"Talk about the early martyrs" said
lady, as she came .out of crowded

am, just up from an attack of influenza,
and I'll warrant myself to have another
attack, and all for the selfish stupidity
of one old woman with fan. / wish
people had more consideration or sense

to sneeze and pull her wraps closer
about her throat.
'And she sat there by your side and

there isn't any remedy, that know Of,
when once we are dead from some

But it is easy enough to use a fan

A REMARKABLE REPTILE.
Tho Superiority of the European Press In
Describing snakes.

Describing snakes.
Excellent as are American newspa-
pers in some respects, il may rs well be
admitted that, in certain feats of de-
tail they are surpassed by the press
abroad This reflection is specially in
duccd just now by consideration of a
page devoted TO snakes by an esteemed
an illustrated foreign contemporary,
the London Graphic A particularly
Interesting serpent among those repre-
sented is the "swallow-snake,' so called
because, when the inclination seizes
him, he takes his tail in his mouth,
swallowing some of it, and thus trans
forms himself into hoop, which rolls
along with extreme velocity in pursuit
IF prey. Judging from the illustration
the chief occupation of the swallow
snake is to chase bicyclists along the
roads of India, always overtalling
the rider, unless he chances to
have bigger wheel than the
snake can form. a fifteen
foot swallow-snake, giving wheel
diameter of about five feet, can catch
any bicyclist in India. From the de.
scription the swallow-snalle must be
nearly allied to the American hoop
snake, which, as is well known, takes
its tail in its mouth and chases boys
out of meadows. The swallow-snake,
though, appears to be non-poisonous,
in singular contrast with the nature of
the hoop-snalie, which, when angered,
is poisonous throughout its entire
length, as was demonstrated in the
case of the hired man who struck reck-
lessly with hoe-haudle at hoop
snake rolling past him, the hoe-handle
Immediately swelling up to the size of
mans leg.
But what called attention to the
superiority of the European press Ia
the matter of detail has not yet been
definitely alluded to, 1t was Il para
graph in the description which said
that this swallow-snake when it takes
its tail in its mouth always swallows
it to the extent of one foot!
Here is accuracy of observation and eX-
preston which, if equaled, has GER
tainly never been eXceled on this side
of the Atlantic. Eren in describing
the famous Illinois glass-snalie, To the
habits of which the Tribune has in the
past devoted some attention, no such
completeness of account was had
That the glass-snake when struck flies
to pieces, which pieces, when danger is
past, find each other and unite, forming
a new snake again, has been all told
but how long it would take snake OF

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

AN English writer is preparing
critical volume dealing with half
dozen of the great authors of the cen
tury. Acting ON the assumption that
success is the consequence OF mar
riage between talent and environment,
he works out the idea by examining in
each case what were the early associa-
tions, accomplishments and tastes of his
subject.
---Ex.Qucen Isabella of Spain went
TO n ball in Paris one evening recently.
The ball was at the house of the Prin'
cess de Leon. There were two thousand
guests there, all in costume, and the
queen, who acted as the guest of honor
was seated upon throne placed in the
center of the room. The costumes rep
resented historical scenes, characters in
fiction, and were, taken altogether,
highly sensational,
Am English paper offers an answer
to question often spoken: The Au-
thors' society is asking why the pub
fishers don cut the edges of their three
volume novels. The answer is simple.
Ninc-tenths of the public buy book by
its appearance, and "Paternoster row"
loves "a fat book" Now, if the edges
were cut, thicker and more expensive
paper is needed to produce the same
bulk than if the edges were left uncut,
