In crossing snail crcck they came 10
n beautiful canyon OF basin oil about
three acres II level mendOws, fur'
rounded by perpendicular walls some
200 feet high. A fine etioam OF cold,
clear water was flowing into the little
meadow, nut there seemed to be- no
outlet There was no way of getting
down into the valley, but quail and
rabbit seemed - inhRbit the little
basin.
a pair OF opera glasses brought to
light "a number OF snakes bnsking IN the
sun ON u fla, rock. They were one to
three foet In length, aud had heads
ehapcd exactly like blncksmiths
hammer. While the party were ex.
aiming with the glasses the manou.
vers OF n number OF the snakes crawl
ing through the 2rsss, u very large one
was noticed making sneak on cot
ton-tail rabbit. When within about
two feet OF the rabbit the snake ttifiened
the front half Of its body, and boat II
into a light angle. TheA his snakeship
Strengthened out suddenly. bringing
tue rabbit u swinging bow on tho side
Of its head which laid bunny out CON.
plsloly.
Another snake was observed to creep
ON to u quail sitting on n scrubby tree.
This ensko twisted about four inches
Of is tail along limb Of the tres
anu used oil the rest OF Its body for y
hammer and handle 10 whnck tho
quail on the head such stinging blow
that IL died without huttcr OF Its
wings. The snake seemed 70 have the
wonderful power OF leDgthening its
body out nearly double its normal
length and az small rs whaiebone
whip, the heavier part being next TO
the part wrapped around the tree.
Aftar killing the quail and rabbit the
snake hammered the body into pulp,
bones md all, with Its head, nnd then
swallowed the whole business. The
swallowing showed that the hammer
part OF the head could be laid back out
OF the way while the swallowing was
done.
Every effort possible with the sppli-
aDces thcy had with them was made
TO get one OF tho snakes, but they
failed.

PEOPLE OF EASTERN PERU.
The Montana OF South America and Its
Inhabitants.

The Montana OF South America and Its
Inhabitants.
Eastern Peru, though changing its
political title at various periods, has
been called the Montana or wooded
country since the first colony was
planted there, two hundred and fifty
six years ago, says writer in Harper's
Weekly. The experiences of the early
settlers were an endless succession Of
romantic adventures. Towns were
built and destroyed many times, and
there is scarcely single site which has
not been bathed with the blood of white
and Indian through centuries of con-
flict. Spanish and Peruvian possession
of this territory has consequently been
more nominal than real until within
the last twenty years, during which
time several of the old mission stations
have fourished forth into cities of from
two thousand to six thousand inhab-
itants under the commercial stimulus
given by the opening of the Amazon to
the flags Of all nations in 1866.
Accordingly the majority Of the pure
whites now living in the Montana are
either Peruvians originally from the
west coast or Germans, French and
English, with two or three Americans,
who have been allured to this remote
corner of the globe by the prospect Of
speedily amassing fortunes in the rub
ber trade. These new corners are often
noble examples of manhood, full of that
courage and determination which are
needful in establishing government and
commercial prosperity in the midst of a
somnolent and sometimes treacherous
native population. Women of appar-
emily equal rank are, however, conspic-
uously absent

LOCuSTS IN MOROCCO.
So Numerous at Times as to Form
Dense Brown Fog.

So Numerous ut Times as to Form q
Dense Brown Fog.
The British consul at Mogador men
tions, in his last report, that while on
an excursion inland, about days jour
ney from Mogador, he met flights of
locusts. He says it was an astonishing
and interesting though painful sight,
the air being in some parts SO thick
with them that they formed dense
living brown fog, through which he
could hardly find his way, while they so
completely covered the ground that the
utmost caution was necessary In walk
ing, as he could not tell whether he was
treading on soft sand, hard, slippery
rock or what. Many birds feasted on
the insects, including large flights OF
gulls from the sea, and beasts evidently
enjoyed their share, for in the middle OF
the densest swarm, he saw, says the
Scientific American, u fine red fox
dancing about in the most frantic man
ner, leaping up and swapping dozens OF
the locusts in the air, until, seeing the
stranger, he suddenly dropped on all
fours, and quickly vanished In the live
fog. Not only did the barbel get their
share of the novel food (the consul used
the locusts successfully as bait for
them), but some of the fish Of the At
lantic were found gorged with locusts
which had been blown of the Land
by easterly winds. AS usual, they
were eaten by the native population,
both Mahometan and Jewish.

A Young Man Pays Dearly for HIS Ignor-
snce OF the Latin Tongue.
A little knowledge is more often n
useful than a dangerous thing, and .
young man who knows small Latin and
less Greek" discovered the fact not long
ago. The Saturday Gazette tells the
story:
A young Boston man had a slight
cold and sore throat, and meeting his
cousin, who is q physician and some
thing of wag, he asked him what TO
do for it.
ooh. I'll write prescription for you, "
was the answer. He wrote it, and the
gentleman glanced at it before taking
It to the druggist 1t read: Aqua
pura ounce; chloride sodium ounce.
Shake well before using, and gargle
with it every half hour"
How much is it?" queried the pa
tient, as the druggist handed him the
bottle.
1.-TWO dollars" was the reply.
Some weeks later the young mans
throat was sore again, and remember
ing the efficacy of his cousins prescrip-
ton, he took the bottle to be filed
again.
Another clerk waited on him, and
when he inquired the price he was as
tonished at the cheerful answer: "Oh,
we don't charge anything for salt and
water"
He had paid two dollars for an under
standing of two simple words.
