The CAT AND THE KING.

No TRIMMING of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach snake to do
anything whatever. Their brain power is
SO limited that the marvel Is how they
have ever managed TO survive in the great
competition, especially when one finds that
they arc still on the Ascending curve" OF
evolution. Most of them can be tanned TO
some extent by constant human compan-
ionship and judicious handling (some spe-
cies very much more readily than others).
When they have learned to trust, to appre-
ciate the fact that there is no necessity for
self defense, then they may be trusted a
principle which applies TO most animals,
and there the scope and possibility of their
education comes to AN end.
After that the most that skillful ex-
hibitor can do with them is TO adapt him
self and his actions to their movements,
which by familiarity he can pretty nearly
anticipate, so that these may appear pur.
posivc and intelligent. He may affect to
listen TO tho serpcnt's counsols, or receive
its kiss on his lips II its head inclines IN
an upward direction, or TO lure IL from one
hand to the other, or TO guide IL TO some
given spot, should il by chance glide hori
zontally or downward, just as the Indiar

Bonaparte's Gentier Side.

These purposes made Bonaparte at once
the most gentle and conciliatory OF men In
some directions; in Others they developed
and hardened his imperiousness. His cor
respondence mirrors both his mildnoss and
his arbitrariness. Every letter To the di-
rcctory abounds In praise of his officers
and men. accompanied by demands for the
promotion ot those who had performed dis
tinpuished services. Writing TO General
Clarke on Nov. 10 1896, from Verona, he
saws. in words full of pathos Your ncph-
ew Elliot was killed on tho battlefield OF
Arcole. This youth had made himself IA
milinr with arms. Several times he had
marched at tho head OF columns. lie
would one day have been an estimable OIL
Ger. He died with glory in the face OF the
foe; he did not suffer for q moment. What
reasonable man would not envy such

way a world so often WORTH Of contemptr
What one of us has not tyiundrcd times
regretted that he could not thus be with
drawn from tho powerful effects OF calum-
ny, of envy and of oil the hateful passions
that seem almost entirely TO control hui

Perhaps these few words TO the widow
of one OF his late generals arc even finer
"Muiron died at my side on tho battlefield
OF Arcole. You have lost husband that
was dear 70 you; !, friend 20 whom
have long been attached, but the country
loses more than Va both in the death of an
officer distinguished no less by his talents
than by his rare courage. IL can be OF

That was all, but IL was enough. With

EGAN CAUGHT.
NIcDermott Was With Him But Got
Safely Away.

The men who broke out OF the Howard
Insane Asylum about 2 a. m. today, were
located this morning and one captured.
All the morning search, parties were
securing Pawtuxet Valley. Finally, just
before noon, according to l.. ID. Pierce,
who was there, Nurses Camp
bell and Thompson of the
institution, together with q large crowd
OF citizens, came upon the lunatics in a
swamp along the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad tracks just over the
line in Warwick. The fellows looked
pretty tough, their faces, legs and feet
being badly cut and bleeding. Camp
bell grspplsd with Egau and held
him. Thompson tried to get McDermott,
but he is a powerful six-footer and broke
away. He ran through bull briers, and
his pursuers could see the blood trickling
down his legs with every fresh cut at every
step. He was soon lost TO view in a
swamp down the valley, filled with dense
underb brush and swamp bushes, making
an excellent hiding place.
Egan was taken to Norwood and locked
into a freight car where no frothed
at the mouth and showed other signs oi
insanity. He could not talk intelligently
McDermott's capture is probably mat
ter OF few hours only.

DEFENDERS BLOCKS.
They Will be Beauties, Very Light and
the Best Coleman Can Make.

While Defender will have the finest
suit OF blocks that science and money can
obtain there will be nothing
so extraordinary about them as
some newspapers seem to think.
The main point about them is the combi-
nation of great strength and lightness.
and this is characteristic of all
Coleman blocks OF this class.
The shells are of selected white ash,
riveted and cross bolted with brass screw
wire, which gives them far more strength
than the old method of riveting as en-
ployed by the other block makers. The
straps will be of galvanized steel, and the
sheaves bronze.
The firm of Walter Coleman g. Sons,
the Providence concern that is building
the blocks, has been in the block making
business on South Water street since 1778,
and as the business descended from one
generation to another IL has always kept
In advance of all its competitors ip
improving machinery and methods, till
now the Coleman blocks are noted all
over the world as the best that can bo
made.
Defenders suit consists OF n
little more than hundred
blocks the largest being the ten-inch,
which will be tested for strain of 2S
ions.
Although IL is true that they will weig h
several tons less than suit OF old-fash-
ioned bloc 'Ss, the Colemans say they are
not very different from the regular Cole
man yacht blocks.

The Wool Market.

The market has continued quiet the past
wee k, although some houses report trifle
more OF activity than during the previous
week. But as whole trade has ruled
draggy, with prices in favor of the buyer.
In some cases concessions have boen made
in order to move woods. Some
fleeces which have been on the
market for some time have been un-
loaded, and the prices at which they were
taken are the lowest on record. Good xx
has been sold and freely offered at 16c.,
Michigan x at lie. and Michigan delaine
at 16c. And yet, in the face OF these
actual sales, reports CONTINUE to be re-
ceived from the interior OF high prices
being paid for woods. which, II correct,
would render it impossible for the pur-
chasers to escape loss, IL they were to
resell on this market.
Manufacturers, however, are buying
woods only as they need them. What
ever may be their belief in tho ultimate
values OF wool, they evidently do not
feel that there Is going to be any advance
Immediately, and with the large offerings
at the London sales which they can draw
upon and the new clip OF domestic wool
