SNAKE STALKING.
Pertlous Springtime Sport INDUCED
in by Men in Maryland.

From the New York Sun.
"They have novel and exciting spring
sport down in Anne Arundel county,
Maryland" said man from Baltimore.
ut is snake shooting. Long, long years ago,
the native sportsmen down there discov-
cred that in the spring of the year black
snakes, garter snakes and moccasins-and
Anne Arundel county seems to have
good many hundreds of these to the acre
are engaged in their little lovemaking
affairs. They hover together in dry
spots, and make such noise with their
kissing and wriggling that it is no trouble
to stalk them from a long distance away.
At the season named they are not only
bold and fearless, but they will not hes
itate to attack an intruder on their tryst-
ing places. The moccasin snake looks
dull and rusty on land, but his back
lights up into beautiful Kaleidoscope
markings when in the water The mecca
sin is the easiest snake to kill, they saw.
When the warm spring sun showers its
rays down on the pools in which the
moccasin lives and finds his prey he comes
to the surface and hangs on to iuttipg
bush or weed, or crawls out on the banks
and lies stretched on the grass or sand.
He is shy and will run quickly at an APP
proaoh, except at mating time, and then
he Will show you pretty fight. And YOU
hadn't better let him bite YOU. His bite
may not kill you, but it would be better if
a whole nest of hornets rested on YOU and
enjoyed themselves than that one little
water moccasin should touch you with his
fangs. But his cousin, the cottonmouth.
or stumptail moccasin, will bring your
last will and testament into service
nearly Surer than the cholera or yellow
fever. His poison tooth is as deadly as
the rattlesnake's, and when he hears YOU
coming he won't run away or warn YOU
like the rattlesnake but will lie still and
wait for you and plug venom into YOU if
he can. There is considerable vim in
stalking a stumptail moccasin when he is
absorbed in his lovemaking, and YOU
want to make sure of your shots when
you draw bead on him.
1.-THE proper and sportsmanlike way of
hunting snakes in Anne Arundel county
is to shoot them with a small rifle. and
the sportsman who doesn't bag his game
by shooting it in the head isn't looked no
to much. The man who would 90 out
after snakes with shotgun down there
would lose caste Immediately, and be
sadly talked about The favorite rife is
one OF % caliber, and twenty yards range
is the least an expert snake stalker asks.
A moccasin head can be. plainly seen at
that distance, and many shot among
the snake hunters doesn't brag any If
he doesn't knock eight heads off out of
ten at that distance

INFLUENCE OF IMAGINATION.
How a King Crowned in Fun Was
Driven Crazy Later On.

From the London Evening STANDARD.
A remarkable case of the influence of
imagination occurred about the latter
part of the last century in Dublin, con-
nected with the celebrated frolics of
Oakley island. Curran and his CAV COM
panioDs delighted to spend a day there,
and with them originated the idea of
electing King of Oakley and the ad-
jacent islands, and appointing a chan
celior and all the officers of state. A man
who was universally respected, and re-
markable alike for his kindly feeling and
conyivial spirit, was chosen to fill the
throne. He entered into the spirit of the
pastime with his whole heart and mind.
A journal was kept called the Oakley Ga
zette, in which all public proceedings
were reported, and it afforded great
amusement to its conductors.
But the mock pageantry and the pre-
tended homage of his supposed subjects
proved too much for king John.n F'ic-
tlon became reality with him, and he
fancied himself every inch king" His
friends and relations perceived with dis
may the strange delusion which nothing
could shake. He would converse on no
other subject than the kingdom of Dalkey
and its government, aud he could never
conceive himself Invested of his kingly
AOuOIo' Tue ldSG year anu q nan OF MS
life was spent in Swlfts hospital for
lunatics. To the very last he believed
himself king, and tears rolled down his
cheeks when he spoke of the crown he
was about to relinquish forever. The de-
fusion, though painful to his friends, was
far from being an unhappy one to its vic
tim, for his feelings were gratified while
thinking he was occupied with the good of
his fellow creatures.
IMAGINATION, which is remarkable for
its ungovernable influence, has many
vagaries, and terror is the best known.
Pascal had once been thrown down on a
bridge which had no parapet, and. his
imagination was so haunted by it ever
afterward that he always fancied himself
on the brink of a precipice, overganging
an abyss ready to swallow him up. This
fancy obtained such complete possession
of his mind that the friends who came to
see him used TO place their chairs be-
tween him and the fancied danger III

TO people who can afford to spend the
money-lies in the collection of orchids
owned by Miss Gould and in the floral
decoration of the grounds.
MIR. Gould left his daughter 8, 900 a
month for the maintenance Of Lyndhurst
SO That II should be family home. And
MISS Gould religiously spends the money
upon it. OF course, il is not possible to
use up so large as sum, so Lyndhurst
constantly receives acquisitions that add
to its value. Now it is a $1,000 orchid,
and now fern valued at 81 900. Or it is
pond of fish, each of which costs $3.50,
and having LOCO by actual count.
In Miss Gould's boudoir hangs a crystal
which cost her father $1,000 and which is
suspended from the chandelier as if it
were one of the mystic globes into which
Iheosophists gaze for an hour each day
studying the past cons. 1t is said that
this quaint conceit occurred to Miss Gould
when she saw the crystal upon one of her
trips abroad, and her father, delighted to
spend money upon her, humored it.
quite recently Miss Gould had bowl
ing alley built near the mansion. The
bowling alley cost $4,000 The first
toor is series of Japanese recep-
ton rooms, while upstairs there
is an open pavilion supplied
with the means for lighting it by cleo
tricity at night, while on one of its long
extension roofs there is the finest roof
garden of the Hudson.
Not far from the Astor estate at Rhine
beck is Ellerslie, the home of ex-Vice
President Morton. But the figures about
Ellerslle are much harder to get accu-
rately than are the others.
Mr.. Morton has the greatest, the finest
and the rarest herd of cattle in the world.
They number thousands and are so rare
that none ever sell under 81, 900, For the
most part they are not sold. but go on in
creasing, supplying butter and cheese for
the great cities, perhaps, or merely stock
ing the great hillsides of Ellerslie. MIR.
Morton, now an old man, loves to sit by
the windows of his home and gaze upon
their graceful forms. =. -.
Some of the great expenditures indoors
may be mentioned in the portrait gallery
collection. There are pictures by almost
every great artist in the world. and near

curious old books to be collected.
The walls of the rooms deeoted to Mr..

Inc value of Ellerslie "just as it

many cannot be estimated, for Mr.. Nor
toms wealth is so enormous and his idea
of proper expenditure so immense.
