Punishing Nh EsElmo Dog.

Tic worst punishment that can be In
fiicted upon conscientious leader Eskimo
dog Is to reduce him to the ranks, and his
abject demeanor US he sorrowfully slinks
along with his tail between his legs Is al
most heartrending, On the other hand, the
dog that has been promoted at once assumes
self conscious strut. The old adage that
dog will eat dog was proved repeatedly on
my Alaska trip On one occasion dog re
ceived no food for nearly five days because
we had through the bungling Of lying
guide underestimate the length Of march
and had run out Of the supply Of dried
salmon, which forms the sole dict Of the
Eekimo dog.
In consequence We lost half dozen Of
our faithful animals by starvation, a trial
which to me was more agonizing than any
personal suffering. Inever saw during this
period of misery single sign shown by any
one Of the team to satisfy his cravings upon
the body Of his fellow.--A. B. 6chanz In

THE FEAR OF SNAKES.
Why Many Chjldron and Some Grown Per-
sons Disliko Them.

MONS Dibilkc lucIns
There are many authenticated in
stances Of children becoming attached to
snakes and making pets Of them. The
solution OF q question Of this kind is
sometimes to be found in tho child mind.
My experience is that when young chill
dren see this creature its strange ap-
pearance and manner Of progression, 80
unlike those Of other animals known to
them, affect them with amazement and
sense of mystery and that they fear 1t
just as they would fear any other strange
thing. Monkeys are doubtless affected
in much the same way, although in
state Of nature, where they inhabit for
ests nbounding with the larger construct
ors and venomous tree snakes, 1t is high
ly probable that they also possess ira
ditional fear of the serpent form. 1t
would be strange il they did not.
The experiment Of presenting Gagged
monkey with serpent carefully wrapped
up in n newspaper and watching his be-
havior when he gravely opens the par
Gel, expecting to fine nothing more
wonderful than the familiar sponge
cake or succulent banana--well, such
m experiment has been recorded in
half hundred important scientific
works, and out Of respect to ones mas
ters one ought to endeavor not to smile
when reading 1t. A third view might
be taken which would account for our
feeling toward the serpent without ei-
ther instinct or tradition. Extreme fear
Of all ophidians might simply result from
a vague knowledge Of the fact that some
kinds are venomous that, in some rare
cases, death follows swiftly on their
bite, and that, not being sufficiently in
telligent to distinguish the noxious from
the innocuous--at all events while un-
der the domination Of sudden, violent
emotion--we destroy them all alike,
thus adopting Herod's rough and ready
method of ridding his city Of one incon-
venient babe by general slaughter Of
lnnocents,
1t might be objected that IN Europe,
where animosity to the serpent is great-
est, death from snake bite is hardly to be
feared; tLlt Fontana's 5000 experiments
with the viper, showing how small is the
amount OF venom possessed by this spe-
cies, how rarely it has the power to de-
stroy human life, have been before the
world for a century. And although it
must be admitted that Fontanas work
is not in the hand OF every peasant, the
fact remains that death from snake bite
is a rare thing in Europe, probably not
more than one losing his life from this
cause for every 25O who perish by hydro
phobia, of all forms OF death the most
terrible. Yet while the sight OF o snake
excites in majority OF persons the most
violent emotions, dogs are universal Ia
vorites, and we have them always with
us and make pets OF them in spite OF the
knowledge that they may at any time
become rabid and inflict That unspeaka-
bly, dreadful suffering and destruction
on us.
This leads to the following question;
Is it not at least probable that our ex-
cessiye fear OF the serpent, so unworthy
Of us as rational beings, and the cause OF

A SNAKE AROUND HIS WRIST.
The Grewsome Companion of Young
Suicide in New York.

New York, October 20.--Why young
Charles Elsie shot himself is one OF the
incomprehensib1e problems that worry
the coroner's officers Some love affair is
the only reason that his relatives can
assign for his self-destruction. He was
only nineteen years old, and had fair
success in the business Of taxidermy, in,
herited from his father. In life he loved
rats, mice, beetles, spiders, rattlesnakes
and other creeping things, and in death
they did not desert him.
For two weeks Elsie had almost Sc

ly companions being the beasts out OF
whose skins he earned his daily bread;
He was seen to write letters at record
speed and tear them up; he sighed and
talked of death and the pleasures OF an
early grave. But no one took any
particular notice of him until yesterday.
All through the day no one saw him,
and the neighbors began to wonder
whether his animal friends had eaten
him. When night had come they called
big Irish policeman.
9Th ere's a rattle snake in there" said
o warning voice, as the policeman hurled
his ponderous body against the door.
"If the haste makes break for me,
I'll fan the life out of him." said the
policeman.
The door crashed open. Then they saw
young Eislie lying on the bed half
dressed, bloody and dead, with a bullet
in his breast and revolver on the floor
by his side. In the same moment they
turned cold and sick, for there, round the
wrist of the dead right hand, was coiled
the rattlesnake, its fangs buried in the
flesh.
The policeman advanced toward the
body, and the serpent's head reared up
and, with low hiss, darted out at him.
He Jumped back in time to save himself
Herman Elsie, the dead mans father,
was at last found, and his task it was to
release the body of his son from the en-
brace of the snake.

THE ILL-FATED CHESTER BRIDGE.
Inquest Into the Causes of the Boston s.
Albany Disaster.

Springfield, Mass, October 20.-The
inquest on the Chester bridge disaster
opened at Westfeld this morning. Jo-
seph D. Reed, of Springfield, the foreman
in charge of the bridge repairs, said he
had intrusted the immediate supervision
of the Chester bridge to Daniel Belville,
his subordinate, whom he considered a
competent man. After the accident. he
saw 100 or more empty riyet holes in one
of the bridge plates. He had instructed
Belville to see that all the holes were
bolted and pinned.
This last statement was contradicted
by Belville himself, who was the next
witness. He said Reed gave him no in
structions. Belville in his turn, ac-
knowledged that he gave his men no in
structions as to how many holes might
be left untitled.
VIM. G. S. Chamberlain, Boston &
Albany civil engineer, said the top chord
of the bridge was examined by him at
ter the accident. 1t lacked one plate
and had no rivets or bolts. This, in his
opinion, was sufficient cause for the
accident

FOUR WERE KILLED.
They Were in Building Shattered by
Boiler Explosion.

Spokane, WASH, October 20.-Last
night terrible explosion shook the city
and moment later fire broke out in the
city dye house. After desperate fight
the fire was confined to the building in
which it started. Upon investigation it
was found that steam boiler in the dye
house had exploded. Almost every win
dow for two blocks was shattered and
several pedestrians who were passing at
the time were knocked down and
stunned. Next to the dye house was
Henry Friese's book store. Friese was
waiting on some customers when the
explosion took place. and the whole side
of the plastered wall fell in, burying him,
two ladies and man under the debris.
Friese was carried out badly wounded.
The names of the killed are: Mrs. John
Bean, H. Holland, Rose Turner, Miss
Azee. Sidney Smith, who was in the
bookstore, was badly injured and may
die. 1t is thought others are still in the
ruins.

court makes an important decision. This
was an action on a promissory note given
in the name of the defendant by one O..

dent denied that Ruggles was its treas
urer and claimed he had no authority to
give notes. The notes had been discounted
by the plaintiff in the usual course OF
business without notice that the legality
of the election Of Ruggles as treasurer
was questioned. The majority of the
court finds that the jury was rightly in
structed, that the treasurer of the de-
fendant's company by virtue of his office,
bind the corporation. In a dissenting
opinion by Chief Justice Field with
whom Judge Allen concurs it is held that
