THE SEcREI AIRY BIRD.
The CeoI Manner In which 1t Kills a Snake.
Its Natural Prey.

Its Natural Prey.
As soon as the secretary bird, or
snake eater. of South Africa discovers
a snake, IL sc:Tances toward il without
hurry and without hesitation, and when
within striking distance ii Immediately
elevates its crest and the feathers of the
neck, and without losing any time de-
Gvers blow with its foot. IF the snake
has avoided the blow and attempts TO
strike back, the bird interposes wing.
thus receiving the deadly fangs harm
lessly upon the long feathers and i'm
mediately strikes again.
The fight is then virtually over, for
if the secretary gets in a single blow
the snakes back is broken, and the bird,
iightninglike, plants its foot firmly on
the reptiles neck and head pressing
them into the ground, while it delivers
the coup de grace with its beak, and
then deliberately swallows the snake
whole, beginning at the tail, and just
before the head disappears, giving It an
enthusiastic parting rap on the ground.
But there is nothing refined about the
secretary birds appetite. for one writer
says he found inside one three serpents
las long as his arm. IL lizards :
inches long, 81 tortoise about ? inches
in diameter. besides large quantity
Of grasshoppers and OF er insects, J" or
in other words, ~ ct of snake, 6ls
of lizard, 81 I, of torto' e and say yard
Of miscellaneous trif ;!
The secretary bird Is protected by the
cape authoraies FOR le immense public
benefit it confers ! eating poisonous
snakes, and pen lty is attached by
law to its oestruct IN. And If 1t were
necessary hurdr Is of eyewitnesses
could be called t. prove its right to the
title of serpentarus. Curiously enough,
too, this bird may be trained, and is
trained, to protect poultry yards. not
only from snakes, which are too fond of
eggs. but from other birds of prey.-St.

CHICAGO. March 26.-The troubles be-
tween the Atchison and the Northwestern
and Union Pacific are now in q better way
to be settled than at any time during the
last week. However, it is not by any
means certain that an adjustment will be
reached. The visit Saturday of Third Vice
President Newman. of the orthwestern.
to Passenger Traffic Manager White. ofthe
Atchison. bore fruit today in an extended
conference between these two officials and
General Passenger Agent Lomax, of the
Union Pacific, who has been hastily sum
moned from Omaha. Nothing definite
was arranged after a meeting which lasted
all day. but the prospects for restoration
of rates between Chicago and the Missouri
river and Chicago and California were
pronounced brighter.

Precept versus Practice.

1t is very easy thing to give pre-
cept, but when it comes to practice the
same, it is quite another thing. So the
democratic party seem to find it. Previ
Gus to the election of 1891, the democratic
party were loud in their clamor against
class legislation, but since they have
come into power, they have apparently
turned right around, and one of their
first acts Savors strongly of the ObnOx-
iOus class legislation. refer to the in
come tax bill that is now in the hands
of the ways and means committee.
This act or bill is worthy only of some
despOtic monarchial government, where
the people have no voice in making the
laws that govern them, where one man
holds absolute power over the lives and
liberties of the people. In short it is a
most undemocratic act, and if it should
become law, the people it is meant to
reach will practice all kinds of decep-
ton to get rid of paying the obnoxious
tax; and who can blame them? Why
should they pay tax from which their
neighbors are exempt? 1t is an act
that will please a certain class, because
only the rich are to be taxed, but anyone
that will give the matter second
thought will find that it is unjust, and
that one class should not be taxed to
benefit the other, to do so is to violate
the first principle of democracy.

Dreamland Wanderings.

Being one who dreams great deal,
l shall venture to say that dreaming is
condition in which there is much yet to
be accounted for. Dreaming, apart from
it's pathological aspect, is subject of
perennial interest. So mysterious and
so apart from our conscious selves are
the workings Of the brain during sleep,
that our curiosity is constantly pro-
yoked and we are at loss to determine
the cause of our dreams. No salts
factory explanation can be brought
forward in reply, and we can we'll un-
derstand the belief of the ancients, that
dreams were Occasioned by some super
natural intervention. 'To the normal
waking intellect, sleep-land must ever
remain a foreign and unknown cOun-
try" says DIR. Louis Robinson, in the
North American Review; 'the laws
and customs are utterly different from
those by which the waking mind lives
and moves, and even the stable verltles
of space and time are turned topsy-
turvy. To be in TWO places at once, is as
much matter of course to the dreamer,
as it was to Sir Boyle Roche's immor-
tai bird. While two or more char
acters can, with the greatest ease,
be merged into one, like the faces in a
composite photograph. A month may
be merged into moment, and yet have
plenty of room in which to stretch out
its weeks and days. Events occurring
at one spot, may, without the least break
of continuity, be transferred to the an
tipodes, and the fitting is of such a
commonplace character, that no one
raises an eyebrow. 1t is land which
