A Great Find.

One of the greatest finds of treasure
ever known was that of Russian in
the village of Starogarsiki. The man
was a resident on the estate of Prince
Ostersby, whose ancestors were plum
dered and expelled from their possess
sions by the Tartars. The treasure
was probably secreted by the family
at the time. The man had been given
his clue somehow or another, and he
worked tw elve years before finding any
thing. At last he came across twelve
large boxes filled with very ancient
coins of fine gold, besides enormous
other articles of great value. The total
value of the find was given at I7,ooo,-
600 rubies, two-thirds of which went
to the State and one-third to the finder,
making his share about $3,ooo,ooo.

Held a.Python by the Tail.

An East Indian traveller related a
curious experience with python. He
was sitting among some trees In a wood
when he noticed a movement In thick
growth of vines overhead, and, looking
up, saw the form of an enormous snake
evidently about to drop on him.
Hardly knowing why, he sPrang for
ward, seized the tail of the snake with
both hands and rushed into.the clearing.
The snake. which was re sting on mass
Of interviewer boughs, was taken entire
ly unawares and easily pulled out, show
ing a body nearly as large as a mans
thigh and twenty or more feet In length.
To have been caught in the folds of
such a creature would mean certain
death, but this ingenious snake taker
did not give the animal an opportunity.
He ran on, dragging the reptile some
distance, then moving slowly In cir
Gle, soon having it off. the ground and
in the air.
Swifter and swifter he swung the
hideous object, until he was flying
around him in a straight line. There
was a large palm tree not far away,
and, moving gradually toward it, he
soon brought the snakes's head against
it with a crash that sent the monster,
stunned and helpless, to the ground,
where it was dispatched by the natives,
who at first had fled with terror, watch
ing from their concealment this aston
ishing spectacle which illustrated the
courage of the white man.
