The New Year.
A number of Roynoldvllle people
watched the old year out and welcomed
the New Year with a boom, bang, ring

hoped, and expected, that in 1910 a big
ohunkof prosperity will drop down In our
midst and that all the Industries In the
town will be in full operation before the
year Is many months old. We believe
this will come to pass. It is olaimed
that this will be ene of the most pros
perous years ever known In the United
States, and we will certainly get a slice
of it.

KILLED THE COBRA."'
Methods of a Mongoose In Attacking
the Big Snake.
I hud the good fortune to witness a
fight between n loin foot cobra do
capello mid u mongoose.
Ou first (-niching sight of the cobra,
rlkkl tlk iiih Ititdyard Kipling culls the
1 lid In ii mongoosei 1 1 1 1 r 1 - smelled lis
tall and then hung around ii waiting
events with curiosity, imt he had not
long to wait, fur the cobra spread Its
bood. hissed out Its death sentence and
prepared to dnrt from Its coll at Its
natural and bated enemy.
Now commenced a most Interesting
and deadly battle of feint and counter
feint by tbt mongoose and strike and
lightning-like recovery by hla adver
sary, who was also on the defensive,
all the time watching for the opportu
nity to get In hla properly aimed bite.
Time after time rlkkl tlk squirmed
lowly up to within reach of those ter
rible fangs, belly on ground, with ev
ery gray balr of hla body erect with
anger and excitement, his eyes glaring
from bis bead, which, by the way, be
Invariably held sideways during this
approach and attack, but the moment
the cobra struck In a flash back sprang
master mongoose, and, although often
It appeared as If Impossible that he
could have eeenped the dreaded fnngs,
ne'er a scratch harmed him, and there
be would be agnlu wenrlng the cobra
out and pressing his advantage Inch
by Inch. At lent, with a growl and
sharp rlkkl cry, the plucky little beast
flew In, avoided the strike and seized
the snake behind the head, never for a
moment getting under hie mouth, but
right at the nape of the neck and
head, which be scrunched with a loud
cracking sonnd despite the struggles
and twisting and turning of the cobra.
Again and again rlkkl returned to the
now writhing reptile and bit Its head
and body nntll It lay dying.
Finally be ate three or four Inches
of bis mortal foe. hut carefully avoided
eating the fangs and poison glands,
which I picked up by a stick and
found them broken, but with the ven
om sacks attached.
Contrary to popular belief, I am of
opinion the mongoose Is not Immune
from anake poison, else why should be
o particularly and carefully avoid be
ing bitten T It la only by bis marvel
ous activity that be escapes the spring
and darting strike of bis deadly ene

DESTROYED BY CHEMICALS.
Weapons Used by Assassins Against
Royal Personages.
Very few people are aware that as
soon as the trial of an assassin of
royalty is concluded the weapon with
which he accomplished his crime Is
carefully destroyed so that no trace of
It remains.
The reason of this Is twofold first
of all, the possibility exists that at
some time or other the weapons used
in a royal tragedy may be exhibited to
the public In some museum or show,
and, second, there Is a strange super
stitious dread existing among reigning
bouses that the existence of tbo Inno
cent but unhallowed weapons by
which rulers have been dispatched to
eternity Is fraught with peril to their
descendants.
The method of destroying these
weapons Is a curious one. The wooden
portions, such as the stocks of pistols
or the handles of polnards, are burned,
and the metal portions are eaten away
in a bath of nitric acid.
This has beeo the custom ever since
the attempted assassination of Queen
Isabella of Spain In 18G2 by Merlus.
Prior to that date the metal work of
firearms or knives was ground or Sled
away, but tbe blade of the dagger with
which Merlus sought to execute bis
dastardly crime proved to be of aucb
exquisite temper and hardness that It
resisted botb file and grindstone.
This became known to the populace,
and the superstitious Spaniards believ
ed that Merlus had Invested bis weap
on with magical qualities. To divest
them of this absurd belief the authori
ties had the weapon destroyed by im
mersing It In chemicals, a rule that
has been followed ever since.
High Class Suicide.
In China suicide hns been a hue art
for several centuries. If a mandarin Is
guilty of misconduct be Is requested
to put himself out of the land of the
living. There Is a distinction, too, in
the manner In which the oriental may
die. If he Is of exnlted rank and enti
tled to wear the peacock feather he Is
privileged to choke himself to death
with gold leaf. This Is regarded us a
distinguished manner of ending life.
If the mandarin is only of tbe rnuk
that Is entitled to wear tbe red button
he must be content with strangling
himself with a silken cord. Such are
the distinctions of caste.

The Hand Kiss.
The kiss of tlx hand Is undoubtedly
pticlcnt mid therefore Is nut derived
from Hint of the lips, hut probably the
converse Is true. Tin- hand kiss Is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances In which the eartli.
the foot and the garments were kiss
ed, the hand and cheek succeeding In
order of time and approach to equality
of rank. Hut It Is doubtful if that
was the actual order, and It Is certain
that at the time when hand kissing
began there were less numerous grada
tions of rank than at a Inter stage.
Kissing of the hands between men
Is mentioned In the Old Testament;
also by Homer, Pliny and I.uclnn. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects, aucb as statues of the gods, as
Is shown by ancient works of art, and
also among numerous etymologies by
that ot the Latin word "ndoro." and It
was also metaphorically applied by
the inferior or worshiper kissing bis
own band and throwing the salute to
tbe superior or statue.
The Story of a 8tatue.
There was set tip In tbe seventeenth
century at Yarmouth, isle of Wight
what Is probably tbe most curious
piece of art extnnt, erected to tbe
memory of Sir ftobert Holmes, a Brit
ish naval ofllcer of that period. The
odd circumstance Is that the statue
was not originally designed for Holmes
at all, but for a very different person
age, no other. Indeed, than Louis XIV.
of France. This statue, finished as to
tbe figure, but In tbe rough as to the
head, was being taken to France on
an Italian vessel when It was captured
by a Ilrlttsh man-of-war commanded
by Holmes. Upon perceiving the un
finished condition of tbe statue
Holmes, with grim humor, compelled
tlio artist, who bad accompanied bis
work, to chisel bis (Holmes') bead on
the king's body. And so It stands to
day. Holmes was eventually made
governor of the Isle of Wight, which
fact accounts for the location of this
mongrel bit of artistry.
The Lottery Mania.
The first lottery on record In Eng
land was drawn in London In 1609,
the proceeds being devoted to public
purposes. Four hundred thousand Iota
were drawn for the prizes of cash and
silver plate, and for four months noth
ing else was thought or talked of, and
the delight of the winners and the
despair of tbe unfortunates seemed
equally exaggerated. A perfect epi
demic of lotteries followed, there be
ing no laws upon the subject, and soon
there were lottery tailors, lottery tea
merchants, lottery barbers (who with
each shave nt threepence gave a ticket
that might draw a ten pound prize),
lottery shoeblacks, lottery eating
bouses where for sixpence a plate of
meat and the chance of drawing CO
guineas were given, and so on down
to a sausage stall In a narrow alley",
where It was written that he who
bought a farthing's worth of sausage
might realize a capital of 5 shillings.

use of tbe pump Ib Germany previous

water from mines began to be replaced
by pumps. In tbe seventeenth century
rotating pumps, like the I'appenham

Prince Rupert, with one, were first
used. I'umps with plunger pistons
