew near,
tfcey. incontinently abandoned ca:ap and
ran away io- terror, closely followed in
their-flightby the snaky multitude.
At the-foot of the mountain is a road,
and there thecosps halted to await de?
velopments. ?Standing there they saw
thousands of snakes glide down
through the-grass and across the road,
j^sappearing ia the- tangled brush on
the- lower- side-- As the corps were about
leaving* they witnessed a quick and de?
cisive sombat between a giant biack
snaia*-?ad a rattler en route to the
^trashy
I The rattier was five- and one-Half feet
long and the blacksnake fully seven
; feet. The rattler was cutting- across
the road diagonally just as the black-*
snake went across straight from the
: same side. In a moment they collided
and then clinched.* The blacksnake
with a sudden twist of his body caught
the rattler tightly iii his coils. Thea
Se gave another twist and the game !
was up- for the rattler. The blacksnake '?
quickly uncoiled himself and darted j
into the bushes. On exa-mination of j
the dead rattler it was found that his i
bodjP was crushed into a pulp. In fif?
teen minutes mor"e the procession of
squirming, wriggling, gliding reptiles
had passed and. the surveyors were able
to returrt to the mountain and secure
their instruments.
NICKEL AND ITS USES.
Th? Many Advantages ?I as? A Hoy of
Nickel and Steel.
For a long time nature's hints were
neglected cr disregarded, but in 1SS3
patents were ts&en out in England and
Prance by difierent individuals for the
preparation: of nickel steel, says tire
Popular Science Monthly.
Tests of this alloy have bees=made by.
competent authorities and the effect of
the addition of small percentages of
nickel to steel is seen in greatly re?
duced tendency to oxidization and in?
creased strength. As-an example of the
superiority of this nickel steel the fol?
lowing results of one of the tests may
be given: A steel containing four and
seven-tenths per cent- of nickel
"showed an ultimate strength of thirty
per cent, and elastic limit of sixty to
seventy per cent, higher than those of
mild steeLwith a nearly equal ductility,,
and the valuable quality added of less
liability to corrosion.n The authority
who obtained these remarkable results
adds: "Think for a moment of this in
connection with thc erection of thc :
Forth bridge or of the Eiffel tower. If |
the engineers of those stupendous
structures had had at their disposal a
metal' of forty tons strength and tvren- |
ty-eight tons elastic limit instead of j
thirty tons strength and seventeen tons
elastic- Krait in the one case, and say
twenty-two tons strength and fourteen
to sixteen tons elastic limit in the
other, how many difficulties would have
been r. aced ia magnitude as the
weight of materials was red aced! The
Forth bridge would have become even
more light and airy and the tower
more netlike and graceful than they
are at present." And Sir Frederick
Abel, in his presidential address at the
Leeds meeting of the British associa?
tion, remarked: "It has been shown
by .Riley that a particular variety of
nickel steel presents to the engineer
the means of nearly doubling boiler
pressures without increasing weight or
dimensions." 1
A medical Father's Fad.
The Baltimore American says that
the indignation of the passengers on a
Western Maryland train was aroused
the other day by thc unusual spectacle
<?f a richly clad boy of five or six years,
whose legs and feet were perfectly
bare, although the day was a cold one.
The child was accompanied by his
mother and sister, who were evidently
people of wealth and refinement. On
inquiry it was learned that the boy was
the son of a prominent physician, who
had lost several children with throat
diseases, until he hit on the idea o?
turning his children out barefooted.
The experiment proved to bc a perfece
success. The barefooted boy was the
picture of health. Af the union station
in Baltimore he ran around cn the cold
bricks totally unaware of any discom?
fort- People are constantly shocked
and amazed at seeing thc children of ,
this gentleman going about barefooted,
winter and summer, but inasmuch as it
saves their lives, in his opinion, he is in?
different to criticism.
ISIarietlns: in Fpai'i.
It is not the custom for ladies to go to
market in Madrid and even the first
cook in the great houses disdains to ex?
pose herself to the jokes of the market
women. Jt falls to the place of the sec?
ond cook to do the marketing and she
prefers to pass her life in the position,
for it has many perquisites. It is un?
derstood that she expects her commis?
sion on all she buys and as prices vary
this is easy without detection. "She is
too dear" is sometimes said when a
servant is discharged, but no imputa?
tion is made against her character.
An Old Mulberry Tree.
It may be interesting to know that
there is still an old mulberry tree, a
cutting from Shakespeare's tree, planted
by Garrick in the garden of the house
occupied by the late Mr. Fisk, at thc
eornerof Afi Saints' street, Hastings,
says a corresp -.dent of the London
Notes and Queries. I clipped the in?
closed announcement from the Man?
chester Mercury of October, 1799: "Died,
a few days since, in his seventy-fifth
year, Mr. Thomas Sharp, clock and
watchmaker, of Stratford-upon-Avon,
and sole purchaser of the mulberry tree
planted there by the immortal Shako
speare."
A Friendly Settlement.
Maj. Campion, in his book "On the
Frontier." describes a deer hunt, in the
coarse of which he found his dog
astride the dead body of a deer, while
an Indian stood a little way off, bow
and arrow in hand. Hy signs he made
the white man understand that he had
wounded the deer and the dog pulled it
down. Then he cut up the deer, tied
the fore half of it up in the skin and
placed it on one side. The other half
he laid ut Maj. Campion's feet, deliver?
ing himself of a speech in the Ute lan?
guage. The white man understood his
meaning, but not a word of his address.
Thc Indian and the dog had killed the
deer together, and tlve dog's owner was
entitled to half the game. The major j
was equal to the emergency. lie rose
and delivered in full the classical j
declamation: "My name is Norval,"
with appropriate gestures, just as he j
had many times given it at school.
Nothing could- have been better. The j
Indian and the white man shook hands
with effusion and each with his share
of the venison rode away.
Qurrr History of Some Word*.
Speaking-:>f the strange, eventful his
torv of words, the Hartford Courant
notes that "queen" originally meant j
simply a woman, but now designates
the most glittering place which thc
ear*'; can bestow.while with the slight?
ly different spelling of "quean" it
stands for-a woman of a different sort j
*.->. too, *ikr>ave" at the start meant
only a boy, as in the German form,
"knabe:" but as boys go wrong some?
times the word in time obtained an un?
pleasant meaning. The word "imp"
might have been added as having very i
much thc same *iistory of "knave," f<>r, |
meaning, first, a fccioa or shoot, it next ;
stood forachi?d, a:vl now it means an !
inferior devil. Lord Bacon spoke of
"those most virtuous and goodly young
imp?, thc duke of Suffolk and bis
brother."""_

A GUESS AT TH ?I G rt CZ? i ROO WT.
Why a Green Cloth Was I^aid In Irtish
Tragedles.
When I was a lad in the painting
room of tho old Princess theater, A. D.
1S40, says a writer in the London
Times, whenever a tragedy was per?
formed there used to be laid down on
the stage a huge carpet of green baize.
Often and often have 1 asked the
stage carpenters, the property men, and
even the mighty proprietor himself
what was the meaning of this theatrical
board of green cloth. But I could never
obtain a satisfactory solution of the
mystery.
Long years afterward I was enabled
to solve the riddle. The meaning of
tho green cloth was simply this: In the
English tragic drama the heroes and
heroines are mournfully addicted to
dying in sight of the audience.
Now, in the fatter part of the seven?
teenth century, and during the first
fifty years cf the present one,- the no?
bility and gentry were in the generous
habit of presenting" their cast-off
drawing-room and birthnight dresses,
often made of the richest silks, satins
an d brocades, profusely embroidered
with gold and silver, to the most con?
spicuous among the players; and the
dramatic artists, when it was their
business to give up the ghost in pres?
ence of the audience, very sensibly ob?
jected to having their fine clothes
spoiled by coming in contact with the
not always clean boards of the stage.
So it occurred to some thoughtful
manager to lay down a green cloth on
which kings and queens could expire
with due dignity, but without soiling
their gay apparel.
I have a theory-only a theory-that
the ' "green room" at a playhouse de?
rived its name from the tragedy, green
cloth being kept there rolled in case of
need. _

Heal English Mistletoe Seldom Finds tte
Way to Tills Country.
"But mistletoe-English? mistletoe!
Surely that will never lose its hold!"
some reader may exclaim.
Not in name, perhaps, but in sub
stsncev says Agnes Carr Sage in Har?
per's Bazar, for you must know real
English mistletoe is as rare in this coun?
try as a white blackbird; and that so
called by florists, and supposed to pos?
sess all the properties with which the
black art of the middle ages endowed
the mystic parasite, because grown on
British soil, comes principally from Nor?
mandy, where it flourishes in such mad
profusion as to be a veritable nuisance,
while it has so embraced and strangled
the roadside poplar trees that the
French government has ordered it to be
entirely destroyed. If this edict is car?
ried into effect, we shall see very little
of the true mistletoe, viscum album, but
will have to content ourselves with its
American cousin, the phoradendron
fiavescens, which abounds in some of the
southern states, is really far prettier
and bears more berries, but lacks the
romantic associations clustered about
the "Allheal" of the Druids. We may
venture to predict, however, that so
tong- as there are merry hearts and fond
lovers on the earth, some sort of mis?
tletoe, ancient or modern, will be hung
ap each recurring December, for, as a>
sweet poetess of England sings:
Under the mistletoe peace and good will
Mingle thc spirits that long have been twain:
Leaves cf the olive branch twine with it still.
While breathings of hope fill the long carol
strain.

In thc reign cf old Christmas tide only he
found?
Bang up love's mistletoe over the earth,
And let us kiss under it all the year round.
DIPLOMACY DOES NOT PAY.
Some of England's Host Distinguished
Ambassadors Can't Save Money.
So great is Lord Dufferin's poverty
that during the time which intervened
between his vice-royalt}* of India and
his appointment as ambassador at St.
Petersburg, both he and Lady Dufferin
were forced for the sake of economy to
live at Paris under the name of Mr. and
Mrs. Temple on the fifth floor of the
Hotel Windsor on the Ruc de Rivoli.
Thc economies which this charming
couple were then forced to exercise,
were a painful and even pitiful sight
to those who, like myself, had had the
privilege of enjoying their gracious hos
pitality at Rideau hall, Ottawa.
Lord Dufferin's case, I may add, is
not the exception, but rather the rule,
in the English government service, and
the most of the holders of lucrative
posts quit office in debt. Among the
many instances thereof I need only cite
those of Lord Augustus Loftus, who be?
came bankrupt after retiring from
fifty years' of diplomatic service, and
tho late earl of Granville and of Lord
Lytton, who have left their families in
a very impoverished condition, although
during their entire lifetime they had
held one or another of the highest office?
in the gift of the crowds.
Oddities About Man's Weight.
Prof. Huxley declares that the proper
weight of man is 154 pounds, made up
as follows: Muscles and their appurte?
nances, 68 pounds; skeleton, 24 pounds;
skin, 10% pounds; fat, 28 pounds; brain.
3 pounds; abdominal viscera, ll pounds;
blood (that which would drain from the
body), 7 pounds. The heart of such a
man should beat 75 times in a minute
and he should breathe 15 times during
each minuto. At that rate, in 24 hours
he would vitiate 1,750 cubic feet of pure
air to the extent of 1 per cent. In the
same length of time he should throw
off through the skin 18 ounces of water;
300 grains of solid matter and 400 grains
of carbonic aeid.
Hair lu Church History.
The custom of clerics of the Roman
Catholic church not wearing a beard
is supposed to date from the earliest
history of the church. The early Chris?
tians, to manifest their dislike of pagan
vanity in the effeminacy of long and
curling hair and carefully cultivated
beards, shaved their faces and kept
their hair cropped close. In the time
of Tertullian this wa? a mark of the
Christian. The early tonsure, known
as St. Peter's, of Rome, had the entire
head closely, shaven, leaving but a nar?
row rim. Custom nowadays takes but
a small lock of hair from the head.

What do you think of the idea of hell,
