A Tigress Spares a l>og. During Captain White's travels in Cochin China the then Viceroy gave him a magnificent tigress live feet long ami three feet high. On reaching Saigon, where he found ilogs dirt cheap, he used to give his pet one of these animals every clay. Tho dog was thrown alive into hiT cage. She would play with it awhile as a eat plays with a mouse, then her eyes would begin to glisten and her tail to quiver; slie seized her prev by the neck and in a minute or two it was all up with poor "bow-wow." One day, however, a puppy, seem ingly in 110 way different from the common herd of puppies, instead of tamely submitting to his fate, showed fight. It snapped at the tigress's nose and bit it till the blood came. The tigress, far from resenting the attack, seemed to treat it as a joke, and when the spirited little dog grew tired of the fun the tigress patted it as if it had been a cub of her own. Then the two lay down and had a comfortable nap. Thenceforth they were tin; best of friends, and to humor this queer friendship Captain White had a small hole cut in the tigress's cage, that the puppy might go and come as it pleased. It often took a trot abroad, but it always returned to its clog-de vouring friend. To test the extent of the tigress's affection a strange dog was offered to it ono day at dinner time, and was then hastily snatched from its hungry jaws and tho puppy friend thrown into the; cage. But friendship tri umphed over the pangs of hunger— and not on this occasion only, but whenever the Captain's crew thought lit to repeat the experiment. —St. Louis Republic.

DB. WTETH SATS THE RATTLER IS A NOBLE ANIMAL. Popular Misinformation—Harm lest* Reptiles With Kail Reputations— Oegrees of Venom. WHEN every oue knows as much about snakes as Dr. John A. Wyeth there will not be such a general dread of them, particularly of rattle snakes. "The rattlesnake," said the Doctor to a Sun reporter who asked him to tell something about snakes, and assured him, in answer to the Doctor's question, that it was snakes ont of boots, not in them, he was after, "the rattlesnake is the king of reptiles. He is as brave as he is powerful, never attacks without provocation, and then never without a warning. I should never kill one unless I wanted it to dissect or unless," and here it was the father, not the scientist, who spoke, "I found oue near where my children happened to be playing." The Doctor's opinion of the rattle snake is based entirely upon his ob servations of its personal courage and fairness in battle; he does not seek to deprive it of any of its reputation as a particularly venomous serpent. Its venom is the most poisonous of any American reptile, and is second only, so far as is known, to the cobra. The order of "toxicity" in serpent venom —that is, the comparative deadli ness—is cobra, rattlesnake, Ameri can copperhead, moccasin, and spreading adder. The chemists have been experimenting with the venom of rattlesnakes until they are able to talk about it like an expert witness in a poison murder trial. Dr. Wyeth, in the second edition of his work on surgery, in considering the subject poison, quotes Dr. Weir Mitchell as saying that rattlesnake venom is from greenish to a straw tint in color, and there have been chemi cally isolated from it three proteids— venom peptone, venom globuline and venom albumen. It is the globuline that is intensely poisonous, and its toxic properties are destroyed by bromine, iodine, sodinm and potas sium permanganate. If you do not happen to have any of these in your ve&t pocket. Dr. Wyeth gives the equal weight of his authority in pronouncing whisky (or alcohol in some other form) as the best physiological antidote. Dr. Wyeth is an Alabamian auil lived in his native State for many years when, as he says, snakes were very plentiful. "There it was,"he saiil to the Snu reporter, "that I learned to know and respect the many virtues of the rattle snake. 1 also observed many physi cal traits of that and other snakes which disprove many popular beliefs concerning them. The belief seems quite general, for example, that the rattlesnake coils itself in preparing to spring. Now the facts happen to be that it neither coils before delivering a blow nor springs, so that it leaves the ground entirely, in its delivery. "When a rattler has made up its mind that it is time to strike it raises the forward half of its body, the pos terior half, or about that proportion, remaining on the ground, sometimes in a loop. The forward part is drawn back upon this fixed portion in the shape of a letter S. The stroke is made by a quick straightening out of the forward half in a straight line, but the part of the body on the ground remains in one spot, as does the rear foot of an expert boxer as he straightens out his body and arm to deliver a blow. The rattler can re peat that blow with surprising rapidity. If you hold a stick at a distance where the snake can strike it the poison is emitted. It has a peculiar sweetish and quite unpleasant odor. "I saw au account, recently in a sci entific paper, written by a scientist, ot 'Suicide of Rattlesnakes.' I very much doubt both the inteution and the pos sibility. It is a well established sci entific fact that serpent venom pro duces no poisonous effect in the tis sues of the reptile which produces it, or in the tissues of any venom-pro ducing reptile. That snakes do bite themselves sometimes I know from ob servation, for I have seen them do so when striking ut a *tick with which they have been pinioned. It is possi ble too, that they may bite themselves when enraged from any other cause, ; but I doubt the suicidal intent." Dr. Wyeth is inclined to dis count much of the belief in the dead | 1 iness of reptile poisoning. "The venom of the scorpion in the , Orient does sometimes produce i death," he says, "but the stint; of the I North American scorpion is not dan geroits. I have tailed to hear of a single death from scorpion bite, al though I have made (terminal inquiry of nuniorotts physician- practicing in the South and West. Once in North Carolina I was out surveying, and in steadying myself while fixing an in xtruiueut I placed tnv hand on adecav ing stump of a tree, and wan bitten on the palm bv a scorpion, which cluug to my hand when I raised it. I tahook I oil the reptile, expressed the wound, aud Slicked It. too, I believe. No lu convenience, whatever, resulted from | the wound. "The tarantula is also considered 1 very poisonous.

It is 122 feet in height and forty-five feet in circumference at the base. An Old Idol. A letter in the Philadelphia Times describes a curious old idol recently discovered on the banks of the Sabine Hiver in Texas. The image was nearly four feet high aud was of a three headed man, with the scales of a tur tle covering the entire body. The idol is hollow and contained the skele ton of a young child placed in it in an upright position, the head fitting into that of the god. Whether the child was thus sacrificed to the god or the iiuag? merely used as a repository of the dead body cannot be decided. The carving ou the idol shows a degree of skill uncommon auioug the Indians as existing now or as found here by the early settlers, aud as the banks of this vicinity were evidently erected by a people antedatiug these, it is probable that the image was of their religion also. It is of stone, aud is composeil of four or rive pieces neatly cemented together with a substance not recog nized by any mason who has seen it. The union of the several stones em ployed in it is so cuuningly done that only a clo.se examination reveals it at all.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. The Young Orator Squelched. Senator Voorhees often entertains his friends with reminiscences of his early law practice, says the Household, when he was struggling laboriously to make a reputation and to get on in the world. He was employed at one time in the defense of a murderer. It was a desperate case. The evidence of the crime was direct and positive. His client's reputation was bad, and there seemed to be no extenuating circum stances. The young lawyer's only available resource was oratory in sum ming up the case. He threw himself into his work with characteristic ardor. The Kentucky court room audience was profoundly affected by his elo quence. The jury in the box were overcome with emotion, and sevi la 1 members of the panel were wij in » their eyes suspiciously when the orato • took his seat. The prosecuting attorney was an old man, gruff in manner, and with a shrill, piping voice. He had listened to the appeal of young Voorhees without a sign of sensibility. Ho had not, how ever, overlooked the effect which had been produced upon the susceptible jury. He rose slowly from his seat anil took a pinch of snuff with great deliberation. He looked at the bench and then glanced sharply in the direc tion of the jury. Then he remarked with a strong nasal twang : "Gentlemen of the jury, you might as well understand from the very be ginning that I am not boring for water !" There was an instant's pause, and then the audience was convulsed with merriment. A single dry sentence from the shrewd old prosecutor sufficed to overwhelm with ridicule the eloquent pleadings of his ambitious opponent, who had 110 case, yet had nearly suc ceeded by his eloquence and pathos in securing the acquittal of the prisoner. Then, taking a second pinch of snuff, and paying no further attention to the argument for the defense, the prose cutor summed up the evidence in a plain, business-like way, and compelled tile jury, by sheer force of reason aud common sense, to convict the mur derer.

It is only reasonable to suppose that the ability to sustain this enor mous pressure can only bo acquired by animals after generations of grad ual migrations from shallow waters. Those forms that are brought up by the dredge from the depths of the ocean are usually killed and distorted by the enormous and rapid diminu tion of pressure in their journey to the surface, and it is extremely prob able that shallow water forms would be similarly killed and crushed out of shape were they suddenly plunged into very deep water. The fish that live at these enormous depths are, in consequence of the enormous pres sure, liable to a curious form of acci dent.
