CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

President Mckinley was besieged with
visitors just he got hack 10 Washing
ton last week. They were not all Office seekers
by any means Among the callers were Sena-
tor Thurston, Judge Day. the French Ambassa-
dor, and later the week Consul General Lee
all of whom had important business to trans
act.
While the President was away his mail was
very large. but comparatively few demanded
Mr.. Mckinley's immediate attention, and the
rest were duly attended to by the Executive
clerks who were not their vacations. But
communication with the President from the
White House was very quick and easy, for q
telegraph instrument was at hand. If Cabi-
net officer wanted to talk with the President
few minutes would suffice ior the telegraph
company to give the White House clear wire
to his retreat.
The President resumed his daily drives as
soon as he came back. He could be seen any day
last week after office hours, usually III COM
pany with Secretary Porter, in his victoria.
Sometimes he would be reading newspaper,
or apparently thinking out some Executive
problem, or chatting with the official at his
side. He wore clothes of light weight. and on
his head was straw hat of high crown and
q generous. flexible brm.
Consul General Lees interview with the
President was long, aud its subject was Cuba.

A Snake Story.

1 have killed scores of snakes and
seen perhaps hundreds, often when
riding about, but I have never known
any horse show signs of terror at the
sight of a snake: the most I have
known them to do is to shy a little il a
snake appeared suddenly, and very
often not that. I have repeatedly held
my horses rein in one hand while I
dispatched a snake with the double of
my stock-whip. On one occasion I
leaned over my horse and cut a large
brown snake with my whip. Instead
of making of, the reptile came de-
liberately at me and reared up between
my horses legs. The stockman who
was with me told me afterward that
the snakes head was within six inches
of my foot. My horse. instead Of tes-
tifying any fear or ever moving, stood
perfectly quiet; had he moved, very
probably his life would have been
saved. AS it was, the snake bit him
somewhere on the hind leg, and he
was dead in twenty minutes.-London

the most expensive manufactured prod

ment used in i~ncandescent electric

by a secret process in Paris, are so
valuable that a pound of those intended
