Snake Eat Snake.

A sight was witnessed one day at
the Zoo that has been the talk of the
people managing the animals of the
garden ever since: Keeper Myers, who
has charge of the snake cages, was
about to feed the reptiles, when, to his
horror, he saw one blacksnake meas
uring six feet devOuring its mate,
which was about the same length and
size of itself. The reptile had swal-
lowed it's fellow head first, and only n
foot and half still remained outside
its mouth. 1t was lying quietly, and
about once every 80 seconds a swal-
lowing motion would seize it, when as
much as two inches of its meal would
disappear. Myers opened the cage
and grabbing the powerless snake by
the tail, began tugging away to release
it. This proved to be no easy task, as
the cannibalistically inclined monster
had a firm hold on it's breakfast. Aft
er several minutes of pulling that
brought the perspiratiOn out on the
keeper the snake was set at liberty.
For a time it seemed paralyzed, but
gradually regained its strength.-Cin-

THE SQUIRE'S DILEMMA.
He Adjourned the Case to Find Out
Where He Was At.

Where He Was At.
A justice of the peace in one of the
west end bOrOughs issued a warrant
for the arrest of west end woman for
SANDER. Squire S. J. White happened
to be present at the hearing The pros
ecutor testified that the defendant had
called her an ''Old vlrago" and that she
had added, Il don't know what that
means. but whatever it is that's what
YOU are" The witness admitted that
she did not know what the meaning of
the word was. either, but she knew
it had no good meaning or the other
wouldn't have made use of it.
no matter what it MEANS" said the
squire, who is an intensely patriotic
American, Its a foreign name, and
she had no business calling you it. I'll
fine her for it,
Squire" whispered Squire White in
his ear, you have no jurisdiction in
slander suits. They must be entered
in court"
"Well, I'll hold her for court, then"
the squire declared.
But there's no law under which yol
can do that" he was told.
well, I'll hold her anyhow" he re-
piled, land test the cOnstitutiOnality
of the act
But there is no act" persisted
Squire White.
Get out of this officer commanded
the squire, turning on him. DO you
think I'm going to allow you to come
in here and learn me the law"
You ans go, too" he said, turning
to the women. You're both released
on your own rec-ogg- -ni-zance until this
court finds out what the darnatiOn to
do with this case."-Pittsburg News.

THE RED SHIRTS.
Convicts Who Wear Them In the
Penitentiaries of California.

Convicts Who Wear Them In the
Penitentiaries of California.
There are men in the penitentiaries
of California who are favored with
red shirts, but they are not made par
ticularly happy thereby.
When a convict has once worn the
crimson shirt, he hopes as ardently as
a convict can hope for anything that
the warden will never make him wear
it again. 1t means that he has tried
TO escape and failed.
But that is not ALL HencefOrth he
is degraded man in prison circles.
His time credits are gone. Solitary
confinement. dungeons and bread and
water may be his portion. He is
watched, suspected by the officers,
pointed out and explained" to visitors
and newcomers. Among the 700 CON
victS in the jute mill his req back may
be distinguished at glance. If he be
away from there moment, the guards
know it. Then the prison bell rings
the officers assemble, blOOdhOunds are
unclaimed. and the hunt begins.
Some of the red shirters at San
Quentin are among the most daring
fellows that ever scaled a prison wall,
and every man of them has run the
gantlet of guard and Gatling gun. Any
body in stripes who breaks for liberty
is liable to be riddled with lead within
60 seconds. The convicts know this,
but they also know that beyond the
gray stone walls there are green hills
and deep ravines and-possibly-free
| dom. The man who is sentenced to die
on prison cot is willing to stake his
life for liberty. His days and nights
are spent preparing for the game. If
he wins, the ICONS" he leaves behind
are jubilant, and many are the tales
of pluck and luck they will tell in
memoriam. AS a rule, no class of
people stand by each other like veter-
an ICONS. San Francisco Call.

"Ah, Hortense," he cried, Il cannot

moment as if she were half sorry. and
then, becoming firm again, she said:

The Red Sen.

At certain seasons of the year the
Red sea is almost unbearable. The
water taken from 20 to 80 feet below
the surface of the sea at o'clock in
the morning will often register a tenn
perature as high as 80 degrees. If, in
addition, a sandstOrm thinks fit to
blow, the whole air is full of a mist
made or innumerable particles of fine
hot sand. which blind and suffocate at
the same time.-Favorite Magazine.

Power of Deep Sea Waves.

In a high gale, mile long waves, 200
feet from trough to trough and 40 feet
high, roar along the sea at 20 miles an
hour with a weight of 10000 pounds
for every foot of their length. Upon
these a 600 foot ship. such as the New
York or the Paris, will rise like a
floating leaf, but if the i'll fated ship
drifts upon a lee shore blows of 1O0.-

EentiIatinE Bees.

In tropical countries there are what
one can only describe as ventilating
bees. During the hot season two or
three bees post themselves on their
heads at the entrance of the hive and
fan the interior with the incessant mo-
tiOn Of their wings. They are relieved
at intervals by fresh bees who carry
on the process. They are kept to their
duty by a sort of patrol of bees This
is well authenticated fact.

Discontented Children.

Parents sometimes complain that
their boys and girls would rather
spend their evenings anywhere else
than at home, and want advice as to
the best method of curing such an evil.
When we read such complaint, it al
WAYS occurs to us that the chief trouble
NAV lie in the fact that they do not
make home pleasant place for their
children. Is it cheerful at the hearth
and at the table? Does the father
strive to make home bright and happy,
or is he silent, moody and unsociable?
Are his children furnished with proper
supply of books, papers, magazines
and such other means of amusement
and improvement as their natures re-
op;re? Does the mother make friends
and confidantcs of her daughters, OF
does she merely dole out to them food
and clothing? Do the parents, IN
short, sympathize in the joys and griefs
the hopes and fears of their children
or do they ignore all that is mosl
essential to the happiness and GENIAL
culture of childhood? Whenever par
ents find that their offsprings are be
ginning to prefer any other place be
fore home. let them ask themselves
these questions, and they may discover
the secret o. their children's unfortu
nate prefercuces.-N. Y. Ledger.
