OMNlvOROUS MAN.
Reptiles Are Eaten with Eagerness
All Over the World.

Reptiles Are Eaten With Eagerness
All Over the World.
Reptiles are eaten with eagerness all
over the world. Neither want of beau
ty nor abundance Of venom protects
them from omnivorous man. Although
they suggest to us by form and motion
all that is false and unfair, hideous
and horrid, even Gods curse of the SER
pent does not shield it, and from the
humble frog Of the pond to the colossal
crocodile Of Egypt they are all only so
much food for men. Old Mexicans
loved the speckled salamander and ate
1t with Spanish pepper. The Spaniards
learned the odd fashion, and the habit
has not entirely died out. Vipers are
a favorite dish with Italians. The liz
ards Of this continent are most deli
cate dish, and the iguanas of the An
titles were carried to South Carolina in
great numbers, the rice fields of that
state being well suited to them.
Snakes find ready market in many
eastern countries. The giant Of Java,
which infests the pepper plantations
and whose venom is fatal, is a favor
lite. The huge boa constructor furnishes
an exceedingly fat meat, and the negroes
Of its native country prefer it to the
daintiest food Of the white man. The
anaconda of Brazil supplies the table
OF the poor, though the Portuguese use
only the rich fat it produces. South
American natives eat almost every kind
of snake, and the far west has taught
many fastidious palate from over the
sea to relish the fatal rattlesnake of
our own country. Snake eating is more
common in the United States than one

Bad Weather for s;Iraffie.

The past week has been veSy oao io'
railroad traffic. Considerable snCSw mas
fallen, the thermometer has registesreo
in the vicinity of zero almost constantly,
and keen wind has filled the cuts on
the railroads. The passenger trains
have been running from one to three
hours late, and practically no attempt
has been made to run freight trains.
Besides the coal dealers, other local
merchants have suffered, since they
have had no opportunity to replenish
their stock. This is especially true of
druggists, who are nearly all out of
staples.
Weather predictions forecast very
severe weather until February9. There
have been to date, eight consecutive
weeks of sleighing.

Soap or Cemetery.

The soap peddler has once more ap.
peared in Florence and this time in
petticoats. Enthroned on q soap box
at the corner of Pixies Peak and Main
street under the glare of the Ordinary
street fakir's lamp she informed the
startled audience that she formerly
WAS q trained nurse in a hospital and
while there learned that the cemeter.
les we're being filled by doctors and
druggists and that the only savlation
for suffering humanity was soap.
Fearful that some one else might also
discover this great remedy and secure
her present elevating and intensely
desirable employment, she burned the
medicine Of dying patient who all
the physicians said must die. carried
her to her private rooms and snatchcd
her from the yawning jaws Of death

with soap.
Then our hei oine further electrified
her audience by stating that after
performing this miracle she attended
one Of the leading universities where
for three years she studied "soap"
This course of study developed her
mental capacity so muoi. that sts was
able to make soap to sell on the street
and had already cured and saved over
ten thousand people.
She says she is now devoting her
life to this great work. because she
can not be so cruel as to hear unbeed-
ingly the mournful wall of woe which
is going up to high heaven daily for
soap. She would sell. "just to adver.
tise it," two cakes of her compound
for a quarter. They we're about the
size that is usually given free as
samples by our merchants. put she
encouraged the crowd by insisting that
grain Of this soap is equal to a
pound Of any other SOAP aaoo she
didn't care a tinker's darn at what

But what is possible for journey OF
two or three hundred miles in weather
not much below freezing may be quite
impossible for one lasting two weeks
or more, with the thermometer 40 or
so degrees below zero. The men
must eat and sleep enroute. To provide
for this, the cars used for carrying
soldiers were lined with felt or felt
paper; little glass windows were set in
the sides, and an iron stove set up In
each. The benches were made so that
they could be transformed into hunks
at night. At every alternate station
hot water was provided for making
tea. In nearly every train one car was
fitted as kitchen and supplied the men
with hot rations of meat and porridge.
Shovels were carried. so that in case
of a snow blockade the men could dig
the train out. A surgeon and hospital
steward accomranied each train. AT
several stations on the line camps
were established, where the men rested
a day, with facilities for washing, etc.,
while the cars were inspected and
