A SNAKE STORY.

This is New Jersey snake story and
appeals forcibly to the imagination. A
New York journal says
A hoop.snake chased architect Rufus

feet long. had big head and a barbed
stinger on its tail half foot long. 1t
started after Rufus, and he took to his
heels when he saw the monster move
down the rocks. He got half mile
start, but looking back at bend Of the
road he saw the snake grasp its tail in its
mouth, forming hoop, that swiftly
rolled after him. The oop-snake came
on with 0electric speed. When the
frightful creature was within a hundred
yards OF him, Van Iderstine darted be.
hind big oak. The hoop.snake swerved
and coming on in blind rage, drove his
spear.like tail into the tree.
1t was trapped. Rufus hurried to
Orange for help to return and destroy
the monster. Two hours later half q
dozen men, with shotgups. assembled the
mountain. The hoop.snake was gone.
1t had pulled its tail out Of the hollow,
horny stinger, which was left buried in
the ltree. 1t was so deeply imbedded
that only chips from its edges could be
broken off
Poison from the singer was killing
the tree. and its foliage was curled and
withered when the hoop-snake hunters
first saw it. An ugly green liquid
dripped from the hollow stinger like sap
from sugar tree Spite and deadened the
grass it fell upon.

As few people realize the vast bulk Of
gold coin that is shipped annually from
one country to another, and are unac.
quainted with the manner of shipments,
the following from the American Banker
will be interesting:
The Bank of America is the largest
single shipper of gold from New York,
and indeed from the United States.
Shipments are made in stout kegs, very
much like the ordinary beer key. Every
one contains $50, 900 in coin or bar gold.
The latter is the favorite Of these ship
ments, since the Government has per-
mitted the Sub.Treasury to exchange
coin for bar gold, as coin, in a single
million dollar shipment, is liable to loss
by abrasion of from eight to 20 ounces,
or from $l2S to $500; while the bars only
lose about threef ourths of that value.
Where coin is sent, double eagles are
preferred. They are put in stout can
vass bags, each containing l25 double
eagles, or $4,000; and ten bags fill each
keg. About the only precaution taken
against tampering with the kegs is a
treatment of kegs ends technically
known as cred taping" Four holes are
bored at equal intervals in the projecting
rim of the slaves above the head. Red
tape is run through these, crossing on
the kegs head, the ends meeting at the
center, where they are sealed to the
head by the hardest wax and stamped
with the consignor's name. The average
insurance is about 81, 500 per 81, 900, 000
There is an expense of about - per kee
for packing and carriage aboard ship, Oh
5000 for the same sum and the inevita
BILE loss by abrasion, whatever it may
prove to be. The great Wall Stree
firms ship from $25, 900. 600 to $40, 900,
600 annually. Some of these have fo
years insured themselves, and asser
that the saving has been sufficient to re
place a loss Of 100000. These ar
large figures, but this has become
country of large figures and affairs.
The loss, by abrasion, on every 81 900,
600 in gold coin shipped across the AT
lantc is said to be between one and tw
thousand dollars.

PAT AND THE RAT.
Cured of His Cruelty. but not DEPRIVE
ed of Appetite or Cunniug.

The following was related as fact and |
the Gazette gives it without comment:
II heard story of an Irishman the
other day." said friend at the club.
"This Irishman was in the habit of going
home drunk every night of his life and
beating his poor wife Biddy in the good
old fashion. He didn't lick her because
he disliked her or wanted to punish her,
but just because he
thought it the proper thing to do. FL
nally, however, the patient woman could
stand it no longer an appealed to the
priest. The reverend father went to her
home that evening and waited for Pat.
He came, drunk as usual, and the good
priest took him in hand.
"Pat, says he, "your drunk"
"Yis, your reverence" said Pat, "I'm
feelin purity good"
"Well, how long is this goin' to con.
tinue, I'd like to known
"Jist as long as can get a droph of
the creatur," says Pat, 81 can't stop
dhrinkin."
"Now, see here, Pat" says the good
father, "Ill tell you what. You'll stop
this right here tonight. If you ever get
drunk again I'll turn you into rat-d'ye
mind that If l don't see we I'll know
about it just the same whether We get
drunk or not, and if ye do get drunk,
into rat we go. Now remember that
there's good man.
"The priest went away and Pat was
docile that night; but the next night
when he came home and held open the
the door one glance showed Biddy that
he was loaded to the hat. She gagged
his jag at once and saw that he was in
fighting trim, so she lodged behind the
table in an attitude of defense
"'Don't be afraid, darling, said Pat
in subdued key, as he steadied himself
before dropping into chair. I'm not
going to bate you this night. I'm not
goin to lay the weight of me finger on
we. Iwant We to be kind to me tonight
darlin, and to remember if we kin, the
days when we was swatehearts, and
when l always kind to ye and ye loved
me. You know his reverence was here
last night, and he tould me if ever got
drunk again he'd turn me into rat.
I'm dhrunk this mint darlin. The
praste didn't see me, but he knows I'm
drunk, and this night into rat 60

It is pleasing news to learn that Post
master General Wannamaker's expert.
ment OF. extending the free delivery OF
mail matter to small towns is likely to
prove successful. At some of the places
where the experimental service is being
tried the increase in revenues has been
considerably more than enough to meet
the increased expenditure. and at all
there has heen an increase, and Mr..
Wannamaker Is now at work upon a
comprehensive scheme for free delivery
in all the small towns and villages, which
Congress will be asked to adopt. This
is an improvement that is much needed,
and one that any official might be proud
Of having originated. OF course the
democratic Congress, with its accus-
toned policy Of obstruction, may refuse
TO provide for this improvement. If it
does it will only by its refusal furnish
another argument for the election OF
republican House Of Representatives as
we'll as President, next year.

The attention Of the Anglo.maniacs
is respectfully called to the street riots
which have occurred each Sunday for
several weeks past at East. bourne, a
fashionable watering place, whose "high
toned. patrons undertake weekly to mob
the Salvation Army because it persits in
parading on Sunday. Perhaps we have.
MT yet reached the heights of English
culture in this country, but it is certain
that the patrons of our most plebian
watering places would not so far forget
themselves as to engage in street riot
under any provocation, at any time.
Street riots have never been popular in
America and the few that have taken
place in our cities have been instigated
and mostly taken part in, by for
signers who had not become accustomed
to American manners.
