Fell Into a ! Unakes.
Prospectors in Winston county had
most exciting encounter with reptile,
the particulars of which have just be
come known. It is well known that for
years a snake den ha existed in that
county, and travelers have told of ths
remarkable number of huge snukes to be
teen under a certain rock. Climb up to
the rock alxive the don, and seemingly
thousands of snakes appear below, writh
ing about as if in agony, entwined about
each other in an indescribable mass. V
stone is dropped down into this den an
odor arises which, it la stated, almost
renders those alwve unconscious. '
A party of prospectors visited this not
ed den and one of them, having heard
the story of the sickening odor emitted
from these reptiles, concluded to test it
and dropped a stone. The odor was
more sudden than usual and stronger
than ever known betore, ana we piw
pector, it appears, being unable to re
pel its effects, became dizzy and fell into
the snake den below. His horrified
companions looked over the precipice
and ftAUT him full among the snakes and
then supposed that he waa killed. But
when he struck the snen or roc wm
was occupied by the snakes' he rolled off
and fell, bis body striking the branches
a tr. where he lodired. As he foil
from the den it was seen that a snake
was clinging to his arm, another around
his body, and still anotner arounu mi
leg, but in some almost miraculous way
these were all knocked on Dy me oraucu
of th tree which he fell into.
Hi rtninnanlons ran at once to tne dov
torn of the mountain, then went back to
the tree, which they climbed, and found
the unfortunate man alive, but uncon
scious. They took him to a neignoonng
cabin, and it was found that, while he
was considerably bruised ana naa a uro
ken arm from the fall, none of the snakes
had bitten him in any exposed part of
the body, and he was not injured by Ids
thrilling exjierience except, as stated,
from the fall.-Alabaina Cor. St Louis

"Ephrum's" InorwllbU Meanness.
Down in Washington county I heard of
an old fellow, a venerable octogenarian,
who had seen his molars depart one by
one, while his canines and incisors fol
lowed in mournful procession, unni oiu
age found him bereft of all his early as
sistants in mastication. Awhile ago he
visited a dentist in a neighboring town
and announced that he had concluded to
invest in a sot of false teeth, and at once
began to discuss the finnnqial points in
volved. During the discussion he ex
plained why he was compelled at this
late hour to make such a venture. "Yer
see," said the old man, "wobbling" his
toothless jaws, "I ben a-needin sutnin
o' the kind fer a long spell back, but
brother Ephruui, who wuz inoren ten
year older'n I be, he had a bran new pa'r,
reg'lar double deckers they war, n'i
Ephrum war a-ailin' and likely wouldn't
last long, I jest waited erlong for his'n,
V 1 ben wuitin' fur them teeth," dis
gustedly, "sence 'way back in the seven
ties, tell abaout a month ago" here his
voice took on a sarcastic tone "Ephrum
he jest couldn't stick it aout no longer,
V he up 'n' died. But, dern it" indig
nantly "of he didn't ensist afore he left
that them thar teeth should be buried
along with him ! ensisted o it, V what's
more he jest shet his mouth so larnal
solid no mortal man could ha' got 'em,
'n' died so!" Lewiston Journal

The civilization of Peru began about
the same time as tnai oi jeiw,
500 years prior to the landing of Colum
bus. It Is attributed to Manlo, the first
Peruvian king of the Incas line, who e
tablished the empire on a firm basis, lie
..,.,.r..ri tlia country by a number or
"straight roads, often 100 miles In extent,
and all connected wun me cnuiuu.
Along these roads were piaceu "
of repose and entertainment iu
king's runners. Agriculture receive
much attention, and, on account of the
scarcity of rain prevalent in mat re8.u,
the fields were watered by canals led In
from rivers and lakes. 1 lie peopie culti
vated maize, potatoes, and cotton, aud
had quite an extensive commerce.
The religious character of the ancient
Peruvians is an interesting study. They
were much more developed in this re
gpect than their southern neighbors, and
while the worship of the sun atoms lo
have been the religion of the people. Vheir
priests seem to hare held the higher be
lief of a personal God, creator of the sun
and other heavenly bodies.
Human sacrifices were almost un
known in Peru, and cannibalism is never
found. Picture writing was used to a
great extent, aud a record of time was
kept by a system of knotted strings.
They had quite developed lu poetry, and
we have still some thirty or forty of their
songs, which were mainly upon their af
fections. Philadelphia Ledger.
Danger lo Glasses.
Rv wearinir too strong near sighted
glasses continuously the nearsightedness
mnv be verv ereatly increased and a dis
eased condition of the interior of the eye
caused, which may lead to very great
loesof sight and even total Diinunesa,
Then, in other cases, wearing an eye
glass may do very much harm, because
we frequently notice people with their
eyeglasses tipped at various angles. In
fhpRB cases that class is acting as a prism,
and is not doing the work it should, but
Is causing a strain upon the accommoda
tion, which may be the starting point of
a long series of nervous disorders, again,

Cincinnati Building Associations.
The building association interest in
this vicinity is at this time more than
ever before in need of a central ex
change. Many of the savings societies
In Hamilton county have accumulations
of money not invested. These idle accu
mulations vary in amounts from $1,000
to $20,000. Of the 840 building associa
tions in this, vicinity probably fifty havs
at all times idle capital, and a fair aver-,
age of the amount on hand would bt
12.000 for each oue, or $100,000 in all
which at 0 per cent per annum would
be $0,000 actual loss annually to thi
building association fraternity by reason
of non-invested funds. If there existed
an exchange supported by all the asso
ciations in thiB vicinity then the idle cap
ital of the one could be diverted to ex
cess needs of the other, and the profit on
the loan would remain in the building
association circle and not go outside to
the banks. The cost of supporting sucb
an exchange, including rent, clerk hire,
gas, fuel, etc., would not exceed $2,000 a
year, or less than $10 for eacn associa
tion, and would accomplish tne saving ol
$4,000 a year for the fraternity. A move
ment looking forward to the establish
ment of the central exchange has begun,

Schoolmasters of experience could, no
doubt, tell of numerous cases of boys
who have been distinguished at school
for nothing at all. except possibly gen

The usual rule, however, seems to be that.
if a bov is going to turn into a great man,
he shows some signs of his future in his
early career. It is not necessary for these
indications to be intellectual; a youth en

A Dove Luncheon.
A well known society woman has de
veloped a really new idea in the way of
a "dove luncheon." It haa long been de
clared by the lady's circle of friends thai
she closely resembles tbe portraits ot
Marie Antoinette, and taking this as
suggestion she entertained last week
dozen friends at what she called a Louis
Seize luncheon. The hostess herself was
dressed in a gown that faithfully copied
one of the unfortunate queen's, and each
of the guests had chosen some other fa
mous woman of that period of famooj
women, whom she personated in cos
tume aud coiffure. The adorning of ths
table and the service of the luncheon
waa made as consonant as possible with
the rest of the affair, and the topic
chosen for conversation was the women
of the French revolution. New York
