KIN Poison Snakes in tho Ess.

Some light is thrown by Surgeon
General Francis upon the question why
it is that poisonous snakes still an
nually destroy SO many thousands Of
persons in India, in spite of all the ef-
forts of the government to exterminate
them. Under the present system a re-
ward is given for every dead serpent
brought before the magistrate or civil
authority of the district. A cobra lays
from eighteen to twenty eggs at a time,
SO that for every one captured large
number remain at liberty.
Mr.. Francis proposes that the eggs
of snakes, which are to be found in the
neighborhood of old walls and where
the sun can reach them, should be Sc
cured. Unfortunately, there is an OBJ
stacle in the attitude of the people
themselves. Supposed to be associated
with the Deity, snakes are, in some
parts, well cared for, and even wor-
shipped. The low caste natives, there
fore, who will alone undertake the
work of determination, receive but
scant assistance from tho community
at large.

Value OF the Yearly Output of European
Factories.
The Oldest and it is said the largest
match manufactory in the world is in
Sweden. Matches were made there
long before the old, roughly trimmed
splinter of wood tipped with sulphur
was discarded with the tinder boxes,
for which they were used In twenty
five years the export trade of Sweden
in modern matches increased 1,O00,-
0o0,0 boxes year.
Some of the machines for making
matches which we use in these days
make 200 revolutions minute each
and turn out about 2,500,000 matches
daily. Rather more than five matches
per head for the whole population are
used daily in the United States
Strange to say, the quality of these
Swedish matches, in many cases, is so
bad that the state intends to resume
the manufacture, and computes that
the profits will produce a revenue of
81, 600, 900.
Altogether there are in Europe about
$4,000 factories, and they yearly pro-
duce matches valued ut $50, O0oO, ,O0O

THE FIRST ovERsHoEs.

They Came From Brazil and and Were
Painted and Gilded.
Odd as it rnay seem the first pair Of
artics brought into the United States
were imported from Rio de Janeiro in
1880. They were rough pair of
India-rubber ''gunboats," painted and
gilded like Chinese pagoda, and were
sent as curiosities to New York
gentleman by representative of a
wholesale house doing business in
what was then the great American
Empire. Friends of the gentleman
when inspecting his odd rubber shoes
expressed desire to own a pair Of
such oddities; and in 1892 twenty
seven pairs were imported by New
York and Boston people. The price
was something terrible to contem-
plate, but they were soon sold out and
orders placed for more. From this
small beginning the rubber boot and
shoe trade began. In 1888 500 pairs
were imported and from that time for
ward until Goodyear's famous ''vul-
.canizing" discovery and the complete
revolution of the rubber trade from
5000 to 10000 pairs Of rubber shoes
were annually imported from South
America.

Bindinr Religious Persons.

The practice of binding religious
persons still exists in India, as is evi-
denced by the following from the
Alllahabad, India, Pioneer. The incl
dent occurred recently at Meerut: "a
fakir, wearing nearly five maunds 600
pounds) of iron chains and bands on
him, recently left the cantonmcnt sta
tion. The railway authorities de-
clined to allow him to travel as pas
sengcr, but sent him as goods by
weight, in spite of his argument that
native women were never charged for
their anlSlcts and bangles. The iron
absorbed the heat so much that the
man had to be necessarily sprinkled
with water lie is an old man and
nearly died at the station"

An Appropriate Prayer.

A reverend gentleman tells this
story of little boy: The boy was
tired from hard days play, and
when he retired he was too sleepy to
say his goodnight prayer. His mother
tried in vain to have him say it, and
finally sent the father in. He found
the boy just sinking into tired sleep,
and demanded that he should get up
and say his prayer. The little fellow
arose wcarily, sank down upon his
knees by the bedside and began: 30,
dear Lord please make papa say his
prayers when he's as tired as am.
Amen"

PEAcHeLow PORCELAIN.
The secret Glaze That Permeates the
Ware.

Ware.
The peachblow porcelain is of
Chinese manufacture, and is about
800 years old. 1t is not, as is some
times supposed, the designation Of a
particular shade of color, but rare
and peculiar glaze, which not merely
covers the surface of the vessel, but
penetrates the entire texture of the
article, so that II the same be broken
the internal structure is identical with
that of the surface. The method by
which this result is reached is un-
known, and much money has been ex-
pended in vain to discover it. The
ware is, in a sense, therefore, the re-
suit of happy accident.
Specimens of it are rare in China
to-day, where it is priced rs highly as
anywhere else. Most of that of which
there is definite knowledge was taken
from China by the Dutch in the days
when they monopolized the trade
with that country, and from Holland
has made its way over Europe. The
specimens in this country have al
most all of them come either from
Holland direct, or by way of France,
whittier pieces of it were early carried
by the Dutch, arousing unusual inter
EST among the French potters.

PRESERVED FISH.
Ten Thousand Years Old and Imbedded
In Rock Salt.


In Rock Salt.
In making railroad tunnels, cuts.
etc, and in sinking wells and pits in
Nevada. Utah and Arizona. salt strata
are often struck Mt varying depths,
sometimes as much as a hundred yards
beneath the surface. Hundreds of fish,
perfectly preserved, are found in blocks
of this pure rock salt. These salt
fields are supposed to occupy what was
once lake thirty miles long, fifteen
miles wide and many hundred feet
deep. The fish found resemble the
pike and piclserel species, and are
wholly unlike the fish found in tho
lakes and rivers of that region at the
present time. The specimens found
are not petrified but are as perfectly
preserved in the flesh as though but
recently frozen in block of ice. When
taken out and exposed to the heat of
the sun they become as hard as blocks
of wood. Occasionally worlsmen at the
salt works located in 'the basin" have
attempted to eat these antediluvian
relics. Men of learning who have in
vestigated the matter say that these
salt preserved fish are ut least 10, 600
years old.

moments for the admiral, who failed
to appear, the chaplain opened the

the voice rang out in the opening
words the admiral walked on the deck.

IT Is interesting to note the efforts
Of the Democratic press of the west to
show that the silver bill was not par
ty measure; that although. the Demo-
Gratis had large majority In the house.
this not being party measure, it's de-
feat could not be laid at the door of the
Democratic party. We wonder if this
bill had passed the house who would
taken the credit. The next thing in
order will be for the Democrats to claim
that the silver bill was not particularly
good measure anyway and try to con-
vince the people that the only great
and living issue is the tariff question.
What blessed thing for politicians the
tariff is! What an appalling amount
of statistics can be brought out on both
sides of the qustion! These words of

The following clipping form the
Pine Bluff Commercial will assist
our JUNIOR in explaining that he
ne may possess ability to write, yet
he is worse to call on the Literary
society to excuse him when placed
on the program for speech than
the smallest school boy:
"Having taken up>the cudgel in
defense of authors as conversation
lists, Mr.. James Payn says that in
his experience the conversation of
literary men is "more genial and at
the same time more genuine, more
vivacious and audacious than that Of
any other class" But his expert
ence has probably been exceptional
The general testimony is the other
way. It has been said of Goldsmith,
for example, that "he wrote like an
angel and talked like an ass"
Dr.. Johnson said, "No man was
more foolish when he had not a pen
in his hand or more wise when he
had" And Garrick, perhaps, bor-
rowed this saying when, in his cpl
gram on Goldsmith, speaking of
The ideas Of which his head was
tuIl, he said:
when his mouth opened all were in a
bother,
Rushed to the door and tumbled o'er
each other,
But rallying soon with all their force
again.
In bright array they issue from his pen. :"
Some people think that because a
nan writes well he ought to speak
well. But the fact is that writing
aud talking are two entirely differ
ut arts and qualities that mean
success Ia the one mean failure in
he other. To say that a man
talks like a book" is regarded as
,lmost equivalent to saying that he
$ pedant and bore.
