India's Venomous Serpent Thai Is So Ireded by tha Native. It was a hot Sunday morning in India, without a cloud in the brazen skies, says a writer in tho Christian Intelligencer. We had just come homo from early morning services and had taken our seats at the breakfast table.

At the open door of our dining-room our Telu-gu school-teacher appeared, saying: "Sir, a big cobra has just been chasing a frog through the whole length of our front veranda. He struck at it again and again as it sprang past the open doors of your sitting-room, but the frog, uttering piercing shrieks (as a frog can when pursued by a serpent) sprang each time quick enough to elude its jaws, and together they rushed off the end of the veranda and the frog sprang under a box that is standing there, too near down upon the hard floor for the big cobra to get under, and so escaped. "Well," said "where is the cobra now?" "That is just what I don't know," said he, "for while I was looking to see what had become of the frog how he had got away the cobra disappeared among the flower-pots, and I cannot 6ee where he has gone." "He must havo a hole there close by the veranda somewhere," said I. "Will you please go and watch until I come, and see if you can get sight of hiia again, for he must be killed if he lives as near the house as that." I don't go a-shooting on Sunday, but I went for my pistol then, for I considered It decidedly a work of necessity and mercy to put an end to the danger of ourselves or our people being bitten by that deadly cobra. Soon appearing with a revolver, which I kept for traveling through the jungles at night, I went to hunting for the cobra's hole.

Two largo native flowcr-pots stood about six feet from the end of the veranda, with each a beautiful rose growing in it, of which my wifo was very fond, and beside which she almost daily stood picking off dead leaves or watering and tending the roses. I soon discovered a hole in tho ground about as large as my wrist, partially, concealed by the grass that was growing right between the two flower-pots, which were far enough apart for a person to Btand between them. The hole went down perpendicularly, growing larger as it went deeper. It took but a moment to bring a hand-mirror and throw a reflection of tho bright sun right down into the hole. It revealed a horizontal chamber only a foot or so deep, find the glistening scales of a cobra colled up at rest.

Taking a piece of broken wagon-tire in my left hand to stop up the hole with and placing the end of it slantingly in the hole, I fired down Into it. Not a motion was seen. I had missed. Turning the tiro up edgewise I fired again. What a squirming there was! The cobra had been wounded.

He struck up viciously at tho Iron, which was turned down flat as soon as I had fired to keep him from darting1 out at us. I turned the iron edgewise and fired again and again. When I had, unloaded the sixth barrel I let him, strike his head out and caught it against the side with the iron tiro. I hud brought with me a pair of largo hedge-shears. With these I caught hold of his protruding neck and with a stout pull with both hands pulled him out and gave him a flirt out Into the compound.

What a scattering there was of men, women, and children! My attention had been so taken up by the snake that I had not noticed what a big crowd had gathered around. How they screamed and ran! for they did not BEST IN THE WORLD The Garrett Pickett Wire Fence Machine TRY IT, You will use no other. It weaves to the Posts. Thousands in use. GUARANTEED.

I H0NKTWEARlNa I VjiSTriisHSHoe Published ever; Wednesday by ANDERSON BROTHERS. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1891., The way to reform is to reform. The Oklahoma cowboys are on the roundup and many a small town is being painted red after a hard day's run. The formerly Kansas cyclone has moved southward. Ihe playful thing wiped a Texas town from the face of the earth rot long since.

Kansas editors have not said much about a "velvet carpet of green yet this spring; but the state has one of the most elaborate kind all the same. It is claimed that where blue grass grows prolifically is the place to grow pretty girls. This, then, accounts for the very many very pretty girls in Kansas. When the Botkins impeachment trial, which is now grinding out in Topeka, is finished the timber inspector will probably try his instruments on Sam Wood. Since Ingalls became a farmer he has developed an.

agricultural hen which, wears a high comb and crows. He calls it his rooster that lays eggs and has named it MEL-ease. The calamity howlers are about out of political thunder. The glorious crop prospect in Kansas is an expurgatory influence working wonderful changes in the minds of the people. There is nothing that succeeds like success, but it is oftentimes handicapped by the injudicious conduct of men who have acquired the bad habit of standing in their own light waiting for an opportunity to do something.

When the office starts to hunt candidates for the fall campaign it will have to carry a heavy weeping-elm club as a means of self-protection against the horde of hungry animals who are sharpening their tusks for the official banquet The prairie grass is lousy with aspirants for a pull at the public teat. 1 Wonder how many more two-for-a-nickle statesmen will get out manifestos to be used as political thunder for the precious cause in jl 11 mi i xne tan campaign, xne latest is Baid to be one in course of preparation by the janitor who cleaned the spittoons of the house of representatives during the last session of the legislature. A man in an Oklahoma town was recently taken before a justice and fined for being drunk. Several days after he was arrested for the same offense and tried before a jury who decided that the latter was only a continuation of the form er drunk, and therefore the accused could not be held to pay another fine. More work and less talk will do more to restore confidence and enlarge the circulating medium than all the commercial congresses put together for a thousand years.

When the people, of this country resolve to quit complaining un- necessarially and take up the tools of industry with a determined hand there will bo less danger of stagnation in business and more opportunities for investing safely. Many may not kn6w it, but that little spite-work job the Botkin impeachment now being enacted at Topeka is costing the people of Kansas from a thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per day; and when the further fact that this; costly farce is directly chargable to the retrenchment reform political howlers is realized, as it surely will be after a while, then will it begin to dawn upon the minds of the dear confiding people that they have been duped and fleeced most extravagantly and by a ruthless hand all along the line of this new political reform craze. "It Is popularly believed that all clay' pipes are either made in Europe or from clay brought from the other hemisphere, but such is not the case, as a very large share of the clay pipes made in America are from cloy found at and near Wood-bridge, N. J. The clay comes by tha carload and the first stop toward pre paring it for molding; is to Buiaoicntly dampen it with water to make it pliable.

This is done by placing it in a tank, where it soaks for about twenty-four hours. It is then hammered with iron bars, thus ridding it of any lumps or dry chunks. Then tho molding be gins. The workman takes a lump of clay in each hand and by squeezing and rolling it molds the pieces into a rough stem about three times as large as the finished pipe stem, having a rough ball at its end. These rolls, as they are called, are piled on wooden trays, sixteen to each tray, after which they are dried, either by the sun or by artificial means, according to the weather.

After having been dried, not to hardness but sufficiently to dispose of all superfluous dampness, tho rolls are ready to have the stem drilled and the bowl formed. To drill tho stem tho workman holds a small iron rod the size of the stem holes, and with his left hand pulls the clay roll over the rod instead of shoving the rod through tho stem. To do. this the workman is guided solely by the sense of touch in his finger tips, and that sense is so accurate that the hole is invariably made correctly. The ball at tho end of the roll is turned up, and then roll and rod are placed in an iron matrix which presses the pliable clay Into the desired outsido pattern.

The matrix and its contents aro placed in a hand press, and tho workman, by pulling a lever, forms tho hole of tho pipe bowl. The molded pipe, still soft and pliable, then passes to the hands of the trimmer girls, who scrape off the superfluous clay, making tho joints of the matrix. Thon tho pipes are placed in fire-proof clay sagger and tho loaded saggers aro placed in a large furnace. This furnace has eight flues at tho bottom, and tho six sheets of flamo at tho bottom concentrate at tho top, thus making the heat even throughout. Until the pipes go into the furnace they aro blue in color, but when they come out they aro pure white.

BRAIN WORK AT NIGHT. Unless, It Is Imperative It Should Be Avoldod. To the Imaginative young writer there Is a fascination about tho quietude of uninterrupted night work until much of its mischief has been done. If he has a fixod dally occupation, or is popular among his friends, tho night oilers the best chanco for continued application by its quietness and peace. This very cessation of Ufa's turmoil and tho resulting feeling of ease should bo accepted as nature's preparation for rest.

Unless it is Imperative night work should bo avoided, says a writer in the Herald of Ilcalth. It must be imperative to tho staff of morning papers, and the question thus assumes importance of accomplishing tho work with tho least possible expenditure of vital While by working during tho day persistently and deliberately an enormous amount of cony can bo thrown off, that produced after midnight absorbs tho best part of the writer's vitality. When ho should bo in the prime of his faculties ho is nervous, Buffers from insomnia, and hi3 overtaxed nervous system cannot rest, even in artificial slumber. Tho natural tomptation is to apply the whip of stimulation to tho jaded brain; but thi 1 is dangerous, and at tho best only a transient and uncertain remedy. Tho imagination answers fitfully to this kind of forcing, tho next day's critical judgment of the results almost certainly will bo unfavorable, and tho mental cscitemont thus induced will probably bo oxtravagant.

Try to sustain the brain tmdor such stress rather than to excite it. SOMETHING ADOUT CLONDES. An Observing Gotham Conductor Rays Thojr Are Caroloii About Their Hair. She was a big, tall blonde, with square shoulders, a narrow waist, patent loather shoes and a swagger air that would havo taken tho train along by itself. Sho got in the car at Twenty-eighth street, got off at Fourteenth street, and between tho two stations she picked up four hairpins from tho cross seats of the car and.

hid them in her taffy-colorod back hair. Tho big brakeman in charge of the car said to a New York Telegram Reporter while ho stood near tho platform: "Did you see the big blonde pick up tho hairpins? Well, there are a great many women who do that same thinff every day, and there aro some of them that wo know simply because they seem to find pleasure In taking odd hairpins and using them." "Are there so many hairpins to be found on the elevated cars?" asked the reporter. "Why, their name Is legion," said Ned, "and most of them are to be found either early In the morning or late in the afternoon. It is peculiar how many of these same hairpins, which are found all over the car scats, are the gilt ones used by blondes. It is generally supposed that there aro three brunettes to one blonde, yet it is a poculiar fact that we pick up more hairpins for the uso of blondes in the elevated cars than we do black ones, and that is the reason that the lady who just got out of the car found so many hairpins that Bhe could use." Bleeping on tho Store.

Beds are still strango pieces of furniture in Russia and many well to do houses are still unprovided with them. Peasants sleep on tho top of their ovens; middle-class people and servants roll themselves up in sheepskins and lie down near stoves; soldiers rest upon wooden cots without bedding and it is only within the last few years that students instate schools have been allowed beds. district court 8 SO CHiilield, Juror fee April term district txiurt 17 60 James Berry, Juror fee April term I district court J8 00 FHlkenrich.

Squirm and strike as he did his head did not come out of the hole until I had fired many times; but it finally came and I secured him also.

On drawing him out and examining him closely we found fourteen pistol-ball holes through his body, and still there was fight in him. Any three of the wounds would have proved fatal in time; but he died making a splendid fight. We laid the cobras out on the veranda and measured them. One of them measured five feet eleven inches and the other six feet and two Inches, than which one rarely finds a cobra larger. Their hide 6howed that they had evidently been living there right among the flower pots that were tended dally and within six feet of our veranda, and within twelve feet of my study door for weeks or months.

Though the cobra Is the deadliest serpent known, and thousands of persons die of their bite yearly In India, no one in our mission has ever been harmed by one. A Hand Carriage. A brougham built by an English firm is a model of conveniences. It is fitted with electric light sufficient for reading or writing. Opposite the seat Is an ivory plate on which are several buttons properly lettered: "Left," "Right," "Stop," "Go On," "Home," and so on.

On the dashboard in the coachman's view is a case lettered to correspond, so that when a knob is pressed he understands at once what is expected of him. One button brings out the word "Speak," in which case he will put the speaking tube in position and receive orders. A Prudent Mother. There was a lively scrapping match between two Indiana light-weights the other night, says the Detroit Free Press, and when the victor returned to his home in Seymour, puffing over his victory and a hundred dollars in his pocket, his mother realized that his egotism might prove his downfall if not nipped in the bud. She therefore squared off and broke his jaw and knocked him out in the second round.
