Snakes as Articles of Diet.

Paris Letter to London telegraph
Italians as is well known, are partial to harm
less snakes and have no objection to eat them
cooked. A frttura, composed Of the common
wood serpent's flesh. is even regarded ss a
dainty by the lower orders in Rome. Florence
and Naples, and is often served up to them in
their dingy restaurants. Parisians OF the IN
ferior classes are also great eaters of fried
snakes. but unwi.tingly SO. for the REPTILES are
palmed off on them as eels. Thus the appar-
emily appetizing dishes known as matelotte
d aEguille and anguille la tartare are often In
low eating houses nothing but harmless snakes
caught in the wilder part OF the Nincennes
wood and brought up to special market neal
the Place de la Repuhlique. 1t is probable
however that oven If the members of the
poorer classes here who occasionally indulge in
fried or stewed eels were appraised OF the fraud
prac iced at their expense they would evinct
no loa thing nor even lack of appetite, seeing
that they are ready to devour not Only horse
aesh. but meat OF mule, donkey and dog any

Such slaughter. he contended, must eventu.
ally result in extinRushing a valuable industry
established for nearly century by Russia and
maintained by America since the cession OF
Alaska to the United States by the Russian
government.
1.-The British claimed the right to extermi-
nate the species for the sake of q small tenn
porary profit. They did not meet the question
as to whether the right exists, but
exhausted the resources Of the ablest
advocacy to evade it. The British
counsel approached the question in every
direction except straight forward one. They
pretended to inquire whether the United States
were justified in seizing British vessels engaged
in pelagic seal hunting.
Mr. Phelps declared that there was no such
question before the tribunal. The arbitrators
were not concerned in the question OF past
seizures, except az to the finding Of tho neces-
sarv facts on which to base future negotiations.
Counsel having agreed upon the facts the
| tribunal ought to dismiss the matter OF the
| seizures.

Dapdses in the German Army.

From the London Globe.
Referring to the recent order OF the German
emperor with regard to the dandifed irregu-
larities which had become common in the Ger
man army. a correspondent at Berlin calls our
attention to the fact that the kaiser himself is
no: altogether free from affectation Of this
kind. inasmuch AS he himself sets the fashion
of bangle wearing. In most of the many
portraits of the kaiser the bangle is brought into
special prominence by the position of the arm.
But though addicted to the bangle. he never
condescended to the earring, which formerly
was very commonly worn among his officers.
In the time of Frederick William III, when
the German army was resting on the laureis OF
the great Frederick, dandies fourished in great
numbers among the officers. in spite of severe
official COMBINATIONS OF foppery. The mon
stronsites and eStravagancies differed but
slightly from those Of day-sharp-poin.ed
toes, ridicuIously high colors and short over
coats with seams. Latter-day exquisites have
also adopted the plan of crowding on the finger
as maay rings "a possible-he who can carry the
largest number on the ring fingers and at the
same time bend his finger being considered to

ARIGHTEOUS VERDICT
Ex-Governor Robinson on the Borden
Trial.
IT WAS 4 CLEAR Case TO THE JURY.

HIS OWN CONVICTIONS

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, June 22.-Ex-Gov.
Robinson returned to his home in Chicopo last
evening somewhat fatigued after his arduous
duties as counsel in the Borden trial.
In conversation upon that subject he said
"The verdict in the Borden case is righteous

ANYTHING different, but the evidence proved her
innocent and the judge so believed. :,
were ready to render a verdict before they left
their seats But they thought 1t would not be
entirely within the bounds OF propriety unless
they retired, and they did SO.
During the trial Miss Borden received
about fifty letters day and great profusion
of flowers Her room was literally banked with
such tributes from friends all over the country
The missives contained largely words OF SYM

the trial.
Miss Lizzie has said to me that the Border
murders were as much of mystery to her q
to any one else.
II can only account for the widespread diff
ference Of opinion among the people Of tn
country as to her innocence or guilt in thi
way:
Before the trial there were all sorts of con
illusions formed, based ON anything but tn
evidence in the case.
During the trial it is fact that receive
