A SNAKES WONDERFUL FEAT.
A Boa Swallowing q Blanket as R .msdy
for Declining Health.
[Trom the Philadelphia Timcs.I

[Trom the Philadelphia Timcs.I
Speaking of snakes, yesterday
Superintendent Brown, of the Zoo
logical Garden, said that he could
tell snake story, and not second
hand one either. About year
ago one of the large reptiles in the
collection took sick and seemed to
be going into decline. Nothing
that they could give him appeared
to do him good, and from loss of
appetite and sleeplessness the snake
became a mere wreck of its former
self. A large blanket had been
placed in the .serpents cell for him
to sleep upon. One morning the
keeper found that the blanket lad
disappeared. Search was made
throughout the cage, but without
success. At the same time the
snakes body had swelled to the
thickness of good sized sapliDc.
He had swallowed the blanket
But the blanket would not oiges',
and the snake became sicker than
before. In this manner he lolled
around like a wan dispectic for over
four weeks. Finally the blanket
was discharged by natural causes.
Imm medistely the snake began to
improve. The swelling of his body
gradually dwindIed down, and he
grew larger and fatter than before,
till the box became too small to
hold him. The keepers then re-
moved him to a larger cage. lie
ate like q gourmand, and at times
found room for two or three times
the customary quantity of food.
The blanket acted as a sort o: med.
icine upon his stomach and cleaned
him out entirely. Now he is fif-
teen feet long, eighteen inches in
circumference, and is the health
lest boa constructor of the lot. A
change Of CO o. was the My visible
effect on the blanket. Under the
microscope it showed that it had
become little worn by being rub
bed in the animals stomach. 1t
came out undigested, and it was
carefully packed away IN the Su-
perintendent's private Office, where
it now lies.

THERE is an idea arising out of
the recent Berlin treaty that will
be of interest to the Hebrew race.
It is to the effect that, under the
protectOrate which it is intended
that England shall assume over
Turkey in Asia, Palestine will pass
with other provinces of that En-
pire under British control, which
virtually means under the control
of Disraeli, the English Prime
Minister, who is an Israelite. It is
even stated that it is the intention
of Lord Beaconsfield to have q
Jewish Governor appointed for the
Holy Land. Whether this Is also
o part Of that now famous pro-
gramme set out by him in his
novel of Tancred, over thirty years
ago, for the restoration of Asiatic
supremacy in the worlds affairs or
not, and which appears to have
been literally followed in the Ber-
lin treaty, it is another instance of
the far reaching schemes and wide
sagacity Of Britsin's occult Pre-
mier.

THE European correspondent Of
the New York Herald gives what
he claims to be a conversation that
recently occurred at Varzin be-
tween General Grant and Prince
Bismarck. The San Francisco
Call, referring to it in Its Mondays
issue, said:
Circumstances made one o Re
publican and the other q monarch
ist, but their methods differ only
in detail. This was apparent Ia
their brief talk about Communism.
Speaking of the attack on the
Emperor's life, Grant is represent
ed as saying that "the influence
which aimed at the Emperor's life
was an influence that would de-
stroy all government, all order, all
society, republics and empires"
"In America" said Grant, "some
of our people are, as 1 see by the
papers, anxious about 1t. There is
but one way 10 deal with 1t, and
that is by the severest methods"
Again he said, referring to crim-
inals, "All you can do with such
people Is to kill lhem." precisely
So" was Bismarck's reply.
Both being military men, their
only cure is to kill. And these are
put forth as the modern statesmen
of an enlightened, Christian age!

Lord's rria,-New Evid once.

VENTURA, August 6th.-In the
trial of Lord to-day the prosecu
ton closed at Roon and the defense
occupied the afternoon. On cross
examination, Jones, the States ev-
idence, went back on his several
previous sworn statements by tes-
tifying that he did not 90 to the
ground to kill anybody; he did not
know what he went for. Hither-
to, with the utmost nonchalance,
Jones has admitted that he went
to assist in the perpetratIon of the
murder and arson. A man named
Cyrus Kenny, who Is we'll known
and much respected, was called by
the defense and created sensation
by his testimony. He swore that
on the night of the murder he was
awakened by dogs barking at
stock and he got up and drove
them from his grain. The second
time he got up he saw Lord in his
night clothes talking to Hunt, who
was on horseback. This exactly
confirms the statement of the two
prisoners. When asked why he
had not divulged this knowledge
long before, witness said he was
afraid Of the prosecutors, that
when Hunt told what he knew he
was at once charged with the
crime and arrested to destroy his
evidence and witness feared the
same fate. He said Hunt was ar
rested for this reason only. Mr..
