Mr.. Montgomery told the News man
that next to dogs snakes were most
easily affected by musical sounds. He
could readily believe the stories which
came from India of the use which the
fakirs make of their knowledge of this
fact He had himself experimental
with snakes, but under circumstances
that did not afford the best test. The
common black snake, he said, could
be quite easily charmed, especially
when it is young. But snakes are not
attracted by every musical note. There
are some strains that catch them
sooner than others. He had not
studied the subject sufficiently to say
where they drew the line. AS usual

Tragedy OF the Black Swamp.

Three and half miles west of Aldie,
Loudoun County, Va, is the locally
famous "black swamp" and strange
story has been current thereabouts for
the better part of this century. Jesse
McVeigh lived long ago in an old stone
house on the edge of the swamp, and
there came to him once n stranger
asking shelter. The stranger was taken
in and he lived there for five years.
He never went beyond the pond for
exercise, and he took elaborate pre-
cautions Mt night to guard against sur
prise. When he died stranger from
n neighboring village came and claimed
the body, protesting to recognize the
dead man MS an acquaintance. The
stranger who claimed the body was
the dead mans son, and he afterwar
became Chief Justice of the United
States Su oreme Court. The father. a
wealthy and well educated MaryIander,
but man of ungovernable temper,
had slain a Gues at h:s own table by
breaking his shidl with decanter.
The. homicide's place of hiding was
hardly more than fifty miles from The
scene of his crime, Chicago Herald.

A Famous Clinic.

Perhaps the most famous clinic in
the world was the late DR.. Theodore
Billroth in the University of Vienna.
To it came students from every civil
lied land to learn the methods and
listen to the teachings of the great
professor.
The discipline in his clinic was that
of an army, the result, possibly, of his
long military service. A martinez,
of few words, cold in manner, though
sympathetic and tender with mis-
patients, he gave himself little concern
as to details, exacting from every one
of his ten assistants the perfect per-
formance of the duties assigned to him,
seldom troubling himself to bestow a
word of praise, while rebuke from
him, usually couched in the words,
"But, Doctor" came to be considered
almost disgrace. In operating he
was cool and almost cold blooded,
swift, alert and dextcrous. His methods
were often unique, 50 much SO his
name occurs in modern works on sur
gerry continually, perfccting or i'm
proving some operations. His greatest
fame was reached in 1881, when hC
performed for the first time success
fully excision of the pyloric end of the
stomach for cancer. This achieve
ment made his reputation worldwide,
and easily placed him i'll a command
ing position as bold and successful
! operator. He soon came to be con
sidered the first surgeon in Europe,
and his clinic became renowned foi
the number and character of the opera
tions performed by him. Review o.
