Naturaists are not at all agreed up
on the point as to whether snakes are
able to faacinate their prey. Certainly
they DO not possess the power to the
extent that popular belief would have
it. Stories Of the weird and mystic
influence Of a serpent's eye fall fiat in
the face Of scientific accuracy. What
can be said of snakes, however, is that
their very appearances paralyzes the
victim. It cannot move for fright, for
its faculties are temporarily suspended
There is no fascination about this,
however. 1t is fright ana fright alone

nom variety of causes. In all in
stances tn breeders skill an selecting
and mating has been a controlling fac
tor, while other influences have more
or less assisted. IN some Instances the
function Of The animal, o. he work it
Is called upon to do, has tad strong
influence. This is evident in the in
stance Of the running horse, the trot-
ting horse and the dairy COW, where
the form or the type has developed
from the junction. In other instances
the environment has aided man in his
work Of selection, and this IS notably
true Of sheep. The aaap.aJilty Of
sheep for different attitudes OF land
enables us TO divide them into loWldud
breeds, upland or down breeds and
mountain breeds, and it is connected
with the subject of breed type, for the
environments Of such luud develop the
type that does the best upon them.
The loWllnd breeds are large, square
and strong framed, and are heavy
producers of wool and mutton. The
down breeds are smaller but rounder
and more compact, with fleece, frame
and mutton Of better quality. the
mountain breeds must have more Vigor

disposition, with strong limbs and
muscles, are of more Importance than
the other features that are character

the type that he has found character
istic of the breeds by celebrating
scales Of points representing features
OF the types desired, and toward the
production OF those ideal types all
breeders bend their energies.
The type Of The breed having been
decided upon BY all the breeders, i.
Should be the aim of the breeder and
the judge to recognize it, for, aside
from an Acknowledgement of the
wishes of the bro der. it is a point OF
direct value to do so. When breed
has been uniformly bred to type for

type has become so fixed that it is
uniformly transmitted. Two Of the

The Parcels
Post System.

The following editorial from the
GAINESVILLE Banner is so forcibly
put and so completely comedies
with our views upon the subject
that we gladly give it in full and
ask IA careful perusal by our readers:
The mail order and department
stores Of the country, aided and
allotted by some sundry organiza-
tons are making an effort TO have
Congress pass II parccls-post system
to be operative thruout the
country, the object being to Sc
cure Il cheap postal rate on parcels
Of merchandise. The passage of
this bill means death to the country
merchants, who are already suffer
ing because of the inrOads made ON
their business by the mail order
houses. This parccls-post system
will be at the expense of the coun-
try merchants, for the benefit of
the city mail order houses and de-
partment stores. The country mcr-
chants at best are barely keeping
even, and the passage of this bill
will drive many of them from bus
mess into other pursuits. 1t is re-
markedly strange that some organ
lzatiOns composed principally of
farmers are petitioung Congress for
the passage of this bill The farm
er who petitions for the passage of
this bill is simply signing his own
death warrant, and doing it in the
interest of an unseen and unknown
set of men who are merely fishing
for his money. The country mcr-
chants are the farmers best friends
Take for instance the merchants OF
this town. Every farmer in the
surrounding community knows
them personally and knows that he
gets value received for his money
spent at their stores. They have
credited the farmers when their
crops were short, and befrieudpd
them in Il thousand ways, and al
ways sold them reliable goods.
Whenever the farmers send their
money to Chicago it never finds It's
way back to GAINESVILLE again.
They pay for the goods before they
examine them. When they have
succeeded in driving the country
merchants from their places OF bus
mess back to the farms perhaps
they will find themselves entirely
dependent upon the mail order
houses and will have to accept
whatever they are willing to give
them. The parcels-poSt system
will tend to concentrate capital in Il
few hands instead Of distributing 1t
among the people. Every country
merchant should sign petition to
Congress opposing the passage of
this bill, and he should see that his
farmer friends have also an oppor-
tunlty to sign it.
