POISON OF THE RATTLER. Not Nearly as Dangerous as It Is Popularly Supposed to Be. "There is a good deal more fright about the bite of a rattlesnake than there is actual danger," said a well known physician recently. "I do not mean to say that the bite of a rattler is not a very serious thing, but I do mean to say that this particular sort of snake is really not so ready or apt to 'get in his bite' as some others. "In the first place, there is the now generally credited fact that the rat-tler is the most honest of snakes. He doesn't 'pick a fight.' He doesn't lay in wait for any one. He won't run away, of course, for he is a plucky reptile, but he will curl up and give you a fair warning from those rattles of his before he attempts to strike. I remember once in the west finding a rat-tler just ahead of my horse's fore feet. I had no weapon of any sort, so I rode on, passing within a few inches of the reptile. The snake was curled and ready for my horse in case the animal side stepped, but as we did nothing of that sort we were allowed to pass in peace. "Again, the truth is that the poison of the rat-tler does not get into the wound inflicted by the fangs in the average human being. For the average human being nowadays is clothed, and the holes in the fangs through which the poison comes are rather far up toward the roof of the mouth. Consequently very often the point of the fangs may enter the skin, while the poison dribbles out harmlessly enough upon the trousers or the boot. It is then that the 'victim' gets scared, fills up on whisky—a bad thing in bona fide cases of rattlesnake bite—and believes himself marvelously cured when he wakes up next day."—Philadelphia Press.

The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148¾ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept; affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and APHORISMS.

"Pa," said he suddenly, "can I ask you a question?" "I guess you can, Henry. You seem to have a fair command of English." "Well, may I, then?" little Henry continued. "Yes," said pa. "Fire ahead." "That's funny," said little Henry. "I was just thinking of such things. Now, did the old Romans light their houses with Roman candles?" "I shouldn't wonder," said pa, chuckling. "Nero, at least, indulged in a good deal of fireworks. Anything else?" "Yes," replied little Henry. "Did the people of Athens do all their cooking with Greek fire?" Then pa got mad and said he couldn't be bothered with any more silly questions.—Household Ledger. GET CLOSE TO THINGS. The Experienced Shopper's Advice to the Quiet Woman. The modest, unassuming woman had been trying for some time to get the attention of a clerk, but they all seemed to be busy, and she had not the aggressiveness to crowd in and grab one. The experienced shopper, having completed her purchases, had time to give a little sympathy to the quiet one. "Do you want to buy something?" she asked. "Yes," was the reply, "If I could only get the attention of the clerk." "Oh, that's easy!" asserted the experienced one. "Just do as I say." But they're all so much more strenuous than I am," pleaded the quiet one. "I'd rather go without than be as unwomanly and disagreeable as some of the women are. I really can't fight for attention, you know." "Not at all necessary," explained the experienced shopper. "Do you see that tray of trinkets over there?" "Yes." "Go over and stand by it and pick up a few of them for closer examination. Put them back, of course, but just paw the collection over without any effort to get hold of a clerk. Reach out for anything you see, as if you were more interested in what's on the counter than in what's behind it." "I don't see what good that's going to do." LIVER TROUBLES "I find Thedford's Black-Draught a good medicine for liver disease. It cured my son after he had spent $100 with doctors. It is all the medicine I take."—MRS. CAROLINE MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. Va. If your liver does not act regularly to your druggist and secure a package of Thedford's Black-Draught and take a dose tonight. This great family medicine frees the constipated bowels, stirs up the torpid liver and causes a healthy secretion of bile. Thedford's Black-Draught will cleanse the bowels of impurities and strengthen the kidneys. A torpid liver invites colds, biliousness, chills and fever and all manner of sickness and contagion. Weak kidneys result in Bright's disease which claims as many victims as consumption. A 25-cent package of Thedford's Black-Draught should always be kept in the house. "I used Thedford's Black-Draught for liver and kidney complaints and found nothing to excel it."—WILLIAM COFFMAN, Marblehead, Ill.

Poetry has perhaps no place exact sciences, partly because necessity is incompatible with poetic partly because of the unalterability of the poet to get things done. A curious example of this was in a lecture at the Camera club Duncan on cuttlefishes. The cuttlefish is a descendant of the belemnite, but the only descent the coeval ammonite is the papilio. Better known is the Porman-of-war, with which the papilio is sometimes confused and is really allied with the belemnite, but its shell external, it is not really so. The Pope, Byron and James Monroe all easily fell into the error, and well known lines in the "Essex Man"—Learn of the little nautilus to sail Spread the thin oar and catch the gale—embody a wrong description very interesting survival.

LONG before the Pilgrim, Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock, Coronado, Vaca and a score of other Spanish adventurers whose names have been forgotten, led exploring parties across the plains and mountains of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. As early as 1522, Tucson, Ariz., was established. It was not incorporated until 1871, but its first building was erected nearly 350 years before that time. At Casa Grande is a relic of prehistoric times—a ruin that dates back hundreds of years before the Spaniards came. San Gabriel Mission, seen from the trains of the El Paso-Rock Island Route, is comparatively modern; it was built in 1771. There are innumerable other evidences of a civilization that was old before New England was new, but these are sufficient to show that the El Paso-Rock Island Route is the most interesting highway across the continent. From a climatic standpoint it has no equal, in that almost all the way from Los Angeles to Kansas City it runs through a land where winter is unknown. Through trains daily—sleepers, tourist cars, diner—right through Chicago. Full information at this office—call, write, telephone or telegraph. F. L. MILLER, District Passenger Agent, 237 So.

I like to think of old Bismarck as he sat by the window that opens on the windy park of Friedrichsruh in an old gray shooting jacket, a rug over his knees, a pipe in his hand, simple as a north German farmer, this man who had almost held Europe in fee. A little while before this February day he had been deposed from power. All the world knew that the old lion was sulking in his den in no amenable mood toward the young emperor who had turned him out of doors. It was known that his memoirs were written and that his correspondence was set in order. A New York publisher thought he might secure the papers in which Bismarck had told the real story of the birth of the German empire—that strange story of craft and heroism, litteness and grandeur. It was on this mission that I sailed for Hamburg. I had two letters for Bismarck. One was from a negligible ambassador. The other had been given me by a German statesman of some note with whom in other days I had been a student in the University of Jena. My friend had been a familiar of Bismarck's household and bespoke me a kindly hearing. I sent the letters on from Hamburg and followed the next day. On the table at his elbow as he sat by the window I noticed my letters. The valet who had placed a chair for me took his stand by the door. I said what I had to say. It was (permit me to affirm it) an admirable speech. For ten days and nights I had rehearsed it as I paced the deck of the stormy liner, so in tolerable German I declaimed it. It was dignified; it was diplomatic. When I had finished Bismarck took the pipe from his lips, said "Nein" and put the pipe back again. "Twas the shortest answer I ever had in my life. I waited for a moment. The old man smoked and stared out into the park. I got up and bowed. I had rehearsed that bow and did not intend to waste it. I bowed to his old hairless head, the flabby yellow jowls and big mustache, to the old gray jacket and the pipe. It was like sa-laaming to a stone wall. Then the valet led me out. In the park I regained my senses."—Vance Thompson in Success. Mark Twain Missed the Boat. The success achieved by Mark Twain during his boating days on the Mississippi river was due not only to the fact that he was a skillful pilot, but that he was an earnest one as well.

"I know there is some reason for your—what shall I call it? Well, for your unhappy frame of mind," she said. "Probably things have gone wrong at the office, but why should you come home to work off your anger on me? I'm not to blame in the slightest. It's a curious trait of human nature that when one has been whipped at once wants to turn around and whip somebody else." "I suppose that trait was left out of your nature." remarked John sarcastically. "No indeed," replied his wife. "When things go wrong in the kitchen I am rather inclined to scold the children. If you reprimand me for extravagance, my impulse is to fuss with the first person I meet. If I have been out calling and return home late to dinner, I feel very much inclined to rate you for coming home so early. I've watched this same trait in the children. When I scold Alice, she always finds occasion to shake Maud on the sly. If you spank Jim, he generally goes out and makes faces at the little girl across the way. If the children come home from school saying 'teacher was awful cross today,' I jump to the conclusion that the principal had been criticising the teacher. If you tell me I'm not economical, I know you have just suffered from a slump in the stock market; and I suppose after you and I have had a little heated discussion you go down to the office and make things unpleasant for the clerks." "To be frank with you, Mary," said John, "I do not often find you guilty of working off a grouch on me. Tell me what you do instead." Mary smiled denurely. "I wait until you go out of the house; then I run for my room, lock the door, throw myself on the couch, burrow my head in the pillow and have a good cry."—New York Press. ANIMAL SURGERY. Wild Beasts Are Wise In Medicine and Easily Heal Themselves. Most people have seen a sick cat eat grass or an uneasy dog seek out some weed and devour it greedily to make his complaining stomach feel better. Some few may have read John Wesley's directions on the art of keeping well—which have not, however, found their way into his book of discipline for the soul—and have noticed with surprised interest his claim that many medicines in use among the common people and the physicians of his time were discovered by watching the animals that sought out these things to heal their diseases. "If they heal animals, they will also heal men," is his invincible argument. Others may have dipped deep into Indian history and folklore and learned that many of the herbs used by the American tribes, and especially the cures for rheumatism, dysentery, fever and snake bites, were learned direct from the animals by noting the rheumatic old bear grub for fern roots or bathe in the hot mud of a suburban spring and by watching with The old man smoked and shaved out into the park. I got up and bowed. I had rehearsed that bow and did not intend to waste it. I bowed to his old hairless head, the flabby yellow jowl and big mustache, to the old gray jacket and the pipe.

The success achieved by Mark Twain during his boating days on the Mississippi river was due not only to the fact that he was a skillful pilot, but that he was an earnest one as well. A man who knew Mr. Clemens in those days told how the genial humorist once missed his boat. Instead of inventing an excuse, as many of his companions did, he reported to his superior officer as follows: "My boat left at 6:10. I arrived at the landing at 6:20 and could not catch it."

A young lady from the city was trying her hand as an amateur saleswoman in a plantation store one morning last week when an old colored woman, gorgeously arrayed in her Sunday clothes, entered the store and pointing to a bottle of German cologne on one of the highest shelves, asked: "What dat? That's cologne, auntie." Well. I'll take it." Delighted at having made a sale in such a short time the young lady busied herself in getting down the bottle and dusting it for the customer's inspection, at the same time commenting upon its excellencies with the volubility of air experienced auctioneer. "I believe, auntie," she continued, "that this is the finest perfume ever manufactured!" She was brought to a sudden pause, for the old negress had thrown up both hands in horrified protest. "Stop right darl! Youse done gib yourself away. Fust you said cologne, but now you done let out dat it's puffume, an I don't want it, for puffume nebber holds its scent. I wanted cologne."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Valuable Ware. At the Saveton sale, in London, a few years ago, a service of old Sevres ware was sold for $5,000. The genuineness of this set was proved by certificates issued to the owners by the French government, writes F. Vizetelly in Godey's. But by far the most valuable service turned out at the Sevres pottery (in 1778) was made for the Czarina Catherine H of Russia and consisted of 745 pieces, which cost $65,630. The Sevres ware, old or modern, is usually light in color and daintily decorated with powers or figure subjects tastefully arranged. The porcelain itself, although of good texture, is inferior to that of the English potteries. Decorated pieces generally bear pictorial panels on white ground, surrounded by frames of gilt scrollwork.

Poetry has perhaps no place in the fact sciences, partly because exactness is incompatible with poetic license, partly because of the unalterable tendency of the poet to get things wrong. A curious example of this was noticed at a lecture at the Camera club by Mr. Uncan on cuttlefishes. The modern tittlefish is a descendant of the fossil lemnite, but the only descendant of the coeval ammonite is the paper nautilus. Better known is the Portuguese man-of-war, with which the paper nautilus is sometimes confused and which is really allied with the belemnite group, because, while its shell appears external, it is not really so. The poets Pope, Byron and James Montgomery easily fell into the error, and Pope's well-known lines in the "Essay on Man"— A body a wrong description of this very interesting survival. Pope believeth with many other people, that the litter-nautilus comes to the surface keel downward and spreads some fleshy and ciliary expansions in the form two sails and six little oars. But it does nothing of the kind. The two littoral expansions—the sails—are never raised at all, but always tightly抓 the shell. They form, in fact, part of the shell. Moreover, the nautilus comes to the surface upside down, we may so express its position— The Elephant Corps. An English newspaper, in an article on the Siamese army, says: "In one respect the Siamese army is superior to every other, and that is in its elephant corps. Eight hundred of these animals, which are stronger, though smaller, than those of India, are organized into a special corps, commanded by a retired Anglo-Indian officer, and their heads, trunks and other vulnerable parts are protected against bullets by india rubber armor."

He found it also had a good tonic effect on the whole system; this he used in his private practice with such favorable results that he finally decided to put it up in "patent medicine" form some thirty-five years ago, and since that time it has enjoyed the largest sale of any medicine put up for women only. It is entirely vegetable, and Dr. Pierce gives his absolute guarantee that it contains no alcohol, opium or other harmful narcotics.
