A NIGIIT OP HORROR.
The Young Man Mad Seventeen Snakes for
Bedfellows.
"It was a . rather gruesome ' experience.
which caused my hair to whiten in this .man-
ner," said a rather youthful traveller to. the
group who sat about him . in the sn►oking-
car, and who had noticed his young face and
Snowy locks,
"Two years ago," he continued, "my eld-
est brother, who had been on a tour arouhd
the world, came home. Ever since his fif-
teenth year helms been absolutely crazy on
the subject of botanical and chemical pur-
suits, In spite of all that my father could
say to the contrary, he made a speoial study
of toxicology, diving into volumes of old
manuscripts relating to the time of the Bor-
gias, and making all sorts of experiments re-
lative to the poisons which can be extracted
from the vegetable and animal worlds. His.
long travels had, in fact, no other purpose
thau to enlarge his knowledge in this branch
of science. Much to our disgust he brought
back with him fron, the island of Sumatra a
large glass case containing some remarkably
poisonous specimens of snakes, for the pur-
pose of studying and analyzing their venom
when once more in the laboratory which he
had causer) to be built next to his room.
" I have always had a horror of snakes
and although I do not think that I am a.
coward, I felt an absolute dread of the
writhing coil of reptiles which Yves insisted
on keeping in his dressing -room, inclosed in
their prison of glass. On the second night
after my brother's return I went to bed very
late. it was a cold November night and the
wind swept in icy gusts around the old
place. Everybody was asleep, and when I
lay down there was not a sound save the
crackling of the logs on the broad hearth.
Thoroughly exhauated, and lulled by the
low moaning of the sea at the • foot of the
cliffs far below my windows, I dropped to
sleep at once.
I must have slept about an hour when
I was awakened by an incomprehensible
feeling of anguish. Cold perspiration stood
on my face and I experienced great dlfli
Minty in breathing. Dazed and surprised, I'
looked around me, but the lire had almost
completely died out, and the dine, rosy light
from the smouldering embers was not
strong enough to allow me to dis-
tinguish anything clearly. In my hurry
to get to bed I bad forgotten to place
matches within my reach, so that I
was unable to light my little night -lamp. I
was just trying to reason myself into going
to sleep again when a very slight rustle at.
treaded my attention and made me shudder
from head to foot.
"It was so alight that none but ears
sharpened by fear could have perceived it,
and yet there was a soft, silky, gliding, un-
dulating motion of something invisible gra-
dually and steadily approaching my bed.
I lay there incapable of moving, straining
every nerve in my effort to realize what that
sound could bo, but the beating of my pulses
was so loud that I could less and loss distin-
guish whence it came. Suddenly my heart
died within me, for a cold, clammy, wrig-
gling object had touched my hand, whore it
lay on the outside of the coverlet. In that
truly awful minute the full horror of the
situation flashed upon me—the box contain-
ing my brother's snakes had been loft open!
Attracted by the warmth, the monsters had
glided in through the dossing room door
and were taking refuge from the cold in my
bed, In spite of my well-nigh crazed state
of mint) I thoroughly realized that my only
chance of escape from immediate death lay
in absolute stillness. One motionof hand
foot thestartled reptiles fo rept les would make
an end of me.
"Ca you imagine, gentlemen, whatat it is
to be morbidly atra/d of snakes an.Ito have
to lie there emotionless while seventeen—
yes, seventeen—hideous, writhing, nauseous
serpents creep one after another into your
bed and nestle against you in their search
for warmth and comfort ? Great heavens 1
when I think of it I once more experience
the feeling of frenzied terror and appalling
loathing which came so near killing me that
night. And still I dared not so nisch as
breathe, for I well knew that one bite of
the poisonous fangs which surrounded me
on all sides now would be immediate de-
struction. My brother had told me only
that evening that these were the most dead-
ly kind of snakes known to the natives of
Sumatra. I would have braved all this,
however, so intolerable was my anguish, to
escape from the diabolical contact of those
long, ropelike coils which carne closer and
closer to me. But I was conscious that even
had they been removed I would have been
incapable of stirring. I was paralyzed
by some magnetic power, or perhaps by fear
alone.
"I heard the clock ticking monotonously
on my desk, I listened to every sob -of the
waves against the rocky beach and to the
fast rising wind as it shook the windows.
But all these sounds were dull in fny ear,
as if heard from a far -away grave where I
was entombed alive. The minutes . dragged
along like hours, and the hours like days.
Several times I clenched my teeth convul-
sively to smother a cry of agony which was
almost wrung from inc by a motion of one
of my awful bedfellows , there would have
been as much danger in screaming as in
moving ever so slightly. What hopes had I,
anyhow, of snaking myself heard? My own
and my brother's apartments were secluded
from the.rest of the house by a long picture
gallery, and between his and my rooms wore
two immense dressing -rooms opening into
one another. Moreover, Yves, who had suf-
fered from marsh fevers during his visit to
the tropics, was in the habit of taking
chloral every night to combat the terrible
headaches and sleeplessness which were the
outcome of his illness. • Hee was no doubt
then under the effect: of the opiate and
would not have heard the booming of a
cannon.
"Slowly, miserably slowly, the time
dragged on its weary course. Towards day-
break I think I must have swooned away,
for I certainly lost all consciousness of my
frightful situation. When 'I once More
awoke tathe sense -thereof I could see that
the sun had risen. The room seemed ghast-
ly to me in the dim light. I glanced en the
bed,. but no, there was no snake to be seen.
They had all crept under the coverings,
where they lay coiled against my body, pro=
bably enjoying their comfortable nest.
"Again minutes grew into hours ofinde-
scribable slowness and suffering. I could
now hear the servants moving about and the
horses being led out for exercise in the'pad
docks. The dressing bell sounded and then
I grew desperate. Was I going to be left
to die here, within a hundred yards of my
family? It seemed to me as if I were dead
already. A feeling of complete numbness
pervaded my vhole body and an isY
SresI
was about my brain and heart. I felt my-
self fainting again. •
"Suddenly' the door was pushed open
and my brother walked up to my bedside.
With a hoarse, terrified cry he recoiled a few
steps. Collecting all my; remaining reason,
I whispered one word, ' Milk.' For a sec-
ond he gazed distraughtly at me ; then com-
prehending what had happened, he rushed
frantically from the 'room. When he re -
turned he was carrying a wide bowl full of
milk, which he placed on the carpet beside
my bed. I cannot describe in detail how,
one by one, the snakes turned and twisted
and glided out of my bed to the floor, where
their favorite food was tempting them. I
counted tlleln, and when the. seventeenth
had left my side, as if released from a spell,
I uttered a loud, ringing cry, which ended in
a fit of violent hysterics. •
" For weeks afterwards raved and strug-
gled in the throes of , brain fever, As
for my brother,' he verynearly went' insane,
and to this day be cannot bear to talk of
that morning when, on entering my room,
he found me lying nu my bed like a corpse,
with a face.. transfixed by an expression of
unearthly horror, and with my hair turned

periodic occurrence among many of the

For every class of living creature there is

temperature to either of which it succumbs ;
but, if the temperature only approach these
extremes, its activities are arrested, and it

Previously unsought sources of historical
in formation have been found inthe archives
of Europe ; and instead of being a saintly in-
dividual, who proceeded to discover this
Continent on the most approved pious litera-
ture plan, Columbus was as wild a blade as
ever sailed the seas over. In the first place
it is doubtful whether Columbus was his
real name. In the next, it has been shown
conclusively that he was a pirate, and that
he belonged to one of the most merciless
bands that ever scuttled a ship. Later on
in life Columbus was shipwrecked on the
shores of Spain, and Ise was induced by cir-
cumstances to give up his piratical profes-
sion and marry. It is freely charged
that in the Neiv World he plundered the
Indians in order to satisfy the rapacity of
his patrons in Spain, and.hoalso became a
slave trader. In' short. Columbus was the
product of his time, and not muds better or
worse than the rest of his. contemporaries.
The attempt of one of his critics, Mr. Jus.
tin Winsor, to make him out a mean-spirit-
ed creature, however, falls eutirely to the
ground. The man who conceived the bold
project of sailing round the world of waters,
penetrating that mysterious and illimitable
ocean, and continuing until he came to India
on the other side, was no coward. It was
the most adventurous conception that has
in all the centuries dawned upon the mind
of nzan, and it will forever vindicate Col-
umbus from the charge of a craven spirit.

There is only a distinction without a dif-
ference between an auburn -haired sweet-
heart and a red-headed wife.
It is astonishing how the history taught
us in our youth has to suffer in later life
when the fierce glare of research is thrown
upon it. Columbus is regarded by every
school -bey as a hero, but a professor of
history now .declares that he was neither
more not less than a vulgar, coarse pirate,
who sailed for distant lands out of an innate
cussedness and to gratify an absorbing love
for plunder and adventure. The fact that

The Wife of 2,000 Years Ago.
" Wives, obey year husbands" would seem
to be an even stronger point in Confucian
than in Pauline doctrine, from the sample
translations by Miss A.C. Stafford of an an-
cient Chinese work, in 313 chapters, in-
structing women as to the behavior expected
of them. The work is000 years old.
The first duty of a Chinese woman,
so the book says, was to " reverence ber
husband as heaven." She must not hesitate
to die for hitt, and one of the little anecdotes
related to encourage obedience is that of
a peasant, who, during a severe faminewas
seized by, some soldiers, who.proposed to
make a mealof higl. " My husband is very
lean," pleaded. the wife, he will be scarce-
ly a mouthful. I am fleshy and of dark cout,-
plexion, and they say that the flesh of such

prevailed, and spared her husband. As to
how she should comport herself the book
says: " In the presence of her parents or
parents -m -law a woman may, not sneeke or
cough, neither stretch, yawn, nor loll about
when'tired, nor may she presume to stare at
them. She should wear a happy face and a
•mild, pleasant deportment in serving then,"
in order to soothe them." The wife of a con-

In 1430 A. D. after nineteen years o
ceaseless labor and an expenditure of about
£800,000, the Chinese Government finished

which stood for nearly four and a -quarter

"My little sister, four years of age
was so 311 from bronchitis that we had
almost given up hope of her recovery.
Our family physician, a skilful man and
of large experience, pronounced it use-
less to give her any more medicine;

sible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. As a last resort, we determined
to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and I can
truly say, with the most happy results.
,After taking a few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within a week, was
oat of danger. We continued giving tho
Pectoral until satisfied site was entirely
well. This has given me unbounded faith
in the preparation, and I recommend it
confidently to my customers."—C. O.
