THE DEADLY COBRA.
How VenOnous Creature Is Handled
by Hindoo Snake Chnrmers.

The creatures were ON the defensive,
but not one of them attempted to
strike at the master, who sat serenely
In front Of them, so long as he did
nothing to annoy them. Kullan talked
TO them as IL they were his dearest
friends. After time one or the other
of them would lower its head, collapse
its hood and begin to try to wriggle
away. Whereupon Kullan would give
it smart little rap on the tail with
his stick and bring it instantly to at
tentlon again. Whether this man pos
sessed any special magic over these CO.
bras or whether the description given
below OF how he could handle and play
with them was simply due to his meth
Cd | cannot say. He himself repudia-
ted the Idea of magic and asserted pos
itively that any one who had the nee
cssary nerve and deXterity could 10
exactly the same.
He used no reed instrument or mu-
sic of any kind to propltiate the rep
tiles. He would simply squat on his
| launches in front of them, and, after
they had been kissing and swaying
| their uplifted heads backward and for
ward for few minutes, he raised his
hands above their heads and slowly
made them descend till they rested on
the snakes heads. lie then stroked
them gently, speaking all the time In
the most endearlng IIindoostanee
terms. The serpents appeared spell
bound. They made no effort to resent
the liberty, but remained quite still,
with heads upllfted, and seemed rather
to enjoy II. Presently his hands would
descend down the nccks about three
inches below the heads, his fingers
would close loosely around the necks.
and he would lift them off the ground
and place them on his shoulders. The
looseness of the grip appeared to be
the main secret The snakes, being In
no way hurt, would then slowly crawl
through his fingers and wind them
selves round his neck, his shoulders
and his arms They appeared to real
lie that no harm was to be done them,
and they made no effort TO resent
the handling. He would pick them
gently off one arm and place them on
the other and, In fact, stroke them and
pet them as If they had been pair
of harmless worms ornhill.

Special Town Meeting.

The special town meeting held in
Coburn Hall, last Saturday afternoon,
was attended by about $50 people. S.
W. Gould, Esq. officiated as moderator.
The committee composed of r. L.
Mitchell, G. j. Abbey and c. f. Young,
appointed at the regular meeting to look
into the matter Of stone crusher SUBJ
mitted their report as follows
First-That to repair the old crusher
in first class shape would require an ex-
pediture of about two hundred and fifty
dollars ($250); to add to said plant
portable engine, elevator, screen, plat
form over crusher and storage bins, and
install all in first class shape, would cost
about nineteen hundred dollars, Isl, 300.
To turn In the old crusher as it is
towards the purchase Of complete new
plant, would make the cost of said new
plant about twenty-three hundred
dollars, ($2, 300).
Second-The committee find after an
interview with representative Of one of
| the leading stone crusher companies,
that with this new plant, the town by
expanding the same amount of money
that is now used in operating the old
plant, will be able to turn out sixty per
cent more stone. Or in other words, If
the old plant should run thirty DAYS each
year turning out its maximum output of
2,250 tons of stone, the new plant would
be able to do this same work at the same
expense per day, in nineteen days. The
town would save by this arrangement
about one hundred and seventy dollars
per year, which in three years would
more than compensate for the difference
in cost between the old and new plants
to say nothing about the difference in
cost for repairs between the two plants,
which must necessarily be less in the
new plant than in the old.
| Third-That the present location of
| the stone crusher, owing to the limited
space for operating the same, aud for
storage of rocks and crushed product,
not only limits the capacity of the
crusher, but makes the cost of the pro-
duct nearly twice what it would be in a
suitable location.
The committee therefore recommend
that the town, by a special committee
duly authorized, purchase and install in
complete new crushing plant, upon a
suitable location, so that the stone can
be hauled and stored at all seasons of the
year.
Upon motion of Lewis Anderson it
was voted to accept the report of the
committee, carrying with the same the
vote to have this same committee act in
carrying out the suggestions made in
their report, and the selectmen were
authorized to hire sum of money not
80 exceed 81 500 for that purpose.
1t was also voted at this meeting to
build sewer on Free St., as asked for
by the article in the warrant, to connect
with the sewer on East Front ST., and
the selectmen were authorized to hire
the sum of 5000 for that purpose.
1t is probable that the new stone
crusher when it arrives, will be located
on lot in the immediate vicinity of where
the Weston saw mill formerly stood.

THIRTY FUNNY CLOWNS.

The circus clown is TO have his inning

| big show, which will exhibit in this city

] ture. in multiplied number and glory, of
! the Ringlings' performance. Ofelate years,
/ to the regret of older folk and the real
sorrow of the children, who thought his
quips were about the funniest things ever
heard, the sportive clown has been crowd
/ ed out of the arena.
Although the clown still wears the mot
~ costume which characterized his dress
I in the days of royal favor, he has changed
a whole lot when il comes to detailed
manners of entertainment. Years ago IL
was between the rests OF the bareback
riders that he cut up didoes with the ring
master, and got sharp crack of the whip
for his gOod-natured fOOlery Once in a
while ne came on as a dUli-iOOking cOun-
tryman who had taken more hard cider
| than was good for him, and undertook
TO ride crazy-headed pony. But now he
! is loaded down with accomplishments and
must not only be able to grimaCe and jest
effectively, but in addition. be able to
tumble, jump, ride, and do numerous
other things.
In the Ringlings' circus there is said to
be at least thirty of these droIl fellows
nor are all of them OF the traditional
white-face, streaked in red and black and
loosely dressed in the costume of dotted
white Some appear as tTampS, some as
stage Dutchmen and Irishmen. some as
policemen. some as overgrOwn boys, some
as dudes. some go so far as to don biza RE
effects in the dress of the other sex
The noisy efforts of all these curiouslv
CARRIED clowns may pail upon some whose
appetites are jaded from over-indulgence
in the luXurieS of life, or whose milk of
human kindness has been soured some
what by the ups and downs OF life's
stormy course; but these are not in the
majority, and the world has plenty left
besides the children who would be glad
to see the old-time clown again and greet
him cordially
