The Little Snakes.

A barelegged boy riding rake on one
of the divides near the Santa Fe trail
dragged into the window a rattler; but
instead OF coiling and giving forth de-
fciant buzz, the snake manifested every
inclination to get off peaceably. The
average Kansas lad would have taken q
strap from his harness, given the reptile
two or three paralyzing taps, counted
the rattles, and gone on his way before
anybody discovered the rake was idle.
Notso did Billy Woodward, who is only
few months from County Donegal and
possessed of the abundant natural curios
ity of an Irish boy abroad. He got
down from his high seat and began to
study natural history The snake tried
to run away, but Billy "headed her of, :"
as he said afterward. Once or twice the
fugitive coiled and threatened to the
boys great delight. For fifteen minutes
the teasing went on, and then the snake
darted her head into hole in the prairie
sod. Perhaps third of her length was
concealed, while there came from under
ground a noise which the boy said
sounded like "a queer kind of clucz-
ing" BY the time he had got trace
chain loose the snake was out of the
hole and wriggling slowly toward the
uncut grass. Billy followed her up,
fetched her couple of cracks" and
supposed the sport was over.
Later in the day a party of hunters
came along and the boy exhibited his
trophy, and told what he had seen One
of the hunters. ranchman of varied ex-
perience, got out his pocket knife, and
with the remark that he guessed he
could show the others something about
rattlesnakes they never knew before,
stopped down and drew the sharp blade
across the thickest fold of the dead
snake. Out squirmed eleven young rat
tiers, all of a size, eight inches long and
as large around as lead pencil. They
were very lively family, and had to be
laid out one at time. Billy's eyes
grew big as he saw the revelation which
added the best part to his snake story.
The ranchman said that when overtaken
with her young the maternal rattler will,
as last means of protection, swallow
the little ones. She calls them with a
noise which is a combination of cluck
and whistle. Very rarely does it happen
that the act is witnessed. In all his ex-
perience the ranchman said he had never
seen this snake swallowing performance
Tut once. Then he had come upon the
mother snake and her young summing
among the stones. They had tried to
get away, but failing, the young had
glided into the mouth of the old one in
response to the peculiar call, and had
disappeared before his eyes, Globe
Democrat.

Drinking Habits Changing.

As proof of the great change in the
drinking habits of the people it is shown
by official statistics that the consumption
of ardent spirits in the country in the
first decade of this century averaged four
and half gallons annually ID each head
OF the population. The consumption of
spirits for drink has gradually declined
from that time, until now it does not
much exceed one gallon annually for
each inhabitant. The total amount of
spirits produced in the country and i'm
ported for consumption in 1860 was 9s,
96S, G51 gallons From this must be de.
Quoted an export of 1904, OS7 gallons,
which leaves SO, 3G4, 564 gallons for do.
mestic consumption. If %, 900, 900 gal
Ions be deducted for use in the arts and
manufactures, there remained 81, 364, 5G4
gallons for consumption for drink. In
1884 the total amount of liquors retained
J domestic consumption and imported
was 6s, 8O7, ,474 gallons If twelve per
f4nt. of this be deducted for the arts and
manufactures, co, 80, Cos Callons remain
for drink. In other words, 81, ,443, 321
inhabitants of the United States con-
sumed in 1860 more spirits for drink
than 90, 900, 900 inhabitants consumed
for drink in 1884. While the consump-
tion Of whisky is steadily declining, the
use of beer and light wines is increasing.

state and the owners OF the land on
which the grind was beached come ia
for ,heir share in the ''tithing whale"
and the ground whale, and then comes
the turn of the people who, young and
old, share and share alike. The baby in
the cradle gets as much as the head of u
family. or the ablest boatman. 2 he
women share with the rest. At good
catch the clergyman's share mey often
reach a money value OF three, four or
FIVE hundred dollars, and that of the
Others in proportion. The head alone
of full-grown grind whale (which is
good for nothing else) yields from fifty
to eighty quarts of oil, which, at
the price paid at the Government
stores, would make it worth
from five to seven or eight dollars. But
the head is the least item in the make
up of Grind. All Sudero has meat
enough since yesterday to last the year
round, and there are 9, 800 mouths 10
feed. Grind meat is not bad. Those
natives who have personal acquaintance
with good beef say that it is much like
it. May be it is. But for the o ly taste
that to a native is its most alluring quail
ity, one might perhaps discover points of
similarity. Boiled salt Grind meat IRE
member that the whale is warm blooded
mammal and not a fish with potatoes
and blubber form an islanders dream of
heaven. There is only one thing that he
prefers, and just now it is in process of
preparation-may a kind fate send us
favoring breezes and speedy deliverance
from Sudero-the meat fresh, dried in
the sun and the air until it is just Ramy
enough to please the palate. Strips and
chunks of Grind meat are being hung al
ready on every wall to dry. In week
the thousand stenches of Cologne will be
as nothing to the single stencil of Sudero.

Flour Barrels.

Flour barrels are source of great ex-
pense TO the people of this country. Say
there are $4,000, 900 of barrels of flour
consumed in this country each year, and
say that there are $4,000, 600 of people
who buy it by the barrel, there might be
saved to the people of this country
81, 400, 900, saying that twenty cents per
barrel is saved by purchasing -four in
sacks. Really it may be little more than
this, especially so in muslin sacks, the
muslin being valuable for further use.
These is more -four than this sold in
barrels, but in the larger cities the
bakers sell the barrels for twenty and
twenty-five cents apiece, which repre-
sents loss of from ten to twenty cents
a barrel. Tile Milestone.
