WAS MUSIC LOVER
A PET RATTLESNAKE THAT
LEARNED THE MANDOLIN.
Played Himself to Sleep with the Ez-
quisite Music He Produced
Explanation Of the
'sSnakeophone."

A few years ago I had pet rattle
snake which was very fond of music,
says writer in the Chicago Inter-
Ocean. In the first place he was at
tracted to me while l was playing the
mandolin one afternoon. He was so
charmed by the music that he went
into trance and was able to secure
him and put him into cage. He after
ward had this habit to quite degree
whenever he heard music.
In short time 1 let him out Of the
cage, for he had grown quite fond of
me and would crawl upon my shoulder
and so to sleep whenever played He
seemed to fully appreciate the nature
of the music, for if it was a sad piece
he would droop his head and his body
would be conyulsed with fit of sob
bling. But if, on the other hand, the
music was gay and lively air, he
would keep time by waving his head
back and forth, and it seemed like he
rairly danced to the music
One day / had been away from
home, and upon returning 1 heard
some most exquisite music proceeding
from the house. Upon entering, mag

Uniformity of American Life.

The crudities of American life have
been fruitful topics for foreign critics
from the earliest colonial times, and
many eminent British writer's, includ-
ing Dickens, have unbCttled the walls
OF their sarcasm at our expense. But
either we have improved or men of
fairer judgment are expressing opin-
ions. Mr.. Nabuco, the Brazilian min
lister at Washington, has returned
from an extended tour of the United
States, and, speaking of what he saw,
said to newspaper interviewer: Il
tried very hard indeed to find the
west about which l had heard so
much, but l came to the conclusion
that it is a myth. There is no differ
ence between the people of your vari-
GUS states that l could perceive. The
one thing about Americans which must
impress visitors more than anything
eles is the absence of any so-called
lower strata in your society. In this
country there are no men and women
OF the sort always referred to in Eu-
rope as the people, Men and women
here never admit that they are at the
foot Of the social ladder, and if they
are there they don't look it; they ap-
pear &c be at the top. looked in vain
for some place that would look provin-
cial. In Europe, if one stops at small
station, even on the principal lines of
travel, one may find himself in place
where every essential of refined life is
wanting; but in this country, where all
Is change and interchange, railways,
electric light. telephones, lifts and all
modern improvements are everywhere.
This uniformity of your life from sea
to sea is amazing"

inc my surprise to see my pet snake
playing Yankee Doodle" upon the
Mandolin. He was using his rattles
for pick and was lingering which
in this instance might be called ''head-
ng-the instrument with the sharp
part Of his head. 1t was quite laugh
able to see his head bobbing back and
forth over the frets: but what was
strangest Of all, he never made a mis-
take, even in most difficult passage.
After while he played himself to
sleep and 1 took him a1d put him in
his den.
One day he hit upon quite a novel
way OF making music L. went cut
into the yard, where there were two
small shrubs growing about foot
apart, and, wrapping himself around
one OF them, he stretched himself over
to the other and wrapped himself
around that one also. Then he beck
oned to me with his head, but it was
quite while before 1 could under
stand what he meant. At length
made out what he wanted, and taking
smooth stick from the yard I went
to him and commenced to strike him
gently. He drew himself up tighter
still and then the vibration of his bodv
which my stick was making began to
De heard. He seemed to be highly
pleased, for he waved his head with
glee. Finally he found that by con-
tracing and relaxing his body he
could make different sounds.
One morning while was playing nv
snakeophone" he began to exneri-
ment in making different sounds. In
short time he had learned how to rim
the scale, and in about an hour he was
able to play blue Bell'' in a very
heartrending manner. Such fine liouid
sounds cannot be produced by any,
thing else in the world that I know Of
1t Is a source of much pleasure to ma
that | have graphophone record of
the fine work of my snake, which is
now dead.
My pet met his death in a very ne
cui1ar manner. took him with me To
near by town to hear an Italian harm
which was to be played by an expert
performer. He enjoyed the music very
much until the man began to pIav al
Trovatore" and then l saw that he was
going into a trance. / tried INV hest
to keep him from it, but could NOT
took him home in that condition and
he never came out from under the in
1uence. He died very peaceful death
and l buried Kim in the family 1ot IN
the graveyard.

Suxgeon-Made Man.

1t Is probable that most persons will
prefer to go through life with whole
skin in spite of the reassuring com
ment Of Philadelphia surgeon on
recent operation in Rochester, Mimi,
that sit makes little difference if a
man does lose few inches of his in
testines." There is plenty Of scien-
tific authority on his side, remarks the
New York World Prof Ellie Metchni-
koff, of the Pasteur institute, in Paris,
even holds that civilized man would be
better off if he should lose little of
his alimentary tract, which still re-
tains the proportions he required when
In savage state.
found to be not only superfuity but
source of disease. The surgeons
seem to be the only class to profit by
1t. yet few persons with healthy vermi-
form appendices are so unSelfish as
to offer to part with them.
In Los Angeles surgeons report with
pride that they have just taken out
mans heart, washed it, replaced it,
and promise that he will recover.
Numbers of men under stress of cir
cumstances and without mortal incon-
venience have parted with a lobe OF
the lungs or liver or brains, to the
immense qualification of the surgeons,
but no one does it voluntarily or pure
ly out of a desire of self-perfection.
Man is perverse enough to want to re-
main as he is and to put off surgical
improvements as a forlorn hope. 1t
may be that there are too many parts
Of him for present needs, but the con-
Ing race will have to outgrow them as
best it can or put up with them, as
Its ancestors did.

LIGHTHOUSE A WONDER.
New Building on Diamond Shoals
Coast Enlbodies Very Latest
Ideas in Construction.

The new Diamond Shoals lighthouse
will not only safeguard dangerous
coast, but will be in itself a model in
construction. Livingston Wright, in
the Technical World Magazine, de.
scribes it as follows:
1.-THE lighthouse is to have eight diff
ferent floors, besides the lantern gall
lery and watchroom. The first will be
equipped with three lifeboats, with a
crane for hosting or lowering on the
outside. The second floor will be d.
vided into four rooms, and contain the
fog signaling apparatus and two oil
engines. The third floor will contain
the hosting engine for operating the
crane, two large provision rooms, and
a, bedroom. The fourth and fifth floors
will each have two bedrooms, a
writingroom, and a bathroom. One
half of the sixth floor will be devoted
to the dining-room, the other half to
the kitchen, pantry and refrigerator.
The seventh floor will have double
sitting-room or library and a laundry.
On this floor also will be placed a tank
holding 1,600 gallons of fresh water.
The eighth floor will be properly
equipped for the lighthouse service
room. The ninth floor will contain the
watch room and will have a gallery
extending all the way around it. The
floor above this will contain the light
itself, visible in storm or calm for
about 20 miles,"

A Chicago school of domestic sci
ence has recently turned out group
OF sweet girl graduates whose diplo-
mas certify that they are able to keep
a house on ten dollars week. While
this movement may not settle the
household problem, remarks the Min
neapolis Journal, it is gratifying that
1t is being considered and that there
are young women who are making the
effort to restore the art of housekeep-
ing in this country. Ten dollars a
week may not be the right figure but
It seems safe starting point. No
man who cannot earn ten dollars a
week has much Of license to mar
ry. And the man who can earn that
amount is entitled to know in ad-
vance that If he does marry he is not
being run up against q $40 wife.
