Catching Boas.

"To catch boa constructor IS a dllh-
cult and dangerous task" says man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for menagerle
nu,noges. 1T is accomplished by laby-
rinthian tqngle, embracing sixty square
feet of ground. The labyrinth is made
bv Joining together, end on end pieces
If mating. This web is eight feet high
usually, and placed so that the opposing
walls will be two feet apart. All sorts
of crigscross and diverging combinations
are made with the matting-it Is sup
norted here and there by stakes-lnaklng,
when it is set, a geometrical puzzle that
might well challenge the ingenuity Oh
man,
0The tran is baited with a live pig,
which is placed in a pen in the corner OF
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constructor. It is easy enough
10 get in. He scents the prey; he Is
very hungry; the pig is devoured, anc
here tie boa comes to grief. For hours
he tries to release himself, but finally
he crows tired and stretches himself ou
for a nap. Then is our time. We opei
the labyrinth and catch him. "-Goldei

PREPARE Fo.l OCT. q.

The outline of what is proposed for
Columbus Day is enough to indicate two
things:
FiTst-That the official programme
will be so simple and can be so easily ar
ranged that no school need tDait till it is
published before beginning its own
preparations for the celebration.
Second-That the object Of the na-
tional public school celebration OF Co
lumbus Day needs the cordial co-opera-
ton Of the citizens generally in each To-
cslitv in order to be fully realized.
The executive committee has also sent
Ms a few suggestions Of a practical
nature which will be of advantage to
teachers and all other friends of the cele-
bration just at present. They are as
follows:
First-As strong local committee should
be appointed at once. 1t would be well
70 include in this committee not only
the leading school officials, but also
editors Of the local press, army veterans
and leading citizens who are known tc
favor the celebration by the schools
Only such as are likely to give earnest
support to the work should be appointed
eecond-The postoffice address OF thl
chairman Of this local committee shoult
be sent to the Office of the chairman o

nononis Of nicrcle Riding.

Among the main reasons which Dl-
cvcle riders give for their choice OF loco
motion are the following:
Bicycling is a popular, clean, health
full sport, and a wheel is good company
The wheel is time saving machine,
and in this busy age time is money.
Exercise on the wheel is better than
walking. because the weight of the body
is principally supported by the saddle
strength is economical and the exertion
Of force distributed more generally
throughout the muscles Of the legs,
arms and body, and equal results IN
progress reached by far less exertion, or
proDortionately greater results by the
same exertion. In other words, the
wbeelman rides ten miles in an hour
with less fatigue than he would walk
four in the same time, because IN walk
ing almost all the muscular exertion Is
thrown on the legs.
Few people breathe properly. They
use only the upper portion of the lungs
and leave a large residuum of impure air
Bicvcle riding causes thorough resDira
t;on and tones up the general circula
tion. It is particularly beneficial t'
men and women of sedentary habits
ard gives them such exhilarating pleas
ure that they do not feel the labor IN
volved.-New York Ledger.

The worst inundations of Louisiana

,v,,.,. vessels Capsize Frequently.

The capsizing of a vessel tied up to
nier is common enough in the Bay OF
Fundv and its tributary streams. The
nsual rise and fall of the tide along that
bav is from forty to fifty feet, and high
tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. With
the fall of the tide all craft are lett
j,ioh. but by no means dry, with an area
of chocolate colored mud all about them
This mud is too shifting to hold a yes,
sol in safety, so each pier is provided
With one or more strong wood frames
called shoes, fixed at the bottom OF the
stream or bay.
Upon these shoes all vessels rest at
low tide. 1t frequently happens, how
ever. that a vessel does not get her shoe
snuglv on. so to speak, and if strong
wind comes when she is thus i'll bal
anced, over she goes into the mud, to be
buried forty feet under the next rising

The tutelar deity of cats was Dlana'
and according to Plutarch the cat was
not only sacred to the moon, but was an
emblem of it. Hence cats were treated
with peculiar consideration in the land

ree,rued as a great family misfortune;
EGYPTIAN cat funerals were celebrated
With VIII the greatest pomp and ceremony,
their late owners showing respect by
shaving off their eyebrows and wearing

In a small town not many miles from
Erie. Pa. there was a case before the
Justice Of the peace that was settled very
summarily.
II appears that a Mr.. Jones had beaten
Mr. Browns dog with a club for chasing
b;s chickens. They met at the Office Of
fine Justice, each accompanied by law
ver and bound to see the thing through,
no matter what it cost. As Jones and
Brown were prominent citizens of the
town a large crowd assembled at the
trial, expecting to hear some great
oratory from the lawyers.
