CHARMED SNAKES.Startling Discovery Made by the

Father of a Florida Girl.

WITHmusic drawn from

her violin, Miss RuthBrown, a beautifulyoung lady, has suc-ceeded in charmingabout fifty rattlesnakes

that have their den under an immense rooknear her home.

Miss Brown is the daughter of wealthyparents, who reside in a magnificent homeon the Swauee river. She is an accomp-lished violinist and for six months hasbeen accustomed to sit on the rock motion-ed and play on her violin.

Sunday afternoon the secret of her fond-ness for the rock was disclosed. Whileriding over his estate her father heard

weird music on the rock. The music hadan uncanny sound and Mr. Brown rode tothe rook.

There he found his daughter playing herviolin while around her were about fiftysnakes, some of them monsters in size.The snakes were in a state of ecstacy.Wilder grew the music and some of the

snakes shook their rattles in harmony.Finally Miss Brown threw a note of

command into the music and the snakesgradually slipped from the rook and dis-appeared in their den.

Mr. Brown was horrified when his

daughter told him that for six months she

had played to the snakes. Miss Ruth saysevery afternoon she feels such a longingto have the snakes about her that she can-not resist and that she would rather die

than surrender tile privilege.While playing to the snakes that sur-

round her she says she is unconscious of

occurrences beyond the reptilian circleMiss Brown is well known in social circles

in Florida.

WOMEN’S WORK IN ‘95An Interesting: Summary of Their Pro-

gress In Politics, etc.

A compilation entitled “The Progress ofWomen in 18(15” has been made by Mrs.Louise I’. I’urington, M. I)., of Dorchester,in co-operation with Miss Frances E. Willard, says the Boston Transcript, and willincorporate the results in her annual addressthe National Convention of the Women’s

Christian Temperance Union in Baltimoreon October 18. Under the heading “Re-ligious,” it is noted that half of the Boardof Deacons in a new church in New Yorkare women, that the Episcopal DiocesanConvention of Southern California gavewomen the right to vote for for vestrymenand trustees, that Dr. .Iconic M. Taylorhas gone to Africa as the first dental mis-sionary among women, and that Dr. HeeKing Eng is the first Chinese woman grad-uate of an American college to practice inin China, and th second woman graduateof her race to take an Occidental medicinedegree.

In the political field it is noted, tor thefirst time in the history of Germany, awoman, Dr. Grauck-Iluhne, of Berlin, tookpart, by invitation, in a public discussionat the Evangelical Social Congress, that theBelgian Parliament had for the first timebeen asked to consider a bill for woman’smunicipal enfranchisement, that variouswomen have taken prominent official posi-tions in public life, and that nearly 100English women were elected on the PoorIjiw Boards and lo women on the parishcouncils, lu literature it is pointed outthat women have accomplished much workespecially in the higher branches ofscience,and in art that an English painter has beenasked to send her portrait painted by her-self to the UlfiAd Gallery at Florence, that

a New York painter has received honorablemention for her picture in the Paris Salon

this year, ami that a Cincinnati woman hasestablish the Rockford Pottery works in

that city.Women are rapidly coming to the front

in all kinds of industry. Among new de-partures may he noted a superintendent of

weddings, the first undertaker at Chicago;an auctioneer in London; a room elerk at alarge hotel in Colorado Springs; many census enumerators, ten in Boston alone; astable foreman, a professional marketer, a

blacksmith and two sheriffs. In New Yorkcity 111 women make a livingby designingnew styles of hats. In Japan many womenachieve financial independence by amusingother women. In Chicago a woman hasopened a shoe-dressing and boot-blackingparlor. One hundred or more women arein barber shops in Chicago alone. Theyare sought for their steady nerves and lighttouch unimpaired by nicotine or liquor.In Philadelpeia women are running the

elevators is large bublic buildings.

AGAIN THE “NEW WOMAN,”

The Crocus Club, a New York organiz-ation, has recently been asking the opin-ions of well known people on the subjectof the “new woman,” and some veryinteresting replies have been received.Bishop Vincent says: “The coming womanwill be educated without losing any of

the delicacy and womanliness which belonglo her. The probability is that womanwill be more intellectual in literary lines,in view of the fact that so many of ourboys are going into business and so manyof our girls are seeking higher education.There is one consideration, however whichgives comfort. It is, ns women become Imore educated they will b come moreskillful mothers and will be better able to

train hoysas they should be trained,”

Says Edward Everett Hale: "If the com-ing woman loves God and loves her neighbor as herself, and if she can succeed in notthinking of herself too much, and certainly

in not thinking of herself more highlythan she ought to think, as ,St. Paul puts itI think she will make all the social reformthat her times may require.”

“The coming woman,” says Marion Har-land, “willbe a friend to humanity, toman as well as woman. I odject to thecapital W. Ibelieve woman should espec-ially endeavor to help mankind.”

Mary Ellen Lease is optimistic as onewould expect her to be: “We are to havenot only a new heaven and a) new earth,hut a new woman. The old and

the old earth are being rolled away like” ascroll. The new heaven and the new earth

are being unfolded to our vision and thenew woman is here, a potent verity," toexercise her God assigned mission to entermen’ssonls and bring the race to harmonyand completeness.

THE UTILIZATION OF HOUSESLOPS.

1 1 is conceded that the average gardensuffers more from want of water than fromany other one thing. There is scercely atime from May to November when the gar-den does not need some form of irrigation.There is unquestionably nothing better for

this purpose than some form of liquid ferti-lizer. House slops is not an ideal fertilizerby any means, yet it is very much betterthan water alone, and it has the advantageof costing nothing except the labor of put-ting it on the garden. As a portion of thislabor would have to be done anyway, nomatter how the slops were disposed of, thecost is not worthy of consideration.

The average house drain and cess-pool isan abomination which should not be toler-ated in a civilized community, and yet itis surprising how common are such methodsof disposing of house slops. In many casesthese drains go direct from the kitchen into

covered cess-pools without any tappingwhatever. No wonder people who live insuburban towns are especially subject t-malaria, typhoid fever, and kindred dis-eases. The old saying, “out of sight, outof mind” is altogether too true when ap-plied to house drainage. The damp airand musty, disagreeable smells aboutmany homes are due largely to the throwing of slops about the kitchen doors, or im-perfectly constructed drain and cesspools,when riding through the country on aquiet, warm evening, a person with a deli-cate nose, can readily pick out the homesdoctors’ visits are likely to be frequent.The strangest part of it is, people will live•>n from year to year amid such surround-ings without making any effort to improvethem.

The remedy is easy; it consists simply inputting the house slops onto the surface ofyour garden. A well-known writer terselystated it when he said: “Throw no dishwater nr slops of any kind anywhere in thedoor-yard. Ifyou have got a drain tear itout and fill it up.

Then get a portable cask to stand by the

kitchen door and receive the waste, whichcan be wheeled away and emptied alwaysin a different place.”

Ihave found that the best way to do itis to have a pipe running directly fromyour sink, at about the height of a barrel,and keep a barrel under it at all times.

Such a barrel can be purchased at almostany implement or hardware store, andadmirably answers the purpose, the cartenabling a person of ordinary strength towheel the barrel to any part of the garden.When the water, or more property speakingliquid fertilizer is not needed for growingplants it should be put on trees or ongrape vines or small fruit, and it is usuallyadvisable not to dump it twice in success-ion in the same place, unless the soil isin the meantime, broken up with a hoe orspade.

WAS HE AN ANIMAL.

“Do you mean to tell me that I am ananimal?”

It was one of the visitors at the Zoo whomade that indignant objection. He and afriend had been contemplating the almosthuman antics of the monkeys, and thefriend that bad made the innocent and al-together wise though not original remarkthat if man was the highest animal themonkey came next in order.

“Man the highest animal!” was themingled question and exclamation of theignoramus, as if his ears had played him atrick.

“Why, of course,” said the friend,“that’s what I said. Don’t you thinkyourself of higher intelligence and bettergenius all ’round than the monkey orbaboon, or of any of the reptiles orbirds?”

“Doyou mean to tell me that I am ananimal?” persisted the self conceitedsuperior being, with strong emphasis onthe I.

“Not only you, my dear fellow, hut allof us,’’ declared the friend.

“Don’t say that to me; I’m neither achild no an ass.”

“But I’m telling you the truth.”“Well, tell it to the monkeys; it may be

some consolation to them for being caged.You certainly don’t believe such rotas thatyourself?”

The friend became greatly amused.“Most surely you are an animal,” l.e

repeated, “and I think Darwin will bearme out in my statement.”

“Darwin be d—ill”“But all history, my dear sir, goes to

prove ”

“And common sense, the immortal ego,tells me that lam not an animal. Andcommon sense is the only authority.”

“Well, for heaven's sake, what are youthen?" asked Tic friend, disgustedly, "a

i vegetable or a mineral? Then perhaps youI arena angel in mortal disguise.’,

And the two seperated, each realisingthat there was too vast a difference in theirrespective intelligence for further com-panionship.
