A United States cavalryman, sta tioned at Fort Meade, S. 1)., writes to Forest and Stream as follows in regard to the self-destruction of n three-fanged rattlesnake: "As to the suicide of the creature, I am forced' to ask for an explanation. The snake at first sight, coiled up in the usual manner for a prime strike, made a vicious lunge at my legging, then drew back and closely scrutinized me from hat to shoe. Instantly a change of expression came over his features, and ferocity gave way to a look that might have been born of dis gust and resignation. I watched him closely, not knowing what might be hfs next move. He suddenly astonished me by plunging headlong into the Belle Fourche. Motionless lie snnk, and lay at full length at the bottom. I con tinued to watch him until the last ves tige of his rcptilious breath hud ripen to the plncid surface in a pcarJy bub ble, and then with the aid of a stick I raised him from the water, placed him in the sunshine and satisfied myself that life was extinct. I had neve? known or heard of a rattler taking to water, and here 1 was confronted by the plainest case of suicide by drovnii!!? in broad daylight. I have, since thci lost all faith in snakes. I have adopted and discarded every theory that might offer a xolution in lliiscase,aiid urn now driven to the lwlief that this snake de 111 crately suicided because It had com mitted the blunder of wasting n well meant three-fanged strike on a United States cavalryman. Hereafter I shall travel incognito in those parts." A Hlhcriun Starch. A remarkable ninrch of -1,700 miles ncross Siberia, occiipyingnlinosta year, linn just been completed by two Russian battalions of line infantry and two butteries of artillery, which lately reached their camp on the Amur.

It is reported tlint u short time ago nn order was isued on one of the fines of the Pennsylvania company for nil section men to come to the otllec on u certain dny and have their eyes exam ined. The following day, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, u number of inun appeared and passed the examination, .lust before the man who had charge of the tests left the olliee a lnesi'sngerboy cnine hurrying in with a small package neatly tied up and addresed to the eye inspector. Hie latter opened it, and wassurprised to find a glasseye wrapped in tissue paper, and also an old-fashioned silver watch. The contents of the package proved a puzzle to the Inspect or until he unfolded n hastily folded scribbled note, which, on being deciph ered, was found to read as follows: "Oye inspector: Dear Sir The day before yesterdr.v at nunc 1 got word to cum down and have me ise looked after for eulur blindness as ye call it. 1 had 15 ties and ten rails to put down beyond the sand out us jerry Sullivan nud Doin inlek Coolly wete laid up since tliewnko that wuz holded over Dannv Dohertv my hands war too short to spare me.

Parents Were Hard 1'riMU'd When They Cikvn Their Ilithli't Dcslsimtlim. You will not have to leave your own state of Kentucky if you want to find names that are as odd as they are curious, says the Hazel (Iroen Herald. For instance, Letcher county has fami lies in which these names are found: Hogg, Horn, Ilnppy, Holiday, Profit, Democrat, Rockliouse, Rittenwelter, Wnlkin and Watergate. Some pecul iar post offices found in these counties are: Smooth Creek, .Millstone, Paper weight, Rockliouse, Ratterhard and .Solomon. They believe in long names ii) that way, and one poor child struggles under the cognomen of Rob ert S. Samuel T. Nelson 1!. Benjamin P. Hester. In Knott county there is one family which has ten members nicknamed thus: Stick, Burch, Ham. Uardup, Buck, Dol, Sal, Let, Pol, But mid Do-em. Leslie county lias a .Mad i)og, Cutshiu and Ilell-for-Snrtin post ollioes, and the last named is on Hell-for-Sartin creek, which is said to have boon named by early settlers who on-i-ountered many tribulations while ex ploring this locality and named the creek accordingly. Pike county comes next with Bass, Beatrice, Beefhido, Canada, Lookout, Paw-Paw nnd Praise post offices. Elliott has Backbone, Gimlet, Mink, Ordinary and Wycttpost ollices. THE FOREST PEST. A Hiiro Homo-Fly That Ides In Wnlt In Mossy Dells. Miss Eleanor Ornierod. in a letter to tho Veterinary Record, gives some in-J tcrosting details of Indian forest 1'ics, I which, after all, are not so very unhid the horrible pests of the same name which frequent tho woods of riontliern Liiglnnd, and most distinctly make life "not worth living" to the poor horses whom they select! us victims. Miss Or nierod snys that "some horse" are driven mad by the presence of a single fly, and in driving along not iinfrequentl,) start kicking most violently, frequently run ning away with the carriage," etc. This has reference to tho Indian specimen, but we read that the English winged demon has a "large curved claw with a saw-like edge beneath it, with grooves down tho lower pnrtof the side of the claw, so that each groove runs to the notch lietween eneh tooth, theclavvs, when. laid side by side, forming a most powerful grasping Instrument." I'enl i;;ing, however faintly, what sulTerir.g such creatures can inflict 011 their prey, surely no one will hesitate to get down at once to searcli for, and if found pull oli, the forest lly when a horse bocoir.i.s suddenly irritable and fractious while being driven through country lance or woods. MONEY THAT IS TO BURN. Confederate illlla Used Lnrjrely In Milking Klertrlc-l.lKht Cur bond. "Did you ever know what has become of the grenter jmrt of tho confederate paper money with which this country was flooded some yenrs buck?" asked a local business man who had just re turned from n trip to the Atlanta ex position. "No? Well, neither did I until J struck Atlanta a few weeks ago. in that town I found an old mnn who makes a business of quietly gathering in (ill the; confederate bank notes ho can find. You know the stulf was issued by the ton during the war, and there is any quantity of it still floating around.' When the old man gets a big bundle of the. paper ho sends it to Edison, tho inventor, who pays a good price for it. Edison uses it to muko carbon for in ciindescent lamps. The, puper upon which the confederate notes wore en graved was made of tho pulp of sen grass. This brunch of tho paper mak ing industry has since become a dead art, snys the Philadelphia Record. Sea gruss paper, When chemically treated by Edison, lias been found to make the bent sort of carbon for Incan descent lights, and ho there Is nhvayn 1 demand for the confederate bills."
