cf Mrs Meeker recalls one CT the most
frightful tragedies OF western Iife-the

case is familiar to many residents Of

Wyoming, gives the following graphic
statement of the facts upon which the
proposed appropriation 10 Mrs. Meelzer
is based:
First-That ON September %, 1873.

THE KING SNAKE.

He II che Deadly Enemy of Every
Poisonous Reptile.
OF all kind provisions Of nature per.
haps the manner in which snakes are
brought into the world is the most re.
markable. AS a rule all harmless
snakes are hatched from eggs, arriy-
ing in patches Of from thirty to eighty.
The poisonous snakes, on the other
hand, are born in litters Of from seven
to eleven in number. There are ex-
ceptions to the rule, Of course, but
they are few and unimportant, for,
though the deadly king cobra lays her
eggs to be hatched by the sun, they
are few In number, unlike the colonies
deposited by the harmless snakes.
Chief among the enemies of the
snakes are the reptiles themselves.
Cannibalism is general among the crea-
lures, the smaller snake serving as
food to the larger one. But chief of all
snakes that hunt their own kind for
the pleasure Of slaughter is the long,
slender king snake. q constructor by
habit and fash In his movements
Among all reptiles the king snake
slone may truly be said to be the
friend Of man. He is found through
out the whole south, where the rattler
and moccasin abound, summing himself
and preying Tor slaughter. Picked up
by human hand. the reptile seems
pleased with the touch. He makes
no effort to escape, but twines about
his captor's arm and makes himself
comfortable. s5ss

Companies Are Paid a Lump Sum by
the Government.
Most people who spend $25 a year
for car fare consider that they are con-
Tibuting literally toward the dividends
OF the company" remarked a postal
clerk. "but Uncle Sam spends nearly

Of carriers in street cars in the different
free delivery cities.
"For instance. including substitutes.
there are 275 carriers in Washington.
You may have observed that carriers,
when riding on the surface roads, do
not pay fares either with tickets or in
cash. The free delivery system allots
the Washington city postotfice an an
nuai allowance of $4,000 to be used ex-
clusiyely for the car fare of letter car
rlers. The postmaster is authorized to
make a contract with the companies to
transport all carriers while on duty for

''This rule obtains in some cities,
while in others special tickets are sold
at special rates to be used only by car
riers, or the cash is handed direct to
the carrier for certain number of
daily trips, depending upon the prac-
tice. Thus, while Washington receives
$4,000, Chicago gets $4,000 for letter
carriers car fare because Of it's large
territorial extent and distance between
stations on the prairie, oftentimes ne
cessitating double fare by the car
rier. Boston is allowed $13,5OO and
New York and Philadelphia about $1O,-

government expends such large sum
yearly for such a trivial cause."-

A Very Old Rule.

The oldest mathematic book in the
world is believed to be the ''Papyrus
Rhind'' in the British museum, pro-
fessed to have been written by Ahmes,
scribe of King Ra-a-us, about the pc
riod between 1000 and 100 B. G. This
"Papyrus Rhind" was translated by
Eisenlohr Of Leipsic, and it was found
to contain rule for making square
equal in area to given circle. 1t was
not put forth as an original discovery,
but as the transcript Of a treatise 500
years older still, which sends us back
to, approximately, $500 B. c., when
Egyptian mathematicians solved, or
thought they had solved. the problem
of squaring the circle.
