" Crawlers That Possess Bat I.lttle Brain Power and Are Very Tenacious of ' IJfe Beneficial to Farmers. "A snake has no means for separat ing flesh from bones and feathers," said an expert to a-reporter for the Washing-ton Star. "It swallows its prey alive. The latter usually dies of suffocation. In the process of deglu tition the breathing1 of the serpent is interfered with, so that after perform ing; it the reptile yawns widely in or der to take in air. Sometimes at this moment the victim, though already on its way to the stomach-of its devourer, has been known to turn about and crawl out again in safety, effecting its escape. . "When two snakes are in a cage to gether, and both gel hold. of the same frog or rat, they will advance upon it until their heads meet, when one of them will proceed to swallow the oth er. Keepers of serpents at zoological gardens have constantly to be on the lookout for such accidents. I have known one valuable reptile to be res cued after several feet of him had been consumed. When discovered in thi3 predicament only a foot of his tail stack out of the mouth of a com rade. , . ' "Cannibalism is very common in snakes. A box. of imported serpents labeled' 'ten cobras' or 'fourteen vi pers' will often be found short in the number on this account. It is a curi ous fact that these reptiles, as a rule, seize animals bigger than themselves. The structure of their ribs permits great expansion of the body, and a snake pf superior size is disposed of by doubling up in the stomach. "It is often asked what these crawl ing creatures are good for. For one thing, they .. are able to penetrate where no larger carnivorous animal could venture, into dense and noisome .morasses, bogs, jungles and swamps, amid the tangled vegetation of the tropics, where they feed on swarms of smaller reptiles. U he hedgehog, weasel, rat, peccary, badger, hog, goat and many kinds of birds keep snakes with in due limits as to numbers, while the latter devour innumerable, lesser ver min. Thus the balance of nature is maintained. "Snakes have small brains, slight in telligence and little sensibility to pain. They can live for a long time deprived of their vital organs, while the heart, if taken from the body, will continue to beat for a considerable time. If the head be severed it will try to bite, while the body will continue to move, coil and even spring. . "Many serpents which do not live in trees ' will climb them in search of birds' -eggs. They do much damage in poultry yartis. W nen once the eggs are-missed from a - hen's nest and a snake's track is discovered the farmer knows that the thief will repeat the offense, so a watcli is set and no mercy is shown to the culprit when eaugut. "On the other hand, snakes are of important use to agriculture by con suming the inice that devour the crops.' Snake catchers who pack serpents for transportation across the ocean, com monly supply them with food for the journey in the shape of eggs. "There is -a, well-authenticated story of a cobra that got through a chink in a hen-house and ate so many eggs from under a sitting fowl that it could not get out again through the same crack. Next morning it was killed and cut open, when, as the eggs were found to be unbroken and still warm, the experi ment was tried of replacing them un der the mother, who, in due time, hatched out the -brood none the worse for this remarkable aeciAeut. "Black snakes, though not venom ous, are killed by farmers wherever found, because of the havoc they make in poultry yards. This kind of serpent climbs trees with ease and has been described as the. 'nimblest creature liv ing. There is one very extraordinary serpent called the 'anodon,' whose business, according to Prof.' Owen, is to restrain the undue increase of small birds by devouring their eggs. Far back in its throat it has certain pro jections which serve as teeth, though, in reality, they are points of the spine projecting into the gullet." ..

Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year1 or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. - He says : "In the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considersible suc cess, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of the remedy." It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment.- When you wish to cure a cold quickly and effectually give this remedy a trial. .25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, druggists.

In the 'case 'of Pines tUe Procesfc Requires 'Ten Tears for CnmpletWrif. .' The"art of dwarfing platats is 'so lit tle known in other lands that a short description of its process is given by .Garden and Forest. The pines may truly be considered the most impor tant of all trees in -Japan, and great care is taken in their cultivation and preservation. 'They are. generally crown from seed, and great care is taken to. select the choicest quality of. seed. In the spring of the second year, when the seedlings are about eight inches in height, .they are staked with bamboo canes and tied with rice 6traw, the plants being bent in differ ent desirable shapes. In the next fall they are . transplanted to richer soil and are well fertilized. In the follow ing spring the plants are restaked and twisted and tied in fanciful forms. This mode of treatment is 'given until the seventh year, when the trees will have assumed fairly large proportions, the branches being trained in graceful forms and the foliage like small crowds of dense green. The plants are now taken up and placed in pots one and a half feet in diameter, and are kept well watered every succeeding year; great care must be taken to keep new shoots pinched back. After' another three years of this treatment the trees are virtually dwarfed, there being no growth' thereafter. The dwarfing of bamboo is another - important branch of the Japanese nursery business. A few weeks after the shoots begin to grow, and when the trunks measure about three inches in circumference and five feet in height the bark is re moved, piece by piece, from the joint.- After five weeks, when the plants get somewhat stout, the stem is bent and tied in. -After three months, when the side shoots grow strong enough, they are all cut off five or six inches from the main trunk, they are then dug up and' potted in sand. Care should be taken not to use any' fertilizer, but plenty of water should be given. Cut off the large shoots every year in May or June, and after three years the twigs and leaves will present admirable yel low ana green tints.

' Everywhere about the valleys of New Mexico, invariably upon eminences, and -usually, upon high flat-topped mesas or table hills, are tne rtuns of houses of the ancient semi-civilized Indian population that lived here and tilled the soil before the coming of the" Spaniards, four centuries ago. The numbers of this old population can be only vaguely inferred by the numerous cobblestone foundations of their houses, still well defined above the sur face of the ground, and by the debris of the . fallen walls which constitute hillocks, grass-grown and intermixed with occasional old stone utensils and countless fragments of pottery. This pottery, when turned up by the spade is found to be handsome and varied in color and as fresh of . tint, as it could have been when the village was de-. stroyed or abandoned and every tradi tion of its existence lost in prehistoric past. , , An Adirondack i' tieiiouieaon. One of the most striking phenomena of the Adirondack region is the carry ing power of the human voice in still weather upon the lakes great and small. Persons ashore easily hear the ordinary conversation of others who are so far out upon the lake as to be. un distinguishable; and as a great many Adirondack visitors habitually violate the law touching the slaughter of deer, all such offenders are extremely care ful not even to whisper a word th&t might betray their guilt when rowing upon the lakes. The experience of Geo. A.,Apgar, of German Valles, N. J., is well worth re membering.
