VERY ERRONEOUS IDEAS prevail among the
average of men as to the cost OF the private
steam yachts of the wealthy men OF New York
says writer in the New York Press On the
upper deck of rerryboat on the Bay Ridge
route to Long Island yesterday. overheard
man say to his wife, as they were looking at a
number OF yachts anchored off the yachting
headquarters near the Bay Ridge landing, that
he presumed boat like the Electra, which be
longs to Commodore Gerry, or the Coronet or
the Dauntless, which were anchored noar by
would cost about g., 900 or 81 900 apiece. Steam
yachts of this type really cost from S25 600 to
SIS, 600, according to size, finish and equipment.
1t costs something to maintain yacht and run
it through the summer season. In fact, a man
might better own q cottage at a fashionable re-

SNAKE not often heard OF, at least In Ameri.
ca, says the Hartford Post, is the liver-colored
snake with two heads, or perhaps they should
be called mouths. though it does not have two
mouths at the same time. They are reversible
mouths, occupying the opposite end every six
months. It lies with the two ends crossed on
each other, as with folded hands. Every six
months the change of the seasons reverseS the
functions of the two ends, the head becoming
the tail and the tail becoming the head The
mouth at one end heals, or closes up all but a
small opening, while the opposite end becomes
the mouth for the next six months friend
of mine in India who told me about this re-
markabe snake, said he refused for q long
time to believe that the functions of the two
ends were reversed every six months but one
day he found one of these snakes in the Jungle
and carried it home. where he had a physician
examine it. The result was the physician con.
skeptical no longer. learned no other
name for this singular reptile than that Of 'the
liver-colored snake"
EVERYBODY may be called upon to afford as
sistance to drowned persons while the doctor IL
being sent for says the London Daily Netos,
land Prof. Laborde's simple method for re-
storing breath when all other means have
failed, deserves to be universally known. The
other day at q watering place in Normandy two
bathers, young man and boy, who were
unable 20 swim, went out of their depth and
disappeared. They were brought on shore in
animate, and were taken to the village. Two
doctors we're sent for, but the young man
gave no sign Of life, and they declared he
was dead NJ. LaboEde, who was fishing at
half an hours distance, came up soon as he
heard Of the accident. He examined the BODY
and found that the extremities were cold and
the heart had stopped. Then. taking hold of
the root of the tongue he drew it violently for
ward, giving it a succession Of jerks in order to
excite the reflex action Of the breathing appa-
ratus, which is always extremely sensitive At
the end OF few minutes a slight hiccuugh
showed that the patient was saved. In addi-
tion TO the usual restorative means Prof La
