Girls Under Lock and Kew.

Mr.. Bigg- Withcr, an English engineer.
who was employed some years in railroad
surveying in Brazil, tells some interest
ing experiences among the landed pro-
prietors. Let me quote few paragraphs
pertaining to visit he made in the valley
of Ivahy.
Senior Andrade was an old man and al
lowed his wife to do most of the talking
for him when she was in the room. One
of her first questions was to know wheth-
er was married; and on hearing that l
was still in the full enjoyment of freedom
she proceeded to enlarge rpon the de-
lights of married life, at the same time in
forming me that she had five unmarried
daughters. After this pretty broad hint
of what was expected, of course 1 ex-
pressed wish to make the acquaintace of
these fair members Of the family. Her
face became suddenly grave, she looked
hesitatingly at her husband, who had re-
manned silent putting his cigarette dur
ing the conversation, and he said some
thing which did not understand, but
which at once dispelled her momentary
gravity. The old man got up. went across
to locked door. turned the key, opened
it and disappeared into dark chamber
within.
Almost Immediately he returned, saw
ing:
''The girls are not accustomed to seeing
strangers and are afraid"
Meanwhile the sonora, who evidently
now determined that her daughters should
show themselves, had also disappeared
into the secret chamber, from which now
proceeded sounds of whispering and sup
pressed giggling. Presently the sonora
reappeared, leading a very modest looking
damsel of about nineteen years, closely
followed by three others apparently
3 somewhat younger. All were over
whelmed with an intense shyness and an
hysterical desire to laugh. After the for
NAL and separate introduction of each
be it noted that the lady is here intro
duced to the gentleman-they all scamp
cred back into the secret chamber and
their papa turned the key on them.
AT this time was ignorant of the Gus
tom which is SO general in these out of
the way parts of keeping women, or rath-
er the daughters, locked up like wild
beasts; consequently I did not hesitate to
express my wonder and to ask why il
was done in this case. In answer Senior
Andrade SAID that it was the custom Of
the country, and be had never thought Of
bringing up daughters in any other way
do they ever 60 outa" I asked.
mo, never" he replied ssnot now thai
they are full grown"

Graduated All Right.

The old man, the old woman, and the
children had travelled ten miles in an OK
cart to see the young man graduate. 1t
had cost the old man all the cash in sight
to give the boy chance, and now he was
going to see him distinguish himself He
arrived, and found his son in the hall
talking with three professors, says the At
lanta Constitution. The young man
glared at him in gold eye glasses, with
yellow shoes. II believe you are my
father" he said with condescension, "but
really you are quite disguised in that old
hickory striped shirt. Put it off as soon
as you can. I'll lend you one of my
white ones. And, mother, l must see
your mllliner. You look fright IN that
bonnet. And that little cotton head chap
my brother, l believe. Why don't you
dye his hair2 He's in bad taste, you
know. And, father send that OK cart
home by your footman. I'll hire car
riage, you know. Oh, I've got lots to
learn you. Just wait till l get home!' y
While the graduate was going on in this
style the dumfounded old man was slowly
divesting himself of his new home made
coat, and as slowly rolling up the sleeves
of his hickory striped shirt. Then he
fell upon the graduates neck, and the lat
ter fell upon the floor before the aston
ished professors. "S;t on his head, old
woman !" shouted the old man, land hand
me that buggy trace, Jimmy. WY, the
darn onery critters forgot his raisin'
That's it, Maria! Hold him down while
I fail the life outen himr' And ten
minutes later the graduate, minus the yell
low shoes, was being hauled home in the
OK cart, and his mother was wondering if
a flaxsced poultice wouldn't help his head

man who had travelled long and far to

said the door attendant.
Just then there was q rustic of skirts
and Nine. Patti swept into q room adj
joining. In minute the most beautiful
birdlike notes rose upon the air, unmis-
takably from PATHS throat.
"She is singing to me- SAID the de-
lighted listener to himself, land she is
too modest to come in and sing directly
before me. She wants me to hear her as
she sings at home. Oh, what JOY to have
this privilege"
At this moment the heavy draperies
were pulled aside and the attendant said /;
"You may wait upon Nine. Patti now.
She has been giving short lesson to her
parrot. She teaches him every day. This

How a Drummer Thought He Was

II had the meanest joke played on me
over at Indianapolis the other day that
white man was ever called upon to en-

81 had been wishing for some time past
to become mason. had talked great
deal about it, and my ambition became
pretty we'll known to the travelling fratern-

they put up a job on me that for breadth

Tom said that his lodge met on Monday
next. and that if + desired to become a
member he would see me through and
give me all the sixty-six degrees; SAID the
usual fee for going through the entire
gamut was 5000, but that business was
trife dull and they had reduced the rate
for October, and I could go through
flying for $50. Bit? Of course bit,
and bit hard. No sucker ever made such
hot haste to swallow hook incased in
red flannel. The rest Of the gang pre-
tended to leave town next day, but 1t was

comfortable basis of intercourse with the
rattlesnakes. She is really a magnificent
creature, black as jet, nearly 6 feet long,
with a row of golden spots down each CHS

me, think, and when approach her with
a saucer of milk she sometimes rears up
her head and expands that curious men,
brane at the sides of the neck. 1t has
two black circles marked on it. She
seems to expand the membrane under
pleasurable influence as well as under an
angry one. Last night, before going to
bed, tried the effect of the toumril upon
her. 1t makes soft and soothing sound
much more so than the ordinary flute.
Saprini seemed to notice it at once,
though the glass front of the cage inter
vened. She came out from beneath her
blanket and reared slowly up, swaying
little from side to side. have no doubt
that l shall be able to perform all the
feats of the Hipdoo charmers with lit

The cobra arrived yesterday dune p
had previously had cage made for her
adjoining that occupied by the rat le-
snakes Both cages have slate bottoms
hard wood sides and are glazed IN front
with plate glass, which can be lifted on
grooves like a window when necessary
The partition between the cages IS pierced
by a small door, which can be opened or
closed by a cord from the outside. The
whole affair is fixed at the side of the
room opposite the north window and has
to my thinking at least. quite a fine ap
pearance
My new guest was rather restless AT
first and kept rearing mp against the
glass and exploring every corner of her
habitation Toward evening she quieted
down and swallowed some food that !
gave her with an air of good fellowship
that promises well for the future. | am
fond of her already | think there is
more in her than in the rattlers. Not
necessarily more poison perhaps. but
more depth of character-a strange ori-
entail charm-and she is certainly as
handsome a reptile as ever carried death
in her fang.
