PLEASANT GAP.
What is home without a box of
carpet tacks?
A new concrete walk now adorns
the front of the M. E. parsonage.
George Magargle and family were
week-end visitors in Williamsport.
Lem Brooks and wife are visiting

George A. Wise and family, of Ty-
rone, spent the week-end at the home
of J. A. Armstrong.
Jonas E. Wagner, wife and two
sons, of Harrisburg, spent the week-
end at T. E. Jodons.
Mr. and Mrs. Crumlish and son
“Billy” motored to Pittsburgh, their
former home, on Thursday.
The indications are that Pleasant
Gap will be well represented the
coming court week, since several trials
are listed from here.
Our stores are all taking half holi-
days, Thursday afternoon. They
claim the new departure has become
a fixed fact here as well as elsewhere.
New improvements to the home of
Abner Noll are being vigorously
pushed forward. In another week the
change will be agreeably perceptible.
Rev. Rishel, M. E. minister of the
Pleasant Gap charge, held communion
services on sunday last, at Pleasant
Gap at 10.30 a. m.; Weaver, 2.30 p. m.,
and at Axe Mann, 7.30 p. m.
John Mulfinger, our efficient assis-
tant post master, thinks it strange
that all other business industries can
have half-holidays barring the post-
office. To him it looks like discrim-
ination.
Mrs. Jack Noll is making one of her
semi-annual visits to Woodlawn,
Beaver county. She will be absent
for a week among her numerous
friends in that flourishing iron indus-
trial growing town.
Miss Nllie Baney was hit by a car
on her way home from church, Sun-
day evening. She was somewhat
bruised, but not serious. The driver
was exonerated from all blame. To
assure safety we need electric lights
and improved sidewalks.
Rev W, J. Wagner, our Lutheran
minister, preached one of his inter-
esting sermons at the Lutheran
church on Sunday evening. From a
literary point of view, and as samples
of unstudied eloquence, his sermons
are incomparably superior to what
we usually hear rendered in the
country districts.
Our esteemed old friend, Christian
Hoffer, passed away on Sunday last.
Christ, as he was familiarly known,
was a good, all-round citizen. He
made his home for the past 14 years
with the family of W. H. Noll Jr,
and was well and favorably known by
every man, woman and child at the
S20 who are sincerely mourning his
eath.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Walker, of
Bellefonte, dropped in to see Mrs.
Harry Atcherson, who has been ill
for the past ten or fifteen days. The
visit was highly appreciated by the
Atcherson as well as numerous
others of our vicinity. Glad to note
that Mrs. Atcherson is recuperating
nicely. Good people are always wel-
come in our hospitable village.
Happy are they, who, with wisdom
from above, are instructed how to live
so as to secure partial happiness here
in this life, and full and perfect joy in
the life which is to come. It is reli-
gion alone that can soothe the storms
and trials of life, and remind us of a
perpteual summer where the bright
sun never retires behind a cloud,
where pleasures will last evermore,
and every tear shall be wiped away.
It should be held in everlasting re-
membrance that intemperance is a
most fatal and destructive vice. The
temptations and delusions of this ad-
versary of our peace, the treacherous
arts by which it flatters us from the
path of rectitude, and the syren by
which it lures us into its foul embrace,
surpasses all power of description.
Before the danger is discovered, es-
cape is almost hopeless, and the wili-
ing victim in the fatal current is lost.
Better steer clear and avoid destruc-
ion.
The office of nurse to the sick is a
very important one, and quite as re-
sponsible as that of the physician.
The routine, and less important part,
so to speak, of the duties of the nurse
may be performed by a person of the
most moderate degree of intelligence;
but the office of nurse means, or
should mean, much more than that. It
should embrace a comprehensive and
practical knowledge of hygiene or the
laws of health; or in other words, a
knowledge of the importance of clean-
liness; of the required amount of
warmth, of ventilation, of pure air, of
light, of the proper kind of food, and
to know when to give it, and of many
other minor matters. By common
consent and nature, this kind and im-
portant office falls to the lot of wom-
an. It is usually believed that any
woman, if she is not already a nurse,
may easily become such. However,
this is a great error. Women, as a
rule make better nurses than men.
They are better fitted by nature for
the office than men are; and it is also
true, that with proper instruction,
most women may become good nurses.

Many thousands insist that all
snakes are dangerous to man, in spite
of the findings of science. In the
United States there are three distinct
species, and only seventeen poisonous.
It is said, too, in further condemna-
tion, that snakes are even traitorous
to their young. Contrary to this im-
pression, the female python is an ex-
ceptionally attentive mother, wrap-
ping herself around the eggs and re-
fusing to move for ninety days, or un-
til the hatching occurs. Another mis-
conception is that snakes eat their
young. Probably this belief came
from the discovery of the unborn
young, for while some snakes lay eggs
and hatch out their babies, others give
birth to live youngsters.
One of the most common misstate-
ments about snakes is that they can
fascinate a prospective victim. Men
who have made a life-long study of
snakes say that there is no foundation
for this belief. A bird may act
strangely when confronted by a rep-
tile, for it is sometimes slightly be-
Dmhed by fear, but it is not “charm-
e i .
Snakes do have peculiar eyes. There
are no lids and the eyes are always
open. A sleeping serpent may be
awakened by seeing a sudden move-
ment. A snake’s eye is covered with a
transparent cap, which is shed at each
casting of the skin, and under this
glassy cap the eye is capable of con-
siderable movement. ]
Snakes are not only short-sighted,
but the hearing, in most cases, is not
good. The boa, it is claimed, is quite
deaf. The king cobra, of India, is the
only serpent that can play the blood-
hound. He can put his nose to the
ground and trail a native hour after
hour—and the Hindu, believing this
serpent sacred, feels that he should be
a willing victim! Instinct sometimes
seems to take the place of special
senses in snakes. They have an un-
erring ability to locate water, and in
the dry seasons will go to it over in-
credible distances. Just how this is
done no scientist has yet explained.
One mystery about snakes, over
which many people have puzzled, is
how they breathe during the long per-
iods taken to swallow their bulky
food. The explanation is that Nature
so placed the windpipe that its upper
end can be thrust out below the
tongue while the swallowing muscles
are at work.
A snake’s ability to swallow huge
objects has been exaggerated. All
those tales about horses and cows be-
ing swallowed, even by giant pythons,
are merely stories. Carl Hagenbeck,
who knows snakes from A to Z, says
that one of his pythons once swallow-
ed a 94-pound goat, and that he
knows of nothing larger having “gone
that way.” A good big meal, we will
agree, but remember that a snake
doesn’t eat often. They go for weeks
or months without food, and I have
heard of .one fast extending over a
period of eighteen months.
Snakes do not have to wriggle. They
travel on the broad plates of the ab-
domen, the sharp overlapping edges
of which give a good purchase. In
crawling slowly a snake really walks
upon these plates by bringing them
forward in series along the body, then
pulling them back again. Working in
this way, according to Professor Dit-
mars, a snake may progress in a per-
fectly straight line.—By Eu-
banks, in Our Dumb Animals.
