A XaUnlM’* Startling Adventure in the Mountains of North Carolina. “Talking of snakes," said to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat man, “reminds me of an experience I had last autumn among the mountains of North Caro- olina. I had tramped about all day making sketches and collecting speci mens for my herbarium, and night found me a considerable distance from my house. The weather was frosty, and I built a big wood fire, and, rolling myself up In my overcoat, lay down be fore it. Toward morning the fire died down and I grew chilly and awoke. 1 started to rise for the purpose of re plenishing the fire when I found a large rattler coiled on my bosom. The motion awoke him and he raised his head and pat his vicious rattle in mo tion. His head was within ten inches of my face, so I concluded not to get up just then. I closed my eyes and lay still as death for what seemed an age, then cautiously opened them, lib snakeship was asleep. With a sudden bound I sprang to my feet, throwing my unwelcomed visitor among the em bers. Great soott, what a rumpus he did kick up! Instead of trying to get out he showed fight and whipped the coala rh«I ashes around at a lively rate. I didn’t enjoy the circus much, how ever, because another anake waa spring ing his rattle in my immediate neigh borhood and I couldn’t locate him. 1 Jumped here and there and stared about me, but all to no purpose, and I began to wonder if in my sleep I had inad vertently swallowed a rattler and he was getting np an alarm in my inter nal economy. Presently I caught sight of the critter. He waa hanging one- third of his length out of my overcoat pocket and looking for a good place to plant his poison. You have seen the lightning-change artists at variety shows get out of their toggery? Well, they are not a marker to the way I shucked that overcoat. I let the snake have it, and went down the mountain and sat on a gum stump and shivered with cold and apprehension until morn- W. P.

The corner stone of the white house was laid on October IS. 1702. a little lesa than three hundred years after the discovery of America by Columbus. The commissioners had on the previous March 14 advertised tor plans -for a president’s house, and on July -W .they held a meeting in Georgetown and ex amined the plans that haul been sub mitted. As it is part of local history now they accepted the plan of James Uoban, a Dublin architect, who had made designs for the house, framed, it is said, on the model of the mansion o! the duke of Leinster, at Dublin, ths palace of royalty in Ireland. The stone, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat, waa in part quarried at Aquia creek and brought to a new wharf, built for the purpose, near the foot of Seventeenth street, but obstinate David Burns, as Washington called him, re fused to allow the wagons to pass over his ground in carrying the atone to the alto of the white house, lie abused Mr. Hoban roundly, and if the city hall had been built and the present legal fashions then prevailed he would have got out an injunction; but it is doubtful if there waa then a judge nearer than Upper Marlboro or Annapolis,’ so, despite Burns’ opposition, the stone waa carted through his place and the whits house rose. No memorial of the cere monial of laying the corner stone has been discovered. It is certain that.the Virginia free masons, who had in 1791 laid one corner stone in the District of Colombia, and who in 1793 assisted in laying the corner stone of the capttol, did not participate in laying the corner stone of the white house. It was prob ably laid by Maryland masons. The building began to rise, however, and in right years was ready for occupancy. The donations of Maryland, 372,000, and of Virginia, 9190,000, assisted to pay for it, and in April, 1800, four months after Washington’s death, congress appropri ated 915,000 to pay for- its furniture.

Let me heah it, me boy." ’ . “We were speaking about you, and, in answer to a remark she made, I said you were not so big a fool as you looked, and she said she hoped not." “Haw, haw, she said that, did she? She’s a very agreeable girl, ia MUs Sharp.”—N. Y. Pres*.
