A BALL OF ZIG SNAKES.

what Florida Offers rs u Side
show to Tourists.
While q train on the South Florida
was below Kissimmills, 80 miles
south of here, the engineer was
treated to a novel sight. At this
point the road runs through q
swamp and the grade is but slightly
higher than the water and mud.
While going along at q fair speed
the engineer noticed O queer ball or
bunch Of something about 100 yards
ahead in the center of the track.
The morning was somewhat foggy
and rather cold. Before he could
clearly see if it was really an OBJ
struction the engine was almost on
it. Then, to his amazement, he saw
il was a ball of snakes. They were
all rolled and twined in together,
with their heads sticking out in all
directions, and about the bulk of q
bushel basket. The engineer struck
them fair and threw the bunch into
the air, when il burst, and the
snakes flew in all directions, some
on the cow-c catcher, others on the
engine, and one or two managed to
alight near the cab. The engineer
says the snakes were all coio,s and
sizes and kinds. the big blacksnakes
predominating. He saw them
squirming on the running-gear of
the engine and he put on an extra
head of steam and pulled ahead as
fast as possible. At the next station
five miles below the crowd on the
platform gave the locomotive q wide
berth. An examination and search
revealed over ten black, whip. GOV
and water snakes. The section
master afterward said it was q COM
mon sight on cold. frosty mornings
to see such snake balls. Where the
engine struck the mass the remains
of Is serpents were found, a few
large. II is said probably $50 and
over were together when disturbed.

Played By q Society Woman Upon
Two Of Hes Alleged Friends.
Mrs. Lasante is q woman wise in
her day and generation, and IL with
the wisdom of the serpent she some
times combines other qualities than
the harmlessness of the dove, she is
at least q leader in society, the best
dressed woman of her set, and a
most fascinating companion for all
men with the possible exception OF
her husband. Mrs. Lasante recently
gave O very brilliant dinner party, to
which she felt obliged to ask Mr..
and Mrs. Mayance, although she dis
tinctly did not desire their presence.
OF course, l shall invite them,
she confded TO a friend, but dc
you know / feel somehow that they
won't come"
Her manner was so significant thai
her friend laughingly asked:
How will you manage that?"
"Oh, l can't tell" was the reply
" l shall not do anything, Of course.
but things generally happen the way
/ want them to-"
And this is what did happen: Or
the morning of the day appointed FOL
the dinner, there was dropped into .
street letter-box O badly soiled ant
muddled envelope bearing Mrs
Lassnte's monogram and addressed
to Mr.. and Mrs. Mayance. Across il
was written in pencil Picked up or
the street." And it indicates how
unworthy was Mrs. Mayance tc
shine at one of Mrs. Lasante'i
brilliant assemblages that she really
believed that the whole thing was sr
accident. and sent the most pro-
found apologies for not having re-
sponded sooner. AS it was, she was
unfortunately engaged. Singu-
larly enough, in making out her
private list for dinner, Mrs. Lasante
had never thought to write the
names of Mr.. and Mrs. Mayance al
all.-Boston Globe.

A CULTURED MIsER.

Life Of James n. Paine, who Ac-
cumuitaed an Immense For.
tune.
Miser James Fl. Paine, whose for
tune Of s400, 900, under the decision
of Surrogate Rollins, goes to his
Boston relatives instead of the
wardwell estate, was a grandson Of
Robt. Treat Paine, q signer Of the
Declaration of Independence. He
was graduated at Harvard, and soon
made q name as O musical critic of
the very highest order. He had q
great greed for money, and In early
life was mixed up in some shady
business, which compelled him to
come to this city. He became q
Insurer and o miser OF the worst
kind. He neglected his clothing,
allowed his hair and beard to grow,
never washed himself, and lived
alone in an attic in Blocker street.
ALI this time he was lending money
at ~exorbitant rates and making q
great fortune, although he was
several times defrauded by his in
tended victims. He died on Christ
mas day two years ago. as he lived
alone and in his misery. He had
lost all his friends. for his appear
ance had become so repulsive that
no one would associate with him.
Yet all the time he loved music. and
the only money he spent was for
opera tickets and admissions to high
class concerts. When he died, John
Wardwell, an old man, a piano
dealer, appeared and filed a will
made by the miser. leaving every
thing to Wardwell. The relatives
contested, and Charles Chickering of
Chickering Bros. the piano-makers,
was appointed executor. He walked
into court ono day with IN old green
handkerchief containing which, he
said, Paine had left with him for
safe keeping many years before
death. 1t was opened in court and
found to contain $4,000 in cash
and $40, 900 in bonds. 1t had lain in
Chickering's safe unopened for
years. Wardwell, in trying to pro-
bate the will, said he was Paine's
only friend, and that the miser hated
his relatives, and therefore had
made the will in bis favor. The
relatives said Paine was incapable Of
making a will, and the Surrogate has
now decided, after holding the mat
ter under advisement for over six
months, that they ere right. SO
the money will go to them. Ward
we'll died last Summer leaving what
ever he might possess to his widow.

Receptions Given q Couple of III.
larfous Gentlemen ON Coming

A group of gentlemen were telling
domestic yarns" the other day, and
it reminded one of them of q lady
foriculturally inclined. whose hus-
band would quite frequently amble
home in a highly constrained" con
dition, and yet he was always
vehemently asserting that he was
duly sober. Finally she began put
ting the password" system into
execution, and his admission nightly
depended very much on his ability
to pronounce the word given out.
One night it was chrysanthemum,"
and as his step was unsteady, and so
was his tongue, he could not pro-
nounce straight to save his neck
and judgment was entered against
him; in other words, the good wife
refused to open the door. The next
night his condition was even more
befuddled. but he had steadily prac-
ticed on "chrysanthemum" until he
could say it drunk or sober, and
home he started, and no sooner had
he knocked than he yelled, in re-
sonably clear tones, chrys-an.the-

but the password has been
changed-it it's rhododendron." said
the wife.
GOOD night" said he.
THAT reminds me-" said q second
gentleman, of a well-known man
about town, whose only failing is his
disposition to drink to excess at
stated periods. And when he was on
one of these bouts and was u little
doubtful of his reception at home,
he used to walk by the porch and
throw his hat in. If it was kicked
off he walked away to continue his
debauch. but if the hat was suffered
to remain he sneaked home and
made his peace as best he could

A bank cashier tells q Kansas
City Star reporter that the best way
to tell a counterfeit bill is by
sound and feeling. Take a bill
firmly between the thumb and index
finger of your left hand and pull it
quickly through your finger like
this. Few listen to the sound it
makes. 1t is not just like rubbing
silk, and neither does ii resemble q
paper sound closely. It's a noise that
is too peculiar to admit Of q descrip.
ton"
Do they make counterfeit paper
so near like the original that you
can't tell the difference?"
You cant tell by looking at it.
It is only by the sound and touch.
Now listen to the sound made by
this counterfeit 500 bill. You see,
that's a sleek noise, something like
pulling glazed paper through the
fingers. A child could tell the dif-
ference between that bill and q
genuine one. But look at it and you
will think your eye is on something
that would pass muster for 800

A New York Herald special cable
from Portsmouth, England, OF
January rs. tells of the funeral at
the South SeaiCemetery in that city
of a woman who was buried with full
military honors. The wife OF
Quartermaster Fox of the Second
Connaught Rangers accompanied her
husband to the Transvaal and while
ministering to the wounded was shot
in the abdomen. She was q prisoner
of wal in the Boer camp for four
months, but still ministered to her
fellow prisoners. She returned to
Portsmouth and died. Colonel
Bunbury said that she died a SOL
dier's death. and Lieutenant Gen.
eral Sir George Wells ordered a
military funeral. There were 10000
people present. The pail bearers
were all officers. The coffin was
carried on the gun-csrriage drawn
by six horses in black cloth, each
mounted by a cavalryman. The
Colonel Of the regiment accompanied
the husband as chief mourner, sup
ported by six Sergeants who had
been wounded and attended by Mrs.
Fox. The Red Gross given by the
Queen to Mrs. Fox was placed on
the coffin. Three volleys were fred
over the grave, and the funeral

A Corpse Dances q Hornpipe.

As two police officials were making
their rounds recently in the neigh

found the body of a man lying on
the banks Of the Marine. They de-
termined on removing it at once to

the purpose. As they were jogging

and to their horror saw the corpse,
as they believed il to be, dancing q
hornpipe in the middle of the road.
Although much frightened. they
pulled up and hailed the man. who
ran up and soon gave them an ac-
count of his adventures over o bot
tie of wine in q cabaret hard by. He
had been rendered inanimate by the
cold and had no inkling of what was
going on until he recovered his
senses in the cart. His first
thought was to restore his circula-
ton. 30 he slipped off the vehicle
and began stamping about on the
ground to warm his feet. The
