The Island ol Birds, for such it has been conjectured is the meaning of the word "Foula," is net so frequently visited by the tourists as It deserves to be. Situated at a distance of fifteen miles from the nearest point of the mainland of Shetland, its cloud-like form, which soems to float on the hor izon, is visible from every hill-top of j any importance in the archipelago. The eye of tiio observer of the pictur esque, as it glides along the distant prospocL is caught by the fine, bold peaks of Foula. and returns again and again from the general survey to gaze fondly on that island as the finest feat ure of the scene. Nor is it only at a distance that it looks grand. The cliffs on the west side, which aro beaten by waves which have rolled without a check all the way from Greenland, are tho loftiest in tho British Isles. The highest hill is the Snuek. which has an altitude of thirteen hun dred feet above the sea. Another leak, almost as high, confronts the ocean as a stupendous precipice from summit to banc These crags are thi? homes of innumerable sea fowl, the norie 6ca parrot and kitty wake being most abundant. On tho east vide the rocks are comparatively low, but not uninteresting. On the north side there aro some remarkable stacks, or iso lated rocks, one of them being pierced Vy a lofty Gothic archway and another turmouuted by a ruin. The hollow center cf tho island affords poaL and the grassy slojies at the back of the cliffs affords good pasturage for cattle end bhoep and a number of handsome ponies. The population numbers two hundred iuul ecveuty, and with tho ex ception of three families is engaged in crofting and fishing. The Foulest are masters of many trades. They make their own turning-lathes and spinning wheels. Some can repair clocks and watches; . all can make and cobble bhoes. A few are weavers and tailors, is well as dyers. Every man is a mason. The women clip, and. I am afraid, sometimes roo or pluck the sheep. They spin the wool and knit excellent stax-kings and sailors" frocks or jerseys. I beiievo if a Foula man woro to b placed naked on a dc-s-ertcoasL with nothing in his posses sion but a cla.-p knife, ho would not only contrive K find food for his sup port, but in a-short time would, by his unaided efforts, bo provided with clothes, with u house, having a clock on tho wall, .nd with a boat and fish ing tackle. Whon they go to sea they nwvor use lhe language that is cm ployed on shore, but a jargon sacred to tho occasion. A woman they call cloven fowde" or "hemelte." A par- son is an tiw-tander," and tho church is a "1one Louse," and so ou. To use a li'.r.d word in a boat is certain to frighft'ii aw-a3- the fish. A copper voin is naiu-d on every keel to prevent the "brigcty"' (which is the Dan ish name for the basking shark) from sucking tho boat to tho bottom. A worsted thread having nine knots on it is tied around a joint whea it is sprained. Sick cows are cured by drawing a torn cat by the tail ovr tbeir backs. If a minister or a parson with flat feet crosses the path of the man going out fishing, no fish win be goL To accidentally wot the foaot when stepping into the boat is a favorable sign. A cat should never bt mentioned when a man is baiting his line. A rusty nail from a coffin will cure tho toothache if used as a toothpick, and a sip of water from an old knerpan is a sovereign remedy for some disorders. To catch a hali but for bait the fishermen put nine pieces f peat into a kettle above the llr before proceeding to sea. A hen should.be set when the tide is flowing. andan--gg must be placed among the seed corn before it is sown. When a sheep is being slaughtered indoors no woman should pass between it and the fire. Stacks should be built and the ground dug according to the apparent course of the sun. Boats always tako a turn sunward before going to sea. London Wurld. Orig'u. of the Name " Iowa." The State derives its name from the tribe known now as tho Iowa tribe. Much learning, or at least research. Las been wasted in the attempt to show the orthography and definition of this word among the Indians themselves. While Washington Irving, with the license al lowable to an imaginative writer, states that the meaning of the word is "boautifuL" and recounts the incident by which that phrase was first applied to the country, saying that the tribe who, in their wanderings, arrived at the highest oint in the Iowa prairies, looking over the vast eocpanse of country uninterrupted by hills or swamps, involuntarily uttered the word "Iowa." meaning beauti ful." Bat probably a better authority for the meaning of the word was Mr. Antoine LeClaire, a half-breed of the "Sac" and "Fox" nations, who al ways asserted-hutnorously that he was i he first white man born In Iowa, though his mother was an Indian. Ho was employed for many years by the United States as an interpreter in their dealings with the varioas Indian tribes. .Hi definition of the word was: "Here is tha spot this is the place to dwell in peece." It is very certain, howev er, that the name of tho State, and the name of one of its secondary riv ers.. running through a large part of the center of the State, is derived from the name of the tribe.

Proof Positive That It Haa the Power to Charm. Touch Imt True Instance nf the Hateful Jnflueiire or Ita i'.ya Hons Ier and ltat tho Only Creatures It 1 i-iii-H. .a "Do 1 believe r-attlesnaKos are able to charm birds and animals?" said a naturalist of local reputation. "That is a question that has been asked from time out of mind, and answered both negatively aud affirmatively. Judging from my observations and experiments I am prepared to say positively that I j do believe the rattlesnake can chsirm or mostnorizij or paralyze, or whatever is tho most correct term for tho condi tion it brings upon its subjects, and that it can not only charm birds and animals, but that there is not u man living w ho can loug withstand thetur rible fascination of the i at tlesn;i ko's eye if ho cares to test his ability by gazing into the eye when the roptito is excited and angrv, using a strong c,lass in making tho tesL "Any person who is familiar with tlie eyes of this deadly reptile ouj.rht not to doubt tliat the sei puiit possesses tho power that so many naturalists dony. Even the eye of a dead rattlesnake, no luatter how long tho snake may have been dead, has a terribly malignant expression, and onu that will make tho most indifferent observer turn cold. When the reptile is alive and quivering with excitement, his brill iant length coiled like a painted spiral, the flat, vicious head rai.sod and curvod above the folds, and the far-sounding rattle vibrating as rapid ly as a humming bird's wing, there is nothing in all nature so dreadful in its appearance as the eye that glitters aud glares above all this deadly beauty", am'. 1 tun satislied that it is not only enouga to strike birds and animals, but men, with irresistible, horrible nightmare, from which they are unable to arouse themselves until soma disturbing force breaks tho malignant spell. 1 would like to see the man who can look upon the eye of an a-ngored rat tlesnake through a strong glass, one that will draw the reptile apparently as close as a foot or so to the observer, and retain his gaze more than a min ute without feeling himself irresist ibly fascinated by tho terror of it, an indescribable disinclination to with draw his gae in epite of the fueling of horror the awful eye inspires. I have tried the experiment a score of times. I am as strong iu nerve as the next man, and have been u.-cd to hand ling and studiing reptiles of all kinds all my life, but 1 have never yet leon able to overcome thj influence of tho rattlesnake's eye. I have seen many instances of this influence on birds and animals. 1 re mcinlier once 1 was fishing in tho Juniata river and my attention was at tracted by the strange actions of a robin that fluttered and poised over a spot near tho lop of a stoae wall, which protected the tow-path of tho canal tliat runs parallel with the river for somo miles. I approached tho sjxit cautiously until I go.t within fivo feet of the bird, which paid no atten tion whatever to my presence, but con tinued to frantically flutter within two feet of the wall. Glancing up I dis covered tho cause of the bird's strang actions. Coiled in a hole that had been made by the falling-out of a good sized stono from near the top of tho crude masonry and directly opposite the frantic robin, lay a rattlesnake, his deadly head upraised. Lis eyes glaring, and his red tongue darting in aud out of his mouth like little jets of flame. Tho robin was unmistakably under tho in fluence of the rattlesnake's mesmeric eye. It made frequent efforts to fly away up and down the stream, but it never got more than two foot either way. The snake turned its head whichever way tho poor bird moved, and held it poworless with its awful gaze. Although I drew up so close that I could have touched the snake, it apparently did not tiotiro me, so ab sorbeol was it in fascinating the robin. I watched the proceeding for a minute and then drew my revolver and shot tho snake's head off. Tho robin flut tered a few seconds longer, and then flew in a daod way and alighted ou the wall not more than six feet below where I stood. It remained there for at least a minute, with its wings raised an inch or so, as you have seen birds on hot summer days. Then it seemed to recover itself and flow away. There could bo no mistaking the fact that this was a genuine case of rattlesnake charming. "Another time 1 was walking through tho woods whon I saw a chip munk sitting on a low stump, every muscle drawn to its greatest tension, and tho little animal gazing 6teadily ahead, its eyes fixed and staring. I walked on. The chipmunk did not move. I followed its staring gaze, and saw a rattlesnake, coiled as they always coiL and its eyes glittering like little coal3 of fire. I had my gun, aau q.'iickly put ai a& to tho scr- pc.nt's furt'.. or jiiesm;rie exerci to. T strange part of tho incideut was tliat tho chipmunk fell from tho stump dead at tho r.-po.-t of tho gun. 1 thought that some stray shot might have struck it, although such n thing was highly improbable. 1 u.xinnitie-f the little animal thoroughly. TIhtu was not a mark upon it. So strongly was tlie cliipmuuk under tho influvnc! of the snake, as 1 positively believe, that iL very existence hud liecoxue merged with that of tho rattlesnake's. When tho snake was killed tho chi;) tnurik'a life was simultaneously cuduJ. "A person can not Isa a close iV 6orvor of rattlesnakes long before he will discover a good many curious things about thorn. I have found out that there arc Bt least throe living things that a ratthsiiake is in mortal f iir tf. and they aro bats, hogs ami doer. I discovered the lear a ratUe snako has of bats by putting one iu tho catro cf a vory fierce rattler I once hud. 1 thought he would go crazy whon tho bat dropped down ly Lis i.ido. Ho fjot in th furthest coimr of the cafre and coiled himself up auo actually hid his head. 1 he bat flitted about in tho eago, which was u very roomy one, now and then bkimtuiug the folds of the make, who would only sound his rattles tlie louder ana draw himself closer down in tho comer. hi-u I lis'jod the but out the euako slowly unwound hini.-oif and cuiua out of hiding. 1 tried tho ex peri Lieut several times, not only on that snake but on others, and always with the sam.i result.
