A SNAKE CHARMER.
missioner, Wins Distinction
in Kentucky.

"Do you know that Proctor used to
be n famous snake charmer?" said u
visitor to a Cosmos clubman as they
looked across the room toward John
II. Proctor, civil service commissioner.
"No." was the brief response. How
did that happen?" "Well," said the
visitor, Il went to Kentucky to make
n sale of a large tract of valuable ore
producing land in the mountains, and
Proctor, being state geologist at that
time, was to do the prospecting, and
so on.
"While we were going up a mountain
road one day | saw huge black snake
coming toward us, and just as he ar
rived at uncomfortable range Proctor
stopped down, with eyes upon it, and
slowly reaching down began to stroke
the snake upon the head Before
could quite recover from the nervous
chill it gave me Proctor had that snake
coiled up into n neat package and was
transferring it to his saddle pockets.
The rest of the journey was a rather
nervous one for me, but Proctor kept
things lively with string of jolly
snake stories"
"Well," laconically responded the
Cosmos clubman, that's good, and for
Kentucky, too"

NAVY SMoKELESS POWDER.
To he Investigated by the Depart-
mcnt-Believed to Have De-
Perforated In Quality.

II is proposed by the navy depart
mcnt to make an investigation of the
character of the smokeless powder
at present used in the service. This
is result of the accident which re-
Gently befell a 13-inch gun of the
Kearsarge. There is a suspicion that
the smokeless powder has deterior-
ated to a degree which makes it a
dangerous composition.
Some such experience befell the
smokeless powder adopted by the
army, and it was found necessary at
that time to destroy large quantity
of the material, which was found un-
safe to use in the army guns.
The navy smokeless powder is
made by different formula, but
there always has been suspicion of
smokelcss powder, which is com
paratively new composition and is
deemed by the experts to be still in
an experimental Stage. If the in
vestigation shows that the navy
smokeless, powder has deteriorated
to degree of unsafety it will be a
serious matter for the service. All
of the ships are using this material
and its rejection at this stage will be
costly matter.

RUSSELL SAGE
Predicts that Another Black Friday Is Near
al Hand.

New York, May Russell Sage to-
day declared in emphatic words thai
he believed the financial world was on
the verge of another BLACK Friday
which would prove the most disas-
trous in the country's history. Mr..
Sage was in unusually good spirits and
gave other indications that he was on
the right side of the market"
"'The public has become strongly
speculatively mad" said he when his
opinion was asked on the present con-
ditions of the stock market. 1T is
unprecedented in the stock market.
But there is nothing to warrant this
remarkable imitation of stocks.
ANOTHER ONE COMING.
Another Black Friday is pending.
1t will be the worst our financial world
has ever known. Anyone who knows
the value of stocks and studies the
prices at which many of them are sell
ing today cannot fail to realize this.
When the drop sets in and the public
has had its fill the consequences will
! be awful. 1t may mean ruin for
thousands. | don't think it is very
far away, either.
There is no reason for this remark

ATCHISON

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press,
New York, May 2.-Atchison stocks
took the leadership of the market to-
day away from the Union Pacific.
During the most of the day the vol
ume of transactions in the two COM
mon stocks ran a close race, but deal
ing in Acthison common and preferred
easily outstripped those in the two
Union Pacific stocks.
The heavy preponderance of total
transactions in the whole market CEN
tered on these stocks. The movement
in Atchison is supposed to be due to
the new phase of the struggle between
Granger trunk lines to secure for
themselves compensatory advantages
to offset the Burlington deal. The
extreme range of Union Pacific was
six points and the net loss was 1as i.
Atchison advanced an extreme IFS,
and closed within a fraction of tho
best. The stocks included in the Bur-
lington deal, Erie stocks not excluded,
were notably heavy. Profit taking
and the Wilderness of U. S. Steel
stocks had a large sentimental in
! nuence on the whole market.
Except for few special points of
strength the market was on the whole
reactionary. The closing market was
easy and almost weak, except for the
final squirt in Atchison.
Union Pacific convertible bonds con
tinued very active and the bond mar
ket was otherwise irregular. U. S. re-
funding IS coupon declined rs, IS Il

ENGLISH VITAL STATISTICS.
The Marriage Rate in 1890 Was the
Highest which Has Been Re-
corded since 1870.

The record of births, marriages
and deaths in the United Kingdom
for the year 1899, which has just been
issued, shows that the marriages
numbered 262 1874, which is the high
est rate since 1876, and gives a rate
of 16.5 married out of every 1000.
There were 1853 divorces granted One
hundred and seventy-nine of these
persons married again. The births
numbered 92S,646, or a rate of 29.3
per 1000 of the population, The
deaths numbered 5s1,700, or rate
of 1873 per 1000. Eighty-nine thou
sand two hundred and thirty-tive
deaths were due to zymotic diseases
and Al, 2,4OS to pulmonary phthisis;
2.121 men, and 72s women committed
suicide. This was the first year on
record where there has not been a
single death from hydrophobia, and
this is regarded as a justification of
the stringent measures for the muz-
ding and quarantining of dogs.

Lemon Water For Biliousness

There are thousands of bilious
people in the world, and the vast
maj ority of them have inherited
it, like myself, from their ancestors
and for these / write this, and say,
drink lots of lemon water, but be
sparing with the sugar. l use
enough to make it palatable, but
drink plenty. It's the best drink,
anyway, to my mind, that man
ever concocted. On hot days l
have drank two quarts full. The
philosophy of it is; The acid
water dilutes the excess of bile in
the system and washes it out, and
it does the business. The lemon
is wonderful fruit, the only fruit
that bears all the time-all the
year around, and when its wonder
ful medicinal properties are better
understood, will be more largely
used.--Range Ne,os.

There has been considerable
inquiry for a method of measuring
hay in the stack. / enclose copy
of bill recently introduced by
myself and passed in the legisla-
ture of New Mexico
Section /. The following rule
and method ofmeasuring loose hay
in the stack, and specifying the
eubieal contents Of ton of loose
hay is hereby established;
Section 2. Measure the stack
for length, width and the "oyer."
To get the ''over" throw tape
line over the stack at an aveage
place from ground to ground,
drawing it tightly. Multiply the
width by the "over" and divide
this result of division by the length
for approximate cubical contents
of stack. To reduce to tons, for
hay that has stood in stack for less
than twenty days divide cubical
contents by 5l2; for more than 20
days and loss than sixty days, di-
vide the cubical contents by 422;
for more than sixty days, divide
cubical contents by $50. Ex-
ample: Stack measures II feet wide
So feet long and 36 feet over. Stack
has stood fifteen days. Multiply
IL by Sc, equals 6l2. Divide 6l2|
by 4, equals l53. Multiply l53 by
length, 5S, equals 1874, which
gives cubical contents in feet. Di-
vide s,S74 by 5l2, equals 17.9 tons
in stack. / have carefully tested
this rule on several different stack
and kinds of hay. Hay measured
in the stack under this rule will
bale out in weight to within five
per cent of its measurement, which |
is far closer than any other rule ofI
measurement. / have been able to |
get hold of, and in drawing up this
law and the investigation preced-
ing it, secured over so different
systems of measurement from al
most every part of the United
States. / believe this rule will
prove as nearly correct as it is pos
sible to be figured out, and hope it
may prove of interest to your read
ers.--Wm. 9. Barnes, Calfax Co.,
