KEEPER FACED DEATH
In n Huge Pythons Coils, but Was
 Rescued.


 Either of the ewe big pythons just brought here OH the steamer Afridi, for the Bronx Park zoo, would easily crush the rlDs of horse in it's terrible embrace. One of the serpents is tWen- 6y-seyen feet six inches long, the other is ct least twenty=six feet long, and as big around as water pail Keeper Horan on Wednesday afternoon had q naif minute OF time which could easily have ended his career. Around his body wound coil of the twenty-six- foot python. He was not hurt. Tho other keeper rushed in and as quick as human hands could work released him. But for one instant Horan, ai- most paralyzed by the situation, could not know whether he would sleep that night on his bed or on his bier. There twere two pythons which Koran was directed to measure. The female py- tnon was stretched out at full length and the tape was applied. Then Horan applied the tape to the male python, that also lay stretched out motionless. He had measured off nearly half the length when the huge reptile seemed suddenly to awake. There was shout of warning from Keeper Snyder and the others who were watching the measurement but before Horan could stand erect the whole huge body of the pythcn had suddenly taken life. The great head was suddenly raised, the great mass of rfnged muscle had swept around in living coil, and Horan, pale as death, stood transfxed with terror. Snyder and his assistants dashed into the cage They knew that the reptile was still semitorptd wita cold Fearlessly they caught hold ot the great body and shouted to Horan to jump out of the living circle. He did SO The men left the cage and the python lazily stretched out it's full length and sank again into the torpor -xa cold.-New York Journal.

Peanut Butter.

According to a prominent dealer peanut butter is rapidly becoming an important commercial product. It is made by grinding peanuts very fine and reducing the mass to a paste, from which a large part of the oil is re- moved. A little salt is then added. Many physicians recognize the nutri- tious value of this butter. It has all the wholesome qualities of nuts with out being so indigestible. Peanut but ter is excellent for the poor, too, for it contains quite as much nourishment as ordinary butter and is much less expensive.

sAPPHIRES ARE NOT ALL BLUE

Other Tints Arc Sometimes round
 Among Ceylou Gems.
 It is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as a gem of a 1ieh yelVety blue in color, observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day "As matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for in stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft yelvety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost fault1ess white It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transversely, but having bit of fine blue tint on the under point Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the past ten years. The American gems are light blue, blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country.

in squares and are much larger than
the earrings in use in most civilized

Mrs. Wells on account of their his

country. Gov. Scofield, has satisfied
nearly everybody with his administra-
ton of state affairs and should make an
acceptable candidate for the vice presi-
dency. Such. at least. is the opinion
of a good many republicans in Wiscon-
sin. The governor himself will not dis
cuss the subject. He feels somewhat
delicate about expressing himself there
on, owing to the fact that he has taken
open issue with the national admins
tration on some features of its Philip
pine policy, having publicly declared
against the United States taking pos
session Of the islands. These views, it
is asserted, he has modified since the
party attitude on the issue has become
more clear.

Gov. Edward Scofeld, of Wisconsin,
who has been proposed for vice pres
idential candidate on the republican
national ticket, has all the qualitica-
tions usually demanded in "a good
man for the place." besides many
sterling qualities and abilities which,
as vice president, he would not be
called upon to show.
Wisconsin's governor, says the Chi
cago TimesHerald, is one of those
men whose all around capacities fit
them for almost any station in life.
Ir a caAr ranging from the humble.
though very necessary, position OF
printers devil in the office of a
country newspaper, to that of chief
executive of the great state of Wiscon-
sin, Maj. Scofield has always been able
to do the right thing at the right time.
His political life has been quite brief,
but very successful. He never sought
an Office, but Offices have been brought
to him. and, like the good citizen that
he is, he has never refused to serve

Thus. in 1889. when the people Of
the Oconto district desired him to
come to the capital as the guardian OF
their interests in the capacity of state
senator, he accepted the trust in the
spirit that rendered it. and did not re-
fuse to return when he was asked to
&c so for the next term. In 1894 his
friends desired that he should try for
governor, and he went before the con-
vention. He was defeated. it is true,
but then he received more votes than
any ether of the unsuccessful candi-
dates, and in 1896 he was nominated
and elected and reelected in 1898.
Gov. Scofeld has devoted most of his
life to business and has been singularly
successful in his line. Mis- first attempt
