Suit of Rattlcsnake skins.

Peter Gruber, the rattlesnalSe king of Venango county, Pa, has had made the most unique costume any man ever wore. 1t consists of coat, vest, trou- sers, hat, shoes and shirt, and is made entirely of the skins of ratt,esnalSes. Seven hundred snakes, all caught and skinned by Grubcr during the last five years. provided the material for this novel costume To preserve the bril- liancy and flcXibility of the skins in the greatest possible degree the snakes were skinned alive, first being made un- conscious by chloroform. They were then tanned by method peculiar to Grubcr and are as soft and elastic as woolen goods. The different articles for this outfit were made by Oil City tailors, shocmal:crs and matters. and the costume is valued at s1, 900.

Women Librariaus in the south.

In nearly every southern state a woman is state librarian. The legisla- ture of Mississippi has elected woman to that position for the past twenty years, In Kentucky and Tennessee for almost as many years women have held the office at handsome salaries. The secretary of state of Tennessee, in whose office the librarian works, says in private letter: "Since we have had women in the office they have not only given satisfaction in the work but have rendered the office where the work is done far more comfortable and attractive" South Carolina pays it's librarian, woman, s2,10O a year. West Virginia has woman as assistant custodian of all public buildings, prop erty, etc and in that capacity she has charge of the state library.

Faces That Wore TheIr Bloom Untn Past
 A.Iddlo Life.
 The portraits of beauties of the time of Washington's inauguration show the highest feminine charms of wit, feeling, heart and mind in faces which wore their bloom gtaunchly up to fifty.
 Mr3. Jay, daughter of Rufus King, with her blacl, hair and brilliant blue eyes; Mr3 Dayart, whose pictured face 1t is irapCs ibic to sec and not love; the faithful, fr2a,i wife of Alexander Ham, ilton, who could have kept her gallant husband from his crring wayG had she been more of woman and less of q model.
 Many will recall says the New York Journal, Mmc. RudcrsdCrI, the singer, when over forty, beautiful as an image of rose and white Parian, and Rose Eytingc, whether among the tapestries of her onuGly picturesque rooms or in full Gunlight, who dciled time norc sue ccs5fully than any beauty who has ever trod the stage.
 Fortune was none too kind to either of thc5c two women; indeed, it s',ins as if these best dclcd years who were constantly stirred up to effort. 1t de- ponds upon a woman herself more than upon her advantages whether she can re- tain her charms and her youth up to thrce-score.

BUOYING A WHALE.
siberian Natives Make His Sinking I'm.
 possible and Then Kin Him.


 possible and Then Kin Hun. Capt. E. J. Clifford, of the whaling bark Triton, which arrived in port re- gently, says the San Francisco Chron-
 cle relates the particulars of an inter-
 esting whale hunt, of which he was a
 witness. The natives of that region
 are people of low intelligence, their
 chief employment being the capture of
 inhabitants of the waters that wash the
 siberian coast. These people have be- come experts in the vocation that fur nishes them with the necessaries of life
 The story as told by Capt Clifford is as follows:
 I've had been laying at anchor for several days in small and almost land- lock bay, and had done some little trad ing with the inhabitants of a village about half mile inland. One morning all hands were awakened by great hubbub on shore, the cause of which was the presence of a school of sperm whales three or four miles outside the harbor. In a short time ten canoes, each containing from six to eight na- tyes put off and made straight toward where an occasional jet of water marked the spot where the big fellows were sporting.
 "I was good deal puzzled to know how those fellows were going to cap- turc one of those huge animals, which is by no means an easy prey to the best trained boats crew, supplied with all the modern appliances. The boats kept close together and approached the school with great caution. When with in about three hundred yards of the nearest whale the canoes separated, and Gs the big fellow came up to blow they rapidly closed in from three sides at once. The whale by this time was lazily rolling in the trough of the sea, apparently unaware of the approach of his enemies. So well timed was the ap- proach of the canoes that they were all within easy reach of the whale when the leader gave the signal to throw the harpoons. In a moment at least thirty harpoons were sticking from the shiny back of the whale, and the canoes shot back out of reach of the big flulIes in less time than it takes to tell it.
 And here comes the strange part of the performance. Attached to each harpoon were about two hundred feet of line, and on the end of each line were reindeer skins inflated with air. In one or two instances casks were attached to the lines. You can imagine the situa- ton. Here was the whale with enough buoys attached to him to float a ship, and when he attempted to sound he would be brought to the surface again, only to receive a shower of hand lances from the canoes. The sport did not last long, and four hours from the time the canoes left the beach they lowed the whale in and men and women were at work cutting him up"
