SNAKES AT THE zoo.
Armies of Small Live Reptiles Need to
Satisfy Their Appetites.

Snakes are very susceptible to the
kind of food given them, and they
prove extremely fastidious creatures
when held in captivity. Itisimpossi-
BILE to supply some of the reptiles
with the special food they like, and
substitutes are not taken kindly to
at first. Thus the big cobras in their
native haunts live chiefly on other
snakes-the small harmless varieties.
1t is manifestly impossible to secure
sufficient small snakes to supply these
voracious eaters at all seasons of the
year. Nevertheless, the keepers of
the Central park menagerie, New
York, make great efforts to collect
small snakes for the valuable cobras.
These come from different points in
considerable numbers, shipments
often amounting to as high as $50
at time. Fed on these live snakes,
the cobras thrive in captivity and
appear satisfied with their lot; but it
becomes necessary to appease their
appetite with rats and mice when
snakes are scarce. While new cobras
will not touch these rodents when
they are first placed before them,
they can sometimes be enticed to swal-
low them when tied to the tail of a
small snake or even when stuffed in
the skin of deadreptile.
Other snakes, says the Chicago
Daily News, are fed mostly on toads,
mice and rabbits. Even English spar
rows are purchased in considerable
numbers for the reptiles. The aver
age prices paid each year for these
snake foods are two cents each for |
sparrows, four and five cents each for
toads and frogs and two to three cents
for live mice. At these quotations
many boys make quite little pocket
and the park managers find
the supply at times greater than the
demand, so eager are the youngsters
to feed the snakes. In the winter sea-
son, however, it sometimes becomes
q question of considerable importance
how to secure fresh food for the rep
tiles. At one time more than a dozen
rattlesnakes had to be killed because

A NATIONAL CEMETERY.

Facts About Burials in Arlington Little
of the Space Occupied.
Though one-tenth of the available
space in the Arlington national GEM
etery will probably never be occupied
by grave Sites" explained one of the
officials of the cemetery to Washing
ton Star reporter, cit is surprising
how many have been buried there in
late years outside of those who came
in in consequence of the Spanish
American war When the cemetery
was laid out the Spanish war was not
anticipated, but when the burials in
connection Herewith began it was
soon found out that there would be a
number, and special site was selected
for them. Outside of the latter the
rest OF the cemetery is occupied main
ly by those who died in connection
with the civil war. Congress by Civ
ing the right to nurses who served
during the civil war increased very
considerably the number of grave
sites that have to be provided for.
The old veterans are steadily coming
into their last homes, gradually find
ing their way there, and there is
scarcely day that one or more burials
do not take place. Indeed, for the
past two or three months three or four
each day have had to be provided for.
1t may not be generally known that
veterans are allowed to select their
own grave sites, but such is the fact,
and already there are several hundred
grave sites selected. As a rule, the
old veterans, for they are old now, Sc

ances rest. Outside of those who die
An this city there are numbers who
come from other sections. The books
show large number of sites that have

jtion. Many of these are in what is
called the new section,
though it is not newer in any sense
than any other part. Gen. Miles has

auently visited it. Around him will
be the graves of number of those
who served with him. In the ordi-
nary course of things almost all the
veterans of the civil war will be buried
inside of the next ten or Is years,
though few may, be fortunate
enough to extend their time a few
years further Of course, all the vet
Grams of the civil war will not be
buried at Arlington, but it is safe to
say that majority of the officers who
are still in the army and navy will
eventually come there. There are
about 1850 graves at Arlington
now, and if necessity arose 200, 900
could be buried there"

A Fine Address.

Our predition is, that if Rev.
Ira Landritih, OF Nashville, editor
of the Cumberland Presbyterian,
ever returns to the city to make a
temperance speech he will have to
Stake to the the woods" to find
room for the crowd. His talk
last night, the last night of Synod,
was one Of the best ever heard in
this section.
He is man of pleasing and fine
appearance, and as an orator is
the peer of any in the state. He
is thoroughly acquainted with the
evils of the open saloon and has
the courage to tell it. The talk
was enjoyed by large congrega-
ton and many pronounced it the
best speech of the kind ever heard.
Rev. Landrith goes to Rives this
afternoon where he speaks to the
pupils of the Rives Graded School.
He will likely remain here for
few days.~and enjoy a short trip to
Reelfoot lake.
Brother Landrith at the close of
his remarks delighted his hearers
by announcing that the Peeler bill
would certainly become a law dur
ing the session of the next legisla-
ture. He said he knew exactly
what he was talking about, and
that there would be elected next
Tuesday twenty two senator's who
are pledged 10 work and vote
and do all in their power for the
Peeler bill and all other temper
ance reform measures.
Rev. John Royal Harris was
called to his home on account of |
the death of one of the members
in his church, and Brother Land
rith filled his place on the pro.
eramme.
The Synod this morning selected
Monterey as the best place to hold
the next annual meeting.

SHE COLD KEEP A SECRET.
Woman Who Lived and Died Without
Once Telling Her Age.


The one secret that women know
how to keep, is, according to unkind
critics, that of their age, says the Bal
timore News. They will tell every
thing else that is entrusted to their
keeping, but never, even in moment
of expansive indiscretion, will they
be induced to reveal the number of
their years.
Of course, this isn't always true.
Many feminines tell their ages and
those of their women friends with as
much freedom as their brothers would
give the same intelligence concerning
themselves, but one elderly lady who
recently died was, in the matter of
secretiveness, marvel to her ac-
quaintances.
No one except her brothers andsis-
tiers knew her age. Her husband did
not, though she was married to him
30 years or more. When the mar
riage license had to be bought the
bride vouchsafed the information that
she was "more than 49," That was
all; so the hardhearted best man put
her down as rs years of age,
In the years that followed she
never spoke of her birthdays. Once,
when she was asked if she was born
in June, she replied that she didn't
remember. The natal days of others
in the family were celebrated, but
hers never, She would talk well on
any subject in the world but ages;
on this she was absolutely dumb.
Before she died she made single
request other husband. ''Plsase don't
allow any date to appear i" the obit
uary notices or on my tombstone"
she asked, 81 don't like dates"
And so her secret died with her,
and, though her women friends sur
missed that she must be at least ten
years older than her husband to JUS
THY this sensitiveness, it is quite pos
siblethat she was nothing of the sort.
She did not look it. She merely had
a horror of being reminded of the
passage of time.
This was, Of course, a very unusual
case, but it isfspfficient evidence that
a v, WOnan can keep secret and she
will.

The United States consumes nor Q
