\ Terror to EattIcsnakes.

The cuckoo has never enjoyed good
standing among birds because Of its con-
stitutional disinclination to build a nest
OF its own.
There are, however, some members
OF the cuckoo family, especially those
whose home IS in southern California
and no other bird is held in higher cs-
TEEN by the people there. This is be-
cause the cuckoo bird Is the deadly enc
my OF the Iattlesuakc. and this is how
he Kills the viper.
Should it chance to discover a snake
asleep e. the vicinity Of a growth Of
Chat small cactus or prickIv pear which
Gen. Fremont found SO formidable q
barFEr in southern California it will
quietly and vigorously commence to
builr cheyauN-de-frise Of it about the
unconscious reptile The stems of the
cactus are extremely fragile at the
joints The bird usually selects the
early morning for lis operations, as the
snake sleeps torpididly at this hour, es-
pccially along the coast, where he IS
benumbed by the chill at night. When
the rattlesn>ke is literally "cOrailed" by
the bristling inCiosure the paisano sud-
denly arouses him by a sharp stroke Of
lis bill, or it takes Il Joint of the cactus
in its beak, poises it in the air few feet
above the sleeping victim and drops it
full upon him.
To coil fora spring is the reptiles first
movement and thus lis body is brought
into violent contact with the sharp
points OF TIE paIisade To retreat is
the n~.t aim. 1t strives in vain 10 find

continues industriousIy to drop missiles

are no more welcome to rattlesnake
than To- any other creature. He be-
comes more and more enraged. Again
and again he madly strikes. Blinded at

piunges his fangs into his own flesh and
at last dies, his own eXecutioner.

The Japanese Minister'S Wife,

Nine. Tateno, wife of the japanese
minister. is one of the most interesting
foreigners in Washington, as her spirit
of adaptability has led to her trying in
every way to follow the manners and
customs of the country of which She is
for the first time being a resident Her
first effort was directed to mastering
the language and throughout her stay
here she has made Il practice of accom-
panying her husband in his round of
call
At first the minister acted as her in
terprcter, but although necessarily 81
lent in these interviews. the Obseryant
little woman was keenly watchful, es-
pecially in regard to American customs
at uncheOns and dinners 1t was her
ambition to give dinners at which the
perfectly conventional settings would
be the proof Of her proficiency. This.
OF course. could have been accomplish
ed by putting things in the charge Of a
caterer and professional walters but
such 4 course would not Save salts
fed the womaniy instinct that aspired
TO personal knowledge.
The result Of her labor is that Nine.
Tatcno now enjoys the distinction OF be-
inc one of the most elegant dinner-giv-

of her table are exquisite and the menu
is always perfect Before the arrival Of

life
We were on a shooting party near the
Poiutee indigo factory. on the Ganges.
and one day when we returned from
our mornings round in the jungles
after deer and always a possible tiger
or n wolf, we found that some fishermen
had brought in an alligator about Is feet
long securely bound on bullock cart.
The animal was still alive. but had evi-
IDENTIFY been severely beaten to make
him quiet on the bullock cart. so the
order was given 10 tie = stout rope
around its loins and to turn it into Il
small tank to refresh and recover itself
while we were taking our baths and our
breakfast.
Breakfast over, the alligator was
hauled out Of the tank. and was quite
lively, 50 that it had to be fastened to a
tree. Then operations for killing it be
gan, but bullets from small rifle or an
ordinary twelye-hore gun seemed only
to irritate it. \ SOntal brought large

The King Of Beasts.

1t is the opinion of tanners that the
tiger IS more TO he feared than the lion.
One will Kill a man with as much ease
rs the other: but the lion gives faiI
warning of his murderOus intention by
rushing at his victim with Il roar, where
as the tiger, true representative of the
cat tribe, comes sneaking up with the

to set his fanGs. with sudden spring.
into the very life of his victim. The
lion has somewhat greater muscular
power than the tiger but the latter has
greater quickme>s. In intelligence Ihey
are about equal: and in general it may
be said that a fuIl-groWn Nuban lion
and full-grOWn rOyal Bengal tiger
(each, say,+ years oid) are fair match.
1t would be an even guess which would
xiii the other.
i lion can drag a carcass weighing
1000 pounds with his fangs. The
strength Of the muscles of the back is
wonderful. II lion and Il strong horse
were to pull in opposite directions the
horse would pull the lion backward with
comparative ease: but if the lion were
hitched behind the horse and facing in
the same direction and were allowed to
exert his strength in backing hs could
easily pull the horse down upon his
launches, so much greater is his strength
when eXerted backward from the hind
legs than in forward pulling. A lion
springing through the air from 4 dist
ance Of six feet would knock down a
horse or bullock with a single blow of
his forearm, backed by the momentum
of his 800 pounds weight A full
grown lion in the jungIes will jump
twenty-five or thirty feet on the level
from running start. In captivity the
same lion would clear a distance about
half rs great. a lion can jump over a
fence eight or ten feet high but not at
a bound. He catches first with his fore
legs and drags his body after him.
Tigers will jump a tritle higher than
this. But of all wild animals the
leopards are the greatest Jumpers,
being able to hurl their 1.-THE and beauti-
ful bodies, curled up almost into ball,
extraordinary heights. They bound
with ease, for instance, from the floor of
the cage so as to touch a ceiling twelve
feet high.
For a short distance q lion or a tiger
can outrun a man and can equal the
speed OF a fast horse but they lose their
wind at the end of half a mile at the
most They have little endurance and
are remarkably weak in lung power.
Their strength is the kind which is cap
able of a terrific effort for a short time.
1t would take six men to hold a lion
down, even after his legs were tied 50

Surplus Horses in the West.

What to do with surplus horses is
proving a rather perpIeNing problem in
the northwest. 1t is estimated by the
\. Y. ErcniHg Post that in eastern
Washington, Oregon Montana. Nevada
and Idaho there are 2,OOO.0 head of
halt-breed horses for which no market
can be found The prices brought at
auction sales are so low that there is no
profit in raising the animals. 4 few
dollars will now buy Il good mustang
in that part of the country Mean
while the stock running wild on the big
ranches goes on increasing out of all
proportion TO the demand. The cause
Of the depression in the horse trade is
largely the employment of electricity
as 4 motive power in every part of the
country and no market can be assured
in the future except for horses with Il
thoroughbred strain i'll them,
1t is now proposed literally to kill off
by thousands the mon9rel herds of the
northwest and convert them into fertil-
ling and similar compounds With
this end in view Il company has been
organized at Portland Gre, and Il site
for the abattoir has been secured. 1t is
proposed by the incorporators to bring
all the horses purchased to thoir abat-
toirs and there Kill them by a painless
method. The flesh will then be rem
dered Of all its fat, and the residue, with
the bones and hoofs, will he made into
a fertilizer. The hides, that have al
ways a market value, will be carefully
removed and salted, the hair being
shaved off and with the name and
tail used for the stutling of mattresses
aud upholstery work.

A letter to Louvois by Louis XIV,
written in cipher, has been long in the
archives of the ministry Of war and has
at length been deciphered. In it the
king orders Louvois to arrest General
de Burlonde for having raised the siege
OF Cont without permission, to send
him to Pignerol and to conceal his
features under a loup, or black velvet
mask. The order was executed, and the
presumption is therefore violent that the
MAN In the Iron Mask"-it was black
velvet one with iron springs-was Gen
eral de Burlonde. The story tallies with
the known fact that the prisoner made
repeated attempts To communicate his
name to soldiers; that he was treated
with respect by his military jailers, and
that Louis XIV, who knew the truth of
the whole affair, declared it TO be a mat
ter of no Importance. The difficulty is
to discover the kings motive for such a
precaution. but he may have feared dis
content among his great officers or the
soldiery. 1t must, however, be possible
to discover from the lists in the war
Office whether General de Burlonde was
recorded as missing" or dead" about
the right time.-Saturday Review.
