SEALS ARE FOND OF MUSIC.
And Hunters Use Sweet Sounds to C.
 Them Within Reach

And Hunters Tse Sweet Sounds to Get
 Them Within Reach.
 Seals are very fond of music" said c. L. Tompkins of New Bedford. Mass. ''and the hunters who pursue them most successfully usually make use of some musical instrument to attract them. have distinct recollection of the first seal hunt I ever went on. Early one morning I, in company with about Q dozen others, set out in n rowboat for q spot where the seals were said to be plentiful. The boatmen dipped their oars slowly in the water and sung in unison n weird, wild song in peculiar undcrtone. To me, being uninitiated in the sport, this seemed to be a curious accompaniment to Il seal hunt, but was still more surprised when one of the men produced a flute and played on it a quaint, sympathetic air.
 The effect of the music was soon evi- dent, as dozens of seals pokcd their heads up, some remaining basking on the water, while others clambered up on the lodges of rock, charmed almost to unconsCiou>ncss by the music. Steering the boat to the shore. the musician all the while keeping up the plaintive air. one of the men jumped out. He carried with him huge club and long sharp knife. NoiselcSsly creeping to where somo of the seals were lying on tho rocks listening intently to the music. he dealt one of them a terrible blow on the head with the club, stunning il, and then made short work of the poor animal with his knife, In the same manner We secured II fine seals before night.

He then gave the signal to go ahead and proceeded across tho tracks of the Northeastern.
 The East Louisiana train, carrying ex cursionists to points in St Tammany parish, was booming along its tracks, and with a shrill shriek from its whistle for down brakes it crashed into the sixth coach of the Louisville and Nashville train. The collision threw a crowded coach completely into the ditch, while the attacking engine was derailed and buried its nose several feet In the soft mud.

 Juno 1, 1796, Tennessee was formally declared a state, and already prepara- tions are in rapid progress for a vast centennial display and exposition at Nashville, to last from Sept. 1 to Nov. I5, 1896. She was the third state ad- mitted after the federal constitution was adopted, and familiar as we are with the details of rapid growths in the new world it is hard to realize that there IS a commonwealth of some 1 900, 900 peo- ple in an area dominated by the fiercest Indians I2O years ago and magnificent city of 100, 900 people on the spot, where, according to Felix Grundy. the pioneers did not stand face to face when they met, but back to back, in never ceasing vigilance against the lurking foe.

A CUNNING REPTILE.
The Various Clever Devices He Used to Ds

The Various Clever Devices He Used to De-
 ceive His Discoyerer.
 A correspondent of The Popular Sci ence News tells the following strange story:
 While searching for snails turned over an old log and disturbed a snake, called by our negroes spreading ar- row." The tactics pursued by this snake were curious.
 First he erected his head and neck and fiattened them out till they seemed no thicker than cardboard, thus increas- ing his apparent size, as he took care not to be seen edgewise. The shape of his head changed It took pronounced triangular form-similar to the heads of our most venomous snakes. Then his tail, with the aid of Q dry leaf, was proclaiming that it was the tail of n rattlesnake.
 All this, coupled with an ominous hiss, was calculated to strike terror to the heart of his disturber, as for O mo- ment it did. l regained my courage, however, and began to poke the serpent gently with q stick, when, finding "bluster" of no avail, he sought safety III
 Repeated Headings off showed him how futile wern his efforts in that line, and he altered his tactics again. He turned on his back and remained mo- tionlcss. I threw him six feet from the ground, and so quickly did he turn over that he seemed to strike on his back.
 Once on his back, nothing could in- duce him to move. Tapping, prodding, twisting his tail-all were in vain Then 1 suspended him from the limb of q tree, retreated little and watched At the end of two minutes the reptile moved. Slowly he turned on his spinal column as on an axis, surveyed the premises, and seeing nothing dangerous dropped to the ground and was making off.
 At my approach he died again. After sundry proddings, which failed to move him, rewarded him for his cleverness by giving him the liberty that he cer- tainly had earned.
