Not Appreciated by His Wife.
An Englishman who spent much time
I'm Bengal tells in Blackwood's Maya
zine about couple of pythons that
were kept as pets. He says:
"One hears a good deal about the
snakes. but one sees very little of them
at any time and in cold weather moth

one Of them had once escaped from the

IL was daytime. and she was resting
from the heat, and, hearing it advance,
breathing heavily, she thought it was
her somewhat asthmatical fox terrier
and told It TO lie down. As It seemed
to be making for her bed instead. she

pythons looking for warm place in

to Oriental Countries.
The expression run amuck" is the
Anglicized form of term used in some
parts of the orient to describe a form
of homicidal mania. accompanied by a
frenzied plunge in any and every direc-
ton. In the countries where the NAL
ady originated the word applied to 1t
was "amok." The corrupted form Of
1t is now applied in a score of ways
without much warrant.
In Malacca. Siam. Java and adjacent
regions the mental state which causes
amok is well defined and much dread
ed. 1t is attributed almost invariably
10 excessive drinking of stimulants.
The victim first turns morose, gener-
ally remaining in this state for several
days. Then he is suddenly seized with
the mania for slaughter and starts on
his mad run with the first weapon he
can reach.

ravages are taken in some OF the more
civilized places. especially Batavia

DEPLoREs SMALL MER-
CHANT MARINE.

r. Sdff Sheldon OF Houghton, while
on his recent trip from New York
around South America and return, was
one of the signers OF the following
protest by the passengers of the stcar'-
ship against the small number OF mer
chant steam vessels carrying The Am %
erican flag:
We, citizens of the United states,
rassengers on the steamship "Blueeher
To the number Of 1O1. have now sailed

great and to be greater
But at all places and at all times
we have looked in vain for mer-
chant steam vessel carrying the Tag
of the United States. What Is the
reason? u appears to be the provi5-
ions Of our laws. which prevent the ac-
Guisition Of foreign-b built vessels for
american registry in foreign trade.
This law, enacted fer the upouildinS
Of American shipyards, has not re-
suited in the building of American
ships for foreign trade. The cost Of
Americanbuilt ships, IN comparison
With those of foreign build. is prohibi-
tive. They have not been bailt, and in
consequence our Has has practically
disappeared from the high seas.
Nothing is more conductive TO &c q.
cuaintance between nations, and inter-
course and friendship between their
citizens, thar the constant sight OF
their respective flags.
Most Of the Latin American people
land there are 10000 900 of tteuO are

urally. he rarely continues 10 New
York London and Paris, England and
Trance, his acquaintances and friends
supply all wants.
This Is the message we would convey
To our friends and especially TO those
who shape the policies Of our country.
Remove this prohibition upon the
American registration Of foreign built
ships for foreign trade.
Let us buy cheap ships abroad, let
them be ofiicered by American citizens
and let them carry our flag to the peo-
pie who want to see us, and who are
ready and eager % know and trade
with US. BY this simple process We
shall take nothing from our shipyards
that they now enjoy. since they do not
build ships for foreign trade; we shall
add 10 our merchant marine and our
foreign and domestic trade; We shall
lay the foundation Of a naval organiza-
ton Of the greatest value in case OF
war with a foreign nation; and We
shall establish a real bond between the
Americas of the Western Hemisphere
that will be of vast. mutual and per-
manent benefit.
