"Why cannot women vote as well as men

Snake skins and Eggs.

There is very handsome pair of
boots in the display of feathers at the
National Museum made out of rattle
snake skins. In some parts of India
the hides of serpents are used for orna-
mental clothes on account of their un-
common beauty. Such garments are
very highly valued. Snakes eggs are
often eaten. Dr. Buckland tells about
some that he put on the shelf of green
house to see if the heat of the sun would
hatch them. One morning several OF
them were gone. Everybody denied
touching them. At the same time a
certain miss, then an inmate of the
nursery, was suddenly taken i'll. A
physician was sent for and the sobbing
culprit reluctantly confessed she had
eaten "some large sugar plums which
she had found on a shelf in the green
house. She had, in fact, made repast
on the snakes eggs under the delusion
that she was robbing the cook of pre-
serves put out to dry.-Chicago Herald.

Pussy Among GIassware.

Did you ever see cat climb over o
lot of glasses on shelf behind bar?
In certain local saloon they have a
member of the feline tribe that owns
the place. At closing time every even
ing Tom climbs up on the counter and
eats the crackers and cheese which the
free-lunch fiends have left behind. In
front of large mirror number of wine
glasses are arranged in the form of a
pyramid. The counter, for that matter,
is full of delicate glassware, but the
way that cat will climb over the ware,
up on the top of the pyramid and down
again without breaking a piece beats
the skill of a juggler. Not long since
Tom was chasing mouse. The little
fellow took refuge on the shelf. With
one spring the cat landed there also, and
the spectators expected to hear mighty
crash of glass, The cat, however, knew
his business, and he lighted so gently
as to scarcely move any of the pieces.
He caught the mouse, too, and was
given a glass of beer for his care =
