RATTLEsNAKE INDUSTRY.
The Ingenious Method the Yankees
Have of Catching the Reptile.

INC ingenious MctnOU tne YANKEES
Have of Catching the Reptile.
They hunt the rattlesnakc every summer
In this county for bis oil, which Is believed
To be cure for deafness, aud rs such Ia
worth So an ounce, says nm Adams (Mass)
letter to the New York lPorh. But the
Yankee hunters native ingenuity has hit
upon an ingenious method OF capturing the
festive rattler, which may not be very
brave, but is certainly very effective.
Choosing rod-hot summer day In the dry
season the rattlesnake hunters sauuter
forth into the region where the reptiles are
known to abound.
One man carries fish pole, another a
sharp scythe. The fish pole has stout
wire attached to II and there is an ordinary
pickorel hook on the end of the wire. Nov
ing cautiously through the grass so as not
10 disturb the sleeping snake who is al
most always found basklng in the warm
sun near loose ledge of rock, one Of the
men prods his suakeshlp more or les gently
with the fish pole, being careful also to hold
the hook invitingly near TO the rattler's
head.
Like any other sleeper suddenly inter
rupted, the snake wakes up angry, make
q dart nt the nearest irritating object, which
is the fsh-hook, and very accOmmodatingly
allows the sharp tines TO penetrate his
Jaws. lie may rattle aud hiss and wriggle

deadly venom, but the poison meets but the
vacant air. Tlp man with the iish-pole
holds the entrappod snake at o safe distance,
while his comrnde moves up aud, with one
well-aimed blow Of his trusty scythe,
sewers the snakes head from It's body The
body then is deposited in bag and the
hunters go in search Of other game.
The most famous hunter OF rattlesnakes
after this provincial method is Isaac Spur,
who lives In the southernpart Of the county,
near Mount Everett n region long noted for
its snakes. Spur always goes out Just be-
fore a storm, for at that time, he says. ex-
perience proves the rattler comes out OF his
hole. He has caught thousands OF these
snakes in his time, and has acquired such
knowledge of their habits that he can trap
one every time. Years ago he found them
much more plentiful and much larger. lie
caught one once which was eleven feet long
and 35 years old. When Spur dressed the
snake for his oil he found n young wood
chuck in the stomach. Spurs reputation
as a snake-catchcr extends far aud wide,
and when the geological folks want snake
for exhibition they always drop Spur u
line, and they are rarely disappointed.
Three rattlers caught by him were taken to
the Central Park Zoo, and are there now

There is not an official in Washington
more affable than Mr.. Walker Blaine, nor
one more popular, He shook hands with
us and received with courteous thanks our
congratulations on his recovery from the
accident to his foot and ankle which kept
him on crutches for some weeks. He now
walks without even cane to help him and
with but slight stiffness, which will, no
doubt, soon disappear. What absurd mis-
conceptions prevail concerning our public
men Mr. Walker Blaine has been repre-
sented as mere fledgling in point of years,
whereas he is man of at least 35, and with
more than one silver thread among the dark
locks to betray his arrival at the halfway
house of life's journey. Those who know
of what they speak say he is a lawyer Of
sterling ability, who would long ago have
made mark in the legal profession had his
time and attention not been so much alb
sorhed in the great career of his father

The Baneful Cigarette.

The crusade against the noxious cigarette
is not confined to the Empire State. The
lower house Of the Michigan Legislature
has passed bill which prohibits the "man-
away of any cigarettes or any imitation
thereof composed in whole or In part Of
tobacco, or any substance In the form OF
the cigarette containing any narcotic ele-
ments.n That is pretty sweeping. In this
State It is only proposed to forbid the sale
of cigarettes to boys under 10. The Michi-
gan House may mean well, but II is hardly
likely that public sentiment Will support
any such law as that, A sentence OF bansh-
ment against the cigarettein toto cannot be
enforced at the present day,--[New York
