 Constance Warren and Eleanor Sears

 Newport have listened eagerly to .he
 dotngs of the two young women who
 have raced In the ocean, galloped side by
 side on horseback, played tennis, and after hard days play, waltzed on inc
 waxed floor. But though Miss Sears has held her own remarkably well, Miss War
 ren has won several points by having set the walk that may daze Fifth avenue If you should chance to see young woman with hands held loosely, fingers pointed away from the skirts head bent forward and with a sort of a glide in her stride, it is not because has just recovered

Snake Eats Brood Under Hen

York (Penn.) Cor Philadelphia Record.
 Having apparently charmed mother hen. a blaeksnake four feet six inches long was found coiled beneath her wings in Elmer Myers's chicken coop at Creley- vile, calmly devouring her brood
 The attention of Myers was attracted to disturbance in the chicken house lur- ing the night. Entering with a lantern, he found the fowls all uttering cries of fright and staring at the brood hen, which appeared to be undisturbed Some time elapsed before Myers discovered the body of the serpent coiled beneath the spread wings.
 The srake was in.the act of swallowing one Of the chicks, and the others were huddled within easy reach, apparanefly feeling that as their mother had given no alarm all must be well. Myers ds- patched the intruder.
 After an examination of the hen he was convinced that she had been under some hypnotic influence which compelled her to sit rigid as the horrible feast went on under cover of her sheltering mother breast.

Home of the Guillotine

From Ise Petit Journal.
 wagon drawn by the two prison horses Gaspard and Balthazar made It's way slowly and solemniy through Paris yester- day from M. Deibler's shed in the Rue de la F Foile-Regnault to the Sante prison, Boulevard Arago. It was evident from the care taken that the contents of the wagon were precious. and if 1t had been known that the guillotine, which has served it's sinister purpose for many years on the Place de la Roquette and all over France, was being moved to it's new home many more people would have stopped to look at the silent procession.
 The new home of M. Deiblers widow is the courtyard of the Sante prison, so that when an execution is contemplated now there will be no watching the prem ises in the Rue del Folie-Regnault for signs of activity as tip that M Dei- bier is going to operate. Now the machine win be on hand, except of course, when it performs out of the capital. The resi- dents in the neigbborhood of its former resting place certainly are not complain ing of it's departure.
