sNAKE-HuNTlNo TOM.
Feats That Were an Everyday Matter
for q Lop-Eared Jersey Cat
IN, Y. Herald

The hundreds Of snakes that fed from
the burned bushwood at the back
of Chestnut avenue, in Arlington, n. j.,
have found new houses, and thelittle New
ark suburb Is again free from them. But
Mr.. James N. Matthews, the business man.
ager Of the Kearney WdtchmdH, says the
statement that no snakes had been seen in
Arlington before the burning of the BUSH
wood is incorrect, and he points at the
grave Of a cat that saw and killed many
of them, and brought more into his kitchen
to be dispatched by Mr.. Matthews him.

"Ilived with nv family on Forrest ave-
nue. when owned that cat" said Mr..
Matthews. "He was a large black and
white tom, and both in appearance and
disposition was very remarkable AMI
NAL. He had lop ears. exactly like those
Of p rabbit, and, a singular thing with a
cat of his disposition, was never known TO
eat a snake, althou IN he caught scores OF
them. He had a good appetite for ordl-
nary food, but he cared very little for rats
and mice. He had transferred all his
talents as a mouser to the capture Of

a week fer snake, an then drag into the
kitchen a reptile six feet long and az thick
as a mans wrist. The worst OF 1t was
that they were oftrr full If life on tho
kitchen floor, and had to kill them with
an axe. The cat would play with them as a
common eat does with mouse-letting
them 90 for few seconds and then
bouncing upon them again.
"Thoy were. for the MOST part, carriers
and black snakes. The latter are said t5
be little poisonous, but the cat was never
bitten. The snakes seemed to be paralyzed
with fright when he seized them, and l
never saw the largest of them make any
resistance, Mt wife was often terribly

GEOGRAPHY AND AR1,
A Very Interesting Conversation Over

troversy IN the art gallery Of the EXPOSE

the paintings. II was the beautiful little
canvas Of r. W. Hubbard, entitled, ac-
cording to the printed catalogue, "Pool
above Aam," Several persons stood
around Il admitting it, when suddeHly the
question was sprung: "Where is Aamy'
One gentleman thought that it was town
in Connecticut, not far from where Mr..
Hubbard has bis country seat. An
Irish gentleman shook his head, and
thought that Il was IN CUhnaught.
A WELL dressed man with Teutonic ac-
cent remarked judicially that he thought
Aan was hamlet not far from Stuttgart,
and, in fact, he had a distinct impression
that he visited it once, in hts childhood.
Just then a minister came Nm ard over

his memory served him right, AaIn was an

Joshua once wors;ed the hmalekites. he
thought the account Of the battle would be

perhaps in the fourth or fifth chapter.
just then Mr.. Leonard, WIZ superntends
the gallery. and no hearing the contro-
versy hal disappeared TO make some in
