snake Charming.

"Snake charming has become common
thing nowadays" said professional snake
handler the other day, after reading the &C
count of 'Dot" Sonwell's mishap, land the
danger about the work is just sufficient to
attract some people. Yes, there is always
danger unless the poisonous fangs are ex-
tracted. tits almost impossible to charm,
or rather drug, some species OF snakes so
that they can always be depended upon
They are a treacherous 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 de-
fiance. / have known the fiercest diamond
back ever brought from Florida cool down
as tame as lamb when its poison fang was
taken out. Most of the snakes handled by
charmers on the stage are harmless, so far
ms poisoning any one is concerned. 1t should
be crime too, to let those with the fangs
in be exhibited.
"What are the secrets of snake charming?
Oh, WE'LL they are smple-simpler than
most people imagine. In the first place the
snake to be handled is gorged with food so
that it is sleepy and drowsy. Then it is
drugged so that its senses are dazed and
quiet. Sometimes they are put in boxes
containing ice and the cold puts them into
semi torpid condition. In either case the
snake is very gentle and only half in
possession of its senses Then the snake
charmer uses certain motions in handling
the reptile, and by dint of dexterity and
strength the snake is easily passed from
hand to hand and allowed to coil its Shiny
length over arms, legs and body. The ex-
hibitor, however, must be constantly on the
alert When the snake becomes too lively
it is time to replace it in the box. The
hand must grasp it at certain places where
the head can be guided and held from the
body. This is the hardest thing the charm
er has to learn, but it comes with practice.
If handling reptile with the poisonous
fangs in one must be strong and in perfect
health. Any nervousness or temerity
might cost him his life. The grasp and
movements must be precise and accurate
There is no room for hesitancy or uncertain
ty, 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"

A traveller stopped at a little cabin in the

his coat-one little girl had plucked and
pinned there as he was leaving home.
A woman entered the cabin. She stood
and gazed at the rose moment. Then,
