SNAKE CHARMERS.
Hardy American Indians who Garry
Deadly RattIers in Their
Mouths.

1t is generally supposed that the ser
penis exhibited by snake charme1s
have been deprived OF their fangs, and
this is doubtless often the case, while
one instance ut least is recorded in
which the mouth of the snake had
been sewn together TO prevent it from
biting, says the Westminster Review.
TIE writer noticed at the Ccylon eXhi-
biti0n, given some years ago in Lon
don. That one of the snake charmcrS,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting
becoming too lively and aggressive,
seized the reptile by the neck and thrust
it hastily into the small round basket
in which it was carried, at the same
time pushing it with voluminous
white cloth, at which it bit savagely.
Having almost closed the lid of the
basket, the man drew away the cloth
Violently, thus doubtless dragging out
tho iangs which were fastened in it.
He then secured the basket and car
ric6 it away.
This, of course, required large
amount Of cool courage, as we'll as
great quickness of hand and eve, all
which qualities must be doubly neces-
sary in capturing and tanning these
deadly reptiles. But if we are aston
ished by the skill and dcXterity dis
played by Indian snake charmers, still
more must we marvel at the hardihood
of the American Indians, who, in their
snake dances, not only handle the dead
ly rattlesnakc with iInpunity, but alb
solntely carry it about in their mouths.
