HUMAN EVEN TO SNAKES.
Naturalist Ashamed of His Brutality
in killing Rather.

in killing a RATHER.
Few naturalists have loved nature
and her wild offspring as we'll as John
Muir loves her. He respects the rights
of the humbest of Gods creatures.
Could anything better illustrate the
type of man he is than his account of
the killing of a rattlesnake?
Before l learned to respect rattle
snakes, he says, killed two. The first
bunch-grass on the San Joaquin plain,
and discovered him as | was stepping
over him. He held his head down and
did not attempt to strike, although in
danger of being trampled. At that time.
thirty years ago, l imagined that rat
tlesnakes should be killed wherever
found.
l had no weapon of any sort, and on
the smooth plain there was not stick
or a stone within miles; SO made
ready to jump on him as deer are said
to do. He saw | meant mischief. and
quickly cast himself into coil, ready to
strike in defense. knew he could not
strike when travelling. therefore threw
dirt and grass sods ut him, to tease him
out of coil. He held his ground few
minutes. threatening and striking. and
then started off to get rid of me.
ran forward and jumped on him; but
he drew back his head so quickly my
heel missed, and The also missed his
stroke at me. Prosecuted. tormented.
again and again he tried to get away.
bravely striking out to protect himself;
but at last my heel came squarely
down. sorely wounding him. and few
more brutal stampings crushed him.
felt degraded by the killing business
less of a man and farther from heav-
en-; and made up my mind to try to be
at least as fair and charitable as the
snakes themselves. and to kill no more
save in self-defense.

Against Another Flood.

Derrignan lived in a crippled shanty
which stood in field near the main
highway. The foundations of the house
were lower than the road. through
which ran a great Waterman. AS the
living floor Of the house was raised On
posts to make it level with the high
way. it left large cellar underneath.
where Derrigan kept dozen hens.
One day the Waterman burst. flood
ed the cellar and drowned the hens.
Derrigan Immediately put in Il claim
for damages. After Il long delay and
much trouble. influential friends assist
ed the old man to get twenty dollars in
settlement of his claim.
That evening he saw Mrs. Cassidy.
his neXt-door neighbour, sitting on her
back steps.
Il got me money from the city,! he
called to her.

Recognized Their old Friend.

The love which English people. espc.
cially British soldiers feel for Florence
Nightingale has been shown at many
times and in many places. a new and
striking instance of it was recently
given by the Sunday Magazine.
The late Sir John Steel. sculptor to
Queen Victoria. was modelling Il bust
of Miss Nightingale. when an officer of
one of the Highland regiments which
had suffered so cruelty in the Crimel
heard that the bust had just been com
pleted, and was in Sir Johns studio
Many of the men in his company had
passed through the hospital at Scutari
and he obtained permission from the
sculptor to bring some of them to Sc,
it. Accordingly, squad of men one
day marched into the big studio and
stood in line.
They had no idea why they had been
mustered in so strange a place. With
out word of warning the bust was un
covered. and then. as by one impulse
the men broke rank. and with cries OF
Miss Nightingale, Miss Nightingaler
surrounded the model. and with hats
off cheered the figure of their devoted
nurse until the roof rang
SO spontaneous and hearty and so in
spring was the whole scene that in
after days Sir John Steel declared II
to be the greatest compliment Of his
life

against waist lacing. which is a greater
menace to the human race than foot bind
ing. 1t shocks Chinese woman just as
much to see laced waist as it does Il
Caucasian to look at bound foot.
The Emperor Shun Chin. who reigned
from 1914 to 1862. issued an cdict against
this fashion, positively prohibiting it, but

der the last Emperor of the Sung dynas-
ty. This Emperor had ii beautiful wife,
who delighted to please him by dancing
To make her feet look more beautiful,
she used to bind them with strips of satin
until they resembled a crescent moon or
Il bent bow. Thus the fashion began.
During more than thousand years 1t
became general. and what was intended
first for beauty became a defOrmity.
The methods of binding in vogue in
China and the period of commencing the
practice vary. but the bandages are APP
piled at from ) to s years of age. The
general process consists of two stages. y
piece of strong cotton CLOTH about two
yards long and three inches wide. is first
bound around the foot. leaving the great
toe free. and doubling the others under
the sole so that the toes of the right foot
peep out under the left or inner side Of
the foot and the same method is reversed
for the left. This reduces the width.
Each succeeding day the bandage is
frightened both morning and night. For
many months after the binding is COM

up and down on her aching feet to pre-

This process of binding continues for
one year. The next stage is the shorten

then so arranged as to,draw the teshy
part of the foot and the heel close to-

ANCIENT ANCESTOR OF
TIE MODERN HORSE.

The accompanying illustration is re.
produced from a photograph of Il wa
ter color, painted by Charles II.
Knight. 1t is based upon Il mounted
skeleton of the animal in the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History. and
represents. according to the artists
idea. what the oldest known ancestor
OF the modern horse looked like when
it roamed over our country some mil
lions of years ago. This animal. called
oy the scientists protorohippus. was
only sixteen inches in height. and it.
moreover had four toes on its feet. 1t
differed. therefore. markedly from the
existing horse, so much so. in fact,
that if the intermediate forms were
not known not even scientists would
suspect any relationship between the
two. But the horse is the evolution
lists show animal. Its ancestral line
has been better worked out than that
of any other mammal. and. rather
strange to relate. the evidences of this
ancestry are more complete in America
than in any other country, though
the present horse Is not indigenous to
the soil, the horse line on this continent
having become extinct in plestocene
times before, so far as we know, the
advent Of man.

LAYING A CABLE.
Materials Required for the Construc.
ton of the New Pacific Line.

For the manufacture of the proposed
Pacific cable-the largest in the world
an enormous amount of material will
be required. Ii is estimated that there
will be needed 1859 tons of copper wire.
1,26O tons of gutta percha. 300 tons Of
iute yarn, 1900 tons of compound and
tar and 12,OOO tons of steel wire. The
laying of the cable will take four spe-
cially constructed ships and Il staff of
1.oOO electricians. cable engineers, cite.
The rate of laying Il cable. in the alb
sence of unforeseen difficulties. is about
seven nautical miles ali hour and in Il
couple of thousand fathoms of water
the cable takes as long as three hours
to sink to the bottom. When Il cable is
paid out it runs over Il wheel at the
stern of the ship, having to pass on its
way from the tank where it has been
coiled through a dynamometer, which
tells the strain to which it is being sub
jected.
AS soon as all the cable on board Il
cable ship has been paid out the end is
sealed carefully and attached TO Il rope
the other end of which is attached to Il
buoy and dropped into the sea. The
vessel then returns to port for more
cable with which she SteamS off again
to the scene of operations, picks up the
/ buoyed end, carefully spices it to the
end of the new section which she has
/ brought out and goes on with the lay
ing as before.
To land cable some interesting
preparations are made. Sheaved wheels
are anchored on shore and around them
a line is passed and carried back to the
cable ship. To this line the end Of the

INF ORTEO FROM THE ORIENT.
"Chit," Praiseworthy Institution,
EnfOrces Honesty in Servants.

"Chit," "a Praise worthy Institution,
Enforces Honesty in Servants.
What is "chit:" This is Il word that
has crept into the English languag.
of recent years. and, although fairly
common in Englanu. its use in this
count date froil tie Philippine cam

still mo. rec mt ..Ai. i%ration of Japan

after delivering whatever he had
brought would hand the recipient a
small slip of paper upon which appears
in the handwriting Of the sender the
number and description of the articles
sent with Il polite request that. in case
you found the articles as stated, you
sign the slip of paper and deliver it
back to the servant. This form of re-
ccipt is Il chit"
The sender also asks in the chit
that in case the articles are not deliver

the sender should neglect to send Il
