A SOCIETY PRESS AGENT.

One OF the finest little CRAFTS in New

There's a handsome young woman who
occupies a good suite IN one OF the three
principal hotels in town. who makes
something more than a good living out

year, keeps her own motor. and dresses
better than any princess OF the blood that
has ever visited New York Her little
scheme is 70 pick up outside millionaires
whose women folks have a passion TO get
into society. and boost them through the
papers. One OF her recent clients IS a
wealthy Colorado man. the women OF
whose family want to figure in the inner
ring here. The press agent must have
shaken him down for about the cost OF
a flock Of locomotives. She goes about
10 the newspapers. with extremely strilx-
ing photographs OF the ladies. They are
ordinarily accepted. for. apart from what
ever news value they may possess. they
are real works OF art. while the gown
displayed win an ooh and an aah from
every woman who sees the portraits.

ANTS PROTECT PLANT.

How They Defend II Against Leaf
destroying Insects.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A standing army Of ants for defensive
purposes is kept and provided with food
by a sensitive plant OF Nicaragua In this
acacia there are two large thorns at the
base Of each leaf inhabited by colonies
OF ants which bore into the thOrns and
make home for themselves by eating
out the soft inner tissue. On the leaf
stalks there are honey glands, and at the
tip OF each leafiet there is a sausage
shaped body, about as large as a pins
head, consisting OF albuminous food. The
ants sip the nectar and eat the food
bodies. and being contented with their
lot. remain on the plant without doing It
any injury.
When the plant Is threatened by any IN
vasion Of leaf-cutting ants which would
damage il the ants composing the plant s
army and police force rush out and repel
the intruders. Many similar arrange
ments exist IN tropical plants.
In one OF the most remarkable OF these
ant-plants the female ant bites a hole IN
the stem and brings up her brood inside
IT, The stalk of each leaf Is swoolen at
its base and bears food bodies which are
eaten by the ants when they emerge

bodies are eaten new ones are formed.
thus keeping the ants, which are OF a
fierce disposition, IN the plants employ
ment. Plants Of the same species which
do not happen 10 be inhabited by ants
fall an easy prey 10 leaf-cutting kinds Of
ants. which are only two plentiful In the
tropics. In other cases the defensive
ants are provided only with shelter in
cavities OF the stem. and various natur-
alists have observed that these ants pour
out in troops whenever leaf-cutting enc
mics attempt to attack the foliage,
The ants which thus defend these
are small. but sting with extreme viru-
lence. their small size making them the
more formidable. The leaf-outting ants
cut off the leaves and pile them up in
heaps. forming a sort OF kitchen garden
Of leaf mold, upon which they cultivate
fungus belonging 10 the mushroom
family. They SOW the spores OF the
mushroom and make a pure culture OF
the fungus, nibbling at It TO prevent the
development OF mushroom heads and thus
promote the growth Of the spawn.

SNAKES as FORECAsTERs.
Flee from New Jersey Mountain and
Avalanche Is Feared.


Avalanche Ia Feared.
Caldwell CS- j. dispatch to New York PrusA
Scores Of snakes Of many sizes have
deserted their haunts in the Hook Noun
tain range and are infesting the Passaic
Valley in the neighborhood OF the Boon
ton turnpike and the Passaic Valley road.
John A. Kinnear. a farmer, who lives
near Towaco. says that In the summer OF
1855 there was another. exodus OF snakes
from the mountains and that a few weeks
afterward many large powders fell from
the mountain sides into the valley injur-
ing many persons and doing much prop
erty damage
Fear is expressed by persons living IN
the valley now that me desertion OF the
mountains by the snakes foreshadows
another CONFUSION OF nature. which may
send more powders down into what Is
now a thickly-settled country. Farmers
who live near the foot OF the range are
out with their men examining conditions
and looking for loose fragments OF the
mountains. Many OF the rocks which fell
in 1895. after the snakes had hurried 10
the valley, weigh from twenty 10 twenty
five tons, and they still remain in the
fields where they rolled. Kinnear said the
more apprehensive and enterprising far
mers, who felt that their homes would be
in the path OF such powders. should they
tumble, were arranging 10 build barri-
cades back OF their buildings 10 stop
anything that might roll their way.
1t was on last Wednesday that the first
OF the fugitive snakes were observed in
the Boonton turnpike and the Passaic
Valley road. BY Thursday their number
had increased until a great many Of the
wriggling reptiles were seen in the roads.
Kinnear said that to-day scores OF snakes
were summing themselves in the roads or
coiled up in the lOwlands near the high
ways. The situation has become so bad
on the farms that the women and chill
dren refuse to go outdoors and the men
carry clubs with which 70 kin snakes

North CaroIlna snake storZ.

From the Statewide Mascot
We have often heard Of snakes eating
eggs-hen eggs-but never knew until
recently. when we learned the secret from
an eyewitness. II was in Rowan County,
where the blacksnake swallowed four hen
eggs He found the nest unde4 an apple
tree. and. although the eggs were larger
around than the snakes head, his neck.
or even his body. he had no trouble IN
getting them pushed down the narrow
passage. You could see them go without
any trouble, and when the four eggs were
in the snake you could see the four knots
on the snake.
But how did he digest them? Well. that
was an easy question for Mr.. Blacksnake.
He crawled up the body OF the apple tree,
wrapped himself around II. and frightened
himself until pop, pop, pop. pop-and all
the eggs we're broken.

FLOWER INITIATES INSECTS.
Spots on Paint that Resemble Flies
Curious Bee Orchid.

From the Chicago Tribune
Orchid limitations are a puzzle 10 flower
scholars. The whole appearance OF the
flower IS suggestive Of some insect. some
times to quite a remarkable degree. Il
does not seem easy to ind any real pur-
pose that could be served by this resem-
blance, yet no one imagines that It can be
accidental.
Any one who knew Of the bee orchid. q
native Of Europe. and came upon It for
the first time. would at once recognize It
1t seems to be a large velvety brown
backed bee, variegated with yellow The
two lateral petals might serve well for
the wings of the insect
In the center OF the lip OF the fly orchid
there is a small blush spot Ike the body
Of a fly The two lateral petals are slen-
der and curiously like the antennae OF an
insect. The whole Illusion Is complete
and suggests 10 the casual glance that a
few flies arc hanging on the stem OF
some plant which has cast its flowers.

The Corporation Tax.

brurn Lie.
Any kind Of a tax Is nasty. The least
objectionable sort is a tax that taxes
somebody else That sort clothes itself
with a species OF popularity which is
at variance with Is actual substance.
because the more taxes OF that sort there
are. the fewer there will be OF the kind
that fall on you and me. The tax on the
net profits of a corporation is a tax OF
that sort Comparatively few people own
stock in corporations. and all that don't
escape this tax. Objection is made 10 It
because IL would subject corporations to
government examination, but somebody's
affairs must be subjected to examination
or there won't be any revenue. II the
customs officers are 20 rIlmmage women
trunks, why isn't 1t fair for the tax
gatherers 10 rummage the corporation
accounts?

Two men in 35-foot power boat were

metropolitan police, assisted by cottagers.
Their boat was pulled ashore by a team.
J. L. Ecker. of Dorchester, the owner Of
the boat. and William A Kauth. who was
visiting him. undertook to bring the boat
INTO Boston Harbor. Everything seemed
propitiOus until they were opposite Saga
more hin. when the power gave out. The
boat was unmanageable and drifted rap
idly TO the beach. The men could 10
nothing but try to keep the boat rlghted
and Patrolmen Mullen and Dwyer went
TO their help in a small boat BY this
time a crowd OF cottagers had gathered.
and when the boat came into the break
ers about twenty-five OF these waded into
the surf and lent a hand in pulling the
boat ashore. The policemen got hold OF
team and dragged the boat on the
beach beyond the breakers. Outside OF
drenehing for the men and a straining
OF the boat no damage was suffered.

An Honest Lawyer.

In these days when SO many law
yers stand ready to accept retain
er on either side and to present an
argument in favor of any PROPOSE
ton it is refreshing to find a man
who is willing to resign an Office
rather than enter upon a criminal
prosecution which he believes to
be unwarranted ant. dangerous to
the public.
Mr.. Joseph B. Healing, who re-
resigned the Office o. United States
district attorney rather than pros
ecute in the government libel suit,
acted well. Mr.. Healing would
have found it embarrassing to have
remained in Office with the libel
suit on his docket and, plainly, he
is not the sort of man who could
have made an argument in favor
of that unjust cause.
A word of advice to Mr.. Taft:
Instruct your attorney general to
dismiss these proceedings against
the New York World and the In
dianapolis Neaos. Everything is to
be gained by dismissal; much is
to be lost by continuing a proceed
ing which is bound to terminate
in a farce. Commoner.

From jefferson City.

Editor Register AS | have not
written for some time, l will give
you some of the happenings of the
Legislature.
There have been almost 1900 bills
introduced in the House and SEN
ate. Everything, from regulating
che large cities by "Home Rule" to
poker-players. Everything from
railroad trains to automobiles.
The Republicans in the House
turned down the Home Rule bill
unless they could have a string at
tached thereto.
1t is evident that the promise Of
the Republican party to give
"Home Rule" to the large cities
was not made in good faith, but
was so much political buncombs,
as some Of the promises and charg-
es made by some of our Iron coun-
ty Republicans.
Why, Mr.. AXE, when the Repub-
licans caucussed on the Home Rule
bill they decided that they had the
votes, and that they could gavel
their bill through and that they
would leave the Democrats in the
hole.
They unanimously turned down
an amendment to make the Excise
Commissioner elective; yet they
want Home Rule.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it seems to me
that the greater part of the wor k
Of this Legislature is to spend
money. They wanted to raise tax 2
es by having real estate assessed
at its full value, regardless Of the
fact that real estate is assessed
higher than any other property in
the state.
Of course, after their insinua-
tions about the States books, and
that the Democrats could not run
the State, 1t is wise in them to adj
NIT that they cannot run the State
on the same rate Of taxation the
Democratic party has run it on for
40 years and paid OIL S2i,0OO,O
debt.
Well, Uncle Eli, I am still a
Democrat, but d Democrat does
not have much show here.
Respectfully Submitted,
