Christians are the stars of this lower

SPIDERS KILL A SNAKE.
They Hang Him Up ana Feed Up)n
Hin.

lliey hanS illm Up ana Feed CpJl
Him.
On the evening Of the 18Th in
slant a gentleman found in his
wine cellar live stripel snake,
nine inches long, snspenl,I be-
tween two shelves by the tail, by
spiders web. The snake was
hung so that his head could not
reach the shelf below him by an
inch, and several large spiders
were then upon him sucking his
juices. The shelves were about
two feet apart, and the lower one
was just below the bottom of the
cellar window, through which the
snake probably passed. into it.
From the SHELF above it there was
web in the shape OF IA inverted
cone, eight or ten inches in diam
eter at the top, AMI concentrated
t. a focus, abolt six inches from
the unaersile OF this shelf. From
this focus there was a strong cord
male OF the multiplied threads of
the spiders web, apparently as
large rs common sewing silk, and
by this cord the snake was sus-
pen lei.
Upon a critical examination
through magnifying glass the
following curious facts appeared:
The mouth Of the snake was fast
tel up by a great number Of
threads, woun& around it so tight
that he coaid not put out his
tongue. His tail was tied il a
knot SO as to leave small loop
or ring through which the cord
was fastened, and the end Of the
tail above this loop to the length
of something over half an inch
was lashad fast to the cord to
keep it from slipping.
As the snake hung the length
Of the corl from his tail to the
focus to which it was fastened was
about six in 3hos, pnl Il little above
the tail there was observed a
round ball about the size Of pea.
Upon inspection this appeared to
be green fly, around which the
cord hal been wound as the wind
lass nth which the snake had
been haulod a., AMI great num-
Der OF threl Is were fl stoned to
the corl above and to the rolling
side OF this ball to keep it from
unwinliHg AMI letting the snake
DOM. The cord, therefore, mast
have been exten led from the TO-
cas- Of the web to the shelf below,
where the snake was lying when
first cltturel, and being made
fast to the loop in his tail, the fly
was carried AMI fastened about
midway to the side of the cord.
And then by rolling this fly over
and over it wound the cord around
it, both from above and below it,
until the snake was raised to the
proper height, and then was fas~
tened as aoOve mentioned. In
this situation the suffering snake
hung, alive: and furnished con-
tinual feast for several large spi-
ders until Satu rday forenoon, the
10th, when some persons, by play
ing with him, broke the web above
the focus 50 as to let part of his
boly rest on the shelf below. In
this situation he fingered, the spi-
ders taking no notice Of him, I'm

ter he was discovered-when some

day while looking down over the
Senate of the Unitel States.
While doing SO, an elderly Sen
Rtor with long, white whiskers and

man, ordered lunch. | wanted to
see q live Senator attack his food,

ont a large, expensive opara-Glass,
which I always carry with me, and
watched the venerable gentleman.
He secured a pot Of tea, half a
pumpkin pie, an a small plate Of
butter. He then, with an air Of
great reluctance, removed large,
ob-long, butternut-colored wad Of
some foreign substance from the
interior of bis cheek, laid it down
gently where he could recover it
at once in case Of fire or accilent,
poured out his tea in the saucer
to cool, AMI began to butter his
pie. H. spread the entire mass
over the sorrel surface Of this del
icacy, AMI then cut itinto sections
about one AMI a half or two inch
IS each way, and then lie ran his
knife gently un Ter the bottom Of
each one, raised it gently to q lev
ell with the base of his nose, ran
his long, rel, flexible, sch )larly
tongue out in a oriz)atal m lnner
under the knife, 50 as to prevent
any possible accident, gathered in
the rectangular wad Of pie, Crap
pied and glrglel with it for mo-
mont, and then with quick, sinu-
Gus movement Of ths neck, q low,
metallic rattle of the @5ophagus,
a wild-choke,l, hunted look in the
eye, aud a sigh of unutterabla re-
lief, he was ready for the next.
Slowly but certainly the venerable
Senator inserted this butteral
half of 1t large adult pumpkin pie
into himself in this manner with
out once drawing blood in the
corners of his mouth with thu
keen and trenchant blade of his
knife, and then he turnel to pc
ruse his tea.

BILE Senator, and he said it was
Senator Brown, of Georgia.
Just then Senator Blown, of
Georgia, saturated the first two
joints of his thumb in his saucar
OF tea, raised the beverage to his
Gle lr-cut mouth, looked across the
amber surface, closed his eyes in
dolorous forgetfulne5s, and turned
that tea into his true inwardness

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May ga great many Con-
gressmen who are dependent upon their ability
to secure an appropriation for federal buildings
in their home towns for their reelection to Con-
gress, are doomed to disappointment, unless
some better understanding between the Senate
and House can be arrived at The former has
passed several bills providing for public build
ings in various parts of the country, and the
lower house has done the same, but the Senate
bills which have been sent to the House are
lying upon the Speakers table, smothered with
other business of more or less importance, and
Messrs. Morrison, Randall and others have de-
termined that unanimous consent shall not be
given to pass anything which does not meet
with their unqualified approval The result of
it is that the Senate has retaliated by hanging
up House bills of a similar character which have
been sent over for its concurrence Although
quite a number of these bills have passed one
house or the other. not more than two or three
have been sent to the President for his sigma
ture, and the prospects are that the Forty ninth
Congress viii do little in this direction, at least
during the present session.
