Pythsn At the Park Ensulfs a Den
 Companion.

The big python fourteen feet long, in the Central park menagerie, and a | full grown rattlesnake had a fierce fight in their cage recently, the python | finally succeeded in conquering it's en- emy and then swallowing it, just as it disposed of a small alligator some time ago.
 There was another rattler in the den at the time but it made no attempt to help its companion or avenge it's death.
 And they were chums. too. They were a male and a female, and had been in the park only a week. Philip Raub of Dallas. Pa, sent them as a present to Director Smith. A letter came with them, saying that their poison fangs had been drawn. A close watch was being kept on them in the park to see if they would raise a new set of poison teeth.
 The newcomers were about four feet long and on the tail of each were twelve rattles. From this it was sup posed that the snakes were about fif- teen years old. as it is said that the first rattle comes on the third year and an additional one each year thereafter.
 Mr. Smith was glad to get the addi- ton to his snake collection and in structed the keeper to put the new ar rivals in the cage Occupleu Dy tue LalH- ily of pythons. There are five mem bers of this family, the largest being about fourteen feet long and the small est about seven. Some time ago the keepers gave the name of Eat 'em Alive" to the biggest one, from his dis position to make things disappear.
 The rattlers explored their new home from end to end. They had the floor to themselves. for the pythons were in the pool of warm water. The den is en- closed by glass on three sides. In the center of the floor are two trees with branches that reach to the ceiling. The pythons are fond of coiling about the tops of the trees and sleeping there af- ter feeding time, which occurs once a month, but recently they have passed most of their time in the pool at one end of the cage. as they are shedding their skins.
 During the shedding process they arc nearly blind and inactive. The new corners did not venture into the water, nor did they try to climb the trees. but they crawled about the floor as though looking for a way out. The glass sides were a puzzle to them. And when curious visitors pressed closely 10 ob- serve them they sounded their rattles as a warning.
 It was this rattling that brought on the fight The big python had gone ,through the shedding process earlier than its mates had on a new coat when the Pennsylvania visitors arrived and had recovered its sight and activity. By the moon it was nearly time for the

pvthon's dinner. The python semed to think the rattling of the strangers was a challenge to fight. The newcOm- CTS were at the other end of the cage rattIing away as usual at the visitors outside the glass. The female started out on another exploring trip With head up in the air she moved toward the pool. The big African snake work ed it's fourteen feet of length from the pool and began to glide across the floor. There was nothing hurried in its move ments. but when it got half way across the floor 1t paused and threw its body into several half coils with the neaS pointed toward the approaching rattler- There was a businesslike look about this attitude that aroused the sus- picions of the other snake.
 There was a sudden movement of the big fellow: it's head shot forward and the half coils strengthened out. The rattler was on the watch and was just as quick in drawing back, fiinging It. self into coil and raising an alarm on it's rattles.
 The python moved forward and to one side a few feet. and when it next hurled it's head forward the rattler un- limbered its coils and made a counter strike with head and body. There was a flashing of snake as the two writhed and twisted Neither took time to coil again. The smaller one bit the big body of the foe pulled out and coiled again. In a flash the pythOn's coil came around the rattler's. The rattler's tail stuck out of the mass, rattlfng fainter and fainter and then ceased to rattle. The conqueror unrolled itself and swal- lowed the corpse head first. To save

MORE TIME GIVEN
TO FOOD DEALERS

There is nothing doing as yet in the
enforcement of the new regulation of
the Board of Health which forbids
the occupancy for dwelling and living
purposes of any building in which
human food is sold
The reason of the delay, since the
time limit contained in the resolution
has expired, is to give the Chinese and
Japanese further notice. To this end,
after publication by authority in the
English press, the health authorities
have had the regulation inserted in the
Chinese and japanese papers with the
full time limit from date of first pub
LEGATION therein. Thus the Asiatic
provision and fruit dealers are given
ample notice of the prohibition in
their own languages
Some of the Oriental publishers have
Informed Secretary Charlock that they
make no charge for publishing the
regulation, Notwithstanding it is by
authority, as they are glad to print it
as an item of news. Such liberality,
on its face, seems highly altruistic.

THE WORRIED WOMEN.

They say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. 1t makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles OF the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovArladen woman rest as much
"a possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

said, is man with a keen knowledge

The appointment is to be advertised at

Mr.. Giffard read communication
from j. G. Smith advising prompt and

that It might be necessary to cut down

Mr.. Gffard reported that mango

That after this one was found there
was still another found In a district

ty. rest with the caution involved In
his recently considered purpose OF test

method to- have been employed was

ALLOWABLE BALLAST
This Territory has suffered enough
loss from insect pests and plant dis
eases in the past without taking such
risks of adding other species to the
list. There Is no restriction to sand or
rock ballast. Covert hints and threats
have been freely circulated along the
waterfront that the Standard Oil Com
pany would commence legal proceed
ings against the Territory to recover
supposed damages. The passage of a
law holding parties liable for damages
that occur from introduced pests or
diseases into n section would have a
wholesome effect upon some Importers
that labor under the belief that the
United States is "A free country and
