OF y very sociabe disposition. Formerly he had
been somewhat dissipated, but for the past year

SHOOTING WATER SNAKES.

Novel Methods to Rid the Government,
Ponds of These Pests.
Water snakes have become such a
| nuisance to DR.. Hessel, curator of the
carp ponds and superintendent of shad
propagation, that he has declared a war
of determination against them. They
are voracious devourers of young fish,
lying in wait for them in the shallow
water near the bank and gliding stealth
lily up behind each fnny victim, which
finds itself swallowed before it has had
time to fairly realize the nature of the
tragic occurrence. One snake will con-
sumo, on an average, at least six little
carp or shad per diem, and at this rate
it will be seen that few of them, with
ordinary appetites, are likely to shock
ing1y deplete the stock in a preserve
within mparatively brief period.
How plentiful these destructive reptiles
are in DR.. Hessefs watery domain may
be judged by the fact that during the
past twelvemonth he has himself killed
1000 of them.
The doctors method of killing snakes
is peculiar; he Stays them with parlor
rife, which is just like an ordinary
rifle. save that the bore is very small,
and the bullet and charge Of powder
corresponding. With this formida BILE
weapon in hand, it is the favorite pas
time of his leisure hours to patrol The
shores of the ponds with cautious foot
steps, gazing ahead wistfully until now
and then perchance he sees reptile
head protruding from the water. 1t is
small mark to hit, but the
distinguished curator's aim is un.
falling, and it is his particular
pride always to break the snakes
neck between the base of the skull ano
the first yertebra. This accomplished,
the prey invariably gives up the ghost,

RESULTS OF JlNGOlSM.
Diplomatic Situation That Is Amy Thing
But Flattering to MIR. Blaine.

Il the Behring sea matter should
finally develop into open hostilities be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain no tears would be shed by our
blessed infant industries. They got
what they have under cover Of the
smoke of war, and they realize that
nothing but another war. domestic or
foreign. can save them Hence the
jingoism that has been paraded for
many years. Hence Mr.. Clarkson's talk
of territorial aggrandizement. Hence
Mr.. Reeds scheme for his party to do
its own registering, its own counting
and its own certifcation of votes in the
South. And hence the constant strain
that is put upon the friendly relations
of England with the American Union
Mr.. Blaine has said in his famous
book that any Secretary or Minister
who should be guilty of provoking a
severance of the amicable ties which
bind the United States and Great Britain
so closely would deserve and would be-
come the object of universal execration:
yet it is to be feared that Mr.. Blaine
himself is not to be held wholly guilt
less on this head. 1t is true that he
has been conducting friendly negotia-
tons with Sir Julian Pauncefote touch
ing the Behring sea difficulties, but it
is also true that while thus engaged
the Treasury Department, however in
spirsd, has taken steps which have
given deep offense to the English Gov
eminent. and driven it to the very
verge of open hostilities- The negotia-
lions have been broken off, and British
warships are massing at the scene of
trouble, with orders to protect Canadian
sealers at whatever hazard. Mr.. Blaine
may be entirely blameless for the inn
mediate act of the Treasury in assum-
ing a hectoring attitude at this junct-
ure, but he surely ought to have had in
fiuence enough with the Administra-
ton to have prevented hasty and ILL
considered movements in any direction
pending the diplomatic negotiations
which he was conducting. Moreover, if
the whirlwind is about to be reaped,
Mr. Blaine should get whatever credit
there may be due for the harvest since
1t was Mr.. Blaine, and NO one more
