Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TREMPEALEAU Wis, Sept. 21.-
Hunting rattlesnakes for their skins
has furnished new and hazardous oc-
cupation for many men who reside in
the hills and rocky bluffs Of the Upper
Missouri valley, where the rattler at
tains perfection as to size and color.
The snake must be taken alive and de-
capitated before he has an opportunity
to strike himself, for once the deadly
poison is injected the skin loses luster
and value.
The price paid for perfect tanned
skins is about 81 each and in addition
the oil obtained from the snake COM
mands a high price from its supposed
value as a cure for rheumatism and
kindred diseases. Each rattler cap
tured alive means about $1.50 to the
hunter.
Among the most successful hunters
is Alfred johnson of this place, who
possesses many large and beautiful
skins. His latest capture was nearly
seven feet long and carried nineteen
rattles. Mr.. Johnson has succeeded In
domesticating a large number of young
rattlers, which allow him to handle
them as he will and follow at his call
like wel1-trained puppies.
The idea occurred to Mr.. johnson
that by obtaining small snakes and get
ting them accustomed to his presence
he could largely increase his profits and
reduce the hazards of his occupation.
Following out this reasoning he has
now a colony of nearly thirty rattlers,
all of which seem to bid him welcome
whenever he appears, but they have
no welcome for strangers.

A Puzzle in Prices.

Mr.. Cusrlss Edward Russell, in the
July installuent in Everybody's Maga-
zine, of ''The Greatest Trust in the
World, " relates;
1.-THE news that a Federal Grand
Jury was to investigate the Beef
Trust and its alleged violations of the
GTosscup Injunction was published
early in March. At that time the
supplies of cattle we're good, in fact, a
little more than normal, running at
Chicago from $1,000 to 1000 a week.
Hence, as the LeDten season was at
hand, when the demand for meat is
always lessened, a decline in the cattle
market was easily ioreseen. The old
est observers we're in the market were
astounded, therefore, when immediate
ly after the announcement of the com.
ing investigation the prices for cattle
began to ascend. The first week saw
an increase of twenty-five to forty
cents a hundredweight. The following
week this advance was repeated, not
w%iths'anding increased receipts. The
next week saw a further advance, until
when the Grand Jury after March goth
was fairly at work, the average price
OF medium grade cattle was $3.50
higher than before the rise began. And
this 10 spite of the fact that the cattle
receipts for March we're the largest
ever known in that month.

Noted By NaturaIists.

Mice strongly dislike the odor Of
peppermint.
Few insects live more than a year in
their perfect state.
Sloths, llamas and certain birds
notably some species Of parrots-rarely
if ever, drink.
A whale measures on an average
from so to IS feet in length and 35
feet in circumference.
Swallows from Britain usually win
ter as far south as Sierra Leone. These
birds arrive IN Natal in Novem Der and
leave II March.
The raft spider gets the name from
Its habit of building a raft of dry
leaves and other light materials fas-
tened together firmly by threads Of
silk, in order to pursue lis prey in the
water.
1t has been noticed that when the
camtls in a travelling menagerie have
been tethered at any particular spot
horses will shy and refuse to go near
it, even after the camels have gone on
their way with the rest Of the show to
another town.
Oysters, even after they have been
brought away from the sea, know by
instinct the exac hour when the tide
is rising and approaching tneir beds,
and 80. of their own accord, open their
shells to receive their food from the
sea as though still at home.
Insects which inhabit Islands have
either wings OF very little use IN flying,
or no wings at all. This popularity
keeps them in existence, for, if their
wings we're strong enough to carry
them any distance a strong wind
would most likely carry them out to
sea to perish there.

Concluding THE College Athlete, %
IN the July McClures, Henry Beach
Needham makes further revelations Of
the trickery and dishonesty CONNER
elalism fosters in undergraduate sport.
Baseball players come in for the same
attention the football stars received in
the first paper and, because It is easier
for a ball player to turn his skill into
a surreptitious source of income the
conditions are worse with the ball
mines than with the elevens.
1t is a startling story Mr.. Needham
has to tell OF these young men prsctis-
ing in their college days all the wlles
Of the bride 'giver and the bribe-taker.
"Few players could be convicted IN
a court Of law" he says, ''on the
charge Of receiving money, or Its
equivalent, for playing ball 1t is
easier to convict a legislator Of BRIDE
taking-yes, the attorney for the big
corporation of bride. giving-than to
convict a college gentleman of evadiDg
the rules he Is pledged to live up to,
and of taking money"
This is a strong statement but that
it is within the facts Mr.. Needham's
narrative proves beyond any doubt,
for bis story Is n Of specific instances
and be never fails to name the men,
the Time and the place.
For all the evils he shows up The
writer is far from pesslmistic. at Ii
true beyond question, " be says, "that
conditions have been far worse thar
they are today" He puts the blame
upon the spirit that makes a business
Of winning, of winning at any cost.
