MUSIC OF THE CUBANS.
1t Is Even Worse Than the Horrible
Noises Made by the AL
GerianS.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer
ence for such music as is made by
a band composed of stamp-mill
sort of crank piano, pair Of sugar
kettle tOm-tOms and a man with a
horse-radish crater called a giro"
and a fiat file with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing a dis
cordant potpourri that might easily
dislocate the teeth of any self-respect-
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
Cubans fancy it is even worse than
the finger-drumminC and wire-snap-
ping musical murders committed in
Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chantantes. The lauded but lugubri-
Gus Cuban national hymn is best es-
teemed when performed by one of
these bands of inharmonic banditti,
and the national dance, that monoton-
Gus combination of motions that sug-
gests that the dancer is trying to shoe
a flea off the small of his back and
also 90 easy on a stone-Eruised heel,
can only be adequately performed to
the music of these African agitatOrs of
cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin,
The truth is the Cubans will have to-
learn music all over again.

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
A Frenehmnn Who Was Credited
with Killing 10000 VenOmOus
Reptiles.

1t is not well known that certain
parts of France are infested with
poisonous serpents, against which
warfare is waged by state-paid SER
pent hunters. They are killed in
thousands, and the price per head
is 21Ad. There was some time ago
a famous serpent killer in the forests
Of southampton. John Milly, who in
~ years Of hunting killed more than
$4,000 vipers, says the London Tat
tier. A Frenchman named Courtol,
who hunted in the Loire district, can
be compared to Milly, as he was
credited with having killed 10000 ven
omous reptiles. His only weapons
were one or two massive sticks. AS
soon as he saw the serpent he ad-
vanced and hit it violently, either
killing or stunning it; with the sec
ond stick he pinned it to earth and
cut off the head with a huge pair
of scissors. But along with these
simple weapons Courtol possessed a
thorough knowledge of the habit of
serpents. He knew when and where
to find them. In two days near Puy-
a-Clermont he killed 230 Of them, and
not only did he kill the poisonous
creatures, but he would capture them
living when desired.
