SNAKES ARE TOOLS or TRADE.
A Recent Federal Decision in New York So
settled "a Case.

Snakes are implements and tools of
trade" under certain conditions. This i'm
portant fact has Just been settled with due
judicial soemuity in the suit of Miss jean
ME MaGnon against the board of general
appraisers. Miss Magnon is a snake charm
er. She came to this country on the steam
ship Bohemian on March 30. 1894. and
brought tweuty-eiEht trained snakes with
her, which she intended TO Use during her
engagement at HaCenbeck's exhibition
The collector of customs decided that the
twenty-eight snakes were subject 10 duty
as animals and Miss Magnon appealed to
the board of appraisers, which sustained
the decision of the collector. Miss Magnon
err in the United states circuit court of
appeals, handed down n decision reversing
the hoard of appraisers opinion and sus-
tanning the plaintiff. ''rhe importer in this
case" says the Judge, "is a snake charmer
and imported twenty-cight snakes In her
actual possession and used by her IN ex-
hibtions of her skill in that profession and
which are not for sale. duty was as
sessed upon them as animals. She claimed
they were free under paragraph 6S6 of the
tariff act OF 1880, which exempts implements
ana tools OF trade, occupation or employ
ment, These snakes are clearly instru-
ments within the meaning OF the law. They
are instruments with which she practices
her profession, and are her professional
instruments. AS such she seems to have
been entitled to have them come with her
duty free"

Muslc In The HOME.
rfrs. y. N. Harris Reads an Interesting Pa
per Before the Mothers and Kim
dergartncr's Union.

Mrs j. II Harris. the president of the
Euterpe Society, read very charming
paper entitled Music in the Home at the
weekly meeting of the Mothers and Kin
dergartners' Union. held yesterday after
noon at the high school. She began her
paper by say ing that music should be cul-
tvated in the home not merely as an ac-
compl!shment, but as a necessity. Every
child she said should be taught music,
because II affotds healthy outlet for the
emotions. and because, in after life, the
knowledge of IL is a pleasure and COM
fort, Mrs. Harr then spoke OF the strange
and beautiful manner in which music al
fects the memory. 1t exerts more influence
over the senses than flowers or pictures.
Mrs. Harris said that she believes that
men are much more powerfully affected by
cited as an example of this an incident
which came under her own observation.
An old Scotchman happened to be IN the
one sunday when Mrs Harris was in the
ehotf. During the service she sang the
hymn. Jesus. Lover of My Soul" to the
old Scotch air. Bonnie Charlie" After the
with streaming eyes told her that, though
he had not heard the air In years, he re-
membered that his mother was accustomed
to sing 1t when he was a little boy at
home.
Mrs Harris laid great stress on the fact
that music should be taught very generally
In the public schools. because by that
means the children. many of them, carry
music into homes where mothers never
sing. She spoke a good word for hand or
gans, which. she said. are very often the
also urged the cultivation OF singing in
low tones, as being much more expressive
and pleasing.
The subject was discussed by Mrs. j. c.
sey. Mrs. David Benjamin. Mrs. clayton
Bell. Mrs. Sarah Il. Mott and others.

CALIFORNIA'S WINE CROP.
1t Is Small This Season and Not of Extra
Qualify.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The wine crop this season will he small,
and, generally speaking, inferior in quail
ity to that of last year.
- The crop of the state is estimated at
are dry and 2,5oO,OOO sweet. Drouth and
periods of great heat are responsible for
this condition of affairs. The amount of
grapes fell below the normal. and, as a
rule. the dry wine made previous TO the
first rain in october fermented badly. Aft
er the downpour and the swelling of the
berries the fermentation was perfect.
The result Is that about One-third of the
win, of 1891 is only medium. while the
other two-thirds is good, but not up to the
standard of 1898; Sweet wines, however,
are in good condition.
Last years crop in first hands was esti-
mated at the opening of the vintage at
100000 gallons, but since then heavy pur-
chases have been made. so that IL is now
believed the stock Is reduced TO about
:, 600 900 gallons.

SECRETARY MORTON SATISFIED.


j Sterling Morton. secretary of agri-
culture, spent yesterday in the city look
ing after some matters connected with
the live stock interests and slaughter of
stock at this point. During the day he
visited the stock yards, the different
packing houses and the inspection de-
partment and made some personal in
spection concerning the manner in which
the work is done. Just what his impress
sions were of the situation We're not
made public. He did not have the time
to make as thorough an examination as
he desired to make in order to be in a
position to know personally just what
the state of affairs here really is. He
may return later and complete the eX-
animation lie has been at other places
and has examined the work of the in
spectors ard feels that the charges that
the examinations We're not carefully
made are entirely without foundation.
He left last evening for Chicago on his
way home.
