Badly Cut with a Club.

George Mitchell, an Indian, living on
Lafayette street, was brought to the
station unconscious Saturday night with
big cut over the eye. The Indian was
attended by City Physician Nickerson,
who said the cut was not dangerous.
The Indian claimed after coming to con-
seriousness that he went to Alex. Nc
Lain's, laborer, at 267 Fore street, to
get McLain to pay him money that Nc
Lain owed him, and that McLain chased
him out of the yard and felled him with
club. McLain said the Indian came
into his yard drunk and spelling for a
fight and that when he ordered him out
the Indian struck him. Then he knocked
the man down with club. The club
was II inches long, and three
in diameter.

The father of Frank W. Stokes OF
Philadelphia, who accompanied the
Peary party to Greenland, has received a
letter from his son dated Battle Harbor,

stormy voyage. One of the Eskimo

Now snakes Are Handled.

Standing in front OF great glass cage
full of snakes, said to Mr.. Hagenbeck:
.sNow, how do you manage to get hold
of these reptilesa They must be very
dangerous"
"Ahr he replied with a thoughtful
look, sI'll tell you later on one or two
stories Of dreadful adventures that my
self have had with snakes. In the mean
time this is the way they are caught in
India:
SIN the dry season the jungle is set on
fire. AS the snakes run out in all direc-
tions they are caught by the natives with
long sticks having a hoop at the end, to
which is attached big bag, a sort of ex-
aggerated butterfly net. After that the
reptiles are packed in sacks made Of
mating, which are fastened to long
bamboos and carried to Calcutta on the
shoulders of the natives.
ssWhen Calcutta is reached. they are
packed in big boxes, from 10 to Is in a
box-that is, when they are only 8 or 10
feet long; big snakes, from IA to 16 feet
in length, are only packed from two to
three in box. They are then sent direct
to Europe, without food or water on the
journey, for they require neither. The
principal thing is to keep them warm.
Cold gives them mouth disease, which is
certain death.
"I remember once" continued Mr..
Hagenbeck, ss.that I had 1879 snakes reach
London in perfect condition; a violent
snowstorm then came on, and when the
boxes were opened in Hamburg every
snake was dead. MEG Cures Magazine.
