Wonderful Obligingness on s Rural lloroe-1'ar Line. ''About the most accommodating street-car lino I ever struck," said a srentleman in the readinR-room of a big hotel the other evening to a Now York Tribune reporter, "is in a little hamlet in Oxford County, Me. The place Jocan't contain more than six hundred inhabitants, all told. But it has a fac titious importance in summer time, be sause tho Maine Chautauqua Union holds its annual assembly there. The rollintr stock of the lino consists of three open horso-cars in summer and a com fortable vehicle in winter. A unique feature of tho road is that it transports bagRnpro as well as passengers, charging x uniform faro of six cents for each piece, vvhotber 'human' or 'warious.' Of 30U1-8B it is needless to say that there is nono of tho mad hurry about thesocars that is so noticeable in a city street-car, whon you are half a block away and want to catch it. The conductor knows everybody and evorybody knows him. No yawning social chasm exists between passenger and official. Not only does the car stop in front of oach passenger's . ouso, hut if he happens to have any baggage the drivor loisuroly ties up his horses and assists tho conductor in car rying tho baggage into the house, and up into the attic if dosircd. "If a passenger discovers that he has forgotten any thing, the oar is immedi ately stopped to allow him to go back and got it. and if tho distance is great the conductor and driver will shift the horBcs and tho car will be drlvpn back to whoro the forgetful passenger lives. When business is dull the car stops, the conductor takes out a book and reads, while the horse browses on the roadside. Sometimes the conductor gots a little lonesome in slack times. On such occa sions ho invites a bevy of children to take a free ride, which they do with great willingness. "In winter there is no conductor for tho single vehicle. Tho driver sits insido close by a hot stove, the reins be ing passed through a little window. Very slow, you say? May be so, accord ing to city ideas. But the establish ment of the line was bitterly resented by tho village "Kip Van Winkles" as the entering wedge to all the follies and vices of the city; and they haven't be come reconciled to it yet. I tell you it is pleasant to get back once in awhile into such primitivo communities where life is placid and thought is sluggish, and movement and noise are not regarded as necessarily the surest road to happi ness. In my opinion tho tired and brain-fagged oity-resident would find in such places as this tho most thorough and complete rest. But you can't con vince people of it. They prefer the noisy and garish summer hotel, which is simply a little bit of the city tra' ported into the oountry, and oftent' not the most desirable bit either." , Now is the time to lubtoibe for the Semi- Weekly Gaiette. PAT IEE SXAKE'3 CHA&X. Ourloua Eiporimonta by a P&olflo Coast Naturalist Obarerratlona Which Throw 9om Doubt IpoD the Belief That Snake Bar tha Fowtr to Meemerlta Their Pray. Some twenty rears ago the naturalist Brehm procured a couple of able-bodied rattlesnakes and turned them loose in a well-lighted garret, where he could observe all their movements without betraying his presence. At first hia prisoners stuck to their lair in the recess of an open box, but on the morning ot the third day they began to show symp toms of appetite and the professor treated them to a breakfast of Uve blackbirds. About five minutes after the appearance of the newcomers one of the snakes left her headquarters and crawled across to the corner next to the front window, while her mate took post behind a water-pot, near the center of the room. The birds were too busy to notice them at all. There were three windows in the garret, and in spite of eonstant collisions the temptation to regard the attempt at escape in a light ward direction seemed too much to mind such inferior incidents as the ma neuvers of a crawling object on the floor. The front window with its large panes seemed to prove specially attrac tive, and,, the San Francisco Chronicle says, the ambushed snake had just con tracted her coils for the third time when the descent of a fluttering bird gave her a chance to bring matters to a crisis. "No need of charming in this case," thought the professor, when the strick en blackbird recoiled with a frightened squawk. But there was still need of patience. l'or nearly a minute the doomed bird fluttered about in an aim less way before the chemicals began to operate in earnest, aud he fell over on his side with half-opened wings. lie was too far gone even to keep on his legs, and only then the snuke crawled up to take possession of her prey, though she had all along watched her victim with glittering eyes. The anatomical examination of a rat tlcsnukc or a copperhead would explain that sequence of events. The fangs of a poisonous serpent are attached only by a flexible ligament and are not strong enough to hold a struggling animal, though they are extremely adapted for administering a snap bite. Now, the effect of the virus, even on very small creatures, is not absolutely instantaneous. The bite of our western rattlesnake will kill a squirrel in five minutes, a paisano or roadrunner in three or four minutes, and even a mouse or a young quail has time to run a few steps toward its hiding place and ap parently out of reach of the coilinf snake. There is no direct pursuit. The snake can afford to wait, wel. knowing that the delirium of the poison fever will drive the dying mouse out of his hole and the bird out of his retreat in the tangled briars. In the mean time, however, a semi-scientific witness of the tragedy may come along and as cribe the possibility of the finale to the strange glittering of the serpent's eyes, which all along have followed the move ments of her quarry. Prof. Brehm repeated the experiment with sparrows, gophers, common rats, weasels, quails, woodpeckers and meadow larks, and always with an an alogous result, except in the case of a woodpecker that made its way to the top of the window and died out of reach of the serpent. In every other case the victim at first made its escape, but waa captured in articulo mortis, after be traying its waning strength by all sorts of curious symptoms. Even the weasel gave up its attempt at retaliation after a short struggle, and in its last mo ments staggered out of its hiding place and finally directly toward the ap proaching enemy. HOW HE TESTED THE TRAIN. Do)m Pedro's Way of Trying a New Brake una us inventor. The. late Emneror Dora Pedro of Brazil, once gave audience to a young engineer who enme to show him a new aODliance for Stonnimr ratUvnT entr-lnna The emperor was pleased with the viiiiig unit sum: "We will put it at once to a practical test. The day after to-morrow have your engine ready; we will have it coupled to my saloon carriage, and then fire away. W hen going at full speed I will unexpectedly give the signal to stop, and then we will see how the ap paratus works." At the appointed time the emperor entered his carriage and the engineer mouted his enffine. and on they went for a considerable distance; indeed, the young engineer began to suspect that the emperor had fallen asleep, when the train suddenly came to a sharp curve round the edge of a cliff, on turn ing which the driver saw, to his horror, an immense bowlder lying on the rails. He had jest sufficient presence ol mind to turn the crank of his brake and pull up the engine within a couple of yards of the fatal block. Here the emperor put his head out of the window and asked what they were stopping for. The engineer pointed to the piece of rock, on seeing which Dom Pedro burst into a merry laugh. "Push the thing on one side!" he called out to the engineer, who had jumped down from the locomotive; and when the latter in his confusion, blind ly obeyed, and lacked the stone with his foot, it crumbled into dust It was uMivl: of starch that Dom Pedro had ordered to be placed on the rails the iii;.'hl bvfo-e.

The wife of a young attorney in Washington, a very charming woman, Loves her husband dearly, and the same may be said of his feelings for her. Still, he cannot help being annoyed oc casionally at her freaks. They hadn't been married a week before she began ' to develop anniversary tendencies. It was "five days and six hours," or "seven days and ten minutes," since they were married. That went fairly well dur ing the wedding Journey stage, says the Post, but it was kept up wonderful ly till she would say: "It is a year, one month, three days and four hours since we were married." These attacks of preciseness occurred whenever George showed symptoms of going to his club or whenever any of his friends called on him to go out with them. After a baby was born there came new anniver saries to celebrate. Baby's teeth, ba by's wails and baby's first lisps became important dates. All the old anniver saries were kept, however, just the same, and now the young husband stays home every night in the week to keep anniversaries. She has four to some days, and if she thinks he is restless and meditating an escape, when emer gencies arise and he is tempted to go to the theater with any of his old chums, that ingenious young wife can count up to many anniversaries that nobody tvould ever dare to suggest George going tny where. Indeed, it has come to such a pass that the boys ask George to go some where simply to hear him say: "I can't. I nust go home. We've been married ex actly three years, five months, three weeks and four days to-day. I've got to ieep the anniversary." .She gives Seorge just one night oif in a year, and thinks she does wonders when she does that, and George ought to offer thanks for the rest of the year that he had that Dne night. Then he goes to class re union, George does. LATEST TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE. The Phonophore A Combined Telegrraph and Telephone of Wonderful Power. ! It is difficult to convey to the lay mind an accurate comprehension of a process so exceedingly technical, says the Lon don Times, but it may chielly be said that Mr. Laugdon-Davics in the "phon ophone" utilizes not the electric current but the noises caused by induction. The signals are transmitted by a series of induced electric impulses, and the success of the system is found in the ability of the induction force to pass through insulations which electric cur rents cannot penetrate. A wire may be blown down and in contaet with the earth, yet so long as it is not broken it will carry a phonophoric message. By means of the phonophore mes sages can be transmitted with extraor dinary rapidity, and there is practically no limit to the number of telegrams that can be sent simultaneously upon the same wire. And, as we have hinted, Mr. Langdon-Davies' system is as use ful telephonically as it is telegraphical ly. A wire which is conveying electric signals can at the same time be used for telephonic conversation without either the message or the conversation suffering in the least. Three of the principal railway com panies have already adopted the phono phore; and it must be obvious, even to the unscientific mind, that phonophoric telegraphy and telephony, in so vastly mcreasing the electrician's power over she wires, have before them a very jreat future. The phonophore, indeed, increases almost to infinity the number of words than can be transmitted in a fiven time. ADVERTISING HIMSELF. A Painter's Queer Scheme for Increasing h-fc Trade. ' A satirical illustration of humanity'; tendency to be "pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw," comes from some of the late reminiscences of the poet Bossetti. One day he went with friend for a stroll through the poorer quarters of London, and was greatly attracted by a shop outside which stood a cage containing a curious round ball of spikes. "What is the price of that?" asked he. "Half a crown.' "Could you get me some more of them?" "Certainly." 'Well, let me have twenty to-morrow evening." The dealer, wh ose stock consisted of a few linnets, a chaffinch or two and four or five larks, looked aghast, and Kossettf s friend asked in surprise: "What on earth do you want with all those hedgehogs? "I'll put them in my garden," said the painter, "and when fellows come to see my pictures they'll pass through there. Look at this little round ball!" one of them will say. 'Why, it's alive! And here's another, and here's a third! Why, tlie garden is full of them!' And then they'll be in such good spirits at the discovery that they'll buy my pictures!' Youth's Companion. An Accommodating benttst. 11 01 oniy Daroers, Dut dentists as well, sometimes transgress the law in the matter of teeth-pulling. A case was recently brought to our attention, says the Troy Press, where a healthy young woman was affiicted with the toothache. She went to a dentist, not only to have the offending member re moved, but all of her teeth, so as to pre vent a recurrence of tlie pain, and get a false set As her teeth were in excel lent condition the dentist expostulated with her and refused to take the job. The foolish young woman, however, went to another dentist in good stand ing and he performed the work without a protest. If such a case were properly brought before the courts the greedy dentist could be convicted of malprac tice, and the dental association oi which he is a member would expel him in short order. A self-respecting den tist will not take advantage of the folly and Ignorance of a patron by extracting sound teeth. Such butchery is a far more nagrant offense against humanity and the dental profession tln the tooth-drawing performed by the van. turesome barber. These figures represent the number of bottles of Dr. Kintf'a New Dwoovery for Consumption, Oonghs and Colds, whioh were .old in the United State, from March, '91 to March, '93. Two million, two hundred and twenty-eight thousand, six hundred and seventy two bottles sold io one year, and each and every bottle was sold on a positive gnsrantee that money would be refunded if satisfactory results did nat follow its use.

To five some ideaof the extraordinary wealth ot men in this occupation and the way they obtain It, William Day mentionsin the Fortnightly Roview that Davis lost 40,000 to Mr. Bowes, the owner ot Daniel O'Eourke, in one bet, when that horse won tho Derby. While at dinner the evening after the raoe Mr. Bowes expressed some anxiety as to whether Davis would be able to meet his engagement, for he knew of others to whom ho had lost largely, and in faot Davis was said to have been hard hit. Mr. C. C. Greville being one of the guest at the table that evening and hearing the conversation, mentioned the circum stance to Davis tho next morning on the oourse, who immediately wrote Mr.. Bowes a check for the amount and gave it to him. This wealth was made, and tens of thousands of pounds more, by small sums received at the list in shil lings and half-crowns by a carpenter for this was once the daily occupation of Davis, the greatest better ever known. We had then as owners of race-horses the Dukes of Beaufort, Newcastle and Hamilton. . Lord Stamford and the in domitable Marquis of Hastings. Messrs, Saville, Chaplin, Stuart (now Lord Al ington), Sirs Frederick Johnstone and Hawley, all of whom knew how and when to bet. Lord Stamford lost over Hermit for tho Derby 70,000, and Lord Hastings did the same thing, but on Lecturer for the Cesarowitch the latter won 75,000. and he thourrht hot II triors winning or losing 10,000 on a raoe. If Lord George Ilcntinck could fairly be oalled the Napoleon of the Turf in 1839, Lord Hastings was deservedly entitled to the appellation in 1807, for he had no superior in the magnitude and value of u nun or inejprice bo o-ave for vear Langtii ot a Degree, The length of a degree of longitude al the equator is 69 Mo statute miles.
