DEATH TO SNAKES.
How Pussy Kills the Most Terrible of All
Tropical Reptiles.

The experience of fear has enabled
domestic animals to discern the pres
ence of the enemy (the fer-de-lance)
while invisible to man. Your horse
rears and plunges in the darkness,
trembles and sweats; do not try to ride
on until you aye assured the way is
clear-your animal has perceived far
ahead two scintillating points, two
moving sparks of fire. Or your dog
may come running back, whining, shiv-
ering; accept his warning. The ami
mails kept about country residences
have learned to fight for their lives,
the hen battles hopelessly for her chick
ems, the bull tries to gore his supple
enemy, the pig gives more successful
combat; but the creature who fears the
monster least is the brave cat. Seeing
snake she at once carries her kittens
to place of safety, then boldly advances
to the encounter. She will walk to the
very limit of the serpent's striking
range, and begin to feint, teasing
him, startling him, trying to draw
his blow. How the emerald and
the topazine eyes glow then
they are flames. A moment more, and
the triangular head, Kissing from the
coil, flashes swift as if moved by wings.
But swifter still the strong stroke of
the armed paw that smites the horror
aside, flinging it mangled and gasping,
in the dust. Nevertheless, pussy does
not yet dare to spring; the enemy, still
active, has almost instantly reformed
his coil; but she is again in front of
him, watching-vertical pupil against
vertical pupil. Again the flashing
stroke; again the beautiful countering;
the living death is hurled aside. the
scaled skin is deeply torn, one eye
socket has ceased to flame. Once more
the stroke Of the serpent; once more
the light, quick, cutting blow. But
now the trigonocephalus is blind, is
stupefied; before he con attempt to coil,
Pussy has leaped upon him, mailing the
horrible flat head fast to the ground
with her two sinewy paws. Now let
him lash, writhe, Irvine, strive to stran-
gle her-in vain! he will never lift his
head; an instant more, and he lies still;
the fine white teeth of the cat have
severed the vertebra just behind the
triangular. --Lafcadio HearN, IN liar

j. CARY,
j. CAREY.
The Irish Informer.

Some unknown person comes and
writes this inscription when time or
the weather obliterates the words, at
least Mr.. Philpotts, the chief of the
jail, informed me when pointing out the
grave, which he kindly undertook to do.
The grave was surrounded, and indeed,
half-covered, with pieces of rock and
flinty stone; some bands of futed iron.
such as are used in South Africa for
roofing temporary houses, had been
placed in a position so as to form the
semblance of a cross. This cross, my
informant added, is frequently taken
away, but the mysterious hands who
rewrite the epitaph also replace the
rude emblem of salvation as often as it
is disturbed
A curious ending, that death of the
arch plotter and informer, James Carey,
sailing along in the Melrose Castle, the
splendid sunshine of South Africa prob
ably elevating his spirits, with the goal
almost reached, and hoped-for security
in his grasp. But even in that hour of
bow, and an imaginary dispute concludes
with the production of revolver, and
brace of bullets send Carey to discover
the great secret of death and hereafter
with as short a shrift, as brief warn
ing, as he gave his victims on that his.
toric afternoon in the Dublin park No
priest could be obtained to say prayer
for the dead over his body, but DR.. En-
sor, Port Elizabeth surgeon, to the
credit of his Christian feelings be it
SAID. offered up a supplication as the
body was lowered into the grave-the
grave which none but prisoners and
malefactors would be induced to make.
The man who shot Carey may have
been a political fanatic to throw away
his own life in the way he did, but few
persons, no matter what views they
may hold, but will cordially agree that
little sympathy can be given to the
wretch who lured his comrades to COM
nit the crimes which imperiled their
eXistences, and then, to save his OWE
worthless life, handed them over to the
hangman's rope.
The incident of Careys tragical
death, O'Donnell's trial and condemna-
ton are almost forgotten in Port Eliza
beth. 1t was curious tale, however,
and when his evidence was first given
to the reading world the interest mani
tested throughout the English-speaking
people in all parts of the inhabitable
globe was so intense, so all-absorbing,
that perhaps / may be excused for de-
voting so much of my readers attention
to visit to Carey's grave.-Pon Eliza-

Enormous Palm Trees.

The huge palm trees on the Saunders
place on San Pedro street have long
been a source of admiration to thou
sands of people. They were there long
before the present occupant took pos
session, and are estimated to be from
sixty-hveto seventy-five years old. The
diameter of the largest is fully four feet
and the height over sixty feet, while
the bodies of all rise like well-rounded
pillars symmetrically formed for forty
feet or more to the well proportional
but notwide-spreading tops. Recently
Mr.. Saunders disposed of three of them
to the Southern Pacific Company for
ornamentation of their spacious grounds
surrounding theWolfskill station. The
work of removing the first of these
stately trees has been successfully ac-
complished, requiring the carrying
along of body of earth ten feet
square and six feet deep, attached to
and surrounding the roots. The APP
paratus for removal is similar to that
used in transferring buildings, and
when the tree was properly placed
upon it in an upright position it was
moved along without the use of guy
ropes to steady it until its place of de-
post was reached. A well is situated
between where this tree stood and two
others known as the twins. and the
roots of the trees penetrated the well
at a depth of twenty feet or more

The Old-F ashioned Girl.

She arose in the morning when
called. and we do not suppose she had
her hair done up in curling papers and
crimping pins or banged over her fore
head. She did not grow into young
lady and talk about her beau before
she was in her teens, and she did not
read dime novels, nor was she fancy
ing hero in every boy she met. The
old-fashioned girl was modest in her
demeanor, and she never talked slang
nor used by-words. She did not laugh
at old people nor make fun of cripples.
She had respect for her elders, and
was not above listening to words of
counsel from those older than herself
She did not know as much as her
mother, nor did she think that her
judgment was as good us that of her
grandmother. She did not go to par
ties by the time she was ten years old
and stay till after midnight, dancing
with chance young men who happened
to be present. She went to bed in
season, and doubtless she said her
prayers and slept the sleep of inno-
cence, rose up in the morning happy
and capable of giving happiness. And
now, if there is an old-fashioned girl
in the world to-day, may Heaven bless
and keep and raise up others like her.

TABLE RELlSHES,
Conditions Under Which Their Consump.
ton is Really Healthful.

A relish is something eaten with food
to render it more appetizing, or 10
quicken a dull appetite. There are
certain articles which, without some
such addition, as salt, for instance, are
tasteless-so sometimes even nauseatino.
But it is not customary to apply the
term relish to salt, or to any other
article when it is employed simply to
season food.
The relshes are of two classes. First,
those which depend mainly on one
or more piquant substances, such as
pepper, mustard, ginger, horseradish,
vinegar, cinnamon and the various
spices. These are combined with some
one or more-generally with several
of the following vegetables as a base:
tomatoes CASUALLY green), onions, cab
bage, cucumbers, pears, peaches, cur
rants, berries, grapes. Secondly, those
which depend mainly on sugar, COM
bined with the juices of various fruits,
or with the pulp, as in the case of mar
malade.
Now, the question arises, are these
and similar relishes conducive to
healthp
A normal, vigorous appetite needs no
such aid 1t is sufficient of itself. The
lower animals need nothing of the kind.
The cows green grass, the horses dry
hay, and the dogs bone with a little
meat on it, are doubtless eaten with a
relish that our pampered stomachs
know little of. Socrates told his rich
Athenian auditors that he got more real
enjoyment out of his dry crust tf.an
they did from the luxuries with which
they tickled their palates. The old
Latin assertion, "Optinum condime..-
tim James, is only the saying of Socra-
ties concisely expressed-the best sauce
is a good appetite.
Unfortunately, all people have not
high health. Some are in feeble con-
dition, with little or no appetite, and
yet their recovery depends mainly on
the food they take. In all such cases
some simple relish is not merely greatly
desirable, it is necessary Many per-
sons, in this driving age, come to their
meals with little appetite. A sensible
appetite quickens and increases the
gastric secretions. In such cases, there
fore, some piquant relish is really help
full. Probably even the strongest is not
injurious, if used with moderation; but
relishes are greatly pernicious if used
to encourage over-eating, or to cause
one to eat when the stomach is already
exhausted from previous repletion.-

Curiosities of Plant Life.

In some parts of Nevada is curious
plant called the ANGRY tree" 1t is
native of Australia, and somewhat
resembles the century plant. Its name
is due to its apparent vexation at being
disturbed. When transplanted each
separate leaf stands up in different
direction, like quilts on porcupine or
+ hairs on the tail of an angry cat At such
times it gives forth an unpleasant odor,
like that of a rattlesnake when teased,
and sometimes it is fully an hour be-
fore its leaves resume their natural
condition. Another curiosity in the
plant world is a peculiar kind of weed
which grows in the Arkansas valley.
1t is shaped like a bell, and varies in
size from one foot or less in diameter
to five or six feet, some specimens be-
ing as tall as a man. When ripe these
balls snap off their stems and go tum-
bling over the prairies with every
gust OF wind They present very
strange appearance, and in the distance
hunters have mistaken them for bisons.
Often they come bounding along in
hundreds upon the hunters, who are
compelled to crowd upon the ground to
escape being hurt.-St. Louis Globe

a DEGRADING VICE.
The Creed for Wealth and It's Terri
Effects on Its Victims.


Effects on Its Victims.
1t is one Of the marked characteristics
of greed, that there is no satisfying ii
or allaying its cravings. You may
gorge greedy man until he is ready
to burst, until not another morsel of
food can be forced into his craw, and
he will still be in distress because he
can hold no more. And SO of the man
whose only thought is to increase his
wealth; the more ne gets the more he
wants, and the less serupulous he be-
comes as to the means by which his
ends are to be accomplished. At the
outset man who is eager to get rich
will have some respect for the rights of
others, and will hesitate about grind
ing money out of his fellow men in dis
honest ways, but with increase of
wealth he grows less and less scrupu-
lous as to how his gains are to be
secured, until at last he will allow no
mans rights to stand in his way, and
will unhesitatingly compromise honor,
decency, and every principle of justice
than be checked in his ambition to be-
come more and more wealthy. When
greed is allowed its own way it will
continue to gain firmer and frmer
hold upon a man until il drives from
his breast every feeling of sympathy,
love and compassion for his brother
man; it will sap him of his strength to
resist the assaults of avarice, and will
shrivel up his soul until none of those
manly virtues which raise man above
the brute can fluid Judgment IN his
heart. -ReU. h. Il. DoRehoo.

THE nIoHARR ". LAW

Launched at Graves Sh1PYard Tester
 day-A Fine Addition to Gho Fleet-A
 Sketch of IGs Interior.
 Mr. Richard W. Laws fine new oyster steamer, which is valued at $14, ,000 and has been building in Captain George M. Graves' shipyard in Fair Haven for several months, was launched at noon yesterday. The new steamer looked very fine yesterday morning as she sat upon the ways at the yard on South Quinnipiao street. She was reeplendent in bright paint and bunting. From the fore- flagstaff hoated an American ensign and a burgee bearing her name, while on the staff just over the stern was the American ensign and a Union jack. Between 100 and 150 people gathered around the little vessel. There was brief music of the mauIs as they frightened the wedges and ct 12:14 the Law began to move from the ways. The hull slid gracefully into the Quinnipiac and as she reached the middle of the river her anchor was hove from the bow. 4 little later she was turned to wharf on the west side of the river where her tanks were filled with water. In week she will be ready for dredging op- erations. The Richard W. Law has capacity for nearly two thousand bushels of oysters snd the only larger boats hereabouts are ths Jeremiah Smith and Ruel Rowe. She is 76 feet long, 20 feet beam and 6 feet depth of hold. The frame is of white oak and chest- nut and the two inch planking is of white oak from trees cut in the East Hampton woods. On the main deck aft is the cabin, out of which opens the pantry and 8 stateroom with two berths. Nearly amidships is the engine room and st one side another stateroom Forward of the engine room is the oyster storage room, large deck space being devot- ed to this use. The steamer has a horizontal boiler like the ocean-going steamers The boiler, which was built by Bigelow 6 Co.,, is six feet in diameter and ten feet long and is capable of carrying 40 pounds of steam.
