VENOM0Us LITTLE SNAKES.
Vipers Found in England and Many Other
Countries.

Vipers Found in England and Many Other
Countries.
In England the only venomous snake is
the viper, which frequents chalky districts,
and is not to be found all over the country.
Perhaps these vipers are the most common
and vicious of the smaller snakes, seldom
growing longer than two feet. They abound
not only in warm countries, where forests
are thick and men are few, but also in the
coldest regions of Sweden, Norway, Russia
and even Siberia, where, according to the
Illustrated american, great many exist
owing to a stupid superstition among the
peasants that if viper is killed terrible
misfortune will soon befall the rash SLAYER.
The California viper builds itself little
mud hut, just its own length, and probably
half an inch thicker than its own body. 1t
is made of earth, fine gravel and sometimes
leaves are mixed in the construction of this
curious abode. 1t is lined with a soft, silky
substance, finer than cotton and silkier than
down. AT each end there are two little
doors, and when monsieur la maitre is half
way in one shuts, and when all the way in
the other closes, leaving the master of the
house as isolated and exclusive as Robinson
Crusoe on his desert island. One of these
wiper Shells" brought from California
lately, was so thoroughly sunbaked and
hardened that though more than two feet
long it could be dropped on the floor with
out breaking.

A New Condition of Membership Eligibility
In Their Constitution.
DETROIT, June 1S.-The National Asso-
citation of Life Underwriters were addressed
this morning by c. E. Willard, of New
York, in reference to establishing chair of
life insurance in Chicago University, and
he Endorsed the action of the Executive
Committee recommending that such a chair
be established. An interesting paper was
read by Charles 81. Ferguson, of Chicago,
on 'The Life Insurance Agent, His Qualif-
cations and Requirements, and several
changes in the constitution and bylaws
were made, one of which provides that no
person shall be eligible to hold Office in the
association except the regular agent, man
ager or superintendent Of agents of regu-
lar legal reserve, level premium and assess
ment companies, and was at first objected to
by some members who thought it would bar
out the Provident Savings Association.
The Secretary was instructed to cast one
ballot for the following officers: President,
Charles H. Raymond, of New York, General
Agent of the Mutual Life; Vice President,
]. Layton Register, of Philadelphia, Gen
eral Agent of the Equitable; Second Vice
President, Alexander Habison, Agent of
the New York Life at Hartford; Secretary,
E. H. Plummer, of the Berkshire Life,
Philadelphia; Treasurer. William Ratcliffe,
New England Mutual, New York City, and
a long list of members of the Executive
Committee. The next meeting will be held

LONGEVITY AND BEER.
What Statistics Taken in Munich Establish
in Regard to Health.

What Statistics Taken in Munich Establish
in Regard to Health.
The annual beer product of the world is
about II, 700, 900, 900 quarts. The amount of
beer for each person in the beer-drinking
countries of the world is between AZ and 43
quarts annually. In Germany, however,
the allowance to every man, woman and
child in the empire is more than twice that
quantity. In Bavaria the allowance is 219
quarts, in Munich 565 quarts. After de-
ducting from the city's population the
children under the beer-drinking age, and
the majority of the women, the result is
that the allowance of every man is about AZ
quarts day.
This astounding condition of affairs has
led medical men In Germany to investigate
almost constantly in recent years the effects
of excessive beer-drinking on the health.
The men and women who keep beer places
in Munich, as the heaviest beer consumers
in the world, were the subjects of such
medical investigation last spring. The av-
erage lifetime of persons in Munich who
pass the Goth year in good health is 90
years. The average lifetime is for
Proprietors of beer saloons. 5135
Proprietresses of beer saloons. 80
The significance of these figures can be
better understood in view of the fact that,
in Munich, men who keep wine rooms live
but 40 years, and women who keep wine
rooms but At.

TO CUT DOWN WAGES.
Window Glass Manufacturers Seeking to Re-
duce the Cost of oI,cr

Window Glass Manufacturers Seeking to Re-
duce the Cost of Labor.
A little cloud is creeping up on the horizon
OF the window glass manufacturers future.
1t takes the form of a prospective struggle
between the owners and workers when the
yearly scale is presented next month. There
Is an understanding among the manufact
urers that an united effort must be made this
year to cut down the cost of labor by at least
10 per cent, What view the Window Glass
Workers Association will take remains to be
seen, but there is strong assumption it will
resistit.
The object in reducing the wages in the
western district is to place the Western
manufacturers on terms of equality with
their Eastern brethren, who pay 10 per cent
less wages than obtains here. A reduction
In the cost will also enable them to compete
more successfully with the foreign glass,
and incidentally give the manufacturer
more profit. When the question comes up
for discussion after the annual shutdown on
the lst prox., it will be found to require
some vigorous debating before either side
will yield on its point.
stocks OF glass are lower this year than
during the corresponding period last year,
and the prospects for the fall business are
regarded as good, if no difficulty arises on
the wage question.

Brule Chiefs Talk Plainly to the Commits
sioners Negotiating With Them.
RAPID CITY, S. D., June 18.-Advices
from Pine Ridge Agency state that the com
mission for the transfer of the Brules held
session with some 600 Brules Wednesday,
The Indians said they wished to remain at
Pine Ridge. The matter rests entirely with
the Ogallalas now there, and a three-fourths
vote is required to effect the change. The
Ogallalas want portion of the lands trans
ferred, but the commissioner would not as
sent to this.
Blue Horse made a long speech, in which
he said that the Indians wanted to be free
to go and come like white men. He de-
clared that all the commissions of the past
26 years had effected nothing, and that their
speeches sent to the Great Father were
thrown into some river or into the stove.
Young Man-Afraid-of His Horses said
clear understanding must be had on both
sides. No conclusion has been reached, but
it is probable that the transfer will be ar
ranged.

A MOLE IN CAPTIVITY.

1t Lived for Three Days on Oatmeal in the
Thumb of Mitten.
Chambers Journal.1
An lady naturalist contradicts the gen.
eral opinion that moles are entirely carniv-
orous, are exceeding rapacious and will die
if left longer than eight or ten hours with
out food. She shut a mole up in a we'll
ventilated box, and offered it vegetable food,
which it at first refused; but after 16 hours
fasting, it was induced to eat bread and
milk. Coarse oatmeal soaked well in milk,
but uncooked, it ate ravenously.
When released the animal tore at the
carpet and upholstery of the room in the
hope of finding something into which it
could burrow, eventually taking possession
of woollen mitten which was thrown to it,
and into the thumb of which it thrust its
head. 1t lived in this way for three days,
coming out of the mitten occasionally to
feed on its oatmeal

CAUGHT HIM ASLEEP.
John Brockenbaugh Found Mapping
in a Depot Waiting Room.
SKIPPED OFF TO sTEUBENVILLE,
After Shooting Mrs. Harris and Her Son
Daniel, at 0akdale.
THE YOUNG MAN IS LYING VERY LOW

John Brockenbaugh, who has two victims
lying in the West Penn Hospital, was cap
tured in a rather remarkable manner at
Steubenville yesterday afternoon. Brock
enbaugh is a colored miner, living near Oak
dale, on the Panhandle Railroad. Near him
lives a family named Harris, also colored.
Brockenbaugh had suspicious of intimacy
between his wife and one of the Harris boys,
Dan. Wednesday night he concluded TO
settle the trouble by shooting the latter, so
he went to the Harris home and called Dan
out.
As the man appeared at the door
Brockenbaugh told him he intended
killing him, and pulled re-
volver. Harris mother, hearing the words,
ran out and threw herself in front of her
son, receiving the bullet intended for him.
The woman fell, and several more shots
were fired, lodging in Dan Harris body.
Traced at Once to Steubenville.
Brockenbaugh then made his escape, but
was followed by william Harris, brother OF
the injured man. William learned Brocken-
baugh had taken train for Steubenville,
and Immediately telegraphed the police
authorities there to arrest him.
Yesterday morning ne received a reply
that man answering the description given
had been arrested. William took the first
train for steubenville, and went directly to
headquarters. He was shown the captive
and found it was not Brockenbaugh. The
man was released and Harris started for the
depot to take a train for home. On arriving
at the railway station he happened to look
into the waiting room and was astonished
to see Brockenbaugh sitting there on
bench, asleep.
Gone After the Runaway.
The police were promptly notified, Brock
enbaugh was locked up and Harris came
back to Pittsburg and made Information
against the fugitive before Alderman Nc
Kenna for felonious shooting. A warrant
was issued, and last night Detective Demmel
went to Steubenville to bring the man
back.
Mrs Harris and young Dan Harris were
brought to the West Penn Hospital yester-
day The woman's injury is slight, the
bullet having taken effect in her right thigh.
The bullets that struck the young fellow
took effect one in his back above the kid
neys another in the hip, and the third in
the right thigh. The wound in the back is
the only serious one, and the hospital au-
thorities said late last night his condition
was critical.

The Redistricting Bill Seems to be Defeated
in the Senate.
LANSING, MICH, June 1S.-The Senate
had the Congressional apportionment bill
under discussion to-day, or rather a substi-
tute for that reported last week. When
the committee rose it was placed upon its
passage under call of the Senate, but it
failed by vote of 16 to IL.
The vote was reconsidered amid much
confusion and the bill tabled. A motion to
lay the motion to reconsider upon the table
came near prevailing. Pending a motion
to again go into committee on the whole
the Senate adjourned.
