as money, because it interests the
whole people, while the money belongs
to few hundred mean men, who will
manage it as they desire despite all tho
congresses in creation.
But we simply don't know anything
about the subject. Up in the city it
makes us miserable occasionally and
the girls always, but down in sanity
Dam-weH,s you ought to see all the
sufferings they go through. There are
well-to-do people in Amity Dam who
dare not idiscuss their own DINNERS in
their own dining rooms forifear some
rumor of unfavorable criticism may
reach the kitchen. I have seen man
ballasted with biscuit, which, if they
had shifted little to one side within
him, would certainly have capsized
him, rise up from his table and go forth
to compliment the cook, just because
it was his turn, and somebody had to
do it every day.
It is all question of demand and
supply, of course. In the city the sup
ply may be short, but it cannot be ac-
curately guaged, and everybody has
right to hope; but in Amity Dam the
number of ''hired girls" is absolutely
known. There are not enough to go

many saddening occurrences, but tho
most pathetic story is that OF Mrs. Jer-
nv Blake. I know that it is true, be-
cause such facts as did not C ONE under
my own eyes were told me by two
women of the Dam who had never
agreed upon anything else in their
lives.
Twice year-in the spring and fall
there is a quarrel all around, which
results in general shifting OF posi-
tions. Except for these seasons OF
disturbance a woman without a serv-
ant would be hopeless. The expert
ment of getting a girl from Boston
has been tried but has always failed.
No girl would come down here with
out a return ticket and those who got
the tickets invariably used them i'm
mediately. Arlity D,-' is like Heaven

Mrs. Blake struck an idea; it might be
possible to induce an elderly and unat-
tractive widow, lin search of quiet
home, to Anity Dam.
"All poor widows have children"
was Mr.. Blake's comment upon this
plan.
II think we might stand ono child"
replied Mrs. Blake ''I'll see what 1
can do up in Boston next week"
She applied at some Of the Boston
agencies for neat, willing widow

feet, and by the time the dishes had
been washed Mrs. McGoggin had
agreed to remain. She spent the after
moons in unpecking her goods. and on
Thursdays and Sundays she went about
explaining to the neighbors' servants
WIN it was that she had not gone
away.
Mrs. Blake was long suffering and
slow to anger, but she naturally did not
regard this state of affairs as ideal. Con-
sequently she began to scheme for
change. Unknown to Mrs. McGeggin
she engaged, by letter, another widow
with two children who was to be sent
down from Boston certain day. She
arrived andiwas secreted in the town,
for Mrs. Blake was of q peaceful dis
position and disliked to SEQ Mrs. Nc
Geggin throw crockery, especially
when she herself was to be the mark.
Mrs. McGoRgin resigned as usual on
Tuesday morning and packed her
goods. Mrs. Blake contrived to have
an expressman take them to the wharf.
On Wednesday, when the hour for the
usual prostration of the Blake family
came, no such ceremony occurred.
Mrs. McGoggin was dazed. She could
not understand it. She did not believe
that it was omitted; she supposed that
it was postponed. She took every step
toward her departure with feeling
that the next minute she would be
urged to remain, and in that way she
and the children at last got aboard the
little steamer and were carried away
weeping.
Mrs. Blake breathed again. She
installed the new queen Of the kitchen
with her two offspring. who were even
more given to lamentation than Mrs.
McGoggin's had been.
And 10, at nine o'clock in the even

inefficient steamer had broken down in
the bay. It was said that the cook had

They were pacified in some way and

SNAKES FOR FOOD.
Only Prejudice Excludes Them from tn
Bill Of Fare.

Only Prejudice Excludes Them from the
Bill of Fare.
"Why don't people eat snakes?"
Because it is not stylish"
The above question and answer are
really all that is necessary at this date.
The question is suggested because, at
the present day, there is great de-
Aand for two other classes of reptiles,
3amely, frogs and turtles-for food
and yot we never hear of snakes being
offered on the market. The answer
follows, for the reason that fashion
dictates all things, from our birth to
our death, and as yet snakes are inter
dicted as food, to Americans, at least.
Frenchmen are generally credited
with knowing good thing" and
they practiced frog eating for
centuries before other countries ac-
knowledged the delicacy of frogs
legs. At last the custom reached
the United States, and was
quite generally adopted, and the term
''frog-eaters' was no longer consid-
cred opprobrious. Somewhat over
century ago there was revolt on
Virginia plantation because the slaves
were principally fed on diamond
backed terrapins, which could be Sc
cured at an expense of one dollar a
cart-load. Now these terrapins bring
from forty dollars to sixty dollars
dozen.
Snake flesh is white and tender, and
doubt not is AS good as that of any
other cold-blooded animal. There is
no earthly reason to doubt it and it
would be unreasonable to dispute it.
Prejudice alone prevents our trying
fried snakes and the same prejudice
keeps many persons from eating nicely
cooked cells, because they SO closely re-
kemble snakes Let us compare snakes
and cells, and we shall find that snakes,
and, in fact, all reptiles including our
favorite green turtle and delicate frog,
are immeasurabiy above the cells and
all other fishes in The scale of animal
life. But allowing that mammals,
reptiles and clear down to the de-
generate fishes are all good because
they are vertebrates, why do we not
limit ourselves to this subSingdom in
stead of dropping to the lower and
serving up crabs, lobster and shrimps?
But not content with this drop we
take another plunge, and going away,
away below the insects we reach the
clam and oyster, which we eat entire,
and often in raw state.
In certain parts of Europe snakes
Ore eaten by the lower class of people.
They are sold prepared at the markets
as hedge-eels, and are in considera BILE
demand in southern France. In many
parts of the uncivilized world the flesh
Of serpcnts is eaten, and we have it on
the authority of well-known travellers
and explorers that, although not
tempting, the dish is in no wise I'M
pala BILE.
1t may be a long time before the
fashion generally adopts snakes as
1ood, but it should be borne in mind
Shat we descend lower in the scale
when we feed on fish, and immeasura-
bly, lower in our cultivated taste for
oysters Field.

weather was too inciement when she
first arrived. She was able, however,
to get to the wharf on the days when
the little steamer departed, and she
never failed to manifest deep grief.
This practice was naturally very an
moving to Mrs. Blake, for it reflected
gravely upon the reputation Of the
household as confortab BILE place OF
abode; and after it had been going on
for few weeks Mrs. Blake was rea-
sonably certain that she could never
get another servant in case Mrs.
McGoggin should leave. In view
of this peril she treated Mrs
McGoggin with tho utmost con-
sideration and Difference, with the
natural result that she was obliged to
treat her better every day. Mrs. Nc
Goggins heart could be reached
through her children, and therefore
Mr.. Blake was required to kiss one OF
them every morning after break
fast The orders at first were to
do it before breakfast. q season
when Mrs McGoggin's temper was
was accustomed to stand most in need
of soothing influences, but this course
of treatment was found to interfere SO
seriously with Mr.. Blake's appetite
that he was permitted to take it after
meals. In tho beginning he was al
lowed to choose the cherub whose coun-
tenance preserved the higher average
of cleanliness, but it was soon evident
that the effect upon Mrs. McGoggin
was not what it should have been.
Close observation then disclosed the
fact that she had distinct preference
for the child with the consSitutionally
dirty face, and that any attention to
the other aroused maternal jealousy.
Mr.. Blake made some feeble remon-
STRANGE when this state Of affairs was
explained to him, but he was a. good
husband. and eventually learned to
take his medicine with resignation.

at Amity Dam Wednesdays and Satur-

that Mrs. McGoggin resigned her po-
sition regularly on Tuesdays and Fri
days in the morning. She spent those
days in packing up her worldly posses
