A Trade in Reptile Skins.

Ratflesmake Ornament for Ladies. lLong Eddy, N. r., Letter to the New Yerk TiIaes.l
 John Geer, of Long Eddy. who has more than local reputation as professional rat tlesnake hunter, has now on hand several dozen very large specimens of this danger ous but beautiful reptile, which he expects to put to a somewhat novel use this season, which is the tanning of their skins by pro cess which preserves their elasticity and the brilliancy of their markings, leaving them in shape to be made into ladies' belts, satcheIs, slippers and other articles for female use and adornment. East season the craze for rattle snake skins broke out among the summer boarders at many of the mountain resorts in Sullivan county, and 1t rapidly spread throughout the entire region The catching of the reptiles has been fer years carried on with more or less profit by numbers of back woodsnen, as there is always a demand for them from RhoWmen. and the oil which is tried from the flesh Is highly prized among the natives as an ointment. The demand for the skins Rs toilet accessories arose in this way:

recent case of Mir. Hilton, an engineer excites the more attention. Some fifteen years ago he was appointed manager Of the immense mining estates owned by Pashkon, in the Ural Mountains. These have only been once visited by PashkoR, hence all meas ures for ameliorating the lot of the peasants have emanated from the manager. Among these were the establishment and supervision of school for peasant children; and short time ago he had occasion to complain at the m4nner in which 1t was carried on by the village priest. Intellectual remonstrances ended in a threat to temporarily close the school unless better carried on. The priest reported this direct to Count Tolstoi, Min istev of the Interior, said to be fanatic in religious matters, and the latter, without inssituting any inquiry, is alleged to have tel egraphed an order to the police that MT. Hil- ton was to leave the country in forty eight hours. Subsequently he was allowed to stay at the capital for 8 few weeks to close his affairs, on condition that he does not attempt to return to his former abode. A refusal to investigate the case has been given by the

THE GOOD CITIZEN N PoLITIOs

THE GOOD CITIZEN IN POLITICS.
 Rev. Washington Gladden. in the Century for June gives some advice concerning the duty of intelligent and patriotic citizens with respect to political parties. He says among other things: Join one party or the other. Go into the eaucuses if you can get In. Take your pluck and your independence along with you. Tell the gentlemen in charge that you are interested in the success of the par ty, and that you want to help keep 1t in s shape in which it will deserve so succeed. Give them distinctly to understand that, while you ask nothing for yourself, you in> tend to take 8 hand in shaping the party poll icy and in making the nominations; and shat you will be guided in all this. by a supreme regard of national interests rather than personal interests. If. in spite of your protests, they make bad nominations, bolt he nominations and return to the charge the next time, taking with you as many as you can of your well intent toned neighbors If you preserve your temper and use reason and keep standing up for men and things that are honest and of good report, perad- venture they will listen to you at length and you may succeed in lifting up the standards and in purifying party management
 This is an attractive theory, and it seems as if it ought to work. But it will not al- ways. The trouble with this policy is, as the Boston Herald we'll says, that, as parties are now managed, especially in large cities, g patriotic citizen stands much better chance of getting his head broken in ''taking his pluck and independence along with him,' and attempting to 'fshape the party policy and make the nominations" than he does to control the caucus ':It is like fighting drilled veterans with raw recruits, or reform ing gambling shop by going in with your well intentioned neigh bors.' and insisting upon a fair deal and square game. If the caucuses could be held under the protection of law, and the polls kept open all day, as at the regular election, and if even fifty per cent. of the voters could be persuaded to go and indicate their preferences in the matter of nominations, means could ba devised to prevent cheating, the caucus would be more nearly true to it's original pur- pose, and might be made an instrument for keeping the party upon higher level. But as the primaries are now held and managed, the professional caucus ixers will beat the patriotic citizens out of sight, as the recent pretended reorganization of the Republican machine in New York city again proved"
 We fear that intelligent and patriotic cit- izens will not for some time be able to com pete in caacuses with ''the boys" But they can be independent at the polls, and in that way teach ''the boys' something.

 Deserted Within a Week.
 From the Pittsburg Commercial GAzsttel
 Yesterday afternoon an old man, soms six ty years of age, was noticed walking back and forth across the platform of the Lake Erie depot. Every few moments he would stop, draw a red silk handkerchief from his pocket and wipe the tears from his eyes Fiji nally his grief became so great that he could no longer control himself, and he began in curing of the railroad officials whether they had noticed young lady, pretty blonde, around the depot. He described her dress and her appearance infinitely, and was told that such 8 person had been there in the morning, but was gone hours before. Straightway the old gentleman went to AL derman Lohrman's ofice To the magistrate he said his name was Edward Bycroft; that his wife had left him and he wanted war rant issued for her arrest He was accom- modated and with the aldsrman's constable waited patiently until the 3:15 train was due but the little woman whom the old man longed to see had left on the Chicago express at 12:O5 She had left 8 couple of trunks behind that were checked through to Chicago and marked to John Douglass, of the latter city The old gentleman took passage on the same train that bore his wife's baggage in hopes of catching her in Chicago. Before leaving, however, he told the story of his courtship and marriage and his brief stay ia tbis city.
 He came here from Michigan day or two in company with the lady in question and stopped at the Central Hotel. Owing to the difference in their ages-she in her teens and he about sixty-it was thought best to leave the community in which they were both we'll known and go to 8 strange place. get married and ivs together quiet and undis- turbed life. They were married here on Wednesday and the old gentleman, in com pany with his fair young bride, visited seve- ral parts Of the city searching for 8 home Yesterday forenoon the young wife said to her husband that she would take a stroll about the city and buy some furniture for their new home. This pleased him and he gave her $35O and told her to purchase whatever WISE needed. She dressed herself in 8 handsome siik dress and was about to kiss hsr husband goodbye when he grew ner- yous and wanted to accompany her. The willy oung lady said it was very warm and he had better stay at the hotel and enjoy 8 smoke. The husband did as he was request ed. but after waiting patiently for several hours for her to return he grew uneasy and started out to hunt her. The first suspicion he had that all was not right was when he learned that their trunks had been taken away. He traced them to the Lake Erie de- not and saw that they were marked and checked to Chicago. He wanted no further evidence to confirm the fact that his pretty young wife lad left him. MT. Bycroft is a pleasant and fine looking gentleman. He left almost heart-broken, and said he never suspected that his wife would treat him so.

Initiative Ssnae of Monkeys. TEror,o %ha GoI3a, uoursI

Monkeys are saucy and insolent, always making an attempt to bully and terrify peo- pie and biting those first who are the most afraid of them. An impertinent curiosity runs through all their actions; they never can let things alone, but must know what is going forward. If pot or kettle is set on the fire, and the cook turns her back, the monkey whips o fl the cover to see what she has put into it. even if he cannot get at it without putting his feet upon the hot bars of the grate. Every monkey delights in mis- chief. If he takes up bottle of ink he enpties it upon the floor. He unfolds all room, and what he cannot undo he tears to pieces and it is wonderful to see how much of this work he will do in few minutes when he happens to get loose When the wild monkeys have escaped to the tops of the trees the people below who want to catch them show them the use of gloves by putting them on and pulling them of repeatedly, and, when the monkeys are supposed to have taken the hint, they leave plenty of gloves upon the ground, having first lined them with pitch. The monkeys come down, put on the gloves, but cannot pull them off again, and when they are surprised. betaking them selves to the tree as usual, they slide back ward and are taken.
 late friend and neighbor of mine in the country kept monkey who took to riding his hogs, especially one of them, which he commonly singled out as the Attest for his use, and, leaping upon his back, with his face toward his tail he whipped it unmerci- fully and drove it till it could run no longer A well known nobleman once had & wild horse whom nobody could ride. II know not what your lordship can do with him, but to set the monkey upon his back" So they put a pad on the horse and set the mon- key upon it with switch in his hand, which he used on the horse and set him into furi ous kicking and galloping but Peg kept bis seat and exercised his switch. The horse lay upon the ground but when he threw himself on one side the monkey was upon the other. He ran into wood with him to brush him of, but if tree occurred On one side the monkey slipped on the other side; till at last the horse was so sickened, fatigued and broken spirited, that he ran home to the stable for protection. When the monkey was removed, a boy mounted him, who man aged the horse with ease, and he never gave any trouble after ward. If all the qual:.. ies of monkey are put together, they constitute what is properly called il-ne.Sur aud if any person would know --l.lat an ill-natured man IS, that IS monkey to all intents and pur- poses, with the addition of reason which makes his character much worse.

 The little Widow Thumb is casually resi- dent of New York, and a welcome visitor in fashionable families. She is lady now so mature and dignifsd, notwithstanding her diminutive size, that nobody in the way of social intercourse dsres, or is much inclined, to treat her as human trife. To see her in the midst of 8 round of calls is to get the impression, at first sight. that your eyes have somehow suddenly become telescopic inverse ly, so exactly is she miniature of the con- ventiopal danes of ceremonious society.

The County Superintendent
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle

To the Editor OF the Daily EAGLE.
ILLINOIS TOWNSHIP, Oct. 8.
l find that some people have no idea OF
what is fair or manly the moment that they
hear of politics. NowI cannot see any rea-
son why we cannot be ms honorable in poll
tics as in anything else. These ideas were
brought to my mind by hearing some con-
versation in Wichita by some in regard to
the question Of the county superintendent,
and the reason given for opposing Ham,
mond. 1t was simply the fact that some
failed TO get certificates at the examination.
Now il seems TO me that such contempt j.
bic course as that is without shadow Of an
excuse, for il is well known that the examin-
ations of this county are noted for their
practical questions, and those tending to find
out the teachers general knowledge and if a
person fails TO get ms good u certificate as
they expect, or fail entirely, it shows that
they have very poor idea of what is right,
for if person fails to get certificate and
think they have been defrauded, they should
know that it is the simplest thing to find out,
and l think If those that are bowling about
the number Of votes they can control Ham,
mond, would get copy Of their examine
ton papers (which they know the superin-
tendent keeps for his own protection) and
exhibit them to the public, they would be
doing good thing for Hammond and the
voters would say that the examiners, mot
the superintendent alone), did good thing
for the public by Withholding certificate.
Now boys stop your bowling or own up
that yoa want the examiners TO sign you a
certificate because you can't earn il and show
a copy Of your papers if you dare.
Yours. SrRrR.
