A Ciash With Gagged Pythons.

Carl Hagenbeck thus described an
adventure with Gagged pythOns: my
son Heinrich had no sooner opened the
door Of the cage than the four reptiles,
as though by prearranged plan, flew at
him with wide open jaws. One of
them very nearly succeeded in coiling
itself round him, but he defended him.
self vigorously, and l and keeper
ran to his aid, but 1t was some min
utes before we succeeded In freeing
him. Then the largest Of the four
fixed himself firmly with his tail on a
rafter ut the top of the cage and made
savage bites at us. When we had
thrown a sack over his head we had to
secure further assistance to unlOosen
his tail. No sooner had we with great
effort got 1t loose than the monster
twisted itself around Heinrich's right
leg aud began to Irvine itself higher
up his body. 1t was life and death
struggle that then ensued, but by ex-
erting all our might we at last sue
ceeded In tearing away the reptile and
forcing 1t into sack"

Surveyor General Grimmer of the

Surveyor General Grimmer of the
Province of New Brunswick was re-
Gently quoted by an American news
paper as saying that New Brunswick
would not follow the example of Que
bee in prohibiting the export Of pulp
wood from Crown lands. Hon. Mr..
Grimmer has taken occasion to deny
having made any such statement. He
points out that he could not do so,
since a committee of the government
has been appointed and is making in
quiry into the whole subject, and upon
its report the policy of the government
will be based. Until that report is
submitted the whole matter Is held in
allegiance. 1t Is only wisAGh the last
five years or SO that this has become
live question in New Brunswick. 1t
is only within that period that export
of pulp wood from the Province has
assumed any considerable proportions.
The demand from pulp and paper
mills in New England has created the
market. A large amount of United
States capital Is now invested in New
Brunswick timber lands, and more in
vestors are looking In the same direc-
ton. The question has therefore be-
come live issue, and has been
brought to the attention of the legis-
lature. The Province has millions of
acres of Crown timber lands, and the
question of conservation Is one of
growing interest. There Is Fish,
Forest and Game Protective Associa-
ton in the Province, and also Pro-
vincial Guides Association, for a
handsome revenue Is derived from
anglers and hunters of big game. 1t
may be added that the greater part of
the public revenue of the Province is
derived from it's Crown lands.

Literary Ghosts"

According to writer In La Revue
Of Paris, the rank and file Of nOvelists
In France draw on an average 500 for
each book, and many Of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand. those at the top Of the
tree earn large incomes, and some of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse Is
then had to literary GHOSTS" Of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation Of any
writer's work. Popular nOvelists do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ghost"
with q grievance against his employer
interpOlated In the book ordered from
him two chapters Of Mime. Bovary,"
altering nothing but the names Of the
characters. The woman who signed
the book In order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con-
TESS that she had farmed it out.

The cat of Napoleon Gooch of Bid
deford has produced little of freak
kittens. According to the Biddeford
Journal there were six kittens, two Of
which died soon after birth. Two were
perfectly formed and but one of these
is now living. One that died had no
legs. One has but two legs, and two
have three, two being in front and
the third a hind leg. All the kittens
are naturally formed except as to the
legs, and are apparently as healthy as
any kittens. The kitten that had no
limbs died four days after the birth.

The Joke as Persia Secs II.

The MAN Of Jam" was the Joe MIL

Johnston in .Harper's Weekly. For
some reason or other the Man of Jam
seems to have had deep detestation
of schoolteachers," says this author.
"A teacher whose son had fallen III
and was ut the point Of death bade
them send for the washer Of corpsea
to wash his son. But they objected
he IL not dead YETI Never mind,
said the teacher; he will be dead by
the time they have finished washing
him."
To Bahlul a certain vizier said: IRE

Of the faithful has made thee rulel

ders, them" quickly retorted Bahlul
''for surely thou art Of my subjects."
