REAL SNAKE cHARMERs.
They Actually subdue Vcnomou&
Reptiles Into Temporary Docil-
ity md HnrmlcssncHs.

The famous snake charmers of Jndi&
are divided into two classes, namely the
genuine and the imitation, or the real
charmer and the tricky but clever
manipulation of snakes. The former
actually charms the venomous reptiles
into temporary docility and harmless
ness, while the latter merely handles
those which have been rendered harm
less by the extraction Of their fangs.
The real charmer seldom performs in
large town, because snakes are not as
numerous there as in the smaller vii
lagos and the jungles. One of this class
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, carrying his worldly possessions
in two bags hung on bamboo pole,
which rests on one of his shoulders. His
most important and highly PRICED be-
longing, his pipe, rude musical instru-
ment made of gourd and section OF
bamboo, he carries in his hand.
If YOU are living in the mofussil, or
rural district, and desire to ascertain
whether there are snakes harbored with.
in the precincts of your garden, pay the
charmer a rupee or two and he is at yoTt

trolley car has. The other night the
dog, whose name is Puck, heard a sus-
picious noise near the chicken coop. 1t
Immediately sailed off in the direction
of the hennery at swift rate. The
noise made by the pulley on the wire,
however, frightened off the thieves, for
when Puck reached his destination they
were gone. But just then he heard
some one moving in the dark near the
house. Back again he slid, whirring
through the air on his line.
Half way back the trolley got off
and became caught in some way. Pull
as the excited dog would, he could not
bulge it, and he hung in impotent rage,
barking his defiance and disgust. In
his excitement he whirled around and
tried to go the other way. Finding he
could not move his trolley in any direc-
ton, he began twisting his soft collar
tighter about his neck.
This continued until his barking
ceased and his tongue hung out, and
he barely reached the ground with his
hind feet. Then he began to rotate
rapidly in the other direction. When
he was unwound he repeated the opera,
tion, until his master came out and re,
leased him.-Chicago Chronicle.

sANpMAN'S LAND.

Ills queer old journey to Sandman'sL Land.
No road is more often trod;
For thousands of years little baby feet
Have pattered along the well-worn street
OF its capital city, Nod
And Just beyond is Banbury Cross,
In the kingdom of Old King Cole;
And often, tits said, our travellers small,
When not pressed for time, would make
call
on this royal merry old soul.
IT'S difficult journey to make on foot
When you've played It'll you're ready to
cry,
So they ride snug in bed, with golden rings
on thp pillow white. while mother sings
A gentle, sweet lullaby.
Things seem to get mixed In sandman's
Land
Mother Goose never told them So
And Old Mother Hubbard ran off with the
spoon,
While hot buns stood in a row
The Goosey Gander played the pipe
For Dame Trot and the crooked cat
And Marjorie Daw was baked in pie
while the blackbirds swept the webs from
the sky
With the pig of old Jack Spratt.
Can you tell what causes these wonderful
things
To be seen by baby eyes
In Sandman's Land while travelling far
With a little white crib for private car?
1 think t is cake, candy and pies.

on the ground, he sits down beside them,
cross-legged, closes his eyes, and begins
TO play u mournful melody upon his
pipe.
To the occidental ear there is nothing
impressive or thrilling in the performs
ance, and you fail to detect even a faint
resemblance to harmonious arrange
ment of tones such as you have heard in
your native land. 1t appears more like
an irregular series of melancholy
means, soulful walings, and dismal
shrieks, not unlike the productions Of

ises, when suddenly you notice a move
ment in the grass some distance from
the player and the head of snake ap-
pears above the blades, swaying TO and
fro, at least foot or two from the
ground
If it is cobra, the hood is expanded
and the eyes flash and sparkle like elec.
trio lights. Presently, perhaps, another
snake will appear in different part OF
the garden, followed by another, and,
if your place is well supplied with the
reptiles, there may be dozen of them
moving toward the player in spasmodic
leaps, while swaying their heads, and
at least one-fourth of their bodies clear
of the ground, keeping perfect time
with the music. They seem to give
themselves up entirely to the fasciRa'
ton of the weird sounds and to lose al.
consciousness of everything else.
As long as the man plays, they remain
within two or three feet of him, while
he sits with closed eyes, apparently un'
conscious of their presence. And still
he seems to WELD a mysterious power
over them, holding them at n safe dis
tance from him, while they never cease
to oscillatc as if in supreme ecstasy
Suddenly he removes the pipe from his
lips and opens his eyes. Slowly the
snakes sink fiat upon the ground and
then glide swiftly away through the
grass, disappearing before you have
sufficiently recovered from your aston
ishment to begin to think of killing
them. The charmer never kills them;
bis religion forbids it.-Chicago Inter

Printing In the Dark.

Sulphate OF quinine has some very
curious properties, one of them being
its power TO impress an image of itself
or a sheet of sensitive paper in the
dark. If design be drawn on sheet
of paper with sulphate OF quinine, ex-
posed for few minutes to the sun,
then placed on sheet of sensitive pa
per, put in book, and left for few
hours, perfect image of the drawing
will be found impressed on the sheet
Of paper. Writing may be copied in
sensitive paper in this way, but it must
be reversed, or the writing will be re.
versed on the sensitive paper.-IIarper'S

TROLLEY WATCH DOG.
How Puck Is Made to Protect HIS
Masters House and Chicken Coop
mt the Same Time.

In this age of electricity the wonder
full electric fluid has been applied 10
many things. Back east, in Pennsyl-
vania, they even have trolley dog"
There is no electricity in the trolley,
but the dog works just the same. j.
w Kneipschield, of Olympus, Pa, is
this genius. All persons who own dogs
and chickens will please study his eN-
ample. He, too. is a chicken raiser, and
down around Olympus, as indeed every
where. the chicken thief is the bugbear
of the householders. He used to save
his chickens by stationing his dog at
tac coop, until one night thieves broke
into his house. How TO use the dog to
guard both the house and chicken coop
was the question. He solved it in
strictly up-to-date way. He got the
idea from a trolley.
He bought lot of wire and stretched
1t from his back door to the chicken
house. From this he suspended an
iron pulley and connected the pulle,
with the dogs collar. Now, when the
dog runs he follows the trolley. When
stranger approaches the house the
dog ccmes up on the run by his own
trolley. Should the chickens be in dan
ger of raid the dog trolleys down to
the coop. The dog trolley usually
works like charm, and the dog seems
to enjoy the fun with as much satisfac-
tion as his master, who sleeps peaceful
iy all night.
But Mr.. Kneipschield finds that the
trolley dog has its troubles just as the

of political rumors, warlike and other
wise and decidedly conflicting in
tone. The newspapers of Havana
print extracts from President McKin-
ley's message to congress on the Gu
ban question and comment upon it
from various standpoints. The Diario
De la Marina, in an article commend
ing the suspension of hostilities, re-
ferred to as an armistice, says this
action upon the part of the spaniards
has removed all preteXt for the in
