MUSIC OF THE cUBANs.
e Il Even Worse Than the Horrible
Noises Made by the Al
gerlAns.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer
ence for such music as is made by
a band composed of stamp-mill
sort Of crank piano, pair of sugar
kettle tom-toms and man with a
horse-radish CRATER called giro"
and a fiat file with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing dis
cordant potponrri that might easily
.dislocate the teeth of any self-respect-
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
,Cubans fancy it is even worse than
the finger-drumming and wire-snap-
ping musical murders committed in
.Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chnntantes. The lauded but lugubri-
Gus Cuban national hymn is best es-
teemed when performed by one of
these bands of inhnrmonic handitti,
and the national canoe. that monoton-
Gus combination Of motions that sng-
gests that the dancer is trying to shoe
fiea on the snrall of his back and
also 20 easy on stone bruised heel.
can only be adequately performed to
the music OF these African agitators of
.cat-gut. raw-hide and perforated tin.
The truth is the Cubans will have to
learn music all over again.

CHAMPION SNAKE HUNTER.
a Trenehman who Was Credited
with Killing 10000 veaomous
Reptileo.

1t is not we'll known that certain
parts OF France are infested with
poisonous serpents, against which
warfare is waged by state-paid SER
pent hunters. They are killed in
thousands and the price per head
is 2Hd. There was some time ago
Il famous serpent killer in the forests
of Southampton, John Milly, who in
AZ years Of hunting killed more than
$4,000 vipers, says the London Tat
tier. A Frcnchman named Courtol,
who hunted i'll the Loire district, can
be compared to Milly, as he was
credited with having killed 10000 VEN
omous reptiles. His only weapons
were one or two massive sticks. AS
soon as he saw the serpent, he adj
yanced and hit it violently, either
killing or stunning it; with the sec
.ond stick he pinned it to earth and
cut off the head with huge pair
of scissors. But along with these
simple weapons Courtol possessed a
thorough knowledge of the habit of
serpents. He knew when and where
to find them. In two days near Puy-
a-Clermont he killed 23O of them. and
not only did he kill the poisonous
creatures, but he would capture them
living when desired.

A NEW KIND OF BERRY.
pAe That Il New to the Credulous
and CoaAding Only, and
= Fraud.

The newest thing in small fruits is
the Arctic" berry. In parts Of the
west enterprising agents have been
going about among the farmers exhib-
iting MISUNDERSTANDING berries pre-
served in alcohol. They are about
three times the size OF strawberry
and with the color of an orange.
Every delicious" says the agent,
who claims that it is brand-new fruit
Of extraordinary merit. He explains
that it was obtained by crossing the
strawberry and the wild cherry, the
huclsleberry and various other berries.
In response to orders he is willing to
deliver limited number of plants.
Naturally, says the Detroit Free
Press. orders in plenty have been
Forthcoming. But ii turns out on in
vestgation that the new and won
derful berry is nothing more nor less
than the white mulberry, long ia
miliar and not greatly esteemed In
other words, the whole business is
fraud, and the evaporation of the vic
inns is rendered more intense by the
fact that all the plants. which they
had set out SO carefully, are killed by
the first frost.

NEEDED A BRAVE MAN.
He Was an Hour Behind Time and
His wife Was Waiting for
Him at Home.

The wind sighe dismally in the big,
bare office at the Harrison Street Po-
lice station every time that the door
opened, and with one Of the signs there
drifted in pale little man with a wispy
mustache and discouraged express
sion on his careworn face, relates the
Chicago Tribune.
He sidled up to the grated desk and
said, p.aintively:
Sergeant, l want the bravest man
in the police station. lwant to borrow
him for half an hour"
Visions of the capture of the stamp
robbers, of Patrick Grove, and of half
dozen other noted offe nders flashed
into the sergeant's consciousness.
"Man.' said he. you can have a
dozen. What is IT? The capture of a
desperate criminal?"
mo"
Perhaps you want to have hold
up man arrested?"
NO"
Can it be that you have seen bur-
glars at work and want the braves t
man we have to go with you and take
them?"
NO said the little man, sadly, ''it
is not that
But, see here. You are asking or
the bravest man we have. and we don't
send him out unless there is big game
to be bagged. Give me an idea of the
service you wish to have performed
and l may send half dozen men in
stead Of one"
"One viii do"
Then what do you want him for ~
The little man raised himself on tip
toe. He said, softly:
II want the bravest man in the sta
ton to go with me to my house
promised to be home at ten o'clock and
it is now IL. My wife is waiting for me.
and 1t will take the bravest man in
Chicago to explain to her that missed
the last car"
The sergeant. who would have liked
to have sent man, found that he could
not spare one.

AS between the Cummins and Jones
amendments. there is no question but
that the railroads prefer the latter. With
hundreds OF new tariffs being fled every

rate increases. it is manlfestly impos-
sible fer the commission TO review them
