The Drend of Snakes.

.sThe dread Of snakes is a mysterious
human trait, said New Orleans ply
sician, .and has per2iexed psychologists
not a little The great majority OF
snakes are perfectly harmless, but the
average man is vastly more afraid OF
them than he would be of some danger.
Gus wild beast. I use the word afraid
for its convenience rather than its ac-
curacy, because the sentiment in point
is not fear, as we commonly use the
term, and has nothing to do with cour-
age per Sc. It is a sort of instructive
horror and loathing, and, by the way,
is more common in men than in wom-
en-, the impression to the contrary not
withstanding According othe accept
ed theory, it is survival from the time
when serpents were among the most
formidable enemies of our man monkey
ancestors. The danger has disappeared,
but the dread still lives, all the more
terrible because it has grown vague

Club. md Gambling.

Gambling is prohibited in every large
club in New York city, and in most of
them the members who live in the club
house find that it is unwise to give
poker parties in their rooms. One Of the
charter members of a club which now
numbers more than a thousand mem
bers said last week that this club was
started by lot of men who played
poker regularly for high stakes "Pokea
for high stakes is still played in this
city," he said, "but not by the same
class of men that started this club. I
have sat in when men at the table lost
$15, 600 or $40, 200 in a night, and on
the whole it was a very costly amuse-
ment for me. much as enjoyed it.

played poker were either wealthy men
themselves who could afford it or the
sons Of wealthy men, and from the lat
ter / received good many l 0 US,
which I still have. The men who played
were supposed to be gentlemen. When
the club was organized, we played
there, and other members did not criti-
else us. That sort of gambling does not
exist in any decent club in New York
now It worked out its own end in this
club. Men who could not afford to lose
lost heavily. Several disagreeable club
scandals came Of it, and the game was
stopped That sort of play is now left
for the professional gambler, and the

The SkyInrE.

Need + cay a word about the skylark
and its wholly joyous song? It inspired
one of Jeremy Taylor's most beautiful
and best known passages-the lark riS-
ing from his bed of grass and soaring
upward, singing as he rises and hoping
to get to heaven and climb above the
clouds; singing 'tas if it had learned
music from an angel as be passed some
times through the air about his minis
tering here below" And it inspired,
too, one of the finest odes in the Eng
lish language, Shelley's 8 finest work, his
s.supreme ode. But, as may be said
of another ode, it is "not in tune with
the birds song and the feeling it does
and ought tc awaken. The rapture with
which the strain springs up at first dies
down before the close into Shelley'a
ever haunting melancholy.
Like Keats lode to the Nightin-
gale" it is no key to the birds song.
It does not teach US anything of the
thought and feeling which inspire that
quivering, ascending embodiment Of
joyousness. that pilgrim Of the SKY,
hiding itself in the glorious light Of the
summer heavens. The skylark may be
heard as early as January heard it
this year in November-as may also the
rarer wood lark, whose song, uttered
from trees or when flying, we recognize
from its likeness to that Of the skylark.

spirit and haste.-Gentleman's Maya.

Fhe Modern Boy.

The following quaint, but lifelike,
description Of the modern American
schoolboy, given by the Rev. Sydney
Strong, will find an echo in the heart
Of every mother who is the proud pos
SCISSOR of just such boy:
Ny idea of a boy:
He is half angel and half animal.
He is wide awake all night camping
out, but falls asleep in church. He is
superstitious, giving dandelion three
puffs to see If his mother wants him.
He carries lucky stone in his pocket.
He cures warts by burying the dish rag.
Burned cork, feathers, pins and fathers
earn make whole day show.
He stones the dogs, but will work for
hours over dog that limps with a
broken leg to the back door. No kinder
heart ever cared for motherless lamb
He disturbs family worship, but who
makes us think more of heaven when
he knee i and prays2
He is half angel and half animal.

He Pleads For Religion.

CONCORD, N. H., April Elm his
proclamation setting apart April 13 as
fast day in this State, Governor Rol
lins makes some sensational assertions.
After referring to the origin Of the day
he says:
The decline Of the Christian religion,
particularly in our rural communities,
is marked feature of the times, and
steps should be taken to remedy it. No
matter what our belief may be in rel-
gious matters, every good citizen knows
that when the restraining influences of
religion are withdrawn from a commu-
nifty its decay-moral, mental and f.
nancial-is swift and sure. To me this
is one Of the strongest evidences Of the
fundamental truth Of Christianity.
Isuggest, that as far as possible, on
fast day union meetings be held, made
up of all shades of belief, including all
who are interested in the welfare of
our State, and that in your prayers
and other devotions and in your mutual
counsels you remember and consider
the problem Of the condition of religion
in the rural communities. There are
towns where no church bell sends forth
its solemn call from January to Janu-
ary. There are villages where children
grow to manhood unchristened. There
are communities where the dead are
laid away without the benizon of the
name Of Christ, and where marriages
are solemnized only by justices of the
peace.
This does not augur well for the fu-.
ture. You can afford to devote one
day in the year to your fellow men, to
work and thought and prayer for your
children and your children's children.

The Chinese Waiter.

The chief glory Of an average Chinese
inn is the waiter. This indispensable
functionary is the guardian Of all your
interests for the time being, and when
you are not looking he dives into secrets
and matters of your own that seem to
amuse and enlighten him to your in
convenience and annoyance
Like his confreres in other and more
enlightened countries he hardly ever
separates himself from the inevitable
napkin, but his badge of waitership is
a very practical article with him.
With it in summer he mops his damp
brow or bare shoulders, while in win
ter, wrapped about his head. it protects
him from rain and wind.
The Chinese walters napkin is put
to all kinds Of uses besides those just
mentioned. 1t is used as dishcloth, a
mop with which to wipe the floor, a
cloth for cleaning and wiping down ta-
bles and duster.
But Chinese landlords are very rea-
sonable in their charges, which in a
measure compensates for the unpleas.
antness of living in their inns.

Brigham Young.

Brigham Young was fine, tall, well
developed figure, a trihe too stout, per-
haps; fresh, ruddy complexion, almost
beftting a young girl; keen blue eyes,
not telling too much Of what went on
behind them; full mouth, singular
ly magnetic manner, voice hard and
cold in its formal speech, but low and
impressive when used confdentially; al
together man of mark anywhere and
one whose wonderful influence over the
minds and purses of men and the hearts
and principles Of women could be much
more fully credited after an hours con-
versation than before.
Glancing at Joseph Smiths portrait,
we ventured the criticism that it did
not show any great amount of strength,
intelligence or culture. Mr.. Young ad-
mitted the criticism and said that Smith
was not O man of great character nat
urally, but that he was inspired by God
as prophet and spoke at times not from
himself, but by inspiration. he was not
msn of education, but received such
enlightenment from the Holy Spirit
that he needed nothing more to fit him
for the work as leader. 'And this is
my own case, pursued Mr.. Young,
quite simply. "My father was from
tiersman, unlearned and obliged to
struggle. for his children's. food day by
day, with no time to think of their
education. All that have acquired is
by my own c1ertions and by the grace
Of God, who sometimes chooses the
weak things Of earth to manifest his
glory" Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly.

MEANING OF INDIAN NAMES.

Picturesque In Themselves and In
Their Significance.
The most Of cur Indian names of riv-
ers lakes, mountains, etc., have be-
come SO altered and disguised by the
English spelling of them that it is very
difficult to recover their original forms
and to be quite sure of the meaning
that was attached to them by the In
dians. In all Of those cases in which
their significance can be clearly made
out they are found to be simply de-
scriptive words, as, indeed, all names
were originally. the object being named
from some notable feature of it, and we
are perfectly safe as rule in rejecting
as fanciful all of those pqetical mean
ings which have been attaHed to many
of our Indian names. For example, the
name W:nnipiscogee has been said to
mean "Smile of the Great Spirit. Yet
this is one of the easiest names to de-
cipher It is pure Algonquin-Win-
nipe-s-au-kee = and means simply
Beautiful Lake Place Winnipeg has
about the same meaning-isAt the
Beautiful Lake" Winnipegoes is di-
minutive Of this name and means ''Lit-
tie Winnipeg.
The word niche, 'tgreat, enters Into
several other Indian names. Missi-ouri
is the "Great Muddy" Michigan is
the ..Great Sea. Michi-le-mackinac-
now shortened into Mackinac or Mack
inaw-is the "Great Turtle, name
given to the island probably because Of
it's resemblance to turtle
Connecticut means "Long River,
according to Roger Williams, the first
part Of it being the Indian work guni,
'.long.
Wisconsin, called by Father Joliet
Misconaing, is said to mean Turbulent
River" Ohio is an HoQuois name and
was translated by the French Belle Ri
Were. Beautiful River.
Massachusetts appears originally to
have been Mos-wetuset. The last part
Of this name means "hilL !" The mean
ing Of .'mos' is not so certain. Some
have rendered the name Arrowhead
HILL" and have supposed it to have
been given originally to a certain hill
on one side of the islands in Boston har-
Dor. Roger Williams, however, an ex-
cellent authority, says that the name
means ''Blue Hills, and it is worthy Of
note that there is a range Of hills not
far from Boston which still bears this
name
Passamaquoddy means "Place Full Of
Bears. I" from mawka, bear. This word
enters into the name Of town in
Pennsylvania, Mauch Chunk, which
means ''Bear Hill

JEFFRIEs WON OH POINTS.
ty-FxSe Lively Round, Neither One Be-
Ing Able TO Secure = Knockout.

Ring Side, Coney Island Sporting
Club, New York, Nov. 4.-James j.
JeHries retains the championship OF
the world. Referee George Siler giving
him the decision at the end of the
twenty-ffth round over Sailor Tom
Sharkey. at the Coney Island Sporting
club last night 1t was one of the
most marvellous battles that has taken
place and the greatest crowd that ever
gathered in the Coney Island clubhouse
witnessed the desperate struggle for
supremacy.
In FIVE rounds Jeffries had the better
of the ight-in the first two and last
three During the other 90 Sharkey
forced the issue and like bull terrier
was at his man with both hands IN
ceasingiy. In those 20 rounds Jefries'
great weight and Drawn helped him to
hold off the sailor and in the twenty
second round he swung in a couple of
upper cuts that made Sharkey groggy.
Tom came back again in the twenty
fourth. but he was weakened greatly
by JeffrieS' vicious blows
The thousands of spectators were
banked 40 feet high in the building,
the place being packed from ringside
to rafters, and the aisles around the
ring were lined. The tremendous
crowd sweated under the glare of 400
arc lights, Is feet or less from the can
vas of the squared circle. The heat
was intense. The fighters were almost
exhausted and the spectators shrieked
themselves hoarse. 1t seemed at first
as though it would be short fight,
for in the second round Jeffries put
the sailor to the ropes with left on
the jaw and the referee began to call off
the seconds as Sharkey kneeled on the
floor. But from the third round on
Sharlley. with his vicious swings to the
ribs and the jaw, kept the crowd on its
feet waiting for a knockout.
Jeffries stood the terrific punishment
and, with his eye, nose and ear split,
came back just as viciously in the last
three rounds and almost retrieved him
self. Then came the unfortunate and
unsatisfactory ending, Jeffries glove
flying off. bringing the fight to an
end, although the crowd urged Sharkey
to rush in and end it.
Bob FItzsimmons Pleased
Chicago, Nov. 4.-Bob Fitzsimmons
was greatly pleased at the result of the
fight, declaring that his contract to
fight the winner brought him once

knock him out It really looks to me
as though he should have done so and

GRADUALLY GROWING WEAKER.
Vice President Realizes That His End Is
Near, but His Vitality and Che0rful-
ness Help to Prolong Life.

Paterson. n. j.. Nov. THE condi-
ton of Vice President Hobart was but
little changed to-day, except that he
was slightly weaker. He slept good
part of the night. DIR. Newton said
that Mr.. Hobart rested as well a. could
be expected under the circumstances.
He denied emphatically the statement
published in one of the morning pa
pers to the effect that Mr.. Hobart was
suffering from cancer of the stomach.
He said that the statement gwen out
by him several days ago with the con-
sent of the family entirely covered the
malady of the vice president, and added
that there had been no new develop
ment of the disease. Mr.. Hobart takes
no solid food and comparatively little
nourishment. His vitality. upon which
he is living, is remarkable and his
cheerfulness is a strong factor in sus-
tanning the members of the family in
their aff3iction. He fully realizes that
his end is near.
