is guile complete. 'laving observed
this, a Swedish chemist, Dr. (lruuse
bolt, who has the reputation of being
both Great end learned, professor at the
Ueiver:sity sit lJpsat, has tomo to the
conolueiau that the legyplians are not
all, as has been b,•tiereti far some thtrl
sands of years, betties cis i4ined by any
proc,'ss of pre.ervatton whatever, blit

he says have always proved successful.
tie took a sticks, and treated it in elicit
a manner es to benumb it as though it
haul been carved iu marble, and was so
brittle that, lied he allowed it to, it
would have been broken into fragments.
In this way, he kept it for one or sever-
al years, a:ad then restored it to life by
sprinkling it with stimulating fluid, the
composition of which is his secret. For
fifteen years the snake has been under-
gving jn existence composed of succos-
eive d sten and resurrections, appar-
ently without sustaining h•'rm. The
Professor is reported to have sent a
petition to the Swedish government,
requesting that a criminal who has
been condemned to death might be
given to hits, to treat in the same
matter as the snake --promising to
restore him to life in two years. It is
understood that the man who under-
goes this experiment is to be pardoned.
Whether the government has accepted
or rejected the learned chemist's pro-
posal is not known.
A BOY ON to THE OX."
"Oxen is a. very slow enimel, they
are good to break ground up. I would
rather have horses if they didn't have

there was no horses the people would
have to wheel there wood on a wheel-

three days to wheal a cord • mile.
