A VERITABLE MARVEL.
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.

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

faa tTlre Develops Anniversary Tonden.
cle and Keep Husband at Home.
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!'

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

btvmou. Sum. Won ami I.oat on th.
Kace-Courses ot Knglanrt.
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
