Now Retire Behind Their Mothers and In

This charming product of the western
world has come into great prominence
of late years in literature and in foreign
life, aad has attained a notoriety Hat

pride. No institution has been better

tramway and the Pullman ears. Her
enterprise, her daring, her freedom
from conventionality have been the
theme of the novelists and the horror of
the dowagers having marriageable

American girl has been quoted high.

Consequently the American girl of de-

of lieutenant in the army purchased n
pair of long black gloves, which she
wore TO a ball that evening. When she
arrived home she found her hands
stained with black dye. and one finger,
on which there had been the prick of a
needle, was slightly swollen.
The next day the arm was decidedly
swollen and physician was sum

no particular danger in it-especially as
the lady was in good spirits. That
morning the husband said good-by to
her cheerfully, but the noon found n

have his wife die in his arms. The
poison from the glove had reached a.
shoulder and caused her death.

Electric Call Lamps.

The incandescent light has been
turned to very neat and highly con-
venient use in London. A silent call"
is attached to any building for the pur-
pose of calling vehicle. Two lamps
are suspended outside, one red and the
other green, and by pressing a button
IN the entrance hall one or other of the
lamps can be lighted at will. The red
hight brings To the door the conservative
''growler." and the green light sum-
mons hansom. This new idea has
been SO much appreciated by Londoners
That 1t Is now proposed to establish a
system of carriage calls for theaters
and other places of amusement by
means of which carriage could be
called from within the entrance hall bv

ALBERT EDWARD.

His Game at the Duke of RIchmond's
Country seat Some Years Ago.
II Is not generally known that the
prince of Wales breach of hospitality
in playing baccarat in defiance of the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first offense
against the laws of hospitality and also
of good taste, says the New York Re
corder. lie acted in very much the
same fashion some years ago at Good
wood, the country seat of the duke of
Richmond. Ever since his marriage
the prince of Wales has been in the
habit of visiting the duke during the
annual Goodwood races, with the prin-
cess and large party Of royal guests.
The duke of Richmond, who is now
an old man, is very independent of
mind and possesses great force of
character. His horror for gambling is
well known and when, n few years
ago, the princes taste for baccarat be
came tho talk of London, the duke, on
the occasion of the heir apparent's next
visit, told him of his aversion to games
of hazard, and exacted a pledge from
him that under no circumstances should
baccarat be played during his stay.
The duke makes an invariable rule of
retiring every night punctually at ten
o'clock, no matter who Is present, and,
confiding in the promise of the prince,
although it had been somewhat reluct-
antly given, the old peer went quietly
to bed at his usual time. On the third
day of the races, however, the duke.
who had as usual hidden his royal
guests good night at ten o'clock, had
occasion to come downstairs again
about an hour later.
His horror and Indignation NAV he
better understood than described at
finding the whole royal party seated
around n table in the library and play
ing baccarat for very high stakes, with
the prince of Wales acting as banker.
SO great was the dukes wrath that he
openly protested to the prince against
the way in which his confidence had
been betrayed, the latter presenting but
sorry spectacle during this algarade,
for he could find no good excuse for his
extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up in
great confusion, and 1t was never re-
sumed during that or any of the subse-
cinent visits at Goodwood.

RAISING SNAKES.
a Genuine Reptile Farm on n Very Large
scale.

A Genuine Reptile Farm on n Very Large
scale.
a Mr. Childs is probably the only
bona fidc snake charmer in America,
says Il writer in the New York sun. He
has been in town seeing about placing
his fall snake crop 1t seems very odd
TO hear him talk of my crop of snakes"
but he means every word OF it, for he
has a genuine snake farm in the south
west
The farm proper consists of n pen
some twenty-five feet in diameter. In
the center of this pen is n raised plat
form. accessible in safety from the out
side, on which visitors can promenade
out of reach of the deadly fsngs. In the
woods and wild swamps surrounding
the place legions of moccasins, cotton
mouths, rattlesnales and copperheads
are found. These wilds are the seed
bins from which at times Mr. Childs
draws to replenish his farm. AT one
side of the inclosure is rabbit warren
in which live some fifty or sixty bun
nies. Their number, however, is con-
stantly changing. They never die of
old age. They are the food of the
snakes
Between five hundred and six hundred
reptiles are in the farm at time. Only
the larger ones are used as they yield n
greater amount of oil, skin and rattles
than the small ones. Mr.. Childs expects
to harvest eight hundred ounces of oil n
season and has made his price two dol
lars per ounce. Aside from the oil he
viii have a handsome crop of rattle.
and tanned skins.
When an ounce or so of fresh oil is de-
sired Mr.. Childs enters the pen and
either whistles with his lips or uses a
flute. The snakes at once glide out of
their holes and gather round him, max
ing a peculiar purring sound with
their rattles to denote their pleasure
Selecting the largest and fattest, Childs
picks it up and cuts its head off with
his pocketknife.

what they cost; how many new men and old

planned his position to the rebellious

companies left for their homes on a spe-

to Briceville and Coal Creek at once.
