the snake that swallowed its young, nr1
greatest of all, that vivified hair from a
horse's tail, wriggling and gyrating in
the roadside mud puddle, the horsehair
snake.
But science has stepped in and solemn
ly and seriously said that these are all'
myths. It is a shattering of idols, hut I
fear that to science must be granted all
it denies about them, except as to inn Ices
wallowing their young. I have been an
open mouthed and wide eyed witnesw of
that interesting trick too often to let
even profound scientists stand up and
declare that it isn't so.
I hold out a little, too, for the horse
hair snake, for I have in my mind a cer
tain vagrant horsehair that I once put in
an oyster keg filled with rainwater, and
either that horsehair in the course of a
few weeks took on the semblance of life
and form of a horsehair snake and kept
it up all season in a bottle to which 1
transferred it, or else it disappeared, and
the germ of what we supposed was a
horsehair snake happened to lie in the
water and developed thore. I have al
ways insisted that I made a horsehair
snake. I have heard many veracious
persons declare that they have done the
same thing,
"But you are all wrong," says Nich
olas Pike, the naturalist. "The horso'i:tir
snake, or hairworm, is the Gorliua
aquations, and it is common in most
fresh water ponds and rivulets. Though
no larger around than a coarse cottnn
thread, they have two mouths, one on
each side of the head. They lay scores
and sometimes thousands of eggs. The
eggs are deposited in strings, like a
chain, on the sides of shallow ponds or
creekB, and they are greedily swallowed
by various aquatio insects. Then from
the time the egg is hatched the first part
of the worm's nutriment is spent as a
parasite, absorbing nutriment from the
body of its unlucky host. The largo
water beetles are subject to these para
sites. They have been found in a crick
et They are graceful swimmers, bnt
when taken from the water they twist
themselves into such an intricate knot
that it is almost impossible to unloose
it They are called Gordius from this,
the Oordian knot
"I have no doubt that one reason why
the idea of the horsehair snake has been
propagated is from ignorant persons
who have had various inseots in clear
water watching them for study or curi
osity. Knowing that thoy put in only
certain live creatures, and some day
finding these live worms, they were as
tonished. The chances are that the
worms were developed from a pot beetle
that in its native pond made a feast on
some ova of the Gordius, to be paid
dearly for later when these batched."
But there was no pet beetle or any
other insect in my keg of rainwater.
The horsehair went away, and the snake
or worm appeared. I don't believe the
horsehair ever swallowed any Gordius
ova, I can't imagine any reason why a
horsehair should turn into a snake or
worm when kept in the water, bnt why
not n horse's hair as well as a cow's hnir
or a deer's hnir? Science hnd bettnr not
toll any of the few old settlers of worth
orn Pennsylvania or any other locality
wbero the pioneers were fi-cuontIy their
own tanners (that cow's hair and -deer's
hair will not turn into worms nndr cer
tain conditions or science will get a
black eye. In the pioneer days, when a
settler wanted leather for boots or shoes,
it was not an uncommon thing for him
to make a vat by hollowing out pine
log, and using wood ashes instead of lime
in removing the hair. When the hide
was taken out of the vat it wonld be
placed in a crwk to soak out the alkali.
1 have more than once heard the sons
of such pioneers tell of finding carious
worms swimming about these hides
where they were lying in quiet pools.
These worms were aliout twe inches
long, somewhat thicker than .cow's
hair, and always in various stages of de
velopment from the hair as it esme off
the hide, some being for a part of their
length simrity hair, while the vest was
the living worm, white and set iitrans
parent. Borne would be still fast to the
hide, but wiggling to get loose, when
they -would swim about with a hair for a
tail. These worms were never seen ex
cept in the pools with the hides, either
cow or deer. The more I think of these
well Authenticated cow hnir woruns the
more I am inclined to defy scleitne and
hold nt for (the horsehair worm. New

Every summer the question about how
to deal with mosquitoes or mosquito
bites is presented by tunny correspond
ents. Perhaps the fallowing counsel on
the subject fromn Massachusetts paper
may be useful:
The best antidote for the bite of a
mosquito undoubtedly is ammonia weak
ened with a little water or salt and wa
ter. Some people go so fur as to press
the poison out of the bite with some
small metal instrument like the point of
a watch key before Applying the anti
dote. This prevents the painful swell
ing that sometimes occurs. As in othei
cases, "one man's meat is another man',
poison," and th same remedy will not
apply to oil individuals. Some find cam
phor most eflienctons, and salt and wa
Ler will not avail. Ammonia, however,
aeeins to be generally successful as a
neutralizer of the mosquito poison.
Where there are large quantities of the
mosquitoes and no reason for their ap
pearance is apparent it is well to look
about the premises for something which
attracts them. An uncovered barrel ol
rainwater will bring them in hordes,
and damp places and stagnant pools are
pots where they delight to congregate.
Cholern In Meeea.
Not often in the holy but unclean city
of Mecca has the cholera been more de
structive than it is this year. The deaths
from it, as stated in such reports as can
be procured, range from 500 to 700 a day,
without taking account of the mortality
along the ways leading to the city. The
cases must be numbered by the thou
sand. We suppose that a large propor
tion of the victims must be pilgrims, for
the settled population of the place is but
little over 40,000. The number of pil
grims this year, especially from India
and Persia, has been inordinately large.
The ordinary sanitary laws are disre
garded in Mecca as in other cities of the
Mohammedan world. Anything like
scientific treatment of the cholera is un
known. The fatalistic believers regard
a visitation of it as the decree of Allah.
They are willing that it shall bring them
death, if they but dio within view of the
holy city or on the way thereto, as para
dise is assured them. The cholera was
in Mecca lost year. It is almost ns con
stant there as it is in the delta of ths
Ganges. It ofton rages fiercely there
without approaching any part of Eu
rope. New York Sun.
Profits on t.lttle Keek Clams.
Despite the prevailing depression in
many lines of business, one industry in
this section employs a large number of
hands and is running overtime. It is
that of gathering the delicious bivalves
about the size of a silver dollar known
as Little Neck clBms. The catch in this
vicinity avorages nearly 100 barrels
week, for which wholesale dealers in
New York pay $8 to $10 a barrel.
There are usually about 8,500 clamz
in a barrel, but sometimes when they
are running unusually small there may
be 6,000. When a New Yorker enters a
"swell" restaurant and pays 40 cents for
seven or eight of those little bivalves, it
can readily be seen that a barrel con
taining 8,500. nnd costing about $10, will
yield the proprietor something like 200.
There is a market for Little Nocks all
the year round, but it is difficult to
catch them during the winter months.

NEW GREEN GOOD3 METHODS.
Dimmed In feminine Attire, tho Hwlmller
Litres Ills Vlr.tlniH.
Accompanied by Police: C'otixtiihle Irv
ing and a friend, a g'Oitli'timn whoso ac
cent afforded indisptitublo evidence I lint
heisofGermnn extawtion walked into
the detective office last night and there
related a most remarkable exfifimro
which, he stated, had befallen him. His
name Is Frank Hohlbein, he is the rep-
renentatlve of a tan linrk company, liud
in the register of tlie Red Lion hotel lie
ha given his addreos as Dashwood, Out.
His business has taken him all over tins
country and the adjoining reemblie, and
he has only recently returned from the
outhern state.
His story to the detectives is to the
ffect that on Saturday evening, having
nothing to do, he paid a visit to the
xnusee on Yonge street When the per
formance was over, he came out to the
street and was bout to return to his
hotel when he noticed a very plump,
rather handsome young lady, who ap
pears to have had power enough to
charm him away from his origir.ul in
tention to go home. Neither seems to
have objected to the other's company,
and, to make a long story short, the twe
trolled away up the street arm In arm.
Hohlbein is a stranger in the city, hits no
knowledge at all of its geography,mii 1 4
therefore unable to now describe, except
in very general terms, the route followed
by him and his companion, but it is
sufficient to know that at length they
reached the outside of a house which
.the ludy informed him was her home.
With some hesitation he accepted un in
vitation to enter and was ushered Inlo
a room furnished In a very ordinary
twny and containing, he noticed, a type
writer. ' He was offered some ale. lr.it
having declined to drink the lady drank
eome for him.
After some pleasant chatting his com
panion stepped back, nnd rnisint; her
hand lifted off her hat nnd wig, nnd to
his intense amazement Hohlbein sew
that he was in the presence not of
woman, but of a man. Another twist ot
the wrist, and the man bad removed it
jacket, waist and skirt, and there he
stood a young man in ordinary mule
ttire.
Hohlbein was at a loss to account foi
this very strange metamorphosis mui
grasped a revolver which he c inico
with him, determined to defend himself
should the occasion rise. The stra ta r.
however, requested him to be calm itml
at bis ease, as no harm would come to
him. He then produced some samples
of bills, which he handed to Hohlbein
with tho request that the latter express
an opinion as to what they were.
"Green goodsl" said Hohlbein.
"Right you arel" said the stranger,
and he then and there offered him nil he
wanted for 25 cents for each dollar's
worth.
"How much money have you?" he
asked Hohlbein. The hitter produced
his purse and showed his companion
that there was nothing in it but some
small change scarcely worth mention
ing. This seemed to exasperate the oc
cupant of the room, and with rather
strong language he opened a door lead
ing to the back yard and promptly
evicted his guest. Hohlbein said he
walked a long distance before he could
find a street, and when he at last did so
he hastened to his hotel. In the morn
ing he related his experience to a friend,
and the two interviewed Constable Irv
ing, who went with them to the dotective
office.
The story is such a queer affair that it
is diffionlt to come to any conclusion re
garding it The man who tells it is said
to be an honest, truthful and sober man,
and those who know him place reliance
on his word. Toronto Mail.
Strange Gods of Ignorant People.
There is a sect in Orissa, in the Bengal
presidency, who worship Queen Victoria
as their chief divinity. Colonel Graham
discovered that her majesty was also an
object of worship in the temple of the
Phodonga-Lama, at Tumlong, in Thibet.
A sect in the Punjab worshiped a deity
whom they called Nikkal Sen. This
Nikkal Sen was no other than the re
doubted General Nicholson, and nothing
that tho general could do or say dumped
the enthusiasm of his adorers. M. du
Chaillu tells that some of the African
savages looked upon him as a superior
being, and the South Sea islanders wor
shiped Captain Cook as a deity. Even
when tlioy hod killed him and cut him
into small pieces the inhabitants of Owhy
hee fully expected him to reappear and
frequently asked what he wonld do to
them on his return. Lander, in his Niger
expedition, says that in most African
towns and villages he was treated as a,
demigod. Lord John Lawrence has been
worshiped among the Sikhs in northwest
India. Boston Globe,

Four lruutera were snowbound in ths
mountains at tho headwaters of the
Wynoochee rivor, Washington, for five
weeks during February and port ot
March. When the storm which snowed
them up qame, they exhausted their stock
of provisions and had killed 11 elk.
They lost their game and wore three
days without food when they killed an
eagle. Later thoy found an elk power
less in the deep snow. They lived on
elk and eagle alone for over a month.
The snow was 8 to IB feet deep, and they
could not make any progress through it.

An extraordinary kind of flying ma
chine has been designed by Horatio Phil
lips of Harrow, Lngland. In appear
ance it might be compared to a long
board on which are a pair of window
blinds, so mounted that the shutters are
nearly flat. The frame Is boat shaped in
plan, 25 feet long and 8 feet wide. It is
supported on three small wheels and
carries a small compound engine work
ing a screw propeller 8 feet in diameter.
The sustainer, or wings, consist of a
number of wooden blades or slats
mounted one above the other in a steel
frame. Each slat is 10 feet long and 1)
inches wide, the combined surface of all
the slats being 140 square feet The
frame is placed in a vertical position and
arranged transversely to the line of mo
tion. The weight of the whole machine in
working order is 860 pounds. It could
not, of course, be allowed to soar away
unfettered, as it is too small to carry any
person to guide its flight It is therefore
attached to a pillar by means of wires
which confine its flight to a circular path
828 feet in circumference. When it is
desired to operate the machine, steam is
turned on and the propeller set to work.
It has made 1J turns around the track
without any of the wheels touching
ground at a speed of 40 miles an hour,
and this with enough dead load to bring
the total weight up to 885 pounds. This
is equal to lifting a load of about Si
pounds per square foot of sustainer sur
face when nil the conditions are taken
into account New York Telegram.
A "Cooling Off" Process at the Shore.
The Bowery Is the favorite lair of the
representative professional nnd business
men of Coney Island and the mecca of
all the "jays," as the visitors are termed
who come down frpm the city to "cool
off." Close observation of the habits of
these "jays" reveals the fact that the
popular method of "cooling off" is to
pound with a large mallet in a vain at
tempt to register some impossible num
ber on a dial overhead, to blow into a
"lung tester" until one is black in the
face, to mount a yellow wooden giraffe
nnd be swung around a "carousal" to
the musio of a bronze steam organ, to
drink bad beer and to listen to nil the
unpopular aim sung by yellow haired si
rens with the sea fog air in their throats.
I had seen several thousand citizens
engaged in this J'cooling off" process,
which, by the way, frequently landed its
votaries in whnt is known bs tho "cool
er," before it occurred to me to inquire
what mesmeric power led them to act in
this manner. My researches brought
me face to face with the representative
Coney Island business and professional

Unostentatious Charity.
William C. Todd of Atkinson, N. H.,
is a philanthropist wiso in his giving.
The Boston Public Library Is $50,000 rich
er for his generosity, and his largess is
to be invested so as to secure a perma
nent annual income of $3,000 to be ex
pended in maintaining a newspaper read
ing room in which papers from every
largo city in tho world will be found. If
it did not require a struggle to overcomo
the temptation to found some weak in
stitution bearing his name instead of
burying his gift in a great organization
already established, Mr. Todd is a man
of loss than avorngo vanity. It wonld be
hard to find an investment in the direc
tion of popular education likely to bo
more beneficial than this one. A read
ing room makes littlo show. It is influ
ential nevertheless. Now York Tribune.

It is generally belioved that the money
which the Duke of Portland wins at rac

direction of the duchess, and the duke,
not content with this, seems determined
to hand down to postority a tribute to
her wholesome influence. In the center
gablo of the now fine almshouses lately
erected on his Welbeck estato for the
widows of those employed on it there is
a stone with an engraved inscription
setting forth that the buildings were
"erected by the sixth Duke of Portland
by the wish of his wife.' " Thereafter

the other day among his fellow solons a

written underneath it, "This Is a d d

How He Saved Them.
When Captain Dutton of the Servia
gave orders to go ahead at full speed
after the collision with the McCallum,
he probably thought of the experience of
the Trave abont a year ago, when her
bows cut sheer through a vessel which
she struck on the ocean, and suffered
scarcely any damage. But he bullded
hotter than he knew. By his action he
succeeded in saving every soul but one
on board the ship which he ran down.

Culluin on the prow of tire Servia long

where Discipline Is Essential.
It seems to us that wo have this year
an inordinate number of reports of riot
ous and obstreperous conduct on the
part of students in institutions of learn
ing, especially in colleges and academies,
and even in seminaries for young wom
en. Making due allowance for youthful
frivolity, we take occasion to say that at
all hazards order must be preserved
among the students and discipline' en
forced by the faculty of all educational
institutions. When students are suf
fered to override the rules set np by the
faculty, it is to their own disadvantage;
when professors fail to apply these
rules, it is evidence of their incompeten
cy! when an institution gots a name for
disordcrlineos, it is on the road to ruin.
