Shriners at New Albany.

The Ancient and Arabic Order OF the
Mystic Shrine will hold a conclave at
New Albany on Oct. 10
The order has recently received, both
from Europe and the Orient. many
new and novel devices for the enter
tainment and de~lectation of those
novices who, in their Masonic zeal.
have decided to cross the burning sands
and pay homage at the shrine of Ha-
massa.
To those novices who deign to honor
New Albany with their presence assur-
ance is given that nothing in Masonic
history in Mississippi will compare with
this gorgeous entertainment in all that
constitutes fun, frolic and Oriental Ma
sonic grandeur. A majestic Masonic
capram has been imported from Ihibet,
and the late costumes from the Orient
and Europe are by far the most beauti-
full and gorgeous in America.

Confederate Reunion.

The opinion of every member of the
State division of the Confederate vote
rams who attended is, hat the reunion
held at Meridian was one of the most
successful since the organization was
founded. Each member is loud in
praise of the royal entertainment Of
the people of Meridian as well as the
Confederate organizations of that city.
A resolution was passed asking the
legislature to appropriate $4,000 or
more, and empowering the supervisors
of the different counties throughout the
State to vote an appropriation to a
monument to be erected to the memory
of the Southern women at Jackson.

The ErodS.

Proceeding with my studies of ma
ture l could not help but be struck
with the idiocy of the frogs. They
were much alarmed by my approach,
and leaped frantically, but instead of
leaping away from me they leaped
toward me, many of them, and even
against me.
There was n frog especially, who,
in the most fatuous manner hurled
himself against my legs repeatedly.
"Why are you such a fool?" l asked.
at length.
THAT is easily answered." replied
the frog, with admirable courtesy.
You are perhaps not aware of what
is nevertheless a fact, that American
frogs, with the exception OF a few old
families in New Jersey, are descended
from the frog who would a-wooing go,
whether his mother would let him or
no. In other words, our idiocy il
hereditary"

Sturgeon in British Columbia,

For several years previous to 1901
the sturgeon fishery in the Fraser riv-
er was an important industry. One mil
lion pounds of fresh sturgeon packed
in ice was shipped east annually. A
very considerable amount of sturgeon
o was shipped each year to Europe
to be manufactured into caviare. The
steurgeon then almost entirely disap-
peared from the river, and only a few
barely enough to supply the local
demand-were taken. The disappear
ance of this fish has been attributed
to everlasting. During the last half of
July the sturgeon have appeared in
large numbers. Nearly all are small
and would easily pass through the
sturgeon nets, but a very large mum
Der have become entangled in the
salmon gill nets. These are supposed
to be returned to the water in all
cases where they have not been
killed.
Under the law and the regulations
no sturgeon under four feet in length
may be sold in markets here, nor ship
ped abroad. The fishermen have,
therefore, no temptation to fail to
return to the water all fish under this
length which they have not been
obliged to kill to get them out of
their nets. One night recently q stur-
geon eleven feet long, weighing more
than 500 pounds, was taken in a
salmon net.

The Homo PeorIe.

Most of us might and ought to find
IN our own household much than
we look for. 1t is necessary for those
who would live happily together that
they should try to show their best tc
They should try to show the bes:
OF their minds. All things should be
In common. Every pleasant pleasant
experience, whether it be Of books OF
of life, ought to be shared.
Existence is maintained at a much
lower levelsof happiness than it should
be, simply because these who are
bound by the closest natural ties &c
not know how to make each ether
happy-grudSe the time that should
be given to the arranging of the soul.

sNAkEs sWAYED BY TUNES.
Wearing Of the Green" Charms One,
"Boyne Water" Another.

There are some residents of the Soho
section of Belleville, N. j., who are
said to believe this story, which is be-
ing told there, says the New York
World.
Mrs. F. P. Scully was hanging
clothes on the line in her yard when
she happened to whistle a few bars OF
her ~favorite air, 1.-THE Wearing Of the
Green" To her amaZement a whip
snake glided from the woodpile near
by, halted and seemed fascinated by
the music. When Mrs. Scully ceased
whistling the snake vanished in the
woodpile.
On her husbands return from the
copper works, where he is employed,
Mrs. Scully told him how unwittingly
she had played snake charmer.
There are Others" laughed Scully,
and he went to the yard and whistled
THE Wearing Of the Green" In a
few moments the snake appeared and
seemed greatly to enjoy Scully's wind
music. Since then all the Scullys,
young and old, have been whistling to
the snake, which has become quite
tame.
Recently James Ryan, a native Of
Ulster, moved near the banks of the
Morris canal and next door to the
Scullys. Ryan was cutting grass in
his yard Saturday when he CHANGED
to whistle "Boyne Water" He had
heard of Scully's snake and so was not
surprised when a whipsnake appeared.
You're a nationalist reptile, but
I'll make you dance to my music" ex-
claimed Ryan.
Hearing the tune the angry Scully
strobe from his house and loudly whis-
tied THE Wearing of the Green"
Out from the wood wriggled a whip
snake as much like the other as are
two blackthorns of the same growth.
The snakes attacked each other fierce
ly.
Scully and Ryan were about to pitch
into each other when their wives in
tervened. The snakes doubtless would
have fought to the death, but Scully
grabbed ParnelI's tail and Ryan seized
William of Oranges tail and they tore
the snakes apart. One made for the
woodpile, the other crawled under a
small shed.
