SNAKES.
Ophidians That Abound in the Penjdeh
Valley.

Ophidians That Abound in the Penjdeh
Valley.
Remittent fever has of late years
played sad havoc among the Jamshidis
of Kushk. All the neighboring valleys,
including Penjdeh, are infected, and
are only habitable in spring and sum-
mer by the acclimatized. Another draw
back to this valley is the number of
snakes which infest it. In spring the
country must swarm with them; at
present they are to be found, when
there is occasion to dig some eighteen
inches or two feet below the surface,
alternating in sleepy torpor.
Before winter closed in, one of the
Lancers-a strong, healthy young fell
low-very nearly fell victim to one of
these reptiles. When picking up q
stone he was bit in the back of the
hand and he owed his life to his own
prompt presence of mind and Dr.
Charles care and skill. Tearing off a
strip of his turban he bound it tightly
so tightly that in the hospital they could
not tighten it-rOund the arm above the
wrist He then made off for the hos
pital, and half an hour after being
bitten he was under DR.. Charles care.
But already there were signs of paralysis
in the left leg, and this gradually
spread till both extremities were COM
pletely paralyzed. He suffered from
great heat, followed by intense cold,
tingling and numbness in the arms and
legs, and much pain over the heart
his heart was 'on fire." he complained.
Altogether his case, after an hour or
so, seemed hopeless. He was piled
with brandy and ammonia, and made
to walk till his legs were deadened by
paralysis, and then he was put between
hot blankets, and hot bricks We're APP
piled to his feet. Hypodermic injection
of ether was found very useful, and at
last, after three hours of unremitting
care, he slowly passed out of danger;
and DR.. Charles has the satisfaction of
being one of the few who have sue
cessfully treated snake bite. How
ever, the man did not completely re-
cover at once. He suffered from blood
poisoning, and it was three weeks be-
fore he was discharged from hospital. -

"a uiklhS Tramps Who Dog Women UatiI
They Get Money frsm Them.

i1uIklng Tramps Who Dog Women UatiI
They Get Money frsm Them.
Il doubt very much" said a gentle
man who recently returned to town
after a long absence, ''if New Workers
realize what a pestiferous nuisance
street begging has become. Before
went to Europe, in 1879, there were old
men and women grinding o:gans on
New York street corners. with old cigar
boxes resting on the cutters for such
pennies as people chose to throw them.
Occasionally people saw rag pickers
collecting bits of bread and the like
from door to door, and now and then
an able-bodied tramp soliciting assist
ance. But all this is vastly different
from the begging which one must en-
dure on every side now. If | come out
OF my hotel in the morning and stand
on the corner waiting for stage, am
beset by two or three men before | can
climb into the vehicle. There are gangs
OF tramps who Turk about in the vcin-
ity of the Union and Knickerbocker
Clubs and regularly annoy the mem
bers. Public parks are also affected by
the be@gars.
''Another thing which struck me
yesterday was the number of big hulk
ing tramps who beg from women.
These dirty and disagreeable-looking
specimens actually intimidate and
annoy women into giving them aims.
One of them yesterday followed my
70 To-. hlDolyg al
just below Twenty-third Street, walking
beside her and annoying her so that,
finally, she was obliged to give him a
dime to get rid of him. At the foot of
the elevated railroad stations at
Twenty-third, Fourteenth, and nearly
all OF the uptown stops, one can always
find one or two of these men. They
do not beg from every passer by, but
single out their victims and approach
them with apparent respect.
but if the men are bad the children
are worse. There are gangs of these
young mendicants who are fit subjects
for police attention. They cry and
whine about having no place to sleep
and nothing to eat and SO succeed in
reaching their victims pocket. If a
man is in hurry he has to push these
little beggars aside before he can get
ahead. Some of them sell evening
papers, but the majority are simply
mendicants. l suppose some of this
is the result of hard times. But with
New York's ample charity institutions
it should be possible to keep these street
beggars at least under control. There
can be no doubt in the minds of men
who know anything about it that two
thirds of the street beggars are frauds
of the most palpable description. -

Bustles, SteeIs, Etc.

Bustles are worn very large because
there is tendency to do away with
masses of drapery on the tournure. The
separate hustle for each dress is a
cushion or pillow of hair made thicker
than it was last season, and tackled
through with threads at intervals to
keep the hair from mating; this is
sewed permanently to the belt, and be-
low it are two steels run in castings
across the back of the foundation skirt.
When pad hustle is objected to,
modstes use q third steel in casing
about eight inches below the belt, cut
ting it in two for the opening of the
placket-hole, and putting hook and
eye at the end of the casing to fasten it.

The Anamese Aristocrat.

The upper class of Anamese have
modelled their life and manners as
closely on those of the same class in
China as their circumstances would
permit They dress much the same,
but in silk of less glossy hue. They
never wear their hair en- queue. They
either wear sandals or 90 barefooted.
When they appear in public it is with a
certain number of huge umbrellas or
parasolS, some before or beside them to
indicate their rank. The number has
been considerably abridged since the
occupation of Tonquin by the Chinese.
The vehicle in which they travel is a
horselike palanquin or hammock,
covered by an oval roof, bent down at
the sides. The dignitary always re-
clines, and is entirely screened from the
vulgar gaze by curtains that entirely
fill the uncovered openings. He is at
tended by multitude of coolies, who
carry, beside the parasols, his betel-nut
box, spittoon and any other articles
which may be wanted during the excur-
sion.-COr. 81. Louis GLobe-Democrdt

Do you think | will tell lbDtG just which one!
BE careful, now; look where you jump!
Okla lee. O-ka-lee!

- oh, fine is this bright, warm weather!
The tender leaves whisper around;
The sh2d-birch now whitenS the hill-sides,
And violets sprinkle the ground.

And dreadfully hate keeping house.

TITLED FOREIGNERS.

The Secret of the Fascination They Exert
Upon the Frank and Free-born Yankee
Maiden. I'D.
American girls who marry foreigners
are supposed to have but one motive
alteration of titles-but one excuse for
their folly, the influence and encourage
ment of mothers siller than their off
spring. 1t is foreigner, one who not
only travelled in the United States, but
lived for several years in the best society
of New York and Boston, who furnishes
a better reason for such marriages than
any given by Americans who have at
tempted to find the secret of the fascna-
ton foreigners exert upon the frank and
freedom Yankee maiden. Says this
observant stranger:
''Mcn-ladies' men-are terribly
scarce in America, where husbands and
fathers, brothers and cousins, mostly
a, business men, are off early in the morn
ing after an early breakfast only to be
back in the evening for a late dinner or
supper; and they come home worn out
with work, debased by greed, untitled
for ladies' company by want of con-
genial education and polish, of sym
pathy with female pursuits, or apprecia-
ton of female talents and graces.
Hence it is that male visitor, a
man free from engagements and with
indefinite time at his disposal willing
to devote himself to women, to humor
them, to take some interest in their not
very serious or heavy occupations, is
