A SNAKE STORY.
The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but
That Didn't Harm Them.

The Reptiles Were Frozen Stiff, but
That Didn't Harm Them.
A naturalist once told how in
thicket on mountain side he saw
man kill a rattlesnake. He beat the
life out of it with club and contin
ued the pounding till it was manglei'
beyond recognition. When the nat
uralist demonstrated the man said
BOSS. you can't kill rattlesnake too
dead"
On one occasion a boat bound for
the United States from Rio de .Janeiro
touched at Pernambuco, where the
mate drove bargain with a snake
dealer for half dozen reptiles of vari-
GUS Sizes
The mate had them in a cage on
deck and charged sailor with the
duty Of washing it out with sea wa
ter every evening. All went well as
long as the weather was mild. but on
the night before the gulf stream was
crossed the sailor left a quantity of
water in the cage, and about thirty
hours from port biting gale struck
the ship.
All hands were busy with the storm.
and the snakes were forgotten. When
the mate thought Of them and went to
look after their condition he found
them frozen stiff and apparently as
dead as the proverbial doornail.
The dealer for whom the mate had
brought them came on board the fol
lowing day. He professed great dis
appointment over the loss of his in
tended purchase. but offered to take
the snakes away as kindness to the
mate. He gathered them in his arms
like so much firewood and carried
them home But a rival dealer after
ward told the officer that plenty of
warm water had resuscitated the
snakes and that they had been sold
to various museums not a bit the worse
for their death" by freezing.-Har-

MILITARY ACCURACY.
Exactness In Keeping Tab on the
Movements Of Soldiers.

Exactness In Keeping Tab on the
Movements Of Soldiers.
We hear much Of the perfection of
military organization abroad, but it is
doubtful whether any foreign war Of
fee follows with an accuracy greater
than that displayed by our own war
department the movements of its of
fcers. The following is an interesting
case in point:
A young army officer who has seen
service in this country and in the east
was once with scouting party IN Ari-
IONA. After two weeks in the desert
his squad came to the railway near a
small station. Within ten minutes
telegram from Washington was
brought to him by the station agent
It asked If the officer wished to be
transferred to one of the new artillery
regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either Of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert.
II WAS SlA udyS 1dtcA WHICH luCy
again struck the railway. this time
eighty miles from the point at which
they had previously crossed it. but the
officers reply from the war depart
ment was awaiting him. It had been
telegraphed to every station within
200 miles.
A more striking instance of accuracy
occurred after the same officers trans
fer to the east. He was travelling
home on leave, and. as the regulations
require, he had notified the department
of the day, hour and probable route
of his journey. After he had been on
the train for eight hours at small
station the porter entered with tele-
gram. asking if any one of his name
was present. On opening the tele-
gram the officer found that it ordered
him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be car
ried much further. The war depart
ment knew the whereabouts of an in
significant second lieutenant even
when he was travelling on leave of all
sence.-New York Herald.
