Hell, tho author of Tnng weora." wrltlug of -his adventures among tho gentle savages ot Central America, cites a curious adventure with n suako. Itock-snakes, from ten to twclvo feet long, nnd as thick as a man's arm, aro not- uncommon In tho wood of Central America. This suako I not poisonous, but Is sometimes very snvago. As wo wero returning from our work lu tho pltpan ono evening, snys Mr. Hell, wo saw a largo suako of this pe ek's colled on a branch of a tree nbout ten feet above the water. I told tho Indians to puddle under It so that I might kill It with n polo. They said I had better leave It alone, -us It might nltack us; but I persisted, and they let mo lmvo my way. I passed forward to tho bow, and with tny polo struck at the pnakc, which uncoiled Itself, raised Its bead, aud waved It from sldo to side, dartlug out Its tongue. Tho cunoo had drifted directly under neath when I struck the next blow, nnd tho snnko dropped Instantly Into tho bow of tho boat. I throw away my polo nud hastily dodging past the men, got to tho stern. Tho man In tho bow struck nt tho reptile, but missed nnd fell overboard. Tho suako raised Its head and caina cautiously at tho next man, who without delay Jumped over board. So did all tho rest, and as I saw tho serpent meant business, I fol lowed them. When I camo to tho surfaco I heard roars ot laughter from tho men swim ming about. To lmvo possession of tho canoo did not satisfy his snakcshlp, for ho followed up Into the water, upon which wo all dived. On coming up again I heard a yell BQUm AT NA'XOIUSZ, SHOWING COTTON AT M01IIM2. from ono of the men, who on rlalng to tho surfaco had lined tho snako on til shoulder, Ho dived quickly, Tho reptile swam toward tho shore and wo got Into our canoe again, My annko killing desire wero somewhat damp ened.

' What IlrUk Competition Did In a Small Vermont Town. Competition has Its uses, no doubt, but when It reaches the point where It prompts ono to resort to trickery It ceases to bo a benefit. A man who spends his summers In northern Ver mont was a witness during his last va cation to a rivalry which was as ab surd as It was unnecessary. Thero aro two taverns In the little towu where I "tny, bo says, aud they got along In pence and amity until u local nowspnper was started, and began to publish lists of tho guests at tho two bouses. Ono of tho landlords found that his list fell n little short of tho other, and began to send tho name of those who Htnycd nt his hotel even for a slnglo meal. Tho other, who was off tho main road, and had fewer transients but more reg' ular boarders, was unhappy for several weeks; but after a whllo his list began to swell lu tho most surprising way. I saw It lu tho little paper, but I could not account for the Increaso. At Inst I discovered that he had put a large drlnklug-trough In front of his ho tel, with a sldo faucet and drinking' cups; nnd hnuglng by a chain was a lit tle book with a pencil attached. Travelers generally stop nt th trough, and It Is seldom that some ono of a party docs not express curiosity nbout tho book. When It Is opened the names of other travelers are dis covered, aud tho chances aro that the pencil Is used again. And In the next lssuo of tho local paper appears a long list of names under the heading, "Thoso who hnvo stopped at tho Spofxord Inn during tho Inst week aro ," and no body cuu dlsputo It Fish Flour. One ot Norwny's chief Industries la represented by the fisheries, and quan tities of llsh ore sold at very low rates, particularly during summer. Ono way In which theso ore utilized is by means ot an Invention which quickly dries and pulverizes tho flesh ot fresh llsh. Tho resulting product, called flsh flour, Is easy to transport from on place to another and has great nutri tlvo value.

KheisiMlisiii The liniment bottle and flannel strip ore familiar objects in nearly p-fcry household. They are the weapons lh?i have been used for generation.) to fight old Rheumatism, and are about as effective in the battle with this giant disease as the blunderbuss of our forefathers would be in modern warfare. Rheumatism is caused hv nn acid, sour condition of the blood. It is filled with acrid, irritating matter that settles in the joints, muscles and nerves, and liniments and oils nor nothing else applied externally can dislodge these gritty, corroding particles. They were deposited there by the blood and can be reached only through the blood. Rubbing with liniments sometimes relieve temporarily the aches and pains, but these are only symptoms which are liable to return with every change of the weather; the real disease lies deeper, the blood and system are infected. Rheumatism cannot be radically and permanently cured until the blood has been purified, and no remedy does this so thoroughly and promptly as S. S. S. It neutralizes the acids and sends a stream exhilarating tonic. Our physicians will advise, without charge, all who write about their cose, and we will send free our special book on Rheumatism and its treatment. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta.
