A Naturalist and His Snake.

Speaking of snakes" said an am
ateur naturalist to New York Sun
writer. 'but for mans insane prejudice
against them they would be found to
be not only intelligent. but extremity
sociable. When was boy lived at
Sheppard's Park. Rockland county.
and near by was a good stream well
stocked with fish. Whenever caught
a mess-which was very often-my
father used to insist that l clean and
scale them ut distance from the
house, and my habit was to thus prepare
the days catch on the banks of the
stream before returning home. One
day while thus engaged large black
snake appeared from under a huge
rock near by, and. approaching me,
made deliberate meal on the discard
ed portions of the fish. He then re-
tired. The next day he came again,
and after that he fell into the habit of
waiting for me. The spot where
moored the dingy from which angled
was the one selected by mo for clean
ing the fish. and after few days of
familiar friendship Mr.. Blacksnake
ventured into the dingy and went q
fishing with me- After that he became
my regular companion. but many gen.
erations of oppression had made him
suspicious of my race, and If made a
violent motion he was over the side in
a second and swimming ashore for
dear life like an animated corkscrew.
On such occasions l invariably found
him waiting for ne with an appetite
sharpened by his bath.
Il do not know how intimate we
might have become but for the sad
sequel which cut short his earthly ca
reer. One day was called away, and
during my absence two neighbors re-
paired to the bank of the stream with
the intention Of doing little fishing
from the dingy. AS they approached
it a large blacksnake wriggled up to
them i'm a confidential manner. While
one of them was nearly paralyzed with
fear the other raised heavy stone
and letting it fall, my harmless COM
panion was no more. / am an old
man now. but l never priced a friend

Big Timber ia the Northwest.

Capt. +. Farnham. the pioneer lum-
oerman. speaking of big timber. said:
Il think the biggest stick of timber

ago. 1t was 140 feet in length and SO
x30 inches square. 1t was shipped to

How large stick do YOU think
could be cut on Puget Sound?"
Il think that it might be possible TO
get out one perhaps $50 feet long and
S0x30 inches square at the small end.
Such n stick could not be found near
the coast. however. One would have
to 20 into the interior for it. A great
deal of care would have To be exercised

The largest tree in the world is in

Feathered Pirates.

A pair of robins. rs has been their
custom for several years past, recently
commenced building their summer
home in an elm tree on the sidewalk in
front of my house. says q contributor
to Forest and Stream. and the work
went bravely on. with song and rapid
fiutter of wings. Suddenly the songs
ceased and work on the nest stopped.
But it was not left alone, for band OF
miserable sparrows attacked. and. II

struction than the robins had been In
its construction.
A few DAYS later the robins began
another nest in tall maple tree near
by. and the work was pushed rapidly.
But n few DAYS since 1t was evident
that something was wrong again.
There was great cutlery on the part
of the robins, and an unmuslcal
chatter by pugnacious sparrows. The
latter were again victorious, and ut
once began 10 demolish the nearly
finished nest. which work they soon
completed-strings. grass, feathers,
etc. being scattered promiscuousIy
about.
This was not all. nor the worst, for
the male robin was seen hanging by a
cord fastened to its neck and one wing
dead, and not more than ten feet from
the place where the nest had been.
The sight attracted the attention OF
passers by. but IL was so high that
none cared to ascend the tree to get the
bird.
