s.Do you see that fellow up thcrc?"
said Mr.. Rivers, pointing TO u huge red
snake, some ten feet long aud two
inches thick. of the kind known rs the
gopher snake. '.Fd rather have that
fellow on my farm--if l had farm
than ten dollars. You would be as
tonished ut the amount of vermin of all
kinds they can get away witll-gophers,
rabbits, squirrels. birtis-anything. in
fact, that he is big enough to get hi.n-
self outside of, and that means good
deal, although you might not think it
to look at him. You are aware, sup.
pose, of the peculiar construction of the
lower jaw. 1t can be unhinged. so to
speak, and then the snake is nothing
more than \ long sack with the mouth
open. l have watched one of them
stow away a squirrel--lOng tail and all
without making any bones about it.
He commenced at the head, and slowly
drow the squirrel in, bit by bit, his
teeth and jaws working on the animal
somewhat rs man draws in n rope
hand over hand. Finally the body was
safely housed, and then only the tail
remained; that slipped down in the
twinkling of an eye. L never realized
till then why snakes were made so long;
it is to make room for the inconvenicnt
tales of the other animals predestined
to be snake meat. In an improved
state of existence, when the tails have
been evolutionized off the backs of the
other animals, probably snakes will be
cut shorter. ."-ISun Francisco CaU

The French Army.

The military correspondent of the
St. james Gazette says. the French
army maneuvers as exhibited recently
are very unsatisfactory to all who wish
to see France take her place again IS u
strong military power. 1t is evident
that the officers are not yet half up to
their work, nor the men half trained.
Reckless exposure in mass to the en-
emy's fire, extreme carelessness in out
post duties-an old fault of the French
army-volleys fired at All enemy's guns
at ranges of two thou sand yards when
his infantry was much nearer and more
dangerous at the moment, expenditure
of ammunition and no means of sup
plying the deficiency. loss of opportu-
mites for attacking at the right mo-
ment. no measure taken for meeting a
flanking movement. officers kicking The
mcn-all these things show q condition
of complete unreadiness for war. 1t
may be said that the pick of the peace
army is now either IN Africa or on its
way there, but this does not mend the
matter. 1t only shows that France has
blundered in great matters as much rs
her legiOns do in the details of every
day tactics. The common reply of
English officers 10 criticisms on minor
faults is that they-will right themselves
in5war, and perhaps the French say the
same. But nothing can be more untrue
or unsafe to. act upon. 1t would bc
quite as accurate to assert t:iat lawyers
would be successful in conducting their
ease, or doctors in Saving their patients,
if they left till the moment OF action
all thought and study of cases in gem
eral. If all nations were equally care
less there would be less danger; but for
France, in the presence Of Germany
and italy, such folly is little less than
suicidal.

Snipe On Toast.

burg. l saw OH bill OF fare:
'.Snipe on toast, 60 cents"
Snipe on toast would be almost too
healthy food to feed people who had
been floating on a raft three weeks,
feeding on boot legs. Says l to the
waiter:
"Give me some snipe on toast"

some toast. and kept on reading. l

snipe?" ssas

The Lost Sardine Opener.

Every well-rcgulated family should
have its own private, exclusive and al
WAYS hsndy sardine-opener, for of such
is the kingdom of serenity. In this
opinion we are braced by our friend
Scollops of the retail firm Of Frills &
Scollops. His domestic Mecca is. y
snug. semi-rural hnme on Jersey City
Heights. Scollors is addicted to- sar-
dimes; in fact he is so passiOnatcly fond
of the oil-Soaked dclicacy, that iie gets
tearing mad when the folks up at the
house use the last box and inform him
of it Just as he has decided on having
noon-day wrcstle with his favortc
lunch. Then he RACES like the dog-star
on stills. But, ''to our relations" as
the poor nephews said when they heard
that Uncle Ben Stivcrs had cornored
half million on Hannibal and st. 10.
Scollops has a servant girl who Of kitch-
en-ware aud tools is the champion util-
izer To her sardinc-openor hath
many aspects. 1t is consccutivcly a
tack hammer. an ice-pick. a stovc-plate
litter, a screw-driver and pot-cleaner.
How often Scolops has annihilated
that guileless maid-of-all-work with his
vocal dynamite. can only be numeri-
cally rivaled by DR.. Bliss bulletins.
One day in the recent drouthy August,
the sar,line-opener was in active de-
mand. Nobody could find it. Scol-
lops fumed, Mrs. S. flouted, and the
servant girl hunted, but the missing
utensil was as non est as the noblest
work of the Almighty. They searched
high and low. Closcs were reopened
with nervous jerks, and drawers banged
to with unsavory dictionary words.
Just as virtue had ceased to be pa
tient, the missing article was found
tightly wc,iged in a suspected rat-hole.

marks, and dockcd the girls wages 81

WASHINGTON NOTES.


Washington. June 14.-Miss M. NJ.
Gillett, of Wisconsin, was appointed
notary public for the District of Co
lumbia. This is the first instance
where a woman has received such an
appointment from president.
The treasury investigation committee
to-day submitted a preliminary report
to secretary Window of the evidence
found against the custodians depart
ment. The committee report that they
found a regularly organized ring,
which has been in existence for several
years and has been misappropriating
money and defrauding the government.
Grants outspoken condemnation of
the administration has added force to
the whisperings that q stalwart con-
gresham will. after congress meets,
antagonize the administration. The
talk heretofore seems to have come
from disappointed office seekers, but
Grants opposition creates an impress
sion that it will be done. A prominent
Conklingite to-day said the purpose of
Grant, Conkling and friends would be
to drive Blaine from the cabinet, by
threatening to disturb the republican
supremacy in the senate and house.
The administration thinks slightingly
OF the talk. and is confident that two
administration senators will be re-
turned in place of Conkling and Platt.

London, Ont, June 14.-The jury
find that the capsizing of the steamer
Victoria was caused from water in the
hold, which probably leaked in through
the hole made by a stone or snag. The
boiler was not securely fastened, and
the staunchions supporting the upper
deck we're too slender and weak. The
engineer was grossly negligent in not
letting the captain know of the danger
GUS condition of the boat. The captain
is blamed for being both wheelsman
and captain, and having too little time
for both positions; and he is blamed for
not properly examining the boat before
leaving Spring Bank. The manager
failed in his duty in not employing
enough hands for the boat, and In not
having it inspected; and the govern
ment inspectors are to blame for pass
ing boat which was SO unfit to carry a
large load of passengers. The jury
urged the government to be more strin.
