SNAKES IN IRELAND.-Once a Week cor
reefs the common notion that there are moi
snakes in Ireland, as follows: "a correspon
dent informs us that not only do serpents and
frogs manage to exist in Ireland, but that
they absolutely swarm, the latter especially,
in the country districts-notably in the coun.
~ Of Dublin and the Queens county. But
- the snakes are there, and old authorities
maintain that ireland was free from them un-
til comparatively recent times, the fact re-
mains that somebody must have imported
them. One account gives it out that they
were first propagated from spawn, introduced
= an experiment., in 1895, by a Fellow of
Trinity College, Dublin another, that gen.
tleman imported number of vipers from
England into Wexford, about the year 1907,
but that they died Immediately after. In the
summer Of 1881, however, a gentleman by
way OF experiment, brought a few pairs of
tne common snake from Scotland, and placed
them In plantation as Milccross, near New
tonards; and the readiness with which they
multiplied was more alarming than pleasant.
The late Marquis of W-d, we'll known in
his day for his strange freaks, is said to have
tried the same experiment on his own estates,
but with no success" o-'''''''

aggregate of the investments Of the State

State tax law has provided a revenue of s94.-
1888. and cost about $1,000 to assess and
collect it. He admits, however, that said tax
law contains several Objectionable provisions,
the principal one being the imposition of spe
cial taxes on particular classes OF individuals
and also its mode of assessment and collection
which is inconvenient and complicated He
