Swapping Snakes.

A curious practice exists among
Bucks county farmer boys of killing
snakes by swapping off their heads
with a motion very similar to that
of a teamster cracking a whip. The
operation Is decidedly artistic and
requires quiokness, dexerity and
nerve for its successful accomplish
ment. The country boy who puts il
many hours between milking times
along the creeks has frequent
chances to practice the trick.
When a frightened snake glides
away from him into the grass or
makes for a hole in a pile Of stones,
the boy goes for it without hesita-
ton and without gloves. He seizes it
by the tail, six or eight inches from
the end, and, lifting it to the height
of his shoulder, reverses the motion
with a quick downward turn OF the
wrist. If properly done, the SER
pent's head flies off into the air, and
the lifeless body scarcely quivers as
the youngstec drops it to the ground.
To master this neat art of snake
execution u must dispel every par
ticle of aversion to handling them
before he begins. If picked up gin
gerly Or too neal the end of the tail,
the snake will: only be- thrown
through the air by the motion of
swapping, and maybe an inch of its
slender extremity will be left be-
tween the fingers. In that case it
escapes comparatively unhurt. But
if q firm grasp is taken several inch
es up the body, the backbone will
be broken and the head shattered,
even if not torn off. The knack of
completely cutting off the head only
comes with continued practice

century.

market reports, Local News, and matters Of
interest to Virginia, but more especially to
this city and section of Virginia.

mirror of passing events, and the careful
| chronicling of this history of what is going on
in the world, but more especially in this sec.
| ton. has ever been its aim.

| Washington, the great centre of news, en-
joys daily the benefit OF the United Press
Dispatches from every part of the world;
hence its patrons can read from its columns
in the evening what transpired that day in
every portion of the United States as well as
from every part of the habitable globe. Con-
sequently it is an everyday occurrence for
the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from the
various European capitals about twelve or 6f-
teen hours earlier than the morning papers.

is its afternoon Market Reports from all the
great centers of the country.

in this city, especially among those who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchss-
ing.
