AusrRINs wa ON SNAKES.
New Additions to the Empire oven
run With Reptiles.

Austria's new territory IS undesir-
ably rich In snakes. mostly OF the
poisonous varieties, and the Govern
ment IS taking vigorous measures TO
exterminate them.
In the ten years from 1896 to 1905
the average yearly death roll from
snake bites in Bosnia and Herzego-
vina was thirteen persons. and 1888
head OF cattle, horses and domestic
animals. Besides this, hundreds OF
persons were bitten by snakes, but
recovered.
Since 1906 the provincial authori.
ties have given money premiums for
the killing Of snakes. In that year
30.05G dead snakes were brought in,
OF which 25,43S were poisonous. Next
year, when tho Official reward system
became more generally known, these
figures increased enormously. no
fewer than 2SO,71S snakes being
killed, including 271,6S5 poisonous.
Last years figures were very near
Iy the same, and 1t will be some
years before the work OF extermina-
ton can be anything like completed.
But at the same time the number OF
persons reported bitten by poisonous
snakes seems to be steadily deceras-
ing-206 in 1907 and 40 last year

Thouuh Profits DwindIed.


Though Profits DwindIed.
A story is told of the Rothschilds
TO illustrate tho strict obedience
which they at all times exactod from
their employees, high and low.
They once had an agent in New
Orleans, a young and alert fellow
who kept his eyes and ears open.
According to System, they telegraph
cd him to sell their cotton holdings
on a specified day
Believing that he had better In
formation on tho local market than
his employers he held the sale over
four days and netted an extra profit
Of $4,000, He promptly notified the
Rothschlds Of his achievement and
forwarded tho bonus. The Rothschilds
returned the amount intact with a
cold note that ran:
1.-The $4,000 you made by dlsobey-
ing our instructions Is not ours but
yours. Take 1t. Your successor sails
for New Orleans today"

Two Bits of Wood.

Importance cannot be reduced to a matter of size. The success of a piece of work may depend on a tiny detail. Such is the case in regard to that marvel of construction, the violin. Rev. H. R. Haweis in his My Musical Life'' tells of the care and labor ex- pended on two little pieces of wood which go to make up the perfect whole. The sound bar is a strip of pine wood running obliquely under the left foot of the bridge. A slight mis- take in its position, looseness or in- equality or roughness of finish will produce that hollow, teeth on edge growl called wolf" It takes great cunning and a life of practical study to know how long and how thick the sound bar must be and exactly where to place it in each instrument. The sound post is a little pine prop, like a short bit of cedar pencil. It is the soul of the violin, and through it pours all vibrations. Days and weeks are spent in adjusting the tiny sound post. Its position exhausts the patience of the maker and makes the joy or the misery of the player.

NO LAW TO STOP
 ITINERANT FISH SALE

Several of the local fish dealers made complaint against the little fishing schooner which runs in here from Block Island with live cod, a few days ago. The dealers who pay rent thought the vessel should be made to pay a license fee because it was competing with them and using the public land ing at the lower bridge. Harbormas- ter Morris has looked into the matter and found that the vessel is tied to piles on the property of J. F. Noble and that he is collecting s1 per day as a wharfage fee. As for the taking out for a license it was found upon mak- ing inquiry of the prosecuting attor- ney that the schooner is protected by the Interstate Commerce laws.

AvaIanches,

There are avaIanches of different kinds, but when the term avalanche" is used it is generally supposed to ap- ply to falls of great bodies of snow or ice, says MT. Edward Whymper in the London Strand Magazine. One of the first occasions of this kind which at tracted attention took place in 1920, upon Mont Blanc, and 1t is commonly called the Hamel accident. Dr. Hamel, Russian, set out on Aug. IS to go up Mont Blanc, accompanied by two Eng lishmen and eight guides. They had ascended to a height of more than 14,OOO feet. with five guides in front, who were cutting or making steps, when all at once the snow above them gave way, and the members of the party were carried down a thousand feet or more over the slopes up which they had toiled. Snow again broke away above and more or less covered them. Some of them struggled out, but three of the leading guides were hurled into a crevasse and buried un- der an immense mass of snow. The bodies of these men reappeared at the foot of the glacier thirty years after ward

I got up to see what looked like a huge mouse moving at very rapid walk across the room. When I got closer look I saw that it was mother mouse nov ing her whole family. At least I hope there was none left behind, for very soon small snake, but large enough to put into panic the mother of four less than half grown children, came through the empty fireplace and after the little fugitive.

The Creditor's Letter.

Here is an interesting letter received by well known English tailor in re- ply to final application for settle ment of a long outsta nding account: II have much pleasure in informing you that I have placed you on the list of my creditors. your number on the roll being 103. In view of your name ap- bearing so far down my list and in common fairness to my other creditors who have been on my books now for some considerable time. I am afraid I cannot hold out the slightest hope of the early settlement which you ask for. I think it will be well. therefore, if you discontinue forwarding your frequent reminders which can do no possible good and which are a con- stant source of annoyance to me."- London Pick-Me-Up.
