Pains in the Back
Are symptoms of a "wreak, torpid or stag
nant condition of the kidneys or liver,
and are a warning it is extremely haz
ardous to neglect, so important ia a
healthy action of these organs.
They are commonly attended by loss
of energy, lack of courage, and some
times by gloomy foreboding and de
spondency. Hood's Sarsaparilla

Natural Breeding Ground for The:
Illustrations of the Power of the
Serpent to Fascinate Experience
with a Coach-Whin Snake.
The Smithsonian Institution authori
ties say that more varieties of poison
ous snakes are found in Arizona than
in any other part of the United States.
The best authority on Arizona snakes
Is believed to be Graham Peck, who
has been studying them for years.
"No other region in the United, States
is so much of a natural breeding
ground for the rattlesnake as is south
ern Arizona," said he to a correspond
ent of the New York Sun. "The rocks
of the mountains and foothills are of
a heavy yellow and gray color and the
soil is so like the hues of a rattler that
a snake can move slowly along and
hardly be perceived by a person fifty
feet away. The hot, dry air and th.
warm, sandy earth and the immense
quantity of small birds and ground
squirrels in the mountain canyons and
brush all combine to make life for rat
tlesnakes in this region one of rare
ease and comfort.
There are literally tens of thou
sands of rattlers in the sage brush and
chapparel along the edge of southern
Arizona wastes. They grow to enor
mous size and it Is common to read of
the capture of rattlesnakes five and six
feet long, with fourteen and fifteen rat
tles.
"Hog-nose snakes are quite plentiful
In the mountainous parts of Arizona.
After all the talk about serpents hiss
ing, this is the only specimen or tne
ophidian family which I have ever
heard utter a sound.
'Many writers on reptiles In America
say that thunder snakes are common
In Texas,-New Mexico and Arizona.
They are really uncommon In the terri
tories. They are a prairie reptile ana
are often encountered by prairie trav
elers, especially before and after thun
derstorms. 'Flashes of lightning and claps of
thunder, which are terrifying to bipeds
and quadrupeds, seem to have a charm
for these members of the ophidian
family. Whenever a thunderstorm
comes up these snakes come crawling
out of holes, from behind rocks and
rotten stumps and enjoy the fun while
it lasts.
"The coach whip Is remarkable for
Its tremendous length and surprising
speed. It Is cream or clay colored,
very much like the hard-baked prairie
over which it glides, is very long and
Its scales are arranged In such a man
ner that thev closely resemble the
plaited leather of a whip.
'Not endowed with poison, It has
tremendous nower of constriction. It
forms Its body Into coils which are ca
pable of crushing sheep, dogs and coy
otes.
'When I was in Lower California In
1S90 I was told by a Mexican peon
that he had a 10-year-old boy squeezed
to death by a coach whip a few years
before. The man said that on another
occasion his wife was attacked by a
coach whip which threw its coils about
her quicker than she could see.
"She was too frightened to do more
than scream and fall to the ground.
when her daughter came running up
and quickly released her by merely
unwrapping the snake's tail. Strange
as this may seem, It Is a very easy
way to release a victim In the coach
whip snake's grasp, for while the rep
tile's constricting powers are abnor
mal a child may unwrap the coils by
beginning at the tall."
"Do you believe that snakes have
the power to charm animals?"
"Yes, there is a certain power to
fascinate in a snake's eyes and move
ments. I saw only the other day a
typical illustration of the power of a
snake to fascinate.
"Over in the pine woods I saw
ground squirrel fascinated by a black
gopher snake. The forked tongue dart
ed out of the snake's mouth almost as
regularly and rapidly as the needle of
a sewlnc machine rises and falls. The
squirrel seemed to watch it spellbound.
The snake crept slowly nearer.
"When the gopher snake was within
two or three inches from the squirrel
it gave a leap and threw three coils
about the squirrel. Instantly the spell
wa3 gone. The fascination or charm
there had been over the little animal
was no doubt broken the very moment
the serpent's coils were about the
squirrel, for the animal gave three con
vnlsive, terrified chirps and realized
that Its death moment had come.
"I believe implicitly that all snakes
have a certain degree of power to fas
clnate their victims to death. Black-
snakes, gopher snakes and racers have
the power to a large degree. Rattle
snakes have the most fascinatin
power among all the poisonous ser
pents in the Southwest- .
"The indications of charming among
poisonous snakes are deceiving some
times, roisonous snakes fang their
prey once only. The poison does not
kill at once.
"The victim flutters to a branch, it
may be. or runs a short distance an
stops. The snake watches it. The
poison does its deadly work, and the
bird falls.
. "Any one who comes up, not having
seen the attack, might be readily de
ceived Into Imagining that It was the
glance of the snake and not the poison
that caused the victim to fall."
FRUIT GROWING IN JAPAN.
Sweet Oranges, Persimmons and Figs
Raised in Abundance.
Japan is generally looked upon as a
land of flowers rather than of fruit, but
it has an abundance of both. It will
never he, perhaps, a great producer of
fruits for export, but the raising of
fruits throughout the country is becom
ing more and more of an industry, al
though there is only the home market.
Consul General Bellows, of Yokohama,
says. In a recent report, that fruit
growing has not hitherto been an iru
portant industry In Japan, and that
there have been very few farms on
which fruit formed the staple crop.
But the Japanese are now paying much
attention to fruit growing. What he
has to say about the fruits of Japan is
of Interest;
"Fruits originally cultivated, and
I prabably native to Japan, include the
orange, pear, peach, - sour plum, al
mond, grape, persimmon, loquat, pome
granate, ginko or salisbnria, and fig.
The 'mlkan, or Japanese sweet orange,
Is smaller, sweeter, and less juicy than
the oranges raised in America, and the
thin membrane separating the sections
of the fruit is tougher; it has a very
pleasant flavor, and is much used for
food by both natives and foreigners.
It is cultivated all through the warmer
regions of Japan, and is the most plen
tiful of the fruits raised here, being
found in the markets .from early au
tumn nntil late the following spring.
"The persimmon comes next to the
orange in the number produced, and '
is a favorite with the natives, but its
season Is comparatively short. It
closely resembles the persimmon of our
Southern States. The soar plum Is
extensively cultivated and yields a
good crop, but the other fruits named
above, though more or less widely
grown, are produced In much smaller
quantities the fig being most abund
ant and most valued of the less im
portant fruits. The government nas
Introduced peaches, pears, and grapes
from Europe and America, and has
found the soil and climate well adapted
to their production, so that these are
now cultivated in addition to the native
varieties' of the same fruits. Of the
fruits wholly unknown In Japan until
introduced from abroad, the apple has
proved most successful, and it has be
come a chief product of some districts
in the Hokkaido, or northern island.
The apples are of fine appearance and
excellent flavor, and the trees yield a
profit very encouraging to the cultiva
tor, so that the area of their produc
tion is being Increased. The natives
eat fruit chiefly fresh, and its use as
a table diet Is not general, although
increasing. The 'processes of drying
and canning fruits are beginning to
come into use, but only as a means
of Dreservins the fruit Tor home con
sumption, not for export" Japan and
America.
FIRST AUTOMOBILE OF ALL
Only a small percentage of those who
nowadays see automobiles speeamg
along the streets and boulevards are
aware that the first automobile, con
sidered in the sense of a vehicle con
taining within itself powers of locomo
tion, of which there is any authentic
account was a self-moving shrine of
Bacchus. This was the invention of
Heron, of Alexandria, who describes it
in his work on automatic mechanism.
The shrine In question was mounted
rupon two supporting and two driving
wheels. On the axle of the driving
wheels was a drum, about which was
wound a rope which passed upward
through the space on one side of the
shrine over pulleys and was fastened
to the ring of a ponderous lead weight,
which rested Upon a quantity of fane
dry sand. The escape of this sand
through a small hole in the middle of
the floor of the compartment containing
it allowed the lead weight gradually to
descend and by pulling upon the cord
caused the shrine to move slowly -ward
in a straight line. Heron describes
the method of arranging and propoi-
tioning the wheels In case it was de--sired
that the shrine move in a cir
cular path. He also shows how the
shrine can be constructed to move in a
straight line at right angles to each
other.
Officials of the patent office over
looked the device of Heron when they
granted patents on machines, notwith
standing that previously Thomas Eu
bank, Commissioner of Patents in 1S50,
illustrated and described Heron's Inven
tion. The mechanism of the latter is al
most identical with that in the mod
ern device; and simply serves as anoth
er proof of the saying, "There is noth
ing new under the sun."
THE ORIGIN OF GOLF.1
First Flayed with a Shepherd's Crook
and a Pebble.
The man or woman who has become
interested in golf must needs know
something of its origin over in Scot
land. In his book, "The Art of Golf,"
Sir W. G. Simpson tells the following
pretty story as to how the game had
its beginning:
"A shepherd tending his sheep would
often chance upon a round pebble, and,
having his crook In his hand, would
strike it away; for it is inevitable that
a man with a stick in his hand should
aim a blow at any loose object lying in
his path as that he should breathe.
Over pastures green this led to nothing;
but once on a time a certain shepherd,
feeding his sheep on a links, perhaps
that of St. Andrew's, rolled one of these
stones Into a rabbit scrape.
" 'Mary,' quoth he, 'I could not do
that If I tried,' a thought which nerved
him to the attempt. But a man cannot
long persevere alone In any arduous un
dertaking, so Mr. Shepherd hailed an
other, who was hard by, to witness his
endeavor. 'That Is easy,' said the
friend, and, trying, failed. They now
searched the grass for the roundest
stones, and, having deepened the rab
bit scrape so that the stones might not
jump out of It, they set themselves to
practice putting.
"The stronger but less skillful shep
herd, finding himself worsted at tne
amusement, protested that it was a
fairer test of skill to play for the hole
from a considerable distance. With
this arranged, the game was found to
be much more varied and Interesting.
The sheep having meanwhile strayed,
the shepherds had to go after them.
"This proving an exceedingly irksome
Interruption, they hit upon the In
genious device of nailing a circular
course of holes, which enabled them to
play and herd at the same time. These
holes being now many and far apart, It
became necessary to mark their where
abouts, which was easily done by
means of a tag of wool from a sheep
attached to a stick, a primitive kind of
flag still used on many greens, almost
in Its original form. Since these early
days the essentials of the game have al
tered but little."
After a woman has been going to a
doctor's two weeks, she begins to call
common things about the body such
long names that it gives yon a head
ache to keep up with her.
THE NEW WOMAN.
Mrs.
Mrs. Emma Mitchell, 520 Louisiana
street, Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
"For the past five years I have rare
ly been without rjain. but Pernna has

time. I think I bad taken only two
bottles before I began to recuperate very
quickly, and seven bottles made me
well. I do not have headache or back
ache any more, and have some interest
in life." Emma Mitchell.
The coming of what is known as the
"new woman" in our country is not
greeted by everyone as if ehe were a
great blessing. But there is another
new woman whom everybody is glad to
see. Every day some invalid woman
is exclaiming, "I have been made a

MISSOURI NOW LEADS.
Center of Apple Production Shifts Westward
from .Alleghanies,
The center of UdcIo Sam's apple bin
has been shifted weet of the Alleghan
ies, and the state that leads in the
growing of the national fruit is Mis
souri. This is the burden of a paper
read by Professor W. A. Taylor, pomol
ogist in charge of field investigation
in the United States department of
agriculture before the national conven
tion of apple shippers at Rochester,
N. Y. Professor Taylor completed his
paper some time ago, but just before
the time of reading it he received from
the census department advance sheets
of statistics bearing on the apple in
dustry of the United States, compiled
from statistics gathered for the Twelfth
census, the. matter being brought down
to Junnt 1900.
According to these figures the total
number of bearing trees in the United
States is 210,000,000, an increase of
75,000,000, or more than 40 per cent
over the apple aTea of 1890. The com
mercial area of 1900 yielded in 1890
somewhat more than 175,000,000
bushels of apples.
By districts, the north Atlantic
apple section has 39,500,000 trees; the
south Atlantic 25,500,000; the north
central, 92,000,000 the south central,
31,000,000, and the Western district,
including the Eocky mountain states
and the Pacific slope, 13,000,000.
Out of the total number of trees in
the country, the north and south cen
tral districts possess 23,205,000, or
nearly three-fifths. These are divided
among the leading states as follows:
Missouri, 20,000,000; New York, 15,-
000,000; Illinois, 13,500,000; Kansas
and Pennsylvania, a little less than
15,000,000 each.
Priceless Land in Texas.
Judging from a recent report of a
sale of oil lands at Beaumont, Texas,
real estate in that lively and progres
sive commonwealth is rising to a mar
ketable value. Ihe reports speak of a
parcel in the section named sold at a
rate of $i, 280, 000 an, acre. The same
land could have been bought, it is asid,
before the strike of oil, for $10 an acre.

The manager of the circus looked at
him with suspicion.

Barnum having one, either, and he had
a good show.' Where are they raised
anyway, I'd like to know?"
