Tom Nye's Success.

The Oregon Daily Journal speaks
of the remarkable accomplishments
of Tom Nye, who delighted Pendleton
last fan with his hypnotic perform
ances. Mr.. Nye recently placed a
woman in cataleptic state. and left
her under the hypnotic spell for the
day. She was exhibited in the win
dow of a Portland business house, and
physicians watched by her TO note
the changes in her condition, while
under the influence. Mr. Nye is en-
joying an enviable success as a hyp-
notist and healer, and is devoting
much of his time to these subjects
now.

pets rhnt CANNOT walk.

In oriental countries 1t is customary
to have valuable fish as household
pets, in the same way as we have
cats and dogs, and in almost every
house in Japan one can find jars con-
tanning some fine specimens. Japanese
mobiles have large acquaria, in which
are to be found species of odd and
curious fish that have been bred and
cultivated for the last 500 years and
more. In China the paradise fish is a
good example of the result of careful
cultivation, for 1t is nowhere found in
a wild state and is remarkable for its
colors, which surpass in beauty those
of any other fish extant. Another
household pet is the Chinese comet
goldfish, which is equipped with i'm
mense caudal fins that spread out like
sails when the creature is swimming

Capt. and Mrs. Ritch Sur
priSed on Departure for
Florida.

A Port Chester, IN W paper of
last week contains the follow ac-
count of surprise party rendered
Capt. and Mrs. w. M. Ritch at their
home in Port Chester, N. Y, on the
eve of their departure for Florida.
Between fifty and sixty friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Ritch, of
Cherry Hill, East Port Chester, ten
dered a surprise to that popular and
widely known couple, on Friday
evening, at their home.
1.-The guests assembled at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. M. William OXer, of
Henry street, East Port Chester, and
in masquerade, made their way to
the home of their friends. AS the
party entered, the couple were taken
so completely by surprise that for a
time they were speechless. But Mr.;
Ritch soon recovered and arose ana
in neat little speech made the
guests welcome and babe all have
good time, The surprise was ar
ranged by Miss Irene Russell and
Master Norman Ritch who have be-
come very proficient in the art OF
planning'surprises, and was given IN
honor Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ritch, as a
send off before they leave this sec
ton for Florida, where they always
spend the winter months.
"As soon as the guests had all
greeted the couple, they proceeded
to the enjoyment of the evening.
Games of all descriptions were
played, singing and dancing INDUCED
in, cards, and, in fact, every sort of
amusement known to such gather
ing were INDUCED in TO the limit.
Two prominent musicians from
Round Hill furnished piano and vio-
lin music, which was of an eXcep-
tionally fine order, and was apprecl-
ated by all present.
During the evening a collation.,
which was a repast fit for the gods,
was served, to which all did full JUS
tice. After the inner man had been
satisfied, the games and hilarlty
were resumed, and continued until a
seasonable hour, when the guests de-
parted for their homes, after bidding
Mr.. and Mrs. Riteh godspeed on
their Journey to the south. The
friends of MIR. and Mrs. Ritch have
given them these farewell surprises
In various other seasons, before their
leaving for the South, and their hos
pltality is widely known throughout
this vicinity, and the occasion OF
Friday night was no exception TO the
rule, and all declared that they had
enjoyed the time of their lives.

you, resolutely take slower pace; be

BETEL NUT CHEWING.
1t Is the National Diversion of the
SiRmese People.

SfRmese People.
Betel nut chewing is the national d.
version of the S!amese. Every one
from high to low is addicted to the
habit, and preparation of the quid for
those too poor to own ingredients and
boxes is in every town quite a bust
ness Of itself. In the smalleSt settle
ments one sees peddlers squatting be-
fore their trays Of little boxes holding
lime and seeds Of tobacco and pack
ages of syrah, or green betel leaves.
The betel tree is among the most COM
mon in Siam, sending up trunk some
times full sixty feet, always, like the
cocoanut, limbless except for its bush
Of top, where, again like the cocoa,
the nuts grow in closely attached
punches, to harden and redden before
gathered.
The cardamom seed, or Glove, is an
extra of the well to do and especially
of the women. The common habit
among men of the country is to add
pinch of tobacco after first rubbing 1t
over their gums. The bright red saliva
from chewing is, in the town house,
carefully deposited in handsome sill
yer receptacle. In the up country
house Sits between the open bamboo
flooring obviate the necessity for such
niceties. But always on formal occa-
sion, even in the jungle edge, the betel
nut chewer carries his box for the free
ly flowing juice that stains the teeth
deep red, which among the better
class with care and attention becomes
highly polished black.
And this Is true even of Slams most
enlightened classes, whom contact with
the outside world appears not to win
from the betel nut and discolored teeth.
In Bangkok l talked with one of royal
blood and his wife, both Of whom had
lived several years in England, yet the
teeth of each were black as ebony, and
the woman frankly expressed her dis
gust at the white teeth of foreigners.
Dogs and other four footed animals,
she declared, have white teeth. Bless
ed Is contentment!-Outi

PYTHONS AS PETS.


| Perfectly Harmless.
DR.. Mann, an enthusiastic lover of
snakes, contributes to recent Eng
lish volume a letter which goes to
show that the larger kinds of these
creatures may have far more charac-
ter and emotion than they are general
| ly credited with.
"My present boa," he writes, cal
ways sleeps in my bed around my feet.
He is perfectly clean, lies still and very
seldom disturbs me- Occasionally he
crawls to my face to lick it. l fire.
Quently take python to bed, but at
present she is timid, and If she cannot
find my feet crawls out of the bed and
curls herself ON the floor.
II do not myself believe that any
python or boa is savage, but they are
dreadfully timid, especially from the
i'll treatment they receive when first
caught and the misery and terror they
endure on the voyage. There is anoth-
err thing: They have no eyelids and on
being suddenly uncovered and dragged
forth to the light suffer from the glare
very acutely. 1t is best, therefore, to
hide their heads in your hand or under
your coat.
Handle them often and give them
water, pressing their heads gently into
it. 1 feed my boas frequently from
my hand, but the last time l offered
python a guinea pig the prey escaped,
and the python took in the whole Of
my hand instead. He soon discovered
his mistake and was greatly distress
ed, rubbed his head against my hand
and seemed to fear some sort of pun
ishment.
"Slnce that time 1 have had great
difficulty in persuading him to eat I'M
less l nurse him or take him to bed,
when he will lie the whole night with
his head in my hand"
