of the cage is covered by deep layer
of dirt and gravel. Both these snakes
have been in DIR. Knox's possession a
year, and have sometimes been on ex-
hibition.
One evening DIR. Knox passed the
cage several times, going to and from
MS front office. Every time he passed
the cage the python snake Kissed at
him. He paid no attention to the
snake, and was more amused than
otherwise at the incident. Later in
the evening he locked up his Office and
drove over to Brewster, where his fam
lily is now stopping. When the doctor
opened his Office the next day the
first thing he remembers doing was to
examine his snake collection. He
looked in the cage and saw what he
supposed were several new potatoes
lying under the python snake, Eve.
He opened the cage to remove them.
Going close to the snake, it Missed at
him. This made him pause. Then he
took second look and was surprised
to see about one hundred snake eggs
under her.
Two of the eggs are on the writer's
desk as samples. They vary in size
and are rather heavy. They are soft to
the touch, oval in form, and ashy gray
color. The smaller of the eggs is the
size and shape of ducks. The larger
one is no thicker, but about six inches
long. They were slightly speckled.
1t is said that the shell will become
hard.
Perhaps a snake laying eggs in cap
tivity is not unusual, but the only case
called to the writer's attention was
when python did a similar thing at
the Paris geological garden in 1874.
This serpent laid three dozen eggs.
She brooded on her eggs and Matched
young ones. She deposited her eggs
on the 5th of May, and the first young
one made its appearance on the I'd of
July.
Whether DIR. Knox's collection of
pythons will be augmented or not by
the eggs is a matter to be seen.

A JOB FOR THE PREACHER.

1t Was to Be Either Conversion or the
Funeral of a Mountaineer.
The mountain circuit rider met me
at the foot of Hurricane gap in the Pine
mountains, says Detroit Free Press
man, and we rode along together, and
about mile from where the roads
forked we were stopped by a noun
taineer with Winchester, whom the
preacher knew. He presented me in
due form, and when the native knew l
was an outsider he didn't hesitate to
talk.
81 just stopped YER" he said to the
preacher, 'ter ak yer to come up to the
house in the mornin'."
"Anybody sick?" inquired the
preacher.
''No," and the mountaineer hest
tated. you know you have been a
talkin' ter me fer long time erbout
gitten religion, an been holdin' off,
The preacher nodded and looked
pleased, for there was tone of peni-
tence in the natives voice.
''Well, I've erbout made up my mind

The preacher nodded sorroWfully
this time.
SWELL, I'm goin' down to see Jim
now," continued the mountaineer, 'an'

meetin' house when you come up in the

a funeral to preach, SOS you won't lose
nothin' by it nohow. 1 must be gittin'

Winchester into the hollow of his arm,
he hurried away through the thicket,
leaving the circuit rider and me sitting
on our horses in the road, completely
knocked out by the suddenness of it
all and the popularity.

PIGEONS AND FALCONS.
The Latter Can Garry Greater Weight
and Make Better Time.

Falconry may yet be restored, as it
seems, though not as a sport, but as
part of the terribly serious business,
war. A Russian officer, Capt. Smoiloff,
has been tanning falcons to serve as
dispatch carriers. The falcon has sew
eral advantages over the carrier
pigeon, says the Westminster Ga
zette. Not only is he more warlike
bird than the meek cousin of the dove,
but he is swifter in fight and capable
of great endurance. The greatest
swiftness ever known to be attained
by the carrier pigeon is fifteen Ger
man) miles an hour, but this is the
rate of the ordinary fight of the fall
con. D'Aubusson, in his work on ''The
Falconry of the Middle Ages tells
several anecdotes of the extraordinary
powers of the falcon and length and
swiftness of fight. For instance, a
falcon which was sent from the Canary
islands to the duke of Lerma in Spain
made the return fight from Andalusia
to Teneriffe in sixteen hours, which
was at the express speed of sixteen
(German) miles to the hour. A Ger
man mile is not far short of five Eng
lish miles, so that the speed of this
falcon must have been at the rate of
about seventy-fve miles an hour. A
further advantage of the falcon over
the pigeon is the greater weight which
it can carry. 1t is well known that a
very slight burden is an oppression to
the poor pigeon, so that dispatches are
reduced in size by Photographic copies,
in order to reduce the weight for the
feeble little carrier. Capt Smoilof
says he has found that falcon can
carry weight of four Russian pounds,
or 1,64O grams Thirty CRANES go to our
ounce), without diminishing it's power
or swiftness in flying. Besides, the
carrier pigeon may fall prey to the
falcon, while there is small danger of
any other bird taking the carrier fall
con prisoner.

Love Unrequited.
A touching story of tender love comes
to US from town not many miles from
this place, says western exchange.
A beautiful girl became engaged to a
gallant union officer. At the close of
the war he went to California to seek
his fortune. She ignored all advances
from scores of suitors, and patiently
awaited his return, feeling confidence
in his keeping true love to her. The
years passed, and even a few gray hairs
began to show themselves among her
brown tresses, while her friends nc
longer pitied but ridicu1ed her for re,
fusing all advances from desirable
sources. Lately her fidelity was re-
warded. The lover of her girlhood
days has returned from California

Warrens, who is a close observer and
saw these potatoes growing in the

were none like them on the prairie he
secured some for seed and sent them
to Mr. White. Out of one hill he
pulled four tubers which weighed an

Rapid City, it seems, has a very
active candidate for circuit Judge
besides Judge Gardner, in the per-
son of X. l.. Lewis, whose friends
make very strong claims for him,
and state their ability to carry
Pennington county for him. We
had supposed that Rapid City was
united upon Judge Gardner, but
since it is not, it may be necessary
for Hot Springs to prcsem a can
didate for the judgeship-in order
20 harmonic matters, and-lnci-
lentally-have the Judge more
centrally located. Rapid possibly
deserves such a lesson anyway.
Yet Gardner and Lewis are such
mcn that nc town need hesitate to
put forth for the honor. One
thing certain, however, Pennington
county will hardly secure the nom
nation unless it sends a united
delegation to the judicial conven'
ton.
