THE CABBAGE SNAKE
STRANGE REPTILE JUST DTS COVERED IN TENNESSEE.
Small Boy Died After Eating Soup It Is Asserted, and Cook, to Prove
 Her Innocence, Shared Lads Fate.

Though cabbage is favorite article of diet in Tennessee, and there are tonl upon tons of it raised, the vegetable jus, now is drug on the market, and they cannot be given away.
 There are snakes in it. so news sem to the St. Louis Republic from many counties shows, and the urban, suburb an and farming classes would as soor eat jimson weed or poison ivy as the sue. culent cabbage.
 The first intimation of the presence of snakes in the cabbage came iron Henry county two weeks ago, when s little boy and a negro cook died iron eating soup made of the vegetable. The little fellow got hungry and the cooh gave him bowl of bread and soup, ant he died within half an hour.
 The cook was accused of poisoning the child, when the family heard of the man. ner of it's death, but explained that she had only given 1t the soup made from boiling a cabbage for dinner, and in or. der to convince her employers that she was innocent, drank of the soup herself with the result that she also died in 6 short while, in great agony. An inves. tigation by the family developed the fact that small green snake had been hid. den in the cabbage head and was cooked with 1t.
 The next report of the snake carne from Trousdale county, where John Thomas, a farmer of Puryear's Bend section, exhibited snake found by his wife while preparing cabbage for din. ner She had finished cutting up the cabbage with the exception of the bu6 and had trimmed this down until it was no larger than mans thumb, and at first decided that nothing of danger

TROLLEY BLOWN UP
Nine Persons Killed Tn Disaster
 at Melrose, Mass.
MANY MORE ARE FATALLY INJURED,
Car Hit a Fifty-six Pound Box of Dynamite Which Had Dropped
 From an Express Wnnon.

MELROSE, Mass, Sept. 22.-An out ward bound Boston electric car, well loaded with people, was blown to pieces near the corner of Wyoming and Main streets. Nine people were killed outright, several more were fa- tally hurt and at least fifteen recaSved severe wounds. The front portion was blown in every direction, the front dashboard being hurled more than fifty feet. The motorman. c. IL Rowe, was among the killed. The immediate vii cinity presented a fearful spectacle, and the ground was strewed with legs, arms and other portions of the bodies of those who had been killed.
 The police announce that the cause of the wreck was the striking of fifty six pound box of dynamite which had fallen from an express wagon just ahead of the car. The express wagon was driven by Roy Fenton, who dis covered that the box had dropped off and rushed back to take it off the track, but before he got within hun dred yards of the box the car came along and was blown up. Fenton was taken into custody by the police.
 So great was the force of the explo- sion that two men standing in the door of a store fifty feet away were severely injured by the flying pieces, while every window within radius of a quarter of mile was broken.
 A The car contained mostly working men on their way to their homes in this city, but among the dead were a woman and her babe.
 The explosion was heard for long distance, and as soon as those in the immediate vicinity had recovered from the effects of the terrible concussion they rushed to tho scene of the acci- dent. The sight was appalling as well as heartrending. The ground was COW cred with torn and mangled bodies of the dead and writhing forms of the in- jured, many of whom were shrieking with pain. All the doctors in the city were summoned and others called from the nearby cities of Medford, Everett and Maiden, as we'll as some from Bos- ton. The severely injured were ten derly lifted into wagons, carriages and automobiles and taken to hospitals.
 Others who appeared to be at the point Of death were removed to nearby houses, while the police began the grewsome work of collecting the dead.
 Within fifteen minutes after the acci- dent a crowd of two or three thousand people were swarming over the scene. Relatives and friends of those on the wrecked car were rushing about try ing to find their missing ones, while many others who thought that some of their families might possibly have been on the car were equally excited.

could be concealed in so small space but upon second thought concluded tc split the bud, which she did, when out rolled the snake, s..g ts a a aT
 This specimen is perfectly white about 12 inches long and about the size of a thread 1t hardly seems possible that so small reptile could, be as poi. sonous as these snakes are reputed to be, but the reported loss of life leaves no room in the popular mind for doubt of their venomous character.
 Several other persons in Trousdale county have found snakes of this kind in their cabbage. with the result that this vegetable will no longer be found upon the table even of those most fond of it. A negro woman living upon MT Thomas place found one of the snakes in a head of cabbage that was about the size of the one on exhibition. but the color was brown, and others of various colors and sizes have been found, rang. ing from 6 to IS inches in length.
 At Cookville, Putnam county, Mrs z T. Hinds, while preparing a cabbage head for dinner, discovered small pink BAHhG III O fP6A VI " WAICA AAAe1 WAAASh 5AS had placed the cabbage leav os after washing. It was 31a inches in length about the size of a No. 40 sewing threac and of light pink color. 1t had sharE tail and fiat head, and would make $ spring in the water like a snake striking at an object The entire cabbage was at once thrown away and the snaks dumped into the yard. Several other persons in Cookville have found snakes in cabbage heads, although they are of various colors green, white light red, olive-green and yellow. They are sometimes found in the very cen. ter of the head, and from this fact the conclusion is drawn that they are de. posited there while the head is small and it grows around them. It is saio that their eggs are equally as poisonous as their bite
 Tn Cheatham, Smith, Franklin, Coffee Bedford and other counties hundreds of barrels of sauerlzraut have been de stroyed through fear that the dreadee snake may be part of the ingredients Farmers aver that hogs and chicker who have eaten cabbages have died, an they lay 1t to the snakes
 Owing to the fact that these snake can hardly be told from the fiber of II leaf and that they have the faculty hiding themselves in the bud and clin ing close to the leaf. they are very hal to find, even upon close search. This itself makes the danger great, as matter how particular one is the snaR if in the cabbage, is likely to escape dt lection.

A DUBIOUS Jor L4Lickca
An Americans First Taste of the Fla vorite Raw Fish and Wasabi
 of Nippon.

The Japanese are very fond of fish they like 1t pickled, they like 1t dried they like it canned, they like it freshly cooked and they like it raw. With this last taste we of the occident find 1t hard to sympathize; yet at least one Amer ican has been converted ito it's ac ceptance," says Youths Companion MT. Harold Bolce has recently related how he was skilfully and gently urgec along the difficult path of experiment by the Japanese author and diplomat, MT. Tumio Yano .yr.
 "One night at the Nippon club" says MT. Bolce The led up to delicate sub ject on the menu with much diplomacy. He finally got my assent to the state- ment that cosmopolitan appetite is one of the distinguishing marks of culti- vated travel Then he passed me raw fish.
 T confessed that was willing to be a stick-in-the-mud or any other varieta' of Silurian rather than take place with the international elect by eating such dish. My host, however, was painfully insistent, finally adding that with raw fish they. of course, ate wasabi Now did not have even vague notion of what this might be, but with that raw proposition before me 1t was comfort ing to know that at least it was to be diluted with something. I figured out, also, that, with my awkwardness with chop-sticks, might manage, without exciting suspicion, to drop the fish be- fore the fatal moment, and eat only the mysterious wasabi. But whether through cowardice or courage, cannot say. fish and relish made quick and simultaneous journey to my reluctant palate, and in that never-to-be- e-forgot- ten instant there flashed into my con- sciousness the undeniable truth that in all my occidental years I had been de- nied one of the most savory dishes in the world.
 Charles Lambs Chinaman had jubi- Iant delight over his first taste of roast pig; but that is degraded passion com pared with an Anglo-Saxon's initial ecstasy over an oriental morsel of raw namasu garnished with the roots of Eutrema wasabi"
 Raw fish anyone who desires to try the same experiment need not import; he need only--a very large only-learn to like it, and perhaps he will not need to import the wasabi either, in short time, for experiments are being made with view to growing it in America. It is valuable continent with other dishes than fish, and is a source of much profit to Japanese farmers. The plant belongs to the mustard family and can be grown in moist soil or in runnirF water, like cress, an acre of land often yielding two tons of the edible root Curry and chutney came from the east long ago; soy sauce is fast following: now wasabi is on the way. Perhaps 1t is the cooks of the orient. rather than our own. who will finally redeem our race from the reproach of the famous French epicure who thought little of English civilization because, although 1t had 21 forms of religion, it had but one sauce.

BOLD BURGLAR IN CELLAR.
Woman Who Discovered Him Sings Hymn and Then Coolly Nails
 Up the Door.

When Mrs. James Martin, of Roches- ter, Ind, returned to her home from church Sunday night she found the house dark and apparently deserted. Singing fayorite hymn, she went to her room and prepared to retire. A noise in the kitchen attracted her att tention. and she went downstairs on a tour of investigation.
 When she entered the Kitchen she observed the cellar door as it was lifted by burglar who, on seeing the wom- an, hastily dropped it and disappeared

from view. Mrs. Martin sprang upon the door and began lustily to sing the time-honored hymn "No Never Alone. Alone? No, Never Alone" Lying upon a shelf within reach were hatchet and several nails. Securing these, she nailed down the door anl, still singing, went out for help.
 The burglar was not idle in the meanwhile. Just as Mrs. Martin stepped out the front door on her mis- sion the burglar crawled through the cellar window and ran down the street. Mrs. Martin pursued him for block or more, but the man succeeded in making his escape.
 Mrs Martins coolness in a. trying moment has won for her many f1atter- ing comments.
