eight nbsentees who had not provided TO
make their votes count in the total result.
ith the wave of applause and jnbiiasion
which swept over the hall as the crushing
defeat OF FREQ silver coinage was announced
the whole house seemed to take deep
breath and lose interest In what was to fol-
low fos the next few votfs. These were on
tho various ratios, but aveYy one knew the
ratio question WAS dead. The fl at OF tho
ratio votes was taken amid such buzzing
~ fairly dtownsd the voice of tho clerk at

speaker repeatedly to preserve enough

Only old staRers on the silver side stood
out for the seventeen TO one ratio. For the
most part that faction was not going ia
fool with any RATIO IL they could not ge,
the ono wanted. Man after man who hac
voted aye on tho first roll call, voted nay or
the second and many others left the cham
bar indifferent to tho result.
When il came to the eighteen TO one
amendment. the chorus of dissatisfaotion
which arose when Hatch. of Missouri, in
sisted on demand for the yeas and maya
showed the house in no temper for delay.
Bland did not join in the demand. The
vote on the second ratio amendment made
a slightly better sho wing for the silver
men. not because Of any considerable in
crease in their vote. but by the falling off
in the number Of their adverse los. BY the
time tho third vote was called Bland had
recovered wind enough to mako the demand
for the yeas and Maya himself. although he
did not stay in his scat long enough to see
how things were going. The anti silver
men. who united their efforts to prevent
further roll CALL concluded to lot things go
and Put everybody on record On every
phase Of the question.

Snake Charming.

A snake charmer can, by simple mo-
ton of his hand, make moving snake
stop instantly. The reason is this:
The snake is a most timid animal. His
eyes, while dull to color and form. are
quick to motion, especially if it is rapid.
IL any large thing moves very quickly
too near him, he gets frightened and
scurrie off, while at certain distances
the motion stops him if he be moving.
He stops from astonishment, fear or
the wish to see what it is that moves.
Hence he glides on unconscious of the
charmer's presence near him SO long as
the latter remains quiet; the snake does
not know him from a tree or rock.
But when he gives sudden evidence Of
life the snake is astonished and immedi-
ately remains stock still.
In India and Africa the charmers pre-
tend the snakes dance to the music, but
they do not, for they never hear y "A
snake has no external ears, and perhaps
gives evidence Of sound only through its
skin, when sound causes bodies in con-
tact with him to vibrate.
They hear also through the nerves of
the tongue, but do not at all comprehend
sound as we do. However, the snakes
eyes are very much alive to the motions
of the charmer, or to the moving drum
sticks of his confederate, and being
alarmed he attempts to strike.
A dancing cobra (and no other snakes
dance) is limply cobra alarmed and in
posture 20 attack. He is not dancing
to the muse, but is making ready to az
sail the charmer.- Family
