HOW TO RECOGNIZE DEADLY
 SNAKES

l To distinguish between venomous and harmless snakes is easy in prac- | tice, but it is difficult to explain in words alone, as there Is no one external | characteristic which distinguishes
 them. It is rather peculiar varying
 union of many separate marks that
 brands the dangerous reptile
 General 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 regu-
 larly fitted plates. Leaving out the elapidae and the poisonous sea snake, with which the hunter will have noth- ing 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 vertical pupils like the cats, while those of the latter are gen" erally circular in form. The long, active day snake, gliding about from bush to bush, or hurriedly taking re- fuge beneath some protruding rock or tree-stump, is harmless. Even should he lie coiled in the sunshine he will flee from approaching danger, But a serpent nicely coiled in some secluded nook which, instead of fleeing, gathers himself closer together is most prob ably dangerous, particularly If he be more or less marked with suggestion of irregular crossbars of whtish or dirty yellow and darker brown or blacksh. This is the characteristic coloring of our most dangerous snakes, the rattler, the copperhead, and the moccasin.
 The following point embraces all the peculiarities of our American vpers, and the last two are especially note worthy as the crowning proofs of venom;
 CD Moving about at dusk or by night, generally on the ground, and very rarely ascending trees or bushes. (2.) seldom flying in alarm, but rather coiing for defence. (3) Colors gener- ally subdued in tint, with q semblance of irregular crossbars of lighter or darker shades. (4.) Tail short, body stout, neck thin, head flat and very broad, especially behind. (5.) Scales keeled, i. e, each scale has a ridge down the middle which gives the skin a rough appearance like a rasp. 6) Head covered with small scales. some- times larger over the eyes or nose. co Eyes with vertical pupils like a cats. tS.) Two pits or holes between the eyes and nose, suggesting four nostrils. (9D Two long, curved, perforated fangs in the upper jaw just in front of the eye, one on either side, and so hinged that they lie backward, hidden from view in a membranous sheath, but erectile at will

THE DRIVERS ARE UNDERSTOOD

THE DRIVERS ARE UNDERSTOOD
 Curious feature about freighting on the deserts is the ear that the horses and mules soon acquire for a driver s orders and oaths To the human ear unaccustomed to the desert teamster S jargon, the words seem like a con glomeration of incoherent Mexican, English and Indian. It is useless to try to reproduce the sounds on paper. But all the veteran animals in the team know what the lingo means. Some Mexican teamsters have dozen distinct phrases which they yell at their teams, and each command is al- ways understood. The manager of a mine at Bisbee once explained that the understood so we'll orders from their masters was that they had nothing to distract their attention, and that they felt the blghting scenery and the soli- itude of their lives almost as much as the teamsters and swampers Nearly all the orders to the teams are accom- panied by an oath. The mining camps along the desert are full of stories of teamsters who failed to accompany the commands with oaths and of how the horses and mules failed to respond un- til the accustomed oaths were in cluded-Phoenix (Ariz) Correspon l. ence of the New York Sun.

"wise and prudent" If the "grace and beauty of Jesus Christ shines within, there will come a time when the outer form will be transfgured by the love that is in the heart, and when even the expression becomes refined and beaut1- ful because of the matchless glory of the devout spirit, For the visible church is after all but a filmy veil hid ing eternal glories and the secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him.

mysterious circumstances, within a
few weeks of one another, every miner
In Quesnelle camp was indignant and
every one took an interest in ferreting
the mystery to the bottom. Shortly
afterward the whole details came out,
and now the authorities are investigat-
ing the matter with view to punish
ing the brutes implicated
An old Chinaman, whose family
name was Quong, was the inhuman
father of the two girls, and it was he
who profited by their sale into slavery.
Twenty years ago Quong was among
the first Of the Chinese gold hunters
who went to the rich Cariboo fields,
and there he has lived ever since. For
three or four years he was a prosper
Gus miner among his countrymen Dur
ing that time he managed to save
enough money from his gold-digging
operations to bring out his wife from
China But before this he had taken
another woman in with him on a sort
OF common-law partnership. Before
wife No. l arrived from China, Quong
married this second woman under the
Canadian law. Hers were the children
whom the brutal father sold into slav-
cry. When Quong's first wife arrived
from her home in China Quong evil
IDENTIFY thought that with the two
women he could not be expected to de-
mean himself with work any longer.
So for over ten years Quong has re-
tired from active personal labor. He
forced the two women to wash gold in
his placer claim during the day, and
what few hours they could steal from
the night he compelled them to wash
the miners clothes. Between them
they did the laundry work for the
camp and Quong pocketed the pay.

SOLD HIS CHILDREN.

An atrocious case of the selling of
two Chinese girls as slaves has just
startled the people OF British Colum-
bia. Two little girls Of tender years
were sold by their father with no more
consideration than if they had been
hogs carcasses. Packed in narrow
boxes, they were delivered like live
stock to their destinations. The whole
story is the most brutal of its kind
that ever occurred on the Pacific coast.
The fact that white men are impli-
Gated places a crime of horrible cruelty
in worse light The fact that for
years Chinese women have been sold
as slaves is well known, but the diff
Guilty has always been in fixing the

RATS FOR SNAKES.

Must he Caught Outdoors to Be Ae-
ceptable rood.
Snakes have the sense of smell. 1t
Is difficult to obtain food for rattle
snakes and water-vipers. The owner
of small private collection has been
trying them on the house rats and
mice he has caught about the build
ings. He would leave these in the
snake cage over night and through the
day. They would run over the snake
with impunity. The snakes would pay
no attention to them, but when he
happened to secure some field mice
and put them in the cage, the snakes
ate them at once. He then put in
several rats and mice of the ordinary
house variety that he had caught ouc
OF doors, and these were seized by the
snakes almost as readily as the wild
species. He then conceived the idea
OF making an earth box to keep the
rats in for while before feeding, and
soon found that II they were put in
there for IL hours or so before they
were given to the snakes they would
be eaten. The only apparent explana-
ton is that the smell of the earth is
desirable by the snakes, and that the
smell which the animals acquire about
buildings Is Objectionable.
