A few days ago the Post Office De-
partment received from a postmaster
his resignation, with the recommen-
daClon OF MS Qeputy Tor the success
sion, and the explanation that it was
necessary that his resignation should
be accepted because ne was about to
leave that part of the country for an
indefinite period. This excited the
curiosity of the department officials
who investigated the matter and found
that the phrase San indefinite period
was exceedingly well chosen. The
postmaster wrote his resignation in
jail where he was under Indictment
for killing two men, and as he had
no means of knowing how serious a
view of his conduct would be taken
by the judge and the jury, and there
we're also possibilities of lynching
party, the postmaster could not state
with any degree of accuracy no w
long he would be gone.

The Century Club.


No other club in New York is at all
like the Century. 1t is not swell or
fashionable; it is not famous for its cuis-
Inc, its furniture or its entertainments;
but it is delightful by reason of the artis-
tic and literary atmosphere that prevades
the place. Half the excellent pictures
on the walls were painted by members
Of the club, half the books in the library
were written by members. The rooms
aie all large, and most of them a little
dark. Open wood fires make the place
cosy. The dining room has one great
table, where all who come dine and chat.
The man next you may be literary
parsonage, a professor from Yale, or an
artist with white hair and reputation.
Richard Henry Stoddard comes in and
speaks a voice that no other man dare
use in the club house. At the luncheon
there is brazier at command, and the
members may, if they WILL and as they
often do, concoct what dish they choose.
There Ia no show, no fuss, no array OF
servants Scores of members are almost
in rebellion at the prospect of leaving
4 the old house. Some have threatened II

The smoothness of the pavements in
Berlin affords immense relief in dimin-
ishing the confusing noise and jar of the
streets Waking early in the morning
at hotel in the center of the business
section. one perceives no rafting of
wagons, only the chatter of the horses
hoofs. so that it seems as il cavalry regi-
ments were continually passing. The
smooth streets have also made cycling
very popular, and tricycles are extern
sjvely used for business purposes The
broad sidewalks are laid with tagging
in the center, and between that and the
curbstonc are paved with small, mosaic
like stones that form smooth surface
and are easily removed and replaced.
Beneath this space are laid the gas pipes,
telegraph and electric light wires, pneu-
matte tubes, ETC., so that in laying or re-
pairing these the street pavement is moi
disturbed. The wires of the arc lights
as well as of the incandescent, all arr
carried underground. and in Berlin
there are not to be seen the insight,

The Home of the Telephone.

We remember well number of lead
ing Brantford gentlemen being guests OF
Professor Bell at his residence on Tutello
Heights to experiment with very crude
telephone which Graham Bell, then teach
ing visible speech Tan invention, by the
way, of Melville Bells in Boston,, had
been working at. 1t answered the pur-
pose. of course, but was not nearly as
handy or effective as the present instru-
ment. 1t was here. too, that the first
telephone line was strung from Professor
Bells TO the city, some two miles, so that
3rantford may very justly be designated
the birthplace of the telephone, IT not
the birthplace of the inventor, who came
from Scotland as young man with his
father. 1t was the development OF the
telephone system and the prospect OF the
munificent returns which followed which
induced Professor Melville Bell, himself
a man of wealth and endowed with higl
mental and inventive gifts. to leave here
much to the regret Of the people o
Brantford and. we believe. to his own.-

Rat.Catching Snakes

Whatever virtues creeping thing may

ing self is destined to travel. \ snake
is doubtless rcpusivc to the instincts Of
every one, but there are some who pro
tcss to endure their rcpUgnaucc for the
sake OF rapacious appetite which snakes
are said to have for rats.
Cases of this kind can be cited on
Front row, in Memphis, the proprictors
OF two houses i'll particular having Il
snake i2 each Of their two cellars, which
no one Is permitted to modest or harm in
any WAY.
The larger Of the two is nearly 10 feet
long, and notwithstanding it is doc.c to
approach and apparently otherwise do
mcsticatcd, its bite is poisonous, and on
divers occasions, when in bad humor, it
has struck at unsuspecting employees.
1t is said 20 have . den in the hiuff
where it goes during wet and rainy sea-
sons, remaining until the appearance OF
dry weather. This snake is more par

would doubtless make short work Of him
if it could secretly be done without ac-
tual combat, On IL number Of occasions
attempts have been made by parties
whose duties brought them in contact
with the reptile TO administer poison,
but thus far it has either had no effect
or else the rat eater attends to his own

The snake is jet black, rs sleek as a

neck, breaking into a bow shaped mark
on its throat. 1t is said TO exercise
wonderful ingenuity in seeking out 70
dents, which, when caught, are swal-

California Grizzlies.

There were plenty Of grizzlies around
the mountains tiftcra years ago, says a
California correspondent of the New
York Tribune, and hear of them, even
now. Every one in the mountains has
an immense respect for the grizzly. An
old fronticrsman tells me that few
years ago he was hunting stray cattle,
ard he came on new settlers cabin be-
side an oak IN a mountain valley. lie
stayed with the settler over night, sleep
ing in a blanket before the fire. During
the night they heard n great noise out
side. The settler looked hastily out and
reported that n large bear was at the
mcat-safe, which hung under the oak
tree. The lronticrsman WAS asked
to shoot it, but said he would
not risk it, with only revolver and
a shotgun. The wife Of tue settler re-
marked that they were both towards,
and she would drive it eff with n broom.
They locked the door, prevented her
from going out and shortly cfter heard
the meatslfc fall and roll into the
gulch. In the morning they found TINT
an old horse had become entangled in
the ropes Of the meat safe, and finally
tore it down in his struggles and
dragged it down the ravine. The old
frotiersman AID the new settler were
obliged in self defence to retire to
the headwaters of the San Antonio
within q week and stay there until they
had killed a grizzly apiece.

A specimen Of the species of acacia
commonly called the angry tree was
brought from Australia and set out at
Virginia, New. When the sun sots the
leaves fold up and the tender twgs coil
tightly, like Il little pigs t,il. 1t the
shoots are handled the leaves rustic and
move uncasily for time. If this queer
plant is moved from one pot to another
it seems angry, and the leaves stand out
in all directions like quilts on a porcu-
pine. A most pungent and sickening
odor, said to resemble that given off by
rattlesnakes when annoyed, fills the air,
ard it Is only after an hour or so that the
leaves fold in the usual way.
