SNAKES FOR SALE.

Hunting snakes for a living is the
occupation of a Mexican in San An
tonic, Tex. who finds a ready market
for all the venomous reptiles he
catches. says the Omaha Bee. The
buyer is dealer in West Commerce
street, who supplies shows, museums
and scientists.
The snakes are sold by weight, and
for choice specimens of rattlers 20
cents a pound is paid The Mexican
has two ways of catching a RATHER.
An old one is caught by placing a
forked stick over its body just back
Of the head and holding it down until
the snake catcher can grasp it safely
and drop it into a sack Young rat
tiers are grabbed by the Mexican
with his hand and dropped into a
sack without using the forked stick.
In catching water moccasins the
hunter wades into the stream, carry
ing moose, which is dropped into the
water in front Of the snake and pulled
up as it swims through. Small mecca
sins, like small rattlers. he catches
with his hands.

DISAPPEARANCE OF LAKES.

Whether the globe on which we
dwell is gradually drying up or not is
a question that has been much de-
bated. Recent discoveries in Central
Asia have been regarded by some as
favoring the affirmative answer, but
others have replied that the observed
phenomena are simply periodic
changes. DR.. Walser of Zurich cham
pions the affirmative view on the
ground that a number of European
lakes have certainly disappeared with
in the last go years. The Canton Of
Zurich, fsr example, had 149 lakes a
quarter Of a century ago, and only rs
today. He believes that q similar ten
dency to disappearance has affected
the lakes of Germany and Russia.

VALUABLE PRomIssoRY NOTE.

Franzied finance is not exclusively
q habit Of recent years. says the Kan
zas City Star. At the Riggs National
bank in Washington there IS care
fully guarded a proof Of the forego-
ing assertion. Regarding the proof,
there is told this story: One winter
morning, Henry Clay. finding himself
in need of money. went to The Riggs
bank and asked fer the loan of $3.50
on his personal note. He was told
that, while his credit was perfectly
good, it was the infexible rule Of the
bank to require an indorser The
great statesman hunted up Daniel
Webster and asked him to indorse
the note With rleaure." said Web
ster. But ] need some money my
self. Why not make your note for
five hundred. and you and | will split
it." This they cid And today the
note is in the Riggs bank-unpaid.
