THE FEAR OF SNAKES.
Why Many Children and Some crown
Persons Dislike Them.

There are authenticated instances OF
children becoming attached to snakes
and making pets of them. The solu-
ton of question of this kind is some
times to be found in the child mind
NV experience is that when yonng
children see this creature its strange
appearance and manner OF progression,
so unlike those of other animals known
to them. affect them with amazement
and a sense of mystery. and that they
fear it Just as they would any other
strance thing. Monkeys are doubtless
affected in much the same way, although

a COURT ROMANCE.
An Incident at Ball That Caused the
Exile OF a Magyar Nobieman.


Exile Of Magyar Nobieman.
Young Count H, Magyar noble
man. lost his heart to his sovereign
many wears ago. Tall and well made,
and with an exceedingly handsome face
on his broad shoulders, Count Ii
was a young officer in the royal Hun
rarian body guard He worshiped the
empress with all the ecstacies of first
love. and he was ready to perpetrate
the maddest follies in order 10 win even
the fainteSt smile of recognition but
he had never dared TO breathe word
of his feelings to her. One night. how
ever. during ball at the castle of
Shoenbrunn, while wandering by her
side on the moonlit terraces he forgot
all else save his uncomfortable passion.
1t is true that the exquisite loneliness
of the young empress was suf1clent TO
set on fire the brain of any man, as she
stood there illuminated by the sllvery
rays of the harvest moon, with her Mar
cissus-like fairness. her great blue black
ewes looking so ANOMALY large in her
/ delicate face, and her ethereal form
clouded in sill1-embroidered, diamond
studded gauze. with huge emeralds
glittering on her hair and bosom.
The young officer came nearer to her.
and suddenly putting out his arms to
clasp her to his heart, murmured words
of passionate love. Before, however,
he could so much as touch her, she
stopped him with glance so chill and
so contemptuous that it seemed to
freeze and to magnetic him lie
naused a second, trembling from head
TO foot, then throwing himself wildly
at her feet he buried his face in the
perfumed laces OF her gown and soooeo
ont his love. Far from arouslng
sentiment of pity in her heart, th'
Young mans despair. his words and M
lxneeling attitude seemed TO her lntoi
cradle insults. She did not stop Il
, consider the temptation that had beer
been placed in his way, but drawn!
, aside with gesture of unuttera bic dis
dain. she left him and disappeared int
the palace.
Two days later Count H was eS
lied to his great possessions in the ia
south OF Hungary, and during man

feet inches in circumference. The
face is s feet inches long and from
ear to ear IL feet 0 inches wide. The

some idea of the size, and the figure is

Elastic Marble.

! In ono account OF Rome, the author
mentions five or six slabs of elastic mar
BILE as being in the possession of the
Prince Borghese. Being set on end,
they bend backward and forward; when
laid horizontally and raised at end,
they form curve; If placed on table
and piece of wood or any other sub
stance is laid under them, they fall into
kind of curve, each end touching the
table. The Able Forts was told that
they were dug up near the town Of Mon
dragon in the kingdom of Naples. The
grain is like that Of fine Carrara mar
bic, or perhaps of the finest Greek.
They seem to have suffered some attack
Of fire. A slab Of marble similar in
every respect to those described and
highly polished has been exhibited for
more than 25 years at the British mu-
scum. M. Fleuvian do Belvae succeed
ed in making common granular lime
stone, granular quartz, completely
flexible, by exposing it to certain
degree Of heat. In Lincoln cathedral,
England, there is an arch built of white
marble which is quite elastic, yielding
to heavy tread and returning or re.
bounding to its original position on true
elastic principles. es.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ORIGIN or LYNCH LAW.
u Began In virginia and Was Neither vio-
lent Nor MoblIke.


Lynch law had its origin in Virginia.
according to the conclusions of a gen.
tleman who has been investigating the
early history OF that state. 1t was not
mob law, as ii is now understood. 1t
was orderly, mothodical and fair in its
processes and was strongly opposed to
violence or mob rule. Its distinctive
feature was simply that its DEGREES and
findings were executed sternly and
swiftly upon the spot of their delivery.
Charles Lynch. whose name il aSso-
ciated with the summary proceedings
now known as acts of lynch law"
was Revolutionary soldier and after
the war ended took up his residence in
Pittsylvania county. The region in
which he lived became at one period of
the Revolution infested by bands of
Tories and outlaws, whose depredatiors
upon the defenseless people extended
from the lower parts of North Carolina
and Virginia 10 the passes of the Blue
Ridge and the headwaters of the
James and other mountain streams.
Deserters from both armies added
strength and semblance of organization
10 their operations. Wherever they ap-
peared the terror stricken inhabitants
were plundered, harassed and merci-
lessly subjected to every variety of in
suit and outrage. A remedy was need
ed for this insufferubie state of Things,
a remedy that should at once strike
such terror TO these miscreants as
would relieve community already suf-
fering from the effects of hostile inva-
sion. Colonel Lynch was the man to
take the lead in such an emergency.
He succeeded in organizing a body of
patriotic citizens, men of known char
acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, he at once
proceeded TO put them into execution.
At the head of his followers he prompt
ly got upon the track of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and caused
the others to flee from the country.
When any of these outlaws fell into
his hands, they wero not taken at once
to tree and hanged or tied to a stake
and shot, as is now done under the per-
verted system of the present day. This
was not according TO the code or Colo
mel Lynch and his followers.
So far from such lawless procedure
jury was selected from Lynch's men,
over which he presided as judge. The
captives were tried separately, the ac-
cused allowed to make his own defense
and to show cause, if he could, why he
should not be punished. If found
guilty, the punishment was inflicted on
the spot. The general impression has
been that in all cases Of lynch law the
penalty was death. This is mistake.
A writer who knew Colonel Lynch welt
was assured by him that he never will
ingly condemned criminal to capital
punishment; that prisoners were fire.
quently let off with o severe fiogging
ana then liberated on condition that
they would leave the country.
