MAN AND SNAKE.

H. Rider Haggard tells. in Long. mans, little stc.y which he evidently considers mere dramatic, but which Is so full of horror for any lover of anil mals that it can only cause condemna- tion of the brutal instinct of sport"
 Once. many years ago. 1 was riding iE sea'ea as small game upon the veldt in the ..as ,aal, when a hare jumped up befo me Halting the horse, shot at :; from the saddle, and with the second barrel broke one of it's hind legs and injured the other. Springing from my horse, without reloading the gun, I ran to catch nit; but I saw with chagrin that it would reach the hole for which It was heading before could evertake it.
 Presently it came to the hole, but without bolting, sat quite still upon the hither side. Thinking that it was dy ing, I erept up cautiously and stretched out my hand to seize it. The next instant I received one of the sharpest shocks I ever experienced; for. on the other side of the hole, within four feet of my face, like some child of evil magic, there rose up suddenly the larg- est cobra that 1 have ever seen.
 The reptile, which appeared to me to be about six feet long. stood upon his coiled tail, puIed out his horrible ana deadly hood, ficked his tongue and spat at me
 There was no reason why he should not have struck me also, since for the moment I was too paralyzed to move. Recovering myself. I sprang backward and began searching in my pocket for cartridge, when the great snake, with a. single swift movement, yan- ished into the hole.
 Now as the cobra had gone, thought I might as well secure the hare, which all this time, petrifed with terror had been crouching by the hole. So once again l bent forward. It heard me, and tried to run away, out was evidently too weak.
 Then it looked. first back at me and next at the burrow down which the snake had v ished; and seeming fnal- ly to decide 4at the mercies of a cobra are greater than the mercies of man. it uttered . scream and followed the reptile into he hole
 I stood by and listened. Presently from under the earth came the sound of rush and scuf1e, followed by an other Ditifu scream. Then all was still.

COAL oF THE WORLD.

The coal production and consump- stion of the world during the last ff- teen years are presented in some tables just prepared by the treasury bureau ofsstatisties. These show that while the United Kingdom is Still the largest coal producer of the world, the United States is a close second, and if the present rate of gain is continued. will soon become the leading coal-produc-. ing country of the world, says the Scientific American. The coal produc-. ton of the United Kingdom in 1897 was 2O2 ,OOO, ,0O0 tons; that of the United States, 179,O00,O00 tons; Ger many, s1,0OO,OOO; France. 80,0O0,00O; Belgium, 22,OoO, GOO; Austria-Hungary. 12.000,0O0 Russia, nearly 10,000,00O, Australasia, nearly 5,000,000; Japa :, over 5,00O,O00 British India, 4,000,0e.

As an exporter of coal the United States takes low rank in proportion to it's production, and stands fourth in the list of coal-exporting countries. In 1897 the exportations of coal from the United Kingdom were 48,o00 900 tons; from Germany. 120OO,O00 tons; from Belgium, over 6,O00,0O0, and from the United States, a little less than 4.000.- coo. though in 1898 the quantity ex- ported was slightly atoye 100000 tons Australasia comes next to the United States as coal-exporting country, her exports amounting to nearly 3,000,000 tons, while France ex- ported about 2,500,0OO, Japan 2,0oO,O00 and Canada about 1,250,000 tons in 1897.

It Is the same with actresses and singers. The prineely Inequalities of a certain diva are World-famous. Your popular actress, as a rule. would like to have four hands with which tc throw her money about, and she does 1t, indeed, to such effect that a mon- eter benefit is usually got mp to supply her with the necessaries of life toward the close of her career. It is possible indeed, that women in this connection, are somewhat akin to gamblers. II they make money with ease-or, at any rate, with not too strenuous toiI-they are prone to spend it in the most tol- erably light-hearted fashion.

No lTFor Yofuateerx.

Though determined to increase Gen. eral Otis command. so as 10 provide him with 35,000 men, it is authorita- lively stated that no call for volun- teers will be issued, and renewed con fidence is expressed fn the abiltcy of this force to GueH the insurrection. The strengthening of the admfnistra- tion,s confidence is the result of 8 eablegram received from General Otis indicating that he has a. last found the point through which the insurgents ship their supplies. and that proper steps have been taken in cooperating with the navy to cut of the filibuster- ing expeditions sent 10 the Island of Luzon by friends of the FiIipinos in Hongkong.
 Under the order issued, increasing the companies of infantry to 12s men each, General Otis will be provided with force of 29644 men. In order to increase his strength to 5000 men it has been determined to increase the strength of each company, troop and battery in the Philippines to 150 men. Colonel Thomas Ward, assistant adju- tant general, in charge of recruiting. expects that the 5000 recruits called for will be enlisted and on their way to San Frar .isco within ten days.
 While the administration expresses the utmost confidence in the ability of General Otis, with the regulars, to cope with the situation, it is evident that the sentiment is growing that tho president should cali for volunteers in order to provide that officer with at least 65.000 men to begin the campaign at the commencement of the rainy season.
 Expansion,
 A little boy from the slums had been taken for the first time out into the country, and was discovered sitting apart on high bank and looking to- ward the hills, to which he was a stranger. One of the friends who had made the trip possible for him ap- preached, and quietly seated himself at the boys side. The boy turned a radiant face upon him and said: Teacher. is this purity thing ours? Ia this all in the United States?"

Unpopular Souvenirs.

Washington Post: That makes me think, by the way, of a costly mistake a theatrical man I know made last winter. The mistake is stored in one of the Washington theaters this very minute, and there is trunkful of ft. Some of it is blue and some of it is yellow, and some of it is shell pink. but all of it is silk with silver buckles meant to be worn where Bobby Shafto. in the old song, wore his, and there are several hundred pairs of it. They tue pairs-were intended to be pre- sented to the women in the audience on the ocasion of the one hundred and fftieth performance of certain opera the theatrical man manages. and when the appointed time was come. and the g1ittering things were piled on tables in the theater lobby, only three women in the house paused to take their choice. As souyenirs--well, the man. ager simply couldn't give the things away, and they are gathering tarnish in the trunk here now, for he left them in disgust at this point in his tour. The matinee girl is willing to accent clocks and pictures and spoons and goodness only knows what eles as sos- venirs, but there are thugs she drawa tue line at.

ourbIng ralk over relephone..

People who have a grudge against telephone companies in general will be pleased to know that the women of New South Wales refused to be ground flown by any soulless corporation. They determined to get the worth of the telephone rent, no matter how much time it took, so they conversed over the wires by the hour until the central office people were driven to distraction. Things got to such a point that the postmaster general in sydney was appealed to. and he issued an order forbidding loquacious women From monopolizing a telephone for more than ten minutes at a time.

ARE WOMEN srlNGY7


 There is "a fine old mascpHne preju- dice that women, ,4as a class, are stingy.. The whole question hangs closely on to the power of .eaTniRg money, and the woman whos makes her own life and her own living, is rarely guilty of the vice of parsim6ny. The5horrers of rigid domestic economy are usually praeticed by wives to whom weekly dole for housekeeping is handed out; women who, not possessing a penny oI their own and having no pin money settled upon them at marriage, are tempted to pinch and scrape in order to put something by for themselves.
 The woman who earns, on the other hand, especially one who earns on large scale, is more often than net openhanded to a fault The case of a novelist-the late Mrs Oliphant-is one in point. This courageous pen woman lived always on the fat of the land, travelled en princesse, sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and prac. ticed all the amenities of life. Although a good Seotswoman, we are told by a writer in Blaekwood that she hated small economies. To travel expensive was her way. She never would tray- el seeond-class. She had none of what she calls the faculty of economies in her. She stayed at the very best and most expensive hotels; she dressed in the richest of silks and satins.'
 Mrs. Oliphant, in short, though trife daring in her expenditure, is good type of the open-handed working woman. There are at least two fa- nous English authoresses today who liye-and entirely by their own exer- tions-like the wives of peers. They have town and country mansions; they go to Italy. to Egypt, to Japan, when the fancy takes them; they drive the most sbowy horses; they entertain like South African milllonaires. To think of them as mean is 10 imagine an i'm possibility. They earn large sums and they are at considerable pains to spend them as quickly and as joyously aa may be.
