/ ments with Venomous Reptiles.
DR., Joseph Thompson, Jr., and his
collection of precious snakes will soon
be removed from Edgewater, Staten
island, N. Y. There is JOY accordingly
among the doctors neighbors, not be-
cause they dislike the doctor, but they
really don't care for snakes. On sew
eral occasions they have been scared
half silly because they escaped. The
doctor has been appointed assistant sur
geon Of the navy.
There is in the snakes a scientific
charm for DR., Thompson, and his expe-
riments with his ''pets, in which he has
made himself subject for their pois-
oned fangs, are startling. The doctor
not only handles the reptiles uneon-
cernedly without gloves, but has al
lowed one of the most poisonous of his
pets to sink its fangs in the flesh of his
fore arm, and all for the sake of science.
BY the prompt administration of anti
dotes Dr. Thompson has prevented seri-
GUS results.
He has worked with poisonous snakes

Fortified Trees.

Trunks Of trees changed to stone,
from which magnificent specimens Of
banded agate can be cat, are found in
the Yellowstone valley, in Arizona,
and elsewhere in the west, but cast
of the Mississippi such things are
very rare. Recently, however, fossil
tree, belonging to the pine family,
was discovered at Underwood, N. J.
The trunk, or what remains of it, is
26 feet long, z J feet in diameter at the
larger end and rapidly tapering for
a distance Of II feet to a point where,
when living, it had branches. At this
place the diameter is still no less than
five feet Thewood has been complete

Young white Baltimore Girl Runs
Away with a Negro.
A singular elopement, with alleged
hypnotism as its foundation, was dis
closed before Magistrate Jermon at the
central police station Philadelphia the
other day.
Joseph Daniels, 1niddle-aged col
ored man with flowing Dundreary
wbiskers, had a hearing and was held
without bail for trial for having eloped
from Baltimore to Philadelphia with
pretty Sallie johnson, aged Is, petite
Baltimore girl, whom Daniels had EN-.
ployed in his oriole city music store.
Sallie said at the hearing that Dan
iels ''had some influence over her which
she could not explain" so she yielded
when a week ago he told her to tell her
mother he was about to give the girl a
position in new music store in Phila-
delphia. Thus the ill-mated pair
clipped to the Quaker city.
They were quickly followed by
Thomas J. Owens, of Baltimore, the
girls uncle, who has turned prosecutor.

ABOUT AUDIENCES,
Opinions Formed by Some Noted
Orators and Actors.

Orators have various methods for
catching the attention and winning
the sympathies of their audiences.
Victor Hugo, when lecturing, used
to pick out the most stolid of the coun-
tenances before him and address
himself to its owner, feeling thatifhe
could make an impression upon him
the rest would be easy.
Dion Boucicault, the actor, fixed
his attention on the occupants Of the
galleries, whom he found quicker to
respond and give encouragement than
the richSr and consequently more
conventional people in more ezpen-
sive parts Of the house.
A well-known stump speaker, in
explaining his success, said that he
looked upon his hearers as children
and adapted his remarks to the iu-
venile mind.
A French orator Is responsible for
the statement that an audience re-
sembles woman and is Subject to
the same general rules that apply to
the tickle sex. At one time it must be
persuaded, at another caressed, at an
other bullied. tbs full Of moods"
Lloyd Bryce says: ''There is GER
tainly something feminine in the
quicmess of a crowds emotions. The
lntonation of word may cause your
audience to fawn upon you, as on
the other hand to turn around and
rend you. Perhaps it is half woman,
half tiger"
Dion Boucicault told Lloyd Bryce
how during seasons performances
n London he had noticed that on
some nights his audiences would show
greater responsiveness to the hui
parts of his cast, on other
nights to the pathetic. He asked sew
raj Of his professional friends to
make observations during their own |
performances and compare results.
The outcome was the discovery Of a
ecided uniformity of sensihveness
ach evening on the part of the audi !
noes throughout the town. Atmos-
heric influences were considered 10
g the cause.

Commenting on the report of Henry
G. Hester, secretary of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, the Picayune
has tie following:
For the first time on record the
Southern consumption of raw cotton
has passed the miliou-bale mark, and
this, too, ~ the face Of general dull
ness in trade and a depression in the
cotton goods market which was felt
all over the country. 1t is safe to say,
as Mr.. Hester maintains in bis report,
that the depression prevailing I'M
doubleday curtailed the consumption
of Southern mills to the extent of
10000 bales.
This increase in the Souths con.
sumption of cotton Is the most inter-
estiHg as well as the most important
feature Of Mr. Hesier's report, Many
people had feared that the general de-
preston prevailing in business would |
check the steady increase in cotton
consumption which has been shown
by the South for years past; but these
fears have proven unfouuded, and It
has been demonstrated conclusivelY |
shat the cotton industry is steadily |
drifting southwark During the past
season the Northern mills took !. 8O4,-
$50 bales. Although this shows a
moderate increase over the preceding
year, it is greatly behind the season
189+95; whereas the Southern con-
sumption has increased 10000 baes
in round figures compared with that
yesr.
These figures speak very eloquently
of the gradual removal of the cotton
goods industry from New England TO
The Southern cotton fields. The con-
troll of cotton manufacturing by the
South is Inevitable. In this day Of
keen competition the extra cost of
involved IN the freight
Jog OF cotton from the fields to the
distant New England mills is an im-
portant item in the cost of mauufac-
turlng cloth; hence the mills are being |
moved 10 localities where they can 6
secure an adequate supply direct from {
The primary markets or from the fields !
themselves. Northern mills no longer
make a pretense of competing with :
Southern establishments in certain
ines Of goods, and it is now realized

PERILs OF COCAINE.

Its Victims Become Melancholy and
Morally Irresponsible.
-Four years ago a member Of the
board Of lady managers Of the worlds

ness-like, with plenty Of money; to-
day old, poyerty-stricken, mentally
and morally irresponsible through in
diligence in cocaine.
Such is the story of Mrs. Annie G,
Myers.
The full history of Mrs. Myers
downfall is a sad one, and those who
were associated with her in the days
Of the fair are loath to give details,
but all of them unite in saying that the
woman's case now demands that she
be restrained and confined in some
hospital or institution.
Annie G, Myers is the widow of a
lake captain, and before the worlds
fair used to accompany her husband
on his voyages, and it was said she
could manage boat as well as he
could. She was woman of prepos-
sessing appearance and at the meet
ings of the board of lady managers
always took a prominent part and was
well liked 1t was said at the time
that she "had money to burn"
Mrs Myers is said by her friends
to be the victim of a certain catarrh
cure which has been exploited recent
~ in the papers as being responsible
for the downfall of a North side man.
1t contains cocaine, and the persons
who take it as a medicine IN many
instances become hopeless victims of
the drug
For the last two years Mrs. Myers
has drifted around, getting into
trouble in Detroit, studying law, do

who gave out of pity until |
they saw their gifts promptly for
the purchase Of more cocaine, DR., |
Frances Dickinson, who has long |
known Mrs, Myers, says she considers
the woman utterly irresponsible and
needing restraint. "She is a victim
Of a catarrh cure" said DR.. Dickin-
son, (which has made her slave to
cocaine"
DR. Dickinson warmed to her
theme and in the course of conversa-
lion went for physicians as a body.
1T is a queer thing to say, because I
myself am a DOCTOR" she said, "but |

his land are responsible for as many
