Pleg, Hoeg and Bacon Meet.

To the casual observer yesterday the
register of the Savoy Hotel looked more
like an inventory book Of a packing
house than a hotel register. Early yes
terday morning a stranger entered the
hotel and signed;

A few minutes later two men stepped
up TO the desk and signed just below
Mr.. Pigg's signature:
30. B. HOgg, Canton, Ohio" and
Brown Bacon, Chicago"
The three gentlemen who attached
such strange namesin iuKtaposltion were
not acquainted with each other, but
when the hotel clerk saw the strange
signatures, the three gentlemen whose
names attracted 30 much attention were
eagerly sought by the curious, and Il was

Carving in Wood.

Wood carving as an occupation
for women is coming to be a rec,
ognized one, as well as a fad for
the society girl whose tastes run
to the utilitarian. The skllfui
handling of the few tools required
and the raDidity with which the
average scholar learns to create
beautifll things from wood, have
made this fascinating study pop
ular among people of refined
tastes. Wood carving is much
more cleal y than painting, just
as refined, and gives as much op-
portunity for the power of ex-
preston.

A Kafar Snake story.

A road party, comprising the
usual gang of from fifty to sixty
kaffirs, with a white man as su
perintendent, was employed on
the construction of a road in Tu
gola Valley, Natal. about thirty
or more years ago. In the course
OF their work they came to a
huge stone which it was necessary
10 remove, but beneath il was the
home of large black mamba,
well knownto the neighboring in
habitants as being old, and,
therefore, very venomous. The
mamba is the most deadly of
the South African snakes, and
the superintendent anticipated
some trouble over that rock. He
offered a bribe for the snakes
skin and the gang "wow'd.| and
sat down to "bema gwi" take
snuff. But a slim youth saunter-
ed forward, and, amid the jeefs
and prOtestations of the rest, de-
clared himself equal to the task.
He took from his neck what look
ed like a bit of shriveled stick,
chewed it, swallowed some of it,
spat out the rest on his hands,
and proceeded to rub his glisten-
ing brown body and limbs all
over. Then taking up his stick
and chanting a song of defiance,
he advanced with ~""at conf
dence and swagger e bowl
der. There he rous up the
mamba, who, In great fury at be-
ing disturbed, bit him III the lip.
The boy took no notice of the bite
but broke the snakes back with
his stick, and, bringi g it to his
master, asked for the reward, OBJ
tanning which he went back to
his work, and the bite of the rep
tile had no effect on him what
ever.
Nobribe, not even that of COW
DIETER than any gold in the eyes
of a Kaffir), would induce the IA
ltive to disclose the secret of his
antidote, which, he said, had been
handed down in his family for
generations The snake was a
very long one, and so old that it
had name. 1t is a well known
fact that certain of the Zulus
have antidotes for the more dead
Sy snake poison, which they pre-
serve as a secret within their own
families.
