A Strong Snake Story.

The latest snake story comes from
South Africa. 1t is recorded in the
Transvaal, published in Cape Town,
as cold fact, that in Sekukiniland a
native ran across boa constructor
measuring about forty-seven feet,
which had just swallowed young
koodoo buck. all except the horns.
The horns stuck out on each side of
the reptiles mouth. The native rec
ognized the horns as those OF buck
he owned, and he ran and got sticks
and pinned the serpent, which was
dormant, to the ground. Then he got
hold of the horns and pulled and
twisted. He got the buck out inch by
inch, until half its body showed, and
then it came with jerk, and the boy
fell over on. his back. Before he had
time to think twice the snake. re.
lieved of his load of mutton, was upon
him, and it seized his head in Its
mouth and in three minutes the ma
tive had taken the place of the buck,
only he was oil inside; there was
nothing left out to pull on, even if a
rescuer had come along. Having
swallowed the boy the boa deliberately
swung its head around and grabbing
its tail swallowed eight feet of it, then
closing the mouth and throat down
which the native had disappeared, and
making escape almost impossible.
The Transvaal vouches for the truth
of the story.-London Times.

Indian Police.

That the Indian agencies now pre-
sent the appearance Of well regulated
cities is due to great extent to the
excellence Of the peace. These OH
GERS are always Indians, and compose
a force that for efficiency and bravery
cannc1 be surpassed. The ordinary
Indian, who would naturally be dis
posed to create trouble whenever ne
had an opportunity, is not now SO anx-
ious as formerly to do so, out OF a fear
of a visit from a squad Of police. The
wrong-doer, no matter If he lives On
the very outskirts Of the reservation,
sixty or eighty miles from the agency,
knows that a visit from the police Is
lust as certain as that the sun will
rise and set, and he knows also that he
will receive prompt punishment for
whatever crime he has committed.
He cannot elude the policemen, for they
are veritable bloodhou1lds, and never
fail to find their man, no matter to
what part of the reservation he may

we'll in the performance Of their du-
ties. Indian policemen are appointed
by the United States Indian agent in
charge of the reservation, and subject
to the approval Of the Commissioner
Of Indian Affairs. Captains and lieu
tenants receive salary Of fifteen dol
Iars permonth, and privates ten dol
lars. There is considerable rivalry for
the positions, and many individuals
serve for years without caring to resign
at any time.

Whistling to the Fishes.

"It isn't SO hard to obey the anti
street ordinances" said Joseph Boise,
an old soldier, yesterday. Gan old
soldier or sailor never spits on the
sidewalk. He has learned better IN a

for years; it is second nature for me
to step to the gutter when l have to
spit. That makes me think Of dis
cipl,ning I once had for whistling. l

tent whistling. He sent for me and
asked: DO you like to whistle? l
answered that I had been whistling.
He detailed a guard to lead me down
to the beach and keep me whistling to
the fish till they went to roost that
night. The guard was changed every
two hours. / whistled every tune 1
knew, and when my repertoire was ex-
hausted whistled something original.

Queer Pair of Ewes.

Frederick Baufeld, who suffered an
injury to one of his eyes few years
ago, inflicted by flying splinter in the
East Side Southern Pacific shops, is
just back in Portland, from Vienna,
after course of treatment. While
there he was for two months totally
blind. His sight, after it was restored
to him, proved remarkably abnormal
in fact, the most scientific authorities
on diseases of the eye say that there
is no similar case on record. Baufield's
right eye became hyperopic, and the
left myopic; in other words, he could
see nothing close by with his right
optic, but at long range he was able
to discern the smallest object. Then
at a distance of twenty feet, tie larg-
est object was blurred to the left eye,
but within six inches Of it the most
infinitesimal atom was magniied to
as great proportions as though it were
beneath the most powerful microscope,
says the San Francisco Call.
Baufeld is somewhat sensitive on
this subject, as most abnormally afflict-
ed people are, yet few days ago he
practically demonstrated to a few in
innate friends the unheard-of degree
to which he was suffering from hyper
opia and myopia. On one Of the recent
clear afternoons he read the print OF
a newspaper at a distance of 200 feet,
while his left eye was blindfoldod, but
when the paper was placed immediate
ly before him he was unable to deci-
pher a letter. In addition he described
the color of very small piece Of cloth
one of his friends had projecting from
a thumb nail 800 feet distant.
To test his myopic vision a strong
microscope was employed. Two tests
were made, the right eye being closed.
A drop of water and small piece OF
a house fy's wing, were the objects.
In both instances Baufield described,
with the use of his naked eye, what the
others saw only with the aid OF pow
erful instrument.

Refinement IN SerYing Food.

Refinement in serving food, the use
of pretty dishes and clean napery,
having hot food hot, and cold food
cold, is the difference between home
cooking and boarding house cooking.
The idea seems to prevail among
boarding house keepers that what
boarders want is variety, and variety
is given, often at the expense of quail.
ity, always at the expense OF proper
preparation. The things that shonld
be not come to the table in luke
warm condition, and cold things are
anything but cold in reality, In the
whole bill of fare, there will be not
one single thing that is properly pre-
pared, or perfectly served. A single
chop, hot roll and cup of coffee,
all perfect in their way and properly
served, will make an angel OF crank,
when o dozen half-cooked dishes,
served in a slovenly maner, will simp'
ly drive one into a passion. .--Wash'

tered the cabin, and rs l was good for
nothing, I needed no more urging
than the mate to remain in my posi-
tion.
Prescott went first, holding his pis'
tol in one hand and lantern in the
other, while Bob closely followed with
his cutlass. We saw them descend the
hatchway. All was still, aud then [
heard the single exclamation from
Prescott:
sob, my God"
This was followed by q terrible roar,
quick succession of pistol shots, and
then all was still again. The next
moment both Prescott and Rackstay
Bob emerged to view, covered from
head to foot with blood.
"Come aboard" said they. "The
danger is over"
The next instant we were on deck.
I rushed to the hole, and gazed down.
Merciful heaven! what did I behold?
By the dim light Of the lantern we
beheld the mangled body of Captain
Luster. The head and one of his limbs
were gone, and there was scarcely q
semblance OF humanity in the remains
before us. Near him was the gaunt,
terrible form of an expiring Bengal
tiger, killed by the bullets, cutlass
and dagger OF Prescott and Backstay
Bob.
The two latter, on entering the
cabin, saw the mutilated body of Cap.
tain Luster. A low growl warned them
of danger, and Us Prescott turned his
gaze he saw the tiger crouching and
in the very act OF spriuging. Drop
ping his lantern he fred his revolver,
and, rs the terrible animal bore him
to the floor he drew his dagger and
stabbed him again and again. The
needle-pointed instrument reached his
heart, which, united with the slashing
blows of Backstay Bob, settled his
hash before he could infict any ma
terial injury.
We now made critical examination
of the place. A number Of human
bones strewed the floor, and several
articles of wearing apparel, which
seemed to indicate that the place had
been tenanted by two human beings
of opposite sexes, and had probably
been torn to pieces by the tiger. The
room was long and low, extending the
whole length of the vessel, and hav-
ing at either extremity a massive iron
chain, terminating in heavy ring at
one end, the other being fastened by
strong staple to beam in the vessels
side.
The brute had chain to his neck
and had been confined to one corner
of the room by q delicate iron ring,
which had been put there to be
broken. Over the centre of the room
was written something in an Indian
dialect, which was pronounced by the
mate (who had spent several years in
India) to read:

And the ships course was altered so
as to bring her rapidly to the mysteri-

directed.
Several of the company now openly
remarked that there was something
supernatural in the appearance of this
boat, with its tolling bell. To all of
these Florence Harris and her lover
replied lightly, neither OF them having
the least faith in their credulitY.
The captain listened impatiently and
then said:
"You're all set of towards. No
doubt you imagine Old Nick is aboard,

the Galapagos Isles with q load OF

for half an hour longer. Ill tell you

To show that he meant what he said,
orders were given to heave to, and to
get one OF The boats in readiness, BY
this time the nondescript was plainly
visible to all.
1t appeared to be an old hulk, with
a a-single mast in the centre. The bell
was suspended from the masthead,
