Hard to Kill.

The Hawaiian Islands have always
been famed for their freedom from
snakes. People and animals could
wander with impunity through val
legs and over hills and mountains. An
importation arrived on the steamship
Alameda from California that might
have put an end to such delightful
serenity. This was the arrival Of three
fimsy boxes containing fourteen large
living snakes, five of them Tattlers.
Under rule such animals arriving In
the territory of Hawaii are ordered to
be Immediately destroyed or deported.
''In the destruction of these snakes"
says the narrator 1--WE had surp-ls'
ing experience. placed the boxes in
one of our fumigating chambers and
applied charge of double density of
hydrocyanic acid gas. The snakes
were still alive ut the end of fifteen
minutes, whereas If they had been
warm blooded animals they would
have succumbed in less number of
seconds. They were again shut up,
and quadruple charge Of the same
deadly gas was administered. At the
end Of one hour and half the fumi-
gator was opened. and several of the
snakes still showed signs of life. We
then immersed them in 95 per cent al
cohol. That soon put an end to their
venomous existence" - Youths Com.

In 1886 List went or tour in the
French provinces. He arrived at the
little town of L. to give a concert, as
announced. But the inhabitants ap-
peared to take but little interest in
musical matters, for when the must
clan appeared on the platform he
found himself face to face with an au-
dience numbering exactly seven per-
sons. List stepped very calmly to the
front, and, bowling respectfully to the
array of empty benches, he delivered
himself as follows;
Ladies and gentlemen, l feel ex-
tremely fiattered by your presence
here this evening, but this room Is not
at all suitable; the air is literally sti-
fling Will you be good enough to ac-
company me to my hotel, where l will
have the piano conveyed? We shall be
quite comfortable there, and l will go
through the whole of my program"
The offer was unanimously accepted,
and List treated his guests not only
to a splendid concert, but an excellent
supper into the bargain. Next day
when the illustrious virtuoso appeared
to give his second concert the hall was
not large enough to contain the crowd
which claimed admittance.

Young Women Hunt American
Husbands

Americas unwed male contingent,
that large element wanting wives Of
the practical kind, will be interested
in knowing that one hundred buxom
English and Irish girls have arrived
on their way to Canada, where they
expect to become wives of Northwest
ern farmers. Here's a chance for
ullers of the soil to land first prizes,
for there isn't a back number in the
bunch of beauties, and it is safe TO
bet that the farmers where they are
going could go farther and fare
worse. But think of the horse sense
of these young women in going into
country homes to make their future
homes, instead of flocking to over
crowded cities. In the country they
will be safe from the wiles and wick
edness of metropolitan life, and they
will get acquainted with steady and
sturdy characters of field and farm
and become honorable and useful
members of society.
