the Alamo,"a story Of Texas, seems to
possess particular attraction for girls OF
older growth. The writings OF "The

girls OF sweet sixteen or thereabouts.
There Is always O steady demand

works by Black, Macdonald, f. Marion

short stories. Miss Murfree (Charles
Egbert Craddock) is not so popular as
formerly, but Helen Jackson still re-
tains hold upon the public. The
works OF such standard authors as Scott
and Dickens are generally called for by
the older people.

LONDON EVENING PAPERS.
They Are Making Rapid Gains on
Their Morning Contemporaries.

Their Morning Contemporaries.
The London correspondent of the
East Anglican Daily Times (the paper
tion with the Contemporary article)
writes: There is a great change in
process in the position and prospects of
the London newspapers. What we un-
derstand by the morning papers" are
losing ground for the general readers
and their evening contemporaries are
steadily lyencroacnlug upon the position
which they once held as purveyors of
intelligence and trainers or directors
of public opinion. The Daily Tele-
graph and Standard are taken for their
advertisements, notably the former,
whose brilliant leaders of the past de-
cade are now almost invariably dull,
and not infrequent!y ungrammatical.
The Times never has enjoyed popular
reading clientele, and the Post, notwith-
standing its fall IN price, is still the or
gan of the boudoir. City men and in
vestors residing in the metropolis have
ceased, to an extent which inquiry
would cause to be astounding, to depend
for their money intelligence upon the
Times, and its contemporaries. This
branch of journalism Is now better
done by the financial paners, of which
exotic two specimens have come COM
paratively recently iuto existence. 1t

and sometimes fearless, though they
be, have

writer's put things in a keen light, and
ferret out facts which the old tradi-
tional city article writer disdains to
publish or is too lazy to find out for him
self. Moreover, the money intelligence
is now done vigorously and promptly by
the evening, or so-called evening
papers, for these are speedily accelerat-
ing the hour of their publication.
Almost before men on Change settle
down to business the Star is selling

O'COnnor's paper, was published at the

street. In fact the toe of the evening
editor comes SO nigh to

that his threatens to be the paper of the
future. Quite recently bought a cur
rent copy of the Star at the Lowestoft
railway station shortly after midday.
The society papers also are feeling the
pressing changes. The evening papers
now all go in for society gossip, thus in
vading the domain of the sO-called
journals for men and women. A calcu'

THE SNAKE KILLER.

EDITOR FARNER:-I am a member
of Sub-Alliance No. 576, known by
the name of Soapstone Alliance. We
are poor people, but as good Alliance
men as ever graced Cardinals soil.
Your unworthy snake killer attended
the Farmers Institute on Friday the
10th inst. and heard some wonderful
~oratorical displays on the subject of
farming, establishing shoe factories
and agricultural colleges, &c. But oh,
me not a word was said about killing
snakes, the very thing l was most in
terested in and most earnestly desired
to have some means devised for the
speedy destruction of the venomous
beast which ever live with jaws open,
tongue extended, fangs ~unsheathed,
and with curved neck ready to pop
the legs of ~passers-by and inject the
deadly liquid which sickens and IN
mans the stoutest constitution. Now,
Mr.. Editor, as [ have had some expe-
rience land from experience knowledge
is obtained) in the art of DISCRIMINATING
the beast, humanity demands that /
should give some specific instructions
to my brethren of the order.
Some years ago l was going to a
country store fer the purpose of making
some necessary purchases for my
family, when suddenly I came upon a
large snake. He was one of these
jointed fellows. I gave him a blow
with a stick, but missing his head his
tail received the blow, whereupon it
came unjointed and away it went, but
I observed one thing-its head was
ready to bite. I made a second ex-
pertinent and another joint bounded
away, but It's head was still in an atti-
tude for battle. / made a third effort,
and although several joints came off
at this time, its head was yet ready
for fight. By this time l had gained
considerable knowledge, and perceived
my mistake and began to deal with
his head, and killed him outright.
Now, brethren of the county of
Wake, having obtained this wonder
full knowledge from experience, land
experimental knowledge is the best of
alD [ counsel you to begin at the head.
But where is the head ? Let us see :
l buy a bushel of corn on time and l
am charged 80 cts. for it. The cash
price of same is 60 cts, a clear profit
of 80 cts. to the time dealer, to say
nothing of the per cent. put on to
raise it to what is termed cash price.
And so, brethren, you see that
