REPTILlAN GRATITUDE.

A nnAks xhNs Belisvad That One Coed
1uxn Deserves Another.
A professor Of entomology IN the
state university was searching the
Berlxaley hills for rare insects when he
heard the hlood.curdling rattle Of
snake and found big diamond backed
pinioned beneath large stone. He
got q stick to kill the snake, says q
veracinus Californian, and then decided
to rsleaae It first to see what It would
do. He approached cautiously, and
the snake watched him closely, but
manifested no hostility. He rolled the
stone OF it, and instead Of coiling and
stirling ut him, rs he expected, it
stretched itself, twisted Its tail few
times and crawled slowly toward him.
He put out the stick he carried, but the
snake rubbed against II and twisted
around it tenderly. The professor de-
cided not to kill 1t, and started on up
the trail. He was surprised to see the
snake following along, and when he
stuck one of his heavy cowhide boots
out it rubbed gently against it After
considerable trouble he gave the snake
the slip and returned with his bugs.
The next year the professor was
up on the hills after some more speci-
mems when he heard q great rattling,
and just ahead Of him in the trail he
saw big rattler. 1t was not coiled
and evidently was not angry, He
looked at it closely and noticed scar
on its back. Then he counted its rat
ties and decided that it was the snake
he had rescued the year before. 1t
seemed overjoyed to see him and
wagged its tail like 3 dog, making
terrific rsttling. The snake followed
the professor about so closely that he
could not get rid of 1t, and 1t became q
pet in his bachelor apartments. 1t
used to coil itself at the foot Of his bed
and sleep there.
The professors friends warned him
that the snake would kill him or some
one else, but he had every confidence
in 1t. One night he heard terrible
racket downstairs in the dining-room.
BE struck light and his pet was miss
ing. Then he ran downstairs and
found the snake in the dining-room
coiled around burglar. 1t was hold.

POWER or A PIANIST.

Psuads Of Strength Expended In Striking
= Note Heavily.
Itrequires more force to sound note
gently on piano than to lift the lid of
kettle. A German composer has fig
ured that the minimum pressure Of the
finger playing pianissimo is equal to
one hundred and ten grams-a quarter
Of pound. Few kettle lids weigh
more thaA two ounces, says the Musical
Courier.
The Germans calculations are easy
to verify If one takes q small handful
Of coins and piles them on key Of the
piano. When sufficient quantity is
piled ON to make note sound they may
then be weighed and these figures will
be found to be true.

q force of six pounds is thrown upon q

completion. Ii is the first opportunity the
Republicans OF this state ever had for the

the occasion. The parade will, of course,

from Newport, Covington, Cincinnati,
Louisville and other cities. including the

of the IsraeIifes.

New York. Dec. Sat a meeting today
OF Lodge 81. OF the Independent Order
Free Sons OF Israel, Julius hamburger. the
grand master of the order. made an address
in which he referred TO the visit of Herr
Ahlwardt. the German anti-Semitic agitat-
or. TO this country. He said, among other
things:
When the n. +. a. question was mooted
In this country and the reviyication of
Know Nothingism became rampant, the
true Americanism of the people asserted
Itself, and press. pulpit and orators mould
ed public opinion and relegated these per
nicious doctrines to oblivion. Whenever
and wherever individuals have

ca IL has failed in a most ignom.n!ous man
ner. The visit of DR.. Ahlwardt TO our hos
pitaoie shores to engender and i~nculcate
anti-Semitic doctrines will fail at the out
set. This fanatic, bigot and alien, imbued
with hatred for the Israelite from his
childhood, sets up a gospel Of his own 10
preach on American soil, which is in con-
trad.ction 10 the fundamental principles
of our great. free and most liberal govern
ment. The Jewish people need no defend

Jects since the evolutionary days, as loyal
and patriotic American citizens. have been
testified TO by Washington and by all the
statesmen OF the various generations IN
the land. Any individual who does not re-
spect the religion of other creeds. and who
is vituperative in his language towards a
people who have been prosecuted for CEN
turtles, driven from country TO country, I'M
til they have found a home in the greatest
republic on earth. is as cowardly a wretch
as was ever born. and should be incarcer-
ated in an asylum for lunatics.
In every state IN our Union followers OF
our faith and belief at all times have been
honored and respected by elective posi-
tons and by appointments. Mayor Strong,
good and practical American as he is, has,
in his appointments. honored the great
Jewish American of this city by selecting
three gentlemen of that creed for high and
responsible positions-gentlemen whose aim
and desire IL Is TO be fearless, honest and
Independent. and who Will never sully the
reputation of the mayors administration.
Seldom have any of our Hebrew-American
citizens betrayed any of the public trusts
reposed in them. We have not heard Of
any anti-Semitic sentiments in our repub-
lie, and We believe in the great American
doctrine OF free speech. but We do. how
