While threshing his grain last week A. J. Daley killed the largest rattlesnake 01 the season. It meas ured nearly four feet in length and about eight inches in ci rcu m ference and had eight rattles and a button. ' Mrs. Taylor, who- has been stop ping' for a few weeks - with v m. Holmes' family in Central Point, returned home last Thursday. Her daughter. Miss Mattie, and Miss Gertie Eddy were visiting friends in Medford last week. 1 A. J. Daley, our enterprising saw mill man, farmer and stock-raiser, has been furnishing the lumber for the floor of the Brownsooro bridge, and those who have seen it pro nounce it of an extra fine quality in fact, the. Round Top timber 13 hard to beat in any country. Last Sunday Mrs. Sinclair, J. J-. Fryer, wife and daughter, Lelah, and Bovd Tucker went fishing and picnicing. Thev had a fine time and saw some of the finest lot of fish they have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. One of the young ladies in her excitement declared that some of them jumped out of the water the length of the fish pole. about 18 feet. Near Gainsville. Ga., ' a ncwly married couple on tic tram the other aay attracted a good leal vt attention at a station by their peculiar behavior. A lady got on the train Et a station and took a scat in front of them Scarcely was she seated before they commenced making remarks about her wearing last season's hat and dress. She was severely criticised by them for some moments. - Presently the lady turned around. She noticed at a glance that the bride was older than the gToom, and without the least re sentment in her countenance she said: "Madam, will you please have your son to close the window behind you?" The son closed his month instead and the madam did not giggle again. The Earta (ioct Bound. Since Galileo's time most people have believed that the earth revolves on its axis; but it is one thing to 'accept a theory upon hearsay and another to verify it for one's self. This latter is what a Philadelphia girl seems to have done. "I believe the world does turn round," 6he declared to her mother, in a tone of one who has been troubled with doubts. "What is it that has convinced you?" asked the mother. "1 can see it whirl when J twist up in my swing and then untwist." ''Isn't it you that whirls, instead of the earth?" suggested her mother. , "Yes, but it goes after . I stop," said the little philosopher; and that settled it. Philadelphia Times. A WOMAN'S WAIST. Irreparable Injury Done by Tight Lac-."- - . Id. It is matter for rejoicing that fashion is no longer to decree a slender waist as something indispensable to propriety and grace. The natural waist of the woman of average height is about 23 inches, and any less size is attained only through arrested development, or compression of means of whalebone and steel. The amount of room inside these 28 inches is absolutely needed for the proper working of the machinery of the internal economy. In spite of this fact girls very often bind the yielding ribs into such narrow com pass that the waist measures 20 or 22 inches only, and you will now and then hear some ! mother of a family, with a very differ ent waist now, boast as if it were some thing to be proud of that when she was 19 her waist measure waa 19 too. It is, however, of no use to talk to young peo ple about the injurious effect of com pression on stomach, hearts lungs, liver and the arterial system. They axe not anatomists, and they do not compre hend the matter nor -want to do so; they observe that they feel as well now as they did before, and without weigh ing the thought that it requires time to work ruin, take it for granted that they always will feel ns well, ulthough they have been told and taught that in post-mortem examinations it has been found that wherever tight lacing has leen the vule, every organ was out of place and seriously injured. But al though it does move them n triile to be told that red noses and eruptive skins and flat chests arc to be laid to the ac count of the too slender waist, yet on the whole neither common-sense nor auld-wifc wisdom nor doctors have the power of conviction that fashion does, and when fashion says that there is no beauty in a wasp's waist, but that the linea of nobility and health made by deep breathing are the really lovely lines, fragility being something rather to be feared than loved, why then fragility begins to be avoided, and the linea of the Venus de Milo, of the Diana, of the Pallas, begin to come in. The babit of tight lacing baa already done almost irretrievable Injury. If it were continued there ia no knowing what ahape it might eventually have developed. Even no sculptors declare that a model with a natural, waist, sloping outward rather than inward, ia something not to be found, even the most charming figures otherwise hav ing the hour-glaaa tendency, in how ever, slight a form sufficient to spoil them for posing for anything de manding the freedom, the beauty and grace of ! the antique. The Greek woman supported and stayed her self with bands of linen, but there was no compression in the swathe, and her natural waist made her of a perfect beauty: and to-day the natural waist of the Circassian does not interfere with the reputation of her loveliness. The adoption of European dress by ladies of the harem, and of Japan, showing. as it does, either a want of the knowl edge of true beauty or a willful aban donment of its principles, will prob ably lesd to tight lacing in the orient just as we are relinquishing it here. Why anyone should ever have imag ined that a waist which looked as if it were going to break in two could be more at tractive than a waist which looked capable of supporting its head and arms and shoulders is a mystery so great a mystery that the effort to solve it is to be given up in satisfac tion over the report that the foreign creators of the mode have recently asked themselves the question if the shape that the Creator chose forhe human body was one they could im prove. Harper's Bazar. Fondnraa of Mica for Montr. A nice little animal story is given in this month's Xaiure Notes, which raises the interesting question whether niiev have a fondness for music. It is con tributed by abiusicinn. whosavs: "One evening I was somewhat startled at hearing my piano suddenly gi ir.g forth sweet nounds. iipjc.reuTly of its own ac cord. A mouse, so it provrit. hud got inside the instrument, ar-d v. .-..! n.a:iir.,7 music on the wires. Whether this was intentional on mousie's part or not I cannot say; perhaps he was trying to make a nest for himself there. Some years ago, however, while a piano was being played in the dining-room of my old home, several mice came out upon t he hearthrug and began to jump aliou t. apparently with delight nt the sound of the music, and one was either so ab sorbed orovercome by it that hccllowcd himself to be carried away in a tongs by the housemaid." After this. Indies ought to lose their antipathy to mice; indeed, we may soon expect some hu manitarian dame to commence musical parties for their delectation. It would bo amusing to see them dance, nnd would form a really humane method of catching them. London News. Thought T a Joke. A San Francisco physician was asked to call at a given address a few days ago and perform a delicate surgical operation. The next dav, according to appointment, he went to the address given and found it was an undertaker's establishment. lie decided that ho had been hoaxed and was just about to leave when a young man appeared and told him he was wanted upstairs. lie went up and found the young medical student who was to assist and two or three more men standing around an improvised operating table in the store room in which the undertaker kept his coffins. - Caskets and boxes were lying all about the room and a big coffin stood upright alongside the table. The surgeon was positive it was all a joke then,' but he was informed that the pa tient was in a small room adjoining, ready to undergo tho operation. Ho was carried in and laid on tho table. The surgeon hesitated. The coQin be side tho operating tabic was too sug gestive. The patient noticed it and ro .narked, cheerily: "Go ahead, Doc, you ought to be able to stand it if I mn." The operation was performed, but it tried the surgeon's nerve. t-On'tlGei NUTCS. Cobney Grain's memory is to be kept alive by the endowment by his friends of a bed in a London hospital for sick children. Oi.v .ScnnEixKn's "Story of an African Farm" maintains its popularity. Ten thousand copies of the book were sold last year by the London publish ers alone. M. Guzman, a musical enthusiast, hr.s left tifty thousand francs to the city of Paris to pay for musical enter tainments for tho sick poor in hospitals and asylums. , It is hiutcd by Lo Figaro that Sar-. dou 8 "Rabagas," which was suppressed os being an attack on Garnlietta, is to be given nt tho Paris Ambigu, with C'oquelin aino in the title part.

Grand Duke Karl Alexander, who Uvea in Weimar, is fourth in point of age, and Queen Victoria, with her seventy-four years, is the fifth oldest mon arch. The youngest crowned heads are the little queen of the Nether lands, who is thirteen, and the king of Spain, who is seven and a half years old. A t'Mfnl Drwn. The following extract Is from an arti cle in "Longman's Magazine," by Mrs. Leckey, on "The Roman Journal of Gregorovius:" "Be (Grcgorovius) made the acquaintance of Baron von Haxthausen, a Westphalian. the well known writer ea Russia, who had a tendency to spiritualism, and was inex haustible in ghixit stories. Gregorovius himself was a threat dreamer. In the early port of the Journal he tells an ex perience which might be recorded in the annals of the Psychical society. When he was a boy at the gymnasium, before his 'Arbituricntcn' examination the equivalent of matriculation ho dreamt that the professor gave him the Ode of Horace.' Mustum ac tenaeem propositi Tirum. to explain. I studied it well, he says, and when on the day of the examination I entered the hall with my school-fellows, I told them in what way I had learnt what i was go ing to be examined in. They laughed at me. Prof. Pctrany took up Horace and said to me: "Open at the ode, 'Juo- tnm ac tenaeem propositi viram. The others looked at me in astonishment. and I passed brilliantly." Balled Tp. Lawyers are not more free than other public speakers from slips of the tongue. Mr. Asqmth. of the Knghsh . cabinet, in a rvnvnt speech in parlia ; mcnt, said; "Let it be known, pontle i men, that of those just demands we ; abate not one jit or tottlef A few days later an Engli:ili judge, after a policeman hud testified that he had found the prisoners in bed with their clothes on, asked, in amazement: "Do you mean to say that they had gone to boot with their beds on?" I -TT I ill 'N a young girl's life there comes a time when the. careless innocence of child hood changes to the modest, blushing maidenly self-con sciousness ot ap. Iproaching maturity. The eye is brighter ; the form is rounder; there is a touch of shy coquetry in the glance: the girl has become a woman. She has entered that critical period so full of happy possibil ities, yet so hedged about with the phy sical sufferings and dangers peculiar to her sex. It has been said that to be a woman ia to suffer. Too often this is true. A wo man's whole nature is so bound up in the soecinl functions of her womanhood that any disturbance of this sensitive organism throws the whole system out of harmony. "Female weakness" causes nine-tenths of all the wretchedness which women endure. It can never be per manently relieved by "local treatments." That is generally an expensive, embarras ing, useless, make-shift. What is needed is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to reach the innermost sources of the trouble and restore health and strength directly to the internal organs. This stops the weakening drains which sap life's foundation ; heals all ulcerated conditions, gives the ligaments elastic power of themselves to correct mis placement of internal organs and imparts tone, vigor and vitality to the entire feminine organism. In a word the "Favorite Pre scription " inake9 healthy, happy women. Dr. Pierce i the Clilef Consultitm Physician of the Invalids' Hotel anil Snruical Iuktiiiile, Buffalo, N.
