A CHARMING.
A Talk About the Art and It's Dangers by
Professional.


professional.
"Snake charming has become a com
mon thing nowadays" said a profess
sioDal snake handler TO a Philadelphia
Times man after reading the account
Of dot" SonwelIs mishap, land the
danger about the work is just sufficient
to attract some people. Yes, there is
always danger unless the poisonous
fangs arc extracted. II is almost i'm
possible TO charm, or rather drug some
species of snakes so that they can al
ways be depended upon. They are a
treachcrous set, and more SO when they
have the poisonous fangs in their
mouth. They know right away when
these fangs have been extracted. They
seem to lose their pride and ferocity,
and they will try to sneak away rather
than to offer defiance. I havo known
the flercest diamond-back ever brought
from Florida to cool down as tame asa
lamb when the poison fang was taken
out. Most Of the snakes handled by
charmers on the stage are harmless so
far as poisoning anyone Is concerned.
It should be a crime, too, to let those
with the fangs in be exhibited.
"yyhat are the secrets of snake
charming9 Oh, we'll, they are simple
simpler than most people imagine.
In the first place the snake has to be
handled gorged with food so that 1t is
sleepy and quiet. Then it Is drugged
so that It's senses are dazed and quiet.
Sometimes they are put in boxes con-
tanning ice and the cold puts them into
o semi-torpid condition. In eithercas
the snake Is very gentle and only half
in possession OF its senses. Then the
snake charmcr uses certain motions in
handling the reptile, and by dint OF
| dexterity and strength the snake Is east
ly passed from hand to hand and allowed
to coil It's Shiny lengths over arms, legs
and body. The exhibitor, however,
must be constantly on the alert. When
| the snake becomes too lively 1t is time
to replace It in the box. The hand
must always grasp it at certain places
| where the head can be guided and held
| from the body. This Is the hardest
| thing the charmer has to learn, but 1t
comes with practice. If handling q
reptile with the poisonous fangs in one
must be strong and in perfect health.
Any or temerity might
cost him his life. The grasp and
movements must be precise and ac-
| curate. There Is no room for hesitancy
or uncertainty, and the strain on ones
system during the performance Is
great. The charmer is really toying
with death-and death in one Of its
most horrible forms"

THE STREET CAR CODE.
A Practical Solution for . Much veHed
Question In E~ttiquettc.

A Practical solution for . Much veHed
Question In Ettiquettc.
The question Of street car politeness
or gallantry may be regarded as settled
In Paris II the decision Of one Of the
leading papers, the Figaro, may be
taken as final. Inasmuch as we have
had q great deal of discussion upon
this same subject in this country, the
views OF the French Journal and some
Of Its fair correspondents may be inter-
esting to New Workers. A correspond
ent asked the Figaro IL a gentleman
seated in IN omnibus or q tramway,
with all the seats occupied, should give
up his place TO a lady the moment she
appeared Mt the door. The Partisan
journal says that in q public convey
ance each one should occupy the place
for which he has paid. This, It says,
Is the opinion Of the majority Of our
readers, and particularly the society
ladies who never wear diamonds in an
omnibus. They don't admit that ladies
should accept the politeness, or rather
the service, Of gentlemen whom they
do not know. One Of them gives this
opinion: "When a lady is contcnted
with the cheap means OF ~locomotion
provided by the omnibus companies she
accepts all the conditions. In all cities
where there are omnibuses, tramways
and other public vehicles q woman can
sec Immediately whether there Is
o inside or not. II, on seeing
that there Is no vacant place,
she nevertheless enters the car shc
takes q position which she ought TO
sustain. To permit q nan TO disturb
himself for her when she might wait
for another car II IL vas impossible for
her to remain standing, would be an
evidence on her part of a want of
good breeding. II Is very easy for
her to thank the gentleman mega
lively and politely In n few short
words, SO that the incident may
not be prolonged. Nothing can be
more annoying for seated travellers
than this mutual exchange Of so-called
oourtcsies, and congratulations which
goes on at their knees and threatens
their feet. perhaps more or less af.
hicted with corns. Remain seated,
gentlemen, remain seated; the ladies
cannot complain Of that, without Civ.
ing satisfaction TO those men who re-
proach them for their want of logic.
Since they insist upon equality before
the law, with all the rights and priv.
ileges OF men, they should put up with
oil that men have TO endure. A woman
In an omnibus should remain standing
when there Is no vacant seat, just as a
man does under the same circum.
stances" Another correspondent says;
"Remain seated, gentlemen; you can
do IL without a breach OF politeness.
When fine ladies with their diamonds
take the omnibus or the tramway, do
not disturb yourselves for them, for II
you do you will only be q dupe; but II
You see a poor woman carrying a child
or . bundle then give her your place
Immediately. That is not politcness;
II is simply duty, possibly charity"

Moon MYTHS.

People the world over have used the
dark lines and spots on the face Of the
moon as a basis of conjecturing all
sorts Of fanciful pictures. To some
they appear as an aged man, bearing q
bundle Of sticks or fagots on his back;
to Others they represent the face of o
beautiful woman. Tho one hundred
and n other moon myths cannot be
considered in this mote" which is
solely intended to explain Indian be-
lief. The red men, who inhabit the
whole western continent between the
Rocky mountains and the Cascade
range, believe that the spots on Luna's
face represent the form of a gigantic
toad

n Million OF the TOOthsOme SheiInon

There is q lobster farm-or pound, as
Il Is called-twelve acres in extent ut
Southport, Me. The Boston Globe de.
scribes this pound, the most successful
on the coast, whence one million lob
sters are shipped each year. The pound
Is formed by building a solid dam
across q tidewater cove. This dam
does not quite rise to high water mark,
but across the top is placed n fence Of
iron rods, permitting a daily change OF
water, and preventing the Holsters from
escaping. In the spring and fall bust
ness is most brisk. When the fisher
men bring the Holsters to the pound
the "fsh," as they are called, are
hoisted to the dam, measured, and
those which are more than ten and
one-half inches long, the legal limit,
are thrown in. II q lobster Is clever
his life in the pound may be long and
full Of JOY. If he is stupid he will be
fishcd out with a drag seine and packed
In q barrel, with a piece of ice for q
pillow, and sent to Boston. The seine
is made Of stout Irvine and is weighted
ut the bottom with a heavy chain.
Along the top Is a row Of corks, which
sustain the weight Of the seine while
the chain drags on the bottom of the
pound. A single cast of this seine will
bring up Holsters enough to fill eleven
barrels. The chain as 1t sweeps along
the bottom stirs up the Holsters, which
Immediately shoot backward into the
slack Irvine. In taking them out the
men wear heavy mittens, though even
then they are often nipped. In the
pound the Holsters are fed on salt her
| ring, men rowing about in skiffs and
pitching the herring overheard. This
is called feeding the chickens" and
it takes about six barrels to make u
light luncheon for the flock. There
are said to be n number Of old hard
shells in the Southport farm which for
years have evadcd the casts Of the
drag. Two of enormous size have be-
| come quite tame and crawl about in the
shallow water. The age of the lob
ster is a.debated question. The small
marketable specimens are generally
supposed to be from four to six years
old, but some Holsters are believed to
live to the green old age of twenty-five
years.

We're the pets Of fairies. The latter
