FEEDING A BIG SNAKE.
The Appetlzsng Meal of Rabbits That a
Bea-ConstrIctor Delights In.

The Appetlz'ng Meal of Rabbits That n
Bea-ConstrIctor Delights In.
Three corpulent rabbits of Belgian
breed were Gagged in soap-box quietly
awaiting their fate. They were the
meal for which the snake was anxiously
awaiting. He had not tasted meat in
four months and his voracious nav
yawned like a bottomless pit for the I'M
fortunate trio in the soap-box. Mana
ger Bell appeared and drew forth one
of the rabbits. After stroking bunny
on the back for moment he opened
the door to the snakes den and thrust
him in. The huge bora had coiIed him.
self up in a corner, but at once reused
himself for action. He was fully
twelve feet long, and having recently
shed his winter coat. his skin glistened
and shone like satin. He raised
his head foot or so from the floor and
viewed the first course of his quadri-
annual meal. The rabbit showed no
signs of fear, but rather seemed to en-
Joy his new quarters. The snake slow
ly lowered his head and cautiously be-
gan to stretch himself along the side of
the den. He never once took his ewes
of the rabbit. which was still uncon-
scious of his danger. Suddenly the rab-
bit began to act strangely and to cut all
sorts of ridiculous capers. He would
leap back and forth over the snake, and
then rub up against it, and appeared to
be fascinated. Slowly and stealthily
the snake turned his head about until
1t was within a foot of the rabbits
launches. Then, quick as a flash, he
darted forward, seized the rabbit in his
mouth, and in another instant there was
nothing to be seen of the little animal
save the tips of his ears, which pro-
truded from between the 10 of the
snake.
The huge serpent then raised his
head full two feet from the floor, darted
out his forked tongue and Kissed horri-
bly, at the motley group watching him.
If there was any struggle on the part of
the rabbit it was not visible. The
snake had him in his awful coils. Then
the coils slowly, but with strength
which was terrible to look at, began to
tighten until every bone in the poor
rabbits body must have been broken.
This done the coils relaxed, and the
limp, lifeless body of the sportive rab-
bit of a few moments before lay ready
to be swallowed. First the serpent
nosed his victim all over The eve
balls of the dead rabbit were protruding
from their sockets, and by way of be-
ginning the boa licked them with his
tongue. Once more he coiled about his
victim, leaving it's head and shoulders
free. Then he opened his monstrous
jaws and, taking "bunny's" head there
in, began to swallow. Soon the head
and shoulders were out of sight, and in
less than fifteen minutes the hind legs
followed. Inter-Ocean.

GIRLS IN CONNEMARA,
Th cir Life in Healthful Poverty and The
Dream of American Luxury,

Tn cir Life in Healthful Poverty and Their
Dream of American Luxury.
The Connemara girl weighs about one
hundred and eighty pounds. She wears
two red wooden petticoats woven by
herself, and over her head and serving
the purposes of both a shawl and hood
is white petticoat held in place with
her left hand under her chin. The red
petticoats reach only half way down
her calves. The stride of this child of
the bog is Amazonian, yet tits grace jul.
Her days are spent in carrying sea-
weed for fertilization, turf for the fire,
and water for the illicit still Some
times she carries the turf a distance
of two miles on her back in
wicker basket. Her load usually
weighs about one hundred pounds. Her
stockings have no soles, and she is too
poor to buy shoes. But she wears the
legs of heavy wooden stockings to pro-
tect her calves when the edge of the
heavy petticoat, wet with sea water,
slaps against them.
The brown cow that browses in the
bog is no more innocent than this maid
of the crag and land. Such wealth of
color, such satiny skin and such vigor-
GUS health are not seen in America. In
the evening, after this maiden has
worked hard, she goes home and eats
supper of potatoes (boiled pota toes),
nothing else. Her father and mother
may drink cup of tea, but this luxury
is denied to the girl. The tea costs too
much. When the potato skins have
been fed to the pig the Connemara girl
heaps on the turf-for there is plenty of
it there-and mods herself to sleep in the
chimney nook. Or, it may be, if there
are visitors or neighbors in the house,
she will lit or hum for them to dance
by on the hearthstone. This lit is one
Of the quaintest things heard in Ireland.
The sounds resemble closely those of
an Irish pipe. They are produced by
the vocal organs in conjunction with
the tongue. The tune is usually very
rapid and the litter catches her breath
frequently.
And what do you suppose the Come
mara girls dream by night and by dav
is? It's that she may gather twenty
dollars toget. er SO that she can come to
America, the land of catarrh and pneu-
monia; of indoor work where she will
lose her satiny skin and splendid vigor;
where her eyes will ache for sight of
the Twelve Pins in Connemara; where
but pshaw! she'll cross the sea when
she gets her passage money.-Boston

A Curious Railroad Accident.

AS the west bound mail and express
train was leaving Medina a little after
noon April 16 a peculiar accident
occurred, the cause of which seems
to be a mystery. a branch track
leaves the main line Just east Of the sta
ton and runs close to the edge of the
passenger platform. How it happened
no one can understand, but at the spring
safety switch the rear truck of the rear
car left the main track and swung upon
the switch. The train was moving rap
Idly and the end of the car swung around
with terrible force. The bow window.
In which Operator Shea sat unconscious
Of danger, was struck and the semaphore
signal was torn down, but not hair Of
6hea's head was injured. Baggageman
Van Deusen was struck by the car and
hurled to the platform badly bruised,
but out of harms way.
There was crowd of people on the
platform and there was a wild stampede,
several persons being thrown down and
bruised. The American Express wagon
was standing upon the side track and
was struck and smashed in an instant
The horse was thrown down and bruised
somewhat and Driver Mcbride was
pitched out headlong. His escape was
narrow one, his vest being torn off by
the car. His bruises are painful but,not
serious. The car was loaded with fran
tic passengers who were tossed violently
to one side as the car slowly prepared to
turn a somersault. None of them were
badly injured, but there were many pain
full bruises. H. MacGraw, of New York,
had his face badly cut, and ex-Justice
Allen and Miss Diana, of Medina, were
slightly injured. The water column at
the west end of the depot was torn down
and the train was stopped just in time
to save the car from rolling over.-Buf-
falo Express.

Natural Inequality of Men.

Thus men are certainly not born free
and equal in natural qualities; when they
are born the predicates ''free" and
equal" in the political sense are not ap-
plicable to them, and as they develop,
year by year, the differences in the politi-
cal potentialities with which they really
are born become more and more obvious
ly converted into actual differences-the
inequality of political faculty shows it
self to be a necessary consequence of the
inequality of natural faculty.
1t is probably true that the earliest men
were nomads. But among a body of
naked, wandering savages, though there
may be no verbally recognized distinc-
tions of rank or office, superior strength
and cunning confer authority of more
valid kind than that secured by act of
parliament; there may be no property in
things, but the witless man will be pow
erty stricken in ideas, the clever man
will be a capitalist in that same COM
modify, which in the long run buys all
other commodities; one will miss oppor-
tunities, the others will make them; and
proclaim human equality as loudly as
you like, Witless will serve his brother
So long as men are men and society is
society, human equality will be a dream;
and the assumption that it does exist is
as untrue in fact as it sets the mark of
impracticability on every theory of what
ought to be which starts from it.--Pro-
fessor Huxley in Popular Science.

BEHIND THE TIMES.
The Tallow Candle Still Reigns Supreme
in Old England.

The TalIoW Candle still Retgns Supreme
in Old BngIrnd.
The English are slow to adopt new
ideas. Strange as it may seem, the
people are still using tallow candles all
over the country. They didn't know
what kerosene was in Warwick and
Blackwell. They had never used it. At
the Warwick Arms and Charing Cross
hotels in London we had to go to our
rooms with one tallow candle, and sit
with it, too, or pay sixpence for an extra
one. After writing by our splendid
kerosene lamps in America this trying
to write by the light of tallow candles
is something dreadful. 1t is going back
to barbarism.
At Oxford l got fairly exasperatcd,
and calling the porter asked him if he
couldn't go out and buy me kerosene
lamp.
"What be that there?" he asked in
amusement.
"Why, something to burn--to give a
good light, l said.
"Lor', yeas. l do know whar to find
that their" and off he started. But
what do you think the fool brought me?
Why, six tallow candlesl Light them!
Why of course l did, and if you'd seen :
me trying to write with eight tallOw
candles in row you would haVe taken
my table for a Catholic altar and thei
writer for a bald-headed monk.
In London they are just beginning to
use .kerosence a little. They call it
paraff1ne, but it has the same old Oil
City smell. One snuff convinced me.
that had struck oil The smell was
pleasanter to me than the perfume of
flowers. 1t was a real good old home
smell. 1t was the first time that l even
thoroughly enjoyed the smell Of coal
oil. The dealer told me that he sold it
at sixteen to twenty-four cents per gall.
Ion. They have no splendid lamps to
burn it in yet, but they will come in :
time. They are now burning it in
small lamps without chimneys in many
instances. There is a field for some
enterprising American to come over
here and introduce some good lamps.
Candles are sold here at eight to ten
cents per pound; very cheap, indeed, il
you want a fame without light, but
dear enough if you have to stand eight
in a row to write letter by. They tel,
nae the French are burning our kerosene
very generally and that they have very
beautiful lamps.-London Letter.

then covered them with stones and
grass and went away When he was
gone, the elephant with his trunk I'M
fastened the chain round his foot,
went to the oven and uncovered it,
took out and ate the cakes, recovered
the oven with the stones and grass as
before, and went back to his place. He
could not fasten the chain round his
own foot, so he twisted it round and
round it, in order to look the same,
and when the driver returned the ele
plant was standing with his back to
the oven. The driver went to his
cakes, discovered the theft, and, look
ing round, caught the elephants eye
as he looked back over his shoulder
out of the corner of it. Instantly he
detected the culprit, and condign
punishment followed. The whole oc
currence was witnessed from the win.

THE LEAF OF WOODRUFF.

found leaf of woodruff in book
Gone was its scent, and lost its pristine glory;
Each slender bradelet wore a dingy look.
And all was blanched and hoary
And yet this wthered leaf spell possessed,
Which worked upon me in mysterious measure,
And sent old memories thronging through my
breast
OF mingled pain and pleasure;
OF childhood's days that knew no thought Of care,
OF hours that passed ON wings of rainbow fleet
ness,
OF odors floating on the wanton air,
Sad from their very sweetness;
or woods that wore garb of summer green.
OF knee deep ferns, and hooks of shady stiffness;
OF streams that glinmered in the full moons
sheen
And mirrored back its fulness;
or lazy baskings ON the lone hillside
In the fierce glow of July's sultry weather;
OF twilight wanderings where the enamored tide
Crept up TO kiss the heather;
OF voices still beneath the churchyard sod
Bright eyes that glistened from behind long
lashes;
Warm beauty early given back to God:
Red lips that now are ashes
