school for women is the most sensible set

Chancellor Rand, Of Mcliaster univer-
Eity, received by express a box which,
when opened, was found to contain
snake some nine feet long, Of slender
build and Of dull mud color. An ac-
6ompanying letter ezpl-.aed the arrival.
Last May, while ON the way from the
Philippine islands, the Theodore Il.
Rand, ship named after the chancellor.
was caught in a heavy gale of the Afri-
can coast. Everything was battened
down, and yet, after some hours, during
which the seas ran bodily over the YES
eel, the helmsmaB felt something like
rope around his leg, and looking down
was horrifed to find tins snake.
The ship at the time was more than a
hundred miles Of the shore, was closely
battened and had not been in port for
some weeks. Many theories have been
raised 10 account for the reptiles pres
tnce, some thinking 1t had been washed
aboard during the storm; others that il
had lain dormant since the ship left port
and others suggesting that a genuine
sea serpent had at last been found. The
captain forwarded the snake TO the chan
eellor as a curiosity.-Toronto Empire.

Captain John Miller tells a good story
about himself IN connection with his trip
TO the Chicago convention. While en-
route he thought he would feel the pub
lie pulse along the road, so at the vari-
GUS stopping places he got out on the
rear platform and made short speeches
in favor Of Senator Hill. The name Of
Hill did not arouse the slightest enthu-
siasm, greatly TO the surprise of Captain
Miller, who before leaving Washington
had an idea that the Democrats Of the
country were hungry for Hills nonina-
ton. Not q hand was clapped II re-
sponse to Captain Miller's eloqunce IN
III the train reached a little town out In
Ohio. There one man in the crowd ap-
plauded the name Of Hill quite vigor-
ously. Captain Miller paused in his
speech. jumped OF the train and rushed
up 10 the man, saying:
My dear friend, I am glad TO know
that there Is one man ont in this God
forsaken country who appreciates the
name of Hill"

People who persist in taking their oa-

an exposure soon forms ice around the

Electric Roads and snowfaIIs.

When many of our electric railway
managers were boys it was Just about
this time Of year that they got down
from the attic or up from the cellar OF
out from the wOodshed their old double
runners and polished and ciled them
ND in anticipation Of many coasts down
the icy hillside roads. They are doing
pretty much the same thing now, except
that the double runners" have developed
into electric railway snow plows. whose
function Is 10 spoil coasting rather than
TO facilitate it. These machines are Of
very recent origin, and are still in many
WAYS experimental devices.
Plows and sweepers have both been
used 10 displace the snow from electric
railroad tracks. Il has been thought by
some companies that the sweeper does
its work too thoroughly, as it cleans on
all the snow, leaving only the bare
ground for the use OF other vehicles on
runners. This causes delays 10 the cleo
tric cars and interferes with their prompt
operation. Crosby and Bell state IN their
book on tie electric railway that 1T Is

or has become a sort Of frozen slush, II is
then possible to obtain fair contact be

The proper function Of the snow plow
is its constant use IN keeping the Snow
On the tracks from packing and freezing.
Its principal use is in the city streets.
Where the road runs ont into the cOun-
try, or where the SHOWS are light, the
