Told of Indigo Snakes.

The student of animal life at the
geological gardens is startled frequent
Iy by the remarkable display of sagacity
that is sometimes made by the inmates
of that interesting place, says en- Eng
lish writer What, for instance, could
be more clever, more thoughtful or
more amazing than the action of the
indigo snake when cold weather comes
on? 1t was illustrated recently. The
first breath of cool air that was waited
across the garden informed the indigo
snakes that cold wave was at hand.
They could not hide their heads under
their wings, like the robin of the nurs-
cry book. They could not take violent
exercise and warm up their blood, for
their blood will not warm. So they
settle the problem by swallowing each
other in turn. One indigo snake will
swallow his better half, for example,
until she becomes thoroughly warmed
up and then she will swallow him until
be feels comfortable

WHOSE SHOT WAS FTP"
A Difficult Question Which Often Con-
fronts Sportsmen.

A Difficult Question Which Often Con-
fronts sportsmen-
When two men are hunting together,
either for large game or small, there is
frequently considerable difficulty in
determining to which one the dead
game belongs, especially when the
shots are fired simultaneously, or when
shot or bullets of the same size are
used by both hunters. DR.. J. W. Hall
in Recreation discusses at considerable
length the question: Whose Game
Was It?"
When two persons standing side by
side shoot with shot of the same size
st a bird the question is practically IN
answerable, though If both hit Che
bird the number of shot in the game
would, of course, have to be considered.
Courtesy gives the doubtful gam. TO
the one whose bag is lghtest.
An experienced hunter can usually
tell when he presses the trigger wheth-
er it is a killing shot or not, and when
two such men shoot together there is
rarely any difficulty, as each knows
whether he held on or not, and does not
hesitate to say so if he feels that he
missed.
When hunting with a man who
claims everything it is best to quit.
Some men, even if their second shell
misses fire, will contend that they
killed two birds rods apart. They
can make marvellous shots around cor
ners, over hilltops and through trees,
and they quite spoil an henest mans

The Thiefs Art Reduced to a Fine Point
in Mexico.
Mexico is a land of thieves and law
lessness. An English correspondent
tells of an adventure of two men il
the Grand Square of Mexico. They
stood talking before they should part.
One was American, the other English.
Suddenly the former said to the latter,
pointing to the opposite side of the
square under the colonnade:
Look at it-look! They're pinch
ing him nicely, aren't they? And he's
a friend of mine, you bet!"
And there, while he stood gazing at
the cathedral all unconscious, another
American was relieved of his watch
and other valuables.
''Smartest thing i ever saw" cried
the watching Yankee. Look here, I'd
like to interview those coons."
They did so. the Englishman inter
preting. Said the admiring Yankee,
after time:
Can you do me like that? I'd like
to know what it feels like"
And the answer came oontemptu-
ously:
You? Why, we did you an hour
ago!"
This Is a true story.

Of gay jewellers to enter Westminster

to enter one of the vaults beneath the
abbey, and in proof of his having been
there he was to stick fork into cof-
fin which had been recently deposited
there. He accomplished his object and
was returning in triumph when he felt
himself suddenly caught, and was so
overpowered by terror that he fell into
q swoon. His companions, not being
asle to account for his long absence,
fund him in this condition. The fork
which he had fastened into the coffin
had caught and pinned his long cloak
and so occasioned fit of terror which
nearly proved fatal.

MONARCHiAl RULE
The German Empire Has Done Much 60
RcafhrD It


ReafhrD It
To the student of political institu-
tons perhaps the most characteristic
thing about the history of the German
empire, says Macmillan's Magazine, is
the example that it gives US of the re-
vival or reaffirfnation, so to speak, of the
principle of monarchy. That princi,
PIE has received some rude shocks in re-
cent years. The establishment of the
French republic was one. and the depo-
sition of the emperor OF Brazil was GER
tainly another. Both events gave great
encourag cement TO republican ideas.
hingship in the old absolute sense had
long been on the wane. The French
revolution almost shattered the founda-
tons of the old monarchical rule. In
England the old kingship received its
final blow when George ". surrendered
his position on the question of the
emancipation of the Catholics; no at
tempt has since been made to impose
the royal viii upon Q reluctant min
istry or parliament. In France the old
kingship disappeared when Louis Phil
ippe, the Citizen King, was summoned
10 the throne; for the monarchy OF July
was built on strictly constitutional
lines. Even in Prussia a very restricted
constitution was reluctantly conceded.
King Frederick William ". vowed
that he would never let sheet of paper
Intervene between the God in Heaven
and his subjects: but even be was forced
at last TO yield to the spirit of the age,
and as Bismarck picturesquely put il,
the crown itself threw a clod upon its
coffin. The Italian states and Spain
were for long in a condition of chronic
revolution. and either constitutions
were extorted or republics were estab-
lished. 1t almost seemed as though the
principle Of kinsship was doomed ere
long to disappear. But the history of
the German empire has done much
toward the restoration OF monarchy TO
its old iuustyiovs position

TRIED TO BRIDE THE COURT.

Gave the Judge the Cheap Cigar He Had
Bought for Himself.
A down-eaSt lawyer had a tough case
on hand at a recent term of court, and
before it came on he laid his foretinger
to his nose and evolved an idea The
presiding judge loved a good cigar,
and the lawyers happy thought was
to propitiate him and make him friend
ly to his case by treating him to the
best the market afforded. The disciple
of Blackstone was not in the habit OF
smoking good cigars himself, so when
he bought a 25-center for the court
he bought a cheroot for his own use.
Armed with these he sauntered into the
judges room and after little chat
passed out cigar, asking the judge if
he smoked. The court accepted grace
fully, but before many whifs were
drawn the Mortified lawyer discovered
he had given the judge the cherUot and
was pulling the Havana himself. The
judge politely tried to look pleased as
the smoking proceeded. but the lawyer
has since made no attempts to bride

THE RED CROSS.
Why the United States Was Slow In Rec
ogntzfng the Movement.

ogntziAg the Movement.
1t is not a matter of surprise, on con-
sidering the circumstances, that our
own country should have been the last
in establishing within its territory a
branch of the Red Cross. For when
the original society was organized our
country was in the midst of its civil
war. All the literature Of the Red
Cross was in other languages, prin-
cipally in the French, and the foreign
reviews and magazines which discussed
1t were little seen in the United States
at that time. At the time the first
convention was called in Geneva there
were no delegates sent from this coun-
try, although the minister to Switzer-
land was considered a delegate eX-
officio; he sent to our government a
copy of the proceedings, asking recog-
milton, but it was ignored, if not de-
clined, as there was no room for
thought of any kind outside the nation
al tragedy of civil war. In 1856 Rev.
Henry Bellows, D. D., presented the
subject again and an incipient society
of the Red Cross was formed here, but
it had little vitality and soon died out.
The international committee in Geneva
was then discouraged and made no
further effort until after Miss Berton's
arrival in Switzerland. 1t is she who
was the connecting link-the personal
influence which caused the relation of
the European society to its American
branch, or rather caused the American
branch to be established. On May 81,
1881, the first convention in the United
States to consider the Red Cross move
ment was held in Washington, and
constitution and bylaws adopted.
Under the administration of Presi-
dent Arthur, in July, 1882, the Amer
lean branch of the Red Cross was in
corporated into the international so.
ciety, and received into the fellowship
of the kindred societies of 81 other na-
tons. The final concurrence and adj
hesion of the United States was learned
with great satisfaction by the affiliated
societies.

and, of course, became interested in
my paper to the exclusion of every

however, I glanced up from my paper
and looked around the car. A rather
pretty young woman, who stood just in
front of me, bowed very sweetly and
said: Why, how do you do?' tipped
my hat, but for the life of me couldn't

she seemed to know me. and, of course,
it was only proper that 1 should give

Sir Henry Howorth, NJ. P, F. II. S.,
in responding to the presidents invita-
ton, said he was one of the class who
deplore that they were not taught
shorthand when young.
In writing his books his great diff.
entity had been the copying verbatim,
in the ordinary longhand, the material
pertinent to the subject. Shorthand
would have spared his eyes and saved
both time and temper. He felt so
strongly on the subject that he was in
sisting ON having his own boys learn
the art. He had travelled in dangerous
and difficult countries, where he found
that one of the greatest difficulties was
our cumbrous writing.
We urge parents to consider the pro-
priety of adding stenography to the
educational course which they mark
out, especially for their boys; and, in
deed, it would be a valuable accom-
plishment for girls.
Pitiful cases of applications to do
copying have come under our notice
here, where employment could have
been given promptly if the applicants
had been accomplished stenographers;
but they wished to do the work in long
