MIX Giving Male Animals.

Dr. c. Hart Merriam. chief Of the
division Of orn thology and mann
malogy in connection with the axri-
cultural department at Washington,
once made some interesting observa-
tions on the milk-giving faculty OF
the males of Western species of
rabbit called Baird's hare. TIE
publication of these odd facts revived
an old account of a he goat which
regularly gave milk. According to
the famed St. Francis Xavier, in the
year l548, in the islam Of Am boya. he
found "a he goat giving suck to his
young kids with his own milk. He
had one breast which gave every day
rs much milk as would fill a basin
(size of basin not mentio ed }. "
This" the sanity Jesuit wrote, Il
saw with my own eyes"

a Pennsylvania Has . Peculiar In
sAnenco Over Snakes
Pennsylvania has a snake charmer.
who exercises q marvellous power over
reptiles He is Joseph Wood. Of
Carversville. Just how he hypnotizea
the repulsive creatures is a mystery
known only to himself. Wood has
but to look at a snake and the crea-
ture instantly becomes a plaything in
his hands
While working about the fields
Wood always keeps his eye open for
the crawlers. He does not 60 throu III
any specs al performance. but fixing
his magnetic optic upon the rept 1e
deliberately walks mp and collars it.
One day he captured an enormous
blacksnalxe. The reptile, measuring
over four feet in length, was large
enough to choke a man to death
Wood wound it up in a snug coil and
placed it in his trousers pocket. That
evening he took it to Pickering &
Walton's store. in Carversville. When
Wood entered the store the usual as
semblage of villagers had gathered.
Grasping the snake at about the
middle Of its body, Woo. pulled It
from his pocket The reptiles head
darted to and fro as it writhed in the
charmer's hands. The crowd scat
tered, leaping over tables and chairs
After amusing himself in this way
for a time, at the solicitation of a
nervous friend Wood whirled the
snake over his head like cart whip,
cracking it like lash, the snakes
head flying off as neatly as though il
had ben severed with \ knife.

quest of the state department Secre-
tary Herbert has directed Captain
Coffin of the cruiser Charleston, now
at the Mare Islanl navy yard, to make
preparations for sailing. AS soon as
the ship is really for sea she will

protecting the interests Of Americans
in China and Japan during the war
between those two countries With

WILL SURELY Be law
There is No Doubt About the
Tariff Bill Becoming a Law.
The President is Being Urge |
TO Sign It
He MAY DO 1T.
General Opinion il He Will Let
the Time Expire However.

WAsHrxerov, Aug 15.-The tariff
bill Is expected to reach the president
some time to-day after which he Will
have q week from next Monday, An
gust %, if he desires L, in which to
consider il before returning IL to the
senate It can be stated almost
with absolute certainty that
the bill will become a law,
either by the presidents signature or
by his returning it in ten lays with
out action. the presumption being
largely in favor of the latter alterna-
tive. The president has repeatedly
stated to friends that he could not
sign the bill. but during the day
many Of his closest personal friends
have urged him to sign the bill with
out delay. Several reasons were
urged, among them the fact that the
opening Of fall trade was close at
hand and that a delay Of ten days
might result in serious loss of customs
revenues
Another reason stated was that
congress was extremely anxious to
adjourn. With the exception of two
months, the mem ber5 have been in
constant ate ndance for over a year,
aud it was represented that now that
their work was practically accom-
plished. il would Be hardly fair to COM
pei them to remain here in idleness
when no positive good could be ac-
c0mplished thereby. He was advised
e. forego his scruples in the matter,
sign the bill and return it with a mes
sage which would leave no room for
doubt as to his views thereon
lit is estimated that during the next
ten days the receipts from internal
revenue win probably amount to be-
tween $40. 900. O0O and S15 600 900. and
the government will lose the increased
whisky tax to this extent In view OF
the depleted condition of the treas
urv this argument viii probably have
weight with the president It il
known, though. that up to this time
the president has not changed his de-
termination to permit the bill to be-
come law by retaining it the neces-
earY ten DAYS without action.
