A Good, Healthy Snale Story.

In North Carolina there is a reptile
known as the Joint snake. When at.
tackled it flies in pieces, each piece tax
ing care of itself. A darky attacked
one o. them the other day. and to his
utter amazement il broke all ur, each
section jumping off in a different di-
rection. In the course of an hour h
returned tat way and WAS utterly
amazed again to see it all together eX-
cept the tail piece. Aftor waiting a few
minutes he saw the tail coming up to
join the body, taking sharp, gu ck little
Jerks. 1t came nearer and nearer until
within few inches of the three GUAR
ter snake, when it gave sudden jump
and hitched on in its proper place with
fuss resembling the popping OF cap.
The darkey knocked it 10 pieces several
times, and each time it came togethe
again. He carried his amusement too
far, however, in Throwing the tail part
of the snake across the creek, Just to
see, he said, show long t would take
it to catch up" but it n, yer caught up.
The snake, with its three joints, was
carried to the house, where a new tail is
beginning to grow to replace the lost
one. A gentleman who knows much
about til singular species says a head
will grow Oh the detached trunk, and
there will be TWO snakes Instead of one.

A Traders idea Of Reaching the Pole:

Mr.. Francois Mercier has lately re-
turned to Montreal from the most north
ern district of Alaska. near Behring' :
Straits. He has there been employed
in the fur trad ON the YonkOn kvet
and was the first American or Canadian
to arrive there after the sale Of ~Alaska
BY Russ TO the United States. Mr.
Merticr speaks the Es1uimau Ian ruage
fuently, as also several other indian iii
aleCtS used by the natives of the Arctic
regions, and relates several interest ln9
it ms as to the country III general. An
idea Of the cold experienced there may
be formed from the following thermo
metrical observations: On the lst al
De ember. 1892, the m nimum during
the day was fifty degrees Glow tFah-
rcnheiD and the ma llmun twenty dc.
grcel below zero. Taking the whole
month together, the miiimun was six

maximum ffty-ive degrees. The win
ter lasts about eight months. while the
four summer months are magnificent
weather. tine only drawback being the
plague of mosquitoes that / teraiy
blacken the air during the long, uD
broken day lasting many months.
Ducks, geese, swans, etc, begin tc
arrive about the end of April and lay
thousands of eggs on the banks anC
islands in the river. These are much
sought after by the natives and are ex-
cellent eating; in fact, Mr.. Mere e. says
there is no lack OF food of all sorts,
whilst for sports there are reindeer,
moose, black and brown Lear in the
interior and white boar on the coast
with salmon IN the larger r,ycrs and
trout in the streams. The Esqu mau
dogs, wnich are the drau"ht animals oi
the country are mostly fed on these
t.h when drel. Mr.. Mere er has not
a very high opinion of the noble REQ
men Of the North, but considers them
a lazy idle lot most inveterate beggarS
and ftl Of superstition.
AS to his opinion of an expedition
ever reaching the North Pole, he think:
1t never can he done without building
small stations en- route, a ter quitting
the ship for the ice; providing these
stations with food and all ntce 5saries
and leaving them in charge of small
parties; by this means only will the cX
ptdltion be enabled to advance and re
tire when necessary, tax ng advantage
OF some winter miider tan usual, and
thus push on for the pole. No vessel
can proceed much further than seventy

Roast Horse I'm Englsnd.

There are many people who prefer horse
