 Mrs. Boiling is blushing girl of about 60 or 65 summers, and was as shy and modest as Montgomery debutante.

 But she was happy when she arrived here. When asked by 2 reporter about her mission to Ontario she said:
 "Now, if had known that the conductor was going to tell it, I would not have shown him my letter." She said this shyly and shrinkingly. But she went on:

A PETRIflED SNAKE.
Perfectly Formed and is Fourteen Feet in
 Length.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 Near the Cascade, three miles from Sus- quehanna, Pa., party. of bluestone quar- rymen found round stone projecting from tn ground. It was in the way of teams hauling stones. and the men attempted to pull it up. The foreman instructed his men to dig up the stone and get it out of the way.
 They dug down a few feet, but did not reach the end of it. Another effort was made to pull 1t out, and it broke off. They continued to throw up the earth. and, as a result, three long pieces were broken off, At last the foreman concluded to see where it ended. After several hours were con- stunned in the work the end was reached. The men were surprised to find, when they finished their work, perfectly formed ser pent's head and neck.
 The foreman at once concluded that they had unearthed petrifed serpent The pieces were placed together and formed a perfect snake fourteen feet long. The eyes, nostrils and mouth are distinct and unmis- takably marked, as are the dark and light CT brown spots upon the sides. The head is about six inches wide, and decreases one third in thickness from the top down.
 The neck gradually grows smaller, and then the body increases in size until the middle is reached, where the diameter is six inches. From that point it declines to the tail. One piece Is missing, evidently about one foot in length. The petrif1cation of what are supposed to have been the fieshy parts of the monster has a color cor responding to red sandstone, while that of the vertebrae is several shades lighter and softer.

STORMY STAGE SISTERS.
Angry Girls Have LandIady Summonsed for
 Holding Their Trunks.

From the New York Press.
 Odor of patchouli and rustic of stiffiy starched petticoats floated through the air when the Mirandi girls entered Mrs. Tay- lor's boarding house at 32 West Twenty fourth street, on Oct 29. Marie Miranda would be described by the dramatic critic of the Yaphank Yawp as "a dashing bru- nette," while her sister Blanca, @ sweet thing of sixteen, would be alluded to by the same eminent authority on stage art as "a petite and vivacious blonde.''
 They had two big trunks, with labels of 'theater' posted all over them, and Mrs. Taylor at. once agreed to board them for sS a week, with $1 extra for gas. Just why they need gas at night when Blanca had such incandescent hair, is not clear. They might have read by the light of her locks.
 You see,' said Marie, ,biithely, i've are resting just now-at liberty, you know. But MT. Hertz has promised us an engagement in Stranded in New York ,"
 'In what?" gasped the .anda.dy.
 Stranded in New York It's a new play"
 Mrs Taylor said nothing, but the name of that play fingered in her mind, and when, a. week ago, an expressman called for the Mrandas' trunks, Mrs. Taylor said:
 May, noy; not until I get the $44 you owe me-"
 Then there were two stormy stage sisters. They threatened and pleaded by teurns. Finally they had the landlady summoned before Magistrate Pool in the Jefferson Market court yesterday.
 Why, judge" said Marie, q used to be an opera singer, and I'm well known. We're related to Prince Bismarck, indeed we are. And to think that Twenty-foutrh street landlady should hold our trunks for her miserable moneyi"
 It was agreed finally taht if Mir. Hertz gave security the trunks would be released, and the day-and-night sisters left the court
