A Cruel Process.

Very few Of the people who are the
proud possessors of belts, pocket
books, card cases and numerous other
articles of snake skin realize the
agony that the demand Of civilization
for fads has meant to the original
owners of the material from which
these articles are made.
1t Is difficult to skin a dead snake
and the skin Is often spoiled In the
operation, while on the other hand
1t Is a simple matter to skin a live
snake and the skin thus gained Is
worth more. Dead snakes bring tC
S cents, according to their size, and
live ones from 25 cents to 81.
One of the largest snake skin COM
panies has factories in Sumatra
When a snake is received from
hunter 1t is seized adroitly by an OPP
orator, one hand squeezing the neck
and the other holding the tail. 1t Is
then attached by the neck to the
trunk of a palm tree, an assistant
holding 1t by the tail. With the point
of knife the operator cuts the skin
just below the head and pulling with
all his strength peels 1t from the
writhing reptile, In the same manner
that a woman peels a pair of gloves
from her hand. While this Is taking
place the assistant holds the body as
rigid as possible.
