A Poisonous. Monarch.

Amonarch among poisonous snakes is
the enormous hamadryad, which grows
to be as much as IA feet in length and
is so fierce that it will sometimes attack
and even chase any one who ventures
near to its nest. Native snake charmers,
who will handle the fiercest cobras fear
lessly, are usually loath to touch ha-
madryad, though have occasionally
seen large specimen Of this venomous
reptile in their bags. 1t lays its eggs in
a heap of decaying leaves, which it col
lects for the purpose, and sits upon the
top to keep off intruders. A road through
the jungle will sometimes be closed
against all comers by pair Of these
snakes, and woe betide the unfortunate
traveller who stumbles unawares upon
the nest. The hamadryad feeds largely
upon other snakes, but it is fortunately
somewhat rare. Curiously enough, 1t is
not always aggressive. Indeed it some
times happens that it is quite unwilling
to strike. Specifically it is not unlike
a harmless rock snake, and not very
long ago in Burmah a man brought one
in from the jungle and kept it loose in
his house for some days under the i'm
preston that it was one of these crea-
lures During the whole of it's captivity
it never attempted to bite any one, and
its captor, who had been familiarly pull
ing it about by the tail, was only ap-
prised of his mistake by forest officer
who happened to turn up and who knew
a good deal about snakes. 1t is easy to
imagine the haste with which the anna
teur snake charmer proceeded to dispose
of his captive. ve.-McClure' Magazine.

DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
The Ease With Which Precious Stones Of
Large Value May Be Concealed.

The Ease With which Precious Stones Of
Large Value May Be Concealed.
One of the simplest devices for SNUG
Cling diamonds is that of the hollow
heeled shoe. 1t is asserted that boots
and shoes constructed so as to leave a
small vacant space in the heels are easily
obtained in Europe, and they are espe-
cially manufactured for the purpose of
supplying smugglers with means for
escaping detection.
The porous plaster has often served as
a means Of secreting diamonds. When
it is understood that $40, 900 worth of
diamonds or more can easily be inclosed
in a paper parcel about as wide as this
column, IL inches high and about a
quarter of an inch thick, it is easy to
comprehend that such package can be
kept securely in place by means Of an
innocent but highly serviceable porous
plaster.
One of the most ingenious methods
ever employed was the use of q cake of
soap, wherein a number of diamonds
had been imbedded. 1t is highly proba-
BILE that this plan would have proved
successful had it not been that the OFF,
GERS of the government had received in
formation that the suspected person had
diamonds with him and searched his ef-
fects SO thoroughly that they examined
even the gem studded block Of soap.
The wife of this smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less ingen-
ious than that of her husband Her hat
was ornamented with punches Of grapes
which under ordinary circumstances
would only have awakened the envy Of
other weerers of bonnets. Within the
of great value.
Another smuggler was especially pro-
vided by Providence with smuggling
device in the shape of heavy covering
Of thick, bushy hair, which he arranged
so that it stood up from his forehead
like an impenetrable bush. Within this
mass of heavy hair he deposited good
ly stock of diamonds and succeeded for
time in escaping the vigilance of the
custom house officials.
As these schemes have become known
to the custom house authorities the in
genuity of smugglers has been more Sc
verely taxed. A recent discovery dis
closed the following elaborate plan,
which succeeded a great many times be-
fore it was discovered:
Two smugglers operated in partner,
ship. The first crossed the ocean and be-
fore leaving the wharf reserved a return
berth for a certain date. The date and
the number of the berth were at once
cabled to his accomplice in America
Having purchased his diamonds, in due
time ne returned to this country in &C.
cordance with the instructions previous
ly cabled. No amount of examination
resulted in finding any diamonds upon
his person Meanwhile, however, his
partner had secured the same berth.
When the day for sailing came, part
ner No. 2, accompanied by his family,
entered the cabin and extracted from q
secure hiding place several parcels of
diamonds left there by his accomplioe.
These he handed to his fearful family,
who after bidding him goodby left the
steamer unsuspected and brought the
diamonds into the market. 1t took long
time to discover this scheme.

MongOlian Magic.

These Taichinar Mongols are much
given to all forms Of magic Storm dis
pelling they appear to have learned from
the K'amba Tibetans, but the origin OF
some of their other practices is not SO
clear. Certain among them, they claim,
can cause person to be stricken i'll or
can even compass his death. After hav-
ing procured few hairs, nail pairing
or something from the person Of the in
tended victim, they make little image
of him in flour, and in this stick the
relic. Then it suffices to prick the head,
heart, lungs or limbs Of the effigy to
cause acute pains to be felt by the orig
inal in the same portion of his body. OF
course one must recite certain potent
charms the while. In them lies the Sc
cret of success. / am not aware that this
mode of bewitching person, SO well
known in the western world in ancient
and medi@val times, obtains to any
great extent in Asia. Personally have
never met it elsewhere. Woodville

An Historic Pen.

Whenever the ex-empress of the French
writes about her lamented husband, she
invariably uses the diamond pen which
signed the treaty of Paris. Each of the
IA plenipotentiaries wanted to keep the
pen with which he signed the Paris tres-
ty as memento of the occasion. They,
however, yielded to the request Of the
Empress Eugene, who begged that only
one pen should be used, which should be
retained by her as a souvenir. Only one
pen was accordingly used. It was q
quill plucked from golden eagles wing
and richly mounted with diamonds and
gold.-London Tit-Bits.
