HYPNoriZED BY A SNAKE.


n NtptiltS ROVER To Shafh tFOV6h
In Pennsylvania.
The power of a snake tic charm was
proven by a snake near here the other
day, writes a MeConnellsville, Pa.
correspondent. Miss Lavinia Long
was returning from here to her home,
west Of the Ridge. and as she became
tired walking she sat down upon a
rock beside the turnpike, between the
farms of J. X. Tritle and Mis-. Sum
mers. In a few minutes a large black
snake, of the racer species. came down
from the high bank a'ong the road and
approached to within a couple Of yards
OF her. and erecting the fore part Of
its body stared her straight in the
eyes,. its head gently swaying to and
fro.
Miss Long says she became almost
helpless, a benumbed feeling took pos
session OF her; she was scared. but did
not seem to be able to move and could
not TAX her eye away from the gaze
or the reptile. which became immov-
able and made not a sound. With a
strong effort the young woman arose
and got upon the fence. the racer
stealthily following her, its eyes fixed
upon hers and its tongue darting in
and out in a b%ewildering manner. Just
as Miss Long began to feel dizzy and
drowsy, fairly h%ypnotized, a team ap-
preached, and at the noise the snake
glided off. Miss Long nearly lost con-
seriousness when rescued, and since her
experience has been so nervous that 1t
is almost impossible for her to sleep.
The men in the team saw the snake,
but could not catch 1t.

USES OF RAWHIDE.
CoEwheeis Are Mad. Of It. Also MaIIets
and Mauls.

CoEwheeis Are Mad. OF II, Also MaIIets
and MauIs.
One of the most curious OF the
many things made nowadays of raw
hide" said a man who handles such
articles in his business. lis the raw
hide pinion, or %cogwheel. You might
think that the teeIn Of such a wheel
would break down and wear of quick
err than those of an iron wheel: but as
a matter of fact they do not break,
and a rawhide pinion will wear as long
as an iron pinion. il not longer. Such
pinions are made OF many layers OF
rawhide pressed solidly together, and
bolted through and through to metal
plates placed on the sides. The teeth
cut across the face of the wheel thus
formed are. of course. each composed
[. many layers of the thoroughly COM
pacted rawhide standing edgewise.
Rawhide pinions are used for many
purposes. One of their great advant-
ages is found in their noiselessness.
They are used in machine shops
against iron gear, so as to make less
noise; they are used for motor pinions
on street railway cars, and so on.
Another rather curious though now
somewhat common use for rawhide is
in the making of mauls and mallets
ihaving heads of %rawhide. and hide
faced hammers. These are put to a
great variety of uses. as for pounding
On dies and punches and on polished
metal surfaces. Rawhide is used for
bell cord in street cars, for all manner
OF straps and for shoe and boot laces.
1t is used in the manufacture of arti-
fetal limbs, and for trunk handles and
for trunk binding. for washers, for
many sorts of harness and saddlery
goods, and for whips and ~lariats, and
not the least Of its uses is in the man

THE MATCH INDUSTRY.

Hundreds of Millions of Them Manu-
featured Daily.
In the manufacture of the millions
or matches used every day in the
United States, only a few factories are
engaged. In New Jersey there are tw q
factories with a capacity together of
100000, 900 matches a day. The larp-
est factory in the country. at Perber-
ton. o., can turn out 100, OOO, 900 match
es a day. probably a seventh Of the en-
tire consumption.
This country has a great advantage
In the abundance of aspen, which tree
Is superior to all other timber for
matchmaking, on account of its ma
tural qualities and the ease with which
1t Is worked. 1t is light, spongy and
splints easily, and though pine, linden,
birch and other woods are also Used in
this and other countries, aspen is pre-
ferred to them all. European match
manufacturers have been engaged in a
scramble for years past to secure a suf-
icient quantity of aspen to supplement
her W supplies.
How many matches are used in this
country daily is not known, but IL we
gure on the British basis of eight
matches per capita o day the home
consumption is 61O,4"- 96 matches a
day. This enormous fl u:e may be &C.
cepted as approximately the home
consumption of homemade matches,
in addition to the foreign matches that
are found in all Of our markets, but
1t by no means represents our total
output for a considerable quantity of
American matches are sold in Euro
pean and other countries.

When Rood Rivers (Or.) most sue

the Hood river farmers SIS, 900 in hard
cash, and there is ' IN acre in
