Strange Affection or a Soak.
The Iter. Goran. Nail, cow a resi
dent of David county, North Carolina,
and soma twenty years ago missionary
in Africa, tells a strange story of a ser
pen L Shortly before tearing Africa he
rent into his house one morning, and,
stepping into the kitchen, he was hor
rified at finding his little child fondling
on the floor with a young serpent. The
twa were caressing each other like lov
ers. There seemed to be no harm in it,
and be kept the serpent in bis family
and it soon became domesticated.- It
rew rapidly, and to-day it is thirty
feet In length, and has the power to
crush an ox, or, prhaps, an elephant.
Since it was taktn into the family it
has never shown a savage disposition in
an? way. In 1S70 the Iter. Dr. Nail
returned to this country with his fam
ily, and brought the large serpent with
him. The boa has been fed on milk,
gruel and rabbits, but it does not have
the ravenous appetite that appearances
would suggest. As it grew older it be
came more domesticated, end to-cay it
Is the slave and pet of the child who has
grown to be a woman. A peculiar In
stance o! Its derotion is told. A few
years ago Its mistress had been away
from home oa a three weeks' visit
When she returned to the house the ser
pent recognized her at once, and crawl
lag to her shoulders, ho rested his ugly
head or her back. She had bard work
to dislodge,lt and It seemed that he fear
ed that she would leave the house again
X.ast year Miss Nail was married, one
of the stipulations of the union being
that she should not be separated from
her hugh pet.
Change of Seed.
The prevalent belief among farmers
that a change of seed is beneficial, and
tbtt the best Beed is brought from
cooler climate has been proved by tests
mad at the Canadian experimental
farm at Attama. The vitality of ger
ruinating ability of wheat brougnt from
Manitoba was found to be ninety-six
per cent., of barley ninety-seven per
cent., and of oats ninety-five per cent.,
against ninety-two, seventy-three, sixtj
five per cent., respectively of Beed pro
cured iatheeasteru provinces of Cana
da. This fact has a most important
significance in regard to the choice of
seed. The average yield of oats in the
Southern Spates is 20 to 25 bushels per
acre of grain weighing 24 to 23 pounds
per bushel, and this low yield U due in
a great measure to the use of seed of
this inferior character. Where oats im
potted from Soot'and and weighing
51 pounds per bushel have been
sown In a southern State the yield was
over 00 bushels per acre measured, and
the grain was nearly as plump and
heavv as the seed used. The same will
apply no doubt to the Southern wheat,
of which the average yield is no moie
than seven bushtl per acre. Much th
same occurs in the Northern and West
ern States, and indeed, everywhere that
that seed is used front the crops grown
in the locality and without selection.
A change of seed produces more vigor
ous and productive crops and the grain
neces3aiily possesses superior vitality.
The careful selection of seed is of the
greatest importance, and Is a matter for
present consideration and action.
A Pet Alligator.
Two little daughters of Mrs. George
blen, of Long view, Texas, have a
fi little pet alligator, about four feet
igth, whose nam ia Jim. Jim
Si his little mistresses, recognizes
ahaiK-. when called, and submits or
v.Z "Imlted amount of Dettinsr.
t'nv"ia, enjoys the scratching of
tatttcuUt t , ,
bAa Wv , ed' BU,Tr.Singlv, 8em' 0
Mnftfve to the scratching through
histv4ak Bkin. A dog excites his an
ger, an5!Vwhen one intrudes upon bis
gatorahphe issues forth a musky
odor that Is fi&agreeable to any v.eli
tegulated human olfactories. Jim's
wicter diet, so far as the family can
notice, consists of mud, and whenever
the weather is mild the 'gator is per
mitted to wallow in its mudhole. whencn
it comes back puffed until it looks like
an alderman, or a prarie pony afitr
drinking and ending a two day's thirst.
The little girls Bometlmes dress Jim up
as a doll, and the reptile has qciie sup
planted pet clucking raccoons and
squirrels in the affection of the girls,
owing, it is supposed, to its odd ugli
ness. A German doctor has lately teen
making investigations as to the reU
tive sizs of men and women's hearts,
lie announces that the masculine
heart weighs more and is larger
than that possss&ed by the fair sex.
A heart, it would appear, grows
most quickly during the first and sec
ond years of life and between the
second and seventh years It doubles
ir. size. Until after the flrtleth birth
'ay the heart sti.'i grows a little. In
i hildhood the mala and female heart
tre the s inon size, but after maubood
tie masculine heart develops much
:iore tban the female and ends by being
two square inches larger than the latter.
Mic Mad Him.
"The happiest moment of a man's
.fe," be said tenderly, "is when he
inowj he has woo a girl's heart.'
"Is it ?" she shyly asked.
"Yes," he replied ; "now tell rue
?hat Is the happiest moment In a wo
: lan's life.
She bluihed and hung her head.
"Tell me," he whispered.
"You won't think me too bold ?"
'Certainly Dot."
"When she's asked to name the day."

Bad Prayers. .
I do not like to bear him pray
On bended knee about ao boar,
For grace to send arlebt tbe day,
Who knows bis neighbor bas no floor.
I'd ratber see bim go to mlU
And boy tbe lacktass brother bread,
And see bis children eat tbair fill
And laugh beneath tbelr bumble sbed.
I do not like to bear him pray,
liet blessings on tbe widow be,"
Who nerer seeks her borne, to say,
"If want o'ertake you, come to me."
I bate tbe prayers so loud and Ions;
. That's offered for the orphan's weal.
By him who eees him crnsed by wrong
And only with bis Hps doth feeL
I do not like to bear ber pray.
With jeweled ear and silken dress.
Whose washerwoman tolls all day.
And then Is asked to work for lesi.
Such pious shavers I despise ;
With folded bands and faee demure.
Tbey lift to heaven tbelr "angel eyes,"
And steal tbe earnings of the poor.
I do not like such soulless prayers ;
If wrong, I bope to be forgiven.
No sngel wing them upward bears ;
They're lost a million miles from beaven.
Lost Her Tongue but not Her Speech.
A despatch to tbe Cincinnati Enquirer
from Button, says : "A woman fifty-
six years old recently bad an operation
performed at the Massachusetts General
Hospital by which she was deprived of
ber tongue. Fifteen years aeo she
touched ber tongue with lye and burned
tbe upper side of It. Soon afterward
she noticed a thick, white coatinsr.
which remained until a year ago, when
it disappeared, leaviog a smooth, red
scar. A rew months later an ulcer be
gan to form. The ulcer aoon presented
a deep cavity, which was about an Ibcq
in diameter, tn the middle of the tongue.
Up to this time she felt no ' pain, but
now she snffered considerably, not only
in ber toDge, but her jaws and ears. A
fine saw was place! around ber torgue
as far back as possible and drawn tight
by means of a thumb screw. This saw
was made to tighten gradually until It
cut completely through the tongue.
Tbe remarkable thing about tbe case is
that there was do bleeding whatever.
After recovering from tbe ether she
swallowed milk easily. At the end of
two weeks ehe could make herself easily
understood, snd bas Improved so
much in ber speech thai she is now
able to act aa one of a committee of
ladles at a fair."
A Wonderful IXarjIand Hen.
Mrs. Catharine Logue is the posses
sor of an erratic ben whose vagaries are
ths talk of tbe neighborhood. The ben
began laying eggs during Holy Week,
all of which were marked in some pecu
liar way, such as snail shells, snakes,
and on separate occasions the letters,
C. and G. On Good Friday the egg
was marked with a correct representa
tion of a Iamb in rcspose, and Mrs.
Logue guarded it carefully uotil recent
ly, when her son, in showing it, acci
dentally dropped the treasure and it
was broken. Almost every egg is
marked with something familiar. The
other Jay the tgg was a perfect repre
sentation of a brawny arm and should
er. After Easter she laid an egg with a
perfect limb of a woman upon it, which
had all the artistic contour of sculptur
ed marble and a foot as dainty as a
fairy.a. It ven bad tbe extent of hos
iery and the garter ruaik about. This
ben will riot lay ber eggs anywhere but
or. the kitchen lounge, and if she is In
the yard abe will peck at the window
until admitted.
A Queer Habitation.
Oae of th queerest residences among
tbe many oddities of the modern taste
can be found on the Great Kanawha
river in West Virginia, not more than
fiva or six miles above the confluence of
that stieam with the Ohio. The resi
dence referred to is a monster sycamore
tree. This tree is now hollow from its
center to within a few incbts of its out
er surface. So large is the opeu space
that a family consisting of two men. a
woman and two children have taken up
their abode within its recesses. Tbey
live, eat and sleep in it, and to all ap
pearances are as happy as many owners
of brownstone fronts in PitUburg.
Yes, we are pretty well satisfied with
our quarters," one of tbe men replied'in
answer to a query. Tbe landlord never
threatens us with a writ of ejectment
because we don't pay the rent ; we never
have any repairs to make ; the boose
never needs paiating ; the tax gatherer
never bothers us, and then we never
bare tbe bother of moving. Taken al
together, we think we're better off tban
a great many people."
A Crare Girl.
Miss Greeno, a sixteen-year-old girl
is tbe hereoine of the hour iu a town
near Tower City, Dak. She entered a
burning dwelling and, seizing two in-
fanu, who were sleeping alone in one of
tbe upper stories, attempted to reach the
street via the stairway. As the latter
was partly ablaze, she went down about
half way. then tossed tbe children
through and beyond tbe names. When
It was seen they were safe, she made a
leap through tbe fire and was saved also,
though considerably burned.
Am Eastern Senator tells this story
about bis little girl. lie says that
when tbe family bad gathered for
dinner little Elsie was too busy with
ber playthings to suspend, and ber
mother called to her to come.
"Yes. in a minute," was the response.
'But we are all wailing," said my
wife, "and your papa is waiting to ask
tbe blessing."
She came in, climbed into ber chair,
folded ber littls hands demurely, bowed
her bead and said in a low voice ; "Let
h?r gc, Gallaher I"
Answer Thia Question.

Some Things Worth Knowing.
; If clothes are absolutely dry before
tbey are folded and laid away tbey will
not mildew. -
If your coal fire is low, throw on a
teaspoonfo! of salt, and it will help it
very much. '
In warm weather put your eggs in
cold water some time before you are
ready to use them.
Lemons may ba kept fresh a long time
in a jar of water changing tbe water
every morning.
A true test for eggs is to drop tbem
in water, and if the large end comes up
tbey are not fresh.
Hams wrapped in think brown paper
and packed in a barrel of wood ashes in
the cellar will keep alt summer.
To test nutmegs prick them with a
pin and if they are good tbe oil will in
stantly spread around tbe puncture.
Bar soap when first bought should be
cut in square pieces and put in a dry
place. It lasts better after shrinking.
AH fish skin should be washed, dried
thoroughly, cut in email bits and put
in a box or paper bag, to U3e in settling
coffee.
New Orleans or other good brown su
gar is best for raised fruit or wedding
cakes. It should be coarse grained and
clean.
You can get a bottle or barrel of oil
off any carpet or woolen stuff by apply
ing dry buckwheat plentifully and faith
fully. Never put water to such a grease
spot. .
Beer having a tendency to be tough
can be made every palatable by stewing

To Be Killed Without Pain.
Hanging is called a barbarous method
of capital punishment, and the electric
shock is to be substituted in Xew York
as a humane and civilized method. The
object to be attained is to remove as far
as possible all cognizance of tbe connec
tion between the judicial band that
slays and tbe immediate cause of death
to tbe condemned. In the use of elec
tricity no one will see the bolt that
strikes the life out of the subject, and
thus the hands of the executioner do
notappearto.be tbe direct cause of
death. Death, moreover, will be
painlees, and no harrowing details of
the death struggle will be presented to
the public mind.
As far as tbe actual absence of pain
after the execution is concerned, it is
probable that not even death by elec
tricity is any less painful than death by
the guillotine. The revolting eights of
blood and muscular twitching, however,
are all removed by tbe use ef electric
ity, which kills every spark of energy in
every part of the humane body, the bolt
traveling swifter than thought or pain.
Chocolate and Cocoa.
There is not much difference between
chocolate and cocoa. They are both
made from tbe seeds of a tree that
grows in Central and South America
and tbe West Indies. Humboldt first
made tbe tree known to Europeans.
It is an evergreen and bears flowers and
tbe fruit is a long pod containing 20 to
30 beans in a rose colored sweet pulp.
Twice a year, in Juno and December,
tbe fruit is gathered, and the beans are
separated and dried in tbe sun. Tbe
manufacturer roasts these beans about
as coffee is roasted, and tbey go through
several processes of crushing, grindiug,
etc., to remove tbe acrid oils and the
grit, and finally the finely pulverized
mass is mixed witbsugar, if any kind of
sweet chocolate is to be made. Cocoa
is the name given to the bean in its na
tive country, and also to the powdered
forms of it in the market.
A Hotel Uenlus.
The night clerk at Everett's West
Side Hotel bas a noyel scheme to pre
vent impecunious customers from get
ting away without paying their score.
At the same time be combiues business
with pleasure and thereby gets more
sleep tban any other night clerk in tbe
town. Every morning at 1 o'clock be
strews the floor in front of bis desk with
parlor matches and then drops off to
sleep? If a customer attempts to pass
the sleeping clerk wilbont paying his
check his feet encounter the matches,
and tbey Immediately set up a fusillade
that arouses the sleeping clerk and en
ables him to capture the man who eats
and runs away.

Crops for an Orchard.
As a rule, an orchard should nut. b
cropped, but if it is in vigorous tvni
tion and making much wood, it may be
a benefit to it to be cropped oci-asioiisl-ly.
The best crops are those that are
cultivated, potatoes beinu the lest ;
peas, beans and clover are des'ra'Jie,
but grain crops are not. Care is not
taken not to break the surface roo's by
deep plowing near the trtes, by wliii'h
the growth of suckers is encouraged.
When an orchard is not thiifty manur
ing and plowing and seeding with clov
er, leaving the clover to fall on tbe
ground, are very beneficial.
