The Disappearing Horse.

We sometimes speak of the disap.
pearing horse as If he were white
rhinoceros or a purple COW, or even
a dodo-a memory of the Never-Nev-
er Land. Nothing but motor cars
now" you can hear the people say.
And yet 1t would puzzle a statistician
to tell how many vehicles are horse
drawn and how many motor-propelled
on the average public road.
A paper in the Engineering News
gives the count.
Seven typical highways in Rhode
Island are chosen. On all but two of
the seven roads there is a large ex-
cess of motor vehicles over horse
drawn vehicles. Over the 7 roads in 8
hours, 1862 motor vehicles and 695
horse-drawn vehicles passed. The
touring cars of four to seven seats
each were S4S in number. Nearly all
the horse-drawn vehicles were of light
weight. and most of them had rubber
tires"
The paper concludes by pointing
out "the improbability of being able
to effectually control the speed of mo-
tor cars, especially in isolated dis
tricts, except by an extensive organ
ization of state police"

LARGE SNAKE AMONG BABIES

Duck Eggs In Box.
Bayonne, N. IA hungry boa con-
strictor, fifteen feet long and as thick
as the leg of longshoreman, caused
panic in City Park here. 1t threw
habitual drunkards into a frenzy of
fright, chased nurse girls and their
little charges out of the park and
caused six women who were caring
for children in the playground to
faint when the nurses spread the
alarm that the big serpent was at
large.
The boa constructor even tried to
get it's coils about a large deer which
was captured in Newark Bay a year
ago. 1t was only by leaping woven
wire fence, six feet high, and taking
refuge in a shed that the animal es-
capped. The snake next turned it's at
tention to Philip Leddy and John
Mullin. They were padding in
the bay near the lower end of the
park They waded out until only their
heads could be seen and yelled SC
loudly for help that the snake did not
try to go out to them.
The cries of the boys resulted in
the capture of the boa. William Lau
terwich, caretaker in the park, rar
down toward the bay to ascertain
what the trouble was. When he saw
the snake coiled on the beach he
turned and ran away. In a few min
utes Lauterwich returned. He car
ried large box with lid on it, In
side, on straw, were ten duck eggs
Knowing the fondness of snakes fol
eggs he had prepared a trap for the
fifteen-footer.
Putting the box down, the caretak

long cord to it and then hurried

Blowing Up a Whale.

"Then began the work Of bringing
the whale to the surface and blowing
it up so that it would float. Taking
hitch about a convenient post, the
rope was Stacked and rnn through a
pulley block at the m: sthead to re-
lieve the strain of raising the great
body. The winch was set in motion,
and for fifteen minutes nothing was
heard save the monotonous grind as
fathom after iathom of line was
wound in. When the body was
brought alongside the lobes of the
flukes were cut off and lifted to the
deck. Then long coil of small rub
Der hose, one end of which was at
tached to a pump and the other to a
hollow-spear-pointed tube of steel
with perforations along its entire
length, was brought into play. The
spear was jabbed we'll down into the
whales side, the air pump was start
ed, and the body was slowly filled
with air. When inflated sufficiently
to keep it afoat the tube was with
drawn, the incisioL was plugged with
oakum and the chains cast off. A
buoy with flag was then attached to
the carcass, and the whole set adrift
to be picked up at the end of the
days hunting"

time, sympathize with my sisters
here, married to such a crew, but
think II they had paid as much at

Whew, that started the trouble.
Everybody was on her feet

"Did understand Mrs. Bliss to
say that 1t was her husband who cast
the single vote?"

"Well, you will kindly allow me
to say, and mean, too, that that vote
belongs to Peter Barrows and no

me to vote for woman suffrage and
then failed to do So" replied Miss
Finser.
"Well, want you to know that

By this time all the members were
in groups. All knew who gave that
vote; it was very easy to get into
the argument; each one was against
every other one in the room.
In vain the president called for or

would be put out. She gazed up al

LITIGATION Of 2 YEARS

about one hundred and fifty acres of

1885, leaving viii appointing Judge
Henry Hilton executor and trustee

"SANTA CLAUS STEAMER"
SAILED FOR EUROPE.
THE HOLD OF THE ST. LOUIS
GRAINED AND TANNED WITH
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR
LOVING FRIENDS ACROSS THE
WATER.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Ameri-
can liner, St. Louis. which left her
dock at ten o'clock this morning
bound for Europe, is entitled to be
called a veritable Santa Claus ship.
Her great hold was literally crammed
and damned full Of Christmas mail
and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth Of presents and money
orders. She is the last steamship
to leave this side by which mails can
reach Great Britain and the Cont
hent before Christmas Day. The St.
Louis is due at Plymouth, Cherbourg
ani SOUTHAMPTON the day before
Christmas.
~ was with a sigh of relief that the
hundreds of employees OBJ the New
York post office, and particularly the
foreign mails branch, greeted the de-
parture of the St Louis, knowing
that a big share of their heavy
burden of Christmas work was over.
No one thing reflects the condition
of prosperity in the United States
better than the volume of Christmas
mails for Europe. The authorities
have learned to look upon it as an
accurate barometer. following the
panic of 1897 there was startling
Drop In the number Of money orders
issued on Europe for the Christmas
season That the country is again
enjoying It's full measure of prosperity
is evidenced by the fact that the out
ward-bound Christmas mails were new
er heavier than they have been dur
Ing the past few weeks.
The bulk of the money orders and
Christmas presents sent abroad 60 to
Germany, England. Sweden. Russia
and Italy For many years Ireland
held first place on the list, but now
the Emerald Isle has fallen behind
several of the continental countries.
Two things are held responsible fol
the falling off Of the amount OF
the money sent to Ireland at Christ
mas time One of these is that the
number of immigrants from Ireland
has steadily decreased during the pas
decade or so, and the other reason is
tn he found in the greater prosperity
which Ireland herself enjoys
The number of foreign born Amer
leans who have returned to Europe
