Queer NeNvspnpers.

From the New Orleans Plcayune.
At Prince Albert, a remote but busy viii
lage in the Canadian northwest, a weekly
newspaper is, or recently was, regularly
published, in the handwriting of its pro-
prietor, editor. reporter, advertising agent
and printer. the five being one man He
adorned his lively four-paged sheet with
carfcatures rudely copied from comic pa
pers. and decorated his horse and stock
ads with rough cuts The paper APP
peared i'll purple ink from a geiatine copy
ing press. or hektograph, and it's editorials
md local news were usually so clearly pre-
scented that the little journal was influential
IN the territories, read with aVidity in the
newspaper offices of eastern Canada and
constantly quoted as authority.
A newspaper by the same process is the
Mashonaland Herald and Zambesi Times,
conducted by an Englishman In the wilds
of Africa and supported by subscriptions
and ads" from miners and traders
The most northeriy Of newspapers is said
10 he the Nord Kap. published weekly in
Hammerfest. Norway, by Peter Johann
sen, who lives and works in little tuft-
rooted house. The Nord Kap is, however,
regularly printed from news received by a
ship, which touches at Hammerfest-but
once in eight days Sometimes the latest
VS. arrives on the day of publication for
the former batch, and then 1.-THE latest
does not get into the Nord Kap till it has
been known fourteen days or more to the
great world to the southwark.
But the most curious paper of all IL that
described by Mr.. G. \. Sala as formerly

the home and foreign service battalions
they will find many officers and non-com-
missioned officers with whom they have
already served.
But there is a reverse side to the medal.
The reservists have not fired shot since
they left their corps. and the experience
of all militia officers is that the ex-lines-
men who join the Constitutional force have
fallen off greatly in craftsmanship. Men
who In the regular army, were first-class
shots, have in a few years so far lost their
Ole skill with the rife that they shoot little
better than the average militaman-that is
to say. they fall far below the average
linesman. and are but little better than the
rank and file of the volunteers. If the ex-
reServists have thus lost their old trick of
hitting the target the reservists themselves
cannot be much better. and it should be the
first aim of the authorities in Pail Mall,
and of the officers of the battalions which
the reserve men join, to bring them up to
their old standard Of craftsmanship. We
are glad to see that efforts will be made to
repair this defect, and, though the time
is short, much may still be done to give
the rescrvists at least some practice before
they leave

DEADLY SNAKES.
Various Signs by Which Their Char
acter May BE Recognized.

From Outing.
To distinguish between venomous and
harmless snakes Is easy in practice, but il
| is difficult to explain in words alone, as
there is no o,e external characteristic
which distinguishes them 1t is rather a
peculiar varying union of many separate
! marks that brands the dangerous reptile.
Generally speaking, all snakes may be
divided into two great classes-those which
have the head covered with numerous small
scales and those which have it covered with
large, regularly fitted places. Leaving OUT
the elipIdae and the poisonous sea OF snakes,
with which the hunter will have nothing
to do, all snakes with small head scales
move about by night, and those with large
plates on the head by day. This may be
known by their eyes, for the first have YER
ucaI pupils ike the cats, While those of
The LATER generally circular in form.
The lorg, active day snake, gliding about
from bush TO bush, or hurriedly taking
refuge beneath some protrudng rock or
| tree stump, is harmless. Even should he
lie cooled in the sunshine he Will flee from
approaching danger But a serpent nicely
coiied in some secluded nook, which, in
stead or fleeing, gathers himself closer to-
gether, is most probably dangerous, par
tcularly II he be more or less marked with
u suggestion of irregular croSsbars or whit
lsh or dirty yellow and darker brown or
blacklist. This is the characteristic color

tier. the copperhead, and the moccasin.
The following points embrace all the pc
cullarltles of our American vipers, and the
last two are especially noteworthy as the
GROWING proofs of venom:
% Moving about at dusk or by night
generally on the ground, and very rarely
ascending trees or bushes. % Seldom fy-
ing in alarm, but rather coliing for de-
tense. CD Colors generally subdued in tint
with -5emblance of irregular crossbars of
ilShter and darker shades. "a TAN short.

broad, especially behind 90 Scales keeled,
l. e., each scale has ridge down the mid
die. which gives the skin a rough appear
ance like rasp. 90 Head covered with
small scales, sometimes larger over the
eyes or nose. 90 Eyes with vertical pupils

FROM the London Daily Chronicle.
The following remarkable poem, which has been
sent us by the famous Dutcn novelist Mr. Maar-
ten Martens though do not entirely adspl It's
tone, Will be read by Englishmen as representing
IeellnS that we believe To be universal in Hol-
lana, and to be almost universal the continent;
TO ENGLAND
Greatest of nations! Chosen strength of God!
Imperial servant of divine commands
Within the tranquil hollows of thy hands
Repose the sphered seas the Changeful lands
Are thine. and tracts of empire yet uutrod.
The sword is thine: its splendor flares abroad.
1hou whom the mighty warrior dead Rcclaim,
Wit thou intrust its unpolluted fame
To smooth-faced pirates whose unspoken aim
Is hlthy lucre gained by fOuler fraud?
This people, small in number, great IN love
OF all thou lowest sternly set apart
In self-conceDtred freedom, as thou art,
Pur1tans, pure, thou, in home and heart
Owning no master but your Lord above.
Ere these appeal to Him, hope is yet
In thee. for thou, awakening, wilt hear
This chink of gold; thy righteous heart Will fear
Unrighteous ruin, slowly drawing near.
England, dost thou forget

Birds of Sentiment.
From the Innlnn lNaMa

Have animals instinct merely Have
they sentiment, and can they guide it with
reason? NJ. Milne Edwards, director of
lions in the affirmative. He has long stud
led birds as reasoning beings. He knows
a redbreast that adopted youthful linnet,
deserted by its parents, and gray parrot
that brought up two nests full of young
birds that We're brought to IL. The story
of the two Java sparrows deserves to be re-
peated just as NJ. Milne Edwards gives it:
They were both hens, and in the same
aviary with a parrot which took a dislike
to one of them. One day the parrot picked
a quarrel with one Of the sparroWs, tore
out its feathers. and finally broke its leg
with a blow Of it's beak. The poor little
thing could no longer stay on a perch. 1t
lay shivering on the ground, to the evident
grief OF companion bird. She went about
the aVlary picking up StraWs, feathers and
leaves to make a bed for the invalid She
accomplished wonders of deXterous man
agement In lifting up the featherless suf-
ferer and placing it on the couch. But the
weather was cold at night. The charitable
bird placed itself beside the one with the
broken leg, and extended wing over 1t to
keep 1t warm. The position must have
been uncomfortable, not to say painful, but
M Mllne-E Edwards never came at night to
see how this feathered sister of charity
was behaving without finding it with its
wing lovingly extended. The invalid died
The other bird began to NOPE, lost appe-
tite, withdrew into corner, dropped, and
died also. Was it instinct that prompted
it to make a bed and keep the other bird
warm? No, it was sentiment, and chart
table sentiment guided by reason. That
bird was not merely charitable, but virtu-
Gus, and really deserved the Montyon prize.
