Secrets of snake-charm,ng.

The secrets of snake-charming are
much simpler than most people i'm
agine. The snakes to be handled are
gorged with food until they become
drowsy, or else they are drugged so
that their senses are dazed Some
times they are kept in ice boxes and the
cold puts them in a semi-torpid condi-
ton. In either case the snakes are
only half alive. In handling the rep
tile the hand must always grasp it at
certain places where the head can be
guided and held from the body. This
is the hardest thing to learn, but, like
everything else, it comes with practice.
BY dint of dexterity and strength the
snake is easily passed from one hand to
the other and is allowed to coil about the
body. The snake-charmer, however,
must be on the alert. When the snake
becomes too lively, it is put back into
the ice box In handling a reptile
with the fangs in-which ought to be
prohibited by law-one requires great
strength, as the strain on the system
during the performance is very great
The grasp and movements must be pre-
else and accurate. There is no room
for hesitancy or uncertainty. Most of
the snakes handled, however, are harm
less so far as poisoning is concerned. -

A Resolution.

A subscriber sends the MIDLAND
JOURNAL the following resolution passed
by the Cecil Farmers Club, and wishes to
know if every dollar is not already equal
to every other dollar i'll its purchasing
power, and if so why the Club should pass
the resolution. The resolution reads:
''That it is the opinion of the Cecil
Farmer Club that the existing financial
condition of the business of the country
requires the immediate repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act and
in place therefor enact such legislation
as will secure for the country a gold dol
lar, silver dollar and greenback paper
dollar, all of equal and exchangeable
value.'
This action of the Club antedates the
repeal of the Sherman act. The first
question which the resolution suggests is,
that all the above named dollars being of
the same value, exchangeable for each
other and in purchasing power-and made
so by the laws of Congress, what possible
additional legislation could make them
any more so? All the members of the
Club must certainly have known this. If
not every storekeeper butcher and ped
dler in the country could have furnished
that information. And more than this,
for which there is a reasonable excuse
for not being generally known, these
dollars" are equal in purchasing value
i'll all the chief cities in Europe, Senator
Teller declared i'll the U. S. Senate and
no one contradicted him. John Sherman
was sitting listening to Teller and did not
deny the fact which is evidence that he
admitted it
In place of the repeal of the Sherman
act improving financial conditions, from
a farmers club standpoint, they have
continued to grow worse When this
resolution was being considered by the
Cecil Farmers Club wheat was selling at
the nearest railroad stations for 60 cents
bushel. Wheat is now selling for Sc
cents bushel at the same places. The
only way we can account to our cores
pondent for the Clubs action is that the
members referred the question to their
Secretary TO formulate a resolution and
report which he did, the Secretary being
engaged working i'll the gold-bug cause
to the best of his ability, and having read
i'll the shylock papers during the clap
trap campaign a jingle something like
this Every dollar being made as good
as every other dollar" would constitute
an honest dollar" concluded that would
please the club. Although the most
senseless balderdash ever uttered, the
words formed taking sound which the
Secretary concluded he wasn't able to
improve on, and although knowing it
lacked sense it sounded we'll, and would
answer. Why the Club endorsed the
stuff can only be surmised by inferring
that the members were more intent on
farming than financial systems, aud

The Courts will not, except in a clear case, de-
clare an act unconstitutional. But it seems to me
after careful inspection of the act under con-
sideration, that it is an act which is so clearly
within the prohibition of the constitution of such
public importance, and the evils which may result
from it of such an alarming character, that your
Honorable body, in your capacity as guardians of
the public money and the public interests, should
refuse to recognize it until the Courts shall have
declared its constitutionaity.

In justice to Cecil farmers Club, which
is body of representative farmers, with
one or two exceptions, and of fine intel
ligent gentlemen, this appears to be the
most reasonable answer to our cores
pondent's inquiries, and is no reflection
on the Club. But it does bring to view a
wi1ful neglect on the part Of farmers,
which is that of much needed information
on political questions.

He Is beginning with labor Saving and

the natty but not gaudy blue uniform
and was drenched with perspiration.
His efforts were directed towards pro-
pelling the curious concern pictured

an inference that the machine was in

who drove past.

first, that railroad companies should be
permitted to make pooling agreements
with each other, subject to the approval
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sioners. the withdrawal OF such APP
proval at any time to invaldate any
such contract; and second. the Inter
state Commerce law should be so
amended as to compel uniform clas-
sihcation of freights. and such classi-
fication should be just to the smaller
shippers.
A resolution was adopted setting forth
that the issuing of fire Insurance policies
by corporations OF unknown responsibility
whose offices are out Of the State. and
who can only do business here through
licensed brokers, which system is now In
vogue, Is working an Injury to the reg
ular stock companies and does not guar
antee the insured the fun benefits which
the law contemplates. The resolution
requested the Committee on Insurance to
inquire what legislation, IL any, was de-
sirable.
Gustave Schwab offered a resolution
urging Congress to amen the act re-
lating to the duties of the Supervisor
or the Harbor OF New York. which
shall render II unlawful for any per
son or persons to engage in dredging
for shellnsh, or fishing In any of the
channels leading to and from the har-
Dor OF New York. or to interfere in
any way with the safe navigation OF
those channels by ocean steamships
and ships OF deep drapght.
An adjournment was taken until Oc-
tober.
