HANDLING BOA CONSTRUCTORS.
The Trick By Which the Serpents Are
1fanaged without Danger.

The Trick b Which the SeFpents Are
afanassd without Danger.
Snake dealers in South America have
q fine contempt for their squirming and
venomous wares, though it is sometimes
difficult to induce ship captains to carry
them as freight. The snake dealers ham
die the boa constructor with great deft-
ness. This serpent bites, but his bite is
not venomous, so that the chief danger
to the handler is from the serpent's
enormously powerful Aluscles. The
dealers have learned that the boa, to be
really dangerous, must have fulcrum
i'll the shape Of something around which
he may coil his tail.
The boa is. in fact, a lever in which
the ordinary arrangement is power,
weight, fulcrum. Knowing this, the
dealers drop soft hat over his head,
tlat he may neither see nor bite, and
then snatch him SO suddenly from his
resting place that he has no opportunity
to brace himself by seizing a fixed OBJ
ject with his tail. After that the essen
t;al thing is to see that he is not brought
within distance Of any such object.
A snake dealer on a Brazilian steam
er the other day was occupied in trans
ferring his boas from one box to anoth-
or. He opened the box an instant, drop
ped hat over the head of one Of the
creatures, snatched it from it's fellows,
and rushing across the deck dropped it
into the other box. The thing looked so
easy that a deck hand, waiting until the
snake owners back was turned, essayed
to repeat the act. He neglected to use
TIC hat, ard with yell yaaked a great
snake from the box with its saw..ss S-ca .:-.ca
in his fingers Not daring to let go, yet
fearing TO hole on, he began whirling
the sisaEs about his head, meanwhile
dancing madly over the deck. The snake
man managed to capture the reptile and
box it in security. Then somebody ex.
pressed concern for the rash deck hand,
to which the snake owner answered:
"What, him? He's all right. Bat
think Of my snake! It's worth 20 OF that
mug !"-New York Sun.

STRAIN ON THE EYES.
Children at School Are Inclined to Have
'the Academy Headachc.''

Children at School Are Inclined to Havc
'the Academy Headachc.''
One of the common causes of pain
above the brows is the overuse of the
eyes and the strain of accommodation
in constantly looking at near objects.
In its transient form it may be famil-
lar to some as tho result Of a visit to
a picture gallery, but in more senses
than one this may be known as "the
academy headache, "for if it is temporal
rily developed in n morning spent at
Burlington House it is even more
readily excited and permanently estab-
ished among the children at the board
schools and the girlsof the high schools
Seventy-two per cent of the children OF
today are said to be sufferers from de-
fective eyesight, generally in the direc-
tion Of difficulty in seeing near objects
clearly. Headache is almost always pres
ent in the cases of the poor little crea-
lures, whose bodies are starved while
their minds are overfeE in the scramble
for educational grants.
The ocular headache is often cock
istent with the anamic headache, espe,
cially i'll growing girls. Here we find
frontal Or supraorbital pain, due to eye
strain, associated with the vertical pain
felt AZ over the top Of the head, whic!
is characteristic of bloodlessness. Plenty
Of wholesome food, fresh air and out o1
door exercise will help to combat the
nnHmia, while the practice Of looking
at distant objects, ,and, alas the use OF
appropriate spectacles may relieve the
headache of eyestrain, but reading,
writing and sewing will permanently
damage the sight, SO that for heHake
of'education and in the struggle for life
the coming race is growing up pufblind.

Tho Ball Noule.

According to Chief Bonner, the baN
nozzle which has excited so much inter-
est throughout the country is destined to
work radical and highly beneficial
change in the system Of fighting fire.
Instead Of working at distance with
straight streams, firemen, by using the
ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings
and work at close range, thus not only
doing more effective work, but averting
to considerable extent the serious dam
age to interior property, and in many
cases this system will enable fremen to
save the lives Of inmates Of burning
buildings. The man who has given the
world an appliance Of such value is GER
tainly entitled to the gratitude Of his

WHERE Is DAVID?
A Brooklyn Man Missing for
Fifteen Years.
When Last Heard From Less Than
TWO Years Ago He Was in an
Arizona Mining Town.

The following article from the New
York Recorder was received yesterday
from an agent of the United Press with
a request for its publication in the hope
that it may result in the restoration of
a long lost son to sorrowing mother.
Says The Recorder:
There is mother in Brooklyn who is
pining for her absent boy, and father
who is making every effort to get a
trace of the young man. For fifteen
years he has been leading rowing life,
and for two years they have heard
nothing of him. Joseph Swift and his
wife Mary, live at 80 Clinton avenue.
Mr.. Swift was for many years gunner
in the United States navy. He retired
about four years ago.
While Mr.. Swift was on duty in the
south as the war was closing, a baby
bov was born. He was serving under
Admiral Farragut and he named the
little stranger David Farragut Swift.
Young David grew up a sturdy,
handsome boy, with love OF music
and an adventurous spirit. At the age
of Is he left home and went west. He
tramped through every state in the
Union, keeping up correspondence
with his mother of whom he was very
fond. He became known in all the
mining camps as "Yorky Dave" a
clever, dancing, singing. merry fellow,
who could turn his hand to any
thing, bus could never keep the
money he earned. Several times
he started homewsrd, but he
never got further east than Chi
cago. There his money usually gave
out, and he turned his face toward the
Rockies again. Two years ago he
started west from the Windy City, with
a young fellow named Cassidy, whose
chum he had been for eight years.
Then his letters ceased, and his rela
tivee became anxious. His brother
made a search for him. He succeeded
in finding Cassidy in Omaha. Cassidy
said that Dave and he had gone to-
gether as far as Pueblo. Then they
separated. David was next heard of in
Bixby, (probably Bisbee) Arizona. The
postmaster there said he had been
working in the smelling works.
The brother of the missing man died
three months ago, and his mothers
anxiety for the safety of her truant son
increased. Mr.. Swift visited the
Brooklyn office of the recorder yester-
day.
1--WE are seeking for any information
of my son." he said. His mother is
nearly crazy to see him. He is 80 years
old, and if any one will take the trouble
to find him, we will cheerfully pay any
expense that may be incurred"
