A Bids on the Wild Irishman.
Tlio wild Irishman Is tlio fast train
wliloh carries tho American malls from
London to Holyhead, cn route to Dub

froni Kuston to Chester at n speed of
forty.mllos or more an hour, and issu

Holyhead along tho picturesque Bhoro
of North Wales.
Many Americans travel bv it, as in
leaving or in joining tho" Atlantio
steamer at Queonstown they can savo
Bovcral hours by taking this route, but
It is usually night when thoy are borno

Yorkshiro bathe in a yellow mixture of
mud washed down from Lancashire
and Yorkshire bathe in a yellow mixt
ure of mud washed down from tho Deo
and tho Mersey. But presently we
cross a river which, flowing down from
between high hills, empties into the
sea within Bight of the train, at a point
where a massive headland juts outward
and reaching the farther side, wo are
borno under the shadow of a cliff-liko
wall. Wo look out and up, and there
are towers, battlements, and parapets.
These are bo high, and tho train is bo
closo to the base, that we have to al
most dislocate our neck in order to Bee
tho summit. It is a castle, not a cliff ;
but it spoms to grow out of the rock
upon whioh it stands, and when it was
built nature and art joined hands to
give it a double strength.
When Edward I. had conquered tho
Welsh he built three great caetles to
keep tho vanquished down, and though
dismantled and despoiled, ihey are
still very substantial examples of the
architecture of his time : ono is at Car
narvon, another at Beaumaris, and tho
third is this at Conway, the common
namo of tho river which wo have jjst
crossed, the castle, and tho little town
which lies under the castle, shut within
a harp-shaped wall which formerly had
twenty-four round towers.
A minuto or two after tho train
leaves Conway the mountains begin to
crowd down upon the Wild Irishman,
and threaten to shove tho lino into tho
sea. It is these that tho traveller
from America Bees from the deck of
tho ocean steamer as she passes up the
St. George's Channel to Liverpool.
They are a northern spur of the Snow
don range, and among tho huddled
masses rises one, a very Gibraltar of a
peak, higher than all the rest.
Once again we are m darkness, out
this time the reverberations aro not
thoso of a tunnel. The sounds are
hollow and metallic; wo aro crossing
the strait by the vast tubular bridgo
which Stephenson built between 184G
and 1850, and which put an end to the
frequent accidents that had previously
occured to passengers crossing by the
ferry. Tho Brittannia Bridge, as it is
called, consists of eight tubes resting
on threo towers, and it spans tho stream
at a height of 104 feet It is 1811 fet
long, and tho tubes aro said to contain
11,100 tons of iron. Some folio w
jiasseuger is suro to put us m possess
ion of these dimensions, but wo who
have seen tho Brooklyn bridge can
listen unmoved, and givo him in return
tho statistics of a much greater achieve
ment. Ono end of tho bridge that by
which wo enter is in Carnarvonshire,
and when we reach the oilier we aro
in tho island of Anglesoy, tho Mona of
early English history, and tho last ref
uge of the Druids, it is not a very
large island, only twonty miles from
north to south, and twenty-eight miles
from cast to west. Tho surfaco is roll
ing and (if such a word can bo employ
ed to describe anything in nature) oom
inonplace, but, except in tho straits,
the seaward edgo is a long lino of cliffs
of varying height, at whoso feet many
a ship has corao to grief. Thcro are
many Druidical remains on tho island,
cromlechs and other enigmatical masses
of stone which tho old hierarchy of the
woods has left unexplained, and it was
in Anglesey that Suetonius burned the
last of tho Druids in their own altar
tires.
A fow milts from Holyhead wo pass
within a Bhort distanco of Aberffraw,
tho scat of tho native princes of Wales,
and thus tho Wild Irishman completes
its courso, and lands us at tho gang
way of the channel steamer.
It is then that wo discover what an
empty, noiseless, Jittlo plnco Holyhead
is. It is tho nearest jioit to Irelaad,
and that is, and always has been, tho
reason of its existence. W. IL Hidk

Ono of tho Centre county stock of
Stovors has a novel way of making a
living, near Gallon, III. Ho has a
rhttlcsnako farm and hero is n descrip
tion of it uy a nowsnapor correspon
dent s
Your correspondent last Sunday
visited tho eelobrated snako farm
"rattlesnako forty1' near this village
owned and managed by Capt. Dan
Stover and wife, and assisted by Will
iam Dunn, agent at the Illinois Central
depot. It might bo surmised that tho
breeding nnd propagation of rattle
piuiKUH mm uiuur repines was not only
dangerous but an unpleasant occupa
tion. However, theso poor but honest
people havo loarncd that thcro is money
in snakes, nnd last year they cleared
almost enough from thoir sales to pay
tho oxnenscs of tho family of four.
"Who buy rattlesnakes, and what
on earth do they want with them T"
you ask. Why, for uso in the mantr
f acturo of the new euro for rheumatism.
A firm in Philadelphia uses tho oil in
its remedy and pays a good price for
overy rattlesnake delivered at tho
laboratory. Mr. Stover has contracted
with the firm to furnish them 250 of
that species during the present season
at $2.25 each, none to measure less
than lour feet in length, or to bo less
than six years of age. Tho older tho
snako the better anif stronger the oil.
Sunday tho sun shono out bright and
warm, which brought out tho snakes
in largo numbers to bask in the warm
rays, and as Mr. Stover said, would bo
n good day to take a stroll oyer "rattle
snako forty." Procuring a good stout
stick and donning n heavy pair of
boots, your correspondent joined Stov
er and Dunn in tho hunt. To show, us
how easy it is to kill a snake, ho pick
ed up a blue racer by tho tail, that was
lying coiled up in tho sunlight, in a
half comatoso condition, giving it a
couple of whirls, over, his bead in a
lightning manner ho cracked it like, a
whip, causing its hoad to part from its
body and spin through tho air. Pro
ceeding a little further, wo oame to
"tho mounds," littlo raised places on
the snako farm, whero the snakes bur
row in winter and breed in summer.
Thero aro thirty-seven of these
mounds on tho farm and on the south
sido of ono of tho largest of these,
whero thoy could get tho full benefit
of tho sun, lay coiled up sound asleep
forty-three largo .rattlesnakes, seven
black snakes and numerous other
smaller reptiles, not one of which seem
ed to recognize our presence. Stover
and Dunn ' do not kill off thq whole
crop yearly, but leave many for breed
ing purposes.
"Why," said tho former, "that mound
thero contains probably a dozen nests
of eggs and each nest at least ten eggs.
I havo found nests that contained, as
high as eighteen young rattlers, tho
largest not over two inches in length.
Their eggs are about the sizo of thoso
of a partridge, but have a soft shell.
Tho farm is a tract of virgin prairie,
and has never seen a plough, and Dan
says in summer, its native grass is very
high, rendering it an excellent place
for tho reptiles to hide in.1'
Mrs. Stover also had in a box of
sawdust under a cook Btovo twenty
seven rattlesnake eggs, whiob, she
said, would begin to hatch in a few
days, after whioh event tho children
would be kept busy catching flies to
feed tbo tiny pets.
Stover and Dunn havo several pet
rattlers around the house, which are as
harmless as kittens, made so, by their
poison sac having been removed from
tho roofs cf their m jnths and their
fangs clipped with pinchers, all this be
ing done while the snakes were nnder
the influence of chloroform. They
have no equal as mice exterminators,
and in tho summer keep the place, free
from bugs, flies and bad boys.
Scandals in Publio Print
Somo weeks ago a sensational news
paper in Williamsport printed a lot of
scandalous matter about people in, Belle
fente. The publishers of the paper
wero warned that the matter was un
true and libelous, and thoy persisted in
tbo circulation of tho paper, and oven
went to Bellefonto to protect their
nowsboys in the sale of it on the
streets of that town. As a matter of
course they were arrested, and pleading
guilty, within forty-eight hours one
was in jail under what was regarded
as a heavy sentence of imprisonment
and fine. Sentence in tho case of the
other was deferred owing to sickness
in his family.
This summary action of, the Court
at Bellefonte was regarded as a great
outrago by many people, in William
snort. The other newannnom nf tl.n
city, which are themselves reputable
aim aiwaya iree irom Boanaalous publi
cations, unite in denouncing the Court
and criticising tho railroad baste and
tho severity with which punishment
wan umiuu'u. i eiuions lor the pardon
of tho publishers have been mmnataA
not only in that part of the State, but
in Philadelphia and elsewhere, and the
greatest interest is shown nn f lift nqpl

a sensation.
Unfortunately, while, nil tliin ; in
progress Williamsport itself becomes
tho victim of a sensational ad scan
dalous publication in Elmira. The
character of a young girl in tho higl:
school has been anonymously attacked,
and in such way as to involve tho rep'
illation of tho entire Bchool. It has
naturally and justly aroused the indig
unliou of tho whole city, and if tho
writer of tho disputable articles in the
Elmira paper can bo identified it will
probably go-as hard with him lii the
Williamsport Court as it did with tho
Williamsport publishers in tho Bello
fonto Court. Certainly no ono in that
oitv doubts that thero slmnM I

should a boy spend bo much time in

TIIF MOST IMPOKTANT VACTOIt IN TUB EX
PORT TRADE OF THE KINGDOM.
Tho forests of Sweden, according to
tho Government statistics (1884), cover
an "area of seventy thousand squaro
miles. At least a third of theso vast
forests are situated in some of the ex
treme northern provinces. From these
provinces alone, over fifty millions ot
cubio feet of sawn and, hewn timber,
chiefly fir and spruce, wero oxported;
whilst the exports from one province
alone amounted to a fifth of tbo, whole
country, and eight per cent, of the
total exports of all kinds. It is aslo
stated that the total wood exports, in
cluding all kinds of manufactured
goods, was forty-threo and a half per
cent, of the value of all exports. Fur
ther on aro given somo interesting
statistics of the aggregate value of the
exports of the various kinds of wood
goods, namely, deals and boards, four
million one hundred thousand pounds;
balks and spars, three hundred and
eighty thousand pounds; beams and
masts, two hundred and sixty thous
and pounds; pit-props, ono hundred
and fifty thousand, pounds; manufac
tured goods, flooring, door and win
dow frames, moldings, two hundred
thousand pounds, wood pulp, sixty-five
thousand pounds. Besides all this,
stone is exported for building purposes
amounting to sevonty thousand pounds,
and even bricks, five thousand pounds.
This latter is an unexpected item, as
most countries are ready enough to
make their own bricks. An immense
order was lately given in Paris for
seventy thousand meters of Swedish
pino deals, in stated lengths, for the
purposes of wooden pavements. The
cost will be much less than if tbo wood
was procured in France,, as no agents
are employed savo one, an engineer,
who has been sent to. Sweden with full
powers to select and purchase. Cham

An Indian Fakir
Talking of "sleeping men," I -was
one day on my way to Dholpurn, near
Agra, aud when halting to rest our
horse heard casually of a "Jogi" of
somo local celebrity ,wbo was in a
ne'ghboring tope of mango trees. I
walked over to. the sacred shade, and
there,, standing upright against a pillar
ot .rough masonry, was a fakir. Like
all these saintly personages, he was ex
tremely ditty. His hair, worked up
into rope ends with grease and dust,
hung nearly to, his waist; his body,
stark naked, was painted with a gray
pigment; but, to exaggerate the stele
ton idea, the ribs, chest, bones and
ankles were "picked out1' in yellow
oc'ire. Ono eye was wide open; over
tho other drooped' a paralyzed eyelid.
Tho mouth was tvide open, and out of
a corner were sprouting soveral blades
of com. His hands wero clinched and
hig nails, I was told, wero growing
through the palms of his hands. Ho

quoting what was said in tho "tranco"'
in whioh I saw him for two months.
In spito of all that I have read and
heard about theso ecstatic Jogis, I ven
tured to be sceptical. But I offered an
oblation of copper coins at the holy
man's shrine, round which, in pious as
semblage, stood a quantity of other
offerings in kind "littlo dues of wheat
and oil." Ho may havo boon an im
postor, but it struck me as a very

War on the Cigarette-
Thero is a promise of lively times
ahead at tho University of Pennsyl
vania, where Dr. J. William . White,
Professor of Physioal Education, has
declared war on the cigarette. Sever
al years ago the Faculty of the Univer
sity issued a proclamation forbidding
the.ttsc of tobacco by students, within
the college grounds, and notices con
taining tho decision of tho Faculty
were placarded about the buildings
and grounds. To rule in a very short
time became a dead letter, being neith
er enforced by the Professors nor ob
served by the students, who lately have
been so inconsiderato as to light their
perennial cigarettes in tho vestibule
of the college building and smoke them
in the gymnasiums. Professor White,
who deprecates tho smoking of cigar
ettes, has determined to banish the
offensive habit from the gymnasium at
any cost. Ho will be sustained in bin
warfare on tho weed by the wholo
faculty, who on thoir part will see that
tho rule is observed in and about tlio
college generally. A struggle is ex
pected, as tho habit of smoking cigar
ettes has taken bo strong a bold on tho
majority of tho students that a rebell
ion against the law will not surprise
tho dons. Professor White intimates
that, tho war will bo to tho knife, and
ho intends that it shall end in the rout
of tho obnoxious cigarette. Philadel

Dear Sir: It is now one year since I
wrote you your medicine had cured mo of
deafness. I am satisHcd the cure iu my
case is permanent, but waited this length
of time to fully, test it. My deafness was
one of many years, with no apparent
cause, and tor the past six or seven years
I, was completely deaf. During all that
time the various noises iu my ears were
enough to craze me. The change at first
was slow, but the noises gradually ceased.
During the fourth mouth I began to hear
sounds I had not beard for years, and
thereafter a continual increase of hearing
from week to week, until I could hear or
dinary tono of conversation. At the end
of bIx months I considered I was com
pletely cured. Can now hear us well as
any one of my friends. I need not tell you
how delighted I am, am' it is with the
deepest gratitude 1 now write ot this fact.
1 most earnestly wish 1 could make you
known to all persons ailllctcd with deaf,
ocas. Wherever 1 do see ono I tell them
of you, the good you can do, and havo
done for me. I send you this statement
with permission to publish it, if by so do
ing it can b" the means of doing gopd to
others who may he so unfortunate.
