PAPERS and politicians who believe
"the King can do no wrong" when
applied to Governor Montague's
actions are in swivel over the pros
pect of Congressional redistricting
bill again coming up before this Leg
islatnre. The movement may have
been conceived for political ends,
but it is as equally certain that the
bill was vetoed by Governor Monta-
que on partisan grounds. An impair
tlal glance at the districts at present
convinces one that the State needs
sadly rearranging, and we hope to
see it done by this Legislature, laying
aside all personal or political feeling
In the matter. Those people and
papers whose toes are trod upon are
doing their bowling in a way hardly
complimentary to their sense of fair
play.

1T NAY be said in connection with
the coming st. Louis Exposition that
Virginia should do her full duty on
account of the moral effect it will
have on the other Southern States.
But, laying aside all sentiment and
state pride and considering it strictly
in the light of business proposition,
a liberal appropriation by the Legis-
lature would be repaid many fold
within the next few years.

ferences seem to have been largely
cemented, but even men and candi-
dates of opposing parties have been
doing the courteous act. All of
which is gratifying and leads TO the
hope that we may yet see elections
and political fights conducted on a
higher plane than heretofore. Here
Is a paragraph from a speech of Col.
Geo. z. Cabell, the close friend of
Governor Montague, in the Fifth
(Swanson's) district:
You ask what am doing here speak

preference, but when some one on the

and are fighting our common enc nv. the

United States Senator Jas. X.
Jones, National Democratic Chair
man, recently called on President
Roosevelt and spent some hours with
him. The Democratic Senator later
spoke IN very commendable terms of
the Republican President. Nearer
home we have had quite pretty de-
monstration of the consideration with
which candidates have treated each
other. Messrs. Jones and Coles. on
posing candidates for Congress in
this district, met a number of
times in joint debate and throughout
IL all IL was a very clean can
vass. Having to speak Monday at
Spotsylvania Courthouse Mr.. Coles
could not get to Northumberland to
cast his vote on Tuesday, but his
competitor agreed to pair with him
under the circums tances.

hand or possibly a feather. This seems to prevent it from curving it's spine and takes away the strength of it's body. With snake in each hand, the per- former will assume various attitudes
 twisting the bodies around her neck or waist or wherever she desires, as by practice she has become quicker than the reptiles and can watch every move ment. The old fashioned performance was merely to pose with two or three snakes
 One of the feats now-a-days is to dump a half dozen rattlesnakes upon the floor of the big cage and make them angry by waving a cloth at them. Jumping among them, the performer seizes two or three of the usliest and holds them up.
 This is not an easy piece of work and more than one of the charmers have been badly bitten in the act. It is not pleasant to the audience to hear the sound of the angry rattlers, which re- sembles a noise from collection of crickets more than anything else.
 Most of the poisonous snakes are se- cured from Florida and the Southwest. Those on exhibition are usually rattle snakes and moccasins, although few of the South American species are sometimes purchased from vessels which have brought them to Southern seaports.
 Python and boas are also included in the snake collection, being used for twisting about pedestals and for posing, as they arn very SluppiSh and are con- sidered practically harmless.
 The snakes require more care than the rest of the collection especially if the weather is cold. They must be kept at a certain temperature, else they will become chilly and this generally results in fever, which may kill them in few hours.
 Every week, usually Sunday, the snake charmer takes her charges and gives them a bath in big tub of milk diluted with warm water in which lit- tie meal is sprinllled, They not only bathe in it, but also feed on the mix ture to a certain extent
 The fluid cleanses their skins and helps keep them in condition, They are dumped into it like so many pieces of rope and when coiled into a big mass can be handled with little danger, as they are too lazy and too contented to be angry and a snake seldom bites ex- cept when in an ugly mood.
 After being in the bath about half an hour it is taken out, carefully wiped and put back in the big box labelled Dangerous Reptiles s"-New York Sun.

this region, where the natives, by req" l son of the topography of the country, 1 had things practically their own way. 1 So, with infinite trouble, two modern
 gunboats were purchased from the shipbuilders of Hong Kong and brought i in small sections to the interior of Min danao.
 With these the Spaniards did good work until word was brought to them, | several months after their government had surrendered to the United States,
 that they were no longer masters of the archipelago. They could not dea- lize the changed condition for time. When they did they prepared the boats so that as little damage as possible
 would be done, and sunk them in the 1 deepest part of the lake. This informa-
 tion 1 had from Lieut. tenant Antonio Valdez, of the Spanish engineer corps,
 who had taken a prominent part in
 taking the boats to the takes. The na- tives were known to make efforts to raise them, but, marvellous divers though they be, the task was too much for them. l have no doubt the United States will raise the boats sooner or later and use them, to some extent, as they were used by the Spaniards."
 Colonel Goodwin concluded with a good story of how a Moro Datto was received on one occasion at Hogan, one of the seaports of Mindanao, by Major W. E. Craighill of the Forty-fourth Volunteer regulars. This officer, who was in command of the port, was once waited on by one of the strongest chiefs of Mindanao, on purely friend- ly mission. The major, wishing to do the proper thing, and having nothing better to offer, ordered a case of ginger beer to refesh his guests. The Datto, however, had not forgotten that injunc- ton in the Koran which forbids all the faithful to drink wine. So he sternly declared that he nor any of his staff could taste the beverage When an in- terpreter was directed to explain to the moralist that the beverage was not in toxicating, he finally agreed to taEe it, and if he found there was nothing evil in the experience, his followers might accept. He gravely drank of the glass offered, and after sedate considera- ton, nodded approval-and so the great Datto and all his staff were inducted into the mysteries of American ginger ale.--St. Louis Globe e-Democrat
