A LOST SNAKE ON THE 81"

L road guards will want to know
hereafter IL packages are loaded before
they handle them recklessly. A Third
avenue line guard was requested yester-
day TO look out for a parcel which had
been left under or on n seat by some
body. He found 1t. and picked 1t up
with nm air of triumph. but next mo-
n ent dropped 1t, and was carrying on
like n man with an ornamental case of
jim-jams.
The parcel consisted of a live and
lively snake done up In wrapping paper.
When the package struck the floor the
snake tumbled out Barnum's whole
menagerie could not have created one
half the surprise that this well behayed
and harmles reptile did. 1t was treasure
troVe that even an L guard didn't
care to monkey with. The snake was
coaXed into a bucket n imprisoned
there. while man. unfeeling remarks
were made about the man who left the
ophidian In the car.
The incident goes to show that when
n person buys a ticket for an L" ride
he doesn't know what n~elghbors he is
going to be mixed up with on the Jour
ney. He may sit next to a woman with
a raw chameleon crawling all over her
clothes or the adjoining seat may be
occupied by n man with several bottles
OF cholera or yellow fever bacilluses Of
various ages and sizes In his inside
pockets. The lady with a fragrant dog
or a concert-voiced cat In a basket Is
met every day in the cars, and we don't
mind her so much; but when II comes TO

s%trictor lone up in MANILA paper or a

much worried about the matter II they
were sure the snakes and i%chthyosau-
ruses they encountered were the real

MONUMENTS NOT OBSTACLES
Mr.. Lauterbach Would Simply

Lawyer edward Lauterbach, whose
"ready-money" proposition made to the
Rapid Transit Commissioners yesterday
to take up Mr.. Bushes elevated railroad
scheme OF rapid transit and push It to
n successful conclusion. almost took
away their breath, seems fully salts
fed that the offer will be accepted. TO
his mind there are no difficulties what
ever in the way. If there are any he
thinks they will prove 30 slight that
they can easily be disposed OF.
II do not think there is much more
to be said about IT," he said to an Even
Ing World' reporter his morning.
" The Evening World had the facts of
our sugg estion or proposition in Its extra

action the Commission will take"

The crowd was so great that he got

made II jump for the gate at the rear OF
the first car. He was thrown from his
feet, and disappeared In the opening be-
tween the car and the platform.
There was a cry OF horror from those
who Witnessed the accident, and no one
supposed that he would come out alive.
When the train stopped. they began
looking for his body, when a voice was
heard from under one Of the cars. call
ing out In an excited and angry tone:
Don't you dare to start this train till

Mr.. Smith was finally pulled out with

LinOleum Tiles.

A new English .inoleum is literally
laid like tiles, in small, separate pieces
on an india rubber solution, which not
only holds them fast. but also makes
them noiseless. The color is fast, goes
right through to the back, and con-
~sequently does not alter or fade before
the material is worn out. These tiles
can be laid on any kind Of floor what
ever, and the wornout places car be re-
paired at m time. An English ali-
thority on house furnishing n decora-
tion recommends a hin quality of limo
leum to be used as a dado for the wallis
In a kitchen. 1t should be glued clos,
to the wall, and may be finished at the
top with a plain moulding. 1t may then
be oiled or vanished or left in its natural
condition. as one chooses. 1t can be
washed as readily as a tile dado, II

I heartily agree with Mr.. Hilson's views on
manly women Their encroachment into mans
domain Is becoming intolerable. Take for in
stance. the profession OF nursing: women have
been and are. undertaking men and working for
less. until at present, the profession has almost
ceased to be profitable. There are more females
nursing male patients than there are males. a fact
that ought to bring the blush OF shame to any

does not restrain them from undertaking men
