Hair Ropes and Snakes.

There is common superstition
among western cowboys that a rattle
snake will not cross a hair rope" said
Superintendent Brown, of the Phila-
1elphia Geological Garden, the other
day. The cowboy don't mind a rattle
snake much, anyhow, but when he has
to spend the night in the open, he fire.
quently takes the precaution of encir-
cling his camp with a rope of this de-
scription, and then goes to sleep with
quiet mind. I often wondered if there
was any truth in this belief, but never
happened to have a hair rope and rat
tlesnake handy to test it, until one day
when a friend of mine came from the
West and we began talking on the SUBJ
ject. He had hair rope with him,
and we decided to try it on the snakes
in the reptile house. We shut the
building UP, made a circle with the
rope on the floor. and put seven differ
ent species of snakes inside of the rope
circle. Every single one erawled over it
as if it wasn't there and since then my
friend has lost faith in its protective
powers" An old camDaigner says to a
reporter for the Inter-Ocean that this
was a poor test "a hair lariat must be
made purposely for this use, and the
sharp projections of the butts Of the
hair be made prominent. A hair lariat
can be, and is, made as smooth as any
other lariat. They are strong, but use
less as a protector from snakes. l have
used one in places where snakes were SO
thick that half a dozen could be run
from under a single bush. and never
knew one to crawl over or inside of my
he'd"

it is in vain to contend against.
But the matter is somewhat
serious to the United States,
That country must be a great loser
through much OF its wealth crossing
the ocean. The United States will do
we'll to manufacture the coveted titles
at home. for it is a wo den nutmeg
that is easily bought. The existence
of titles, it is true, is not in ac-
cordance with the simplicity of
republican institutions, but in view of
the heavy drain this might be
overlooked and the parents of any
girl might be allowed to buy her
title, say for 500, 600 1000, 00O) The
public treasury would thus be filed
with dollars and the girl would
remain at nome. But there wou d
still be the difficulty of find

to becoming rich through their ladies
as the Brit sh no5lemen are in favor
of this mode of enrichment"

An Annual Drunk.

The oldest temperance society in the
world is the abstaining commune in
Achlyka. in Siberia, all of whose mem
bers are strict teetotalers every day in
the year except one. Regularly on the
first day of September, year after
year, all the adult members of the COM
mune assemble in the parish church
and every one takes 2 solemn vow be-
fore the altar to drink no wine, beer or
spirits from the morrow" OF the fol-
lowing day for the whole year. The
clause from the morrow" is intro
duced in order to give them a reward
for their virtue in the shape of whole
day Of drunken carnival. AS soon as
they leave the church they begin to in
dulge in q horrible bacchanaEan drink
ing, which continues throughout the
day until neither man nor woman in
the village is sober. This is naturally
followed by considerable physical SUI
fering and then mental renorse, where
upon the penitent parish enters upon
it's twelve-month OF model sobriety, and
all live like the Recha bites. Some stu
dents imagine that this queer proceed
ing may he prehistoric tribal custom.

Y yesterday for pub iicatson against Gen
eral Miles because the latter appears
in a New York paper of Sunday as
having said in an interview that he
had been informed by the President
that he was to be placed in command
of the army to succeed General Scho-
field. The secretary does not know
that General Niles has been correctly
quoted and represented, but he pro-
ceeds to Announce that General Miles
is a newspa .er soldier Then the
secretary proceeds to say that it lis
outrageous for Miles to talk as he
does"
Lamont intimated that the order
placing Miles at the head of the army
would have been issued by this time
had it not been for this newspaper
charge, and as it is he he may get a
private reprimand and possibly a rub
lie reprimand, and then the secretary
continues by observing: Possibly

matter over, will not want to leave
