They were very much alive, could crawl and aid crawl, and they had eyes and Tangs and forked tongues and all tha other things which go with a well-ma- d and complete member of the reptilian species. I had gone out on a fishing trip with some friends up in Arkansas, and we were quartered In a lent onone oTThe best lakes In the southeastern section of the stats. It was during the hot season. ( never saw as many snakes in all my Ilfs as we found aronnd that lake, and they were of all alses, shapes and colors. The heat was so Intense it was during a severe drought of 1881 that all the snakes of that section gathered around the lake in an effort, no doubt, to keep cool. They would slip down to the waters edge, burrow in the mud and cut other curious capers because of the prevailing drought Late in the evening they would take a whirl at swimming, wriggling out into tha lake for some distance, and then pull back to the shore again. I mention these facts merely to show that snakes were plentiful in that section. Tbs heat had mads them desperate, hut we never anticipated any trouble from this source.

Huge Sums for Church Work Ons would not be surprised to learn that the attempt of tbs Northern Methodists to raise $20,000,000 as a twentieth century fund had been Abandoned as Impracticable, But the fact hM Is that $17,000,000 already been subscribed, and, the, remaining $3,000,000 may be fairly said to be In sight, says the Watchman of Boston. This great sum is to be devoted to treeing Methodist churches from debt, and for educational work. Methodism in the United 6tates tor the next five hundred years Is certain to receive n great mlghtylmpplse from this achievement. The September number . of thd Church Economist gives the result ot hew carefufHnvestlgation to show other denominations are getting on with their twentieth century funds The Methodists of Canada set their figures at $1,000,000, and they have raised $250,000 more than that, and the Presbyterians of Canada put their mark at $1,000,000. and have, already obtained $1,430,000, with A probability that they wUl receive $160,000 more. The English Methodists have raised $4,800,000; the English Congregatlon-Us- t. who sought $2,000,000. have secured $3,812,000; the English "Baptists, who put their figure at $1,250,000, have already received $1,000,000, and th Congregationalism of Wales, who set Would Prove a Dear GirL He wm asking the old man for bis daughter In mandate.

One of the interesting features connected with this movement Is that the raising of thesd huge sums hM not diminished regular contributions for denominational causes.
