Clothes of Rattlosnalse Skin.

One Of the most remarkable and
most valuable curlosities in the pos
session OF an American gentleman
named Peter Gruber, OF Rochester n.
Y, is complete suit of clothes made
from the skins of rattlesnakes sewed
together. No fewer than 1875 rattle-
snakes were requisitioned to supply
the necessary skins for this purpose.
Four different specimens of rattlers
are comprised In the suit-black,
brown, yellow and gray-and the ju-
dicious arrangement of these varie-
gated skins presents a peculiar and
pretty effect. The buttons are rattle
snakes heads stuffed. and supplied
with brilliant bead eyes. Even Mr..
Gruber's hat and stick are covered
with skins, rendering the attire the
most extraordinary in the world. Its
owner would not part with 1t for any
sum OF money, for 1t Is the only one
OF Its kind in existence.

AGREE TO PRESERVE CANE,
BaroDsaa Nations Interested In Afri-
81 Have q Compact to Protect
Animals,

An act Of great Importance to ali
those who are interested in preserving
from determination the wild animals
OF the world was recently taken by
representatives of the various Euro
pean powers that control territory in
Africa, by which the larger portion OF
that continent becomes, to all intents
and purposes. a vast game preserve.
All game, both great and small, is in
danger of disappearing before the per-
sistence of sportsmen and Of the gath
erers of hides and ivory.
Africa is still rich in animals, birds
and fishes. and by placing certain re-
strictions upon their destruction many
species that would otherwise be ex-
terminated may be fostered and per-
petuated. In London convention was
signed by the diplomatic representa-
tives OF Great Britain, Germany, Spain,
Belgium, France, Italy and Portugal
for the protection of the wild animals,
birds and fishes of Africa, which con-
vention, after being ratified by the
powers, IL to remain in force for Is
years. BY thus acting in concert the
European nations who are most inter-
sstsd In Africa. through their extern
sive colonial possessions, have formed
themselves into powerful game pro-
tective association, with Jurisdiction
over the most extensive game preserve
in the world.
The area over which the provisions
Of the convention fse to apply includes
all that portion of the dark continent
extending from the twentieth parallel
Of north latitude to the southern line
Of the German possessions in south
western Africa, and from the Atlantic
ocean to the Indian ocean and the Red

SMUGGLERS' TRICKS.
New Pier Rule Of Custom House
Puts Them to Their Wits End.
Some Of the Latest DoAges Tried BY
SchsmePs to Cheat the Govern-
nent Ost Of Duties-SAarp.
ness Of the O0oials.

The new rule excluding the friends
of passengers from those parts OF
steamship piers which are required
for the examination of baggage is
defended by the custom house in
spectors as lessening the opportunity
for smuggling, and in connection
with this many good stories are told
of ingenious attempts to rob Uncle
Sam of his duties. says the New York
Mail and Express.
Among others the case is cited of
Albert L. Emanuel, who. on August
l of last year, was met at the North
German Lloyd pier by woman rep
resenting herself to be his wife
While his baggage was being exam
ined Inspector Timothy Donohue saw
him put bracelet on the woman's
wrist. Donohue demonstrated and
the two were detained. IT was a hot
day, and Emanuel had his handker.
chief in his hand. He said to the
woman: You're perspiring. Here,
wipe your facet" at the same time
handing her his handkerchief. If the
couple had not been under surveil
lance il is probable that the action
would have excited no suspicion, rs ii
was done quite naturally. Donohue,
however, was watching them, and he
reached out and snatched the hand
kerchief. remarking: lin rather
warm myself" Pinned to corner of
the handkerchief was diamond
brooch valued at about $1,000. The
man was arrested, tried and convict
ed. He had declared that he had
brought in only lot of stationery,
on which he paid $47.70 duty.
Down at the barge Office they tell
of smuggler who was met upon his
arrival last summer by crowd of 10
relatives, who formed solid wall
around him and his baggage. While
the inspectors were busy elsewhere
he passed around the circle of his
kindred everything of value which
the trunks contained. They hid the
laces under their coats and put on
the jewelry.
Ii was not many months ago that a
wealthy Detroit clothing merchant,
while waiting for his baggage to be
examined, was detected passing val
liable diamond ring to woman who
had met him al the pier. II was the
only thing he was trying 10 smuggle,
and he had purchased i, for the wom-
an. but il was fragrant attempt TO
defraud the government. and the
merchant had to pay fine, besides
losing the ring.
few years ago a passenger was
met most effusiyely by his brother-in-
law. who clasped him in his arms and
kissed him. After greetings had been
exchanged and inquiries made regard
ing the health of the various MEM
bers of the family. the broiher-in-law
started TO leave the pier. This ex-
cited the suspicion of an inspector.
who asked in surprise why he must
go so soon.

the man, nervously. Il cannot wait

SERVANTS OF A NEW KIND.
Supplied by Conditions In
Apartment MT Hotels.

The apartment hotel has been re-
sponsible for many changes in social
conditions, and one of these is the
growth of an entirely new class of
servants, says the New York Sun.
Most of these hotels have suites too
small To accommodate maid if more
than one person occupies them. The
cost of keeping maid under these
circumstances is increased by the fact
that n fixed sum is charged every
week for her meals.
In hotel, for instance, where the
maximum rate is Si2 week for meals.
the maids are likely to cost six or
eight dollars. Combined with the cost
Of lodgings this price practically puts
a female servant beyond the means
of all but the wealthy, as the wages
are SEQ a month, more or less, To be-
gin with.
So the new kind of maid comes either
oy the day or al the times during the
week that she is most required. II
he is not needed regularly. us hap
pens often. She may come two or three
times n week or only on he reception
day of the tenant of the apartment.
The increase in the number of apart
mont hotels has led To grea, demand
tor women OF this kind. One woman
Who foresaw the business To be had
from this class of service has opened
an agency and sends out women for
his irregular work. They are as n
'ule women who prefer to live n home
md are anxious 10 earn some thing To
Increase the family income. They
make money easily in this way, for
heir pay is out of all proportion To
hat made BY the ordinary woman in
'orss;ic service.
They rarely lose n full DAYS EN-
iloymeni IL they want it. and their
'hargcs are never less than 81. 20 day,
YEA for the simplest kind of work.
nd their hours are not more than
rom nine to five. II they come earlier
han nine they leave earlier in the aft
,ruoon.
Some of them refuse to sew unless
he pay is increased. and they some
times receive for attendance at an aft
arnonn tea as much as two dollars for
only few hours work.

SIZE OF RAIN DROPS.
Exact DiAeasiOns Aseer.ained by
MeteOrOi00tss of
Parta,

The Paris Meteorologist Faideau has
undertaken the laborious task of
measuring the dimensions of rain
drops. says the New York World.
He finds that the largest are about
one-sixth of an inch. the smallest one
five-hundredth of an inch. in diane
ter.
They are larger in summer than in
winter. and larger in hot than in cold
climates. AT the moment of con-
densation of the water vapor to the
liquid state great numbers of cx-
close proximity. As they fall they
come together. and coalesce in con-
sequence of mutual attraction. and so
what we call rain drops are formed.
The size of the drop when it
reaches the earth depends on the
height from which it has fallen
Now, in summer the lower strata of
air are warmer than in winter, and
therefore clouds are formed at a
greater height where conditions are
favorab BILE for rapid condensation. The
drops falling from these high summer
clouds have more time to grow, and
therefore become larger than the
winter drops.
In winter. as is well known, clouds
often exist very near the ground.
The velocity with which rain drops
fall depends according to Faideau,
both on their size and on the wind,
which makes them fall obliquely.
Other things being equal, drop of
medium size, say one-fftieth of an
inch in diameter, may strike the
ground with velocity of some 13
feet second, while very large drop,
measuring one-sixth of an inch, may
attain a speed of 3s feet q second.

woMAN's ILL-TREATED EYES.
The Harm Done Especially ~ nel
D1orts to Look 1t the D0ok
Of Her AeaA,

The woman took up looking-glass
about the size of half dollar and
began to twist her neck about in her
efforts to see the back of her head
in the large mirror behind her. The
eye and ear specialist watched her
with lowering brows, says the New
York Sun.
"It's a wonder to me-" he said,
"that half the women in the lanj
are not cross-eyed. The contortions
to which they subject the muscles OF
the eye in their efforts to see them
selves as others see them are some
thing awful.
IF an acrobat ON the stage would
perform with his limbs the feats that
the average woman does with her
eyes, day after day, he would be adj
vertised as a marvel Of agility. But
he couldn't do it. He couldn't
stand it.
"And the women are not going to
stand it always, either. They are
bound to pay the penalty Of their Oh.
r unaaeontical exercise some time.
