"I wish to goodness," said the man from over Sinnemahoninfr way, that I could remember halt what my father used to tell about snakes. I really do. t An iniWri. I suDtose that if my father had been tellmg aDow. u , that lived anywhere else except on the 1,1 lina Sinnemahone spread i coum membered everything. ' But, Lord! It would take a man with nine memories, every one of 'em phenomenal, to re member even a little bit of what them Sinnemahoning snakes did, because they did so much. They were always doing something, and doing It well. I wish somebody would simply give me n inkling of what there is in that Sin nemahone atmosphere that makes things have so much more snap in them than 'things have anywhere else on top of earth. Even grasshop pers. Now, I know heaps of places where there is twenty times more grass than is on the Sinnemahone. As for that, Sinnemahone doesn't run particu larly to grass. We slash out a good many hoop poles, and we peel consider able of bark. We do a little in the maple sugar way, and our 'taters ain't few to the hill. But we don't brag on our grass. Then why should grass hoppers seem to like to se'ftle down with us so much, and get to be so over powering smart among us? I give it up. I don't know. But to prove to you that they do, I'll tell you some thing. I don't pretend to explain these things, mind you. I simply give you the facts. "You know, of course, that there ain't any better bait for trout along late in the season than grasshoppers. Our Sinnemahone grasshoppers know that well, and I want to tell you that it's a hard matter to run one down and catch him when you want to go fish ing. But I used to manage, by various slick bits of strategy, to get enough to fish with, but it was hard work, and so I was delighted one day, being over to the county seat, to see in a store an artificial grasshopper, with a hook concealed about it. The grasshopper was as natural as life, and I saw at once that there wasn't any use of my pitting myself any longer against our smart Sinnemahone grasshoppers to get bait, when I could use the artificial grasshopper to fool the trout with, and 1 bought it. It worked to a charm. I think the trout went for it better than they did for the real thing, for I have an idea that they knew how smart our Sianeniahono grasshoppers were, and were kind o' fraid of 'cm. I used that imitation grasshopper with great suc cess. . "I had a tame trout in a spring near my house. It had been in the spring a year. 1 1 was a big one. I had caught it one day on a Sinnemahone grass hopper, and us the hook hadn't hurt it much 1 put it in a pail of water and got it home alive and active. I put it in the spring and it lived and thrived. A funny thing was that the grasshopper I caught the trout with wasn't killed by the trout nor by the hook. Being C:.'iaK, I ioo'tL Ihu grassnopper oil the hook and tossed it on the ground. It moved away, but was minus one leg. Its eyes were just as bright as ever, though, and as I re member it now, it kind o' shook its head and looked volumes as it limped away, headod straight for my place. 1 don't know where that crippled grass hopper wintered, but when warm weather came next year I give you my word that grasshopper was the first I saw on my place. It was perched on a Baw horse in my back yard. I recog nized it at once, and l seemed to rec ognize me, for it shook its head and had a queer look in its eye as it limped on one leg along the saw horse, tum bled oil and stumped away, " 'As long as I've got a place,' said I, 'that grasshoppor has a claim on it, and anyone that hurts that grasshopper must settle with me!' , "Well, sir, that grasshopper hung around the place, and hobbled about In a melancholy sort of way, but al- , ways with that queer look in its eyes. Every time it met me it settled down v and shook its head, spit tobacco juice, as grasshoppers will, and stumped ou its way. I know now that that grass hopper had vengeance on its mind, and was only biding its time. . "This was the season I got the artificial grasspopper. I frequently , saw tho crippled real one sitting on the flat stone over the spring where : my pet trout was, glaring down at the trout and shaking its head in a start ling way. The grasshopper remem bered that this was the trout that had crippled it, and it went to the spring to glare at the trout and tshow its hate. I used to tremble for it, for my trout f just doted on grasshoppers, anil I was fearful lest this poor crippled ono might tumble in the spring and thus give up the rest of itself to the foe that had bereft it of its leg. "One day I had been fishing with my artificial grasshopper. 1 came in, took the leader oil my line, with the imita tion grasshopper on it, and laid it on the back stoop, being called away for something or other. When I went to get the leader ten or fifteen minutes later it wos gone. I looked around, but couldn't find it. Somo time after ward I started for tho spring to got a pail of water, and as I drew near 1 saw the crippled grasshopper dragging " itself up on the flat stone that covered, or half covered, the spring. I topped, and then saw that the grasbhopjH-r was dragging something up along ' with It 1 started when I saw that it , was my missing leader. My first iin- pulse was to go and recover my prop erty, but on second thought I didn't, ." "'This unfortunate grasshopper,1 I ; reasoned, 'has some purpose in view. Let us rco what it may be.' "I oou saw. Growing near the flat Btone over the spring was a currant bush. With great deliberation 1h cnppiea grassnopper toon one end of my leader in its mouth and hobbled round and round tb .ush, winding, as ; I could aee, tho loau'r about it. he artificial prnfishon!r bon hauled l,' v.l ... ...

Tho nrtiGcial grass hopper fell, and there was loader - .enough left to lot it just touch the There was a Hash and a eplash in the water, and the next in stant my pet trout was dashing wildly about in the spring, hooked on the deadly lure and played by the Umber currant bush. Oh! but it was a stroke of genius! The crippled grasshopper stood on the edge of a stone, looking over at tho vengeance it had wrought, glaring savagely .and gloating. I could eubiiy uave baved tue trout. . " 'But no!' I said. Tt is but retribu tive justice! Let it 6tand!' "In a short time the trout was dead. Tho crippled grasshopper hobbled oil of the stone and disappeared. I never saw it again. Will somebody give me an inkling of what there is in that Sinnemahone atmosphere that makes things have so much more snap in them there than things have anywhere else on top of earth? Even grasshoppers. Will some one simply give me an ink ling?" Not even the man in the red, blue, pink, yellow, green and purple mack inaw jacket seemed capable of utter ance, and the man from Sinnemahon ing way had to go without his inkling. "Oh, yes! Snakes!" said he, sud denly brought to himself. "Lord! I wish my father was here! But he isn't! lie couldn't be, very well. He left the banks of the Shinnemahone for the same of Jordan, some years since. My father was a fiddler, and if he is play ing the harp half as well as he played the fiddle, he isn't taking a back seat for anybody on the other shore, and I'll bet on it! And how he could tell about snakes! It's a shame the way I've forgot most of the things he used to tell me about 'em, but I remember one that may strike you as a tolerable fair showing as to what Sinnemahone snakes were able to do in the days of my father, binnemahone snakes are at the head of tho serpent race yet, ol course, but in those days they had the benefit of my father, and they simply shone. "The blowing adder was always a big favorite with my father. The blow ing adder, you know, is that interest ing snake that has the faculty of flat tening out its head to about four times its natural size, then puffing it up, and then blowing a small gale from its mouth for a few seconds. I never knew just what they gained by doing all this, but they do it, and that's enough. The blacksnake was another snake my father liked, but somehow they never liked him, but they feared him, and when he wanted to use 'em they knuckled right down and were used. "Once my father had a pet blowing adder and a blacksnake that he wanted to be a pet, but which had a feeling against being one, and just wouldn't. It didn't dare to rebel altogether, though, and learned the tricks my father taught it, and did them, but i U.'fl like a steer all tho time. The blowing adder, on the other hand, was fonder of the old man than a cat of her kittens, and never lost a chance to show it. One of the tricks my father taught the rebellious blacksnake was to take a match in its mouth, reach back and scratch the match on its scaly side, and then rise up on its tail and light father's pipe as he held it in his mouth. It was a neat trick, and used to please father next to knowing that the little jug with the corncob stopper in it wasn t empty. "Whenever father went to his cabin in the woods for a hunt he always took Johosaphat and Prudence with him for company. Jchosaphat was the black' snake and Prudence was the blowing adder. Once, while out ou one of these trips, father was taken sick with rheu inatisiu in his cabin, and lay on his bed of straw, unable to move hand or foot. Jchosaphat cheered up and got chipper at once, lie tumbled all over himself, father used to say, he felt so good. And he felt more than that, lie had murder in his heart. While father lay there helpless the wicked snake took a match in his mouth, glared like a fiend in father's face for a moment, struck the match on his side, just the way the old man had taught him, and then tlciiberatcly set fire to the straw on which my father lay helpless. With one more fiendish glare at my father Jchosaphat fled from the cabin. - "Imagine my father's feelings lying there unable to move, and that fire creeping slowly toward him! Ho saw no escape from a horrible death. But ho didn't know Prudence, the blowing adder. That loving snake woke from a nap in her corner, and soon saw tho awful danger my father was in. She dashed over to tho burning straw, flat tened out her head, and with one tre mendous pull blew out the blaze." "Sinnemahone!" exclaimed the man in the red, blue, pink, yellow, green and purple niackinaw jacket, "let me tell ye sumpin't That blowin' adder mowt a blowed out that blaze, but there ain't no blowin' adder, nor sweep in' gale, nor howlin' cyclone that kin over blow out the blaze you'll git into ono o' these days, an' when ye git there, jist remember that I told ye bo!" N. Y. Sun. A BOA'S ULEVtrt TRICK. Thfc Serptnt'i Silent Capture of an Cn. - snapecthiff Sparrow, A sight very seldom seen by any but professional naturalists was observed tho other day in a German zoological collection. Tho boa-constrictor is a non-poisonous snake,' and kills its prey by squeezing it to death. A young boa bad been kept in a cage over a week with three sparrows without taking any notice of the pres ence of . the birds, nor did the lattor manifest any fright of the rep tile. One day, says the Philadelphia Record, the snake appeared to watch the movements of the birds, then pick ing seeds oft the floor of the cage, and slowly began to unwind from the branch of the tree on which it spent most of the time. Almost impercep tibly tho loops on the tree disappeared, the body of the snake becoming more and more disengage!, but its head still remaining at considerable distance from the floor. All of a sudden the for ward part of the snake's body shot downward with lightning rapidity, grasping ono of the unsuspecting birds, not with the mouth, but with a rapid twist of the body, crushing it nt the same time until quite lifeless. This was done bo quickly ana noiselessly that the other birds never noticed the absence of the victim. The boa then re turned to the tree, above, and after a little preparation of further pressing the bird and covering it with mucus it proceeded to swallow its prey with out bitintr or ehewinsr. As the boas al- ways take their food at night or in the dark, this spectacle was thought very curious. . . ON A TOMBSTONE. A Human Fae Produced la a Mlracn Ion Manner. In the Oak Hill cemetery at Stony Brook, L. I., a large tombstone of mot tled Italian marble bears a remarkable portrait of an average-sized human face. The picture is not the work of a sculptor, nor has it been graven with the marble-cutter's chisel; it is a natu ral production, the outlines of the face being formed by a peculiar grouping of the clouded veins and dark spots char acteristic of first-class imported stone. The remarkable peculiarity of this par ticular stone has been known for two or three years, and throughout the length and breadth of Long Island it is referred to as "the miracle face." Standing near, as one would in reading an epitaph or inspecting the grain and polish of such a memorial shaft, the outlines of the face cannot be traced, but at a distance of from thirty-five to fifty feet it is as plain as though done with an artist's brush, the grouping of the spots, veins and waving lines com bining to make not only a fair resem blance to a face, but -a complete por trait, including hair, eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, chin, etc. Its outlines are clearest, of course, when the shadows and light play properly upon it, but at the distance mentioned, and in the proper direction, the portrait is plainly visible at all times. The face is on the back of the stone, and the eyes are so set as to appear to be looking down upon the grave of the person to whose memorv the --"Ctcd. A LUCKY. ACPI DENT. Why a Jackstone Maker Turned IIU At tention to PuMlel. As an example of how a remunerative specialty in hardware forced itself on a receptive and appreciative Yankee the following incident will be ol In terest: ' Among manufacturers, says the Iron Age, small castings are often put in re volving cylinders with pickers or stars made of cast iron, having usually six points, the extremes of which are about an inch apart. They are also familiw to toy dealers, who sell them to chil dren as "jackstones." The pickers, together with small castings, are put into the tumbling barrels so that any particles of sand adhering may be re moved and a better finish given the castings. A large and well-known New England concern, which, in addition to other lines, manufactures screw wrenches largely, formerly used a peculiarly shaped malleable iron fer rule with irregular openings at the two ends weighing about an ounce. Some of these ferrules chanced to be a part of the contents in one of the tum bling barrels. When the barrel was opened the at tendant noticed, what to him seemed almost incredible, that the picker with all its prongs was inside tho ferrule, the openings of which were compara tively small. The observant mechanic logically concluded that as it had got ten in it could be gotten out again. The phenomenon was brought to the attention of parties who decided to apply the idea in a puzzle, and the re sult has been that the original manu facturers are now making the two parts under contract in ton lots, while the first order is said to have netted, a profit to the promoters of seventeen hundred dollars. This is known on the' streets as the Trilby puzzle. fragments or a two-dollar treasury note were presented at the subtreasury for redemption lately by a resident in one of tho counties of Maryland, says the Baltimore Snn. "This waa struck by lightning," he said, as ho exhibited the two pieces of the note. The note had apparently been burned lengthwise through the middle leaving1 the top and bottom margins, Tho burned portion that was missing was from a half to oneand a naif inches wide. The edges of the remaining parts were charred. The man said his home in thecountry was recentlv struck by lig-ht- ning, that the note was in a cupboard at the tunc, and that the lightning en tcred the cupboard, burning the note as . described. The number and seal on the parts of tho note were legible and (ren- uine, and consequently the note was re deemed, .i The New Hook Spoon Free to All I read in the Uh istlan Standard thai Miss A. M.
