In the month of July some four or FIVE years
ago was out shooting florican with friend
of mine in Cuzerat We had had fairly good
luck and as we were making our way to the
railway station to catch the early train back
to Ahmedabad / noticed my friend. who was
shooting in line on my left, suddenly point
his gun at something on the ground and fire,
and on asking what it was, he said it was a
large black cobra, and that he had shot it in
two pieces. the head portion disappearing
down a hole. As we were in a hurry to catch
the train we went on, but very soon we heard
one Of the beaters calling out, and looking
back saw him running toward US with the
head portion of the snake following him with
the hood expanded. 1t appeared that he
had remained behind trying to dig out the
cobra. and the result was that it came out of
the hole and went for him. OF course the
snake could not get much pace on and was
quickly killed. Journal of the Bombay Natu-

Nj. Barthelemy Saint Hilaire, the famous
French scholar and politician, who recently
entered on his ninetieth year full of intelec-

inevitable interviewer how it is his days are
so long in the land.

to rise" with steady work during waking
hours. Every grand old man seems TO have
a secret of his own. Mr.. Gladstone attributes
his longevity TO to his habit of taking a daily
walk n all weathers and TO his giving thirty
two bites 10 every morsel of food.
Oliver Wendell Holmes pinned his faith on
equabiliry of temperature. The late Major
Kr0x Holmes swore by the tricycle., which in
the end was the cause of his death.
Some aged persons give the-credt of1their
long lives TO abstinence from tobacco, alcohol
or meat; others to their indulgence in These

4 Hungarian paper says that Francis Deak,
the Hungarian statesman used TO get rid of
troublesome visitors by telling them the fol-
lowing story: "once, when in Paris, Ma
poleon paid a visit to a hospital for old
soldiers. Here he perceived among the rest
a man who had lost one of his arms aud he
entered into conversation with him. Where
did you lose your aetn?' asked the Emperor.
AT Austelitz, your majesty. Then, no
doubt, you curse the Emperor and your coun-
Try every time you look at your mutilated
limbY No. indeed protested the veteran,
'for the Emperor and my native land / would
readily sacrifice my other arm. if needs be-
L can hardly believe that the Emperor
quietly remarked and passed on
But the soldier, anxious TO prove that he
was In earnest, Immediately drew saber
from its sheath and Topped off his other arm. -
Here Deak would pause and fix a penetrat-
ing look on bis visitor. ''Well, what have
you to say or such man and such an
action?''
"A most sublime act OF self-sacrficeI A
truly noble character" This was the style
of reply invariably given.

gravely add.

Overland Travels of Maine Trout.

Capt. Barker has built a nice camp, with a
good cellar. near his hatchery at Bemis,
which overlooks the spring, and has u man
on guard night and day. He also has num-
ber of traps set in the stream and on the
banks. In one the other night he caught
monster owl.
In constructing his hatchery he excavated
aplace about twenty feet square in the bank,
where he found a large boiling spring which
is connected with the original spawning
ground. The trout have gone over the old bed
into the house, where they are clearing OF
the ground, and seem to prefer it to the open
water. ss
The captain says that front will go over
dry land to get to their spawning ground
The above statement is based on facts. as he
and several OF his workmen a few days ago
saw a trout come upstream to where it was
filled with leaves. The trout rested mo-
ment or two, then started overland some
three or four feet 10 open WAFER. One of the
men remarked that all that was needed for
a trout to reach the hatchery was to have a
road swamped for them.-Phillips Phono-

Lady Editors scoop.

Lady Colin Campbell has succeeded in
passing all the other papers in London by Sc
curing as contributor to her new paper, the
Realm, the Sultan of Turkey. All the other pa
pers are pitching into the Realm In very vig-
orous fashion for using the Sultan as an adver-
tisement, but the ring of jealousy is evident
everywhere. The Sultan did not actually
write the article himself. as he is not a facile
penman, according to the gossips, but he die
tated it to one OF his ministers. and then COR
rected it. The enterprise of the Realm in
securing the article is looked upon as mark
ing an epoch in British journalism, and as
beating the American papers in their own
Geld. The Sultan did not say anything of
any particular consequence in his article, but
that aspect of the question is not looked upon
as worthy Of discussion.
