In Marianne North's "Recollechons
Of a Happy Life" is description OF
tame snake.
Its mistress would sometimes twist
the pretty bronze creature in the great
plait of hair she wore around her head
and once threatened to go down thus
decorated to a dinner party Of rather
stiff people.
But one of the snakes own eccentric
tiles serves to distinguish it among all
other reptiles of similar nature which
have served as pets.

it's mistress herself, and when she took
off her many rings and placed them on
different parts of the table it would go
about collecting them and stringing
them on it's 1.-THE body. Then it would
tie itself in a knot, so that the rings
could not be taken off until it was
pleased to unite itself again.

MURDERERS TO LECTURE.

The announcement comes from Paris
that Gabrielle Bompard, a notorious
murderess, who has just been pardon
ed from the penitentiary, in Paris,
will come to the United States to lee
ture in the fall. A Frenchman named
Dhur, journalist of Paris, will ac-
company her as her manager. Cab
rielle was a party to the strangling OF
man named COTE, for the purpose OF
robbery, and was sentenced to twenty
years in prison, but has just been re-
leased at the end of twelve years. Her
partner in crime, named Eyrand was
guillotined in 1901. The latter slip
ped the moose over the head of their
victim and pulled on the cord while
the woman held him down until he
was strangled to death. If there is
any law to cover such a case this
brazen and shameless woman and her
equally brazen and shameless manager
should be met at the wharf and held
in custody until they could be reship-
ped to a country where pretty murder
esses are lionized and feted by men
claiming social standing and respect
ability. The only country SO far heard
from of that kind is France.
