A COWS TAIL SNAKE.
The Remarkable Reptile Seen by Sober
 Wisconsin Man.

The Remarkable Reptile Seen by Sober
 Wisconsin Man.
 ' Snake stories grow alarlningly scarce of later years, but a correspondent of Natures Realm relieves the dearth somewhat by telling one which has never been printed before but which ought to have been told just after the war. The correspondent says: ''In the fall of 1869 was in La Crosse, Wis, and hay ing some business in La Crescent, on the Minnesota side of the Mississippi, I crossed the river in ferry boat. There is, or was, an arm of the river on the Minnesota side called, in western par lance, slew Over this there is a bridge; on going over it 1 saw a snake coiled on a butt that had been sawed off tree of about two feet in diameter, and it was floating in the water. The snake was so different from any animal of the kind I had ever before seen that gazed at it for fully five minutes. It was evidently asleep and within ten feet of me-was, in fact, directly under me as leaned over the side of the bridge. The slew had no current in it, for the water was very low; I had, therefore, ample opportunity to obserye the snake. It was red, and, more ex- traordinary still, it was thickly covered with hair. It resembled no snake had ever seen before. It was exactly like red cows tail. The hair on it was fully an inch long and as thick as that grow ing on cows tail. Having no means of capturing the snake, determined to make it show itself, and flung piece of stick at it. It awolle at the splash in the water, uncoiled itself and dived into the slough. Itwas certainly six feet long or more. have told some dozens of people in La Crosse about it, among them MT. Davidson, of the Clyde house, but none of them remember to have ever seen such snake. Mir. Davidson is the best known sportsman in La Crosse, and it is strange that he never should have seen any snake like it"

POISONOUS FLOWERS.
A Beautiful Greenhouse Plant Which Is
 Possessed of ToxicsI Qualities.

A Beautiful Greenhouse Plant Which Is
 Possessed of ToxicaI Qualities.
 The poisoning of several greenhouse workInen by contact with some green house plant was noticed in our columns the ether day, says the New York Sun. The name Of the plant was not men toned. but we suppose it must have been the Chinese primrose that is tech nicaily known as primula obcOnica. This primrose is one of the most beau tiful of the genus, and 1t is now in full bloom in our conServdtorieS and offered for sale in the florists shops. Its poison ous character is well known to expert enced florists. After handling it they are apt to be affected with an inflam- nation Of the skin of the hands and arms, and often of the face, of an ecze- matous type.
 This lovely little plant is native of central China, where it was first dis covered by Nlr. Marles, botanical col lector, wlo sent seeds of it to England. Plants raised from these seeds bloomed for the first time in Europe in Septem- Der, 1860. In the following year it was
 
 Magazine, and three years later col ored plate of it appeared in the Garden newspaper. It created a sensation in European gardening circles, and on ac- count Of it's easy growth, neat habits and winter-blooming nature, and the great profusion and beauty of its bios sons, it has found much favor with En- cr1:cL o17H al Hc1.iCfc
 As it seeded and multiplied freely, it soon found it's way to this country, where, till two years ago, it was the reigning favorite both in private and commercial gardens. When it's poison ous nature, however, became generally known it's popularity received a de- cided check; but it is such a beautiful little plant that even now cultivators dislike to give it up altogether.
 The whole plant-leaves, petioles and flower stems-is covered more or less thicl1ly with jointed hairs, and it is supposed that these hairs cause the poisonous irritation by breaking off and entering the skin of the hand. But all who touch the plant are not poisoned by it. We know of workmen who can handle it with absolute impunity at any time, while others are always sus- ceptible to it's evil influence. The back of the hands, between the fingers and the bare arms are the parts affected; the hard palm of the hand escapes un- injured. The face and eyes of some workmen are also poisoned by it, al- though these parts never touch the plants. One person whom we know of can handle the leaves without any smarting pain, such as the stinging of nettle, and no priclking as if a cactus hair had entered the skin; but after an hour or two the itching begins, and lasts more or less for several days. In fact, the effect upon the skin presents a good deal the appearance of parsnip poisoning, but it is never so virulent or so lasting as that caused by poison ivy.

VARIETIES OF SHINES.
Boot-Blaclling as High Art in the City
 of Boston.

Boot -BlacI1ing as a High Art in the City
 of Boston.
 There is pleasing mystery about the methods of the boot-blaclzing fraternity which do not pretend to fathom, writes Taverner in the Boston Post. Indeed, it has always seemed to me more satis- factory to take them on trust than to seek to penetrate their meaning. For this reason 1 never ask the professor who does me the honor to set off my personal appearance by giving what he guarantees to be ''boSs shine" to my boots, to show me his diploma; as long as he does his work well, I am indiffer- ent to the authority under which he practices his art. But was sorely tempted the other day to depart from my custom in this respect on seeing on a ''professor's'' placard the following list of boot-blacking operations and the prices for them:
 Opera shine, five cents; oil shine, ten cents; Nubian shine, fifteen cents.
 Not wishing to appear ignorant of such matters of importance in relation to the polish of the understanding and feeling also that it is always we'll to leave something to the imagination, I refrained from probing the mystery. Sometime or other, however, propose to ascertain the nature of these differ ent ''shines" by patronizing the ''pro- fessor'' who advertises them, though have feeling that it would be what the socialists call ''culpable luxury" to pay fifteen cents for ''Nubian shine" un- less it has properties beyond those which, in my ignorance, are associated with 1t.

Lincoln's First Love.

The grave of Annie Rutledge, the early love of Abraham Lincoln, will soon have fitting monument. The body, says the New York Times, which for nearly fifty five years has rested in the cemetery at New Concord, Ill.,, was recently ex- humed and buried in Oakland cemetery in this city. It was to rescue from oblivion the remains of a woman so closely and dearly related to Lincoln that subscription was started some months ago among the citizens of Peters burg for the purpose of erecting a suit able monument. The difficulty in the way was in discovering the grave, which had been beaten down by the storms of years. Old settlers say that a storm any time within a year after the funeral would bring Lincoln the most violent paroxysms of grief. Annie Rutledge died at the age of nineteen of broken heart, caused by the desertion of Henry McNeil, her lover. It was then that Lincoln began his wooing, and the pair became engaged, but Miss Rutledge died before the date of the marriage arrived.

A NIisprized Friend.

The baggage-smasher is gradually as- serting himself and convincing the American public that they have done him grievous wrong. One of the guild spoke out at length short time ago in the Youths Companion and made it plain that the so-called bagga age-smasher took up trunks tenderly, lifted them with care, and was, take him for all in all, large-sized public benefactor. Now figures are given out showing that 900. GOO pieces of baggage were handled in the union depot at Chicago last year, not to mention 6O,OO0 tons of mail and 800, 900 packages, boxes, etc. Yet of this immense sum total the damage from breakage, theft and going astray was less than $50. That is a good rec ord, truly. Some day the baggage smasher will get his rights, and we shall erect monuments to him as one of the chief blessings vouchsafed to humanity.

Flowers at Funerals.

Societies for the abolition of flowers at funerals are being organized in Baden, Germany. Tine parent society in Wiesbaden was founded by clergy men against the bitter opposition of all gardeners in the neighborhood, who denounced their action in public meet ings and in the newspapers. The direct impulse to the movement was given by the repeated experience that at house funerals the flowers occupied so much space that inadequate room was left fer the mourners. At the funeral of a high official named Von Wurmb, re- gently, fifteen hundred dollars worth of flowers so blocked the halls and filled the space. around the coffin that the half of the persons who wished to attend the services were compelled to wait in the rain outside, The new society pro poses to allow only relatives to send flowers hereafter. ..---.

No MORE KlNKY wool.
Colored Women of Boston Are Beginning
 to Wear Straight Hair.


 to Wear Straight Hair.
 The colored women of this city have learned that it is possible to take the kink out of their hair, and there is quite a sensation over the discovery, says the Boston Globe. The rush to have crisp locks strengthened is becoming general, although few of those who have sue cessfully been smoothed out are willing to admit that their hair was ever other wise than straight and glossy.
 The idea was introduced by young colored woman from Virginia. She herself has a glossy bang and black hair as straight as that of the late Sit ting Bull. She says her own hair was formerly crisp and kinl1y, but that an old Canadian woman told her how to make it straight, and this information she is now imparting for a considera- tion. The customer is told first to wash her hair and come with it we'll dried. She does so, and then the operation be- gins.
 A preparation that is amber-colored and of the consistency of cream is taken from large jar and rubbed thoroughly into the hair, and, where it was entire ly lusterless before, it begins to assume a gloss. This is rubbed so thoroughly into the scalp that none of the hairs can fail to have received a portion. Then vigorous brushing is resorted to, and the short hair begins to lengthen. If it were an inch long before, it is now fully two inches long, and if before it had been done up in what old-fashioned Southern people term ''plaits" it is now ready to be rolled into a loose twist, or a loose coil at the back. The operation takes about four hours, and is perma- nent in it's effects. It gives the colorcd woman a very Indian-lil1e appearance, and the few who will admit having been treated claim that they did it merely to make the labor of combing their hair so much the easier. One of them said:
 'One thing know, and that is that it is terribly convenient to have straight hair. 1 never before realized what blessing it was. Before, I dreaded the task of combing 1t, and now I don't mind it at all.''
 Hair-straightening promises to be the fad among the colored ladies of Boston.

Alligator Incuhators.

Quite a business has sprung up in Florida of matching alligator eggs by an artificial incubator. It seems, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, that the demand for alligators was 50 lively that the natives could not catch enough to supply tho market. Some genius con- ceived the idea of saving himself the trouble of splashing round in the water after young alligators, so he got lot of eggs, put them in an incubator, and matched out as fine lot of young rep tiles as any one would wish to see. They were as wicked in disposition as the oldest and ugliest gator that ever scared picl1aninny or devoured a vel low dog. He fed them at first on oatmeal, and after a few days of Scotch diet taught them to eat meat by choking them until they opened their mouths and then dropping bit down their throats. The idea of raising gators for the market toolSwell, and now several incubators are always at work hatch ing out the ugly creatures, and half the little .darkies in the villages are pol1ing in the sand banks all day long getting eggs for the artificial hatcheries,

Shooting Indians.

The war has developed some fine shots in the army, as the large percent age of fatally wounded Indians shows. The finest shot ever saw, says writer in the Chicago Tribune, was made by little German who worked Hotchkiss gun. A wagon containing three hOstiles was passing along ridge eighteen yards distant. The Dutchman sighted along his piece and cut loose. The shell struck the wagon just under the seat and the whole outfit apparently exhaled. It was there and it was not. The hostiles never knew what caused it. Then I saw soldier with Springfield kill an Indian at eight hundred yards The buck was horseback and was drop ping bullets in among us from Win chester quite too frequently to be who'll ly pleasant. A private took a sight at him and knocked him from his horse with the first shot. The Indian at tempted to rise and the major who was conducting the affair advised the soldier to try another. The second did the work, for with few contortions the Brule spread himself out on the prairie, dead.

The flashing of new names in the worlds horizon is always delightful to behold. Here is Edison, who ten years ago was unheard of, whose fame is now blazoned OCT the world. Here is Koch, of Berlin, known to but few at this time of last year, now shining aloft. Here are new names appearing from, time to time in literature. some 'H them luminous.

Infant ViolinIsts.

There are hundreds of little Boston girls from five to nine years old, learn ing to play the violin. They are almost
 itirely the children of weIl-to-do par
 Its. who desire their daughters to have an accomplishment something out of the ordinary. These little ones, of course, cannot handle an ordinary vio- lin at first, and begin their lessons on a miniature affair. Usually they know nothing of music when they begin, and have to learn that and the technique of re instrument together. Girls make
 tier violinists than boys, and the vio-
 seems to me essentially a feminine instrument. ----.-----
