WhistIing in Germany.

One has to be careful how and what
he whistles in Germany. The other day
a peasant at Diedenhofen, Lorraine, was
arrested and brought before the magis-
trate on the charge of showing disrespect
to the German authorities by whistling
the "Marseillaise. The man contended
that the march he had whistled was one
he had learned when he was serving in
the Brunswick Hussars. The court made
the policeman who had arrested the
prisoner whistle the 'Marseillaise" to see
if he knew the famous hymn. Then the
prisoner was ordered to whistle the
march he claimed to have heard in the
Hussars. 1t proved to be suspiciously
similar to the "Marseillaise,~ and the
unlucky whistler was fined fifteen marks
for his indiscretion. The policeman was
not fined for whistling the air.--St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

4 Well Full of Snakes.

Connecticut evidently is bent on Civ
ing Georgia tussle for the position of
chief center for the distribution of snake
stories This one comes from Norwich:
A man here the other day took the
stone cover off an old dry we'll in his
pasture and saw at the bottom of it a
ball of braided black snakes bigger than
lager beer keg. He ran to the house
and got his revolver and a box of cart
ridges. He blew in all his cartridges,
and the well was boiling over with es-
Gaping snakes when he got through with
them. He got eighteen dead snakes in
the well, and more than three times
chat number got away. The biggest
snake bagged was over seven feet long
and the smallest one more than four
feet.

Cigarette Making by Ladies'.

The ladies employed by the Gentle
woman's Cigarette society, London, re-
ceive sixpence per 100 cigarettes made,
more than twice the sweating price
generally paid. The best brands are
kept, and every cigarette is rolled by
hand, an important consideration, as
every tobacco epicure knows to his cost.
Notwithstanding the fact that the work
cannot, even when literally paid, be
very lucrative, hundreds of applications
have been received from every part of
England from women anxious to get
work of any kind, however hard, how
ever paid. A special brand of soft ciga-
rette is kept for the feminine clients of
the society.-London Tit-Bits.

up and when she went to town sold it to
the local druggist for two dollars as a
curiosity. A woman as enterprising as
that doesn't get scared easily.-Detroit
