fJUT SNAKES CHARM BIRX)8t
Observer lari He MM.au Bmm It Dome,
How Snakes Swallow Frogs.
Three different Incidents of snakes
oh arming birds have fallen under my own
observation, says a writer in tne St. Louis
Reporter. Once I saw a bluejay charmed
by what is commonly known as the "blue
racer," and the next was a oatblrd
charmed by a "cow sucker." As these
enakes are classed as non-poisonous, they
could not have bitten the birds and then
quietly awaited their death. In the first
case the bird was in an apple tree, some
ten or twelve feet from the ground, when
its attention was first arrested. The
other two were somewhat under the in
fluence of the snake's oharm when first
observed. I would judge that it takes
from one to two hours for a snake to
bring a bird completely under the spell,
which they can most certainly do if not
disturbed after the bird's attention is
once gained.
I have never seen a snake oharm a
frog, though I have seen them catch
frogs often. They are more than a match
for the frog in a foot race ; consequently,
they have frog legs to eat whenever they
wish, provided the frogs can be found.
The greatest trouble is to swallow the
frog after catching him. The frog is
swallowed heels first. Whether this is a
preference on the part of the snake or
whether it is because this is the first part
overtaken and laid hold of, I do not
know. When caught, the poor frog cries
out in the most pitiful terror. Then the
struggle of life and death begins, with
determined animal instinct on the part
of the snake ; nay, I might say with dev
ilish triumph for he knows that victory
is sure in the end and almost human
horror on the frog's part. The instant
the snake seizes a hind leg it is swal
lowed, and the hard part of the job is to
get hold of the other leg without releas
ing the one he already has.
The frog soon finds it useless to strug
gle to release the leg already swallowed
by the snake, and seems to realize that
its only hope is to keep the leg that is
free out of that horrible mouth which
has such wonderful suction power. I
once saw a garter snake push a frog over
thirty yards endeavoring to force the leg
of the frog that was free against some
obstruction, that it might get a bold on
tnat also. It finally succeeded, and the
struggle was soon over after that. When
both hind legs are once in the snake's
power a deeper horror seems to take
possession of the poor littU creature
who has battled so hard for life ; its eyes
dilate with terror and assume a glassy
stars, its whole body is stupefied, para
lyzed with an awful dread of its impend
ing fate. The snake, does not swallow ;
it crawls over its prey. It does so by
means of strongly contracting muscles in
the throat. m

Rheujnatism and Catarrh.
Rheumatism and catarrh are both
blood diseases. In many severe cases
they have yielded to treatment with B.
B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), made by
Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga. Write
for book of convincing proofs. Sent
free.
R. P. Dodge. Atlanta, Ga., says: My
wife had catarrh and nothing did her
good. Her constitution finally failed
and poison got into her blood. I placed
her on a use of B. B. B., and to my sur
prise her recovery was rapid and com
plete. "
W. P. McDaniel Atlanta, Ga writes
"I was much emaciated and had rheu
matism so bad I could not get along
without crutches. I also had neuralgia
in the head. First class physicians did
me no good. Then I tried B. R. B.,and
its effects were magical. I cheerfully
recommend it as a good tonic and quick
cure."
Mrs Matilda Nichols, Knoxville, Tenn
writes: I had catarrh six years and a
most distressing couh, and my eyes
were much swollen. Five bottles of B.
B. B., thank God! eured me."
John M. Davis, Tyler, Texas, writes:
"I was subject a number of years to
spells of inflammatory rheumatism,
which six bottles of B. B. B.' thank
heaven, has entirely cured. I have not
felt the slightest pain 6ince."
