Particulars Of His
Business.

There Is one man tn Boston who mas
no fear OF women invading his line OF
trade. and up TO the present time be =
the only man. as far as is known, IN
this state. who IS a professional snake
catcher. This man. reports the Boston
Globe. Is o. w. Mason, who does not
think bis living is in any way strange
for he considers snakes far less harm
less than dogs or any other pets.
A Globe reporter accompanied Mr..
Mason on a snake hunt to the Blue
hills the other day and was shown con
cusiyely that there need be no fear
Of anybody getting killed nom the nite

a stout string tied to sort Of a areag-

string attachment. When a snake IS
seen Mr.. Mason, with the stick In the

he. "a vicious dog would have turned

Tt is difficult to remove ink stains
nowadays, because modern chemical
inks are quite distinct in character
from the old compounds. However,
many suggestions are offered for re-
moving ink. One way is to cover the
stain thickly with cream Of tartar,
then hold the fabric over a bowl, and
pour boiling water through it. If the
stain is taken in hand at once it will
disappear quickly; If dry and old. it
may need several fresh applications Of
