JUSTICE TO SNAKES.
Eye of Things That Are
Denied by the Flippant and Ig-
nOnanf

Denied by the Flippant and Ig-
nOrant
Two popular beliefs concerning the
behavior of certain snakes under GER
tain circumstances have been very pos
itively met by some persons with very
fiat and absolute denial that any snake
ever did anything of the kind. says he
Hartford Times.
One thing largely believed and fire.
quently reported on the testimony of
somebody else is the alleged fact that
some snakes at times exercise the power
of ''charming" or drawing toward them
by the fixed power of the serpent's eye
small birds OF squirrels. the purpose be-
ing to make meal of the victim. This
denialS being accompanied by the
Sneer: You didn't see this yourself"
1t would seem that those who firmly
believe the report generally speaking,
on the strength of the testimony
of some absent friend in whose word
they have implicit trust-largely out
number those who deny; but among the
latter are few who profess to speak as
scientists.
The other popular snake story is that
in moments of danger the mother snake
of some species will open her mouth
and her brood of babies will run head
first down her throat. This, too, has
been dismissed as an idle tale.
Now, it so happens that there are a
present living in Hartford two eminent,
ly trustworthy men who can by per-
Sonal experience confirm the actual
truth of both these stories, one having
witnessed the performance first named
and the other seeing the second.
Samuel Taylor, Of Charter Oak place,
when boy of sixteen, lived in Glaston-
bury. There, when out in the fields one
day. his attention was attracted by the
strange actions of a small bfrd-prob-
ably some ground sparrow. or perhaps
"chippy." The bird paid no attention
to him as he came near it, but
fiuttered in wild and peculiar way on
the paths, sometimes futtering up to a
low twig, a foot or so above the path,
and again fluttering down, seemingly in
great distress, and then tapping up and
down, but all the while slowly getting
along in one direction.
AS the bird paid no attention to the
boy, and did nothing to get away from
him, the lad began to investigate things
in the direction the bird seemed to he
aiming at, and he soon discovered a
blacksnake. The reptile was coiled.
and its head was somewhat lifted
above the coil. His gaze was fastened
upon the huttering bird, and his eyes
were bright and glittering. The spec
tator of this remarkable scene waited
until the reluctant and distressed bird
had advanced so near that he was not
over yard from the serpent. Then he
interfered. Picking up a stone he
hurled it at the snake and killed him.
The bird then seemed daZed, confused
and helpless. Gradually it recovered,
and few away.

The Gillian Suicides Letter to
Espionos.
New YORK, Jan. .23.-The last mail
from Valparaiso brought the farewell
letter of Balmaceda to his minister,
Espionos, who published it in Lima
paper. After referring to his downfall.
Balmaceda requests Espionos to write a
true history 'of the administration in
which we jointly labored." He asks
Emilia to supply his friends with the
necessary funds to defray the cost of a
full and complete publication. He also
asks her to allow them to
select 1000 volumes out of his
library. In conclusion he says
''With my sacrifice the friends will find
in short time the means of repairing
the losses they have sustained. In all
great crises or dramas leader or great
victim is required. This is the law of
stormy times. The administrative or
ganization was irreproachable in the
war. We lacked generals"

Decidedly Fishy.

A Portland paper tells this part of the
story: I'm 1888 Crater lake was visited
by W. 6. Steel, 5. S, Nicolini and 2. D
DeWert. Up to that time no living
thing had been found in the cold and
unruff1-d waters of the lake, and il wos a
disputed question whether fish could live
at tnat high altitude-7000 feet. About
A miles this side of the lake, the gentle
men secured 460 young trout and placed
them in bucket OF water. Carrying the
bucket between them the adyenturers
began the ascent. changing the water
whenever an opportunity presented itself.
Although every precaution was taken,
when the lake was finally reached, on y
81 OF the fish were alive. and they could
have lived but few MINUTES longer at
the most. Nothing has been heard from
the fish until few days ago, when Col.
Bowdtch, of Ashland. returned from y
trip to the wonderful lake. He reports
that the fish have grown and multiplied
until the lake IS alive with fine big trout
And the Ashland Tidsnqs this; Col.
Jim's head must have been turned by the
recent election--er the resulting cele5ra-
tons. He hastn't been at Crater lake
since Steel put those little trout into the
cold water-if Steel ever did lad be-
sides, he's no judge of what's in water,
ANYHOW.

The Blockade.
Spokane Review.

The feature of the railroad situation
has been a blockade of cars on the
through lines. This blockade has CEN
tered at Chicago, and at other terminal
points in the west it has also been
blocked. 1t is said that at the close Of
October there were 10000 loaded cars
waiting to be unloaded or transferred on
Chicago tracks. Western railways have
ordered their agents to accept no more
east-bound business until some light is
seen through this blockade, It is ex=
pected that it will take several weeks to
clear the accumulated traffic. The re-
eeipts of wheat in Chicago have been
tremendous, flooding elevators and test
ing the full strength of the abilities of the
receivers. Under the influence of these
enormous receipts wheat has been stead
lily dropping. and the people who have
had their backs under the load are be-
coming extremely discouraged. Exports
of wheat were badly interfered with at
the time the cholera epidemic was block
aiding European ports, but lately it has
been resumed on fair scale.

A Step in the Right nirectIon.

The movement made in the state of
Massachusetts,. to instruct the board of
Worlds fair managers of Massachusetts,
to urge upon the director general of the
exposition the great Importance of a
comprehensive exhibit of the construc.
ton and maintenance of roads, in which
roadnaking and roadmaking machinery
can be shown as an object lesson by
skilled workmen, is move in the right
direction. GOOD roads are the most urg-
emit need Of many American rural dis
tricts whose wealth and general enter
prise fully entitle them to the best of
highways. Instead of this the badness
of American country roads is proverbial.
Tn. pecuniary loss inflicted upon the
United States by bad roads in one year
is very great, People in cities may think
that this does not concern them, but
they are mistaken. The marked check
upon trade each spring, owing to we'll
nigh impossible country roads in some
sections of the country, is significant evi-
dence of the extent of the actual loss in
ficted by the maintenance of highways
which would not be tolerated in any
civilized country in Europe. A road
making exhibit at the fair, if properly
managed, might serve valuable educa-
tional purpose.

The Columbia DAILY Calendar,

This is one Of the msst valuable daily
pad calendars. The calendar for go is
of the same general design as that of
previous years, consisting of 366 leaves,
one for every day in the year, and call
endar for the entire year. The day of the
week, of the month, and of the year are
given, and on each leaf is short sermon
on the Gospel Of Outdoors, Health and
Happiness, with valuable hints ON prac-
teal road making. The leaves are so
arranged that there wilf be no stub left,
and each one can be referred to at any
time during the year. The pad is upon
metallic stand of ivory black, arranged
SO as to rest upon the desk at a convent
ent angle. The pad matter, which in the
aggregate is enough to make book, is
all fresh and new, and is of more pertin-
ent value than that of any previous call
endar. The calendar is issued by the
Pope Mfg. Co, of Boston, New York and
Chicago.

Hunting stories are as much renowned fol
their elasticity as fish "yarns," and we were
forcibly reminded of the fact this morning
while listening to Mr.. j. E. Hardy, relating
his experience in shooting geese. To give
the matter in full would take several col.
umns of the TIM, but the principal point
may be stated in few sentences. Geese
fly at tine rate of 1900 miles In II hours;
that is, when at leisure; but, in an emer.
gency. they may double this speed. He
has seen flock of geese make seven miles in
a minute, by the watch, and they flew
along the same as on holiday jaunt. To
be successful IN killing geese, one must set
his decoys and camp in the ditch, and shoot
quickly. There is no use in attempting to
hunt geese on the river; they must be de-
coyed away from the water, and as the
flock comes within proper distance FIRE both
barrels. Mr.. Hardy is an artist with the
brush, and he is no amateur, by any means,
in telling how to kill game. Ii one had
great deal of leisure time after becoming
somewhat tired of Mr.. S. Thurman's rem
inlscences with Hank Monk IN Nevada, he
should "wind up" Mr.. Hardy on his expe
riences in hunting. and there would be royal
