0nr National Snake Charmer.

Perhaps it is not generally known that
this country has a national charmer, who
IS paid a good round salary by the Govern
ment. But such Is the fact. The
eharmer in question is Professor A. ZenO
Shindler, busting little German, whose
headquarters are in the National Museum,
at Washington His principal duty is to
make casts and drawings ofall specimens
of the snake family received by the
Museum authorities. Some of the snakes
are received in alcohol, but many Of them
are boxed up and sent here alive. The
Professor has a large wooden cage in his
room in which there is a collection Of
e. dangerous and venOmous reptiles. 4
number Of these he has succeeded IN tam
ing and he runs his hand in among them
in a manner that caused cold chills to
chase each other up and down my spinal
column. Although he has been handling
snakes for several years Professor Shind-
Ter has been bitten only once. He had
received a queer looking little fellow
from Mexico, which somewhat resembled
a garter snake Being afraid that his
snakeship might escape, owing to the
smaIlness of its size, the professor de
cided to put it into a jar of alcohol and
- HAS preserve it until he was ready to
make a plaster cast. re seized the little
striped reptile by the neck as he had-S0ne
'-manya time" before and dexterously
dropped him into the bottle. Upon
touching the liquid the snake sprang sud
denly upward and fastened his fangs in
Shindler's forefnger. The latter quickly
seized knife and cut the fangs loose,
and then, placing the finger in his
mouth, vigorously sucked at the poison,
while he made tracks to the nearest bar
ROOM There he drank large quantity
of whisky. and was afterward taken to
his home in a carriage and a physician
was summoned. He remained on the
sick list for three months, during which
time he was twice or thrice near the point
of death. The snake, he SAYS. must have
been fully as poisonous as RATHER, as
the wound has never fully healed, and
occasionally breaks out into a virulent
sore.-Nei0 York Star.

FASHION NOTES.
b bracelets are again popular.

Curb bracelets are again popular.
The Directoire style is still used fol-
bridemaids' dresses.
The fac for bangle bracelets has de-
veloped into a craze.
Lace and muslin frilIs have taken the
place of linen collars.
Handkerchiefs are tiny, dainty marvela
of color and embroidery.
There is a division of opinion as to
whether skirts are to be made to escape OF
to trail on the ground this season.
Entire dresses of red sateens, trimmed
with ecru laces, are worn at French
country houses and on the seashore.
Pale silver gray gowns with panels,
surplice waistcoats and revers, cuffs and
collars of tan color, are very effective.
Seaside parasols are large and mostly
in bright colors, sometimes softened with
covers or falls of ecru and cream lace.
The costume for Gladly cyclers" Is
dress of simple draperies, linen collars
and cuffs, black stockings, low shoes and
hat with brlm.
An effective hairpin for evening wear
is ofmother-of-pearl, on which is mounted
a diamond star, in which IS concealed a
tiny bit of mechanism which causes it to
revolve, giving the appearance Of flying
sparks.
A favorite hat is the ''Mercutio," of
black rice straw, the broad brim turned
up both sides and lined with velvet, the
crown very low, and for trimming band
and bows of ribbon in front, and on each
side fancy, wing-like metal ornament,
or two real wings of feathers Stimulating
those on the cap of Mercury.
Detachable sleeves, to be used with
sleeveless gowns and jackets, are coming
in favor with fashionable Parisians.
These sleeves are variously of black silk,
velvet, colored surahs and China silks;
gauzes, muslins and laces, and they are
attached to the corsage or jacket by
ribbons or lacing strings of silk braid,
or by hooks and eyelets Or loops (rings)

A LEMON PARTY AT LAKE GEORGE.

A LEMON PARTY AT LAKE GEORGE.
Lemon parties, which were somewhat
in vogue last winter in Washington So
ciety, were popular during the season at
the watering places. One given at a
Lake George cottage was exceptionally
fetching. The hostess hung her rooms
with delicate yellow crepe. Yellow
shades were on the lamps, and innumera-
bic fairy lamps shining through yellow
porcelain added their mite to the golden
effect On the piazzas and grounds were
Chinese lanterns, all swinging in yellow
bags.
Every guest, as is required, gave e
lemon to a servant posted at the entrance.
These were subsequently taken to the
kitchen, and all the seeds carefully taken
out and collected in a small glass jar.
When the hostess signsled the Jar was
brought in and passed in review before
every guest, who made a mental estimate
Of the number of seeds it contained, and
recorded his or her opinion upon a small
yellow tablet already furnished, endors-
ing his or her count by signature. The
tablets were afterward collected and the
results announced. The winner, who was
the one Of course whose guess came near
est the number of seeds, received a pretty
lemonade set, and the "booby" lemon
squeezer ornamented with bow.
Lemon cake, lemon Jelly, lemonade,
and lemon ices constituted the refresh
ments, and every guest on leaving was
presented with a box of lemon drops tied
with yellow ribhons.-On ee-a- Week.

Not many rattlesnakes have been en-
countered in Passaic County, n. j., this
season, because ii has been so wet on the
mountains that they have had no occasion
to come down to the streams or lakes in
the valleys. One was killed the other
week by Miss Cece Van Orden, of Pater-
son, who, with Irwin A. Ball, of New
ark, and Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Camp, of
Paterson, went up on the mountain from
the Lakeside Hotel to visit the mountain
lake and get some water lilies.
Miss Van Orden strayed from the rest
of the party on reaching the rock plateau
at the summit, and while trying to re-
join them she heard the warning rattle of
a snake. She did not know what it was,
and pressed on until the sight of black
and yellow reptile coiled upon a rock al
most level with her face suddenly ar
rested her course. She did not scream
or run. She had in her hand an alpen-
stock cut by Mr.. Ball, and without mo-
ment's hesitation she twirled it into the
air and brought it down with all her
strength upon the elevated head of the
snake, killing it with one blow.
Then he called her companions, and
Mr.. Ball skinned the snake on the spot
and sent the skin to Newark to be tanned
and made into a girdIe for the plucky
young woman. The snake was forty-two
inches long. It had three rattles, the
others having evidently been broken of
recently Miss Van Orden said she knew
it was rattlesnake the moment she saw
It, and realized that it would spring at
her if she made step in either direction
There WIS nothing to do but kill it, and
she struck instantly. She thinks the
snake vas leaping at her when she hit it.

Money in the PorpOise.

Recent reports have come from around
about Quebec of a new. bushes enter
prise for the Catching OF the tP;Srpoise.
In section of the gulf where they are
very plentiful colossal nets are to be
spread for their capture.
The porpoise has been often caught be-
fore. Capitalists have coralled him in
quantities while disporting himself near
Wilmington, Del. for instance. But to
those same capitalists he has ever proved
much of white elephant. Commercial
" he has been unsuccessful, and it IS
pleasing to note that he IS so far appre-
ciated to-day that band Of moneyed men
are again to push him forward. 1t is
difficult thing to find porpoise man in
this city. In the business world the por-
poise is out But a fish oil man thus
speaks of him:
"The catching of the porpoise," he
said, SIS something that has never paid
When dead he is useful in certain ways,
but never sufficiently so. Under his skin
is a LAYER of fat-the blubber-which IS
made into an ordinary fish oil, such as
menhaden, selling at twenty-five cents a
gallon. The only really valuable oil
about him is within the jawbone. That
oil is very fine. 1t sells at from So to 81
gallon, and, when carefully refined,
very much higher. But, of course, per
porpoise there is very small quantity. of
that. OF the ordinary oil about ten por-
poises are needed for a barrelful. 1t IS
used for the same purposes that other fish
oils are-lubricating, the curing of leath-
er and the lighting Of mines. But, ne
concluded, 1.-THE amount of porpoise oil
actually used is so small that we oil men
never take it into consideration at all. F"
The porpoiEe's hide is regularly tanned
for boot and shoe use. 1t is too wet and
oily leather to become n material for
bags, pocketbooks and the like. Cut
into strips for shoestrings it has metwith
some favor. But otherwise it is not
wanted Recently man in the Swamp,
who used to be in the porpoise business,
said; Don't talk porpoise to me, s;r;
there is nothing in them nowadays.
Yelrs ago we thought there was going to
be, but no. In my stock now l have
several thousand pOrpOlse hues INIT
would be glad to sell, but nobody wants
them. If this new company is going 10
capture them by net it will have a job on
its hands For the porpoise is wriggler
and the porpoise is very strong, and the
net will have to be made Of the heaviest
wire and tightly woven together. "
The porpoise here referred to is just
the plain, ordinary porpoise, such as one
may see not far from here, and even at
times in New York Bay itself. There is
another kind of porpoise known as the
''white whale" from twelve to fourteen
feet long, OF kalsomine whiteness from
tip of tail to head. But he is, strictly
speaking, an Arctic porpoise, and sell
dom. if ever, gets as far south as the
Gulf of ST. Lawrence. The ordinary
species is but half the length, and even
less, of the white whale. Hail and
